My Baby Girl

So it just occurred to me that I have not said anything about my baby girl in the 4 months that I've had this blog!! So some quick facts before getting to a picture of her. She's 3 years old. More hyper than anyone I know. She loves to play outside as long as I'm with her. She often lays beside me on the couch to go to sleep. She loves to be held, unless it means she's in trouble. She talks a lot and never fails to tell me when she wants something. She's adorable and I love her so very much!! So now that you know about little bit about her here's a picture of her.









This is my 3 yr. old border collie/husky mix!! Her name is Sasha. I got her from my grandparents for Christmas 2 years ago. She's a very loyal dog and will follow me everywhere! She never fails to be by my side when things go wrong and always, in her own way, apologizes when she knows she's done something wrong. She really is hyper and can jump about 5 ft. in the air (unless she uses the fence then she can sit on top of it, but rarely goes over unless she wants to follow me). She's my pride and joy and I'm going to hate leaving her when I go to college. However it will only be for one year until I can get an apartment and move her in with me. Well that's about it! She's a cutie though isn't she! (and btw she really does talk I just can't always figure out what it is she's saying!)

Senior Year...Goes by Fast?!?!

Alright well contrary to what has been said to me this summer...this week has gone by so very SSSSS.LLLLLL.OOOOO.WWWWW (wow that's kinda dorky)!!!!! I mean I really woke up this morning thinking it was Friday...but no it's only Thursday!!

So I'm tired! But pushing through like I do every year! The exciting thing is that since I'm now a senior...my class gets all the attention!!! And most of my classes are pretty easy cuz I only have 2 credits left before I can graduate this spring. My hardest is Ap European History (which I think I mentioned in my last blog by oh well). In fact today I had to go to tutorials to get help with my homework that she gave us on Wednesday. She gave me some tips and told me not to freak out about it. However I freak out about many things...especially things that are difficult and may take quit a bit of time to complete. She told me she didn't want me to spend more than 1 hour on it. I spent 1 1/2 but oh well it's done!!!

In other news of my life...choir now has around 55 people in it total men and women. Up from last years numbers of about 30! However need you guys to keep praying about it cuz there are some big attitudes that have arrived in these new people and we really need to be a team to get anything done!

I miss basketball. I feel like my day is incomplete not having my hand on a ball or practicing. Plus walking by the rooms my old teachers were in that are no longer there kinda leaves a hole. I hate not being able to just stop by my chemistry teacher's room and hang out anf chat about anything. I miss my coaches and the times we got to laugh together. It's just not the same...but I'm making the best of it!

Well we are about to watch a movie so I need to go!

A New Chance...

So I have completed my first and second days of school and only have 178 days left before I graduate. Slowly but surely the idea of graduating is warming up. All of my friends have been talking and planning and I'm catching the fire. Most of my classes are easy and promise to never or rarely give homework. However my one Ap class of course it's a guarantee.

On another note there is a club at my school called NGSTRONG. It's a christian club that because of basketball and choir I never attended until last year when my ex-boyfriend talked me into going. By the end of the year I was really enjoying it and having fun with the people even though many of them graduated last year there are a few returning. Anyway at the end of the year they had an opportunity for people to sign up to be an officer of this club. Well one of the sponsors called me yesterday and informed me that I get to be the president!! So basically this means all the organizing and stuff like that falls to me. I run the Bibe study we have weekly and any ideas I have get to be presented. So I'm excited but kinda freaking out as well. With Ap and of course all the rest of my classes, plus choir pracitce and the absolute need to get a job...this is just one more thing added to my list. However I know God and I know that he will allow things to happen as he sees fit for the betterment (is that a word?) of my life.

So with all this I have a new chance. Chances I didn't have before. Being in senior classes (OMg) the teachers are more interactive with the students and the classes more open. Discussion is a big form of learning in these classes. Which for me means that I have the chance to shine my light and find ways to get people to join NGSTRONG with my creativity and love for God. I'm excited...but of course always never losing sight of my future. God's bringing answers and clarity and has just given me such a peace about so many things.

Anyway I'll stop blabbing now!!
