New friends, say Hello... then Goodbye

Danielle Stavros. One of my close, Godly friends. I meat her for the first time in the summer at this thing at my church called Girl Time. She and one of my other friend Taylor Parsley are moving this summer. They are moving to Austin Texas. I just really got to know them this year. We all go to the same school, same grade, and we all had older brothers and sisters that are also in the same grade. Its been an awesome year. We have had our up and downs, but we have done our best to stay close. Our grade is 10% Christan, the other 90%.... Well not Christan. People (at least me) want to make a change but get discouraged because of how many people aren't getting the message. I have lost a few best friends over the years. And I don't want to lose two more. I wish we could move with them to Texas and help them start their church. I've been praying about it and feel strong about moving with them. I understand that moving would mean losing a lot of other WONDERFUL friends, but we (I) feel strong about it. I will continue to pray about it but I ask that you pray for us. If we are going to move it means selling the house, finding new schools, getting packed, etc. I really hope we move with them. Please be praying for me and my family and keep following my blog as a growing Dancing Queen.

Christmas Eve!

Christmas is tomorrow! I just can not wait. Eating all the yummy, Christmas goodies is one of my favorite parts of the whole Christmas experience. We had a well done ham, green beans and bacon, fresh rolls, corn, and much more. For little appetizers we had some not done fudge, candy, cookies, etc. Am I making your mouth water yet? Well it was wonderful! And now we are going to clean everything up and open up some gifts! I'm going to be opening up my camera! I cant wait. Also in my family, because we have SOOOO many kids, we do Secret Santa's. This year I have Victoria. SHH don't tell her! HaHaHa. Tomorrow morning we are going to open the rest of the presents and go see the Squeakle! Its a tradition we do. Wonderland today was awesome. If you have never seen Wonderland at New Life Church, go see it! Well keep reading my life as a Dancing Queen.

When all said and done.....

WEDNESDAY! Wednesday was the day when everything was finally done. At 5:30, when most of yall were still asleep, I was wide awake getting ready to go to the hospital for my final step in this long process. It was about 6:10 when I went back to the room. The nurse talked to me and my parents about what was going to happen. She gave me my Iv and that was wired! Ha ha well then we went back to the operating room and I fell asleep. When I woke up I was in a different room and VERY dizzy. After about an hour I got to go home and from there well I fell asleep again! Then I went to _Tag and I was walking around and I felt GREAT! But today, my foot hurts so bad. Please be praying for me and my recovery. Thanks for all your prayers!

Of Course...

Hey guys, I know I haven't blogged in a while. In the time I have not blogged I have managed to break my toe. I know I know.... HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN!! I don't know but I have broke my big toe on my good foot! Well God has his reasons. I'm sure its a good one..... Well ya'll have a good day while I have to ice down my foot.... AGAIN!

RETREAT!

Before Retreat I was just a normal kid. But after going into the mountains to spend time with God really opened my eyes to see that I am a light. I can not believe I took, going into the mountains for 2 days for me to realize my importance in life. I really feel changed. It was so much fun at retreat! I got to meet new people, hang out and grow my relationship with friends, and grow stronger in God. I loved it so much. The last night there we stayed up easily till 2 in the morning praying. I truly was amazing! Thank you all that helped make it possible for me to go!

7th Grade

7Th grade is tough. Do you remember your 7Th grade year? Well mines filled with DRAMA, DRAMA and more DRAMA. There is so many amazing people I get to meet. Then there the people who u just HATE with all your heart.O and don't let me forget boys. If your a boy reading this.... stop. You wont understand. All I hear at school is who's dating who and which relationships are going to work or not. All i want to do in my 7Th grade year is get my heart strait with God. I'm spending a lot more time with Him now. I have started a prayer group for my school and its going to bring amazing things. Please be praying for me and if you have any advice... I could use some.

Forcast is Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs

Wednesday I got to go see a great movie with some friends. Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs is a wonderful family movie. Its filled with extreme characters and lots of excitement! Its one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. We were the only ones in the theater laughing. If your going to see a movie soon, I suggest this one. Its filled with humor and great characters. Ha ha ha I would love to go back and see it again.

_Tag Retreat

I'm so excited for the _Tag retreat this fall. This will be my very first retreat so its a biggy. But I have to raise $35 or I cant go...... Its not to much money but I still need it. So if you need a babysitter or someone to watch your animals I'm the girl you can call. I really want to go so please call me if you need me to do anything for you. If any of you would like to attend please come. Its going to be amazing. But its coasts $160 dollars. You can call me if you have any questions. Thanks so much!

Hey All My New Friends....

Hey you guys, I just wanted to let you know that this is my blog. It is a good way to keep up with activities in my life. I love hearing comments from all my pals so please leave some. Love you all and please keep in touch. Hope to get together with you soon!

Why....

I have been wondering, do i really need to have another surgery to get my screws out or can they just stay in? I'm pretty scared. I don't want another surgery but if it has to be done that's OK too. The thing that I worry about is school. I will be out for at least a day and that's a lot of extra school work. Plus ill be tired and sore. Well please be praying for me as I finish up my healing process.

Doin' Good

Hey guys, I haven't blogged in a while but it's because I've been very busy, trying to walk. Right now I can walk around my entire house with out my crutches. And at school I walk to my classes without them. I still go to Physical Therapy but It's getting a lot better. The first week of school has gone and I have made some new really great friends. My teachers have been getting a little more harsh but It's not to bad. My dancing career looks good from here as long as I keep doing my exercises. My friends first volleyball game and (Of course) the kicked butt. Unfortunately I had to miss out on all the excitement because of P.T. Well that's OK because why they were having fun beating the other team, I was learning how to walk.

Sooo...

OK I thought my first day of school would be a lot harder. But it wasn't, it was just hard. The getting around was OK but then came the teachers. Most of them weren't so bad but Latin...O and don't even make me go into History. All in all it was a pretty nice first day. I have a lot of small homework and I'm afraid I'm not going to remember all the things I need for each class. Plus I have bring things from home to "Express" myself. Any ways I got to go do homework.

A New School Year :)

Hey to all you bloggers out there, today I went to school for the second day and it was FREEZING. At my school we have this thing called Boot Camp. And when you get to 7th grade you spend two days getting to know people and finding your locker. I had a lot of fun but I couldn't do a lot. Well tomorrow is my first real day of school and I have Latin first. Great.... I hate Latin. Anyways, please be praying for me as I ease into this new environment.

Now What?

Hey guys, I got my cast on Monday and I thought my life would get a lot easier but it didn't. I have to wait 4 weeks till I can do any running, dancing, climbing, exc. Also I have to go to Physical Therapy like 2 to 3 times a week for 6 weeks. This my friends means I cant do any school activities, and school starts on Monday. No running, No P.E, No school sports and No dancing. I hope this time the 6 weeks will go by faster. But I don't need to forget the good stuff. I got to go swimming and we went to Elitches on Tuesday. Its going to get better. But please be praying for me.

Finally

Finally, the day has come. As you probity guessed I got my cast off. It was the best day of my life. But on the other hand it was also the grosses day in my life. As the nurse took it off I could see how disgusting my leg really was. There was dead skin everywhere. My foot was completely white. and the scar.... Never mind. Anyway after we got done at the Hospital me and my mom went through Chick-fil-a (My favorite place to go). And then went to the Wal-Mart and got pedicures. I sat down in the chair took off my brace and soaked my feet. It felt great but when I took my leg out of the water the lady gaged. I was so embarrassed. Then we went home and I got ready for a great dinner at Red Robbin. I was so happy when we got home that I could not fall asleep. Thank you for all of your prayers.

What is a True Friend?

A true friend is someone special, they are warm and tender. A true friend is always by your side, if only in your thoughts. A true friend is there for you willingly. A true friend is someone who listens and hears what you have to say. A true friend is never judgemental, and walks with you through the toughest times. A true friend will love you always, in them you can confide. A true friend will greet you lovingly, with opens arms. A true friend you cherish dearly, feeling grateful for their love. A true friend is very special, a blessing from above. A true friend will feel your presence, whether near or far.

I wrote this poem for all my true friends out there. I love you and I will always stay by your side.

My Little Eli

Today had one of those amazing life touching moments. My little Elias really opened up to me. I got to play on the swings with him and take him for a walk. This my friends is really exciting. Unfortunately I will most likely not remember it in a few weeks, or days. But the good news is that in just nine days I get this gross, disgusting, itchy cast off. Hip-Hip-Hurray! I am so excited. I'm like way beyond excited. I can NOT wait! Well tonight is ''family movie night'' so its time to turn in.

Help Me

Hey all you bloggers out there, I just wanted some advice on what to do when your extremely board. Having a broken leg allows you to... Well you can do... OK. You cant do anything and everything you can do you don't do it. My cousins are leaving tomorrow and I want to do something with them. But unfortunately they all are going to Garden of the gods, which you cant exactly go to if your in a wheel chair. Well as you can see my life is, well boring so talk to ya soon.

Can't wait!

Hey all you people out there. I am so excited to be getting my cast off. Its been about a month and I have 1 1/2 weeks left. I have missed out on a lot this summer but I have grown stronger in my relationship with God. He has showed me what it is to really persevere. I may have missed out on a lot but is has been one of the best summers in my life. This year I turn into a young woman. Yes I know it's gone by so fast. This year I got to join a young woman's group call Girl Time at my church. Its coming to a end and I'm really sad. I will miss all the leaders and friends. But when it's over, I will be one day closer to next years. I and going to be starting 7th grade in 3 weeks and I'm excited and scared. Well just know that I'm praying for all you out there.
