What a week.

So this is annual breakdown week. Every year since Pilgrim, I've had a breakdown this week because of stress. So far I'm doing okay! Been pretty stressed, but some of my teachers have been understanding and given me extensions on Math assignments, so that's helping me out a lot. :) Llama face.

So lots has happened! Sunday I got to see my twin, Arden A. She is brilliant. Maybe you remember her from when I went to the football game? Yeah! So I got to hang out with her and Chris, and Christian. Had some pretty fun times in the car. Enjoyed listening to the Perdues jam...pretended I could dance on a whim like Christian...it failed. :P

The rest of the week consisted of lots of homework and stress. I realized late in the week how much I needed God. You know how when you get busy, you push off your quiet time? Yeah. I am SO guilty of that. Stephen was talking to me at MCI. He was saying how if we're putting God's glory first, then we're always going to have our quiet times. Our quiet times, yes are spiritual food for our bodies but first and foremost a means of glorifying God by honoring him the way he deserves. That is such an incredible truth I fail to realize so much.

In other news...I got an A on my paper. Rehearsals are going good...THG this weekend. I'm a bad friend. And I like to drive the suburban.

Toodleloo!

Guess who's back?

Let's play a game of guess who's here for a visit. Lets see...he has a sock monkey named Emerson Roosevelt (better known as Abu). He's often referred to as Aladdin. He has green hair. He's been living in Turkey. He's here for Godspell.

.....

Easy Game right?

Yup Christian's back! Just a for a couple months, but I'm happy to have my friend back just the same. :D I'm not going to rant or anything now, but I will say that he's a good friend of mine and I'm glad he'll be here to hang out with for a while!!! Hoping there are many adventures to come!

Needless to say...it seems like Emmy Rose has made a new friend. :)

Birthdays :D

Several of my friends had birthdays recently so I just wanted to highlight some of them :D

Katie and Alexis- the twins, my cousins

No, they're not really my cousins. Our Moms were best friends in highschool so we're fake cousins. I've known them for almost all of my life and have been able to become closer friends with them over the past two years. I love them both so much. Katie is such a trooper (through having Crohns disease especially), and has such joy through everything. Such a sweet, quiet and gentle spirit. Alexis is crazy and outgoing, not afraid to let her voice be heard. I love both of their personalities. I remember going to Disney World with them, my 7th or 8th Birthday party, when there was a bat flying around the ceiling in the middle of the night. Doing workshops with Janice, watching Kung Fu panda, Esther, and so many more memories :D Happy Sweet 16 girlies :D

Elizabeth C

Known her for a longggg time through co-op. She's so sweet, though quiet, and has real conviction. Her quiet and gentle spirit amazes me and she's so happy. Not to mention she sings amazing and is quick to help me when I totally fail a harmony. She's now an adult. We're all so old now... We've had so many memories in co-op. that play we did and you were my aunt, and all the other plays we did too, history debates, singing around the f's piano. Watching Cats, doing rehearsal for the Cov Life shows....its awesome. Happy Birthday Elizabeth!

David

Known again for a long time through co-op. He's crazy, outgoing, hilarious and godly. Totally fun to be around. I'm glad he's one of my good friends, we have so many memories from co-op...History class, shows, locking him in the shed...etc...and through school and the plays. We've had so much fun hanging out, making videos (which were creatively thought up by him, which I end up ruining with my fail dramatic 'acting' :P) doing photoshoots in the freezing cold and rain. Rehearsals...yeah, we've had some good times. Happy 17th you old geezer.

I thank the Lord that he keeps surrounding me with people with a heart after his own heart. These four people are such inspirations to me in different ways and Im so glad I've been blessed by their godly friendship. Thank you all so much. May God Bless you in the coming year!

more posts to come! Keep up! :D
