Hey everybody, I hope all of you have a great Christmas, remembering that this was the day that Christ was born in a manger to later die on the cross for our horrible sins. There is no way for me to say how thankful I am that God chose ME to be saved by his son's death, out of the depths of sin! I'm glad we can have one special day to reflect when Christ was first born to later save us.I hope everybody has a great Christmas and New Year as we move into 2009! (I can't believe it!)Love you all,AES
Today Elle and I went over to the Ellise's to make cookies/deviled eggs. (don't ask why such random food) Well anyways I got these new jeans which I love! but they are just a little too long for me. So as we were cleaning up the kitchen there was some water on the floor and I didn't want to get my new jeans wet on the bottom. So I sat down to roll up the cuffs of my jeans. The first one rolled up fine, but as I started to roll up the second leg I saw a disgusting cockroach! sitting comfortably in my jeans and probably upset when I discovered it. It probably got more upset when I started screaming and shaking my leg violently to try to get it out. I could feel it's antenae and little legs crawling up my leg which of course, made me scream louder and kick my leg harder. I was almost about to take my jeans off in the kitchen but I didn't of course =] instead I just went outside and shook the jeans so hard I probably undid a couple of seams. I can now feel its little legs still on my shin and I'll probably never wear jeans that are too long for me again....
For our Resurgence Christmas party, we had a costume party and everybody had to dress up. We had contests for the best decorated cookie, the best outfit, and the best singing group for karaoke.
Here are some pictures from it (sorry a lot of them are blurry and got cut off, so if you wanna see the full picture click "view all images" on the slideshow) I dressed up as a girl from the 50's and well you can just guess who everybody else was by their pictures :) The person who won best dressed was dressed as Willy Wonka! Enjoy.
Well we aren't doing much this year, but this post's for Connor.
On Christmas eve our family usually piles into our car, and go look for some of the best-lit houses.
Then Christmas morning we usually don't wake up too early, and we go downstairs to a delicious breakfast my mom makes! We have different food every year, so I'm not sure what we'll have this year. So anyways, we eat breakfast, and sit down at the table to read the Christmas story out of the Bible. after that we start opening presents. Usually we take turns, but some years my parents just let us open them all at once. We also do secret Santa for just us kids, so we only have to buy for our dad, mom, and our secret Santa! It works out quite nicely =] I have already bought one of my presents, so I'm feeling pretty good so far.
After all of the morning stuff, we usually just hang out, and enjoy each other, and our new gifts =]
So there ya go Connor! (If i forgot something I'll add it in another post)

Colossians 3 15-17
And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Hope everybody has a great Thanksgiving!!
P.S. What are you doing for Thanksgiving? Leave a comment and tell me =]
I went to clean our upstairs hall bathroom today, and found that the shower would not come clean because the drain was so plugged that no water would not go down. (big run-on sentence) So tonight I asked my dad if he could un-plug the drain. He does this probably about once every 3-4 months. So as he started cleaning it out what came out of that drain was not pretty...I must warn you this is very disgusting and is
NOT for the faint-hearted...
I have nothing else to say on this matter...
Well since Nov. 7, 2007 I've been blogging! I love doing my blog, and am so glad it's already been a whole year. I'm hoping I can keep blogging for another year. Thanks to all who read my blog, and all who comment!
love you all!

Here is my post for the week :D
Yesterday was a very fun, and crazy day! In the morning we had co-op (It was fun that day) and did the rest of our school. After school, Rachel, Hope, Makenzie, Elle and I all met outside our house so we could "dread lock" Rachel's hair. (a bunch of small braids to make her look more like a guy). Then all of us got our outfits on to go trick-or-treating. (this was Elle and I's first, and last time). Rachel, Elle, and I dressed up as our music video making band: RAG :) We had some pizza first (which sorta made me feel sick :P ), then all of us older kids got going getting candy! We ran into some interesting (and a little scary) poeple, but all in all it was very fun, and we got a lot of candy! Here are some pics of that night :) BTW, RAG isn't supposed to be smiling as I'm sure you'll notice, and the last picture is what Rachel's hair looked like after we took all of those braids out!
I am going to be posting either on Friday, or Saturday, so be prepared for a post!
(nothing exciting has happened to me yet cause it's only the middle of the week, that's why)
*random picture till I have exciting ones...
Well I'm not quite sure where to start. This past week has been very interesting. I'll start with the not so good...
It all happened on a Tuesday afternoon, Rachel G and I were just walking to Johnson's corner, and decided to stop and sit down in their front yard. All the neighbor kids were playing in the yard across the street, so between playing with Malibu (Rach's new ipod touch) and watching the kids playing football, we were perfectly content just sitting there on the curb.....Then it hit me...literally. I heard someone yell watch out! and then a plastic (yes plastic) light saber hit me right on my head. I felt a little dizzy and sorta nauseous, and it hurt...a lot, but it was nothing I couldn't handle....so I thought. As I looked down to look at Rachel's ipod, I say something drop into my hand. Something red (aka blood)...the first thought that went through my head was oh no... my new clothes! My second thought was that my head got cracked open and I wasn't really gonna survive. Suddenly everything started spinning and my vision sorta got fuzzy(not like it isn't fuzzy already:P ) I felt really naseous, so I all of a sudden just collapsed on the grass and closed my eyes, and tried not to think about my head. Everybody sprang into action staring at me :) and saying stuff (most of which I didn't hear) Finally Mrs. Johnson (the owner of the yard I was getting blood all over) came out with a wet rag and started asking me questions. Long story short my dad came and looked at my head and saw no major injury, so I just walked home and washed my hair! (which was filled with blood!) I did get a picture, but have decided against putting it up here due to the um...let's say disgustingness of it lol
The next day I was feeling more nauseous than ever which wasn't a great thing since that morning at 9:30 AM I was scheduled to have 4 teeth pulled! After about 2 hours (my teeth are very stubborn) I was done, and feeling like I was going to throw up! the rest of the day until about 4 I had a fever, and was laying on the couch. Besides not being able to chew, and having a sore head, I have healed quite nicely from this week's drama! :D
Now on to the good!
I was able to finish a Literature paper that was due the same week I had all those problems, so I'm very grateful that it turned out relatively good. I also bought a 16g itouch for an extremely good price! even though it's only the first generation, I'm glad it was so cheap. (I have yet to recieve it though :P I'm hoping it will be here soon) besides all of this, I have been able to go see a movie, get fall clothes, and play with my friends :) I'm grateful that God has healed me so quickly, and I'm looking forward to church tomorrow.
Now I'll be surprised if you're at the end of this post and read the whole thing!
I hope to post about something in sooner than a week :P
with love,

As for the title: Pietrisycamollaviadelrechiotemexity, it means something along the lines of "I must admit I haven't the faintest idea of what is going on here."
just thought I would tell anybody who wondered, it's not a real word, just a funny word from a great book!
This past week we had a (big), fluffy and cute visitor at our house! Yes, we had the privilege to
