A Painting in the Sky

A sunset is a beautiful painting in the sky. The sky is the canvas and God is the painter. Color after color streaked across the sky, colors our eyes have never seen. An amazing display of God's power and beautiful creation :)

Every time my best friend goes away he takes a picture of the sunset where he is and sends it to me :) Each one is more beautiful than the next and shows a different view and background. What amazes me is that even though I am miles away from him and others we all see the same sunset. The same gorgeous colors in the sky, just with a different landscape. Here are just a few of the sunsets over the past month.

Weird Compliments.....ummm thank you?

Have you ever been complimented, yet your not entirely sure how to respond? It's one of those: "ummm thank you?" responses. Well I started a few years ago making a "book" of all the weird compliments I have gotten over the years. Today I think I just got the best one. In talking to my best friend, we were talking about how long my hair was and he was saying how much he likes it. Yet his compliment was: "Yeah it's soo long, and pretty and warm". Warm? That's a new one, but don't worry it gets better lol. I proceeded to question the warm compliment and got "yes, it's warm like a blanket made from Norwegian alpaca belly fur". Haha :) Not really sure how to respond to that, my hair got compared to this little guy: (and then blanket underneath)

Not Ready for Goodbye...

As you go through the school year, most of the time, all you want is to be done. Can't it be summer already is what most people say. I would say i fit into that category, well that was until now. All finals are finished, and possibly all finals for the rest of my high school :) Today was the last day, clean up the school day and pack up your lockers. Tomorrow is field day and Friday is awards ceremony. All i wanted was to be done school and get on with summer. But, now, looking back at the year I realized I'm going to miss everyone soo much. Seniors are gone and heading off to college and my class, all 8 of us, will be down to three. As i was thinking back over the memories we had, the inside jokes, and the lunch conversations it made me realize how much of a family we really are and were :) You guys I'm really going to miss you next year, more then you know. Even if at times I got annoyed, I want you to know that you guys will always my class even when you leave next year, our senior class will still be you guys. Oh and you guys better come to graduation, because you're sitting right behind us :P I love you guys and will miss you soo much :( That crazy 10-year reunion we always talk about somebody needs to organize :) Ryan, Joel, Sam, Nick, Dan, Dan and Joel  :)

One down one to go!

Lacrosse team win!! whoop whoop :) Playing Eleanor Roosevelt yesterday and won 12-6. If we win Monday against Bowie then we have first round playoffs at home. If playoffs are at home then we can move them to Thursday yay! No longer will they interfere with Prom Friday night. Life of a lacrosse player....let's goo FCA we can do it :) One game down one game to go.

Want You Back

Missing my sissy :( She's always there for me and encourages me :) Long night talks in bed when mom and dad think we have gone to bed :p Two years older than me and practically the complete opposite of me. Yet I love her soo much and can't wait for her to come home. Life is very different with her 6 hours away at college in Erie, PA. Miss you Rachel :) <3 Come home soon!

:( No Sports

Sooo I fell down at practice on monday (no biggie) but had and still have this headache, and a little bit of dizziness. Scheduled doctors appointment and they tell me I can't play sports for 1 week. Including practices, running, tumbling, jumping, etc. No biggie considering I had a lax game today and one Friday :( And only if my headache is gone am I cleared to play again. This is not fun at all! Well I am thankful that I do not have a concussion and I am only off sports for 1 week - it could definitely be worse.

Hurt Little Ducky :(

Home Sweet Home

They're finally home! The seniors left 10 days ago to go to Europe for their senior trip. School was very very quiet and I couldn't talk or see any of them :( But today they came home and had soo many stories to tell. My best friends megs was soooo sooo happy and phil was right there to greet her and hug her tight :) Hunty was soo surprised to see me and was soo smiley :D It was sooo good to see them and drive home with them. The stories keep coming and I can't wait to hear some more. Hunty got me a BEAUTIFUL scarf from Rome gosh its very soft and its gorgeous if i didn't already mention that. He said that the cities were beautiful and it was hard to believe they were standing in and near and seeing these famous sites. Thats all for now until I hear some more :)

p.s oh and the time change threw off hunty so when he got in the car he thought that the sun was rising and he had a whole day to go through, he was very realized that he could go home and sleep...hehe awwwww hunty :)
