blehh

anybody know of any good Bible verses??

I want to find some more that I can memorize (:

PLUS....

I don't know.

anything exciting happened to anybody lately??

I did see When in Rome which was exciting.

exhaustion.

yeah.

ugg but guess what? I got a phone! (:

yay! so I need your number... mine is 562.324.4465

also, please be praying for me... these past two weeks asthma has been reeeaaallllyyy bad to the point where I can't even say head's up or whatever without running out of breath. not good for somebody who is supposed to have very mild, sports induced asthma. hopefully it will get better though!

aanndddd... wednesday night tonite!! (: ♥

my first heat stroke...

today i started.............
BAND CAMP!! haha and, i've already gotten heat stroke! (i'm not exagerating)
it was really scary actually; you know when you stand up too fast and all those little black dots kind of swim across your eyes?? well, i was just standing there out on the soccer field (cause that's where we were practicing marching) and all of a sudden those little black dots started appearing. and they didn't disappear! it just got worse and worse until i couldn't see at all! and then, on top of that, my ears got all hot and all of a sudden i could barely hear! my skin felt all clammy and my arms were so weak i could barely hold them up. this kept up for about a minute and a half and i couldn't do anything about it cause we were standing at attention (which is where you can't move or talk or do anything; you're frozen.) then, thank the Lord, my vision started to come back and i could hear, so i broke the rules of band camp and asked if i could get some water. and that is how i got my first heat stroke.

other than that, band camp has been great! everyone is super nice and really funny and it is just a good enviorment. i love band camp (:

humee...

well i didn't go to hume so while all my friends were having a blast up there, i was down here doing nothing.
AND school starts in 10 days so the countdown is on!! ehhh i'm soo nervous!

what to do

well i'm up in fresno with some incredible friends but i feel like i haven't been able to spend time with my grandparents who are so gracious about everything, because of my friends... pray i'll get everything worked out. i don't want to hurt my grandparent's feelings by spending the whole entire day before we leave with my friends instead of hanging out with them. sighhhh

oh, summer how I love thee

my brother's friend just ate a worm...


and i have a new cell phone sooo,, i need your guy's numbers!!! pleeaassee comment and leave you number (:

haha also on today's agenda, CANNONBALL at the wilson's house with my church! that should be a blast and hopefully, i will be able to see all of my wonderful friends (:

while I'm on the subject of church, this past Monday I went to a Dodger's/Padres game with my church and needless to say, the Padres whooped butt. I had a few peanut shells and assorted hard candy thrown at my by loyal Dodgers fans (aka Mr. Olmos) but it was worth it in the end.(: My brother and my dad are going to another Dodgers/Padres game and hopefully the outcome will be the same!

i can't believe that summer is almost over. it's quite depressing...
haha on a different note,
padres game (well it's advertised as a dogers game) with my church today!! :) go padres! haha anybody gonna be there??

sunburnt

the sun
shining down on me
the waves
crashing over me
the heat suffocating me
and then i find,
i'm sunburnt.

sheesh.

ok it is waaaayyyyy too hot to be playing soccer.

verses I enjoy ❤

Phillipians 2:14-15 "Do everything without complaining or arguing so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God in a crooked and depraved generation in which you shine like stars in the universe."

Ecclesiastes 11:9-10 "Young people, it's wonderful to be young! Enjoy every minute of it. Do everything you want to do; take it all in. But remember that you must give an account to God for everything you do. So refuse to worry, and keep you body healthy. But remember that youth, with a whole life before you is meaningless."

1 Corinthians 10:13 "But remember that the temptations that come into you life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will keep the temptation form becoming so strong that you can't stand up against it. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you will not give into it.

Colossians 2:8 "Don't let others spoil your faith and joy with their philosophies, their wrong and shallow answers built on men's thoughts and ideas, instead of what Christ has said.

Matthew 7:1-2 "Do not judge others and you will not be judged. For you will be treated as you treat others. The standard you use in judging is the standard by which you will be judged.

Matthew 7:7-8 "Keep on asking and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be open.

such a lovely sport

ok for some reason i was in a bad mood so i wrote down my thoughts on the sport of soccer. Specifically, my soccer camp. I had it written down on a separate piece of paper and looking over it, it's a lot more honest than i'm usually comfortable with but whatever.



soccer, soccer, soccer... oi vey, i'm gonna be behind by soooo stinking much. dangit. :( owell, i'll just have to try extra super duper hard. should i even try out though? it's not like i'm thouroughly enjoying myself. heck, i'm having a miserable time, i just don't want to admit it. geeze like seriously, this stupid camp is no camp at all. it's really just some way to show the coaches what you got which would be fine except for i came to the camp because all my skills ran away from me in the 2 years i haven't picked up a ball. ugg. it really is kind of humiliating, you know. going out there with all the super pro girls who can do all these tricks with their feet and perform just about everything the coach throws at them. hah. and then there's me. now don't get me wrong. i don't suck. i just look like a 3 year old next to these girls and it sure doesn't help that i'm a freshman. and you can tell that the girls are trying to be nice but all they're really doing on the inside is sizing you up. giving you glances like you aren't worth anything. and you're probably going oh sure, but believe me, i've seen them so it. oh gosh. and then there are the coaches. you know, they said that there are four open spots on the girl's JV team this year. FOUR! i really don't think i have a chance. but anyways, they expect you to already know everything and they expect you to be able to fake somebody out and then pass it (the ball) diagonally across the field while recieving another ball to shoot at the goal. we had to do it at the last practice two weeks ago. on the 2nd day of camp. the whole thing is very exhausting. but i won't quit the camp. that would be stupid. i might not try out but i won't quit the camp. AND on top of all this craziness with the camp, germany LOST to spain :( it's a sad, sad, day in linneaville.

argh.

hey everybody! haha well i haven't had internet this whole entire trip so i haven't been able to check anything or blog or whatever and even now i am using a tv as a computer in my hotel room :) i won't bore you with all the details of my trip but some hilights were:
... and now i have to go have dinner. hopefully i can get back on and if i don't, see you in a few days!!

day #1...

I woke up at 3:00 in the morning, got up, put some clothes on and headed to the airport (with my family of course.) Onece we got to the airport, we got our baggage "checked-in", went through security, waited for a bit, and then loaded onto the plane at about 6am. Then for the next 5 or 6 hours, we flew to Washington D.C. Once we got to washington D.C., we waited around for three hours, ate some great burgers, and played some card games. By this time I had lost track of time. Anyways, we boarded the plane and took a seven or eight hour plane ride to coppenhagen. (sorry, i don't know if that is spelled right.) once we touched down in coppenhagen on Friday, we took a few trams, had some trouble getting train tickets, almost boarded the wrong train, got on the right train, and zoomed over to malmo. We met up with our relative Marcus and he drove us to his house where we met up with the rest of his family, his wife, Yvonne, and his two daughters, Alice (3) and Livette (2 months). We spent the rest of the day walking on the beach, and going to Ikea. :) The jet lag was really bad and I fell asleep during a conversation with my mother and her great-aunt. whoops. andyways, the sun was up until about 10:00/ 10:30 and I fell asleep at 9 thinking it was only 5.

I will blog tomorrow about today! :)

and also, be praying that my cousin amanda and her family found somewhere to stay overnight on their way to the airport. They missed their flight to Malmo because a tanker spilled gas all over the highway in Germany near Frankfurt so the traffic got too slow for them to get to the airport on time. Their house was 3 hours away so it was easier to stay overnight in Frankfurt then go back to their house and make the whole trip again the next day. *Hopefully they will be able to meet us tomorrow!

yay for Sweden!!

i leave for sweden today (well technically tomorrow) at 3 in the morning!!
here are some more things to look forward to :)

Prince Carl Philip!


Swedish Pancakes!


H&M!


amanda carey! (haha and the rest of her family)

(sorry the picture is a bit large)

liseberg!


the beaches!


and just Sweden in general!

first day of....

SOCCER.

ugg. not that I don't like it, I just feel so insignificant and lame next to all these club soccer players... like seriously, I have not one idea of what I am doing... ehh I have not played in like 3 years...

ON THAT OTHER BRIGHT SIDE,
most of the girls are really nice!! some of the people I know that are trying out are:
jenna r.
alyssa
nicole
vanessa s.
and this girl whose name I have forgotten but who I got to know at a soccer meeting!! :)
haha yep.
there is this one girl who I think is a senior and who scares the heck out of me and this other girl who I think plays soccer who I know is a senior and who likes to boss people around... except I guess she's above talking to freshman because she just looks at us in disdain.. yay highschool :) lol
and so yeah... I have to go pack for sweden because in like 30 hours, I will be on my way to the airport!!!!!!

here are some pictures of the amazingly wonderful things that will be in Sweden:
swedish meatballs!


swedish fish!!


and I will post more but I think my computer might burst into flames soon

Happy Father's Day! :D

yay! so high school wasn't so bad :) the freshmen were split up into groups of 2 or 3 with 1 or 2 high schoolers and then asked questions like:
what high school are you going to?
team edward or team jacob?
fav. place to eat? & fav. thing to get there?
worst gift ever received?
hidden talents?
what do you want to be when you grow up?
and then the high schoolers gave us advice.

I was in a group with Julia Thometz and Jennalee Johnson and our high schooler was Bethany (I think...) it was pretty cool :)
then, I went and helped out in King's Kids which is the classroom for the 5 and 6 year olds with Hannah Morris. I officially adore 5 and 6 year olds. :)

yep.

I GOT A 4.0!!!!!!

haha just had to get that out. :) and yeahh... tomorrow, I start high school at church! eep! I have no idea what to expect so wish me good luck!



oh yeah! I leave for Sweden in like 4 days so if you could pray that my family and I get there safely without any bad stuff happening to us like getting in a plane crash or loosing our luggage or one of us getting left behind at the airport, that would be great because if it were to happen to somebody, it would happen to my family. :)

God bless!!

burn copier

you copied my burn! you know what that makes you? a burn copier! and you know what burn copiers do? burn copies!! wait, copy burns!! haha i love you jennalee joy johnson :)

p.s. this is goin on fb :)

bowling(:

On Friday, I had Meghan Buchanan over and we bought Little Ceasers Pizza (I have no idea how to spell that) and then McDonald's ice cream(: We then proceeded to have a picnic in my bedroom while listening to oldies. While we were enjoying our pizza (and did I mention we had crazy bread?) Meghan decided to text Reid and about us eating ice cream because of a cross country joke. He told us that he was in Nevada playing bowling. Now, the funny thing was that Meghan and I were thinking about getting together a group of people to go bowling, and of all the things in the world, Reid was bowling! (haha he got an 80 with bumpers) Anyways, we called about ten people from our list of like a hundred and asked them if they wanted to go bowling. Only like 3 of them answered, only one saying yes. So, we texted some more people and pretty soon we had a decent group. Meghan and I left at about 2:40 to go walk with Ryan to the bowling place because he didn't have a ride and on the way, we almost got lost in North Hills, had to call my mom for help, found a lizard, and named the lizard Fred. Once we finally got to the park where Ryan was waiting for us, it was like 3:10. Whoops! We had planned to go bowling at 3:00. (: While we were walking to the bowling place, I got the brilliant idea to ask my mother for a ride and Meghan, at the same time, was getting calls from people asking where we were and if it was alright if they were going to be late. She started laughing and said we were on our way, yes, it's alright if you are gonna be a little late, etc. When my mother finally picked us up, it took her about 5 minutes to get us to the bowling alley, which was good because it was 3:27. Ryan, Meghan, and I all walked in, joined the rest of the group, and had a wonderful time bowling. Julian was a crack-up, Jennifer was as blonde as ever, Kylee Cook tried crazy ways of throwing the ball, Lauren beat everybody except Ryan, Ryan got like a 150, and Meghan and I rolled gutterballs the whole entire game.
It was a good Friday.
AND
that was my story for the day. (:
(P.S. if you are reading this and weren't texted about it, you were on the list and we just ran out of time before we could ask you, I promise... our list was huge... it took up a whole whiteboard.)

like the new look??

haha yeah i decided to change things up a little bit.... so, ya like it?? (:

SCHOOL'S OUT!

I'm about to make Swedish pancakes! I'll eat some for you(:

AND graduation was wonderful! i am now officially a highschooler.... scary.. haha anyways now I have the whole summer to:
hang out with friends
eat icecream
go to the beach
go to the movies
get sunburnt
go to Sweden!

graduation!

oh goodness... i'm freaking out... pray i don't fall on my face and that my duet goes alright! :/

(:

so this weekend i went on the 8th grade retreat and had a blast!! haha i am now thoroughly sunburned, though not as sunburned as jennalee (:

one more day of school!!
:?

8th grade ditch day(:

ahhh!! so tomorrow is 8th grade ditch day!!! (: i'm gonna be spending the day at hannah morris's house with anna and kendall (and hannah) (: hehe we might be going to color me mine and we will be watching a bunch of movies while getting ready for our 8TH GRADE RETREAT!!!! yay!
i'm tired so.. bye! (for now)

food for thought

When I was in elementary school, I remember I was never involved in drama and i never always was in the center of all the gossip or whatever but it never affected my friendships. Now, it seems like if you're not involved with drama or if you don't have a piece of gossip to add to the conversation, it's like you're not fun to hang out with.
I don't know. It made me think.

oh, the weekend...

well, this weekend was sort of disappointing and sort of amazing. i was scheduled to go to a graduation party and a tea party and a senior prom and a birthday party and a movie BUT instead, i got hauled up to fresno for my grandparents' 50th anniversary. this isn't completely bad because i had a completely wonderful time with my family celebrating the anniversary at the elephant bar and i got to spend a day sailing with my closest friends from camp and then i got to have a sleepover with them, but i really wish i could have gone to some of the stuff down here...
haha owell, i'll just have to make up for it during the summer! (:

8th grade banquet(:

SO. last night was my eith grade banquet and it was AH-MAZING!! we started out with an hour of pictures before and an hour of pictures afterward and inbetween was everything from delicious food to a candy stand for the students to TONS of door prizes to wonderful student entertainment to a clean comedian!
now back up a little bit to the student entertainment.
there were some really good duets and an awesome clarinet solo but my favorite act BY FAR was the everything drama by some of my really good friends who call themselves the performance choir(: Jennalee Joy Johnson played the part of the main girl and Jeffery Hubbard played Jesus. they made me cry. which is saying something because I don't cry. at all. ever. (well except for this one time on the music tour but that's a different story.) anyways, i think they could audition for america's got talent or something and probably win.
on a side note,
heights, i really don't want to leave... i have made so many great friends and now i have to leave them all for high school. shoot, i'm gonna start crying again. what is wrong with me?! ugg.

banquet! (:

BANQUET TOMORROW!!!!!! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! i am super excited! and i get to help em-c the night!(:

7 more days!

track(:

So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10♥

ahhhh thank you so much God!
ok so three days ago I had a track meet with my school and overall, the girls got 3rd place and the guys got 2nd place! (: there is NO WAY I could have done it without God's help!

then, two days ago I went to a French fashion show at Sonora that Anna's brother was in and his group had the theme of The Future. He had to wear sparkly stuff all over his face and a sparkly vest jacket thing(: it was hilarious.

and now I'm tired plus have to go write an essay so goodbye(:

13 days...

There are officially like 13 more day of school and it is depressing....
Don't get me wrong, I am sooo happy summer is here, I might tan!!! (hehe probably not) and I can sleep in and hang out with friends and not have homework and all the other wonderful things that come with summertime(:
BUT
This means I only have 13 more days with all my Heights friends before most of them go off to stinking Whittier Christian... I'm so gonna cry on the last day of school.. Thank goodness for waterproof mascara!

On a side note, Anna's brother, David, is gonna be in a futuristic fashion show at Sonora for his french class which should be some good entertainment on Friday(:

sorry this post is really long(:
