Family

Aren't families great. What are they there for, to annoy you, pick on you, make fun of you, hate you, love you. They are always their through both good and bad times. My family helps me through everything. I don't know what I would do without them. They will comfort me when I'm down, and laugh along with me. Even if they do make fun of me sometimes, sure whatever what else are they their for. To drive you insane? Well thats in the job description too i suppose. Eventually we will all look back at things like this and just laugh. How much these little things bother us now will just add to the humor. I would be completely lost without my parents and brothers, they made me who I am today. Crying or laughing there will always be memories. Remembered till the end of time, and kept fondly in my heart forever. Thank you for everything you have helped me through in life. You were always there for me and I really appreciate it. I love you guys tons!

XOXOXO

Thank You!

I'm sorry I keep forgetting you. What in the world was I thinking. Why didn't you tell me. Eventually it just came right up and hit me. This is terrible. Where have you been? What have you been up to? I feel horrible. How could I have done something like this to you. Just leaving you hanging like that. I should have come to you sooner. Is this how you always feel? Do I always do this to you? Why? I can't believe this, I'm sorry. You are the one who has helped me through everything. You saved my life. Now it's my turn to help you. I haven't been doing my job. I'll try harder I promise. I should be the one coming to you. Asking for help when needed. I'm glad you rescued me. Thank you! I will never forget you. Your the best and my arms are open wide, ready for anything you are willing to throw at me. Ready to share your word with everyone, preaching the gospel everywhere. Yet again, Thank You!

My Faith

Evolution is such a touchy topic. When it was the first thing that came up in biology this year it made me quite skeptical about the class. I don't really believe in evolution. I'm a christian and believe that God created the earth. I don't care what anyone else thinks, but thats what I believe. I don't see how people can't believe in God though. If you just read through the bible there is so much evidence everywhere about him coming to earth and rising again, the Christmas story, everything. I strongly believe in this and if anyone wants to talk about it with me I'm open. I may not seem like it but I'm a pretty hard core Christian. Attending church for Sunday school morning and evening services as well as Wednesday night. It has always been kind of hard for me to share a lot though because I'm a baptist and mostly everyone else in this community is either Lutheran or Catholic. I also always feel left out cause I don't go to the E-Free church here in town and thats where everyone else seems to go. I would like to share my testimony with anyone who is willing to keep reading this blog.

I was saved when I was 6. It was summer time because my older two brothers were both at bible camp. My other brother Tim and I were sitting in my parents bedroom doing devotions. Then my dad asked both of us if we knew where we would be going when we die. We said no, so my dad started sharing some bible verses with us and we ended up getting saved that night. That is probably the best night of my life. I would just like to reach out to everyone who is reading this right now. Where are you going when you die? Do you know for sure? If not I would love to talk to you and lead you to Christ. Also if you say well of course I'm going to heaven...think about it, are you really. Good works aren't what get you their. It's the excepting of God and opening and inviting Christ into your heart. I really hope with all my heart that if you are reading this you will consider these things and if you want to talk about it with me, I will be here for you, ready!

Walking for a Cure

Today was mothers day. I love this day cause my mom is never mad at me cause she is happy the whole day. Wow I'm just kidding. Well it's true but thats not why i love it. Every year my family and moms side of the extended family all go up to the Mall of America for the Race for the Cure. It is incredible. All the people their. I go insane every year. It just like a huge mosh pit of people everywhere around you. This is a 5K walk (they also have a run)for breast cancer. Thats probably why it's always on mothers day. My grandma had breast cancer and overcame it, and then passed away from another kind of caner. That is the main reason I like to do this walk. It is also very fun! Just being with all my family and hanging out. When you go there are also tons of huge vendor companies like Panara Bread, Yoplait, Caribou Coffee, Fuze, and many others that give out tons of free food to you. The problem is there are always so many people that it's impossible to make it to them. We of course find our ways though. I just love doing this walk it's fun and all the money goes to finding a cure. Which I think is super cool to. Well today after we went to the walk we decided to go to the Twins game too. Well that was the most boring game I have ever been too. Nothing happened the whole game until the last inning. I was like WOW...LAME. Don't get me wrong I love the Twins and I watch them every night on T.V. So I don't get bored by them very easily. They lost the game though. Even though they were ahead the whole time, the other team came back in the last inning. It was bad though cause we left about 12 people in scoring position the whole game that never got home. In the last inning though they got this sweet rally going with two outs. They had the bases loaded then they didn't get anyone else home so they lost 3-5. It was fun though cause the Twins are my favorite I love them!!!

From an Amzing Movie to an Amazing Musical

Everyone has seen the movie Legally Blonde right? Well if not you really need to it's great. This last Saturday I got the opportunity to go to the cities with my older brother and we went to Legally Blonde the Musical. It was pretty much AMAZING!! I think everyone needs to see it. All the song fit well and were catchy, they also fit the mood of the girly storyline too. The only thing that was disappointing was if you saw the movie it was exactly the same as the musical except the musical had songs in it. You knew exactly what was going to happened before it happened. That ok though cause it was still AMAZING!!! It was really fun to see all the people attending too. about 97% of the audience was girls and they dressed all out. Well we were at the Ordway so your suppose to dress up. But almost every girl I saw was wearing a dress or skirt and many of them had girly to like feather boas and tiaras and such. It was a fun experience. I would highly recommend this Musical to anyone!

Growing up Vs. Childishness

I'm kinda sad because on May 1st I was at Big 9 in Austin so I didn't have the chance to do any May baskets. That was always the highlight of my childhood. My brothers and I always made my mom buy us stuff to make May baskets. Even though she thought they were ridiculous. The best part was delivering them. It seemed to be a huge game of ding dong ditch. It was such a blast and we seemed to get a kick out of everything. Pretty sure if we did it now everyone would think we were ridiculous and need to grow up and get a life. Our world is too serious at times. There is no growing up that is necessary it the relaxing and childishness that needs to come back to everyone once and a while. Have a little fun and enjoy life! If you think people are being ridiculous and childish, go join them and it will bring to back to some of your old memories. And well of course you will end up having a blast!

Big 9 and It's Incredibleness

This last Friday Was the Big 9 Music Festival. It was so much fun. First of all everyone involved got to skip school and go preform. Secondly it was fun to hear some of the other bands and choirs-I didn't really care about the Orchestra's, no offense but that they don't seem to excite me. Anyways it was a super fun day. I would have to say that the bands performance wasn't completely horrible but it wasn't super good either. Well after all the schools were done performing they left. All those except for the people in the select Band, choir, and Orchestra. I was in the Select band and it was just completely amazing. Everyone should have stayed to hear all three of the select groups. Everyone did fantastic! One of the songs that the band got to play was about the Columbine in Colorado I think it was. The song is just so beautiful. Everyone in the audience was crying. I don't think I saw I dry eye. I couldn't believe it. Oh and of course being the sappy person I am when I see others Crying it makes me want to cry to. So my eyes started to water but luckily i held it back for our last song. I can't wait until Big 9 again next year it was so much fun and just an amazing experience. Also I really hope I can make it into the select group again because it is the best people in the Big 9 so of course everything sounds incredible!!!

So everyone knows the saying April showers brings May flowers. But have you ever heard April showrs bring mud!? I personally think that saying is very cute. No one probably thinks of that. so I'm at Luther College right now for my brothers senior voice recital. I'm kinda doing this on my dads phone. It's so weird. So this may take me forever. Anyways i was just thinking about poems and how you are either good at them or your not. There is really no inbetween. Personally i dont think i'm very good at writing them. Unless your the right person they probably wont even be interesting to you either. I just thought about trying to write one for this blog but then I was like um no i'm just going to blabber on about writing them in general. That shows you how cool I am....aren't. Yeah if only I was actually cool in our school. Just because i'm a jock doesn't give me the title of popular. €ven though it seemed to give everone else that title. Lame. Losts of the jocks in our school really piss me off. They are just so rude to everyone thats not popular. Ahhh that is so typical...sadly. Well i'm sick of typing on this stupid phone.It's so hard. Just so you know this blogg probably has like a million mistakes.
