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_

August 2, 2008 - We stayed up late and we talked all night... listened to Air1 play all night...
For once the title of this post very much has to do with the content of the post, you'll see why.
First let me say I'm extremely tired (you'll see why about that, too) so I'm sorry if this post doesn't make the most sense.
Yesterday we picked Stuffy up around 3 and went to a consignment shop to drop some things off and look around. I got a few cute things and Stuffy and I had a great time, as you'll see...
playing with little baby boy hats and ties....
me trying on awesome/weird boots....
me with a cute little jacket I got...
Then we went to eat and then to the HS Fellowship, which was lotsa fun. After that we came home and talked till after midnight, then we watched Princess Diaries and ate popcorn till 2:30 or 3... decided we'd stay up all night so we played Speed (I think she won almost every time, but we had a few ties)... had card fights till we had three decks of cards and all my pillows scattered on my floor...
... layed in bed and talked till 6 when I said "Hey! It's getting light outside!" so we opened my blinds and watched the lopsided (don't ask) sunrise, then drank vanilla capuccino which was supposed to keep us awake but didn't (you'll see)... put in "Cinderella" (it was random and crazy, our theme for the night) and then fell asleep at 7:30 or 8 and got up at 10:30 or so... went to see my animals, then we went to the lake and had a lot of fun... came home and she had to leave. So, yeah, lots of fun, but I am sooooo tired...
Btw here's a few more random pics I took the other day...

July 31, 2008 - This can't be happening to me, this is just a dream....
Wow I can't believe today is the last day of July... for me, that means summer's pretty much over. We start school Monday, but I'm actually pretty excited cuz I've picked (almost) everything I'm doing and stuff, so that's cool.
Nothin' very exciting has gone on this week. We had a good church service last night. Our youth group has a compassion child that we support. He's in Colombia and he's 9, and so cute! I'm writing a letter to him this month, and since he speaks Spanish it's fun to try to translate his original letter although they of course give us a translation.
Tomorrow is HS fellowship, I'm so excited! Sarah and Sweet-T won't be there cuz they'll be gone and Jazlynn is sick but I think there will be a lot of other peeps there. Stuffy's coming home with me afterwards to spend the night, so that's mucho exciting!!!
Well, big news (cue drum roll).... we're moving. We've sold our house and are moving to..... we don't know where. So, please pray that God will show us what He has in store for us... in the next 4 weeks or so, and that everything will go smoothly.
Also, please pray for Meggy's family. Click here to read why.

July 25, 2008 - 2008 4-H State O'Rama!!!
My absense the past two days is because I've been at my state's 4-H O'rama. It was sooo fun! We drove up Wednesday morning and moved into the dorms which were sooo cute and awesome.
Then HannahM, my roommate and friend, went to her Fashion Revue competition (placed 3rd!) and Bethy (HannahElizabeth's roommate) went to her instrumental competition and i don't remember how she placed, and HannahElizabeth went to her vocal competition and we went to watch. Everyone did really well, and so did she for she placed 4th. After that we went back to the dorms to get ready for the banquet. HannahM had to go early for a reception b/c she was a record book winner so that's why she's not in these pics.
Oh and this is me with my lovely friend Wawa.
The banquet was a lot of fun and we got a complimentary little tin of 4-H micromints! lol It was really cool, though.
Then we went to the Jones Center where we stayed until midnight. There was a dance, a movie, skating, swimming, bball, etc. We just sorta hung out everywhere and watched.
Back to the dorms and Bethy and I sang in the showers then I went to bed and texted and ate poptarts and drank powerade till 2 cuz HannahM was asleep and I couldn't sleep.
Thursday I got up about 6 and got ready for the Food Bowl competition. I didn't actually compete b/c I was the alternate.
It was good competition and we placed 3rd, so that was cool (they placed 2nd last year). That means we get to go to the Midsouth Fair in September to compete!! yay!!!
Then we went back and played Taboo and card games and ate lunch and went to Assembly where we voted for the 2008-2009 state president and officers at large. Back to play more card games and eat dinner then pack up and go to the Awards Ceremony and then leave. *sniff*
I had a ton of fun and made so many friends. This was the first big 4H event I'd gone to and I loved it. I want to get more involved with 4H now. I think I'm going to join Teen Leaders, it sounds like fun.
Well just wanted to let you know what went on, and of course, post all these pics. lol
Luvya,
Emy

July 22, 2008 - Hair cut
I got my hair cut today.... a few inches shorter all around with more layers and side bangs. First time in my life I've ever had bangs. They're a little hard to get used to but I like 'em. Here's some pics... they're really awful so those of you who know me in person just wait and see it later and those of you who don't, rest assured that these are bad pics and my haircut (and I, hopefully) look better than in these pics. lol
It's kina flipped out weird here but oh well....
Oh and this one was taken on my cell...
Let me know what you think. ;)

July 21, 2008 - I've got the memories, always inside of me...
My dad just got back from visiting his parents out of state.
Everyone please pray for my Grandad (my dad's dad), who has heart trouble and may have cancer.
About a year ago, my great-grandma (my dad's mom's mom) passed away. I never really knew her, but my dad had grown up around her quite a bit. He brought home a few things that my Grandma (his mom) had saved from my great-grandma's house for us. Just some knick-knacks she had, but I think it's really special and will treasure it.
My great-grandpa (my mom's mom's dad) passed away a few months ago after moving to a nursing home along with my great-grandma and my grandma (my mom's mom) brought us some things from their house, including four wooden ducks he had painted and carved. Especially now that he's gone on, I think that's pretty cool.
I have them both on my shelf in my room, so I can always see them and be reminded of those who came before me and have gone before me. I always get so caught up in my life and my problems and my friends, etc, etc. It's hard to think that there have been millions of people who have come before me that had similar problems. They had problems, made mistakes, got answers, and learned lessons... valuable lessons that can be shared with us. They may be gone now but their legacy lives on.
