California!

So, I am pretty bad at this updating thing. I'm going to start trying to update mine once a week. Well, the first few weeks here in CA were a little rough...I pretty much disliked it ALOT. Now that I know a few people and I am a little comfortable around them, it has become enjoyable. I've started making a few friends...and I've been on a couple dates already. They were pretty fun..and some really nice guys. So, I'm going to post pictures from Friday. My date and I met up with some people to ice block after we went biking and the beach and walk the pier...and we ate at Joe's Crab Shack. And after ice blocking we went back to his House (his being John, my date for the night).

One of the few girls I talk too.

Lora (laying), then Siri, John, and myself.

the Group...(i only talk to a few of them)

The boys were trying some crazy things!!!

Jesse, Jonathan (Pitt), Eric, John, Ryan behind him, & William.

Great Song!

"My Wish"

I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,

But more than anything, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
And you always give more than you take.

But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,

Yeah, this, is my wish.

This is my wish
I hope you know somebody loves you
May all your dreams stay big

Never thought it would happen!

So, today my family left off to San Diego. It's kind of weird being at the Collin's without Janiece here but I'll get use to it. I will probably heading out the 15th or 16th of August. I'm not exactly sure which day yet. But I'll pretty much have to say bye to most people before the 10th of Aug. because I am going on a camp out with the Collins' one last time. :D That will be Janiece's birthday week too. So, I can't miss that! I packed way more then I realized and I'll probably have to send a box home because my suit case will be way over weight. Well, Janiece will be home on tuesday so I won't be here TOO long without her. ;) later.

I'm at the startin' line of the rest of my life!

I finally had the chance to go to the doctor this past week. I have to change my eating habits. I have to eat 3 means a day and stay away from sugary foods and drink 6-8 cups of water. Oh, and I have to take these alpha base unit pills. He told me that if i didn't change now I could die in a year or just have extremely bad health issues. So, I am glad that I found out now...and that it wasn't anything to serious.

ANYWAYS..................................................................................................................

These next two days are going to be a little busy and hectic. The movers come tomorrow. Yes, for all of you that don't know, my family is moving to California. I have not made my mind up completely yet. But I think I might be going out there mid-august. But in the mean time I'll be staying with my best friend Janiece.

Also, now I'm trying to find someone to cover my shift on Saturday. So, that I can go to the beach party. bc that's only exciting thing happening this week besides tomorrow night. :)

Thoughts of Virtue!

When I first moved here, I didn't really know what "true friends" meant. I was use to having friends that were not of my faith. I all ways felt pressured to do or say things just to "fit in". Now I think back and ask myself, "What is "fitting in?".

We are all different! Not one person on this earth is EXACTLY the same. We all have similarities, which helps us become friends. Moving to the Kansas/Missouri area, changed my life for the better! I learned what "true friends" are and the kind of friend I want to be, to everyone. It wasn't like that at first, either. I was not active in church but my Mother suggested to go to this activity. It was a fun raiser for Girl's Camp. I wasn't excited at all because I wouldn't even be able to attend Girl's Camp that year. I was scared! I remember walking into that room and how I felt was different then I had ever felt before. A few of the Young Women screamed my name and excepted me right away. Which, was completely new to me. I hadn't had a lot of girl friends before. Those girls are still my friends, my best friends. So, I started going to church, but at first it was not for the right reasons. I was going to be with my new friends. With their example, it changed my life. I started going to church for the right reasons. Staying on the right path is not easy. I had those close friends and they were ALL ways there for me. I did stray away from them a few times growing up and fell in with the wrong crowd. But they were there to help me get back onto the right path. True Friends will not let you do anything you don't want too, they won't try to change you, say rude things about you. But they will RESPECT you and your beliefs! And they won't drop you, when you fall, they'll pick you up. Remember to choose friends who accept you for you and don't fall into those that try to change you and your beliefs. Remember you are the light.
