Sunny Days Are Here Again

I have a sunburn!!!! I forgot what they felt like. 
I was helping at a fundraiser a couple weeks ago for a missons trip this summer. It's such a great feeling to know that something you did is going to make an impact on someone else's life. It was really fun.
Just a reminder: Be nice to the people on the sides of the road who wave signs. It's not nice to laugh, yell, or frown at them. Not cool people. At least smile and wave.
I went to the beach with a friend yesterday. We were planning on just walking around and then coming back home but c'mon, it's the beach! You can't just look, turn around, and come back. Oh no. It was probably too cold to be in water but we waded around anyway. And, we built a dam. Yes, I might be a "responsible teenager" but, hey! Those little streams aren't put there to be left alone. They're meant to be changed. By me. It's possible I had way too much fun. The only kinda weird part was when an old man walked by and told us not to drink the water. Uh huh. Cause it's so tempting.
Have a great weekend! (Go to the beach and make a dam. You won't regret it.)

Let the heavens rejoce, let the earth be glad; let them say among the nations, "The Lord reigns!" Let the sea resound, and all that is in it; let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them! Let the trees of the forest sing, let them sing for the joy before the Lord, for he comes to judge the earth. 
 - 1 Chronicles 16:31-33

Stupidest Holiday Ever...

It's been a while hasn't it? I have lots of lame excuses; the biggest one being I was busy. Relaxing takes a lot of energy. Now that Spring break is over I'm back to school and waking up early. On Monday, I went to the dentist. If you didn't know, Monday was April Fool's Day. My dentist was so scary. He went on and on talking about how lucky I am that I got to go to the dentist on April Fool's Day and how I better watch out because he might play a trick on me.  So, I'm laying in this chair and he's joking around, saying how funny it would be if he forgot how to turn off one of the tools or poured some poisonous spray in my mouth. How is that amusing?! I'm biting down on this bag thing while he's prodding my teeth with a knife and making jokes! It was horrible. I hate the dentist. There is nothing enjoyable about it. Except the bags they give you at the end. You know, with the toothbrushes and floss in them. I love those things. :)
Back to the whole idea of April Fool's Day. Who invented that? What kind of person makes a day where people play pranks on each other? Nothing good can come from that.
Well, time to turn in. Good night!

Sunshine

Ahhhhhhhh....sunshine.... It's feels just awesome. I could actually go outside today and not freeze my face off! I went on a walk and didn't turn around to go back inside at the end of my driveway. It was amazing!  I'm so proud of myself. :)
My puppy sure enjoyed it. He was running back and forth and all over the place.  Chasing birds seems to be his new favorite thing to do. I don't think he understands that once they're flying, he can't get them. Oh well...
I'm so glad it's Friday. I'm on Spring BREAAAAKKKK!!!! My plan is to do nothing. Besides sleeping in. That's the best.

Happy Weekend!

Friendship: What God Says

I had the best time at my friend's house this weekend. We decided to make a video of the most "Awkward Moments."  It took a while to make, but we were laughing the entire time.
It's really important to surround yourself with good friends. Friends that God wants you to be around. God says a lot about friendship in the Bible. Proverbs 13:20 says, "Walk with the wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm." This doesn't mean that you're supposed to become friends with "smart" people. It means that you're supposed have friends that are close to God and wise in His word. Proverbs 17:17 says, "A friend loves at all times, and a brother (or sister) is born for a time of adversity." I have lots more verses but I have to go babysit.... Here's some of them- Proverbs 18:24, Romans 5:2, Romans 12:19-21, and Psalm 1:1. Make some time to look them up. :)
I hope everyone is having a great start to the week.

Fast Weekends and Long Weekdays

The title says it all. That seems to be my life. Saturday and Sunday just fly by and then it's Monday again. Today was a tough day of school. Daylight Saving Time didn't help at all. Before I knew it, it was 2:00 and I hadn't done Algebra or science or eaten lunch. Very tough.
On Saturday, I went shopping and got some great deals at Kohls. Including a jean jacket I've been wanting for a long time. ecstatic scream
I was looking at my schedule today and realized I only have 10 more weeks until summer. 10 weeks. I can't wait. Summer is my favorite season. There are just so many things to do! Swimming, tubing, jet skiing, floating (yes, that is a something I spend a large part of my time doing), tanning, reading in the sun, campfires, camping, and so many more! I cannot wait.
What's your favorite summer thing to do?

Fact About Me

Ok, one fact about me. I spend too much money on really ridiculous stuff that I don't need. For example, a couple weeks ago, I spent $20+ on cookies and chips. All of which I consumed in the next two days. Then there was that $10 ring I bought which I never wore. And that $25 scarf which I only wore once. I bought a bunch of candy for my little brother($15.) Eyeshadow, headbands, need I go on? Too much money!
Does anyone have any tips on saving ideas/plans?

Happy Thursday! :)
