so here's the sad thing. i've been trying to write this blog entry since monday night. it's now wednesday. and i still have it up saying "write me! write me" because i neglect to sign out and have this paragraph about the past week up.. so im finishing it ...finally. :)
mother's day was a week ago. we went to mom's and hung out. then we went bowling.
then last week was kind of a blur. on friday was jen's birthday. we had our choir concert practice after school then i went to prince caspian with a bunch of people. i really liked it. i liked how it was close to the book. we all hung out at andy's before the movie and then i came home and hung out with minte before i fell asleep. saturday it was 70-something out so i wore some shorts and minte and i went outside with the little kids. we took some pictures and put our feet in the water and just sat on the dock. it was really nice and relaxing. then minte isabel and i took the canoe out on the lake. it was pretty windy out..
we had our spring concert on saturday. it was interesting. i mean i was pretty psyched to go to the concert because we were doing songs from movies or t.v. shows. i really wanted to hear the band play the LOTR theme just because i had heard parts of it during 1st hour but i wanted to hear the whole thing. they did not do a bad job.
the choir sang fly me to the moon, some songs from choir tour and some other random songs. we didn't really get to sing any real special movie songs. well, we did sing hymn to the fallen and that was pretty neat. you could only hear the band though which really stunk but we had a fun time anyways. after all of our concerts we go and find a place with just the music people. we go and sing the doxology. it is one of the coolest things that our choir does. some people choose to sing harmony but most just sing the melody and even though some people are loud and some people are quiet...some are not the best and then there are those who you'd never imagine having those wonderful voices. we sing as our closing to ourselves. it's amazing. i can't explain it but anyways. we all gathered outside to sing the doxology and then of course mr. staub was "lost" so i went to go find him. in the time it took me to look for him, he was outside and they sang the doxology...without me. i was so mad. it was my favorite part of the concert. and then i told jenna and she was crying because it was her last concert. and she's my choir buddy. im going to miss not having her in choir next year. i dont know what ill do really. so that was saturday.
sunday we hung out. i worked and we went to church.
monday was school and work.
tuesday we started best of broadway. i was excited to start it but i can't believe that it's already been a year since last year's performance. im pretty ready for this year. so june is going to be crazy with work and best of broadway.
today i had work. the rest of the week i'm looking at more best of broadway. work. and work. and the possibility of kristin being up here for memorial day weekend. i need to study study study for exams next week. it's going to be insane because by the end of next week and graduation..i'm going to be a SENIOR! what?!?! ok. technically i won't be a senior till school starts again but whatever. close enough right?
anyways right now i really have to be studying my reviews and taking crap off my computer so i can get some new programs on it and stuff like that.
ill write more after this weekend.
bye.

hey. so this past week has been pretty insane.
thursday we had the walkathon and walked 5 miles. then some people decided to tailgate outside. then we had some games and stuff going on at school. then we went to the girls' soccer game at CUW. it was pretty cool.
yesterday was insane. we had school till noon then isabel and i stayed at school to watch baby meredith!! she's soo cute. we both held her for a while and were very excited to see her. she slept the whole time. ;) we're just too good i guess. then the staub's took us home and mrs. staub saw the dresses. she loved them. and then she took a peek at zo. so we got home around 330 and jen got home around the same time. i ran around like an insane person calling people and grabbing things and throwing them in a duffle bag. then jen did my hair. and mr. pope drove me to meet erin at walgreen's to go to andy's. we drove to andy's got dressed and put makeup on. it was a struggle. she was laughing so hard that she kept almost poking herself in the eye with her eyeliner. she loved my dress!yay. :)
we took pictures with some other people. then we drove to the ball.
it was a fun night with lots of dancing, drama and friends. of course. erin and i went to andy's with the guys and ariel. we watched part of hitch and then came home.
kristin and i kinda played phone tag all day and into the night and early hours of the morning. by 3 when she called me. we think she just called to say that she'd talk to me tomorrow morning and night. but we're not sure cause i was sleeping and talking to her...and kristin was kristin. :P
ok here are some pics of the past week.traceys babies' shower, :) prom, etc..

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
