Mar. 12, 2007 - Broken hands and rhythm classes. Yeah.
Hi,
Well, let me see where I should start......Okay.
Someone came and looked at my sprained hand (has been sprained for 5 weeks) today and she says she thinks it's broken. (She's a family friend who does this stuff for a living.) I get X-rays on Thurs. to confirm it and then a cast. BooHoo.
I'm going to start giving tap and rhythm classes for grades 1-3 starting April 13th. I will get payed $4 per child per week minus $7.50 for rent for the studio. I hope to make a little money with this. We'll see.
The play is over. We are having a cast party on Sat. We are going to Anna and Mathew's house first, then go bowling and junk out on ice-cream and root beer and then back to the house to watch a movie. I love my director!
After, my mom and us kids are going to a concert. Yeah, I can't wait.
Love to chat but my lil' sister needs me.....again.

Mar. 6, 2007 - Bottle of Dirt
As of a 2 weeks ago (not exact......but who cares?) my band was named Bottles of Dirt after Jars of Clay.
We are thinking of changing it because we don't only do Jars of Clay songs. Should we change it?
TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!!!!

Feb. 8, 2007 - A post from my Heroic blog
Grab a peice of paper and answer questions 1-4 as you read them...Then answer them after you read the rest of my post:) TY!
Boyfriend? Or not to Boyfriend? That is the Question!!!
I, as a teenage girl, have other teenage friends who are (or at least WHERE) all into the boyfriend girlfriend stuff. One friend, not name'n names here, wrote me an long e-mail one time explaining how she and this boy she likes where ALMOST boyfriend and girlfriend. AND that they might be SOON. How she told him that she like him. How he reacted. How he huggged her. How she was so sure this was it. And my sister and I wrote back about saying HOW SHE WAS ONLY 12 YEARS OLD!!! I am going to copy and paste (Yes, I got my friends permission!) the letter I sent her on here. I am only changing were it says his and her names. I hope then you can see where I come from with this subject.
Hi (Friend),
Lanna and Joe this time.
Not (nickname) this time, I'm talking to (friend). What? Did I read wrong? Why (friend)? What happened to (FRIEND)? What you wrote down below is nothing like me, or YOU! (Boy) is just a boy. B-O-Y. You are a G-I-R-L. Still young. I think of it this way:
You are young for only a few more years. Don't rush growing up. Having boys as friends is fine.....like to just hang out with and (say you are me for a moment) make movies and play music. Do everything you would do with (Friend's friend) or ME. Why would anybody want to grow up to fast? I like being young, goofy, full of action.....I don't talk with my friends about guys or "flirting" or who's "hot." I talk about who's gonna run through the sprinkler first, or how good that song we just heard is, or how it feels so good to be a kid, free of adults' work, and free of adults' worry. Free of grown-up pressures. I suggest you talk to your mom about (Boy) and your feelings. It's not like (Boy) is marriage material!!! Ew! And I seriously doubt that you are ready for marriage, right?!?
When I heard of your situation, it reminded me of a song that you showed me. I thought of this song whenever you spoke of (Boy).
Hold On By Nichole Nordeman
It will find you at the bottom of a bottle It will find you at the needle's end It will find you when you beg and steal and borrow It will follow you into a stranger's bed It will find you when they serve you with the papers It will find you when the locks have changed again It will find you when you've called in all your favors It will meet you at the bridge's highest ledge So baby don't look down- it's a long way The sun will come around to a new day So hold on Love will find you Hold on He's right behind you now Just turn around And love will find you It will find you when the doctor's head is shaking It will find you in a boardroom mostly dead It will crawl into the foxhole where you're praying It will curl up in your halfway empty bed So baby don't believe that it's over Maybe you can't see 'round the corner To hang between two thieves in the darkness Love must believe you are worth it You're worth it
Joe's right, this song is right. Listen to the chorus at its deepest meaning.
So hold on Love will find you Hold on He's right behind you now Just turn around And love will find you
Hold on....Love and being grown up will come, when God wants it to....God's right behind you all the time. Turn to Him. Don't walk on a tight rope when there's fire beneath. I don't mean to hurt you're feelings or anything but we care about you and your choices. When we saw what you wrote, it kind of made us feel like we needed to at least say something. Who else will? Your mom would be at great help.
I thought about saying something to you before, but I didn't think you would make that choice.
Even though you saw it as good, imagine how God would look at it all.
I have hugged, shaken hands with, talked to , walked with, and just hung out with guys before. BUT as a friend, not like what you might picture. I think that friends should be friends. No more. Maybe you can find some other cool kids, boys and girls, who agree with this. Maybe you'll make some friends. You can always come to me for advise and I will try my hardest to answer.
We don't expect you to agree right away. Just think about it. And no matter what your choice is, we love ya!
Your friends forever,
Lanna and Joe
P.S. Remember, any teenage boy that thinks a 12 year old girl is "hot" needs to have his head examined, no matter how cute she is. Don't fall for it.
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting.
Teenaged boys: n. (teeen aaajed boweeez) 1. One step above ape.
(NO affence GUYS!!!! We just wanted to cheer her up with a joke. SORRY!)
Anyways, when the time comes, you will find LOVE.
Also, I don't believe in dating. I believe that when the time is right, courtship is much better.
I have a few BOY FRIENDS (note the space.) We are just friends and they know that. Also, if a guy or girl dosn't agree with you on this, they are not worth being close friends with anyways.
Now rethink those questions and let me know if you have any questions.

Jan. 2, 2007 - Tap songs and dances
Today was our tap class. I am so psyched about our show. We finished Crazy Times. We are starting Lord of the Dance by Steven Curtis Chapman and we are half way through Come Together by Third Day. Come together is going to be our intro song and we are having so much fun doing this!
Joseph came back to class a couple weeks ago after having to catch up on school work for a month and a half.
We showed him what we had for the intro part. We worked that out with him and when it was his turn to go up and do his steps, he stops and says "Hi, I'm Joseph T......., I'm single." Goof Ball, he's younger then me.
Nika is doing really great. She started a lot later then everyone else, but her and her brother, Riah, have lots of talent. I'm so proud to have gotten them so far in such a short time.
I think I'm going to make Joseph a shirt that says "Will Dance For Food." I think that Nika was on to something when she said that we should each have a dance logo on. I want someone to have an "If dance were any easier, it would be called football.

Nov. 24, 2006 - party animal
I'm having a New Year's party on New Year's Day.
It's a mystery party. It's called The Case of the Missing Music.
Some one stole the guitar, but who?
It calls for 4 guys and 4 girls to play the roles of the suspects. I invited two of my female friends
(Nika and Caleah) and four of my guy friends (Tyler, Joseph, Riah, and Aundraus) Well, Riah and Joseph are two of my tap students and Tyler is a friend from the plays I'm sometimes in and Aundraus is the German exchange student that's here for the year. Riah is also Nika and Caleah's brother. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!( My sister and I are the other two girls by the way.)
I'm also inviting their families to play the parts of the investigators. Want to come? Dress up as an investigator and come around 1:30!

Nov. 22, 2006 - Tap Water
I am a dance teacher. Sounds weird, cause I'm still, really just, a kid. My teacher bailed and told me to take over. I teach tap and stomp. I'm good, but I could be better. Our group is called Tap Water.
Yesterday, we started our spring show. One of the dances that we are doing is to the song Crazy Times by Jars of Clay.
Here are the lyrics:
CRAZY TIMES
You're cold that way And that's why you say The things that you say You can't attract The things that you lack You're trying in vain Chorus: It seems it's always the crazy times You find you'll wake up and realize It takes more than your saline eyes To make things right You spiral down You've broken your crown You don't feel like a queen You've seen the proof But you're still crying wolf You'll never believe [Chorus] You try to climb a broken ladder Grip the missing rungs And fall down, down, down Seems sometime ago you said This wouldn't last And now you sit here crying Beside your bed You feel left for dead You kneel in the dark... It takes more than your saline eyes To make things right [Chorus]
hopefully, we will have a nice show by spring.
HOPEFULLY.
Oh and....
Dear Musicians,
