About Me

My photo
I am 19 years old now. It seems like time is going fast, and I am not always sure how to handle it! I started college August 2014. I am studying psychology at North Central University, meeting new people, and drawing closer to God with each step I take. Life is not a destination, it is a long journey. I am excited to see what God has in store for my life, and I hope you will join me as I find out!

Thankful Thursday

Wordle: blog

What am I thankful for today?

I am thankful for parks. I am thankful for picnics. I am thankful for movies. I am thankful for friends. I am thankful for smaller rubber bands for my braces. I am thankful that FigNewTon did not throw a fit today. I am thankful for followers. I am thankful for somethings that I don't remember. I am thankful for laughter. I am thankful for books. I am thankful for our nice apartment. And I am thankful for homemade Fettucini Alfredo with shrimp.

What are you thankful for today?

Hi!

OK. I'm back to blogging. But not exactly. I still don't remember anything from before and still call it my website sometimes. BUT I will get better. Because I have been called by God and to get where HE wants me to be, I need all of my brain cells.

Aside from that though, it's still hard.
It's hard when mom says something that has happened in the past six years and I don't remember it. This also makes me sad.
It's hard when I need to sleep for 16 hours a day.
It's hard when I am so dizzy.
And it's hard when there is not a lot of progress.

But I'm complaining. Mom says that each bump could send me back to the beginning. Or worse.

So I can be thankful.
I can be thankful for each step of progress.
I can be thankful for the good moments I remember from when I was eight.
And I am back to blogging. That is a step in the right direction.

For starters, I am going to begin doing a scrapbook of things that I do remember. I will backdate these things, so they are in order like a scrapbook. And a journal, because mom thinks it will help me to get my feelings out. Then they are not all boxed up.

The Royals Game














We went to a Royals game. It was fun, and very hot! FigNewTon and I both started wetting our caps every time they got dry. The Royals won!
The final score was Las Vegas 4, Royals 8!



After the game there were fireworks!










Then there was a Big Daddy Weave concert to top it all off!

VBS

We helped out at our churches VBS this year. The theme was The Incredible Race. I was a crew leader and took kids from place to place. There was the lesson, games, crafts, snack, puppets and song time. This picture was taken by Pastor during one of the games. I was sitting down and he came up with the camera. I hid my face and came up and down really fast until I burst out laughing. Then he snapped the picture. It was fun and I hope we can do it next year. VBS was from July 26-29.

Thankful Thursday

I am thankful that we were able to get free brand new and brand name backpacks, pencils, pens, and highlighters at Staples.

I am thankful that Mom was able to get me some glittery notebooks and a Bible cover on clearance at Wal-Mart, too.

Feeding the Ducks

We took FigNewTon to feed the ducks last Wednesday.
When we gave the ducks the bread, they all refused it.
Even the mom and her babies wouldn't take it.


I guess they were just being "ungrateful retches." :D


So... we moved on to the geese.
They were really hungry!


I think this one needs to work on his ostrich impression!


FigNewTon showed us the duck walk
that she had to do to get her mail at camp.

Then I did it, too.


We had tons of fun!
