You never know what you really have 'til it's gone

You have no idea how glad I am to be home.

And now that i've seen the majority of my friends I'm pretty happy.

PPL still left to see- AACS ppl, and the Dwyers.

But I'd really luv to see y'all more often.


Ok So a few highlights from my past few weeks are displayed in my pics. hehehe.

THe one of Josh...well can't you see how that's a highlight?
Pink Toes. ok this is my friend Connor Craig. His team...well they painted some of the guy's toes pink. lol
The rose on Josh is cause Elaine put a dragon on his right shoulder and Noelle put a skull and crossbones on his left. So someone(i think it was corrie) put a rose on his arm to even it out.
The other picture is mostly representation. It represents ppl, and friends. The ones that I've made and grown closer too.
The horse is the one I rode at RVR. Tracer. I have some stories about him.
The pic of a bunch of girls are the ones I roomed with. They rock!
oh and the guy is my friend Blane. If I told you about him. thats a pic of him. He rocks too. ;)
and the other pic is of my cousin Sasha(he's got a 6-pack), my Grandma and Katia my other cousin. :D



Now an awesome vid by Hoobastank called The Reason. ♥♥ (ok so the vids not all that spectacular but the song, I like)



o yea, band started...To come- Busy Weekends and afternoons after school this fall. yeah me. :(













We hide because we want to be found, We walk away to see who will follow, and we let our hearts get broken to see who cares enough to fix them.

"And it was so" AKA- FLORIDA!!!!

Greetings from FLorida!!! haha so lemme tell ya real quick whats been happening here in Fl

ON Saturday I went to the airport(I stayed at the SIlllamans on Friday night and Mrs. Sillaman dropped me off at the airport) got on the plane and as we were taxiing out, I got a very random nose bleed. I just felt my nose running and I wiped my nose and I saw blood. So yeah. that was fun. Then when we landed the lady who sat next to me, her daughter got a nose bleed. but she was picking her nose...ew. anyway. So my grandma and my cousin Katia picked me up from the airport. (see picture). isn't she perty?

anyway. So I got to my aunts house and we went swimming. Later the guys showed up. Sasha and Dima. Y'all met Dima but not Sasha. dude. that kid is 13 and has a 6-pack. it's scary. oh yeah. he doesnt talk in english much. he knows it but doesnt use it. and Dima is a dadushka. hehehe.

sunday I made breakfast and we went to church then I went to lunch then to Brusters then to my aunts house so Katia could get her clothes then my grandma and I went back to her house where I slept for like 3 or 4 hours. I was sooo tired. and I dont know why. then I made dinner.

so today we were supposed to go horseback riding but nope. thats tomorrow. yeah....




oh yeah, "and it was so." Katia was reading the creation story in the bible and she wanted to kno what the word "so" meant. I had no idea how to explain it. Isn't it funny how we can use a word over and over again in our everyday lives and not know how to explain it, and sometimes not know what it means? It was that way with a bunch of words, like "was." oh does anybody know what "firmament" means?











RVR WAS SOO MUCH FUN!!!!!!! i'll post pics later.
























I miss y'all.

oi ve

for those who dont know how that's pronounced- oi-vey

it's french. for something like "oh dear"

Listening to- The sounds my computer makes when the sound is messed up. :(


So last week I was at River Valley Ranch. IT.WAS.AWESOME!!!!!!!

yeah. I'll put pics up later. I'm just here to say that I'm not gonna be here this week or the week after. Victory Jam then Florida. so yeah. fare thee well!











oh yeah, some pics from the wedding.

MuteMath- Typical

I luv MuteMath so this video totally works for me. one day I'm gonna watch it backwards...or forwards. whichever you choose. lol




oh yeah and by the time you all read this I will probably be at camp. So I'll take lots of pictures and tell y'all about it. MISS Y'ALL!!!!!!!!!

From MD to DC to VA to DC to VA to MD to almost DC

Listening to- Over my head(cable car) by the Fray

Very little if any of this post is exaggeration

Yesterday.was.crazy.

I went w/ my grandma to DC yesterday…after we went to Virginia cause we got lost then got lost around Union Station..yeah. crazy. So this is how our travels went today-

From MD
Through DC
To VA
To DC
(the following is after we did whatever we came to do)
to VA
to DC
to BALTIMORE
toward New York
got lost in Baltimore
headed back to DC
Then headed to Glen Burnie
Then to Annapolis
Then to Glen Burnie
Then to Hanover
Then to Cromwell Station
Then to Glen Burnie..again
Then to Baltimore
Then back towards DC
Then towards Bowie and Upper Marlboro
Then to Ferndale
Then to Glen Burnie
Then to Shoppers food warehouse
Then home

Yeah…we got lost….A LOT!

So I saw the Yoests while in DC. IT WAS SO COOL!!!!!!! For those who know and possibly love the Yoests(like me) then you’d think that’s cool too. If not….that’s your problem. So when they left our church about 6 months ago James(the youngest) had blonde hair….now he has brown hair. It’s been a long time…kinda
And John is the same as ever. Crazy and retarded. Sara and Gibby…rambunctious as ever. And Hannah is awesome as ever. She hates her school and new church….So the only friends she has are in MD. Oh and get this- everyone thinks she’s this freaky emo kid. lol. But we know it’s not true. Oh and she shadowed an intern in a Senators office as well. And she’s got braces, but they’re nice.

BEING WITH A FRIEND IN A BIG CITY ALONE IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I got to walk around a bit with Hannah without adult supervision. Lol. so it wasn’t like we went all around. We just explored the Smithsonion and went to dinner around the corner. But I must say, it was soo exhilarating being without adults or siblings in a big city. It was so much fun. I had a blast.

But the way home wasn’t terribly fun
We got directions, yes. They fell through. Then we got lost over and over again. So around 10:30 pm we called Mr. Davidson and asked for directions(he’s come through before and apparently knows the state like the back of his hand). But something always went wrong. There’s this place called Mohawk industries and we passed that once to go to DC and twice(LOL) coming back. We went in circles constantly. Oh yeah. It.was.crazy.


If you’re ever in DC-

2 restaurants you should check out- Potbelly and Ollies Trolley

they are NO WHERE near each other but they’re both delicious. Oh and potbelly has real ice cream sandwiches. Two chocolate chip cookies with ice cream(you choose the flavor from what they have) in the middle cut in half, prepared right before your eyes. Ollies Trolley has the bestest fries you will ever taste in your life. Seasoned perfectly, And their burgers, oh yes, much better than Burger King©. It’s all good.
The Smithsonian is really cool as well, but I would suggest only goin to the art part of it if you have a lot of time on your hands and no children with you.

so yeah. yesterday was an adventure. yeah....the pics are of hannah and me and James and our new kitten named Ike.

listening to Dirty Little Secret by The All American Rejects

FM Static- Crazy Mary

(it's just audio)
Crazy Mary is a slow girl who looks up to no one.
Would do anything for a cold one.
Wishes she could find her way home.
Got the look on her face and her stare's like ray gun.
We walked by everyday
and I wish there was something I could do for her.

Maybe if I took a little time to talk then she'd heal a little if she wants to.
She can run but let's teach her how to walk away now.
I'll shake a little if she wants to she'll laugh a little if she needs to.
There's a key to the door that she's hiding behind.

She watches the world pass her by like a freight train.
They all call her the same name.
Laughin' as they point and stare at her.
So she crys out to God up in Heaven,
been prayin since she was 11.
For Him to send someone to meet her there.

Maybe if I took a little time to talk then she'd heal a little if she wants to.
She can run but let's teach her how to walk away now.
I'll shake a little if she wants to she'll laugh a little if she needs to.
There's a key to the door that she's hiding behind.

And no one knows the thoughts, the dreams,
and the ideas she's got and contains inside.
She's broken apart
and her heart is still lookin for somewhere to feel alright.

So on Sunday I went to Cassie's house and we did stuff and we were talking about bands and stuff and Anberlin came up. Well I luv Anberlin, and she happened to have their new CD- Cities. so I borrow it and I've been listening to it along with Something Corporate, Jacks Mannequin, Great Northern, Dashboard Confessional, Boy Kill Boy, Fall Out Boy, Rediscover, Blue October and 30 seconds to mars. So I'm not so crazy about Fall Out Boy, but I'm listening to them anyway.

So out of those band the top five are-

Anberlin
Something Corporate
Jacks Mannequin

Blue October

For those who have no idea about any of the bands I've listed...I'm sorry for you cause they are all great bands.

Great Northern I just found on Itunes. Its the free single of the week. It's not bad.
