OK, let me catch up.
Last week was Vacation Bible School at my church. I was wroking with 5th and 6th grades, and man, let me tell you, I love this group. Yea, they did like to talk, and sometime-OK, alot of times-when they weren't supposed to. And we had some boys that where troublemakers, but other then that, they where a really great group. Whatever they where doing, they gave it 100% (including trouble).
This week, I went swiming with friends, and then a Bible study that night. Wed. I had youth group, and yesterday we had a pool going away party for one of my really good friends and her mom. That was really fun. And then all of us girls went over to my best friends house and watched movies pretty much all night. We first watched "A Walk to Remember", and then "Ever After". During "Ever After" we got our midnight snak. My best friend's dad (who is one of the most amazing people I have ever met. That whole family is amazing) had ordered pizza for us (this was around 12:15, I think). I think we ate it in a matter if minutes, or so it seemed. After "Ever After" we watched "Sweet Home Alabama", the movie everyone fell asleep in, not because it was boring, but because we where tired. Everyone said I was the last one to go to sleep, but how would they know if they where asleep? But I think there right, because the last part I remember of the movie is later then the last they saw.
Mission trip is next week. We are going down to the boder, where the hurricane just hit, and working on a house or more, and VBS down there. Keep us in your prayers.

My life got kind of crazy since of last written, but it has been a good kind of crazy. Last week I went to my Grandparents house, and my and Grandma did alot of family history stuff (I am HUGE history buff, especially family history), which was really interesting.
Then this week, last Tuesday, I turned 16! Tuesday evening I had my birthday party, and about 25 people came. I had a pool party, and it was just loads of fun-especially watching people getting trown in! We had snakes, and a huge cookie cake for dessert. We didn't have much left over considering we had 25 people there!
I also got alot of cool presents. I got money, gift cards, an empty journal (people know how much I love to journal, so I always get empty ones, which I do love getting) Cd's and movies and a Emily Dickinson poems from my brother, a James Avery charm that's a heart with a cross in the middle form my grandparents, a trip to Sea World from my best friend (I went yesterday with her, and her family;it was so much fun-the morning we went to all these amazing shows, and the animals are just amazing, and then in the afternoon we did all the water stuff-the lazy river, the wave pool, the giant bucket thing. It was a truly fun day, though it did ware me out, and staying up to 1:45 in the morning with my best friend watching "Sweet Home Alabama" with my best friend) and from my parents, my favorite gift, two tickets to a BarlowGirl concert in Spetember! And the best part is, it's VIP seatring! One ticket is for me, the other one. I'm bringing my best friend-she screamed when I told her it was VIP seating! I can't wait!
