August 15th's weather...

Was Sunny with a high of 75.... Have you heard the song? Look up High of 75 by Relient K :)

Random Pictures

Some say we're kinda crazy... I think I'd have to agree... but that's the only way I wanna be... (lyrics from Living for the Other Side by Capital Kings).

Here are some fun (and random, and crazy) pictures that I found on my computer while unloading the camera today... enjoy :) By the way, I may have already posted some of these, so just scroll past the ones you've seen before.

Cedar Point last year :)

Live long and prosper... and enjoy the trip to Disney last year with my cousins.

Well... this is Higher Than I, the band that will someday be changing its name.

Sarah and I, glowing at the Relient K concert last April

Now who could this be? Possibly a spy on an undercover mission at her cousins' house?

And how about her two assistant spies?

Faust, Midas, and Myself

Amazing song that I really like by Switchfoot - it's called Faust, Midas, and Myself. My thoughts are below but I'd recommend listening to the song first.

A heart that is made of gold can't really beat at all

Such a great line. The whole song is about chasing pleasure on this earth but missing out on the point. The point is the beauty in this life. God has blessed us with an incredible life, full of joy and love, and it's so easy to miss! We often chase our desires and get so caught up in them that we tell the rest of our life, the beauty God has given us, to 'just hold on a minute'. It doesn't stop.

And to quote another song I like...

It happens in a blink...

You can look that one up too, if you'd like. It's called Blink by Revive. :)

Happy Summer!

I've realized that a lot of my recent posts have been funny pictures and a post here and there with a picture of my going-ons. But I haven't talked very much in depth about my life now.

So... what's been going on with me? Well, I've been busy - way too busy for Summer :) We were up north for two weekends and that interrupted our Summer - causing it to seem much shorter. Add that to the cool weather (does Mr. Weather think it's Fall already? He's a bit ahead of himself!) and Summer has, metaphorically, flown away.

I'm beginning Segment Two of Driver's Ed tomorrow which means 1) this week isn't going to help the missing-Summer situation and 2) I can drive on my own soon! Soon being after I complete Segment 2, drive more night hours, take a road test, and my parents say yes.

And then there was Vacation Bible School a couple weeks ago, which also didn't help the missing-Summer situation. But it was awesome! God was present and was working in the kids (and us helpers') lives. Kids came to Christ, we all had a great week grounded in teachings of the Bible, I made some new friends, strengthened friendships with old ones, and had a fun week all around!

Anyway, I hope to be posting more in the Fall once I start up my schedule again. It's funny that I can make myself believe the same lie every school year - I'll be able to blog/do other things more regularly now that I'm on a normal schedule. Haha. I also somehow manage to convince myself every year that I will stick to my school routine and accomplish EVERY subject EVERY week. Another haha. I'm so glad I'm homeschooled :)

My life these days has been great! Blessed with time spent with friends and family. Blessed with the MOST AMAZING friends and family. Blessed with relaxation and summer. Blessed so much by the MOST AMAZING God.

Happy Summer, everyone!
