life- that's what this blog is about- my life. Living life as a homeschooler, singing, pursuit of Photgoraphy, playing Piano hanging out with all of my friends, struggling to finish school and just being a normal 16 year old as much as possible:S http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/melaniediane92/ en-us Homeschool Blogger Fri, 3 Jul 2009 11:11:00 -0500 Fri, 3 Jul 2009 11:11:00 -0500              Yep I am now the proud Owner of the Rebel XSi!!!

I'm beginning to notice how many Self portaits I put up.. I hope you guys don't think I'm vain or anything (?).  I have noticed my priorities are kinda off right now. More on the things of this world rather the "things of God"... Gosh that sounds so religeous:S I guess we could call them the "God things" that sounds more up to date huh?? Nah I think I'll stick to the traditional wouldn't want to step on anybodies toes:S Anywho I've got to get my mind back on God, Family and Church but sometimes Friends, internet, and Guys seem so much more interesting! not  they're bad when taking in the right amounts but when your focasing all your time on them like myself it becomes a problem... You got any thoughts on this????                                     Here's some pics...     This seems to be a fav on my photography site                                                                The last couple of ones was from when i went to the oldest Covered Bridge/Mill in the st. of Missouri!

I just Love this time of year don't You??? and such a  creative time to take pictures :)                       Here's two pictures I did in our back yard.. which one you like best???                                                 This is my Sister Ashley when we went to the park the other day:) http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/melaniediane92/676160/ Sun, 5 Apr 2009 17:28:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/melaniediane92/676160/                                        This next picture was Very Diffacult to shoot... I was crouched down                               with my Arm practically hugging the door and I had to make sure                               that the lamp was right on my face.. It took forEVER but I finally                                      got one that I liked.                                                                                                            On the Delicate Side... I went to a tea Partay!!!!                                                         http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/melaniediane92/673795/ Sun, 29 Mar 2009 15:38:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/melaniediane92/673795/ Well Fine Arts was amazing:)  The long ride up there in a VERY crowded van with 6 stinky guys kinda sucked but we managed to have some fun singing some Random Songs and talking:) I was sooo nervous when we got there here's a picture I took walking up to the university (none of these are very good or anything.. just randomness)                                We had gotten there pretty late so the auditorium was so full we had to go up into the balcany but i wasn't complaining. I saw it as the perfect oportunity for a picture...       When I saw the vastness of the stage I suddenly had a nervous feeling in the pit of me telling me and I that this is the room we were performing in:S But it all went well when We performed actually I wouldn't call it a performace more like nine random kids, doing there thing, Worshiping their Creator!! It was soooo amazing how the judges disapeared once we got on that stage, how the crowd became an empty room and how focased it was:) We were told afterward that We had the best Vocal we had ever done but I hadn't paid attention to how we sounded just who we were singing for!!! Other then that we had a whole lot of fun watching others perform.. there were some amazing people there. 32 out of our group of 70 got superior with Invitation (meaning: going to Nationals) and the rest got Superior... which is not going to Nationals. Here's a picture I took of the guys walking while we were on Campus... (the bold guy is our youth pastor)       soooo at the end of the day we were all really really wanting to know how we placed but they wouldn't tell us untill they had all 70 results and we were one of the first to get our results so we had a long time to wait but finally they started the results and we were the last to get our results anounced it was very intence. Pastor Aaron called Aftershock up to the front with Freedom Rock surounding us, it was completely quiet for the first time all weekend, Aaron told us that we made a good effort and that no matter what the results next year we'll be more perpared... I almost zoned out thinking "We didn't make it" but then I saw a sparkle in my Youth pastors eye and then he said "You made Superior.............................. WITH INVITATION!!!"  this was our responce...     ....     ....                     After hugging and Crying and hugging some more we all got our phones out and called about a dozen people each... telling every one of our success!!!  When we got back they had a huge Banner for us and cheers from all the parents!!!! IT WAS AMAZING!!! and then when I got back one of my photography pictures got displayed onthe home page of a photography site... so pretty much a great weekend huh?? Here's the picture...   http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/melaniediane92/668452/ Fri, 13 Mar 2009 17:16:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/melaniediane92/668452/
