something to say. it's funny that i just changed my heading to say "God has something to say- to us and through us" because ....i've realized how true that actually is in the past week. :)

write more later.

teia

**update 10:02 pm**

ok. this past week i've realized how much God has something to say to us and through us.

Here are the things God has said to me recently...like in the past week:

-be patient
-don't worry
-I'LL take care of everything.
-someone is ALWAYS there for you.


i cant wait for matthew west's new cd called something to say....that's why i have the new banner thing. so yeah. hope you all have a great day.

love.

ok. so i really have to get off the computer and go to sleep.but ill just write some quick stuff. so um. my life the past few weeks. we had the play two weeks ago. that was really fun. and a good experience..as always. then last week we had the thanksgiving feast at school on monday. it was soo good. and i had pumpkin pie. tuesday we had practice for singing with the milwaukee symphony orchestra and 4 other choirs. the actual performance is tomorrow and im really excited.thanksgiving last week was really fun. we had the popes over and ate really good food. then we watched the packer game. kinda. and played football in the backyard at the new house. i guess technically its not relaly new..well it is but we've been there for about a month now. so we played and there was a lot of mud and snow. and people were flying everywhere. it was pretty humorous. then josh stayed over for a while and we watched a movie..oh yeah we watched liar liar and the pilot episode of alias. it was really cool. then he took us to moms house. and we slept for like three hours. and then mom got me and isabel up so we could go shopping on black friday. michael came with us. so we shopped. the rest of the weekend was really relaxing which was a good thing. becuase i really needed a nice relaxing weekend. so that has been my life in a paragraph for the past two weeks. thats about it.
keep zoe in your prayers. and thats about it.

new day. robbie seay band.

I'm gonna sing this song
To let you know that you're not alone
And if you're like me
You need hope, coffee, and melody
So sit back down
Let the world keep spinning ‘round
For yesterday's gone and today is waiting on you to show your face

It might not be
The prettiest thing that you'll ever see
But it’s a new day, oh baby, it’s a new day
And it might not look like
A beautiful sunrise
But it's a new day, oh baby, it’s a new day

I’m a pilgrim soul
I've traveled far and come back home
This land is hard and cold
For those who long to love
And I know it might seem
That the world is crumbling
But it’s me and you dancing in the kitchen at 2 am
And we're still alive

It’s the calm of the storm that comes blowing in
It’s the springtime saying I'm back again
The clouds that roll by
Crossing moonlight
Me and you love – everything's alright
Standing in the rain with nowhere to go
Laughing and we're spinning and I hope that you
Remember this day
For the rest of your life
Me and you love – everything’s gonna be alright

And it just might be
The prettiest thing that you'll ever see
It’s a new day
Oh baby, it’s a new day
If you look outside
To see a beautiful sunrise

--love . me. ♥
It’s a new day

hey. so right now im in class...yet again. this class isnt too bad. it's computers I. we do lots of typing and learning more about word documents. so yeah. i already finished my paper so i have free time. and my teacher is like " you blog teia?" um.. yes i do. :)

ok i really need to go study for a quiz i have next hour. :) thats the way it goes i guess. hope you have a great day!

love . me. ♥

its november. i love it. its fall time. im a little sad that the leaves are basically done changing colors and falling off of trees. now im looking forward to buying everyone christmas presents. just because it'll be tons of fun. and that's my favorite part of the season, getting everyone else presents and seeing what they think of them. yay christmas.

the past few weeks have been really neat. ive had amazing friends to hang out with and we've become closer. last weekend was dad's birthday. saturday we cleaned the house and then later mrs. pope, kristin and josh came over. all of us had a blast and we ate tons of food and desserts. we had a bonfire in the huge bonfire pit that we had. and then some of us went and sat out on the pier. i love that pier. its just the perfect spot to go and talk. even though its no different than sittin right next to the water. i guess its kinda like youre not even a part of the yard anymore. you become on your own little island and you can talk about anything and everything and noone will hear you. thats what i love about it. so for a while kristin, isabel and i sat out there and talked. it was just about the week and how excited we were to see each other but it meant the world to me. it was a great time to just relax.

josh and kristin are my best friends in the whole world. its funny when i read that sentence because it sounds like a little kid saying it. it sounds like im in 3rd grade and its one of those friendships that lasts for like 2.5 years and then you totally forget about your "best friends" but. the funny thing is is that there's no other way to put that sentence more perfectly. i can tell them everything and they listen. sure they might think im annoying sometimes but it happens. they dont look at me with that "i-have-no-idea-what-you're-saying-but-ill-pretend-i-do" look. they just know. for the first time in my life. i finally know what its like to have that friend who i can tell everything to. its the first time that i know i might be soooo angry at them that i cant talk to them but in a little while....i just get over it. i finally just have those people that i can think about and then just laugh or smile to myself because i thought of them and that's all i need to make my day. these two wonderful people are probably going to be the only ones who understand this but that's ok because if they understand it...thats all i need.
i realize more and more why God put these two in my life. i dont know what i'd do without them. i love them. the end. :P

oh and here's some great pictures of us.

we act like this on sundays only guys..---> :P

alexis is my cousin. :) so we talked last night for the first time in ages. ok. maybe it's only been about two or three weeks. but we're family i think maybe we should talk a little more than that. so the two of us talked for a few minutes and i realized how much i missed her. i dont know what else to say but i miss her and i love her. and i cant believe she's 16...we're the same age now!! yay. :) but not for long...my birthday is coming up.

to end this post i've decided to add one of my favorite songs right now because i love the lyrics. and plus. whitney houston sings it. and she's amazing.

Where do I go when there's nobody else to turn to?
Who do I talk to when nobody wants to listen?
Who do I lean on when there's no foundation stable?
I go to The Rock
I know He's able
I go to The Rock
Chorus:
I go to The Rock for my salvation
I go to the stone that the builders rejected
I run to the mountain and The Mountain stands by me
When the earth all around me is sinking sand
On Christ, the solid rock I stand
When I need a shelter, when I need a friend
I go to The Rock
Where do I go, where do I go,
When the storms of life are threatening?
Who do I turn to when those winds of sorrow blow?
And is there a refuge in the time of tribulation?
I go to The Rock
I know He's able
I go to The Rock
I know he's the rock for my salvation
I know he's the stone that the builders rejected
I run to the mountain and The Mountain stands by me
When the earth all around me is sinking sand
On Christ, the solid rock I stand
When I need a shelter, when I need a friend
I go to The Rock
I go to The Rock
You can go to The Rock
Oh I can go
I go to The Rock
When the earth all around me is sinking sand
On Christ, the solid rock I stand
When I need a shelter, when I need a friend
I go to The Rock


really this is the end.

i love you all soo much. and i miss you.

love me. ♥

May It Be
May it be an evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh! How far you are from home

Mornie utúlië (darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantië (darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now

May it be the shadows call
Will fly away
May it be you journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun

Mornie utúlië (darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantië (darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now

A promise lives within you now

♥ me.

new blog time. lots has happened since i last wrote. school started. the whole first week was pretty crappy. im not gonna lie. whatever. um. so that tuesday night kristin and josh did come over. it was a blast. we were going to get a movie from blockbuster. and then decided that we were going to drive on paradise drive. first of all. it was foggy. really really foggy. you couldnt see anything. so we drove up there. and yeah. kristin, josh , isabel, kellen and i were all in kristin's car. i think that we all freaked (tweaked) out at least once while we were on paradise drive. it was crazy.! then we came back to dad's and watched vacancy. yeah. i dont think it wouldve been as scary but all of us were still freaked out from the drive we took before. so we were screaming and hiding under blankets even though it was really warm outside. we were freaked out. then the next day isabel, michael, kristin, josh and i all went to king's buffet. and it was sooooo good. i love chinese food. so we went there. and ate a ton of food. and then met kristin's cousin or something...at culvers it was hilarious. hm. after that we hung out at josh's house for a while. and just hung out. nothing in particular. weird. then we drove michael home....it was the last day of summer. :(
school started and that was ok. i struggled through my first day. i almost ran into some walls then i couldnt open my locker. that sunday kellen, mom and i went shopping in the wb. and we went to noodles for dinner. and josh was working. it was really funny. last week during the week was pretty boring. i didnt do much. and then this past weekend. we had the back to school dance and that was fun. i danced with sarah. :) she's so cute. then saturday josh, selah, elise, ethan and i hung out at the park and made some videos. i went to the java house and bought a smoothie. cause josh was working and i told him i was going to go bug him. so i did.....so the 5 of us hung out at the park...we videotaped the whole thing it was soo much fun. and we had a sprinkler fight...that was really funny. cause josh didnt want to get wet. and then he wore dad's clothes for the night.
on sunday we just hung out. i cleaned the garage. then we went to michaels for a bonfire. and videotaped taht .....it was nuts. monday. i went to the beach with mom, sam and mason. it was sooo nice out and we had tons of fun eating on the beach. anyways i have homework to do. and maybe people to call. so im gonna go......BYE.
♥ me.

i didnt realize that i havent written since last sunday. wow. im a dork. anyways. so school starts on thursday.. :( yeah. well actually i dont really know if i want it to come. i think the hardest part about it coming and being in school is taht i really dont want this summer to end. i dont want to forget anything taht happened cause that would suck. i just i love everything that happened this summer from mason's baptism and party all the way to craigs "pool party" haha. which really ended up being not a pool party cause of the rain. oh well. its been raining for like 4 days straight or something. well not the entire time.but off and on. its just beenr eally cloudy and stuff like that. what a pain in the butt. i dont like rain. i do but its too cloudy and overcast and its depressing and grrrrrrr. im gonna have enough of this in winter.

ook so ..on friday i was supposed to watch a movie with josh cause i was incredibly bored. and wanted to watch a movie. but then he totally ditched me. ;) haha. i was really really mad. i mean come on. but he's like oh i promise well do it tomorrow. after i get off of work. yeah. right.
i had this message from kristin sayng that josh was going to chicago for the night. and then i went to work ....really really mad. so i got off workat like 9 andwent home. iwas so mad. i talked to kristin. and josh was there. and i was being a real bitch. sorry.but i was being mean. i mean thats the second night in a row. so yeah. theni went and read. and came back down and kristin's like we're gonna call you. so they did. and josh told me that i shouldnt evenbe mad at him. and i was like are you kidding me? i just was blown off yesterday and you told me youd be here tonight. but no. you did it again. then he told me that kristin and him had been talking about isabel and me the whole night...so thats why i shouldnt be mad. kristin was telling me how she was coming ina few days and then we'd hang out and watch a movie. and drink koola. and maybe get isabel to climb in a few cupboards. haha. im not really mad at him now. all i wanted to do was watch a movie but whatever. i guess tonight will be exciting.
tonight kristins coming and hopefully we'll hang out. well with josh . and watch a movie. cause i still havent watched a movie ...and already really early last week i told kristin i wanted to watch a movie with josh. yep. still hasnt happened. well if you dont count the best of broadway thing. :) so then tomorrow michael, isabel, josh and i are going to have dinner and hang out before summer ends...then school starts the next day.
yeah thats my week.

yay. aly read my blog. haha.

ok. write more a different day.

♥ teia.

right now i am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo mad. it is driving me nuts. you know what. i HATE it when people dont let me know if that dont want to do something. or if they just decide that they "dont need me" anymore. you dumb stupid people . just let me know. i think -no i know- i would be less mad if you just told me instead of totally blowing me off. i mean seriously are you kidding me. i sit and wait and sit and wait. and then only to find out that im not waiting for anything. STUPID > ahhhhh. i am so angry. i hate it. gr. gr. gr.gr. so lets see.. calming myself. ok. so today i cleaned my room for three hours. it wasnt that messy its just that i took my time on it. and went through EVERYTHING. like all my clothes figuring out what i was getting rid of and went through all of my drawers full of crap and looked through all of it. i threw away and got rid of a lot of stuff. then after that . i had dinner. and was on the computer. and up in my room trying to stay sane by myself. haha. funny right? yeah i know. so lets see. um. because i was so bored i put on a sparkly, glittery butterfly and flower tattoo on my left shoulder. it looks cute. yes. tahts how bored i was. hm. im so tired of being on the computer just because im bored and have nothing else to do. so yeah. i really really dont want to go back to school. just cause im bored of that too. hm. waht else. so isabel was just sitting in the recliner and all of a sudden she's like i just peed and it felt sooooooooo good. and i turned aroundand said WHAT? ...shes like. oh i meant. wow . sorry. 20 minute late reaction. but when i peed it felt really good.
anyways. that was really funny.
the best part about hanging out with isabel, michael and josh. is that i laugh so much and really hard when im with them. i never realized how good laughing feels...for the first month and a half when we hung out we laughed all the time. then josh left for his "fun week" in chicago with kristin and hunter and them. and i didnt laugh that entire week. well i did but it wasnt as often. but then when whatshisname got back and we hung out together ...we were laughing and it just felt like this huge blanket was being taken off. i felt soo much better after laughing and letting all the crappy parts go. it felt so good. and i realized how much i really really love laughing. how did i live without it before these three wonderful people hung out with me....? i really dont know. anyways. so yeha. i got to talk to josh's friend kristin on the phone when we were at six flags and it was really funny. she's really sweet. i cant wait to meet her. it will be sooo much fun. anyways. hm. im still really bored and its taken me forever to write this thing becuase ive been spacey and crap like that. i really gotta work on my website sometime soon and change the pcitures around. i gotta put up some sweet ones from this summer. so yeah. um ....i m gonna go. i know noone reads this but anyways. so yeah.
i love this summer. and i love the people i hung out with times 1000000000000000000..however taht much is.

teia

hey. guys. so yesterday we went to six flags.it was sooo awesome. i got up cause mrs. pope called and was asking about what was going on. then i got ready and stuff. hm. josh came over and we went to mom's to go pick up isabel and michael. we drove and were talking and crap. then we got there right at ten. right when it opened. there was hardly anyone there because it was supposed to storm really really bad i guess. well it didnt ...really. it was about 90 out and beautiful and sunny. we first went on the superman ride. ahhh. first upside down roller coaster guys!! it was awesome.! hm. what else. we went on like every ride. and all the lines were about 15 minute waits. it wasnt bad at all. it was great. um. this isnt the order or anything but its what we went on and how many times.
raging bull- 3 times
superman- 2 times
vertical velocity- 2
batman- 1
american eagle- 1
iron wolf-1
giant drop- 5 times. :-)
viper- 3 times
demon-1
deja vu-1
swings-1
the car things- 1
also we stood on the bridge for the splashwater falls and stood there cause the line was too long and not worth it. we were soaking wet. i felt bad for the people going on the rides after us cause the seats were probably all wet. gross. so yeah. isabel and michael both got sick and josh felt like he was going to. i felt fine the whole day. um. we had lunch after the first couple of rides so we wouldnt feel sick.then we had water bottle fights the whole day to keep cool. and i ran into a billion and one things. lets see. i ran into a lady who worked at six flags, a wall coming out of the viper, some gate things before superman. it was a struggle the whole day. but it was sooo much fun. we talked about josh's friend phil like the whole day. well not really. isabel and i saw this key chain that said phil on it and we're like hey josh. phil ...phil. and he didnt hear us so for the next 15 minutes we tried telling him about the superman phil keychain. it was great. but he didnt hear us ....then we thought of phil for something else too. anyways. then michael, josh and i were waiting in line for deja vu and kristin called u s. her and i had a great conversation. it was great. josh got sunburned and his hair is like blonde. cause of his highlights from the sun. and we all got really weird suntan lines. anyways. kristin called. and we were talking to her. then she called back when we were on the way home. and yeah. they were struggling too. it was so funny. like all of josh's friends were talking at the same time. and just pretty funny.
"hey guys. look at the water slides. LOOOK AT THE WATERSLIDES!"
so yeha. um. it was a fun filled tiring day yesterdya. i had so much fun. and i loved it. i got to hang out with my favorite people minus minte. we rode on awesome rides. oh i love those people so much.

ok. ill write more some other time.

♥teia

lets see. im so bored right now. and school is going to start in just a few weeks. just hearing those words makes me want to cry. cause its like. this summer has been so much fun. even though we didnt do too much its just been a great summer. fulll of new things and new experiences. hm. cause first of all the whole best of broadway thing = awesome first time experience. it was just so much fun. and i met some really great people. it was really fun. lets see. i helped out with vbs at fil. that was fun. cause it was my first time being a leader. that was really fun and the kids. aww. they were so cute. and i helped out with vbs milwaukee. at st. martini's . that was a great time. the kids reallly loved it and so did the whole group. and then there were the things we did after the best of broadway practices running all over in josh's car. eating ice cream, singing at the top of our lungs, with all the windows down adn it was just the best. i couldnt think of a better month than the month of june. it wasjust really awesome. basically i figured out how not to be home...at all throughout the monthof june..then during the month of july. there was a lot of working. and goign to the beach. YAY. i love the beach. and going to michaels house for dinner and playing their really neat piano. or there was going to 3 different movies and just bumming around. still driving around in joshs car. singing. or there was hm..........josh sleepign over and playing burnout. and making koola. ok. aidan wants to get on....

ok. so this week isnt as bad as i thought it was going to be. although its a ton slower and more boring than the whole rest of the summer. ive been soo bored. theres nothing that exciting to do when there's noone to drive you around. :-) haha. so yeah. um. this week ive just been sitting around and working. i feel so lazy. except for ive been walking a lot. on monday isabel, michael, minte and i all walked to the grafton culvers. which when youre driving there it takes like three minutes and doesnt seem taht far at all. but when you walk. man. it took us over half an hour to get there. not even kidding. but we took the bike path. which was a little bit longer. but actually. safer. i got onion rings and a scoop of custard. yummmmmmmmm. so yeah. i worked off the onion rings and custard by walking back home. yseterday...um we walked to walgreens. also,yesterday i talked to joshuA. and i messaged him saying that michael, isabel and i have all decided taht we want to meet his friend kristin. so i checked back later. and she messaged me back. saying that we should meet and hang out next time shes up here. man i was laughing so hard. even if we never do actually hang out. itd be funny to meet her. she seems really nice. so yeah. then today i worked and put together the custard machine all by myself. yay me. :-) and i worked sandwich side. which was really cool. what else. hmm.uncle dreas is in town so i hung out with him. and have been talking to him. we went to the book sale today and got a few books. and movies for 8 dollars. i was quite excited. :-) i think ive walked like over 5 miles this week. which isnt that much but actually. it kinda is.....especially when i walk to and from work daily. then i walk to freakin grafton. and then to walgreens. man. i have no life. what would i have done without josh this summer? i have no idea. i wouldve sat at the computer and become fat and older....so yeah. im done with this. bye

"there's a peacock in the room"

man. this week. could be the best one of the summer. well i've already decided that this is the best summer of my life. and i dont know if there will ever be a better one. ever. this summer. it started out with us having a bonfire almost every week with just friends. well actually we figured out yesterday taht the first bonfire was isabel, kellen, me and josh. the day before mother's day. so we had a bonfire almost everyweek after that for about a month i guess. that day was amazing . we just hung out and talked about everything. we were up till like three in the mornign talking and watchign movies and stuff.
i just love hanging out with them. i think the best thing for you is to hang out with family and the people you love. well just with those four people its the best thing. they're funny and they make me laugh. they are the best. i cant really describe how much i love them all cause there are no words for it. when i hang out with them there is no doubt of anything in my mind.
ok. so this week. monday minte, michael, josh and i all hung out. we went to the beach and decided to hang out there. then we went to josh's apartment and watched bounty hunter...then dropped michael off.
tuesday. josh, isabel, kellen, minte and i went to go see harry potter. it was really good. minte and isabel were bouncing off the walls hyper. we blasted the music on the way there and on the way back at like 3 in the morning. we had tonsof pixy sticks and mountain dew.. yeah that stuff keep s you awake. the movie was really good by the way.
wednesday. i dont think there couldve been a better day. i got about 4 and a half hours of sleep because of the harry potter movie and then i had to get up early yesterday. then isabel decided to wake up josh at 930 in the mornign. he was not too happy about that. then at like 1030 we headed over to michaels. we stopped at pdq and got gas and i looked for pixy sticks and there WERE NO PIXY STICKS AT THE PDQ!!! what the heck. so i got fun dip. josh got new sunglasses. they were white. haha. then we drove to michaels and were talking to kristen and kelly. and then josh was like i know where we're going. so we went and were rocking out in josh's car on the highway and isabel, michael and i had no idea where we were going but we were dancing in the car. and this semi driver saw us and honked his horn and we were like YEAH! HI!! . then we saw him for passing us and we kept waving at each other. it was soo funn...
so we ended up going to the beach and the rocks and stuff. the day was beautiful. we hung out on the rocks and then went to this beach. well i dont know if it was a beach cause...yeah. so we skipped stones. or at least attempted too. i really suck at skipping. my high was like three. josh's was 8..i think. we walked to the beach beach and saw lindsey kobin. and talked to her. then we were starving so we were driving around. and stopped to take a group picture at a park. the lady that was taking them was soo funny. she was like ok. happy picture. and now a serious one. do something funny now guys. and she was using different angles...it was great. josh asked us if we had heard this song and we were like um. yeah its in how to lose a guy in 10 days. then we drove to mcdonalds. yeah. um. we walked in and isabel remembered something kirin told her..so she was like" TEIA! kiki was like 'does teia like josh?' and she was like 'NOOOO! they're really good friends.' 'oh..well it's not like they're blood-related or anything...' " i was like ewwwww. nothing against josh. but that's weird. yeah. im just gonna leave it at that. so i told them i only had 2 dollars in the car and josh was like 'ill pay for you ...it's like a date..' 'weird....um.no'... so yeah. we had mcdonalds then we drove to josh's apartment. watched part of bounty hunter again.and then hung out. almost fell asleep then drove to michaels. josh played the piano..he was making up music for any action that michael or anyone else did. so this kid fell of his bike and we saw it and all of a sudden theres like BOM BOM BOMMMM. ...dramatic music and he gets up and its all lifting and ...it was hilarious. and we ate dinner. yum it was good. then josh and i drove back to mom's house. on the way there we were talking. well actually mr. chatterbox was. :-D and he talked about a ton of stuff. it was really cool. we made brownies and watched camp.it was a good movie. in the dvd player though was how to lose a guy in 10 days. the movie josh was talking abou tearlier. it was really weird. so then we just hung out and i dotn think any day couldve been better. it was great.

so here's the song of the day...well yesterdday. cause half of the stuff actually happend.
table for two.
Danny and I spent another late night over pancakes,
Talkin' 'bout soccer
And how every man's just the same
We made speculation
On the who's and the when's of our futures
And how everyone's lonely
But still we just couldn't complain

And how we just hate being alone
Could I have missed my only chance
And now I'm just wasting my time
By looking around
But you know I know better
I'm not gonna worry 'bout nothing
Cause if the birds and the flowers survive
Then I'll make it okay
I'm given a chance and a rock
see which one breaks a window
See which one keeps me up all night and into the day

Because I'm so scared of being alone
That I forget what house I live in
But it's not my job to wait by the phone
For her to call

Well this day's been crazy
But everything's happened on schedule
from the rain and the cold
To the drink that I spilled on my shirt
'Cause You knew how You'd save me
before I fell dead in the garden
And You knew this day
long before You made me out of dirt

And You know the plans that You have for me
And You can't plan the end and not plan the means
And so I suppose I just need some peace
Just to get me to sleep.

so all the stuff in bold basically happened yesterday. i ♥ that song. ok guys. hope you have a great day.

♥ always,
teia

yeah. so............um. tomorrow well technically today. is the fourth of july. i just love the fourth. its soo much fun. first of all you wake up. early. well not really but in the summer it's early and you get dressed for a parade. then you see everyone and get candy. and its just fun. then you walk to the park and listen to music and partay. all day long. then you wait till night annd you watch fireworks. how great is that. i mean. all for celebrating the freedom of our country. ok that was my smart comment thing of the night....well ok. maybe not. the whole title of my blog is really what sums it up though.

anyways. im really missing practices right now. well in a way. i miss the people. they were all really great. and nice..but the being tired from practice. not really missing that.
so something exciting to tell you. oh yes. sometimes i talk in my sleep. i dont know why tahts so important but i guess i do. and minte and isabel make fun of me because of it. so what. jsut becuase i have too much to say during the day that i have to say it during the night does not mean you should make fun of me. :-P haha. oh well.
that was a secret of mine. great secret right?
wahts another one. hmmmmmmm. oh. i really dont know what i want to do for the rest of my life. although right now i really really want to make a cd cover of some sort. like if isabel or josh made a cd then i would do the cover for it. you know how awesome that would be? so if you're looking into recording a cd and need a totally awesome cover let me knwo cause that would be really cool if i could fool around with it........
the other day. yesterday i guess i made a summer goals list. yeah. one of the goals is to take 1000 pictures over the whole summer. i guess taht wont be too hard considering i probably already have about 500 maybe. yeah. actually easily i have 500. but thats one of the goals. another one is to do soemthing really spontaneous. no not really i just made taht up cause i cant think of anything else that i had on the list. so yeah. im gonna go to sleep and listen to some great music from "Josh's Mixerooni" ....and probably read and fall asleep while listening to the great music. ttyl

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

♥ teia
^that is sooooooooooo much funnnnnn. :-) haha

man. i really suck at the whole blog thing. i really thought i posted a ton more in the month of june and then i look back and it wasnt that many. there were only like two posts. stupid me. :-) anywho.........so yeah. i guess june couldnt have gotten any crazier for me. or my family. the second week of june i did FIL's vbs. it was a blast. all the kids were sooo cute. and really sweet. although i got the kids that were all over the place. good thing i knew what i was doing. otherwise some little 8th grader wouldve gotten stuck with them and probably wouldve started to cry. just kidding. they werent that bad. anyways. so....i had vbs and then nights practice for the Best of Broadway. on tuesdays, wednesdays and thursdays. it was soooo much fun. first of all the group was just a really good group. everyone got along really well together and they were all great. secondly, my dad and sap were in it. do i really have to go into detail? i will just a littl ebit. ok. so the first day. sap walks in and josh yells out.."ROGER! WE"RE NOT ALONE!!!!!!!" ....the producers. yeah. and sap just starts laughing the whole rest of the time sap and my dad were talking non stop in the back row thing. chit chat. :-) it was funny. then they were singing in weird voices. so those were my nights. lets see. third week i didnt do much except practice. and i found out that i got a job at out and out in downtown cedarburg. YAY. it was really cool. and i was excited. and really nervous. so i started on isabels birthday. which in a way sucked but then afterwards i still got to hang out with everyone. and EVERYONE was at her party. omi and grandpadu, deirdre, her kids, josh, noah, heidi, naomi, all of us. and i think thats aobut it. anyways. josh, isabel, kellen, brennick , minte, heidi, noah and naomi decided they were going to walk to starbucks and then walk over to my work and say hi to me. :-) well. that was interesting. i got off work like 5 minutes before and josh was walking around outside looking in all the windows. and then he walked up and said hi is teia there? and they were like um no...she just got off of work. so then he left. and the next day they were like hey teia this guy. i think it was your cousin or your brother stopped by looking for you. i just kinda laughed cause .....i was not going through the story of how josh is not my cousin or my brother but my uncle. it takes too long. :-) haha. anyways. so yeah. then strawberry fest. i didnt even walk downtown at all. it was quite upsetting ..i love walking down there jsut to look around. o h well.on the sunday allof us in BEST OF BROADWAY . went and performed some stuff in the bandshell. it was really fun. i waskinda nervous but i had a blast. lets see. on monday the 25th. isabel went to michaels and then he came to practice. he helped some people with whatever. otherwise i think he was pretty bored. then isabel, me and josh took him home. but first we decided we were going to stop for ice cream. and nothing was open so we ran into picknsave. and got a half gallon of ice cream and spoons. then we drove to joshs place so he could burn a cd. then we drove to michaels .and were listening to the music REALLY loud and singing obnoxiously loud. and were eating ice cream all at the same time. :) it was a blast. i dont think ive had so much fun. then the ice cream started to melt. and the box started to break. yeah. that was interesting. so we stopped and shoveled the ice cream in. and believe it or not : isabel, josh ,michael and i all finished that ice cream. yes you do. haha. it was great. thne we took some random pictures and finshed driving to michaels ...and we got stuck behind two cars that were going to race. yeah. that was different. but cool. and frightening. cause you're like dont get in a crash yet at the same time you're like YAY. this looks fun watching you do this. so yeah. then we dropped michael off and drove home. except the drive hoem was pretty funny. josh was running out of gas. and we were on a back road. so yeha. we had some good conversations about how we just passed about three tri-pars and one bp....but we still hadnt stopped. oh well . we made it to the tri-par. and it was like pitch black. it was great. anyways. then we practiced crazy. for the next few days for our performance. i didnt see mom for a week cause we got back home and she was sleeping. but during the practices i had a blast. and EVERYONE did such a great job. all the soloists were amazing . and those who didnt solo were great too. mary and josh did stuff from the phantom of the opera. OH MY GOSH! theywere amazing. and i didnt realize that she's as old as isabel. her voice is great. and what else. um.......CHRISTINE. ah. she was wonderful tooo. she doesnt think so but she was and i told her that like a billion times. hm. what else. oh yeah that was the same week that i had vbs at st. martini's in south milwaukee. that was interesting. it was a blast acutally . and i had tons of fun but by the end of the week i was pooped. throughout the rest of the week we had tons of fun and more adventures through picknsave and having a blast with josh. and isabel did a great solo. i dont think there couldve been a better one for her. she was great. plus it was sooo her. popular. yeah.. and she was leaping aroudn teh stage in high heels and a little dress and spinning i was laughing soo hard.
anyways. im glad that josh is home. its really fun. it used to be weird hanging out with him and stuff i guess probably cause he was a few years older but now its just awesome. cause we talk all the time and just get along great.

ok. well i really gotta go and get some actual stuff done.
:-) haha. ill probably eat and read. YUMMMMMMMMMM. and wake mint and isabel up........

have fun reading this incredibly long entry.

love you all
teia

teia

hey guys. sorry. ok. so. this week has been filled with every kind of emotion you can imagine.and man alive im being bombarded by talking to guys right now. i mean im like ahhhh. i cant see who im talking too. :-)

anyways. ok so on saturday. we went to libby's the restaurant where brad works. and i think we went swimming. i really dont remember.
then on sunday was mason's baptism. we went to church and saw a ton of people we haven't seen in forever. and we talked . and mason's little thing was cute. then we had brunch at brad's parents house. i took cheesecake with this raspberry sauce on top. yummmmmmmmm. it was good. then mom, isabel and i sat in the gazebo. and it was POURING raining. it was awesome. then ...we hung out at the house.
later that night i was laying there reading htis book ...being bored. and then i hear this slamming pounding on mom's door. and isabel's yelling "MOM! OPEN THE DOOR! MOM! I CAN"T GET IN YOUR ROOM! I GOTTA TELL YOU SOMETHING! SELAH HAD A SEIZURE AND I HAVE TO GO OVER TO DAD"S!" i got up and i looked at the clock ...grabbed my purse and im like i'm going to...so we slammed the door shut and ran.......we ran fast. first of alll cause we were scared out of our pants of what happened and secondly cause it was like 11 and past curfew...so we ran there ....and walkedin and deirdre, temish, brennick, elise, ethan, aidan and jen and dad were all walking around or sitting in the living room. elise ran right into isabel's arms. so dad and i went to the hospital. i didnt know what to expect or anything. i mean it's not everyday you get a call --or in my case hear my sister yelling--that your other sister had a seizure. anyways. we went to the hospital and we went into the room and poor baby selah. shes laying on the bed and really tired..just out of it. the whole like first hour i just wanted to cry...the poor girlie. then dad and kc and i were just talking to her and each other and just talking about random things. i dont know. i guess they didnt really matter and most of the things i dont even remember now but. at the time. anything to get our minds off of the little girl in the bed really did help. anyways. selah ended up going home that night...or more like early monday morning. and they didnt seem to find anything wrong. right now they just think it was a one time thing and that it might never happen again . but they wont know unless it would ever happen again. so selah went home and thank God that everything is ok. she went home and was biking and now is just acting normal.
elise is too. elise was right there when the whole thing happened. and poor baby. she didnt know what was going on obviously. and could you imagine? being 5 years old and seeing your sister on the bed foaming at the mouth and not really responding to your "tap tap taps" and calling her name? how scarY ? i dont think i'd be able to handle it now and im 11 years older than her. so that was sunday. then i went home after that and had a really heart wrenching cry. i know you all want to know taht but im just lettin you know how my week went. so yeah . the cry. i didnt even really feel like crying. like i was ok and it was just pouring out. by that time i knew that selah was ok ...i guess it was just cause it was building up and it had to come out. but yeha. so then i slept. great way to end the day right?

ok then i on monday. i slept for a long time. and then i woke up . went to dad's and hung out for a while. and then i found out my grandpa was in the hospital. he wasn't feeling good so they went in and right away he was admitted.
then uncle dreas, jill and adler came and said hi. it was really nice. then isabel and i went to panny's little ping pong party. it was a blast. let's see. aly, aaron, michael, isabel, me, casey, noah ,megan and craig were all there. we had a little ping pong tourney --the rev./shirley won 1st against nutmeg. casmir and te-te played for 3rd andyeah. i lost. :-( -- we had that ..and ate dinner and then talked. some people played darts. but i suck. so i didnt. then we went out to the bonfire and listened to some great music. :-) but it wasnt as great as the stuff in the basement. oh yeah. there was "karaoke" haha. not really but everyone was singing to the songs. that was FUN. so we tried eating marshmallows. :-) ...they were kinda all stuck together. haha. so we tried. then. hm. we just talked.it was fun. it might sound boring just reading about it. but if you were one of the people there i guess you could be reminiscing on the night and laugh at yourself because of something stupid you did. :- )
then piera picked me up and we went home and slept.

Don't i end all my days great? im like and then i slept. or and then we slept.

haha.
anywho.. tuesday. hm. man i cant believe taht was only yesterday. it feels like im in a time machine or soemthign and this all happened months ago. anyways. noah came over for a while and we all went to the park and then brennick and i went and got an application for a job. then mint and i went to the park and watched isabel and cnono play bball. it was great. then we talked and crap liek that. so then we ate din-din. YUM. dad made pizza. it was selah, elise, ethan, aidan, kellen, isabel, me, josh and noah all eating. YUM it was good. and funny too cause we had our entertainer --ethan and josh-- ..then i took some cute pics of josh and the kiddies. and talked to sarah on the phone-ular. haha. hm. what else. josh, isabel, mint and i talked in our room for a while. and it was quite fun. i was gonna tell josh about my exciting life but then he bailed on me cause erin called and was like "OMG! GUESS WHAT HAPPENED?!?!?" and then i had to respond "OMG! WHAT? WHO LIkeS WHO NOW?" josh started laughing and siad "ok girl talk. im leaving. " but he just went downstairs and watched the rest of space jam.

today. erin came over. we hugn out and it was fun. wow. today was a really long day. we hung out and had lunch and then went canoeing. yay. it was fun. and i had an interview at out and out todya. it was fun. um. what else. we had great picture taking time. and it wasfun but my brain really is tired. and erin i really did have a fun time. i just my fingers hurt too much. :-) haha.

hey everyone. so school is over. one more year down. so much has happened this year i just dont want to move on. cause i know that if i move on i'll forget what happened. or the feelings that i have right now. this feeling is so cool. im just having a really great time right now with all my friends and everything is pretty good. relationships are flourishing. and doing really great. im really just happy with the way things are right now. im so thankful for my great friends. and im gonna miss most of my classes. like new testament. ok so the class was a little boring at times but the people in the class were really great. craig, beth, casey, erin and everyone else really. but we had a little square of our desks and so we talked. craig-- "wink at someone driving past today." ;-) haha. and of course. the last new testament class was the best one of the year. we talked after our exam and it was just really fun.
also. im really gonna miss those seniors. they were a fun class. um what else. i can't believe that im a junior now. i have two more years of high school to go. and i've already decided that high school is definitely the best part of life. so far of course. ;-) high school is sooo much better than grade school. it's just soo much fun. sorry for those of you who really dont agree. thats just what i think.
the thing that's really weird is that in a few years im going to college. and i dont know where im going or what im gonna do. gr. i know that eventually ill think of something. or God will just show me. actually He's probably showing me right now and i'm just to blind to see it. its just that i dont know. hm.

ok lets' see. last friday a huge group of us went to POTC 3. it was really fun. oh yeah. let's see. it was me, isabel, mint, tedd, casey, noah, julie, aly and aaron. and we saw craig and megan there too. awww. they're so cute. :-) so yeah. the movie was good. and im glad taht now i have a social life. it's fun. :-)
on sunday we had this bonfire. a ton of people came to that too. well ok. maybe not a ton but it was a lot. michael, me, isabel, mint, brennick, casey, noah, kellen, and josh. yeah. so we just hung out around the fire for a few hours eating and just having fun. i think i use the word fun way too much. i think i've used it like 5000 times in this post. man alive. so yeah. but really we did have fun. anyways. bonfire. we just talked . and the guys--kellen, casey, noah and brennick-- played basketball for a while. but i guess it was kinda hard in the dark. :-) haha. so noah thought that casey's head was the ball for a while. :-) that's pretty funny guys.
then isabel , josh and i watched finding neverland. or at least attempted to watch it. it makes it kinda hard when someone is yelling in espanol. "DONDE ESTA MI MADRE?! DONDE ESTA MIS HERMANOS?! YO ESTOY MUY MUY TRISTE?!" over and over again. yeah. that's my insane sister for you. she blames it on the energy drinks and 7 sodas. i say. its perfectly normal for her.
so yeah. then what else. um. exams. yuck. world history wasn't that bad. even for the essays. i reallly studied hard for it. so hopefully i'll get an okay grade. but brit lit was definitely a beast. ugh. then last night after school erin came over and we made cakes. one for her mom and one for mine. it was really fun. they are chocolate. and mm. they looked good. oh yeah. ive been in the cooking mood lately . wednesday i was bored so i made a cheesecake and then put raspberries on top. yum. yum yum. yesterday was kellen's birthday and beth's birthday and kellen's graduation. so josh and i decorated the dining room. yeah. it really struggled. A LOT. ;-) then we went to the grad and it was nice. just another one. yay. i got some really good picture.s ...i've been taking a ton of pictures lately. not like it's really any different from any other time i take a ton of pictures but they are just so random. oh yeah. and then isabel, josh and i watched the pilot episode of Heroes cause isabel and i never saw it and we needed to introduce the show to josh for some fun. hm. so tonight it the high school grad at school. i can't believe it. choir is singing. our last time together. :-( so sad. so eyah. um. im kinda mad at mr. staub cause he didnt let us know yet who made it into acapella yet. gr. soyeha. i guess we're getting something in the mail. ok i should go. and get job applications. yay. fun for me. i need a job.

ok see you all later.

yo estoy muy muy bien.

♥ ...ooo . fun.

okk. so this is really sad. i've had this blog for about 2 years now. i think and i have 49 posts. thats really pathetic. hm. so yeah. hows it going for everyone ? i should be doing a billion other things but right now i decided to take yet another little break thing. ;-) so im fooling around on the computer.

this past weekend was really fun. and boring at the same time. on friday i babysat ethan and aidan..we read some books and hung out. then on saturday i cleaned my room and around for kellen's confirmation party. then isabel was bored so she invited noah and tedd over. ...when they finally came it ended up that noah, casey and tedd came. so that was cool .um. i babysat mason while mom and brad went to a wedding and while isabel and the guys went to some parks (ha. parks...good old parks..) and mickey d's. yay me. exciting life i lead ..right? ha. well. then they came back and heidi was with! i was pretty excited about that. it was fun ...the guys and heidi ended up staying for awhile and watching a movie. or at least attempting too. yeah. sometimes when isabel and heidi are together and dont want to watch a movie it makes it a little hard. :-) . i watched most of the movie. we ate some retarded jelly bellies...or 'belly flops' ...hm...what else. then the guys had to go and when we were waiting outside and it was FREEZING! i dont think it's legal to be that cold in the middle of may. i mean seriously. we went out there. and of course it probably wasn't the smartest idea that i was not wearing any shoes but yeah. i wasn't wearing shoes and i was in a tshirt. and so was everyone else. so we're sitting out there waiting for mr. kegley. and doing a cold dance. it was pretty great. hm. waht else. and once they left i slept. YAY ME! so then on sunday. hm. kellen's confirmation. and party. taht went well. there were a ton of people here. ted, gina and some of the kids; grandma and grandpa; omi and grandpadu; mint and brennick; josh; jen and dad; sap and his family; mipps and his friend; ken and carla; hm....piera and kevin and emilee for a while. and some other people. oh yeah burdey. ....so everyone was here and we ate tons of food. man there was a lot of food. TONS! ahh. ok. so this is a really great post i know. ;-)
oh yeah. i got really cool pictures from this weekend too. im gonna maybe put them on my site. or maybe just put some on the blog. ok well im gonna go finish up some homework and go to sleep. ill talk toyou all soon .

hey all my lovely readers........so last weekend i got to go on choir tour. it was quite fun..thursday we left right after lunch...when we left people we already sick and it was just not good.jenna lost her voice and couldn't talk at all...meagan was shivering ..she had a fever.. so we drove the 5 hours to cedar rapids..woop dee doo..actually it wasnt that bad...i sat towards the front...annette was in front of me...kristen was across the aisle and jenna was a few seats behind me. erin and beth wanted to sit in the back..and i was fine with that...cause i liked getting two seats to myself....and yeah. i listened to some pretty cool music. then we got to the church and we set everything up. one of my favorite feelings is when we go on tour..just knowing that youre in a different state with people you may never travel with again and knownig that you are going to sing your heart out. you are going to sing your heart out and youre doing it all for HIM...youre gonna do it all for HIM and spread HIS name everywhere you go.that's the point of tour. so thursday night was definitely our best night. we had quiet time downstairs and then went up stairs and just sang....witness is by far my most favorite song..... and that night the guys were so great...they were wonderful....the beginning the guys started out and just sang so quiet..then us ladies came in and we were all happy and stuff....then you get to the part about nicodemus.."christ told nicodemus as a friend...MAN YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN!" tom and ben and ethan were SOOOO great during that part..it was soo cool..i got goosebumps.. and we started singing the verse with samson....: you read about samson from his birth he was the strongest man that ever lived on earth...WAY BACK yonder in ancient times he killed ten thousand of the philistines...then old samson went a wandrin about ...samson's strength was never found out...TILL HIS WIFE SAT UPON HIS KNEE ...SHE SAID. tell me where your strength lies..(yeah) .if you please.....well old samsons wife she talked so fair..samson said..cut offa my hair. ...
so yeah..that song is amazing....i just love it. one of my favorite parts of that song is watching mr. staub's facial expressions..its soo funny cause he makes the best expressions for that song ..and i think that gets the rest of us more into it.
friday morning we sang at the elementary school for the church from the night before. also...nikki and cameron brought mrs. staub this thing that their host family made...it was this belly button brush..and it was really funny....their were tons of great stories from the night be fore and it was fun....the kids at the school really got into the songs..especially betelehemu and contad al senor...cause they had tons of instruments..and altogether they sounded really neat. they started imitating annette and ben during betelehemu like they were playing the drums on their knees..it was so cute. then we drove to CVLHS. it was a high school with only 33 students...our choir doubled their school+1..we got to the school really early so we
played games and their was shuffleboard...and erin was braiding everone's hair ...it was nice..for a while we actually got to take a break. and a ton of us played the never ending game of uno...it was staub,beth, cameron, carl, molly, aly, me and some other people all played a game of uno for EVER!!!!!!it was 40 minutes before anyone was out.! it was crazy....so yeah...then we had that concert..it wasnt too bad...saturday we went to teh mall..we got there around ten ....and jenna, annette, kristen, meagan, aly, tom,pat and timmy and i all walked to starbucks..that took forever...we were a little lost at first...but then we found our way around..we all got our coffee stufff...and then the guys and us girls split up....we went to 579, ragstock....where i bought a really cute shirt...um..where else..i dont even remember...we just ran all over the place..i bought some books from barnes and noble and also i bought soem shirts from the lovesac place...it was really neat..i got this really cute picture of tom and jenna during lunch...and us girls went to marshalls and we had some fun there...annette and i were trying on hats ..like big floofy easter hats from forever ago...when we left there we took a picture with this shark thing..tom and jenna and kristen and i all went to the nascar place and watched the cars "race" for a while. it was really neat and when mr. staub told me about it i was like yeah right...a nascar place..whatever. ok mr.staub........but actually it was really fun. after the mall we went to OCB! ..erin and i got to sit at a table all to ourselves..and we said that we were on a "date" but yeah...it was funn.we went to the hotel and went in the pool..and hottub and sauna...kristen and i went up and watched some of bruce almighty and i just hung out with tons of people that whole night. it was really exciting. on sunday morning we all got up bright and early to sing at the 8 service....it w as TOO early...the first service was not all that great. during the sermon we were falling asleep...but then during the 1030 service we redeemed ourselves and did a really great job. aunt heidi and uncle phil and the boys were there. they said they really enjoyed it and ended up talking to staub for a while. so then we travelled home sweet home. and did our home concert..that one was a little..ehhh...ok..it couldve been better but overall we all had a great time....and i was soooo tired...afterwards..
btw: jenna, annette,kristen, beth and erin and everyone else...: you guys made the choir tour the best. thanks soo much..i had a blast with you guys and without you well i probably wouldnt be in choir. you are the best friends ever! love you guys!
