Yard Sale and Church

Friday afternoon to night I went to first pres to help set up the yard sale scheduled for Saturday. I was there for a freakishly looong time! (3:45-7:00) I left before they were actually done setting up. So yesterday I showed up hecka early (7:30AM) which is just wrong for a Saturday, and was there until 2:00PM! I thought it was over at twelve, but obviously was mistaken. You meet some REALLY werid and scary people in downtown Yakima! Lets see, there was the guy straight from the 70s, the deathy pale woman wearing all black, a man with a nonworking leg and arm who wanted to be my best friend (creapy), the two homeless women with missing teeth who hovered over my table and tried to steal from the yard sale, the woman who wanted me to host a Cathie Lee party at my house, and the little girl who could've been a little boy except that she was wearing red and pink and had earings in her ears. During less busy spurts the other kids helping with the sale and I tried on some really scary looking clothes. (A blue and purle blazer, flowered hat for who knows what and a mumu.) That was fun! At 2:00 Greg (the guy in charge) let the Trailseeker families in to take what we hadn't sold for free. (These are poor families from Yakima. He works with their kids.) I got to see Enrique, Lupe and Yolanda who I usually only see on Wednesdays at LOGOS! I also bought a 12 set of plastic cups, a movie, two ordaments and a campbells soup mug which are for when I live on my own.
This morning I was at church from 8:00AM until 1:30PM 'cause we had an extra practice for the Pops Concert during second service and after.
Now on to homework. I have a major group project due on Friday and a Plagues & Peoples book to read.
Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Spring Quarter

I start out at 7:30 AM with reniasance to napoleon history Mr. Walker's the teacher. Jenn's in this class too. Then I have math 85 (beginning algebra) with Mr. Mayo at 8:30. When I told my mom she told me that he's my second cousin twice removed by married or something like that. How crazy is that? Mom also said that he'll know me on site 'cause he knows my parents. I just chose him 'cause he's the best (so I've heard) math teacher. I have general psycology at 9:30 with Mr. Mount and. . . Anna and Stover! Yea! I'm super excited! So I'm done with class by 10:20! That means time to go work out at West Valley Fitness after class and I'll get to go to intervarsity worship on Thursdays!

Girls Night In

Well for me it started at like three in the afternoon yesterday when I met Bonnie and Margarete at Borders. (I was there for my disease group meeting.) So we went to go see Phantom of the Opera which was actually pretty good much to my suprise. Then Bonnie and Margaret took me back to Borders to get my car and we met up at Bonnie's house where Anna, and Cherize were waiting for us. (Kim showed up right after I did.) Bonnie's awesome parents made dinner for us (enchiladas (sp)). And we finally played Settler of Catan when I was present! It's pretty fun. Need I say that Margaret won? And then Apples to Apples which is my favorite game. During Settlers Annie brought in her tape recorder with the tape we'd made for Margaret on it. So at random points in both the afore mentioned games she'd play the tape in response to what one of us had said. After Bonnie won Apples to Apples, we just sat around and asked the tape recorder random questions while either fast forwarding or rewinding the tape, and then see if what we played made sense in answer to the question we asked it. It was really funny! So if the tape's right, Annie will kill Steve by throwing me at him and Kim will find the body. (Sorry Steve, but it was Annie's idea.)

Today I get to look forward to much homework as I have two tests. ( One on Tuesday and one on Wednesday. ) Prayer for doing well on both of them would be much apprieciated since it's geography and biology respectively and they just happen to fall into the science catagory which I suck at.

Wedding Bells are going to Ring Four Times!

I have four, count 'em four cousins getting married this summer, Christmas and next spring! One in July, August, December and next April or May. I'm sooo excited! I really enjoy every cousin-in-law I'll have. My cousins are all Christians and God gave each of them awesome Christians to marry!
We went through a time when every year a cousin (or sister) graduated from high school and now it's onto at least one getting married once a year. I think it's funny how it clumps up like that. But I guess that only works when the ages aren't far apart.

In choir for our Pops Concert we're doning a Beattles lots of songs put together. (What's the name for that? Melsomething.) Anyway, one of the songs is Goin' to the Chapel and we're gonna get Married. Another is These Boots were made for Walkin' and It's My Party and I'll Cry if I want to. Those are all really fun songs!

10 Reasons Why Valentine's Day is Great

(I've read too many 10 reasons why I hate Valentine's Day posts.)

1. Candy
2. Get to see/hang out with friends
3. Don't have to worry about your guy (that you don't have) forgeting to get you something
4. I got two really good romance novels from my parents
5. It was sunny outside! I love sun!
six, seven, eight, nine and ten- God loves me and all you all no matter what

I feel better now! Anybody else?
Have a good rest of the week everyone!

KLove

This afternoon my dad and I took my car to Randall Park and then to Costco to get gas. We fed the ducks at the park. I know it's pretty corny to feed the ducks, but my dad wanted to and nobody else would go with him. It was actually kind of fun because there were no geese around. (Geese are scary because when we were little my dad would make them chase us and they'd try to bit us 'cause they wanted the bread we had in our hands. It was very traumatic.) Yeah.

Then on our way to Costco my dad rolled down the window to fiddle with the antanna(sp). He's strong so he made it go up a few more inches! (Mom & I had tried and we couldn't make it go up anymore.) So I tried KLove and it worked! I'm so happy! I was getting deprived.

Gotta go 'cause Julie needs to get on the internet. Talk to ya later.

Randomness

Yesterday Anna and I skipped our 8:30 class and went to Essencia Bakery and Starbucks and her work to give an oatmeal cookie to her co-worker Marty. It was my first time skipping a class. I'll probably never do it again because with my luck I'll miss the day that Mr. Blisard tells us something important like we're having a test on Monday or something.

Tomorrow I'm meeting my disease group (SARS) in the library which reminds me that I gotta print my info. off the computer today. The people in my group are pretty nice I suppose except the blonde girl is super ditzy! But at least she has the hair to match her approach to geo/bio. She asks the questions that she must not think about before asking.

Today at Apple Valley my mom had her problem boy run out of the room in the middle of class! I didn't see what happened, but he's done stuff like that before.

Julie just got home, so I gotta get off the internet.

Family Time

Yesterday afternoon at about 1:00PM Barbie got home. It was sooo great to see her! There's something about seeing her in person after her having been in Haiti for three and a half weeks. Anyway, we all had lunch together while she told us about the babies she'd grown to love. Then we went for a walk up the canal road onto the Indian Reservation. Julie made dinner and Laura & Cahnen came over to join us. (And Barbie's best friend.) After dinner we begged my dad to get out slides from when we were little, which he did. After being hassled by four daughters, who could say no? So for the next few hours we just sat and laughed at the funny pictures. It was great! We haven't done that in forever! (At least not with all eight of us there.) We also did a puzzle. (One of those billion piece ones, ya know? At least to me it seemed that way. Need I say we didn't finish it?)

This morning I went to church with Valerie and we sat with Laura and Cahnen with Uncle Stew sitting in front of us. It is sooo funny to listen to him comment on what's being said or done up front! He's really funny once he gets into it! (That sounds pretty redundant, but I'm not in the mood to change it.)

Oh, and we have a Haiti Team at church that's leaving Thursday. They go to Terre Blanche and run a medical "hospital" of sorts and a VBS. I sooo want to go someday! The only problem is they only go in November and February so it's always during school.

Now onto homework. Sad Days. But I have a test tomorrow and one on Wednesday. Plus the weekly seminar. Talk to ya all later.

My Pretty Boring Day

Okay, today it was sooo windy! Oh my gosh. If it hadn't been for the wind it would've been really nice. (Curses the wind) I went for a walk this morning despite the wind. The tumbleweeds were everywhere! It was crazy! There was also an extremely yappy dog who freaked out and went wild when I walked past his yard on the other side of the street.

I went to Old Navy this afternoon and got a really cute green purse. I also got two shirts one 3/4 and one T-sirt, and a $1 deck of cards with those nasty Valentine's Day hearts on the back. They were just random (and cheap), so I had to get them. What I really wanted was to get a sweatshirt but alas, the only ones they had were for boys and even the smalls are too big. Sad Days. (I'm geting extremely tired of people commenting on my WVHS sweatshirts.)

Hope everyone else had a good day.

SALT

Last night Annie, Keith, Andy and I went to SALT. It was A LOT of fun! The paster at CMA church is awesome! He spoke on faith and the different ways it can be unhealthy. I learned a lot. The werid thing is that when I got home I did a devotional that goes along with the sermon series at church that was about fortitude in faith. I think God was trying to tell me something. Andy drove us there and I'm just glad I got home alive. He drives a little to fast for my sanity. Plus he told us just as we were entering Yakima that he wasn't wearing his contacts. I didn't even know he had contacts and I'm glad I didn't until the very end of the drive.

I tried to post this at school, but the YVC computers in the lab are dumb! I sat there and waited for it to publish itself for longer than I should have to. I finally gave up and got off the internet. (Annie and I had to get to class.)

I'm not going to Spokanne this weekend. Barbie has to work Friday so she's just going to come over on Saturday and stay until Sunday afternoon. I think she's coming to please my mom more than anything 'cause mom needs to physically see with her own eyes that Barbie is safe and everything. Personally I don't blame my mom. But I get to see Barbie! It'll be great! I'm excited.
Jenn, if you see George around school in the near future tell him happy birthday for me as it's his birthday today.

Only one more day of school this week!
Talk to ya all later.
