It seems like this year we have almost completely skipped Fall! It was pretty warm here until last week, then we went straight into freezing cold. On top of all of that, the rain has continued pretty much every day, so the leaves have just been falling off before even changing. It's kind of sad that we haven't been able to experience the beautiful sight of changing leaves on the trees. I hope the weather will turn more Fallish soon hehe. If it doesn't, we might skip straight to Winter! As I type this, I feel like my hands are going to fall off because they're so cold :P
Oh well, at least I'm not dying of heat or anything ;)
Ever since the weather has gotten cooler, we have been having many more park days :) It's nice in the summer with no school, but in the Fall/Winter the weather is much more suitable to be outside :)
Here are some pictures of one of our "park days" from a few weeks ago!
The bird picture is a bird we found on our front porch when we got back home! I think he might have hit our front window, and was too shocked to fly away. So we put him in a little homemade nest in our basement, and kept him safe until he could fly again. :)
My parents went to a SGM leaders conference this weekend, so I havent had much time to post on here! I can't believe it's October already! The last 3 months have really flown by :P I guess I have just been keeping busy with school, running, and life :) School has been going pretty well. It's not my favorite thing to do, but for the most part it's relatively easy, and I can keep my grades up. Running is ok...I did not do my usual running this past week due to my parents being gone. So I feel out of the running mode right now. Hopefully I can get back in the groove by tomorrow! As for tonight, I have tennis. I don't really LOVE tennis, but as I have gotten better, I have slowly started to like it more and more. Maybe I will get some pictures of that tonight ;)
Well that's all for now, until next time...
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...
:)
