I think it went really well. We had three girls, that’s a start. That’s what most groups started out with. Our youth group is just full of girls We are needing some boys to come!

 Our group is at Danielle’s house. Danielle spoke (which went really well) and next time it will be Josh. I was a little quiet this time, I will start talking more! Our group just rocks. I am excited to see what God is going to do with our outreach group and every onther group too. We all just need to pray that God gives us (me) the strength that we need to lead one of these groups. God rocks!

God is going to do amazing things!

I wish I was eighteen right now!

I can’t wait tables until I am eighteen because you have to be eighteen to serve alcohol. One of the beauty schools that I looked at going to, you had to be eighteen. I can’t vote. I really want to be a grown-up. I am not like other kids my age. I am a lot different.

I can do a whole lot more when I am eighteen. Yeah, high school years are fun, I guess. I wish I would have graduated early, but that didn’t happen. I am not into the party scene that many people my age are into. They don’t like the homework part but they like to party, get in trouble, not having to have a job, staying up late, etc.

I am totally the opposite of that. I don’t get in trouble. I am very innocent. Sometimes too innocent. I want to start beauty school. I want to grow up and get on with my life. I want to grow up and get married, have a family, be a homemaker. I want to help with youth girls.

Right after the Resound concert, all the girls went over to Judi’s house. By the way, Mark and Judi’s house is BEAUTIFUL. I didn’t really know what to expect but fun. We got there and everybody went downstairs. I counted fifteen girls. That’s so many freaking girls. That made me happy!

Judi had went and bought all kinds of snacks!

We had:

Chips.

Cookies.

Pop.

Licorice.

Pizza.

Candy.

I made my peanut butter cookies (Hope those were good!)

Shaina had made a girls CD for all  of us to dace to around  the the pool table. That was a blast. I couldn’t stay all night at the girls sleepover but I had a a lot of fun. I didn’t want to leave, and I didn’t want to tell Judi I could not stay. I didn’t want to make her sad! We need to have more girls sleepovers!

Sorry it’s kind of late writing this.  Thanks Judi!

Last night was a bad night for me.

I was trying to be a good sister and daughter. I told my parents I could go pick up my my sister and her boyfriend from the airport. I had a lot of confidence in myself. I really thought I could do it.  I wanted to be the cool little sister who comes and picks her sister up.  Well that didn’t happen. I wanted to let my parents go to bed at a decent time because they have not been sleeping well. That didn’t happen either.

I got so close to the airport.  It got to a point where I had to go left or right, I choose right. That was wrong, it took me to a toll road. I had no coins. So I had to run through the toll station and I watch it take a picture of my car. Darn it.

They were suppose to  arrive at midnight. She landed a half hour early and called me! I left extra half hour early, just in case. So I had to run through the toll station and I watch it take a picture of my car. Darn it. After that I just wanted to cry. I sucked at this. I had called home a couple times but nobody answered. Finally my mom answered and I told her I was lost. I felt so bad I had just woke my mom up! I wanted to curl in a hole and die.

I was driving around for like an hour and at one point I was behind the airport. It was dark outside. I was so scared that I thought I was never going to ever get there or even get home. I hate not being good at directions.

Finally I got there. I let Christina drive back because there was no way I was going to. I was sitting in the back sit texting my mommy. I love her! One of her text said “Remember that you never get permanently lost. It is only for a little while. No harm done”.  My mom is the best!

Trying to do good last night didn’t work for me!

I had my Seniors Pictures taken yesterday! I am so happy with how they turned out.

I got a new razor! Every time I go to shave, I cut myself! This time it was like a chunk of my own skin.
