What a week

My life has become a realistic fiction novel... it has been. It was jam packed with excitement. It all started Monday when I watched the Do Something Awards supporting my friend Sheckler and I had to watch him not receive the award I worked so hard campaigning for. Now I know how it feels to be a presidential campaign manager and not see your candidate win. It blows chunks. ahaha. sorry for that graphic image but Monday night I was really upset that Ryan didn't win. :/

Anyway, Tuesday was the New BEST day of my life! My friend Ryan came back to cyberspace and I found out thatthe video campaign I made won the Sheckler Foundation most creative campaign contest. :D Yay! Thank you Ryan for choosing my video. :)

Then, on Wednesday, things got weird. I thought the Sheckler Foundation was going to post my video and letting people know I won but they decided to just post the Top 3 photos and post that I won in a comment. Talk about giving credit where credit is due. I'm still confused as to why whenever I win one of their contests they keep it a secret but when other people win other contests, they announce those. :?

Thursday, I got an extreme summer tan. :)

Friday, I worked out and then had a subway foot long that was poorly made while watching Friday Night Lights and Degrassi.

Yesterday, I ran errands with my mom which is always fun cuz me and my mom are besties! :D

Today, the plans are to tan some more...
Check.

Get a chili cheese foot long... Check.

Stuff my face at Dairy Queen...
Check.

Spend time with family(well minus Jamie)...
Check.

Accomplished everything for today. :)

Before I leave you with a final thought, I must mention that Project Birthday Letter isn't working out as well as I hoped so far but I will leave it in God's hands and I know that it will work out better than expected.♥

Until next time, you want to be a TRUE rebel? READ YOUR BIBLE. Nobody's doing that.♥

Feelings

My life has become a realistic fiction novel...Yesterday, you can say they got the best of me. I spent the first part of the day having fun. Then, when I went online I was reminded I couldn't be with the man I love and it hurt me a lot. I had Chinese for dinner and got a fortune that said: A clean tie will attract the soup of the day. No, really? I want to thank my friend Allison for being there for me when I needed a friend. :D :D :D

Yesterday though, I watched Remember Me with Robert Pattinson and it was a very compelling movie. I recommend you see it whenever you can or if you were looking for a movie to rent, I suggest that one.

Anyway, today was a much better day. I watched the Bounty Hunter with my sisters and we ate chili footlong hot dogs(so good!).

Until next time, Remember: "This isn't real, it's just all you can feel and that's the way that feelings go♥" -Jon McLaughlin "We All Need Saving." <---Listen to this song!

You know it's summer in Florida

My life has become a realistic fiction novel...when you start shedding as much as your dog.

So, this week was full of blessings. For one, my mom finally understands about me and the man I love. :D

Yesterday, though. I went to the desert er I mean the beach and got a nice tan. You know how when you're on the beach and you look at yourself and see how tan you look and just reapply your sunscreen and layout for another hour. Then, you come home and look at your tan and realize it's a burn. That's what happened to all of us. :/

If you ever thought it was impossible to be sunburned in your armpits, let me inform you that it is NOT.

Well, next weekend is my dad's big bday and by big I mean the BIG 5-0.

Until next time, don't visit the beach without plenty of water and sunscreen!

July 4th is the Day of The Free

My life has become a realistic fiction novel...July 4th also means a month until my birthday. I will be 19 in ONE month! Holy cow, wow. Gifts are appreciated but not required. :)

So, this week was awesome-er than I thought it was going to be. I gave all my burdens to God and then was blessed when God took care of everything and it worked out better than I expected. :D

Can you guys believe it's July? I canNOT but I am so stoked to go back to Leo. Although, I'm finally bonding with my sisters. My sister and I even have this new thing going where we give each other a quarter for every swear word we say. What better way to break a habit than to break your bank. :P Am I right?

Anywho, Excited for tomorrow. I'm finally going to see Toy Story 3 with my mother and my sisters. Eek! I've been waiting 11 years and two weeks. I'm super duper stoked, dude. Fo rizzle.

So, I hope your still voting for Sheckler because I wasn't really kidding about the kneecap thing and I sorta know where you sleep at night...(just kidding). :P

I don't but I can find out. Huhaha! :D

Until next time, God has made everything beautiful in its time.-Ecclesiastes 3:11. :)

Love Love Love

My life has become a realistic fiction novel... Yesterday came and went. Nothing super duper blog-worthy spectacular happened, but this year was unlike any other in the fact that me and the person I love had a connection. :) ♥

Anywho, So I finished my online class this week and got the credit. Yet, this week I found out that I will have to wait to go to Italy until next year because I will not have enough financial aid to cover the trip. :( Sorta sad, but I'm ok with it. I know God has BIG plans for this Florida girl and I will await directions from him that lead me there, as well as California.

Speaking of California, my favorite skater from Cali took second last night on the first stop of the Dew Tour in Boston. I was just glad to see him so happy skating. :) He's the happiest I've ever seen him and that makes me really happy. :D

Speaking of Ryan Sheckler, in case you don't follow me on Twitter, Facebook, or Myspace, or haven't visited my Youtube channel lately, I posted a new video campaigning for Ryan. You all need to go watch it, and vote for Ryan daily to win a Do Something Award in the athlete category. I don't care who you vote for in the other categories, but if you don't vote RYAN SHECKLER in the athlete category. Well, say Adios to your kneecaps, friend. :P Vote here: http://www.vh1.com/shows/events/do_something_awards/2010/athlete/

Here's the video:


Until next time, stay positive in the face of adversity and trial. Know that God loves you and will take care of you! :)

Patience is a funny business

My life has become a realistic fiction novel... I've been patiently waiting for my friend in California to give me the ok to come visit them and I have decided that if they don't say anything to me by the end of the month, I'm just going to wait until next summer to visit them. Oh, if your that supposed friend and your reading this: So, what's the verdict?

Haha. Anyway, so since I last updated I went and saw Chicago the musical live! Holy shishkabob. That was aaaah-mazing!

This past week, I finished my third novel but now have to market it to agents and publishers and keep hoping God shows them what a brilliant piece a literature he helped me create and they say, "We want to publish this." Then, a few weeks after it's published, they say, "Guess what? It's a New York Times Bestseller." Oh, that would be amazing news. So, I really feel accomplished this week. It's sorta the same feeling a mother has after just giving birth. All that blood, sweat, and tears, and she gets to hold her beautiful baby. Not that I know what that EXACTLY feels like, yet. :P

This past Friday I went to see the Christian comedian Chonda Pierce live. Wow! What a show. She was hilarious and she could sing. I like her message.

Sorta excited for this week, Saturday is the annual love day. June 26. If you don't know what I'm talking about, let me explain. Back in 2006, I had a dream that revealed to me that this was the day that the love of my life would make contact with me, and I would know they were the one. Hoping this year that the one contacts me but I'm putting it in God's hands. :)

Until next time,
let your actions speak louder than your words.
