"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........

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!

so im kinda bored but kinda not. its one of those kinda days.
so yeah here's some lyrics for chris tomlin. i totally love them. they're really neat. ! :-)

The way I was made

Caught in the half-light, I'm caught alone
Waking up to the sunrise and the radio
Feels like I'm tied up, what's holding me?
Just praying today will be the day I go free

I want to live like there's no tomorrow I want to dance like no one's around I want to sing like nobody's listening
Before I lay my body down
I want to give like I have plenty
I want to love like I'm not afraid
I want to be the man I was meant to be
I want to be the way I was made

Made in Your likeness, made with Your hands
Made to discover who You are and who I am
All I've forgotten help me to find
All that You've promised let it be in my life

ok i have to go clean the room in case uncle dreas and jill come over..yay... :-D ..then maybe i'll get to finally play the piano!
