I just wanted to write a little blogger about my Mom. So i've been in the mood for spinach pie ever since my brothers birthday ( oct. 1st) and my mom decided to make it for me!! She must really love me. hahahha. I love my Mom, and i love her spinach pie!

It was the only thing that kept me going through six hours of college, and then three and a half hours of work. :)

One of the most memorable nights of church thus far. hahah. Ok. Lori you've had some good ideas in the past, but 'the switch' was AMAZiNG!!! It was not only one of the funniest services, but i also got a lot out of it. haha.

Alright Alright. so if you aren't a highschool girl that goes to my church you proberly have no idea what i'm talking about. So we've been doing a PURE series at my church, and tonight was the final week of teaching ( banquet next week, PARTAY, ahah). They decided to seperate the guys and girls, and have the guy leaders answer the girls questions and the girl leaders answer the guy questions. BEST IDEA EVER!!! Here are some of the quotes from the night! Ah!!! haha.

Q: Why do guys like you one second and not the next?

A: No.. they don't. They like you all the time - Dougayy!

Q: Why do some guys make girls do all the work?

A: Cause that's the way God made it. - Zach

Q:Why do guys care if girls are modest?

A: If you want the right guy he SHOULD care. Every guy doesn't. How a girl dresses is the first thing that tells a guy that girls personality.

A: A guys job is to encourage modesty in a girl. The girls job is to encourage pure thoughts in a guy. - Peter

A: If you want to attract a mouse you put out some cheese. If you want to attract a scumbag, you dress provocatively.

A: ( jonathan talking) in general clothes are getting tighter ( dougay pipes in) WELL at least i know mine are! . hahahhaha

Q: Why don't guys care about personal hygiene?

A:Laziness, i can take a shower or eat some cold pizza. -dougay!

Q:Why don't guys have as much drama as girls?

A: We're a simple bunch. - Dougay!!!

A: We just have a brawl, then we're done. - peter

Some other great moments from the night, that i wont go into detail about.

" was it one of those, your in the band she's in the band"

"joe christian"

We were talking about lists of qualities a girl should have Doug speaks up " does she have a pulse". ahaha

Since my parents teach the Junior high here's a little story from theirs.

Q: What do you look for in a woman?

A: ( rj) Obedience, i want a wife that obeys me!

my dad - sounds like you want to marry a dog.

rj - when i get married i want to be the king!

dad - rj, i could see you when your married... walking into church with two pink diaper bags, one on each shoulder.

Well there it is. I love my youth group. sarcastic, fun, and in love with God!!!

2009-10-03T17:08:00.000-04:00

2009-09-22T23:24:00.004-04:00

Where to start, where to start. How about the beginning...

Well. my first memory of julie, is in C4J. her and i both had a crush on Jordan K. ( not going to say the last name.. although it's sort of obvious) and neither of us knew the other one did. I wasn't going to ask julie, i was only... what? 10, and i just started going to the church a few months ago. haha. but Julie, well she had to know, so, she pulls me backstage right before we do the offering and asks me right then and there. of course i lied to her, and said no i didn't like jordan.. haha. and we've been friends ever since.

Well this year we've become closer than ever. I'm am soooo blessed to have someone like her in my life. I couldn't imagine life with out her. She isn't perfect, but she's perfect for me. When i'm tired, and feel like relaxing, i sit back and watch julie entertain me. When i've got energy and want someone to be crazy with me... Julie is the perfect fit. When i don't stick up for myself, because i don't want to be mean, Julie is mean for me. She's always making me laugh, and always laughing with me. She gets my sarcasm, and she gets me with her sarcasm. She can also read my mind... ok. well maybe she can't do that. One day though! haha. She's a great christian, and she's not afraid of telling others what she believes ( even if sal will go on a 20 minute rant about a platypus ). But julie! when you read this. i want you to know i love you, and even though i just saw you for a lil tonight i miss you already... Love you!

Rache. :)

Juliette turns One.!.

The adorable, amazing, cute, loveable, smiling, enthusiastic, wonderful Juliette turned ONE.!. She's getting so big! i remember the day i baby sat for Bree, when she was having Juliette. And now this little cutie is already the big 1. Well yesterday was her birthday party, and she was the best dressed there by far. Her outfit was adorable, as you can see in the pics. And she was so happy and cute and adorable! As usual.

Some things i love about Juliette are...

Anyone can make her laugh. Her smile. She is so daring. Her cheeks. Her laugh! The ways she waddles everywhere. The way she wears that tutu. haha. When she observes things, with absolutely no expression on her face. Her cry (its soooo adorable, i want my baby to cry like that, because then i wouldn't mind it as much). When she hugs Madeline. When she hugs me!!! How she can be entertained with just a cracker for the whole time Bree and George where opening her presents. And so many other things, but most of all I love that she loves me.

Juliette and Me

Juliette and Madeline hugging

Maddy Time.!.

2009-01-08T21:40:00.006-05:00

Alright, so my adorable little cousin Madeline came over, and we had an amazing time together. We started off coloring, and when the boys got too loud Madeline turned around and yelled, "Mike!! shhhhhh." it was so cute.

Madeline and my moo peeling and eating a clementine

Then they both worked it off, by lifting a few weights.

Oh. did i mention Madeline did my Makeup??

"Close your eyes Rachie". haha. she was sooo professional.

Perfecto!

After Makeup, we danced around the rest off the night, read a few books. Yah know, all of that fun stuff. I love spending time with Madeline!!!

Card Night

2009-01-04T00:07:00.002-05:00

Card Night

Tonight was soooo much fun. We had card night with the cousins. We all played either Pinochle or Euchre, and ate a bunch of pizza, brownies, amazing salad. yah know. Even though i didn't win it was still fun spending time with the cousins. Here are some pics.

Ok. although this is extremely embarrassing for me, since Bree was playing against me at the time, I must tell this story. When playing Pinochle, if you happen to get All of the Aces, then you receive 100 points. As you can see in the pic, she has ALL OF THE ACES. Then the very next hand, her and Christa railroaded me and Michael G.

Nina and Angie

My Dad and Jeanette

Ok. these two (and my Mom) worked sooo hard throughout the night. My Dad made the pizza's, and Jeanette cut them into pieces, and passed them out to everybody.

.Ha, i love this pic of George and Matthew.

The four winners of the night. George, Bree, Shalene, and Christa.

Christmas Eve.!.

2008-12-25T00:20:00.006-05:00

So. Every Christmas Eve my family, and Nana, Papa, and Uncle D. go over Uncle Tony

and Aunt Jeanine's house (with his fam, kids, and their kids), and we eat AMAZiNG food, and have a bunch of fun. Well this year was no different. Let me just say a few of the delicious things that our on the menu. Raviolis, stuffed mushrooms, ahmazing steak, shrimp, Aunt Jeanine's salad, meatballs, and so much more. I'm so thankful that our families can get together every Christmas eve, i look forward to it just as much as Christmas. Here are some pics.

Transiberian Orchestra

Tonight was soooo much fun. We went to see the transiberian orchestra play at the palace. My favorite person in the orchestra is the drummer, ha, i love when he makes his sticks go into an X . Pretty shweet. The food was extroardinair, and the company was even better.

Gingerbread Houses.!.

2008-12-20T14:19:00.008-05:00

GinGebrEad HoUSes.!.

Today was the day of the annual gingerbread houses. It was so much fun, and everyone made faboo houses. Some were beautiful, some were baller, some were colorful, and they all were individual. :)

We started off at Papa and Nana's house. They made a delish breakfast (sausage, french toast).

It is a must to wear the hats.

There was a new event this year. (;

All of the finished candy houses!

Amber and Jesse's (but mostly Ambers) is in the front.

To the left is Daniel and Emily's.

Behind that is Tony's.

Behind his is Russell and Amanda's.

Then Mine.

The Bunk's.

George, Bree, Scarlett, and Juliette's.

Gabe and Hannah's.

Ha i don't know who's the next Gingerbread house is.

Christa and Brandon's

Mikey's.

Ian's.

Matthew and Nina working on their house.

Me and Emily

Ian's house was amazing. It one the "most baller"award, and it definitely deserved it. In the backyard (which is in this picture) there is a tennis match going on, and a teddy bear rock climbing!!!

Here is a side view. Basketball net, and there is Michael Phelps swimming in the pool, which has a diving board.

There's Michael's. It was voted "most candy" house.

.Daniel and I.

"Best Candyhouse overall"

This is Brandon and Christa's house.

My house

Uncle Gary judging.

He is very serious about his job.

Aunt Judy, My moo, and Nina

Russell, Me, and Michael

Amanda and Russell

My Italian family???

2008-12-19T13:52:00.006-05:00

Well for everyone who doesn't know Nina has a baby pool going on for the new baby bunk that will be arriving. It has caused quite the discussion amongst the family. Read for yourself..
.

Nina - hey fam

so for those of you who didn't know, we have a little baby pool going. i want everyone to get in on it, it is pretty cute, tell us the sex/weight/height and how u r related to us (which i am assuming is supposed to be funny descriptions, which make it really cute)

well here is the deal whoever is the closest or spot on gets a prize when we have the baby.

i have a dr. appointment this morn and he is going to tentatively schedule my c-section, so i want everyone to get on there and vote before i disclose my tentative date!!

My dad (100 percent italian) - Can you just put me in for an easy pick I don’t know why anyone is guessing on this outcome? The kid is going to be a Red headed White Anglo Saxon.

Matt could have married a woman from Zimbabwe and their kids would still come out White with Red Hair. He is like a Big Bottle of Bleach the only difference he turns everything Red and White instead of just white. He is systematically breeding out any trace of Italian in those kids.

My Father

Matthew Bunk(proud father) -What are you talking about? My daughter has darker skin than Mikey. Plus she has an Italian accent. Just ask her to say Gary or Karen. Don't start pointing fingers at m. I am not afraid to leak the "big" Girgenti secret to the media. I know the truth. That's Polish blood running through their veins. That last name has covered them for too long. I'm putting together a petition to get the last name changed to Girgentski. Don't test me Piccolo. The next thing I have to do is dig up some dirt on your clan. :)

Italian???

George buds in - Polish? Hardly. Explain to me why in all of Tony's newborn pictures he's got a mustache and a gold chain on. The kid had a chest full of hair before he was even walking. Also, both of my children are 100

percent Italian. Check their birth certificates. You can't just make things like that up. They did in-depth blood tests at the hospital and determined that there isn't a single non-italian gene in them.

George and father Tony Girgenti (or girgentski as matthew would say)

George's firstborn Scarlett... 100 percent Italian???

Juliette.. George's second child.

Aunt karen puts in her two cents -I don't know much about this, but I do recall many instances of Tony Sr. bringing pierogi sandwiches to school with a side of polish sausage. And several years ago I caught him rifling through Mom's photos and putting several of them through his shredder..

Michael Girgenti (my cousin) states a very prominent point -

Whoa!

I've had just about enough of this small time chatter! We all know there are (2) kinds of people in the world. Italian's and people that wish they were! To sum it up real quick, ask yourself one question, the answer to this question alone is enough to prove if your a whop or not. While cooking a home made pizza, like Grandma Annie always did for the family, while your sweat drips into the bowl of dough as you kneed it, do you pray and ask God to bless the dough before it rises? Enough said... Good night and God bless!!! P.S. Matt and Nina, if you have a boy and name him Bruno Brasco Bunk. I'll buy him the Godfather DVD set for his first birthday!

My dad replies -George George George I cringed when I looked at my blackberry and seen

that you chimed in on this subject. And using our brother as an example and not yourself is shameful. If you want to continue to live vicariously through your brother's physical characteristics go ahead. But those of us around during the Parrot paradise days and your dad's involment with Marmoset monkeys know full well that Tony was and has a gene pool link possibly to that species. And as for you, someone that is spitting out Albinos faster then a snowmaking machine at Mt. Holly or an Andy Warhol family reunion you should have just sat on the sideline. Until Matt brought up the family origin of your dad. I was blaming Bree for those little sunscreen addicts, they single handedly caused a sunscreen shortage in Southern California last summer. Be proud of your heritage and by the way Bobby Vinton the Polish Prince is coming to Caesar Windsor must be 19 years or older to attend. Rack Him Uncle Mike

well i hope you enjoyed this. haha. i certainly did.

This Past Weekend

2008-12-10T16:39:00.004-05:00

So last weekend was sooo much fun.

.Friday.

i went to a four hour dinner. Yes, four hours not including the time we waited for the table, and we didnt even eat dessert. haha. i drank six glasses of water. I went with my Dad, his friend Paul, and Paul's wife Donna. Ok. It was so much fun, and interesting i loved it. The food was extroardinair, which means it was really good. We went to Brio. By the time i got home it was time for beddy bye.

.Saturday.

Got up early in the am. (8:30ish) as usual to go to the workout class at bally's. It's so much fun because me, my mom, Aunt Judy, and our newest person Amber all go. After the work out class i went out with Aunt Judy, we went shopping, out to eat, and to a few teacher stores. I love spending time with her, she is so much fun.

After i got home, i drove on over to Julie's house, and we hung out took some pics, made our elephant presents for the christmas party. ect.

i love this pic of julie

Thanksgiving

2008-11-28T15:46:00.002-05:00

Jeanette's version of yesterday...

i saw people of all shapes and sizes coming together to celebrate the day of the turkeys. I set down the pies and said hi to everybody that i was thankful for, including you my friend. The day went great, as we creamed Michael and Daniel in darts, had pie fights, and ate twice baked potatoes and spaghetti. Madeline and Scarlett were hilarious as they smacked each other and don't forget when Juliette threw up on Angie. haha. After a long hard day we settled down to play some intense balloon volleyball. It was fun. Then we went to Nana's, because that's where all the food was. It was ight. then we watched some whammy, and drifted off to sleep. and we lived happily ever after.

Birthday.. day

The Milestone

2008-11-21T17:32:00.008-05:00

Yesterday was soooo much fun. After college, Uncle Tony and my beautiful Aunt Jeanine picked me up, and we all headed out for a night of excitement. We decided to eat at P.F. Changs, because that's Uncle Tony's FAVORiTE restaurant. <-- sarcastic. But the food was delicious! Russell brought us out these AMAZiNG ribs, and we got a bunch of great food, including my second favorite dessert. Aunt Jeanine and Uncle Tony are sooo much fun to be around, they are both always making me laugh. Oh, did i mention that they took me out for my birthday (its saturday). well they did. And they bought me a beautiful bracelet, and corn on the cob holders. Ok. corn on the cob holders??? yes!!! They are soo thoughtful. Probably a month ago i was at their house eating some pretty amazing corn, and they had these corn on the cob holders that are so cool, and i said that, and next thing you know they bought them for me for my birthday.

Us eating at P.F. changS

russell took the pic. :)

Woohooo. Well for those of you who dont know this it has been my life long dream to go and see Tina Turner in concert ( before something happens to her legs. hahaha). I was definitely the youngest person there. It was so much fun. Ha. ok. funny story. The guy next to Aunt Jeanine turns to her and goes "why did your friend come with a date, but you came alone". haha. do i look THAT much older than i am??? i mean i know i'm going to be sixteen, but i didn't think that one day would make that big of a difference.

Me and one of my best friends

TINA!!!

XxOo

2008-11-18T21:18:00.003-05:00

I got the most wonderful present from Mercedes, Mrs. Jill, and Madison (my fam). Pride and Prejudice, which is probably one of my favorite movies. Mercedes also made me that fabu (pronounced faboo) poster. Its so awesome, especially in person, and especially if i am the person reading it, because it's all insiders haha. Thank you sooooo much!!!

Friendiversary

2008-11-11T21:00:00.003-05:00

Well today was the official friendiversary of me ryan and cedes. It was a year ago today that we had the workathon at church and were stuck painting together for three hours. Good times. haha. The pics we took with ryan didn't turn out, so i put up the one that cedes drew.. haha. she is an awesome drawer. Sorry Jonathan. i had to put this pic up, if you hate it AlOT though, i will take it down... All in all today was a great day. except i don't think history maker went to good. actually it didn't go good at all. ha.. oooh well.

STARS

2008-11-03T22:05:00.004-05:00

Special Ops

Well special ops was tonight. Not only was it fun, but it was very interesting. I enjoyed very much having Lori back with us. I love Jeni too. One of the things we did was pick something out and explain how we can strike up a conversation about God when we see one of those objects. I chose lemon seasoning. So here's how i would strike up a conversation while seasoning my chicken.. Matthew 5:13 You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost it's flavor? Can you make it salty again? You must have the qualities of salt among yourselves and live in peace with each other.

When someone buys seasoning to flavor chicken, if it had no flavor it would have no value. We should be flavoring the earth. No one wants to buy chicken flavored seasoning to flavor their chicken. In that same sense we shouldn't just blend into the flavors of the world, we should stand out.

We also picked out our quote unquote quote from the Bible quote... quote.

My favorite scripture from the Bible is 1 Corinthians 15:58

(i like it best in the new living translation)

So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is EVER useless.

Here are some pics.

Ha. loving Janelle's hair.

Hay ride

2008-10-31T22:27:00.003-04:00

Ryan's version of today...

hayride was fun. final! they ran out of cider and i was thirsty. final! candy was good. final! at the end rick was trying to get the extra hay off and was going really fast and we decided to jump in and it was insane final, because me and jonathan were in the back and it was so bumpy i almost fell of. and check out the pic of jonathan it doesn't have me in it, but its alright. final.

This whole weekend was fun and fab, but no day compares to the day we all go to Colasanti's. The best part about this day is that it is already planned out, and i love every minute of it. I love driving in the car with Gabe, Hannah, Jesse, and Amber. Even though i couldn't relate to half the stuff they talked about, they still made me feel very much apart of the conversation. So here's some pics.

Well. their gone. i miss my parents sooooo much. They are such amazing parents, and i realize it even more now that they've been gone for six days.!. They are coming home tomorrow which is a huge plus. But i would like to dedicate this post to thee perfect parents (for me at least). They are definitely great examples and great people, and this past week hasn't been as fun without them. It has been fun, just not as fun.. I also miss my Aunt Karen and Uncle Gary. They are amazing too. And i love how they're best friends with my parents. I just wish that someone would've videotaped their whole vacation together, because Christa showed me one little clip and i couldn't stop laughing.

Well here are some pics. It was very hard to find pictures of these four amazing people that have impacted my life tremendously, but i managed to find a few.

.Me and my daddy.

Mercedes version of today...

Alright it all started when I came over Rachel's around....well I came over a sometime I don't exactly know when. And as soon as I got there we made pancakes not just a few but enough to feed 10 people!!! And it gets even better WE ATE ALL OF THEM!!! Then me and Rachel decided to come up with ideas for our movie night shirts. We made all sorts of designs and then we just decided to do whatever. Cora came over finally we were waiting for her to show up all afternoon! Right away we made our shirts which turned out FABULOUS! After we walked all the way to Kroger. It was long but alot of fun. After all that we came home and did each others hair. Then later on we learned about how Cora is NOT FLEXIBLE AT ALL. hahahahaha! Too funny! Then we watched Nacho Libre and had Root Beer Floats...yummy! Now we are just hanging out! Today was all too funny!

Exercise 3... And 4. but no two..

2008-10-06T21:14:00.006-04:00

ell Mondays are my all school days. i went to college from nine am., till five p.m.. it was very interesting, but extremely long. My second class was so funny. My teacher is veeery laid back, and she doesn't know what she is doing. Me and my friend ashley were looking at exercise 2, which was supposed to be our homework for this week. We were so excited because it was only two pages long. Then the teacher says, "oh we have a change in our homework schedule, we are not going to do two, we're going to completely skip that section. Instead we are going to do sections three and four". Me and ashley just started laughing soooo hard. mayber it's because we had been in classes all day, but i still think it s kind of funny... Right.?. well anyways after school i went out with cedes to Paisano's.

Check please... Snap

2008-09-30T21:27:00.005-04:00

ok. Worship.!. amazing. Yah so this year our worship team is amazing. We are all so close, and get along awesome, and this has definitely affected our worship. I can definitely feel God's presence on wednesdays, and that is AMAZiNG. The practices are way more fun too, because we can all just be ourselves, and be crazy. So i've been talking so much about it, here are some pics.

Singers! minus me.

Ha. Jon's face is priceless here.

he was talking while we were trying to take the pic.

Yah, Jon just couldn't stop talking. haha

Well here's a little sneak peak of what me and Cedes with look like for homecoming. I went over her house yesterday, and we just talked and took pics. It so awesome how close we live, because (just like yesterday) i can just stop by her house, even for an hour! i lOVE it.

Janelle came over after that.!. We did all sorts of stuff, like steal fabric, dress gorillas, and follow random people down our street. ha. Oh! And of course take pics.

Uncle D. caught a bird.!. haha. we were about to go to my Dad's work, and all of a sudden we get a call from Uncle D. He told us to hurry and come outside because he caught a bird at Kroger. So we run outside, and we see Uncle D. with a big smile on his face dragging that HUGE thing down the street by a string. It was soooo funny. Just imagine if you didn't know Uncle d. and you saw some RANdOM guy riding his bike down the street with that thing tied up.

Isn't it so adorable.!.

Poor little guy. ha

I didn't notice that my camera was a LITTLE dirty.

2008-09-19T22:56:00.002-04:00

Today was a fab day.!. I got to go over my Aunt Karen's. I love her so much. She is such an amazing person. She has soooo much knowledge, and i looove it when she shares some of that knowledge with me. When i got home, i watched matt's video about twelve times. Me and Michael couldn't stop laughing. Cooked hamburgers, played the piano, and boggle. Then Madeline came over, and we played with cars, and watched tv, banged on pots and pans. The usual. ha. i love her sooooo much she is sooooo adorable.!.

Us after playing carS

Madeline wearing a woody hat.!.

nice job on the pic matt. :)

no title

2008-09-15T17:08:00.002-04:00

Ha. well i was thinking about whether or not to post this blog, because i have no pictures to go along with the stories. For those who don't know this about me, i have difficulty reading. It's not that i can't read the words, the problem is more that if something isn't exciting enough for me my mind wanders. So there are very few books i like, because very few can keep my attention ( thankfully the Bible is a one that can). But anyways my actual thought was. A blog without pictures is like a book without pictures. So i'll put some color into the letters, but that's as close to a picture as your gonna get. haha.

Friday. Friday was so much fun. Everyone in my family besides me and Michael went to Angela's wedding, so it was just me and Michael at home. I could spend every weekend with Michael. I made steak and Mac 'n' cheese. We went to Krogers and got cookies, then went to Paisano's and ordered a delivery pizza and salad. Spent the rest of the night relaxing.

Saturday. First of all let me say that i love rain. It is probably my favorite weather besides snow, which is basically frozen rain. Went out with my aunt Annette for most of the day. Ate the most expensive breakfast ever, did some errands, shopped a little bit. Home, hung out with everyone here, which is always fun. Played board games, chess, backgammon, risk ( or at least tried to play risk haha). Me and Amanda ran around our street in the rain, splashing in puddles of mud. We rinsed off in the rain, and didn't have enough time to take a shower, because right when we got back we started the movie. It was just an all around fun two days. =)

Go Put the Baby in the Dryer

2008-08-30T21:55:00.003-04:00

Today was fab. Victoria spent the night, and we just waddled around all day. Went to Nana's, Saw Zoey, ect.. oh yah, did i mention we saw Zoey.!!!!!. she is so adorable, and i even held her. then went to Scarlett's birthday party. She's a little princess, and madeline was so cute helping her open all the presents.

3 in 1

2008-08-26T12:13:00.003-04:00

Three days in one post. Starting with Saturday.

Saturday just hung around at my house, then went out with Amanda. We got some lunch at the Nautical Deli, and went and got some lemon ice afterwards. yum. Then i went and babysat Scarlett and Juliette with Michael. Ha. it was so funny. We were trying to feed Juliette, and i looked over at Mikey, and the next thing i knew the sweet potatoes were all over Juliette, and Scarlett comes over to "help" ha. it was a mess. then Michael left, and victoria came. So much fun. I dont have any pictures of her though, just a really good video.

Sunday was so much fun.!. i got to hang out with BEAUTiFUL janelle pierik. We went to the mall, and stuff. Then babysat Alina and Madeline, which was funn. Got some chinese takeout. Went to the park. ect.

Janelle rocking Alina to sleep.

Us at the park

Monday. Slept over Nina's on Sunday, so i woke up to Madeline's wonderful voice. ha. She is so cute, and she loves Michael. Was tis Miiiike. ha. it's way cuter when she says. The highlight of that day was definitely when Madeline couldn't get a piece of paper off her foot. She would take it off, and then i would (sneakily) put it back on. Three steps later she noticed it on there again tried to take it off. i geuss you had to be there. Went to the park, costco, toys r us, and played with chalk. Sooooo much fun, i love being with them.

Once we got home it was all cleaning, before my Mom returned home from Florida.

So tired.

Amazingly Wonderful, and Wonderfully Amazing

2008-08-23T00:19:00.003-04:00

Today today. What did i do today.... oh yah. Welll i really didn't do much in the a.m. But Aunt Annette picked up me and Mikes today, and we hung out with her. We went to Mexican Village, which was semi good. Semi meaning the salsa, chips, and water was delish. I geuss i was expecting food more along the lines of, Taco Bell. ha. Anyways after eating we went to the mall, and then to the movies. i would like to say that i love my brother Michael so much. Sometimes we have our off days, but when we have our on days they are the funnest ( i know its not a word, but it is in my dictionary) days/ moments of my life. Back to Aunt Annette's were we had blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, pineapple, mango, and Dippin' dots. Yumo. it's so weird how much Aunt Annette reminds me and Spoots of my Dad, she'll say something, and it will be exactly what my Dad would've said, or how he would've responded. I love them both so much. Fun Day.

2008-08-16T01:41:00.005-04:00

Today was a fabulous day. I started of by hanging out with one of my best buds, Madeline. Then our Bff Nina picked us up, and we headed to target, and a few other places. Got backed to Nina's house, without Madeline and hung out. Sooooo much fun. Nina says she is not that exciting. PSHhhhh. She doesn't have to be, excitement just flows out of her. I had the absolute best time in the world. I imagine hanging out with her would be like hanging out with the older sister i never had. Been looking forward to this all week, and you didn't let me down. Thanks Nina i love you a ton.!. Oh, and thanks for curling my hair. =)

Putting before the Dindin.

On the green.

Even though i don't have an older sister, an older brother works too. And i love him EVER so much.!. He is sooooo amazing.

After completing this post i realized two things. One i wasn't the last one to post it. And two, i didn't put any pictures of the bride or groom. Relating to the one. Woot Woot.!. finally i'm not last. haha. And relating to the two. Nina will have them, i don't know when, but sometime after me. =) Cause i finished first. haha ( <-- happy laugh, NOT evil laugh right there.)

5. When i'm about to eat i get reeeeally happy.
6.When i'm at home i haaave to brush my teeth before i go to bed. Even if i fell asleep while i was watching a movie, i still turn on the bRiGhT bathroom lights and brush my teeth before going to bed.

Jeanette's description of today...

We were roughly aroused by Nana at ten am! We back to rachie's, and got on our summers best for the RCO picnic. When we arrived thoughts of sugar plums were dancing through our heads. They wouldn't let us ride double on the GoKarts, so we had to single handedly womp butt. We then proceeded to the bowling allies. Where I took the lead on the pins. We struck those things like no tomorrow. After our shoes were full of sweat, because we had no socks we headed over to the ice cream stand for a lemon ice. Then we went to the next GoKart and Rachel got the slowest one ever. I overlapped her... three times. After that humiliation we headed to the arcade to let our worries run wild. We played jump 'o' rama, jungle safari, whack an alien, and spin 'n' win. If we had any problems (which many occurred) we would seek help immediately, and help came. We headed out to the GoKarts for one last round before the storm came. Then we hit up the arcade again to retrieve our prizes. We got a blowup palm tree and a blow up sun with glasses. 8) . We then headed home to watch aquamarine, and have a tickle fight. Then we came home made peanut butter balls, blablabla. night night.

Well today was the big surf comp. in Hunington. After walking around there and getting a BUNCH of free stuff, we shopped around the stores. I Picked out a pretty sweeet sweatshirt, and my Dad bought me two shirts ( thanks daddy ). After meeting up with everyone Michael informed me that my sweatshirt was not so sweeet, and he even said that i have "no taste in sweatshirts". Well i hate to say it, actually its pretty cool saying Michael picked out my new sweatshirt. And yes, compared to the one i was going to buy it makes me look like i have no taste in sweatshirts. It is sweeeeet, with FiVE e's. Matt, Nina, Madeline, George, Bree, Scarlett, and Juliette are in.!. Went to the beach with them. Soooo adorable. Madeline loves seaweed, and is fearless of the ocean. She'll just go running into it, no prob. Oh, and Scarlett was with her mom and was crying for me.!. oh. and on the way off the beach every other step Madeline had to dig up a pile of sand with her shovel. i just love those two soooo much. Best vacation EVER.!. Home agains. Awe. Aunt Judy and ian are leaving. So sad. Wed parted with some good marshmellows though. Yumo. Great day on Vaca.

2008-07-23T02:44:00.002-04:00

I don't think i have ever laughed so much or for so long in my life. Today was so much fun and awkward. Started off by picking up Russell and Andrew from the airport. Me and my Mom must've circled that airport at least twenty (no joke) times. Because we couldn't park and their luggage was taking an extraordinarily long time to get unloaded. Then we headed straight for the beach. Boogie Boarding. Yah. Well lets just say that Russell and Andrew left me in my time of need. They did.!. i know, i wouldn't have believed they would do such a thing either. But Russell left me for a wave and Andrew left me for some lessons in boogie boarding, and there was me and some seventeen year old, in the middle of an ocean, just us two. Awkward much? And it's not that i can't handle those kind of situations, but usually i can run away or make a very smooth exit. But when you're in the middle of an ocean the only thing you can do is catch a wave, and every wave i caught he caught too. But anyways. We played this charades game tonight, hahahaha Papa was so funny. I got the best ab workout of my life.!. Ok so we were all supposed to write down eight famous people, and those would be the people that we had to explain with just words, then act out, then explain with one word. Well Papa put down his neighbor, some guy from his baseball team, and all these other different people from his past. We couldn't stop laughing because noone would know who it was and then when the time was up he would say... OOOOh yah Spotty, he used to be on my baseball team. Maybe you had to be there. Another good day in Calii.

On top of a Whale.

2008-07-21T00:57:00.004-04:00

Right now i'm in California.!. I would like to take this moment to thank my mom for all the hard work she puts into this vacation. She is so amazing. Not only does she plan out the whole vacation from airplane tickets to the resort we stay in, she also is my personal shopper. Somehow she always finds me the perfect bathing suites. The only bathing suites i have, she picked out for me, bought them, and when i tried them on they fit perfectly. She is so amazing, and i love her sooooo very much. I'm am so lucky to have such a wonderful mom who loves me. Going to the camp this week made me realize all the more how wonderful my Mom truly is. I could go on forever, but i wont. Today was fun fun. i was so lucky to sit by a really nice, funny, girl on the plane. We talked for four hours, straight. Today was so funny. Me, Nana, Papa, my Mom, Michael, Aunt Judy, and Ian together, is so funny. It's like nonstop laughter. We went shopping for food, and bought soooo much stuff. I bought a mango and thought of Aunt Karen, I can't wait until she gets here and we get to eat them together. There are so many things i'm looking forward to. The sooner I get to bed, the sooner tomorrow happens. Nighty nights.

2008-07-12T22:43:00.002-04:00

Well today was fun. Exciting because me and Michael are leaving for camp tomorrow. Nothing really in the AM. Tennis with the fam until it started raining, me and Dad beat my Mom and Michael. So funny. Then we went and ate at Golden Chopsticks, this amazing chinese restaurant. I know horoscopes are bad, but i just think its funny that they classified me as a monkey. then went and painted at Jesse's. Not that you could tell by looking at me... haha. jk. yah, i'm pretty much covered in white paint. It was so much fun spending time with my cousins (Jesse and Bethany), my future cousins (Amber and Mike), and my family (Dad, Mom, and Michael). Now Tristin is over. Fact. He spent 250 dollars on gas to get from Myrtle Beach to, well, my house. Wowza. Packing now for camp.!. Wooohooo. kind of last minute, but better late then never.

Fire

2008-07-10T00:58:00.003-04:00

Well church was pretty amazing tonight... it packed science, humor, and an awesome message into two short hours. Lori, i don't know how you do it. :) . Well when i went home, God gave me some words that went along with the message, and a melody to go along, so i geuss i have a song, that i absolutely love... I titled it fire because it's about our message from tonight.

Lord, let your fire burn
burn inside of me
fill me with your love
fill me with your peace
let your fire spread
spread to all i see
let your fire spread
starting out with me

your fire spreads to anyone
who accepts it, who will let it
once they have it inside of them
will they keep it, or extinguish it

no pit can hold me in
no water slow me down
now that you're inside of me
i can't even stop myself

...work in progress.

Smiles

2008-07-10T00:04:00.006-04:00

Ok. Well i should probably start off by typing about last night, because that's were the fun began. After tennis lessons, my wonderful friend Victoria came over. Since it was too late to go to Russell's soccer game, we decided to invite Cedes over to watch Wipeout and " I Survived a Japenese Game Show". Two completely different kinds of funnies. Wipeout is just funny, because people are getting wacked by huge donuts, and trying to find poles (hahaha), and the japenese show is funny because the audience is CRAZY. After watching that we decided to watch "Pride and Prejudice", which happens to be my new favorite movie. Why? you might ask. Welll for two reasons.
1. There are so many different twists and turns throughout the movie.
2. The whole time i'm watching the movie there is a huge smile on my face, and i'll start laughing when the movie gets awkward. . . like in this pic. =)

It may sound like we're a bunch of bums, but it was a tuesday after all. Tor spent the night... yay. Ok so today was so much fun. I got to go to the zoo with some of my favorite people. Aunt Judy, Madeline, Michael, Mom, and Nina. It was so much fun, Madeline was so cute.!. As usual.

Started off by looking at the monkeys.

Sooooo Cute.!.

Relaxing

Smooching the wall.!.?.

Chow timE

Another break

Smiles

Madeline walked all the way up to the statue just to bonk it on the head

Beautiful

There's my Mom.!.

Me by the Bathrooms... ha.

What a wonderful day,., full of smiles.

Whirlyball... YO.!.

2008-07-07T16:51:00.003-04:00

Wowza. This weekend had to be one of thee funnest weekends of my life. Fourth of July (Independence Day) is my new favorite holiday, officially. On the actual fourth of july i went to my Aunt Karen's house. The food was soooo good i don't think i ever stopped eating. We also flew kites which was so much fun and soo funny. Ha. The things people will do in order to get a kite into the air. Eventually all of our kites were up in the air, and we even had time to pause and go sing happy birthday to Amber and Christa. The fireworks were so amazing this year. Saturday was my "day after independence day" party. We played whirlyball, cards, and even a little basketball. Oh and we chowed down on all of our doritos. Ha, what a huge mixup. i thought stephanie was bringing the doritos in the red bag, and julie thought she was bringing the doritos in the blue bag, soooo i bought a bag of blue, and julie brought a bag of red, and stephanie brought two bags of red and one of blue... So we ended up with fOUR bags of doritos. Yumi.

Fun Day

2008-07-02T23:22:00.002-04:00

Today was such a fun day i am typing this in yellow. Even though yellow isn't one of my favorite colors, it always reminds me of bright sunny days and today was one of those days. Jewels came over, and we went and played tennis with Steph and my mooma. Then Danny got dropped off at the courts and we went to sleven, which always sounds like a good idea at the time, but afterwards I always wish that i would've gotten a water instead. Not because of the calories or anything like that.. just because sometimes water is the only thing that can quench my thirst. Then we all went back to the homestead and planned for the BiG "day after fourth of july" party. ha. It's going to be awesome. After steph left =( we ate =) and then picked up cedes, and went to Russell's soccer game, which they won.!.

I met the cutest little girl named Lauren.

On the way home we got some Krispy Kreme donuts. Delish. The ultimate donut for me would be chocolate iced glaze. If you want you can let me know what your favorite donut is. And if you need any ideas here is a website giving you a picture and the name of some Krispy Kremers . Did some other stuff including: three water balloon fights, watched " i survived a Japanese game show", and caught a spider for Victoria's project.!. yes i did it woohooo.

PlUNGE

2008-06-23T22:10:00.002-04:00

So. plunge was tonight. And rj wrote this song especially for plunge.!. It is so amazing, and so powerful, i absolutely love it.!. It's so good that i don't care that it is stuck in my head, and probably will be stuck there for the a while. Here are the lyrics.

I've come to find

this God of mine

you've shown your mercy

I come in thirsty

I'm here to learn

I'm here to burn

I'm here I'm desperate

I'm coming separate

This is your moment

this is your hour

hence forth

Even in a dungeon

I just want to plunge in

To your word

I've come to find out

how you'll consume me

From the inside out

I'm here cause I love you

You come from above

to quench my thirst

I no longer thirst

for the worlds price

you now come first

It ain't rolling the dice

and then back to the chorus again. And when Rj plays it on the guitar it sounds so awesome. It is officially my new favorite song.

Jewels.!.

.Now this is one lucky ducky.

Spidersss....

2008-06-14T01:02:00.002-04:00

Victoria came over today,., after trying to finish writing all our letters, and doing some yoga, we went to Cedes to watch Iron Giant. Best movie Ever.!. well at least one of the best movies. Then we got dropped off back at our house. And we decided to go outside and check the weather out... That's when we saw it... a HUGE spider,,, ok maybe a medium sized spider... it was still pretty big. We decided to try and catch it, because tor needs some whole spiders, butterflies, ect for her project. ( so if you have any just let me know,., hahaha) . After three futile tries, we decided that our failure was because of the lack of a theme song. So we bought the James bond theme song. And tried a few more times to catch four of the many spiders. Victoria's job was to keep the flashlight on the spider, but each time i would hit the spider out of the web, and she would lose the spider, then we would run, thinking it was going to attack us, bolt the door, run into my room, and calm ourselves down. Let's just say we still need those spiders.

Tornado

2008-06-09T14:11:00.003-04:00

Well yesterday was exciting.!. After waking up from the four hours of sleep i got, i went to church (thanks lori for driving me). It was spread the fire in the main. Woohoo.!. it was so much fun, i didn't mess up, didn't get nervous, and didn't have no fun.. which basically means i did have fun, i was trying to go along with the whole didn't thing. Daniel's graduation was after that. it was so much fun. awkward. fun. after dinner and eating about three ice creams, i heard Aunt Karen say, boy i thought it was going to rain, immediately after that, literally, it started pouring. Then someone said there was a tornado heading this was, so we all ran inside. ha. After the worst was over me and Jeanette decided to investigate the scene. We heard there was someone at the party that actually saw the tornado rip of the person across the streets house. So we hunted him down to get the actual facts. it was our very own Michael G. After hearing his story we ran around the whole,., WHOlE, neighborhood twice, taking pic's and talking to other neighbors that we didn't know. Then we walked back and forth to a huge tree that was knocked down. four separate times with four different people. I love tornadoes, and thunderstorms, lightning... i think they make everything a little more exciting,., and interesting.

Whoops

2008-05-29T21:56:00.003-04:00

Well today was interesting. . . well it was to me at least. Russell has allergies, so i was looking up some different home remedies to help. I looked it up on google, yahoo, and a mom's website. So the best home remedy for allergies, i couldn't do because i didn't have all the ingredients, i also couldn't do the second best, third best, fourth best, ect. What i did do was give him some benadryl with a glass of water. Then took the one idea that i actually had all the ingredients for and made it. Very simple. Just boil water and add alot of salt, then inhale it until it stops steaming. I have no clue if it worked.

The pictures are of Andrew, and the huge mess he made. He was a little hungry ( like he usually is when he comes over) and after complaining for a while about how we have nothing to eat (which is very true) he decided to pull out a watermelon. Then he put the watermelon over my mom's head and said "look i have a watermelon on my head", and next thing yah know, the watermelon was smashed on the ground next to andrew who was also laying on the ground...

Let's go fly a kite...

Today was a wonderful day... It started with me going to my work out class with mom and aunt judy,., which i do every saturday... actually it started at like two in the morning with me and michael whooping some people from Japan in mario kart. Then, six hours later i went to the work out class. Uncle Gary and me went out to get some Jimmy Jons. The subs were made so fast i freaked.!. Kite flying next, it was really bright out, and russell tangled mine and amandas kite, so for like a half hour we were untangling rope, and somehow it all ended up around me,., but it was still fun. Oh. here's a little something funny that i said on the way back from shopping. "alright lets play a game. we can't say anything negative until we get home. I bet none of us can do it."

One of my Fav's

2008-05-15T22:00:00.005-04:00

This is proberly one of my absolute favorite poems, the last two lines are my favorite part, but if you don't read the whole thing the last two lines will probably not make sense, so read it, all.

Dusting, Julia Alvarez

Each morning I wrote my name
On the dusty cabinet, then crossed
The dining table in script, scrawled
In capitals on the backs of chairs,
Practicing signatures like scales
While mother followed, squirting
Linseed from a burping can
Into a crumpled-up flannel.

She erased my fingerprints
From the bookshelf and rocker,
Polished mirrors on the desk
Scribbled with my alphabets.
My name was swallowed in the towel
With which she jewelled the table tops.
The grain surfaced in the oak
And the pine grew luminous.
But I refused with every mark
To be like her, anonymous.

babysitting

2008-05-10T23:37:00.003-04:00

After going to my workout class with my Mom and Aunt Judy, victoria came over. Then we went to my dad's work with danny and michael. i think Victoria finally got the concept of "no tag backs"... kind of. Then we had the honor of going and babysitting isaac and madeline. They are so stinking cute, and they are so much fun to babysit because they are so cute together. The highlight of the night was a tie between my amazing bedtime stories, and isaac getting hit in the head twenty times by madeline. It was only fair because he stole her book.

Yumi.!.

it's raining snow again.!. My mooma got a new car,., it is deep blue,., but it's really vibrant... it's not a boring blue, like some cars. School went good,., and college went wonderful because i got a 100% on my homework.!. Home,., cleaned for my mom,., and i tried out this new recipe from a magazine.. its cooling right now. The ingredients are honey, granola, and sugar. But i like to make things my own so i added in a few more ingredients. I also made cookies for my mooma's class at church. Those are definitely going to turn out yumi because they have chocolate in them.!. I wont be able to try anything until tomorrow though,., because i am fasting all food, which is amazing. Not the fasting food part, but the fact that even though i'm fasting i'm not hungry. I know God's helping me,., because normally all i do is eat. That's why i love cooking,., because i get to eat the finished product. Off to church now because i'm singing...

Home.,., homework.. bed hopefully soon...

Well. today was good. i'm a little tired because of the long weekend... and Victoria.. i love her. After school, college, and piano. I cooked an amazing dinner... Appetizer. My healthy twist on potato skins... main dish. Sliced chicken. Desert. cinnamon bread with roasted cinnamon nuts. Yumi. Yoga after that... ha. well everything was going good until they told us to relax every muscle in our body, and close our eyes, and not think about ANYthiNG... so i didn't.. and i fell asleep. ha. for the last like five minutes of class. My mooma didn't even wake me up. All of a sudden i heard ashimomo. and i sat straight up, and couldn't help but smile... the class was over... and my mom was laughing at me.

Freezing.. brr. i love the cold, but i hate the wind. Church, then AlOt of homework for college. I have officially decided that Paul is my favorite person in the Bible, but that could change very soon, because there are many other people that i haven't completely studied. He is so upfront and bold about everything that he has to say, he doesn't mess around with putting it delicately, he just says it how it is. I want to be like that to a certain extent. ha. i don't want to be too harsh. I went over Cede's today. Ha. we made the shirts for T.o.M. they are turning out amazing,., they are half way done, we still haven't done the backs. It was so much fun, and i only messed up a couple of times,., but only because i am horrible at drawing hearts, especially when it's with permanent ink. Ha, one of the hearts was so bad that i had to turn it into a turtle. It is a cute turtle, though.ok. bed now, because when i was with tor, i didn't get any sleep, ha to much coffee. Rainbows to donkeys... 1,2,3. ha. I love Victoria so much, she is so amazing. I can trust her, and she even does me amazing favors. LIkE in the summer time, with nipper... So gross.

i love cooking.!.

2008-01-16T15:36:00.000-05:00

Well January is the month of prayer and fasting, so i've been fasting junk food, which includes drinks, and All food on Wednesdays... So the past three wednesdays my mom has decided to put me in charge of dinner... It is so hard not sampling any of the food, or eating the finished product... The first week i made hamburgers, last week i made stuffed green peppers ( yumi ), and this week i made a chop salad... they all turned out good, but i can't eat any of them until the next day, ha, so i'm eating leftovers. Juliett Anne Girgenti was born saturday... Me and Mikey went over to babysit for Scarlette while they were at the hospital... it was fun because we were the only ones there, but Scarlette woke up in the middle of the night and wouldn't go back to sleep except if she was sleeping on me... She is sooo cute, i love her so much.!. Well now i have to get back to cleaning up the big mess i made from the chopped salad,., there's lettuce everywhere and pots and pans that need to be washed... t.t.f.n

We went and picked him up, and headed to Dad's work. It was all fun and games until someone breaks a leg,,, or an arm.. Yep.,. JojO broke his arm,., we rushed him to the emergency room.. ha. 7-11. Noah came and he was like... "are they going to cut his arm off.?." . . .His arm was really bent, and he broke (fracture(same thing)) his arm.
