How I would survive!

Ok! So today I was thinking and what if I was stranded on a desert island and could only have one food for the rest of my life... mine would be a sub, because it has something on it from every food group. Like meat (meat group), cheese (dairy group), bread (carbohydrates), lettuce and others (vegetable group), tomato (fruit group). And, you can switch it up so that you don't have to eat the same type of sub for a while! Plus, It's also healthy for you! And, That is totally what I would eat for the rest of my life... If I was stranded on a desert island and had to survive!

I Fancy you!

Ok! So today my friends and I were talking and my friends little sister was saying how her boyfriend said "I love you" to her on the first day they started going out. And we started talking about how that sentence is used way to much in the American-English language. I mean... we say that we have the same word for a person, a car and a sandwich! In other languages, they have 3 words for love, each having there own level of feeling! I think that there should be a word in between like and love! The British-English call it "fancy!" I think, I'm going to start using it! :)

p.s. Thank you, Katie Allen and Alyssa LeRoy, for giving me the idea for this post! :)

Mr. Clean's Wife

OK... Today, I didn't feel that well so I didn't go to school... It's a weird sickness where I can't sleep but I am so tired and it makes me feel sick... I think because I am not sleeping... but anyways that is not important... When I started to feel better, I did something that I have a real passion for, Cleaning! Now I know that that sounds strange but I really enjoy cleaning. <>I'm a very neat and organized person... I usually tidy up everyday but then once a week on the weekends. I make a list about every week and check things off when I am done with them. I vacuum, wash window, water plants and much more. I really enjoy cleaning I think because I get to move around a lot too! I hate standing/sitting in one spot... I kind of have to be doing something to enjoy myself. Plus, I can do just about anything while cleaning like listen to music, watch TV and talk on the phone. And then when I'm done I feel so accomplished... I also LOVE spring cleaning... hurry up spring, so I can do some spring clean! :)

Four wheeling

So, I was in search of a blog to read and write about and I came across this blog... About four wheeling! She told a story about her husband and how he got into a four wheeling accident and how he was covered in mud with a battle wound. (http://jenerahealy.blogspot.com/) This story reminds me of the many CRAZY things that have happened while riding our four wheeler. My Great Uncle Jack, has a farm in Windsor. There are these old railroad trails that go for miles and miles. Every weekend in the summer my family and I bring our campers and camp out. We always have so much fun! Well, one of the many weekends we went there (toward the end of the summer start of the fall), my cousin, Shane and I were riding our four wheeler, and our goal was to get to this trail that was pretty far away from our campsite. The only thing was that it just seemed like one bad thing after another was happening. We had to cross this river and we didn't realize how deep it was and I almost flooded the engine, then my cousin Shane drove though a bee hive and got stung all over his body, the final thing that happened was really rough... To get to this trail you had to drive down a certain road for a couple minutes, It had just rained and the road was really wet with all these wet leaves on it. Well, I wasn't acting responsible and being just stupid and so I spun out and hit a guardrail. In fact! I got pinned between the four wheeler and guardrail AND my head knocked off a mailbox off its pole. Since my cousin was a head of me he didn't know that I wasn't behind him anymore. Eventually he came back for me and saw me pinned up and stuck, just numb! We didn't say anything to each other. He saw that was covered in blood and mud, my pants ripped so much that it looked like I had been wearing shorts. Shane pulled the quad off of me and we walked to the guys house to let him know that I had taken him mailbox out with my head and that we were going to come back and fix it for him. The man was very friendly and said that we didn't have to do that. He was worried about me but I said I was fine so my cousin and I left. When we got back on our quads my cousin said ready to go back, I didn't want to go back but I knew that we had to... We got back and the parents FREAKED OUT! ....So that day we never made it to our trail! :( I think it was the same day when my mom almost rode off a cliff TWICE on accident! Wow! Bad DAY! haha but it was still a good time!

Happy Birthday Matty!

So... another one of my friends had a birthday this week, Matt. We met about a little over a year ago! A lot has happened in this last year and I don't know what I would do without him!! He is always making jokes and always making me laugh! Today, at around 3:00, we sort of had like a birthday party for him! We first when over to Katie's house and played rock band, then when our friend Colin got there, we all went to Taco Bell. (because Matt LOVES Taco Bell!) After that, We picked up Jorden and Joe at the mall and went back to Katie's to watch "Dude, Where's my car?!" We chilled, ate cake and talked. We are the type of people who could not do anything but have the best time in the world! It was a really great day and a great way to end our big long break! Happy Birthday Matty!

30 hour famine

Last night, at around 5:30 p.m. all the teens (like 150) that were fasted came to our church so we could finish the fast together. We played games, learned about who/what our money was going to and our pastor talked about being selfless, which i realized that I need to work harder at. We got about 5 hours of sleep and then got up and did it all over again! After a while, you don't feel the need to really eat... you just have to get though the 11th and 12th hour and then your just kinda numb. We ended it at 1:00 p.m. with a huge meal, I ate really slow and not a lot because you can get really sick (it has happened to me before... :( We made about $21,009 help a village in Africa, we all felt really accomplished and the fasting was totally worth it!
