tickets!!

we just bought airline tickets today! i could not be any happier :D im so happy i dont even know what to say :D

So i just realized...

I just realized that, having my birthday in July, I have always had a summer birthday. But in Africa the seasons are flipped so for my 15th birthday it will be winter! I dont know what im going to do in the winter for my birthday! I have always done things outside for my birthday. I dont know if Kruger will have very many animals out but that could be something i could do(:
Maybe Jen and Jeremy can help me out :). Any ideas anybody??

Our house echos...

We have been cleaning, cleaning, cleaning! And just in time! We have 2 people coming to look at our house today! After being blown off by the first company Kwik Cash on friday, knowing that there were two different people coming today raised my hopes significitly! Please be praying that we get a contract soon! :D

To the dump...

We got our rentable dumpster today!! I've never been so excited for a giant dumpster in my life! Its excited because we have it for 2 weeks and this is the time period when were trashing anything thats junk(: YAY!

I got it from my Mamma...

Well some of you may know that my Mom is kinda clutzy. In the best way possible of course.(: Shes told me about her nickname growing up.... Moose. Shes broken her pinkie toe on the same foot more than 7 times. Most of the time on things that dont move. But im no better. Haha!
I have had many clutzy moments myself including today. Just recently today i was walking down the hallway in our nice clean house(: and i have been wearing sweat pants that are very wrong. I was walking into the bathroom to do my hair when OUCH! My big toe got caught in the hole of my sweat pants and i twisted my ankle! It hurts but i just thought i would try and brighten your day with painful funnys(:

First day of school...

Yes, thats right. Today was my first official day of homeschooling. While i have been working my tail off in "home economics" ( otherwise know as cleaning the house so we can sell it) and reading, it wasnt really considered by me anyways to be "real school". I was excited and spent a maximum of 3 hours on 3 different lessons in history and 1 LONG lesson in science and a science quiz. So far its okay(: but just like all school it will eventually become VERY boring. haha!

The answer to the random question on my profile...

Well this was to long to write on my profile question thing so the question was (although not really a question) Write a story about a bald frog with a wig. So here it is(:


There once was a frog name Myron, who lived in a far away castle in the city of Sensadelphia. Although a prince, Myron was the victim of premature balding. And within a few weeks of his 16th birthday he was completely bald! So being of royal status he ordered for an immediate wig fitting.
First he tryed on a curly one, then he looked at the straight one. Next he found the long wig and put it on his head. "NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!" Myron shouted in frustration. "I cannont be a handsome prince with terrible hair! I must set out to find the BEST wig in aaaalll the kingdoms of Tez."
To be continued...

Fear...

We all have at least one or two. Some of them are rational like a fear of being kidnapped or what not. Some of them however are not rational as in a fear of all clowns. But no matter what we all have them. Recently our wonderful youth pastor Jake spoke about fears and some that we might have as teenagers. He talked about typical teenage fears and some other fears. And i realized my biggest fear that night.


Last summer on our churches way to church camp i sat by a girl named Tanya. We talked practically the whole way there and got to know eachother and i could see a relationship growing.
A few weeks later i was at wednesday night church and one of the prayer requests was for Tanya. And my regroup leader later informed us that she was diagnosed with a brain tumor.
She had been at school and was haveing a horrible headache. Then one thing led to another and she was on her way to the hospital. When i heard this i was shocked. It scared me that we had just become friends and she was sick like this now. We went and visited her in the hospital and she seemed so sick but she wouldnt let anyone know she was in pain. It was kinda hard for me.

Last November my aunt was diagnosed with brain cancer. After loosing an uncle i was heartbroken. And absolutley terrified for my mom. I knew how hard it was for her when my uncle passed away and now. She has always been so strong and i was worried that i would let her down by being weak and being upset about the situation. So i acted like it wasnt happening. She coped well but anytime i was away from anybody i would cry. I didnt feel like there was anyone i could turn to to talk about it. I was to scared to get close to anyone because everyone it felt like was getting sick. And up until Wednesday night i was still scared. In a way i lost everyone that used to be close to me. They were still close but i didnt want to tell them about anything that was bad in my life. I didnt mind hearing theyre problems and comforting them but i didnt want to show any weakness at all. And after a while it was not only my mom that i was trying to be strong for but everyone around me. I could not would not let them know i was hurt. Even physically it got to the point where i didnt want people to know if i was in pain. I finallly gave that up though. On wednesday i just went up to Christene and told her all of it. She prayed for me and i cried the whole time. And it felt good to not have to carry all of it anymore. I realize im going to have to start over in finding the people i want to trust to tell especially after we move. But im glad it all happened this way.

We're on our way...

Lately ive really been realizing how close we actually are! Our house is so empty now that it echoes!!! Escpecially when the dogs bark. haha! But i think the garage sale last weekend (which by the way went really good!) really helped me realize that we are moving faster every day. It was a time when i could physically and mentally and emotionally release my possesions. It was exciting! I even asked to sell my tv that day(: I'm so ready to just give it all up. Ive told a couple people that one thing Im really excited about is getting rid of everything. I've noticed that just letting it all go is so refreshing. Im getting more excited day by day and Im ready to be there(:

Barking up the wrong tree...

Well as many of you know we have to give up our doberman boy. Jeter. And we also have to give up our chow-huskey mix. We believe we have homes for the both of them but lately its really been hitting me how much im going to miss them! Like my mom says"If your not a dog person you wont understand why its hard" but theyre apart of our family. I cry sometimes just thinking about what its going to be like without them.. but its something that we have to do in order to fullfill what God wants for us. So anyways. Please be praying for us!

All in a hard hard days work...

Wow! I never knew how hard it would be to clean our entire house! Ha. For the past couple of weeks weve been working our tails off! Since mom is now "retired" we kicked things into high gear! Mom wakes me up at about 8 or 9. Then we fill up 2 buckets from Home Depot with water, carry them into the room that were working on for the day, and start scrubbing! So far we have cleaned (from top to bottom literally!) my 2 rooms, the bathroom, front entry way, front living room, formal dining room, laundry room, half bath, the bar, and the big living room! (: Its really great to see all the progress. It makes me feel like its not going to be forever until we move haha! Sometimes it really seems that way though. However i know that it is way sooner than i expect!
So with sweat,tears,and a little blood, we are on our way(:
