October 25, 2008 - HERE I AM!!!
You never thought it'd happen, did you? lol yeah it's been forever, I know.... over a month. Instead of trying to catch you up on everything that's been going on, I'll just give you a quick synopsis and then move on and try to keep you updated more often.
I'm a junior in highschool which means the end is in sight and I know what I have to finish in order to graduate. That's nice, because I can move at my own pace and decide how much and when I get everything done, but it also means I know I have to get it done and I don't have all the time in the world to do it. If possible I'd like to be at least mostly finished haflway through my senior year so I can then concentrate on graduation. So that's one excuse, school.
Basketball keeps me on the run... literally. :P I have practice every Tuesday and Thursday. I'm really enjoying it, although it's tough sometimes and shin splints aren't fun, and it can be really frustrating to be one of the oldest on the team and yet not have any experience. But I've learned alot and everyone says I'm doing okay for it being my first time. We had our first game a few weeks ago.... we didn't win, but it was a lot of fun. I didn't know if I'd get any playing time but I did... I was a bit confused at first but it was still a lot of fun. The other Patriot teams won, though, so we were proud of them. ;) Number two, basketball.
I've started cleaning a house with Chrysta every other Friday. It's not too hard and it's pretty fun working with a friend, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to earn a little money while learning skills that I'll always use. Yesterday we went even though it was our off-week, to do some extra cleaning because the lady we clean for broke her foot. After we were done she sent us to the neighbor's house to talk to her because she wanted *her* windows washed. lol So there's number three, work.
Other time-consumers are the computer programming classes I've been taking every Thursday for the past several weeks. They're over now, but they were fun and I learned some things... it'll be nice not to be late for basketball every Thursday, though. Check out the blog I made for that: www.emygirly.blogspot.com Church takes up most of every Sunday now that we live 45 minutes from it, and Wednesday evenings. Most weekends lately I've spent the night with friends or something. I've joined 4-H teen leaders, I'm the county reporter, so that should be fun. We'll meet the first Tuesday of each month.
There's just a litte taste of how busy I've been. Now that I'm somewhat caught up (don't expect me to get caught up with pics lol) I'll try to post once a week or so.
Luvya'll,
EMYJOY

September 9, 2008 - I can't live a lie....
Heyy evyybodyy,
First I wanna say a big thanks to Sarah, Lana, Toria, and Meggy for the birthday posts and everyone else for the birthday greetings, comments, messages, cards, gifts, etc. Ya'll are all too sweet and the best friends I could ever ask for! I don't know how to thank you enough for all you do. I love you guys!
I had a great birthday. My friend Stuffy came over to spend the night Tuesday and we had fun and watched a movie. Wendesday we spent 4 1/2 hours at the mall and had a great time and then went to church. They had decorated for me and had a cake and sang to me and made me blow out the candles and everything... embarrassing but sweet. :P Firday my family and I went to dinner and got my basketball and goal for my birthday! I'm so excited and I've been practicing almost every day. I also got a cool antique typewriter, a sewing machine, some pedicure stuff, a cosmetics case and some makeup, and other cool stuff.
I've been superduper busy moving and all but we're getting settled in now. I like it pretty well. My room is pretty cool and I"ve had a lot of fun working on it and decorating it. The outside is as pretty as ever and even more so with Rusty grazing peacefully in the pasture. I've also been doing school, and now have choir on Tuesdays. Last night I went bowling with a lot of friends, and that was a lotta fun.
There's a lot more I could say but I better go...
peace out,
`EMY`

Hey everyone,
I just wanted to say we're moving almost everything else over today so I'm really busy and either won't have time for much internet or won't have internet hooked up for a few days prolly, so sorry to everyone who has commented or messaged that I haven't got back with, and just to let you know where I'll be.
Please continue to pray for my family as we move.... thanks so much everyone!
Luv,
EMY

August 10, 2008 - All that's left is to accept that it's over
I've gotta tell you a sad story about something that happened today. It was after church this morning, and we went over to the fellowship hall for a surprise birthday party for my friend KC. Anyway, I was in there when Jazlynn's cousin Kenneth comes in saying something about a smashed cat, so I asked him and he said there was a cat that had gotten run over and his back half was smashed and he was crawling around, dragging it behind him.... I asked where it was and he said it was outside under a car. So I start pleading "DO something Kenneth!" and we ran out there and I saw it... oh my gosh, it was SO sad and horrible. "Kenneth DO something! It can't just suffer!!" so he went to get his gun and after I was assured that the cat would die a sudden and immediate death, I ran inside and let him put the poor thing out of it's misery. The poor, poor thing... it was so sad, I almost cried and I'm still sad even just thinking about it.
I guess this story is kina sad to but not nearly as so... I had to sing in church tonight with HannahElizabeth and Jazlynn... it went okay, I guess. It was fun cuz she came over after church this morning to practice with us...
My mom and little sisters went to look at another house today... I don't know much about it but it's on some land so we could keep the animals there... I think we're gonna try to get an appointment to see it soon.
Btw, please pray for my Grandad who was supposed to have heart surgery, but I don't think he is after all. Thanks!

August 9, 2008 - Walk by faith, not by sight
Heyy everybodyy!!
Well, the first week of 11th grade is behind me. It's going pretty well, I guess. I really like Spanish but I'm doing a lot of it, three books at once, actually.
Wednesday we ran a bunch of errands before church..... yesterday we went to look at a house and then we went to the mall and I saw some friends there.... not much else has been going on. We looked a house today that I really like... not sure what will happen but everyone please pray that if it's God's will we'll be able to rent it, and if not, that He'll lead us to the right house for us right now. We just have to trust... for we walk by faith, not by sight.
Okayy if any of you haven't heard "Just a Dream" by Carrie Underwood, scroll down to the bottom of this page and look for it near the bottom of my playlist. I <3 it! It's really sad though.
Well I guess that's all for now, just thought I'd update you on my [boring] life.
<3,
_emy_
