Colorado Trip!!!
So my Youth group gets to go to Colorado until Friday!!!!!!!!!! Tomorrow I have to be at my church at 4:30 a.m. Not really looking forward to that so I'm just going to stay up until then and sleep on the charter bus. Hey we're going to be on there for about 14 or 15 hrs. It's going to be weird not going to the church camp in Maypearl that I've been going to every year since I was 8. But God has called our Youth group to Colorado. I'm glad that we're going though, b/c we're the first youth group ever to go to Colorado for a like a camp/mission trip to go see Jamie Montera. (Our evangalist) I can't wait to see what God has instore for me and the Youth Group!!! All I know is that when we get back, we are going to come back on Fire for God more than ever and our heart are going to different. Colorado Trip in less than 17 hrs!!!!!!!!

Footsteps in the sand (fav. poem ever)
One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there was one only.
This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from anguish,
sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints,
so I said to the Lord,
“ You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life
there has only been one set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?”
The Lord replied,
“ The years when you have seen only one set of footprints,
my child, is when I carried you.”

Books of the week
I found these books in the library and fell in love with the first book. Now I'm on the second and I'm so excited to read the rest of the series!! I found out they're making a movie of these books too!!! City of Bones is suppost to come out Aug. 23, 2013, I'm deffenly going and seeing these movie's.
Equally startled by her ability to see them, the murderers explain themselves as Shadowhunters: a secret tribe of warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. Within twenty-four hours, Clary's mother disappears and Clary herself is almost killed by a grotesque demon.
But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know....
To complicate matters, someone in New York City is murdering Downworlder children. Is Valentine behind the killings — and if he is, what is he trying to do? When the second of the Mortal Instruments, the Soul-Sword, is stolen, the terrifying Inquisitor arrives to investigate and zooms right in on Jace. How can Clary stop Valentine if Jace is willing to betray everything he believes in to help their father?
As Clary uncovers more about her family's past, she finds an ally in mysterious Shadowhunter Sebastian. With Valentine mustering the full force of his power to destroy all Shadowhunters forever, their only chance to defeat him is to fight alongside their eternal enemies. But can Downworlders and Shadowhunters put aside their hatred to work together? While Jace realizes exactly how much he's willing to risk for Clary, can she harness her newfound powers to help save the Glass City — whatever the cost?
Who will fall in love, and who will find their relationship torn apart?
Who will betray everything they ever believed in?
Love. Blood. Betrayal. Revenge.
In the heart-pounding fourth installment of the Mortal Instruments series, the stakes are higher than ever.
City of Bones
When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder — much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Clary knows she should call the police, but it's hard to explain a murder when the body disappears into thin air and the murderers are invisible to everyone but Clary.Equally startled by her ability to see them, the murderers explain themselves as Shadowhunters: a secret tribe of warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. Within twenty-four hours, Clary's mother disappears and Clary herself is almost killed by a grotesque demon.
But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know....
City of Ashes
Clary Fray just wishes that her life would go back to normal. But what's normal when you're a demon-slaying Shadowhunter, your mother is in a magically induced coma, and you can suddenly see Downworlders like werewolves, vampires, and faeries? If Clary left the world of the Shadowhunters behind, it would mean more time with her best friend, Simon, who's becoming more than a friend. But the Shadowhunting world isn't ready to let her go — especially her handsome, infuriating, newfound brother, Jace. And Clary's only chance to help her mother is to track down rogue Shadowhunter Valentine, who is probably insane, certainly evil — and also her father.To complicate matters, someone in New York City is murdering Downworlder children. Is Valentine behind the killings — and if he is, what is he trying to do? When the second of the Mortal Instruments, the Soul-Sword, is stolen, the terrifying Inquisitor arrives to investigate and zooms right in on Jace. How can Clary stop Valentine if Jace is willing to betray everything he believes in to help their father?
City of Glass
To save her mother's life, Clary must travel to the City of Glass, the ancestral home of the Shadowhunters — never mind that entering the city without permission is against the Law, and breaking the Law could mean death. To make things worse, she learns that Jace does not want her there, and her best friend, Simon, has been thrown in prison by the Shadowhunters, who are deeply suspicious of a vampire who can withstand sunlight.As Clary uncovers more about her family's past, she finds an ally in mysterious Shadowhunter Sebastian. With Valentine mustering the full force of his power to destroy all Shadowhunters forever, their only chance to defeat him is to fight alongside their eternal enemies. But can Downworlders and Shadowhunters put aside their hatred to work together? While Jace realizes exactly how much he's willing to risk for Clary, can she harness her newfound powers to help save the Glass City — whatever the cost?
City of Fallen Angels
Who will fall in love, and who will find their relationship torn apart?
Who will betray everything they ever believed in?
Love. Blood. Betrayal. Revenge.
In the heart-pounding fourth installment of the Mortal Instruments series, the stakes are higher than ever.
City of Lost Souls
The New York Times bestselling Mortal Instruments continues—and so do the thrills and danger for Jace, Clary, and Simon. Can the lost be reclaimed? What price is too high to pay for love? Who can be trusted when sin and salvation collide? Love. Blood. Betrayal. Revenge. Darkness threatens to claim the Shadowhunters in the harrowing fifth book of the Mortal Instruments series.Monday, May 14, 2012
My life and how it's going.
Just sitting here in photojournalism class with nothing to do. I'm so tired I might just fall asleep. Not ready for world history next class. We have to do a stupid power point and then present it. I just want this school year to end and become a junior. On the up side I heard that we might be getting our yearbooks on Thursday!! I love yearsbooks!! Can't wait for everyone to sign it!! I think my family had a pretty good Mother's Day yesterday! When to church then the youth made lunch and served it to the mom's and their families. It was pretty delishious. :) Then around 3 o'clock had my mom's family come over and we just had a good time. I just have to say, I am so lucky to have a hardworking, loving, caring, and beautiful mother. I love you mom sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!! I guess that's all I have to say for now!

Spotify
One day last week I noticed some people on facebook were posting music from a website thing called Spotify. It's a thing you download to your computer and you can get free song on the computer. It's kindof like ITunes but you can listen to all the song. Spotify is only for your computer thought. You can't get free songs for IPod or anything. Now I'm obsessed with it. Everytime I get on the computer I automatically go to this website. If you like to listen to music to the computer I recommend this site, it's free.

Book of the week- Shadow Falls Series
To the outside world Shadow Falls is just an ordinary camp for troubled teens nestled deep in the woods. But the kids at Shadow Falls are far from ordinary. They’re supernatural. And from the moment high school student Kylie Galen enters this world of fairies, vampires, werewolves, and shapeshifters, she’s had one burning question: What am I? With her new powers, new friends, and two sexy paranormal boys vying for her attention, Kylie’s whole world is about to change. A spectacular debut from author C. C. Hunter, the Shadow Falls series follows Kylie as she learns to control her powers, confront her heritage, and face her destiny.
The Shadow Falls Series are my pick for the books of the week. I had some extra money over spring break so I went to Target to see if they had any good books and I found this series. Now I'm absolutly in love with them!!!
Born at Midnight- One night Kylie Galen finds herself at the wrong party, with the wrong people, and it changes her life forever. Her mother ships her off to Shadow Falls—a camp for troubled teens, and within hours of arriving, it becomes painfully clear that her fellow campers aren’t just “troubled.” Here at Shadow Falls, vampires, werewolves, shapshifters, witches and fairies train side by side—learning to harness their powers, control their magic and live in the normal world.
Kylie’s never felt normal, but surely she doesn’t belong here with a bunch of paranormal freaks either. Or does she? They insist Kylie is one of them, and that she was brought here for a reason. As if life wasn’t complicated enough, enter Derek and Lucas. Derek’s a half-fae who’s determined to be her boyfriend, and Lucas is a smokin’ hot werewolf with whom Kylie shares a secret past. Both Derek and Lucas couldn’t be more different, but they both have a powerful hold on her heart.
Even though Kylie feels deeply uncertain about everything, one thing is becoming painfully clear—Shadow Falls is exactly where she belongs…
Awake at Dawn- From the moment Kylie Galen arrived at Shadow Falls Camp, she’s had one burning question: What am I? Surrounded by vampires, werewolves, shape-shifters, fairies and witches, Kylie longs to figure out her own supernatural identity…and what her burgeoning powers mean. And now she’ll need them more than ever, because she’s being haunted by a new spirit who insists that someone Kylie knows—and loves—will die before the end of the summer. If only she only knew who she was supposed to save. And how…
But giving Kylie the most trouble is her aching heart. Gorgeous werewolf Lucas left camp with another girl, but he’s still visiting Kylie in her dreams. And Derek, a sexy half Fae who’s always been there for her when she needed him, is pushing to get more serious—and growing impatient, especially when Lucas returns. Kylie knows she needs to decide between the boys, and it’s tearing her up inside.
Yet romance will have to wait, because something from the dark side of the supernatural world is hiding in Shadow Falls. It’s about to threaten everything she holds dear…and bring her closer to her destiny
Taken at Dusk- Kylie Galen wants the truth so badly she can taste it. The truth about who her real family is, the truth about which boy she’s meant to be with—and the truth about what her emerging powers mean. But she’s about to discover that some secrets can change your life forever…and not always for the better.
Just when she and Lucas are finally getting close, she learns that his pack has forbidden them from being together. Was it a mistake to pick him over Derek? And it’s not just romance troubling Kylie. An amnesia-stricken ghost is haunting her, delivering the frightful warning, someone lives and someone dies. As Kylie races to unravel the mystery and protect those she loves, she finally unlocks the truth about her supernatural identity, which is far different—and more astonishing—than she ever imagined
Whispers at Moonrise- (It's coming out on Oct.2, 2012) At a camp filled with vampires, werewolves, and fairies, Kylie Galen has always struggled to figure out what she is. Now she finally knows the truth—but she's left with more questions than answers. She doesn’t have a clue what her heritage means or how to harness her newfound powers. All she knows is that she needs to sort out her feelings for Derek, the sexy half-Fae who just confessed his love, and Lucas, her werewolf boyfriend who seems more committed to his pack than to their relationship. All the while, Kylie's dealing with a group of underground rogues who want her dead and a mysterious grandfather who makes it clear he doesn’t trust the FRU . . . or Shadow Falls. Soon Kylie will have to choose: Will she stay with the new family she’s formed at Shadow Falls, or will she leave with her grandfather and embrace her destiny

WHERE I BELONG ----- BUILDING 429
Sometimes it feels like I'm watching from the outside
Sometimes it feels like I'm breathing but am I alive
I won't keep searching for answers that aren't here to find
All I know is I'm not home yet
This is not where I belong
Take this world and give me Jesus
This is not where I belong
So when the walls come falling down on me
And when I'm lost in the current of a raging sea
I have this blessed assurance holding me.
All I know is I'm not home yet
This is not where I belong
Take this world and give me Jesus
This is not where I belong
When the earth shakes I wanna be found in You
When the lights fade I wanna be found in You
All I know is I'm not home yet
This is not where I belong
Take this world and give me Jesus
This is not where I belong
[x2]
Where I belong, where I belong
Where I belong, where I belong
Sometimes it feels like I'm breathing but am I alive
I won't keep searching for answers that aren't here to find
All I know is I'm not home yet
This is not where I belong
Take this world and give me Jesus
This is not where I belong
So when the walls come falling down on me
And when I'm lost in the current of a raging sea
I have this blessed assurance holding me.
All I know is I'm not home yet
This is not where I belong
Take this world and give me Jesus
This is not where I belong
When the earth shakes I wanna be found in You
When the lights fade I wanna be found in You
All I know is I'm not home yet
This is not where I belong
Take this world and give me Jesus
This is not where I belong
[x2]
Where I belong, where I belong
Where I belong, where I belong

We bought a Zoo
Had a movie night with the family tonight and we watched We Bought a Zoo!!! I like the movie because of course the animals and I've always wanted to be a zoo keeper. I give it 3 1/2 stars out of 5.
WE BOUGHT A ZOO is a movie based on the true story of a reporter who buys a small zoo to start life over for his family after his wife died. WE BOUGHT A ZOO is a heartwarming, redemptive, well-made drama about a family uniting together to overcome a tragedy, but it does have some foul language and dysfunctional family moments requiring caution for pre-teen children.
Snow Cones!!!
I have to say it, I FREAKING LOVE SNOW CONES!!!!!! I love them sssssssssssoooooooooooooo much. Tuesday I had my very first snow cone of the year. Loved it! My favorite kinds are Sour Grape, Tigers Blood, and Sour Apple. I usually get Sour Grape though. They are my most favorite spring/summer treat. I love to eat one right by my Jamies pool and go swimming. What's your favorite snow cone???

My friends
My best friend is the one who brings out the best of me.
- Henry Ford
- Henry Ford
A best friend is like a four leaf clover, hard to find and lucky to have.
A true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart.
Thick and thin, tall and small, fast and slow. Tell me who is always there for you. I am sure you know. Your best friend, of course, don’t let him or her go.

Friday and Sunny! Best cats in the world. :D
Friday and Sunny
Sunny
Friday
These are my pet cats. I love them so much! Sunny the orange cat I have had him for about 4 or 5 yrs. We found him at my Jamies' house one night when we were swimming. He came walking out of their woods behind their house and I fell head over hills for him. A week later he was still coming around my Jamies' house, so my Grampy brought him over to my house to give it to me, Luke, and Shae. I was so excited! I absoutly love cats and my cat that I had before him died about 2yrs before. Then about 2 yrs ago around Thanksgiving at our house I was in my room drawing or watching t.v or something when my sister, brother, and cousin come storming in my room saying they found a kitten under a bush and they wanted my try to get it. I was so excited b/c I was hopeing that my parents would let me have the kitten. So I end up getting the kitten. He was so small and soft and my heart melted every time I looked at him. So that's how I got my cats.

Animals
I love taking photos of animals! These photos were taken at the Caldwell Zoo in Tyler, Tx. I love going to the zoo because I love looking at all the animals and how they are all unique in their own way. I think it’s amazing how God made them all. I want to help animals when their hurt, sick, or anything else, that’s why I want to become a Vet Tech. I thought these photos turned out beautiful in black and white don’t you think.

My sister Shae.
Having a sister is like having a best friend you can't get rid of. You know whatever you do, they'll still be there. ~Amy Li
If you don't understand how a woman could both love her sister dearly and want to wring her neck at the same time, then you were probably an only child. ~Linda Sunshine
When sisters stand shoulder to shoulder, who stands a chance against us? ~Pam Brown
The mildest, drowsiest sister has been known to turn tiger if her sibling is in trouble. ~Clara Ortega

I have to say I love this little girl who I call sister even though sometimes I want to strangle her. As we grow older we grow closer. More and more each day. She loves to play soccar, sing, and dance. We might me total opposites but I think we're becomeing best friends. I might not tell her I love her a lot or show kindness to her a lot, but I can't help but saying I love this little girl. I LOVE YOU SHAE!!!

Nature
Nature's Way
Upon a nice mid-spring day,
Let's take a look at Nature's way,
Breathe the scent of nice fresh air,
Feel the breeze within your hair.
The grass will poke between your toes,
Smell the flowers with your nose,
Clouds form shapes within the skies,
And light will glisten from your eyes.
Hear the buzzing of the bees,
Climb the tallest willow trees,
Look across the meadow way,
And you shall see a young deer play.
Pick the daisies as they grow,
Watch a gentle cold stream flow,
Know the sounds of water splash,
Catch its glimmer in a flash.
When altogether all seems sound,
Lay yourself upon the ground,
Take a moment to inhale,
And listen to Nature tell her tale...
I just want to say I love Spring time. I love to see nature bloom and blossom. These are some photos I took around my house to just show the beauty of nature.
