this week has gone by surprisingly fast. let's see monday i worked. tuesday i had school and then was at home with everyone. then today i went to school and came home. it's been pretty exciting as you can see. i'm overjoyed with the fantastic-ness of it all. :)
tomorrow we'll have like 20 minutes of class then we'll have the walk-a-thon. that should be pretty cool. we're going to walk around the school. then there are some volleyball tourneys and basketball ones too.
i'll probably then come home and hang out until lost. friday we'll have a half day of school. we'll have like 20 minutes of classes. then come home. hang out. get hair done by jen. :) then get make-up done. go to andy's with erin and get dressed. thennnn go to prom. we'll dance and dance and dance. then andy will take me and erin back to his house. some other people will come over. we'll hang out. it'll be a good time.

of course. anything could change within the next 2 days...so im never sure what to expect. ;)
i guess i should probably eat dinner and do something like laundry.
sorry for the over-usage of "." they just pop in there.

oooh. im going to listen to this cd by this guy i know. he's pretty cool.

wow. lots has happened since my last post. as always. ;)
that following weekend kristin came up from chicago. isabel, tracey, kristin and i went to mayfair mall and went prom dress shopping. isabel and i both found dresses. we were really excited. then that whole weekend we just hung out. it was really relaxing but fun because we got to see kristin and hang out. last week was long. i ended up being mad at people for no reason. i tend to overreact. so this is what happened. josh told me that we were going to take pictures for his cd early last week. and i was really excited. but then it kept getting pushed off. i was so angry because in a way i just wanted to get them out of the way and i didn't want it to be cloudy or rainy in the pictures. i wanted it to be perfect. but each day was perfect and i kept getting the phone call that it wasn't happening. finally thursday was the SET date. i was ecstatic. i was worried. i was nervous. i was happy, hyper, calm, collected and all the opposites. at the same time. i didn't know what to think. what was I going to do. i was going to see josh and take pictures. something i always do. i was going to do what i love for him...i was going to do this so that it could be a part of something that HE loves doing. i knew where i wanted some pictures. but i was just going to click click click and he would do his thing. what if they didn't turn out? what if something went wrong? what if.... there were the endless worries. but that's what i do best most times. so josh showed up during 8th hour and we said hi. then after school we went into the music room and he started playing and i started taking pictures. ones with reflections, hands, keys, face and emotion. listening to him sing. made me happy. i sang along. after there we went to the railroad track and took them there. i got over 100 pictures for sure. we got home and put them on my computer. and LOW AND BEHOLD. what happened. they all were mini pictures in one. 16 pictures in 1 4x6 picture. it made me so mad. but i couldn't be mad. so i laughed. i LAUGHED. hard. and long. and whenever i thought about it. i laughed some more. how could i do something so dumb and not realize it. i told dad and we tried fixing it....but more pictures would jsut have to be taken because those were not going to blow up and look nice. no they would be blown up and look crappy and pixelated. haha. so our PLAN B was for me to take off of school and then we would take pictures. thursday night we went to the ascension service at church. it was something we all needed. zoe was struggling last week and we all needed to sing. so we did. we sang like 2 songs but it was nice. after that we hung out. friday came along and it was cloudy. i was like ok. it's ok. it won't turn out like yesterday but it will still..oh i dont know. i was kinda upset. the "perfect" weather was going to have to be cloudy, foggy and muggy out. when josh got over and we stepped out the door it started to rain. of course. so i laughed. and laughed. then plan C.. take some pictures in the backyard. we took about 100 more pictures in the backyard.. they ended up NICE , really nice. nicer than i expected. we went to walmart and went shopping and then took more pictures at the railroad tracks. these were 10x better than the ones on thursday. the weather helped. God knew what He was doing once again. of course. i mean how could i doubt HIM? i did. but He knew what he was doing. josh and i were in love with the pictures. i didn't know how to process it so i laughed. i felt like an insane person but it was laughing or crying. laughing was easier and not as messy. ;)
saturday jen and i went to tracey's baby shower. then people from dad's work came over. it was a really nice time. i finally told josh late saturday night what was going on. i told him that i was mad at him at the beginning of the week. and that i needed him to be my friend. i don't know if i just don't show that i need someone or what. but i told him. i felt better. hahah. i told him how proud i was of his cd. i listened to it for the first time on saturday. it was calm, relaxing, and josh. it reminded me of being crazy insane with him and isabel and michael in summer. and i started to cry in the car. i missed it all. he's finally using his talents that God gave him. God gave me the opportunity to use mine with josh in away. i was able to take pictures for him and HIM.
yesterday aunt heidi and uncle phil came with the boys. deirdre, piera and temish came over for a while too. then i slept from 730 to 530. it was nice.

--he's using his talents.

ok here's a picture. one of my favorites. --->

here's a typical josh pic. :P (joshuA)--->



on that note. time for some sleep.
love you always.

this past weekend was a really good weekend. friday we watched a movie and just hung out. saturday we had a photographer come and take some really nice pictures of the family. she was really nice and had some really amazing shots. her camera was pretty cool too. i think i just might have to save up for a camera like that too. we'll see though. :)

so many cool things are happening all around us.
at school, the staubs, mr. aleithe and his wife, and mrs. ott and family will all be welcoming new members into their families pretty soon. i'm really excited cause as audra would say, "BABY!"

at work my boss and all the other employees gave me a card for everything going on. it was really sweet and brightened my day.

at home. we're all happy for our days with zo-zo. :) and excited for the warm weather. i'm looking forward to taking the canoe out on the lake soon and just being able to ride my bike around the middle of nowhere. this weekend kristin's coming up and we're going prom dress shopping with tracey and her. also, we've all been singing songs to the Enchanted soundtrack. we all really love that movie and laugh at all the little things that happen throughout the entire thing.

we're just letting God say things to us and through us. sometimes it takes some time. but we're trusting in Him.

time to eat dinner and make some gifts.

love

we're back.
after spending a nice day and a half in chicago. isabel and i are back on our home grounds in the WB.
it's pretty much been a bomb weekend.. like in a good way.
friday i got to be mr. g and miss yahr's gopher...so that was pretty neat. :)
and then we watched the importance of being earnest and slept over at deirdre's house.
saturday we got up.. ran around and got ready. then we headed to the windy city and got there before noon time. aussie, thomas, sam, minte, isabel, carl, kevin, piera and i all went to subway for lunch and then walked around in the rain. we went to old navy. and then to caribou coffee.after that we met up with kristin. isabel and i went with kristin and the rest of them went to hang out. we went to the store and bought food. then went home and made pizza and cupcakes. later her friends david, john and chad came over for dinner then we went to pippin. it was really great. the people were really funny and talented. kristin was a really talented violinist. :) after the play we went to kristins and saw lora. i was telling dad that kristins friends think we're insane. haha. but she just said.. "it's like you can totally tell you guys and josh are related..." it was really funny. so we ended up having a really fun time. and personally i cant wait to go back and maybe hang out for longer.

time for room cleaning.

with everything that's been going on lately. i've been trying to keep my head high as possible...in a good way. the "i'm staying strong and i can beat this and i'm still trusting" kind of way. today was just one of those days where my head didn't want to be up. i was awake and ready to go for the day. but it turned out to be a huge roller coaster of a ride day. right now my head's up and ready to rest up and take on a new day ..cause 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 ready. thank You God...
this weekend is bout to be boom chink.

God has something to say -to us and through us.

love you.
teia

i am blessed. i mean right now. i get to sit here at home..and have this little miracle just lay on my chest...and she's starting to get antsy.. :)

break time.

ok. well that break ended up being a little over a day...really it was unintentional. but i started staring at her. and i couldnt let go. then everything else happened. you dont realize how much can go on in one day...until it happens. and you don't realize how many feelings you can go through in one day...until you go through that day where everything happens.
last night isabel talked to mom. after the baby was born and found out that things weren't going too well. she had a boy and things weren't going too well. that's all that i found out. last time i heard something like that...well it wasn't too long ago and it was the zoe news. she had t-18. once i found out things weren't going well for mom's baby too i don't know what went through my head first. i think it was something along the lines of 'oh my goodness. please God not again.' and then of course there was the weeping to follow but that's not too important. i mean i'm so blessed and i needed to just pray. just pray.
just before when i was writing an email to jackie letting her know about zoe, isabel came in the room and was like...did you talk to mom? of course i told her no because i only got home from work at 10..so no i hadn't talked to mom and what's going on?
then she told me what mom told her. the baby was born and they ran the tests. they found out today that he has t-21 or more commonly known as down's syndrome. my first thought was what??? and the second was.. i thought they tested him for that before he was born.
i'm keeping my head up and putting my trust in the Lord knowing that everything will be alright with Him.

after all of this happened i realized something. i've wanted to change my blog somehow, whether it be the title or what i write. then i thought of what my title is: God has SOMETHING TO SAY- to us and through us. it couldn't be more perfect. i'm not going to change it. He is saying something through me and to me through these past few weeks especially.

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
It’s a new day

as i sit on the swing and think about
fairies and mermaids i realize that the
trees around me are listening and paying
attention to my thoughts. they
sway with the wind and bring the cool
breeze of tomorrow

before my own eyes i finally see Arthur pulling
out the sword from the stone and close by in
the sea the beautiful mermaids are silently
cheering him on. as the breeze picks up i close
my eyes and open them at the sound of
Harry yelling for Sirius to come back. as his
yelling ceases the breeze picks up yet again
and my eyes are forced shut.

when i open my eyes i am sitting in the swing
watching the trees move back and forth
with the wind. at that minute i know
the truth: fairy tales and legends come alive
each day.

that was something i wrote write at the beginning of this year. i was really bored over break and wanted to do something creative and this is what i came up with.

i was telling paul at work today that maybe i should change my blog a little and actually talk about things that i know a lot about. it's a hard thing though...cause i know some stuff but at the same time ..i dont know enough on some subjects. right now i'm a pro at color and some light stuff. we just had our physics competition today and that's what our booth was about. i also know some more stuff about trisomy 18 and diabetes now because of zoe and selah. maybe i need to expand my horizons and learn a little more. at the same time though, it's easier just to write. really i'm writing about nothing in particular just because right now i don't have anything important to say....except that i should be taking a shower, eating dinner and then cleaning...and sleep.
maybe i should write a poem about sleep...and how much i need it. because no sleep means that i get stressed and clearly...tired , faster. i guess i know stuff about music and photography but i don't know enough to become an expert in those groups. maybe ill see what i should become an expert on. ill look some stuff up and figure something out..something that's interesting-clearly! :)

ok. time to actually do the things i said i was going to do.
later gator
teia

this is the time in the night when i should either be :
a) studying for my U.S history test. and review ....
or
b) getting some sleep .

rightnow i prefer B just because ...im exhausted and tired. and i dont need to get sick right now. but its like this. i have too much too do and like whenever we get home for a few hours to do homework, computer time, cleaning. and everything else. yeah...im going to have to reschedule osme of my things...like computer time. because...its going to take over my life. so really i shouldnt be writing this due to the fact that i have too many other things to be doing.

ever since i found out about zoe all that runs through my head is Matthew West's CD ..Something to Say .
the saying i have for the blog heading is :
God has SOMETHING to SAY- to us and through us.

right now, during our time of happiness and sadness and every other emotion we're going through it's so easy to see how true this statement is.
Each and every day of little baby Zoe's life God's saying things to everyone around the world through her.He saying something through us who are affected by her. I dont' know.
At first when Matthew West's new cd came out i was thinking that the cd name was a good one and that the video put together was awesome. Throughout the whole video he was talking about how when he had voice surgery he knew God was saying something to him...and through him. even in a time when he couldnt speak a word.
God was still using him.
How true that is. God is saying things through me every day....but through Zoe people's lives all across the world are being touched..i think that's amazing. it just awes me every time i think about it.

on saturday i got to hold zoe for the first time. she is the tiniest little girl i've ever seen in my entire life. she's so cute and im so glad that i got to holdher.

i hope we can go see jen soon cause i miss her...and it's weird not having her around..yeah i miss her.

ok. i really want to write more...but im tired. and homework still awaits.
good night.
love
teia

its day 4 for zoe. she was born at 1:30 am on saturday morning. a little 5 lb. 3 oz. little girl.
she stopped breathing twice since she was born so until sunday morning they had a breathing tube in her to make sure that she did keep breathing. her heart was not as strong as the doctors predicted it to be and so they monitored that. also she was a little jaundice..so they put her under the lights and she's been under them since saturday afternoon i believe. the doctors did a lot of tests on her right after she was born to figure out if there was something causing her to stop breathing or look to find any other problems. the test results came back today...she was born with an extra chromosome and they tested like 200 cells and 150 out of the 200 cells had the extra chromosome. basically what that means is that she won't make it. 45% of the babies that are diagnosed with this syndrome don't make it past their first month. 70% of the babies don't make it past 6 months and another 70% dont make it past their 1st year. so right now....we're just praying to make it through. we know that once she goes she'll be in a better place but it's the little tiny girl that we've all wanted for the past however many years..and she's going to be with Jesus sooner than any of us thought it would happen. right now all isabel, kellen and i can think about it just holding her because even though she's 4 days old we still haven't held her yet. we dont know when that day is coming yet...
we just can't forget that He loves us. and it's all in His plan...
i dont have much else to say....maybe this is how He's using us...He'll say something to us and through us through this time in our lives.

waiting. it could be one of the most painful things in life. and it doesn't help when you're impatient like i am.
1) im stuck at home....and it's snowing.
2) this wouldn't be so bad...except for the fact that it is just me and kellen..and he's been playing computer games all day.
3) i thought i was going to watch the producers with josh and/or michael but have no word on what happened with them.
4) im "patiently" awaiting the call/email/some form of communication letting me know that things are moving along with zoe...but right now...waiting
5) it's 2 days before easter.....and SNOWING! geez louise. we're getting a whole lot of snow. and of course it's the year we DON'T go to FL. oh well
6) still waiting...and probably will be all day.


anyways. while i wait.
tour was AMAZING. despite the fact that many people were sick: i.e. throwing up, fainting.....etc. i took so many pictures and had tons of fun talking to mr. staub and timmy and abeni. and isabel. it was really fun. we went up over 12,000 feet to pike's peak. and then we stopped at the garden of the gods. the first day...on wednesday..it was 65 out! we were all really excited in our t-shirts and all. wednesday was a driving day...and listening to isabel talk for about 2 hours straight at 630 in the morning. yeah. i think mr. staub was just a little annoyed at her... hhaha. it's ok. then we played this cool game call imaginiff. it was mr. staub, abeni, me, timmy, isabel and mr. z...we all were laughing really hard at the different cards. then we had our first concert. it was our best one...and the one where we had all our choir members..
thursday was a driving day...we drove across NE and then to CO...it was soo pretty to finally see the mountains. you could tell we were tourists cause every person had a camera out and if the flashes were on....you would probably be blinded by the light. by thursday night we got to the hotel..and pat was sick. later inn the night we found out derek was also sick. so they shared a roomand their tour partner's were kicked out for the remainder of the evening. tom, jenna, timmy and i all watched most of the italian job..but mostly we ended up talking about a lot of stuff. it was a really nice time with them. then on friday morning we were all up and ready to go only to find out that our bus was not starting. :( we were all running around like chickens who've had their heads cut off. noone knew exactly what to do..but we finally got another bus with a new driver so that we could still go to pike's peak. before pike's peak we went to the garden of the gods. and even though we only had about 45 minutes to walk around we sure made use of those few minutes. it was soo beautiful.and it was snowing making all the pictures that were being taken even more beautiful. after our short walk we headed to pike's peak. i was really excited. we got on the train. and isabel, timmy, mr. staub, dana and meagan and i all sat in the booth by each other...it was really cool. we talked the whole way up and admired the view together. it was soo pretty . you could see for miles. and the clouds were low over the lower mountains. it was amazing. then we drove to the next church not too far from pike's peak. and when we got to our new church we saw our BUS! we were excited to see Dick-the driver..and our bus. we unloaded and got ready for our concert. before the concert. tom didnt really feel well so he sat out with derek and they hungout . when it was time for the chamber choir to sing pat started to faint. and actually did....freaking many -if not all-- our members out. mr. staub thankfully caught pat before he actually fell. then we all went to our host family's houses. ours was SOO sweet. i guess mrs. staub was in her daughter's wedding and the daughter was in the staub's wedding. so she was really nice. then the next day we drove to NE. and isabel got sick...oh yeah courtney got sick friday too. so on saturday night we sang without amanda wolf, michael, and nikki i think ...it was interesting. then my group stayed at a B&B. that was intersting....kinda gross actually.

finally on sunday we all went home...but not before...mat also got sick.
we were all very thankful to be home and well rested...FINALLY.

now we're just waiting for what happens next...while i wait some more..i think it's time to go shovel the snow. grrr.

after a long wait...my laptop got her last week saturday..man..it felt like forever...it was like 2 weeks..so yeah. im on that right now.. boomchink. :P

last weekend was grandpadu's birthday party. on friday, aunt renee, drew ,connor cale and brook all came.and drew and connor came to the dance. and alexis did too. it was really fun. the dj pretty much sucked. but it was still a good time. i wore a dress that kristin lent me and everyone LOVED it. i did too.. so eyah.then we came back home and some people watched dumb and dumberer..and aunt renee, alexis and i talked for like an hour or so...it was really nice. we were talking about really random things. then after that we did dishes and minte adn i stayed up till like 3 in the morning talking on the kitchen floor. we talked about school and whatever we thought of. on saturday we got up and went to st .paul's..that was where the party was going to be. so we got everything ready and then aunt tari and her family came, aunt charis and her kids, kiki and allana and caleb, aunt renee and the boys and deirdre and her people and then our family..we played in the youth room and played volleyball in the gym for awhile. then we sang happy birthday and ate lots of good food. by the time we got home all of us were exhausted. but allana, caleb and kiki came over for a little while and we played apples to apples. it was really funny. then we all slept...on sunday we went to church and i worked. so its been pretty busy this past week.

during the week i worked on the tour book. and even though i got kinda annoyed with it...mr.staub knows that i really enjoy doing it.
i was showing it to mr. gast today..and acted like a real nerd telling him about it. haha. i told him. hey. look at this picture...what i did was a inverted the picture because the hands in it were white. so i inverted it so the hands were black and the background was white....to use less ink!!! haha. he was like wow...ok. :) it was funny. then i talked to mr. staub. he's really nice and i really enjoy talking to him too. its weird because sometimes i think that him and mrs. staub remind me of josh and kristin. haha. probably not..but sometimes the way they act they do.

this coming wednesday the choir is off to CO..its going to be soo cool. i just cant even imagine it right now..i mean im goin to go up a freaking mountain. its going to be so cool. sure ill get sick of the bus real fast. but its going to be boom chink. we're going to the garden of the gods and pikes peak..and then we're coming home. we'll be gone for 5 days..but im taking my laptop..so ill probably do a journal thing or something. and then ill end up getting bored and sleep. and sleep some more. and talk to some people. and then ill sit next to timmy for comic relief..and itll be a good time. :) ok i really gotta go..im goin to call kristin soon YAY. i love that girl with my whole heart.

ok.

oh this past weekend. kristin was up for the weekend. and it was a great time. we had so much fun. on friday night the choir sang the national anthem at the varsity bball game. it sounded so neat. and so many people enjoyed it. Minte came over that night and we watched some friday night lights. love that show. aidan and i fell asleep on the couch and then minte slept on the couch too. and i kept kicking her cause i thought it was isabel..haha. and her feet were in my face. then i woke up and got ready for the day. then kristin called me and told me what was going on. josh was going to go to his record deal meeting in chicago and then we were going to hang out. so she finally got here and we jumped and screamed and were really excited to see each other. then we ate lunch and tried on dresses for turnabout. after that we decided we were going to go shopping. kristin told us her teaching papers got sent to sheboygan lutheran. so there could be a possibility that she would teach there. so we drove to sheboygan and got lost...haha. not my fault. i looked at the map.. and checked out the school. then went shopping at the mall up there. it was really fun. we went to kohl's and got baby clothes for zoe and then walked around the mall up there. haha. its' small. they had a bath and body works. and we got some lotion. the lady there was kinda following us around and asking us these questions whichwas fine. but then we were liek. ok. let's go get isabel's gift card and come back. we were talking to each other. and the lady was like. OK....see you guys soon. haha. it was slightly annoying. so when we were walking out kristin said.. what would happen if we didnt come back? haha. i love her. then we went to target....and got hair dye and make-up. really exciting. my birthday present from kristin was makeup..YAY. :) love it. and then she dyed my hair a brownish-red. it looks bomb.everyone loves it. then we drove home. and kristin talked to josh on the way home about his contract. as of right now...i've heard bits and pieces of it...but not really all of it. because he was sick of telling people by the time he got to me...so whatever. then i gave kristin her birthday present after we dyed mine and isabel's hair. it was the autographed picture of megan mullaly. YAY. then josh came over and we watched moulin rouge and ate some pizza. after moulin rouge we watched dumb and dumberer. i love moulin rouge by the by. :) kristin and i also made michael an awesome birthday cake for sunday...
sunday....we went to church and then people came over for michael's birthday thing...we sang for him. and gave him some cards. then we played scene it and talked. it was a really good time. we got some really great group pictures. i loved it. then we were goign to go bowling but the bowling alley was closed. so we went to starbuck's and were really loud. mhmmmm. josh and i kinda talked. but mostly. i was talking so that other people could have a secret conversation...great. then we dropped michael off at home. and drove home listening to disney music. once we got home we watched scrubs and ate more food. then they left. i miss kristin already..i dont know what im going to do. we'll see her at the end of march hopefully. but i guess we'll see about that. :(

i have so many things going through my head rightnow. i need to talk to so many people..but they're all doing things. GR. so im going to finally get off of the computer and go read. im getting tired. but hopefully ill get to get some more minutes on my phone so that this weekend when kristin has her birthday thing i can talk to them...


oh yeah..and i bought myself a macbook this past weekend! YAY..it's coming in the near future...ok.

off to read and hopefully talk to josh or kristin later...

so....yesterday was a like a blizzard...the whole city was like closed ...and people were spinning out and it was a mess. josh just told me that the snow was up to his knees at his house. :) and he had to shovel his car out. haha. dad says he does not remember the last time there was this much snow....in like an entire winter..and in one day. banks were closed and banks NEVER close. obviously there was no school. and they even closed dad's work. today there was a dumb 2 hour delay. i hate those..they seem so pointless. dad and jen both had to be somewhere so kellen and i stayed and watched the boys and mrs. pope picked kellen up and took him to school...it took jen over 2 hours to get to her dr. appointment this morning. i stayed here because noone else could watch the boys. also, i took a nap..haha. i dont know what it is but snow days make me really tired. yesterday i lasted i woke up at about 6 and then stayed up till about 1030...we watched some movies yesterday. and i was really mad at josh because he wouldnt go and drive out here...but it was probably for the best...i mean it wasnt very safe outside..so thats good that he made that choice. i was just really bored...so basically i was just thinking about myself the whole time. so dad and i went and got some movies.. i fell asleep during v for vendetta..ive already seen it..but i NEVER fall asleep during movies...that i can remember ive only fallen asleep during 2...in the past year. one was pocahontas..haha. and v for vendetta...i almost did during cloverfield..but i was in a theatre and that's cause i wasn't feeling to hot. so yeah...today i shoveled and took some pictures. im going to send an email to simeon and graham in a few minutes...also, i made the boys lunch and talked to minte. and tried to make something for a birthday gift...but it wasn't working. then i napped. ahha. im kinda retelling things..oh well.

then jen woke me up and ive been watching the boys and listening to music...aidan's falling asleep..which is nice..he's been saying he was tired since this morning. ;) hmm...
i talked to josh just a few minutes ago. and you know when you need to tell someone something..but you can't bring yourself to it. well that's the way that i am. i need to tell him some important things..but i can't. i dont know why. i just hate telling people things..important things. so...but we talked on the phone about pointless things which was nice because sometimes it's just nice just to talk and listen to people. im going to just have to call him later and tell him and stop being a wimp because im stupid..that's probably why i can't keep a stupid friendship. because i can't tell them the small important things...the things that sit in my head for days and weeks. i can't bring myself to tell them..i guess it comes down to being rejected or seomthing..which is dumb because i know that josh will be my friend either way.

today i got a lot of new music also....it was really nice. i got the new Idina Menzel cd..and some free songs off of itunes. :) yay. im pretty excited about that. ok. im going to put this sleeping boy down and go write on the other computer...because i wrote a story that i need to type up.

ill write more later.

♥ always,

post #80...woohoo.

it's only taken me about 2.5 years. but i'm finally at 80 posts! yay. :)

right now i'm not in school. no. i'm not skipping. it's a "cold day" . dumb. that's what i say. i mean i guess i'd rather be sitting around doing nothing than being in school and freezing my butt off. so today i woke up at 6 in the am. and then deirdre called and was like there's no school today...so i fell back asleep. best story ever right? haha. i know im great.

this is week number 2 for being at dad's. not much has been going on.

kristin has been on a cruise in the carribean --grrrr...she's tanning and im trying to get warm by sitting in every window with sun in it. also, kristin's coming back on saturday but i probably won't talk to her until sunday because im not sure when she's exactly getting back. today i'll probably call her and leave her a message.


josh came over for a few minutes on sunday and we talked and decided that we're going to have a LOST party tomorrow. more like watch LOST and eat lots of food. sounds like loads of fun iknow. then on monday we were over at the Pope's house and doin a little surprise thing for Mrs. Pope and i was looking at all of josh's music. holy crap. he has a lot. i mean...it's insane. but awesome. i really need an opportunity to take cool pictures of him because it's fun and i have a really cool idea.

erin hasnt really talked to me at all since my birthday. she's probably thinking that im not talking to her. but really the last thing i remember actually telling her was i was thinking about getting my hair cut really short. cause i'm really fed up with my hairright now. and sh'es like "oh...well good luck with that." and then i was like oh well thanks for your support...
later she was talking about getting her hair cut shorter....i was thinking seriously>!?!?!? so i said back to her..."well good luck with that." and jsut kinda ignored her. i mean. nvermind.

so this post has been sitting here waiting to be finished. and im talkin on the phone to my bestest friend in the world. joshua. ok we just figured out that we're headed out to lunch and then to hang out for a while. love you all and ill talk to you later.

yay for cold days.... :P

oh man. ive been on the computer for way too long this afternoon. ive just been updating stuff and making my blog look awesome...you know stuff like that.

anyways. so a lot has happened. selah was diagnosed with diabetes type 1 a few weeks ago and then we went to a class thing for that. for school we had our winterim class. that was a really fun time. i was in world religions with staub. he's a really great teacher and i learned so much. we sang at St. Paul's with choir and then i had erin over after that. we went and saw P.S. I Love You. It's a really cute movie. Kristin recommended it so we went and saw it...i LOVE it. :) then Josh picked us up and we went to dad's and hung out. we went and played in the snow and had some cake and just had a good time. then i hung out at NSAA a lot last week waiting for dad to pick me,ethan and aidan up from there to go home. on my birthday we went to the LDS church thing in WB with the world religions class. that was an experience..but i did get to eat out for my birthday. :) and i found out that isabel and michael broke up from erin and then josh later. i was mad. cause isabel was being stupid. anyways. after school we went to NSAA and hung out. we ate some ham sandwiches and pringles and watched the HSM practice. then dad picked us up and we came home. when jen and isabel got home we had cake and opened my presents. I got the new Matthew West cd!!! and the movie Amazing Grace and a necklace from Omi and GrandpaDu. i was soo psyched for the new cd. it was really cool. i put it on my iPod and fell asleep listening to it...because i was tired. not bored of the cd. :) this weekend I worked and then on sunday josh came over and we watched some of the Packer game. then we had to leave so we could get michael and go watch Cloverfield. we got to the movie and josh and michael were obnoxious. haha. actually they were just being fine.the movie was really good. i think we're going to go see it again because we're a little confused but in a good way..if that makes any sense. it was a good time. the best i've had in a while. so we watched the movie and stayed through the end of the credits and then we drove around just relaxing. it was a really nice time to just hang out and talk. and listen to the Defying Gravity remix that josh has! AHH it's amazing. and then we were singing New day to michael cause he needed to hear the words..haha. it was more like we were chanting to him. yesterday i hung out around home because we had a day off and i worked.
that was basically the quick catch up of my past couple of weeks...with some things left out of course. :D anyways. now i'm off to watch the boys and make this scarf for Nic because he wanted one.

"God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains; it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world." - C.S. Lewis

oh mw's new cd rocks. yay!

♥ teia

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

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.

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.

"w.t.p." :-P

"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........
