1.31.10

Dear Blogger,

Happy Sunday (: I love Sunday's, church pretty much all day! I woke up nice and early with enough time to get ready (with an actual pressurized shower...) and have some spiritual and physical food, both were absolutely delectable I might add.

Church was good, after playing in the orchestra I headed back to play piano for the Kids Klub. I LOVE playing for those kids...it's so fun, and I just feel like...I feel like I owe it to those kids to have a good Kids Klub, a good environment for them to hear about Jesus.

The message was again, about hoping through depression...which are great...after the 1st message...after the 5th one...it gets a little repetitive.

So I came home and worked on school...and SHOOT. I have...crap. I have school yet to do...that I have to get done before midnight tonight...*SIGH* I'll make this short.

Actually I'm stopping this right now.

1. Look up Ron Pope. I got introduced to him today and he's amazing.

2. Friends leave, don't get TOO attached...

3. TRY. Really, it's not that hard to TRY to be like Jesus. He can help you with that. Just ask...go ahead. Right now, ask to be like Him, ask Him to mold you. I do it every day.

Most annoyed...Mandy

1.30.10

Dear Blogger,

So today! It was amazing, a very blessed devos this morning and then I worshiped our Creator on the piano...I love the piano. My favorite instrument by far.

Breakfast was interesting, I sat with a table I hadn't sat with before, of course. And all the guys were a bit...let's just say...boys. One of them was explaining the nights antics with jumping into showers with other boys...and us girls knew something had gone on with some of them because at 3am that morning apparently a girl was in the bathroom and there was a shower running. She waited to see who would come out of it, it was a guy...clothed in a hoodie and jeans I might add. There was also a pair of boxers in our yard this morning...yeah, I don't

think I want to know.

Something I've noticed, adults seem to be like...magnetized toward me...I don't get it. I'll be talking to a group of teens and then out of the blue I find myself talking for the adult most of the time. Why? One of the many unanswered questions of life I suppose.

We had some fun competitions at the activity center where I totally owned in rockwall climbing...just saying...

And yeah.

That's about it, because I don't feel like going into super detail.

Oh, and I have a facebook again, thanks to a Mr. Adam Preim...ium. gasoline. (Sorry, I know I know, I had to do it.)

Departure was such sweet sorrow, and this guy Mikey

who I had hung out with all weekend ever so nervously asked for my number, it was kind of funny...he hasn't texted or called yet...haha.

Oh and by the way. I learned that I am extremely prideful, and for that I most certainly apologize. I never really realized the way I am until I actually LOOK at myself and what I say. You see there were a few incidences that really helped me out with this. One time was with this girl in our cabin, she wasn't exactly considered the "coolest" girl or the "prettiest" girl but she was sweet...and a little on the quiet side. She had forgotten her pajama pants and was sleeping and wearing the same pair of jeans for the whole week without uttering a complaint even once. I had brought an extra pair of sweat pants. I debated on letting her borrow them for a whole 5 minutes, it pains me to know I took that long considering it! I let her borrow them of course, but just the fact that I was reluctant in the first place? Guilt just consumed

me.

Another time was with this guy from the church I went with. He had never really talked to me, and I never understood why, actually he was kind of a jerk to me the last time I had saw him. I was willing to give him another chance of course, and tried talking to him. He just did one of those numbers where he looked at me...mumbled something and walked away without a smile. This really intrigued me about him for some reason and I kind of creeped on him, well not really...I just observed him to see if he did that to anyone else. The fact was he only did it to certain peo

ple. I talked to Carlos about it a little bit because he was in the same cabin as him and they were friends. Carlos just said that this guy just assumed that every girl liked him and was a ladies man. I was confused by this because usually if a guy is a ladies man (and DOESN'T have a girlfriend...HE DOES.) that he would be flirting or something of that nature, or at least smile when someone talks to him! That's when he said "Hey Amanda, you see...*insert name of guy here* thinks he's better than most people, so much better that he wouldn't give you the time of day because you're not pretty enough, he goes for hott girls, not average girls, even as just friends." I was a little taken aback by this at first, Carlos just called me average...thanks a lot. However, English is his second language...but....I'm glad he did. This really helped me realize what I do to other people all the time. I take one look at them, and decide if they're worth my time or not. It's wrong, and I don't want to be like that guy.

Actually an example of this was when I sat at that guy, Mike,'s table. It was the table in the far back and all the guys kind of looked....a little socially awkward. My first assumption was that there was no reason to go there because they will all just stare at me weirdly and I'll be creeped out. What Would Jesus Do. Thinking of that phrase, I sat down and made conversation. They turned out to be some of the coolest kids there, and I'm glad I did what I did.

Well, I'm done droning on so I hope you enjoyed this little rant.

Exhaustingly, Mandy

1.29.10

Dear Blogger,

As you know, I'm writing this on the 30th not the 29th as I am deceitfully labeling it because I wasn't here! Now I must recolect everything...wow so much happened. Here goes...

Well on the 28th in the evening time we arrived and threw everything into our cabins, I got the bunk I always get, whatevers closest to the door so I can get out in the morning fast to take a shower...and stay far enough anyway from just a few very LOUD girls.

We had some fun mixers...like where we all had to hold hands and maneuver a hula hoop around a chain of people I was holding hands with this guy named Carlos...

"This is the first time I've ever held a girls hand." Carlos looked past me, nervously twiddling his fingers. "Besides my sisters."

I just kind of stared at him...and laughed in the inside. "Well there's a first for everything!" I said, pulling my hand away.

So yeah we had some interesting times.

That night the activity was Sardines. However, it was about 10 degrees out with a huge wind chill and there were over 200 kids. It was horrible. I tried to make the best of it, but just ended up sitting inside the rest of the time playing the piano.

That night we went to our cabins, had a devotion, and I tried my best not to snap at the girls that talked continually about everything on this danged earth while others tried to sleep...I really need to work on my patience.

1.29.10

Day two...ish.

So I woke up and did my devo's in chapel, and I found a quarter. (I gained 91 cents this week actually from things of this nature...) Devos were amazing (: I love camp. I LOVE JESUS! So we had breakfast and I tried to sit with a different table almost every meal. Funny thing was though, only two tables the whole time had one other girl at it. So evoking the "Ladies First" rule always went over well and I got food first :D

That's when he had some wonderful cabin devotion time and the headed off to the activity center. This is where we turned off all the lights and the strobe and black lights kicked on. I was a chaser and pretty much was supposed to steal peoples flags in the dark whilst they collected magnets. However, I had more fun just using the strobe light to sneak up on people and then freak them out when it flashed...ahh so fun. WE played a few other games, had chapel, and then there was a talent show! Everyone auditioned from a guy who would kick himself in the head, to a boys band that used kitchen utensils to make music. It was all pretty incredible. I made up a song about the camp and put it to the tune How To Save a Life - The Fray...it was pretty fun.

We had some free time where I pulled out some card tricks...hahaha SO MUCH FUN. I love doing card tricks on people that have no idea how card tricks are done, the effect is so much cooler.

We played some outdoor games and some indoor games that involved eating weird things...all in all it was a fun time. That night was so hard to get to sleep because one of the girls in my cabin has quite the imagination, I love her, but I was TIRED.

Wanting to go to bed but can't because she has to finish these blogs...Mandy

P.S. Yes, I'm aware of the grossness of the picture, we were all getting ready for bed...

1.28.10

Dear Blogger,

Today I'm going to winter camp! I usually have a blast going, and I usually have either a friend or an outgoing brother to go with me. But this weekend...I'm going alone. By myself. No one there to help me socially ha.

My friend asked me today why I was going then, if I don't know anyone and this whole camp is SO clique oriented, how will I ever make friends? Well...

1. The most prominent part of me going to this camp is to grow spiritually. The past three years I have gone I have dealt with things in my heart that had been hindering me from walking with my Saviour. Everything just melts away and I'm able to just communicate intimately with HIM. It's the most amazing experience, and honestly, going without a friend encourages this.
2. I can be whoever I want to be. Well, of course I'm going to be myself. But why can't I be a little more outgoing? Those of you who know me pretty much all assume that I'm outgoing quite enough, but I'm not exactly the bravest when it comes to talking to people. As I said Tuesday, I tend to lift other people higher than myself and compare myself to them, instead of Jesus. This needs to be fixed, everyone is on the same level.
3. It's fun. Simple as that. Once you get over the fear of making new friends you have an amazing time. Seriously, it's so much fun.
4. I'm kind of holding this to an experiment. I'm going to try writing down the names of the people I meet and how they interact and socialize with me when they hardly know me. I kind of feel like a scientist...d:

Alright so since I'm not going to be here all day tomorrow, I can't post a chapter!! AHHH!

Ha. I'm sure you guys will survive. I'll write down all the days happenings in a notebook and rewrite it here when I get home Saturday.

Well, I'm off. No cell phone, no internet. Just me, God, His people, and blessings (:

Very nervously, Mandy

1.27.10

Dear Blogger,

IF YOUR NAME IS BRIDGET CLICK THIS IT SHALL TAKE YOU TO A VIDEO FOR YOU :D

Okay, I'm done yelling now.

So HI! How are you? Oh my word I'm wonderful! Thanks for asking...so today was jolly fun. I went to violin and had a GOOD LESSON. Believe that or not. It was good! Then we drove to the restaurant I had picked up an application for and dropped it off...the lady remembered me :D Good sign! (I parked pretty darn good too...I'm gettin good...haha)

Then I headed back home where I was kind of bored...so I made that video^ up there. And then headed to church! Quite...not so exciting? Well church is always enjoyable (: So we went door-to-door which pretty much froze my fingers and toes off but we spread the word! Woohoo. Then we headed to Subway where I said hi to Rob. Rob is pretty much the guy who is always working there when we go every week, and for the longest time he was on tour. We missed him. Haha I just find it fun to talk to him!

We headed back to church where we consumed food and hung out playing the piano then church started and we watched teenagers stuff their faces into bowls of chocolate syrup trying to retrieve gummy worms. Good times...

This is really hard to write when you're skyping. Apparently it sounds like hail coming from the other end ha! HAIL HAIL HAIL. dush dush. (sounds of hail)

So farewell until another day!

Hugs

Love

Praising Jesus, Mandy

1.26.10

Dear Blogger,

Why hello. Greetings and salutations! Howdy.

Today I slept in again...I really cannot wake up on time anymore :/ I think it's because of the sun, it doesn't like to greet me in the morning...which makes me sad. See the sadness? Yup. Sad.

Oh by the way, like the bangs? Yeah I haven't had my hair like this in a while...and they don't seem to cooperate. Oh Landon. Yes...I named my hair Landon, I know....strange. But it's the only way I can yell at it.

So after school today I cleaned! And cleaned a lot, and then I went to work. Which was really quick, I was only there for 2.5 hours, it didn't take me too long to do all the chores. Which made me happy. See the happiness? Yup. Happy. Then I scurried home with just enough time to eat, get cleaned up and head out to the Golden's church again! It was amazing, we worshipped and then watched a video and it really made me realize that I compare myself to other people too often, whether I think I'm better than them, or less than them...I should be comparing myself to Jesus. ONLY Jesus. I am His masterpiece...I want Him to mold me.

After quite the lovely chat with my good friend Brianna and some prayer with our Most High, we played some ninja! Quite fun.

Now tonight I talked to a couple Andrew's and I'm headed to bed.

Talk to you tomorrow (:

Humbled before the Uncreated One, Mandy

P.S. So I forgot to add this...when we were leaving the Golden's church I started the car and noticed that a friend from bible study, Johnny, was getting into his car beside me. He's quite the vertically challenged 19 year old and he was teasing me about my driving as he slowly got in his car. I pulled away before he was fully in the door and I felt a THUMP-UMP. My eyes got all wide and I yelled, "I RAN OVER JOHNNY!!!" Luckily Johnny was safely in his car and driving away, we circled back to the spot and noticed my mom's bible laying on the ground (she was complaining earlier that she was disappointed she had left it at home). We picked up the good Word and she ended up thanking me, for without running it over, she would have never knew she dropped it.

1.25.10

Dear Blogger,
So um...pretty much I'm writing this at noon and not at the end of the day because my house is out of power! *cheers* -_- So that's why this picture is in Giant.
Well I'll write what's gone on today and I might edit this post later with more information of the festivities tonight!
So this morning was weird...see I woke up to the sound of my phone going off. I had turned my phone off the night before....why did it turn on!? It was freaking me out. Then some strange beep kept going off every minute and I had no idea where it was...or what it was. I recorded the sound on my phone just in case it was aliens...I would be famous. Well I finally got some more sleep and wondered why my alarm clock didn't go off. Mom finally came in and told me that the power was gone. Joy.
So we headed out to breakfast, looking gross as you can see. Then we stopped by a restaurant where I could pick up an application. And now I'm here. Waiting...oh yeah, I went to the doctors too. Apparently I have a lot of chest muscle spasms, looks like I can't laugh too hard or it starts to hurt haha...strange...I guess I am destined to be sad.
Alright well I'm signing off for now, but I still want to write about tonight at the Golden's church!

Un-showered and smelly, Mandy

Continuing...9:52PM

Why hello! Well to finish out my day, I got my hair cut! I have bangs now...that are like...1960s bangs...heh. And then I biked to Brannigan's house! Where we played rockband and I was accused of being Dillon over Xbox. Heh. (by the way our power did come back on...)

Then I went to the Golden's church! Bunches of fun with Andy and Matt d:

P.S. I replied to that certain boy...with the certain letter...with a certain answer...that will remain a mystery...to you....unless you know...the answer....haha (;

1.24.10

Dear Blogger,

(My eye is doing that thing again...and I'm not even smiling!!!)

Well hello! So I woke up this morning feeling HORRIBLE because of what i did yesterday. Which I can now go into detail with because I felt so guilty I called my mom and fessed up (who was in another state at the time) and she's deciding my punishment. *Sigh* Oh well, at least I'm guilt free! (:

Pretty much yesterday I drove around with Julio, his chihuahua tried to eat me, he claims I sacrifice lambs, and he has a sick awesome recording station in his house. Also, I brought him to my house and made him lunch and let my doggies out of their room. Then we headed back to KelLee's where we got ready and went to the coffee house where I PLAYED. AH. I KNOW. I was shaking, but then again....I already told you that part. so THE END! That was yesterday. :D

Today!

I went to church this morning and played music for the kids club which was a lot of fun! I was adding a lot of background music for the things going on, it was really cool. The message was Hoping in God: RESULTS = JOY! PEACE! PRAISE! Pretty much all awesome things. So I'm pretty much hoping and trusting in Jesus all the time (: Or trying too at least.

Then we went home where I felt like a little housewife and cooked up a meal for Kristen, Jake and Sung. We all sat down like a little family and ate (ha..) and then I cleaned up the kitchen and then dealt with photos for the rest of the day.

We all went back to church where I sang in a trio and then was in the nursery all evening with Courtney! Which was pretty much a lot of fun, she's cool and I don't know why I haven't talked to her before. We made a list of pros/cons for the two guys she likes so she could pick one. It was fun!

Then I made the children cry with a ghost story...I'm such a great babysitter...

Oh, and then we had tacos.

I got some "cinnamon air" for 10 cents :D <---highlight!

It kind of made my day.

(:

Taco-d out, Mandy

P.S. I tried the life of shenanigans and hooliganism out...and failed. I'm destined to forever be...a goody-two-shoes.

1.23.10

Dear Blogger,

Notice how everyone has quirks when they smile? Mine is that my left eye squints shut tighter...it's really annoying to look at in pictures. BAH.

Alright so today started out like any average day when I remembered my friends coffee house was tonight at her church! (Open mic!) So I called her up and headed over to her house....

I ended up singing at the coffee house O_O It's insane...like I was shaking out of my shoes. I'll be sure to post the video link on here when it gets up and you can see the fail haha

Either way I had an amazing time, things happened that I shall not discuss with you at this time as my blog is public and not safe ha! I'll keep you in wonder...

Well I'm tired.

In pain.

READY FOR BED!

Night (: -Mandy

P.S. Rebel day.

P.P.S HERE IS THE VIDEO...it's a fail...

1.22.10

Dear Blogger,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O40f2tfAPv4 -To Save A Life

I saw this movie today. This is the only movie I have ever cried at because of my own faults, because this happens all around us daily, because we are too self consumed to realize the hurt, the need around us.

Why do we make life about us? IT'S NOT. I personally think everyone on the face of this earth needs to see this film. Did this movie change me? In a certain way, yes. As of late I have been feeling the absolute need to include others. As the youth pastor in the movie puts it, we put a price tag on people. We decide who is worth our time, and who isn't. How ridiculous is that?! Our God paid the same price for every single one of us. Now, we're all priceless. Don't slap a price on people and decide whether or not they're worth it. They ALL are. Everyone needs Jesus, and if they don't see Him through you...then through who?

Sometimes we're lucky enough to be used by God and make a difference in the lives of others. Why do we turn His offers down?

After the movie me and Tory (mirrorimagerorrim.blogspot.com) walked into the ladies room. There were about 4 girls in there, all under the age of 14. By their clothes, I took a guess that most of their time was put into making themselves attractive. All 4 of them were fixing their hair in the mirror, they were all laughing about how one girl had thrown some food at another...getting it all over her hair, which she was frantically trying to get out. A few of them cussed.

I just couldn't help but stare. Why? I wanted to grab them by the shoulders and say, "What are you doing with your life? THIS is NOT what it's about. Jesus is waiting for you to spend every day with Him in a romance of peace and love. And you sit here fretting about your hair and how much you're liked by boys." I didn't, but I was so close. I can only pray for them now...and I pray they have such a spectacular meeting with God before they get too involved with...this world.

What are you doing with your life?

When was the last time you judged someone by their looks...personality, and decided they weren't worth your time?

What are you going to change?

-Mandy

1.21.10

Dear Blogger,

Most attractive picture of the year award! Yeah. Right there.

Alright so I'm going to make haste here in typing considering I want to be in bed by 10. So let's cut back on the small talk and just get to the meat of the conversation through facts!

Facts:

1. I had a headache ALL freakin day today.
2. Tim visited this morning to pick up his cutting board...this MORNING. As in, I hadn't even showered yet! (ewww...)
3. I cleaned/organized my room and my desk! The new semester starts tomorrow so I had to make sure I was off to a fresh start.
4. I got new colors on my teeth...Rose...haha
5. I worked, and did the inside horses instead of the outside ones this time...which was a lot boring--rrrr....
6. I randomly stopped by to see Manthaniel today. He's like the best short person I know.
7. T.J. finally got my name down (;

Sorry it's so short folks, today wasn't all that exciting.

Ever so boringly, Mandy

1.20.10

Dear Blogger,

I say, this is the weirdest picture yet...something about my hair and eyes creep me out. *shrugs* oh well.

Did I tell you? Today is my spiritual birthday month! January of 1999 is when Jesus became the ruler of my heart (:

Oh and I totally left out from yesterdays post...that I almost got trampled. I had to bring one of the horses (Frank) in for the night, and meanie horse (J.J.) charged him! Which sent Frank flying into me! Luckily I kept my bearings, and just kept running to avoid the pressure of 1000 pounds on top of me.

Anyway, back to the present. So today was a pretty dang good day. (Hmm..looking back I haven't had a bad one in a while! Thanks Jesus!) It started out with entering in my math score for my midterm (last one of the semester)...I was really scared, and had prayed before I took any of them that I would get at least an 80% on all of them, and I had been getting at least that! But when I entered my test I got a dreaded...78%....AHHHHH. But then I found a question on there that SO TOTALLY could've been either answer (I love multiple choice!) So he gave me the credit bumping my grade up to a whopping 80.5% :D Thanks Mr. W!

After that I did laundry! OH SHOOT, I forgot to take it out...hold on...yay my mommy already took it out for me! Haha, that's awesome...all I have to do now is fold. Woohoo.

Continuing...

My day then proceeded to involve, violin! Which went pretty well for not practicing the whole week. The bank! I now have an ATM card! (ha..) Then the Innes! Hmm...I seem to go to their house a lot. Well Jeremy, Caleb and I all ended up walking down to their one neighbors house...who believe in ALIENS. It's so weird, their whole house is covered in TIN FOIL.

You heard me, stuff you use for cooking. Apparently they're afraid that the aliens will come suck their brains out if their house doesn't look like it's about to be popped in the oven and baked to a crisp. Then we hiked through the woods and found some neat things to build a fort...whenever I hang out with those boys I feel like I'm 10 again, it's AWESOME. We finally found ourselves at the Carvers...we didn't exactly want to go to their house when their parents were home because Mr. Carver doesn't seem to like us coming all the time...so we noticed that they left and we stopped by! (What devilish children we are...) Asher and Austin entertained us and then my mother called and it was time to run back! (Quite literally...and in a skirt too.)

We arrived home where I did laundry...well half of it, and then got ready for church. That's when Alex called me! (Actually like 5 people called me today it was

insane...) But it was quite the enjoyable conversation, he was "in voice" with me while I made my bed and cleaned my room haha.

I headed off to church where we went out on visitation, which was quite grand, I love talking to people about Jesus!

Subway.

Church.

Home. Which is where I am now...typing this...

Because I like to reiterate my life in a blog, Mandy

Caleb and the tinfoil mailbox...

1.19.10

Dear Blogger,

Fail Day.

So today started out with an overly excessiveness of checking emails and then learning new card tricks...yes my not so secret obsession. Today went from a pretty dang good day to a...wow, really? Kind of day. Why is that you ask? Let me explain.

I finished my math today, and I felt pretty good about myself, even though I'm too scared to actually submit this final exam because of the grade I'm bound to receive. (Am I story writing? I don't know. I'm just releasing. I kind of feel bad...this blog makes my journal empty.) Anyhoo, then a cute little 4 year old came over that we're going to start babysitting every Thursday. He's such a cutie, telling me today...

T.J. - I'm thinking about something.

Me - What are you thinking about?

T.J. - Monster trucks.

Me - What kind of monster trucks?

T.J. - *stares at me* BLUE, BLACK, and RED ONES!

Me - Oh of course! Obviously.

T.J. - Oh great...

Me - What?

T.J. - Now I'm thinking about Barney...

And on another occasion...

T.J. - Hmm..I probably should have gotten dad to bring me another set of clothes...

Me - Why do you need more clothing?

T.J. - *looks up at me* Oh...I guess I was talking to myself.

He's the cutest kid in glasses I know.

So I had to leave that hilarious little bundle of joy and head off to work. Which was great actually. I was left alone to do EVERYTHING so all 6 stalls took me 2 hours to clean, and then I had to water, feed, hay, sweep, and then bring the horses in and feed the outside horses! Great eh? Either way the sun stayed up a little longer so I got to see God splash the horizon with mauve and deep navy blue. Then he started smudging it together, creating quite the sight...ah do I love Him. He inspires me.

I came home to a great meal, some cookies and sat down to the new episode of Chuck, hoping after that to...

1. Clean my room!

2. Exercise!

3. Do laundry!

4. Practice violin!

5. Get ready for bed!

6. Sleep!

What actually happened...

1. Watched chuck!

2. Worked on a new website for my photography...

3. More photography website working...

4. Still editing...

5. Forgot to press save...

6. Now it's ALL GONE. All 1 1/2 hours of work!!

I guess that's what I get for not doing my game plan and practicing violin...which I really...REALLY needed to practice. I feel horrible. Now this day is a fail.

BAWRAWERJALWRJWRWRWRARWBAWRWAR.

Goodnight! Mandy

1.18.10

Dear Blogger,

Today was amazing. But isn't every day? We're given air to breathe, a God to praise, what's not amazing about it?!

Here's a chronological list of my day...

1. Slept in!

2. School! - I finished my psychology exam yay!

3. KelLee's! - I went to KelLee's house where we jammed and took pictures, pretty much amazing...we are my new ringtone ha!

4. Dinner! - Always a good time eatin d:

5. Sessions! - See for my volleyball we're actually having some sessions at a church about music and such. It's quite riveting! I don't know why I'm using so many exclamation points! I'm happy! Well, I'm learning a lot and we still have a few hours on Friday and Saturday (actually 1-10pm on Saturday...ahhh) But that's okay, I do enjoy it. I not only get to see all my friends but I get to listen and spiritually grow closer to Jesus (:

6. Tried my hand at some more card tricks on youtube....*sigh* I'm bad at this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eu0oEQp1e7I

Alright, this is something I need to vent tonight. I'm sick and tired of the youth of today! Honestly I don't understand them...no I'm no different most the time, but I try to be :/ It's the apathetic behavior that bothers me. Why don't teens care anymore? About anything?! Especially about the spiritual selves. THAT in itself is the most important thing, our spiritual lives. Jesus is number one and I think we all need to be reminded of that...

Preachingly, Mandy

1.17.10

Dear Blogger,

So I went against my instinct to smile at the camera and go for a grunge/artsy/emo look. Feel free to mock. However, I just liked the bow I wore today.

GOOD DAY.

In case you were wondering^, yes, twas a good

day. I went to church this morning brimmed off with

joy that only Jesus can provide. Then, I spent the

day bowling at a birthday party, enjoying pizza, and

failing (at the bowling part). I actually used to be

pretty good...I guess those days are long gone.

I went home with Hannah (along with Corey

and Nathan) and after consuming yogurt (aren't

you glad I tell you all about my digesting..? haha)
Nathan and I played Super Mario Bros wii!

Which is amazing fun, I might add. Really, quite riveting.

We then headed back to church for some orchestra practice,
that I really wasn't in the mood

for, as sleepiness seemed to have invaded me.
After the service about surrending our lives to

God, we all went to Mccdonalds! Jolly fun I must say!
Our pastor treated us (: So sweet!

Hmm...I really need to spice this up I feel like this blog...is so lame....oh well. It's just a

creative channel for me I suppose.

Ever so boringly, Mandy

P.S. Sometimes it's hard to put up with people.
But if this was your last day would you treat

others differently? Would you want to be remembered
by that snappy word you gave them?

Or by the rejection you gave them?
