It rained so much the past few weeks, that all around GA, and around us, the streets started to flood! This is a picture of a highway not too far from where we live. It's pretty crazy!
(n.) The state of being negligent; negligence.
Obviously I have been negligent towards my blog the past month. I'm going to start anew and really try to keep up with my posts, at least for the rest of the month :) I am not really blogging so much for other people to read, as I am just doing it for myself. (Although having readers is always a plus ^.^) I find that when I write down my thoughts, post pictures, etc, I feel more accomplished, and I'm glad that I saved that stuff to look back on later. So look for new posts in the future, preferably more often than once a month...
Catching up:
Rebelution Conference, 2009, Birmingham, AL.
At the end of August, Several teens from Resurgence traveled the 3 hour trip to AL, to attend a Rebelution conference! We went, and it was an excellent conference. Alex and Brett Harris spoke clearly and were very easy to understand. It was a great experience, and I'm grateful that I got to go. :)
Wisdom teeth out...
Last Tuesday I went to a surgeon to get my wisdom teeth out,(Surprisingly, I only had two) and also to pull down an impacted tooth. I must say that it was NOT the most comfortable thing in the world, but God came through for me, and it was not a horrible experience either ;) I was very swollen and bruised for the first week, and school was not my first priority that whole week. The following Friday I had co-op, and let's just say I was not 100% there :P I have recovered a lot more since then, but my mouth is still bruised and my impacted tooth is pretty painful. I hope to recover fully soon so I can get back to eating my normal foods!
That same Friday we celebrated Aliya's 18th birthday with a small pajama party :) We watched an old movie call "The Rear Window," and had cake and ice cream as well. Happy 18th birthday Aliya! I'm so thankful for you. You are a great example to me in so many ways, and I can't imagine my life without you! Thanks for being the best older sister in the entire world!!! =D I love you!
Besides all these events, I'm still actively training to run a half-marathon at the end of October. I did take a couple breaks due to sickness, or extreme business, but I am now back on schedule and hope to continue to the end :) I'll update more on this as I get into it more.
So, I'm pretty sure that I am all caught up on the most recent events. Please check back with my blog more often if you still read this ;) I really hope to keep updating it on a regular basis so I don't have to do these uber long posts. Haha
Until then...
I don't have a lot of time to post since I have to go to bed! Tomorrow we leave for the Rebelution conference in AL :) I'm really excited and can't wait! I hopefully will have something to share about that when we get back. Until then here's the link to the pictures from VA. Sorry I was bad and didn't take too many. A lot of them were bad quality too :P I had a lot of fun though and it was too short! Anyways here are the pics, hope you enjoy...
:)
Well, I just got through my last week of no school. I'm kind of excited of starting school, but I know it's going to take a few weeks to get on a normal schedule. After we start school on Monday however, we will be leaving three days later to drive to Virginia Beach, VA! :) We will only be there for about three days, but if it gets me out of a couple more days of school then I'm fine with that. So really the Monday after that is when our serious school schedule starts hehe.
On another topic, I am still running to train for a 10K/half marathon. I have been running at least three times a week, and I'm averaging about 13+ miles a week! This is very exciting to me, since before I could barely even run 1 mile without almost passing out lol. Although there are some routes that are pretty hard (e.g...the ones with hills), for the most part I have found running to be fun and almost relaxing :) I'm really excited about doing this running plan, and even if I end up not running any major races, I'll still feel like I accomplished
something.
Well that's all I have for now. I should have some pictures up from VA (If I take any :P) sometime next week. Hopefully I'll have something interesting to post until then!

Oh! I almost forgot! For several months now, one of the high C's on our piano has been broken, thus ruining several songs we tried to play. Well, finally we had a piano tuner/technician come in and fix the key! Words can't describe how happy this made me. Now I feel like I can play so much easier without having to worry about that one key lol
Ok that's all now =D I might post a vid of me playing one of my new favorite songs.
Friday night, Rachel B. had Rachel G. and I over for a fun night :) We decided to do a before and after makeover shoot hehe. Soooo, Rachel G was a crazy cheerleader, I was a messy singer, and Rachel B was a funky rocker lol. After our makeovers we were supposed to look more refined and proper, rather than messy and weird :) Thanks for a fun night girls, I'm so grateful for you both!
Here are the before and after pics:
For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
This one's for you Rach =]
