My dearest everyone!

Basketball is now over so I find myself having more time and feeling like I'm getting fatter. jk. Soccer and track are starting soon, but I like being a slacker so I'm not doing either. It so much more fun to watch these things from the sidelines. I got my research paper done and I feel so happy that it's all over with. This weekend starts High School Retreat! It's gonna be so much fun. We started reading Romeo and Juliet in english and I've found that I really like reading. I guess it helps that I'm heavy into romance ! Well I'm gonna keep this one short! hang in there guys! love you all so much!

So there's a song that my sister's been playing for a while and I thought you'd like it! It's called Rainy Days and Mondays by the Carpenters

Talkin' to myself and feelin' old
Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothing ever seems to fit
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

What I've got they used to call the blues
Nothin' is really wrong
Feelin' like I don't belong
Walkin' around
Some kind of lonely clown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

Funny but it seems I always wind up here with you
Nice to know somebody loves me
Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me.

What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it's all about
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

So tomorrow is valentine's day and the sadie hawkins thing. I asked Jonathan so yah we're going together and it's gonna be alot of fun! This past weekend basketball went really well...we won both of our games. It wasn't that much of a challenge so that was annoying, but it taught us alot I think. Only one more day of basketball practice and then games this weekend. If you guys could do me a favor....I have 1 paper and two projects due this coming week that is really stressful. I'd really appreciate your prayers if you remember. Thanks! love ya'll!

My life!!!

Hey Everyone! I'm sorry that it's taken so long for me to get back here to update. Well I have two things that I'd like to share. One is the lyrics to a song that has really just touched me and the other is something that Fultz told me So first the joke from Fultz-How do you tell an alto from a soprano? You have a girl come up to the piano, if she's a soprano she's say "What can I sing for you?". If she's an alto she'll come up to the piano and in a low voice say " Where do you want me to move it?"  Just thought I'd share that with you...I'm an alto so that's probably why I like it    Then the song that I really like is by Joy Williams...it's called We.

She's independent and beautiful
Wish I could be like her
She's got the girls and the boys
So wrapped around her finger
Rumor is she's some kind of dream
Nobody knows she cries herself to sleep

We are not that different from each other
We just want somebody to discover
Who we really are when we drop our guard
That love has gotta start with you and me
We

He's on the top of the social scene
He's stylish cool and clever
He's got a cool attitude that screams
He's got it all together

You'd think he's addicted to himself
But he wishes he could be someone else

We are not that different from each other
We just want somebody to discover
Who we really are when we drop our guard
That love has gotta start with you and me

We've gotta come togeher
Oh You know you don't ever have to be alone
You've got a hand to hold

We are not that different from each other
We just want somebody to discover
Who we really are when we drop our guard
That love has gotta start with you and me
We Oh Oh And We And We You and me We
We've gotta come together

So I'm sorry but I'm gonna make this just a little bit longer. School is going pretty well....not really happy that I'm back at school, but it's so great to be able to hang out with my friends again. Basketball has been a kick in the butt, but it's fun! I love you all and I hope that you have a great day or week!
