SHS PROM 2008

its the post many people have been waiting for :):)
so saturday was 'prom' day filled with many things to do. im not going to bore you and tell you about the grand march and how hot it was and how long we waiting in line for ... but after the grandmarch/parent&child dance, we went to public gardens for pictures for 2 hours. after that we went to the mount for the dinner and the dance. the food was pretty good, but it was hard for me to fit in my dress, so i had to unzipper it for a bit. none of us (all my friends) danced .. theyre were only like 4 slow songs the whole night .. in 3 hours which was a drag, and everyone (minus us) was grinding the whole night, which is extremly disturbing. anywho, most of us left the dance part about a hour early and then changed and headed over to annies house for prom 'party' where we all just hung out, watched tv, talked, and ate tonnnss of food. it was awesome. we didnt all end up falling asleep until 5 am, and then we all had left her house by 9 30 am. its getting late now, (and by late i mean 9 15) and i think im going to go to bed; im super tired.
now i ll leave you with some pictures from prom, if you want to see more you can check them out on facebook :)

other than that, thats about it! my next post will be filled with lots of pictures from prom. i was excited when i found out that its suposed to be nice out on saturday !!! YAYA no rain ! :):)

lately

it was brought to my attention that i havent updated my blog lately .. whoops. i havent really been up to much lately, just busy with school work and friends. it seems like in school since its getting close to the end of the year, teachers are trying to cram everything in . in one of my classes, yearlong english, we have 6 or less classes left, and in that time we're suposed to read a book, answer questions and write a essay . haaaa.

last last weekend i went to the city for the long weekend. it was nice to be able to stay for 3 nights and do more things since it was the long weekend. that saturday it was really nice out, so some of us went down on the bedford water front and walked around and played frisbee but it was a bit too windy. there was tonnnss of kids on the play ground too, so we couldnt play grounders like usual :( .then we went to lawerencetown beach and had a big bon fire with hot dogs and marshmellows. it was pretty windy and the waves were HUGE. other than that, we didnt do a whole lot that weekend , other than play rock band a lot (helps if you know what that is...) but it was nice to get away from the boring valley life ... now dont start trying to tell me that living in the valley isnt boring either.

a couple of us by the water front

the waves look small in this picture in comparission to what they were really like ..a little kodak moment of me and mikel !!!! hahahah, cute i know

i just got new glasses a couple of weeks ago because my old ones werent strong enough and it took forever for me to get a appoitment that i could acutally go to, and then we waited for a long time until we acutally ordered the glasses. i didnt realize how much i was missing (sight wise) !! haha.

this week is busy with school as i said, and trying to get everything ready for prom on june 7 th! soo close, im excited :):) and on top of that all my parents are leaving for sweden to see emily for like 2 and 1/2 weeks, so im moving in with a friend for that time.

i ll try and update more often, sorry for the delay!

weekend; work and trees

this past weekend, i worked for 10 hours on saturday. ahh it was like death. i never want to do that again. anywho, mikel came and hung out with me again on sunday after church. my dad and i pulled/cut down 2 trees in the backyard before mikel came, and then when he came, my dad 'let' him chop the other 2 down. i got to pull them down with the truck too :D i think i was having more fun than everyone else. haha. after all the trees were done, we didnt really do much, just went to the mall and whatnot. then my parents ordered pizza for supper.

today im skipping school because it was only a half day .. and no one goes on half day. and im sick with a cold/croop cough and whatnot, so i decided to stay home. i have to work tonight anyways. ive been missing going to the city latley; my mom says i can only go every other weekend (2 times a month) and with work its hard. but i am coming next weekend! YAYA, for the go missions conference, and some other fun stuff planned. im sure i ll have a new blog about it too.

weekend

this weekend i was plannnning on going to the city, but my mom says that im only allowed to go for 2 weekends a month .. depressing i know. so mikel came and visited me on saturday. there wasnt a whole lot to do because it was raining, but he just got a new laptop, so he brought it with him so we could play with it. theres this cool program on it where it does weird thing with the pictures and adds stuff to your face or whatever. so we took some with the built in webcam/camera that his comp. has. heres some:

pretty cool , i know. other than that , i havent really done anything this weekend. i found out that my asian friend went to church again this weekend, and he even brought a friend!! yaya. so thats pretty cool too! leave me some comments :) peaceee

update!

hey, long time .. no post?
well heres whats new

last weekend i went to the city, like usual. some of us decided to go downtown and do some free prayer, despite the cold and wet weather. 6 of us went together, and feared the cold weather. it went pretty well with some interesting conversations. me and brett were partners, and right before we were all about to meet up, i went over to this random japanese on the bench playing his harmonica, and asked him if he wanted free prayer. ive never seen someone so confused at such a question. he thought that i wanted to take him to a near by church and pray with him or something weird like that. so we tried to understand to him what prayer was, and he told us that he had never prayed before. so we talked to him for like 10 minutes and explained some stuff to him, and then he said he had never been to church before. so, this sounded like a perfect opportunity to invite him!! and so he said he would come, and we exchanged numbers and whatnot. and he actually ended up coming to church the next morning, he even got a taxi there!! it was soooo awesome, and he stayed for the whole service, and stayed after so we could introduce him to pastor mike. he also said he'd come back this sunday again,and he said he really liked it. so im really excited about that, so if anyone here thats reading this prays, pray for our new asian friend. he has a crazy weird name that none of us know how to say, so we just call him wawoo. SO pray for wawoo!! haha. other than that i didnt really do a whole lot when i was there, other than just hang out with friends and whatnot. the usual.
today my mom picked up my prom dress because they finallllly finished fitting it! i tired it on, and its soo tight, its hard to breathe. im going to have to start doing crunches :( boo.
other than all that; nothing else is really new. i decided not to go to the city this weekend because now my mom says i can only go every other weekend, which is a bummer. so i dont think i'll be going until the 26/27th for the go missions conference, which should be fun!
welllll, thats all. leave me comments !! :) i changed it so that there could be anonymous posts. yaya . peacee
