yeah so i haven't updated in forever and actually haven't even thought of xanga in a long time..mostly because nobody eeever talks about it anymore probably because we're all forgotten about it.  but yeah..idk if there is a piont to this post at all i'm just gonna start typing and see where my mind goes.....so i'm pretty excited about this break i've already had a lot of fun with my best friend kayla black! haha crazy crazy times..and then yesterday i finally got to suprise my amazingly wonderful boyfriend garrett fox! he always suprises me and i love it when he does but i've always wanted to return the favor..and so i did! it didn't work out the way that i wanted it to but!..i still got to see him and hang out with him so..all is well. tonight i'm going to see facing the giants because i've heard it's a really good movie from all different aged people ..so i'm pretty excited about that..goin with garrett kayla and kevin, should be a lot of fun. today i've been cleaning ever since i woke up..kinda sucked but..it's good for things to be clean..so whatever...random statement: i hate it when you think finger nail polish is dry and you go about not worrying where your fingers are going and stuff but the next time you look at your fingers you've got a finger print in your nail polish....sooo i've got to work on friday and saturday of this week both from 12-8 which is the longest i've ever worked but i was gonna try to get off because i get to go see my dad's side of the family: my grandma and grandpa ect. and my grandma has been in the hospital i think for like 3 weeks..(idk could be completely wrong but..it was a really long time i know that..) and so i was looking forward to seeing her better and everything but i didn't know when we were gonna go see them so i couldn't ask off for work and then just a couple of days ago my mom tells me that we're gonna either go see them on friday or saturday........soo i tell her well mom..i'm scheduled to work for both of those days..and she was like oh darn..is there any way you could get off??...soo...i went to work that night and tried to tell Joy but she was like you'll have to talk to (i forgot his name so i'll call him bob) "bob"..so i went and talked to "bob" and he was like well idk you're normally supossed to ask off 2 weeks in advance and i was like i know sir but i just found out a couple of days ago my mom still isn't quite sure which day we're gonna go see them..and he was like well..that's not my decision you'll have to call sean on monday and i was like well ok....soo...i set a reminder on my phone to call sean on monday and i called him on monday..he wasn't there?..so i'm kinda like ok..whatever...and i tell my mom that and she's like well....i think you should work........i'm like ????? are you kidding me??..it's thanksgiving mom probably the best family holiday there is because christmas all the little kids come and sometimes it's the adults as well.. and it's basically all about the presents..not about Jesus or anything because no that's not what CHRISTmas is about at all it's just about getting cool stuff....NOT! it's all about Christ..how UNBELIEVABLE He is..how good He is to us..how He died on the cross just for us and rose again..how blessed we are..it's not all about the presents at all..its actually not about the presents period..we could just not have presents at all and it'd still be Christmas...try thinkin about that one...some of yall are probably thinking (if you keep reading this gigantic thing..) aaaahhhh that would suck so bad! but some of yall might be thinking deeper than that and would kinda like that...instead of it being about presents and stuff it'd be about all the right things...that'd be pretty cool in my opinion..yeah...it wouldn't be the same because that's what we grew up with..getting presents from santa clause on Christmas morning....but still...it'd be pretty cool...ok but ANYWAYZ!!! back to work...mom doesn't think i should get off because i didn't do what i was supposed to do and try to get off 2 weeks in advance..and so i was like...mom.....i didn't know when we were gonna go see them...and she was like...we've been seeing them the same time you're entire life..... mom.......you STILL don't know when we're gonna go see them....that makes no sense...my grandma has been in the hospital very close to dying and you dont' want me to get off of work and go see her????.....idk..i found that pretty retarded..and it kinda upset me..but then Garrett brought it to my attention and said Christmas isn't too far away...so...it's not as bad as i think....but still...it kinda sucks........soo...why i'm telling you this at all???...i really have no earthly idea because like i said at the very beginning of this hugantic thing that people don't even check xanga anymore that i know of....but whatever..i guess it's for my own amusement.....well...pretty sure i've written enough to stop writing haha...so...i hope yall have an AMAZING break and God Bless everyone! :)

ok so yeah...i haven't updated in forever...let's see...well i already told yall about flordia and after flordia was m-fuge in chicago...that was an AMAZING experience for yall that don't really know what m fuge is it's like a mission trip that is extended for about 6 weeks maybe and your church group is there for only 1 week and then you pass it on to other churches...so..at the time..our church was a 1/3 of this whole camp and had to be split up in 3 diferrent sites to work at..i was at the westside school...the first day we cleaned the actual school meaning cleaning the walls, desks, chairs, tables, and anything else that needed to be cleaned..the next few days we went across the street to go to the place that i think they rented? idk something for more class rooms i think..again not sure...but we cleaned that building inside and out and painted it the next few days and then one day we got to encouter w/ some homeless people..which was really really cool..i thought my shyness would come out like no other...but i wasn't..we lead in part of the service by singing a few songs..that was awesome..because i love to sing...(which reminds me i have another story..)...and then after the pastor spoke we gave them some food to take w/ them..and then just kinda hang out try to talk to the few people that stayed....that was pretty cool..ok..my story...the very first day we went into chicago we went to a latino church...now...our bus broke down and so we only had one bus to hall everybody to this church so therefore we had to take 2 trips..i was on the 2nd trip....so when we got there it was already started and they were singing...again...i love to sing.....so it's a latino church so i have NO idea what the heck they're saying but..the way they're singing and the way that they acted you could just feel the Lord..it was amazing...so...there was a screen on the wall w/ the words on there..so our youth group being musically inclined...we tried to sing these songs in their language....this probably sounds kinda funny but it was probably one of the most moving things i've ever experienced....but then they finally sang a song that we all knew..they put the english words up there and our group started to sing and then they took the english words and put the spanish words and they started to sing...so we're all singing in our own language and God is understanding every single one of us...and again music being my favorite type of worship that got to me and i could see people geting emotional as well...it was an awesome experience...another thing we got to do was go to navy pier and finally see the beauty of Chicago..which yes...it was very beautiful...the sunsets and the very very tall buildings....really cool to see...and yet another thing tha ti noticed was that the Lord was working in our Youth group as well..i have NEVER seen our youth group be sooo open with each other...even the quiet shy people that never talk allowed even spoke up and said something...that was very cool to see.....but m-fuge was awesome and if you ever get the chance to go to a mission trip or something of the sort...GO!...its well worth it....ok so...then......super summer came....i absolutely love super summer...it was really good this year too...at first i was kinda scared because our "family/sisters" weren't being very kind and just kinda seemed very stuck up in a way....but me and lauren deffinitly made the best of that and got along very well with our sisters and brothers...and our mom and dad were precious...and the speaker at this camp was AWESOME!!!!...he's the best speaker i've heard at this camp..and i've been to this camp quite a bit...he had such awesome messages to tell us..there were a lot of people saved or rededications..which is always awesome to see...and also..i was honostly upset that they got another band besides the swift but...once i heard them...it was all ok...they were very very good....and if you bought a CD of them please tell me because i would love to have a copy of that...please and thank you .........so next i have VBS..craig's birthday and my birthday and then Praiseworks....very exciting can't wait..comin up in a few days!.......but since yall are probably not gonna read all of this i'll shut up.....happy fourth of july by the way...but yeah....yall have a wonderful rest of the summer...much love to everyone and...smile God loves you <><
