Danica

So awhile back Alyssa had pointed out that Danica and I look really good in pictures together. and i have to say (without sounding like im bragging) but we really do! ha. so this post is to you Danica Ryan. Here are all of our amazing pictures together! (: I love you. You are a great Friend, encourager, teacher, musician, and an amazing listener! (:

It's been awhile

I am home babysitting my little brother. ): I have to skip church, and painting at hops, and his suprise party thing tomorrow for babysitting. I'm kinda bummed out, but it will be okay. I get to also not go to my 2nd period and 6th period or my zero period for the next week. (: I love not going to school and sleeping in.

HUGE NEWS! Jusy and Kare...they are dating. I know everybody knows about it, but it seriously gets me so excited and happy for them, that I find myself always bringing it up..i Have no shame. Sometimes I'll be sitting in class, and I'll think, Justy and kare are finally dating, and soon a HUGE smile appears. I am SO HAPPY! They deserve to be happy. It feels like this has been coming for FOREVER! Oh and Emily and Bo are dating as well. Thats exciting. I really like Bo, he is such a great guy. And Emily is super happy. (: All my friends are so happy! It gets me excited.

So I've been thinking a little bit this week, and i've come to a conclusion that some things I want to fix about myself. I find that sometimes I want to know what is going on with everybody, but sometimes it comes to being about the wrong thing. So this week I started to write "nosy" on my wrist, and when ever I feel like I want to know something I look at my wrist and remember my check list which is, 1. Is this something that I NEED to know. 2. Did I need to ask more than once for the other person to be wanting to tell me 3. WHY do I want to know this information, is it cause i am worried or want to help, or just becasue I just want to know. It's really been helping. I find that when I ask myself these questions by the end of my check list, it is something that just sounds dumb for even wanting to know. I am learning to be more patient with people. I like this. But at the same time, I like doing it for me. I didn't change because of anything that happend. I thought it over. I just feel that I am starting to control ME, and trusting in God with all the rest.(:

Well I have to put my baby brother to bed. night everyone.

Sorry!

Sorry guys, I haven't updated in a reallllly long time! Its just cause this spring break has been the BEST ever! Today is the first day that I have been home to update. My FAVORITE day outta spring break was defiantly Tuesday! Kare Justy and I all went down to Santa Cruz, and we had the FUNNEST time ever! Lets start at the beginning and ill walk you through our trip...

We first went to Los Banos and we ate at the same restaurant that Alyssa, Brandy, and I ate at when we went to Hollister. Then after that we stopped cause justy had to use the restroom, and the bathrooms were closed so he PEED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD!!! hahah! Then we were on the road, we got to Santa Cruz and went straight for the boardwalk. it was so great! I love it! we went to the beach where i made justy and kare take a "romantic" pose! haha. Then we went back to the boardwalk and Kare and I got tattoos (not real ones!) mine meant special! and Kare's meant laugh! haha. We thought we were so cool! After this Kare got a ticket on her car! ): But then we went to Capitola and got Pizza my heart and ate on the beach. it was beautiful but very very cold! Then we walked around and then came home. i had the best time ever! kare and i were talking about how grown up we felt after, we did it by ourselves. No help from anyone. It was nice. This has by far been the best spring break!

here are some pictures!!

Well hello, I woke up this morning and remebered that I haven't updated everyday like i said i was going to. Soooo this is me updating. (:

Lets see, today I am going to go up to Hume lake with Hopper, Megan, Liz and Chels. I hope it will be fun. I enjoy doing stuff like this, just usually there is someone there that i feel really comfortable with, im kinda bummed Danica isn't going. ):

Speaking of Danica, please everybody look at this picture! It is sooo cute!

So yesterday at Encounter we had been asked, "what is the abundant life? and do you have it?" And it was so funny that they asked this, because this weekend i had really been struggling with letting go my problems, and letting God take care of me. And I did. And the second i trusted him COMPLETELY with my own insecurities, and problems he started working away at them, and by last night everything had been worked out. IT WAS AMAZING! so when they asked this, I completly knew what they were talking about.

Its funny to me that sometimes I get stuck in my own way, that I want to control everything and fix it myself, I have to stop myself and let Him take over, and how much better i feel about situations when I let God take over. It is just a great feeling to know that God has a plan in my life, through the bad times and the good, he will provide and take care of me.

Alyssa had said something about how my past struggles that I thought were really hard to over come, how they aren't even that much of a temptation to me. And it is so true. I feel so much more free from my past. Its a great feeling. (:
