PlUNGE

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.!.

Spidersss....

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

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

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."

graduations

Legacy Graduations were tonight.!.
We had alot of fun eating the delicious cake and cupcakes, but some people had a little trouble getting it in their mouths.. haha. party in their tummy.

Happy graduation Janelle, Ryan, and Tor. I'm so excited that you'll finally be in my class. Three of my best friends.!. And happy birthday Ryan, i know me and cedes got you thee best present ever,., not the shirt ha the other thing with the thing.

Julie PanPan

Today me and Rachel um. what did we do.... hahaha. well. we uh. hung out and we played in the rain, played basketball in the rain with Michael, Danny and Tony. . . No doubt hahaha we won. Anyways... nonono. And we ate Mrs. Grass, with Andrew and Mrs. P.. Then watched Pinochio at Nanas. and went to the Macomb Mall with Rachel, Papa, Michael and Danny. And had a spectacular time... Michael likes bugs ( boys ) ( well at least better then julie , < ---- comment from rachel) . hahahaha. love you michael, alot. Julie. Well that's julie's definition of our day together,., if it doesn't make sense don't blame me, because i just typed it.

One of my Fav's

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

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.!.

What a delish meal.!. Turkey burgers greek style... Yumi.!.

T.o.M.

Ha.... I love you.!. in the Lord.

Meatballs for Breakfast

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...

Animal Crackers

School.,. enrich... ha.. the plan.. it worked. kindof. Mikey's basketball game afterwards... it was an hour and nine minutes away... So we had to get a little snack... My favorite snack in the world is animal crackers with apple juice.!. I love animal crackers,., especially the crackers that come in the box... those are yumi. Home.,., homework.. bed hopefully soon...

A little tired.

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. Picked up buddy from basketball. Home study bed...

.Raining*Snow.

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.!.

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

Wait Upon the Lord

You are the everlasting God
The everlasting God
You do not faint You won't grow weary
You're the defender of the weak
You comfort those in need
You lift us up on wings like eagles

Everlasting God

Got up... Janelle slept over,., we rushed to the dentist because we thought our appointment was today... it wasn't. since my Mom made us all get up early, she brought us to Mcdonalds... Yumi. Then we went home, played on the bean, watched Father of the Bride. 2. Then Me and Janelle made turkey burgers,,, well Janelle tried, and cinnamon puffins,,, she burnt them both.,, well the puffins were partly my fault,., so we covered them up with frosting... Post office,., Church,., Church.!. all worship service tonight because Jon D. was in town,., it was amazing... It's going to be hard fasting for the month though... So pray for me....
