hey hey! i'm in sunny california at my aunts! it was about 65-70 degrees here today. it was wonderful!! my aunt took us to a few beaches and around. it's so beautiful here!! i love it!! we layed out in the sun in our bathing suits this afternoon. and she has an OUTDOOR shower!! with a curtain and everything. it's soooo cool!!! it 's so much fun!!! just everything is great here. i'm having a blast and i hope you all are too!!!! i miss you all!!! love and hugs!

okay, first off, i just want to congradulate the guys on winning the talent show without anyone having a band bashing war with the comments. i respect all the bands for the courage to get up in front of almost 1,000 people and play music. it takes alot of guts and i think everyone did a great job. i think everyone thinks that i totally hate BSC because i'm such a fuzzy logic fan but i don't. i think BSC has a lot of potential and a lot of talent within their band. but i will always be back stage cheering on josh, jake, roman and "the bass player", whoever it may be :).

okay, so... now that's over and done with i will continue.

monday we leave for san fransisco. i did the majority of my packing tonight so i should be okay. i'm reallllllly excited!! the weather should be nicer than all the ice and snow here! danielle called me from florida today! i was so happy to hear from her. she said it was about 80 degrees there and she was sitting by the pool in her bathing suit! ahhh....it sounded sooo nice. but soon enought, i too will be doing the same i hope. it just won't be 80 degrees. 70 if i'm lucky.

the puppies are doing good. mom gave them a bath today and they are all nice and clean to go over to jill's house for break. they are so cute sometimes. they'll just fall asleep in my arms and it's the best feeling. :)

anyways, i'm still a little sick and my voice is still a little froggy but that's okay. hope everyone has a good break and i'll be thinking about you all in CA. lots of love and hugs!!

if anyone has any ideas (good ones not stupid ones) for names for my new puppy, please comment...i'm so lost! she's a girl and a golden retriever/lab mix. sooo....bring on the names!!!!!

hmmm... it's been a while since my last post. sorry about that, but i've been extremely busy bee.

mentoring is going good, but it's getting a little old. the same old ritual every day, same snacks, same kids, same teachers....it's kind of boring. but, hey, it's money. and i shouldn't be complaining.

the musical is finally over!! hurrah! it was alot of fun, but i'm really glad it's done. last week was just really jam packed and it just added to the stress pot. the cast party was just a riot last night. we had a blast doing all those silly dances. jess came home with me after and spent the night. so we had a full house with grandpa and grandma here.

state solo and ensemble was yesterday. both my quartet and solo got a one so i was very happy about that. i think almost everyone was very pleased with our ratings. we worked hard. personally, i had a blast and can't wait till next year!

sooo... now it's time to start thinking about spring break, which i'm very ready for by the way. i'm looking forward to seeing my aunt and spending sometime with her and my mom out in california.

the 30 hour famine was last weekend. so far we have raised $2,500 for world vision. they will be using the money to provide food, shelter, health care and clothing to people of poverty all over the world, but mostly in africa. it was one of the most life changing experences i've ever had. 30 hours going without food seems like a long time, but it wasn't at all. especially when you think of the people who go so much longer without food. my stomach didn't even growl! the great band, clemency from oklahoma city was there and played at the great concert friday night with 3 other bands. they played some more on saturday and because they were staying with ashley badge and her family, they came to church and sunday school on sunday morning and played there too. they were awesome and extremley nice and just a joy to meet. we're hoping they can come and visit somtime this summer. so overall, it was an amazing experence. i have a booklet of everyones testamonies. if anyone is intrested in reading what was going through our minds, talk to me and i'll bring it in for you to read.

well, with that, i think that's all that's been going on latley. everyone wish ANDY a happy 15th birthday on saturday, march 29th. i know it's early, andy, but i don't know if i'll write before then, so i'm getting it in now :). and happy 16th birthday to RYAN on wednesday, march 26th.

hope everyone has a good week and feel free to update me on what's been going on with you too! i love email and comments! good night and sweet dreams to all :)

p.s. wet

:)

something new and smelling good...wooo!
okay, here's the lowdown. i went tanning today, got a little pink so i put on my sweet pea lotion to ease the pain :)...ahhh....yummmmmm it smells sooooooooo good! i think i'm going to use it more often.

i need something new in my life. something new to wash away these winter icks for a bit. i actually would like a new friend. guy or gal...it really doesn't matter. so if any of you know a good person to befriend, leave me a comment and we'll be in busniess. or....if you want to be my friend then feel free to leave a comment as well. it would be nice if the person lived in like a 25-30 mile range and no more. i've never really had much luck with long distance friendships/relationships/whatever else you want to call it...bleh...

yup, tanning, lotion and new. i think that's it.

oh yeah...hey wind ensemble people.... really how well do you think we'll do tomorrow at the pre-festival?
1 2 3 4 5 .... remember... 1 is best, 5 is worst. we'll have to see... i really hope it comes together because if it doesn't, i really think we're going to be screwed. at least it's pre-festival.

good night :~)

it's been a while. oh well, frankly, i don't really care how long it's been. time doesn't and shoudn't really matter to me. i really don't like time. it can make you anxious, uncomfortable, and sad. it always goes by too fast when you're having a good time and it always goes by too slow when your life really sucks. it might make you feel a little better, or worse, depending on the circumstances. time seems to be quite pushy too. everyones life revolves around it. it's unfair to some and too generous to others. it treats no one equal. so yeah, all in all, time sucks. it's probably my second worst enemy next to distance. but we'll save distance for a later day when i'm not so tired. do you know how lucky you are?

ehhh.... first this is needed..

SSSIIIGGGHHH......

big blehhh... all over the place :)

i'm just feeling icky. you know... here's why..
1.ryan keeps popping into my head and my heart is being an ass about it. sometimes i hate my heart for that... it just pushes me into things i don't want
2.i don't have a valentine.....again. what else is new? i've never had a valentine, what's going to change this year?? NOTHING!
3.i need to get my algebra 2 grade up
4.SSSUUUUMMMMMMMMEEEEERRRR!!!!!!!
5.i want to be at wolverine band camp right now!
6.grandpa is in the hospital, and isn't coming out....soooo yeah that says enough
7.things just suck!

oh well... if you want to be my valentine, contact me by clicking the small word entitled "wow" on the bottom of your screen (however, if you're reading this on a friends page, it won't be wow...it will be something else, but you get the idea). thanks :)

PS...HAPPY BIRTHday TO BEANSY ON SUNDAY!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOO!!!!!!!! THE BIG ONE SIX (16)!!!!!!!! YES!!! :D

well, in just a few minutes i'm off to go get my wisdom teeth yanked from my face. eep! i can't eat anything before, so i'm so hungry right now! haw haw haw... anyways, wish me luck, pray for me ect...

umm...not much else going on at the moment. ryan and i are trying to work out a day when we can get together for the benifit of all people. haha... so no one will have to listen to us wining how we miss each other. but you have to agree, i've been pretty good lately. maybe because we're just friends? bleh...i don't know. anyways, hope everyone has a good weekend. i'll probably be just laying in bed in pain, so feel free to call or stop by and see me all puffy. :) tomorrow we're going to lansing though, it's been planned a long time now to go see phantom of the opera, so that should be fun. heh.. i'm going to be so tired. heh... cya guys :)
