Anothwe one! This one is from when I went to Israel last July! Its , left to right, Allyson, Me, Claire, and Sarah, standing in the Sea of Galilee!!! It was so beautiful and amazing to be there in God's land, with His people!

So here is a picture of Allyson (left), Me (middle), and Sarah (right) when they came to see me in Willy Wonka! Do you like my old lady make-up? :)

so maybe I should post once in awhile?

HAHA! So obviously I lied about the whole posting all the time thing, so I figured I should do it a few times before the end of the year! I guess I'll just tell you about the past few weeks? Sure, why not!

So here goes: Senior year has been crazy, fun, busy, and challenging! AP classes have been a handful....only because I've got senioritis really bad :) Anyway, our show closed a few weeks ago, Willy Wonka, it was a great show and I loved working on it! I was Grandma Josephine! We'll hear about our nominations for the Tommy Tune awards sometime in March I believe. Anyway, moving on, I'm really anxious to graduate and leave for college! Everyone keeps saying that "it'll all be over soon" but I don't care! I want it to be over now!! I'm so ready to go to prom, to graduate, to go to college, to get out of my crazy house! I mean, I love my family but HeLlO?! it's time to cut the cord! Just an fyi, I'm a history major next year, at Hardin-Simmons University!!! Well I guess thats it for now, this post was slightly pointless but whatever, now I feel like I actually did something today!

Ok, so I've officially decided that yes, I will blog, BUT only when I feel like it. So not nearly everyday, but close enough :)

Thoughts of August 1, 2009

So, why a blog? Why now? Well, really it's because I want to remember. Sure I could start a journal or something, but come on, really? It's 2009, let's be serious here. So rememberance is why.
I want to remember how I felt and what thoughts I had on specific days.
I want my senior year to be documented.
I want all my crazy high school ideas to be here when I need them.
I want to look back and remember.

So as I begin this journey, my journey, I want to say that today, right now at this very moment, I'm scared. Scared of the days to come, scared of being a senior, scared of what life has in store for me, scared of leaving home in a year, and scared......of admitting this to anyone. But I know that in time, all of these fears will be replaced with utter excitment and joy. As I sit here in my green and blue room, on my big bed, typing whatever comes to mind, I am reminded of Matthew 6:34 "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of it's own." The Word speaks. God speaks. He tells me not fear, not to worry, and just to trust Him. So I will.
I can't wait to see how the rest of this blogging experience, and how the rest of high school, will turn out. But I'm absolutley positive that it will blow me away.
