May. 19, 2006 - IM GRADUATING TOMRROW!!!!
I GRADUATE TOMORROW!!! AHH!!!!
Wow school has gone by fast! Im 16 and graduating high school tomorrow! Im excited yet scared! It will be different.
Lets see...whats been going on?? um...Wednesday we had choir...well the kids practiced for the Braves game. Cause our choir was singing there. However I couldnt go to the game so i sat and listened. They sounded good. The little kids were so funny they made me and Stefani laugh so hard! it really was funny. Um...then we had our choir party...then we practiced for SonPower. im excited about it. We get to have a little day camp..kind of like a VBS. itll be fun..we get to do stories, music, crafts, snacks, and games. Itll be fun.
Wednesday night I went to church...we had 242. Where all are smallgroups come together and meet as one. Kind of like regular Fusion but not quite. Anyways....I asked some kids to sign my yearbook page thingy...and so they did..well me being who i am did not read them there. Oh I also wrote some notes to some of the kids...and well theres this one girl...Lindsey. i met her on the Katrina trip in Dec. She is such a sweet heart. Well to give you a little bit of how we met and stuff...we did work together on the Katrina trip both days actually....she stayed at the school the next day with us. And well on the bus ride home Abigail Hobbs came up and wishpered something to John Orr. and he went to the middle of the bus...and all we saw from where we were sitting was John sitting next to someone...well I couldnt figure out who it was...and so I stood up and looked back and there were 3 people i nthe seats...one had her head donw and she was crying...this just happened to be Lindsey. Long story short she got a phone call saying that her brother had been hit by a car and had passed away. It tore Lindsey up. She jsut cried. well I wrote her a note....and in it I told her that I was praying for her and if she ever needed anythig nto call me...and i wrote down my number. Well later that night after I had gone to sleep she called me...and i didnt hear it...so she left a message on my phone. And she just said thanks...and went on and on. Well then a couple weeks ago...my mom took me and my family to Brusters...and guess who works there?? None other then Lindsey Findley. And we happened to go to her window without realizing it was her. My mom pulled out her coupons and money and Lindsey told her she wouldnt accept it. And my moms like what? and Lindsey said you guys are my friends I dont want your money. Im like no she didnt. but she did. Well then...a week or so after that we went back to Brusters...and happened to get Lindsey's window...again. So we told her what we wanted...and I gave her my money and coupon and she wouldnt take it. Im like Lindsey no...and shes like yes mindy...and im like lindsey you did this last time let me pay...and do you knwo whta she said to me?? She said..and I qoute.."I cant hear you Mindy" im like Lindsey! it was funny. but she wouldtn take it she closed the window on me. it was funny. Well now back to wednesday...I wrote her a note and i stuck $5 in it. and I was on one side of the room and she read it and she came running up to me...she shoved it back and me saying "i dotn want it" and im like I dont want it either Lindsey...lol...we went back and forth..then Karen came up to say hi to lindsey (cause i was jsut talkign to karen) and before karen could say anything I told her to tell lindsey to take it..and karen looks at me and says "take what" im like tell her to take it..and lindseys like i dotn want it...and karen starts i non my side. it was great! lol. So needless to say lindsey lost that battle.
Wow i jsut kind of went out on you there..but oh well. ok now...john asked the seniors if they wanted to say anythign..w.ell i didnt go up. caue i couldnt have said anythign better then the kids that had gone up. then he opened it up to the other kids there...and it was all so encouraging to hear. It was great. I still haev not read my yearbook as of this point...well as soon as I got home i read it. And i cried! Tears were running down my face. I was talkig nto Stefani yesterday about it. and im like I now i haev an influence in other peopels lives...i know that. but i dont hear it alot..especially form my church friends. And so to see the words written down...it made me cry. One of the girls said "I have looked up to you over the past years. Im here for you if you ever need me. I love you" and she went on and on. Then one wrote how i have a great positive impact on her life. then one wrote how i was so awesome even though she had only known me for a little while...and those 3 really stuck out to me. They all made me cry..but those 3 it took my forever to read.
I told 2 of them over aim that the ymade me cry. and their like "What?!?" and im like it was a good cry. By what you wrote in my yearbook. One of the msaid "well maybe i shouldnt have written in ti." im like no...you did and it made me fee la whole lot better. and hey both said "what i wrote is true though" and then the ywent on and on. and they mde me cry again.
Ok so yesterday was the last day of co op. We watched our newscast we filmed in journalism. It was sooo funny. We laughed the whole time. We were so stupid lol. Yes i did say that. and hopefully you know what i mean by it. I got a "Best Actress Award" lol. it was funny. Its hanging on my wall lol.
Well I just htouh i would share all that with you. lol. I have more i would write but 2 reasons why im not...1 i have to get off to go finsih with grad stuff...and 2...and i dont want to share some of the stuff wit hall of you lol. Not that i dont trust you...but i havent told very many poeple about 2 things i wanted to write about...so im just not going to...and its probably going to bug you too...hehe...but oh well.
Love,
Mindy

Hi Mindy!
I've been looking at your blog for a while, and thought I'd stop by and say "hi"!
I'll bet your glad to finally be done with school! Do you have any plans for after highschool? Are you going to college? I'm hopefully going to graduate next year, and as of now I'm not going to college. My dream is to become a mothers helper (helping someone out with younger kids, after a baby, etc.).
God Bless!
Aliisa
