I went running today. Apparently the trail was absolutely destroyed in last night's storm. I'll be more careful next time . . .

allstate!!!

HEEYYYYY y'alll!!!1

so, if i don't blog about this, the next time i talk to heather, she'll make me get on the computer and blog about it right then and there. :D

All-State was just GOSH DARNNN AAAAAAAMMMMAZZINGGGG!!! :D Seriously, i loved it so much! it was such an amazing experience!! Mom said the SSAA choir was better than SATB.. doesn't happen very often.. :D hehehe. I'm really excited to get my CD!!

Sadly, my choir director wasn't able to come, because the music department trip was scheduled for the same weekend. He was intending to drive down on Saturday for the concert, but his car broke down. :( And the only reason he drove up to Williamsburg, where the dpt trip was, was to drive to Fredericksburg for me on Saturday, and his car broke. :(

And apparently I get a certificate and a MEDAL!! How exciting is that??? I haven't gotten them yet. The director I was under is mailing them to Mr. Bowen. :) I'm so excited! I didn't know I got a medal!!! WOOT WOOT YAYYY!!!

ANYWAYSSS!!! That was more than I intended to write, and I would love to give you more details! Just call me!!!! :D I love you all SOOOOOO much!!!! Photo Friday tomorrow!! Don't forget!!!
i'll try and take some pictures of the BEAUTIFUL scenery surrounding our everyday life and put them up. It's amazing. SOOO green and lush. like you're driving through the middle of a forest. :)

Just Sitting Around

One day last week while working on the computer the boys gathered around to be with mom and Jacob, as usual, found the best seat in the house--I don't know how he does it but I had to take a pic and share it!  

Cookbook update continued

We made "Aji de Pollo," and it was great!  We took James' suggestion and used salt instead of ajinomoto (MSG) and it worked really well.  If you make it, put 1 and 1/2 tsp salt instead of ajinomoto (you can add more salt to taste at the end).  Two tips:  First, when you blend the crackers, milk and peppers, add some of the saved chicken broth.  Otherwise, it won't mix up well or pour out well.  Secondly, the consistency is supposed to be like a thick soup (like chili, but without chunks), so that it can spread over rice but is not runny.  Good luck if you want to make it, call if you have questions!

Spring is in the air!

A little fishing...



A little Easter....
And story time with Grandpa....
Could it get much better? Yep, we are camping tomorrow! Eventually I will blog that too. Enjoy the pictures!

prom!

so here is my prom story i guess.

I got up like, 10, and mom and i went to target, and i got some awesome shoes. :) we came home, did my hair cuz mom is amazing like that. (except i did make the actual twist...)
Then i did my makeup etc, and put on some cool nails,(that are still on, i should add... $5!!)
and finished getting ready and cody came, and we finished up our getting readiness, and mom took some lovely pictures. :) thanks mom.Then we went to dinner, (1/2 an hour late, but that's ok...my fault!) it's because mom cares. she had to make me a bag, and i didn't even take it. but she had to make it cuz she cares. :) anyways, we went to Applebees, and that was good. We thought there were only going to be 4 of us, but there were 8. fun fun.

Then we went to Prom. Some stuff happened with some cars, we danced, (but most of the music was really stupid), so we sat a lot, but hey! i thought it was fun!!!

so yeah. that was my junior prom. got home about 11:30. Didn't go to after prom. i heard it was lots of fun, though.

me again

hellooo!!!
goodnews!!!
i'll be able to come to the family reunion!!!! atleast, probably.
i'm a delegate alternate for governor's school. so if some people just decide they don't wanna go, (psh, don't know WHY that would happen), i could go. but the chance is pretty slim.
So i didn't get a rejection. I just didn't get an acceptance. :) positive me.
gotta go finish getting ready!! my hair is prettty! :D
