Well yesterday we went to the park (big surprise there), and I decided to bring Sully on his first adventure! Here are some pictures of Sully around the park :)

This is a fancy glove I found at the park a few weeks back. I took a picture of it. I think it turned out pretty good. What do you think? Leave a comment and tell me your thoughts on this oh so mysterious missing-a-match glove.
And what better news to bring with my 100th post then to say....I GOT MY PERMIT!!!
Yesterday, I finally drove over to the Drivers building along with Rachel Ganster, so we could both take our drivers test. I was so nervous, because I must admit I didn't really study much at all. We were only allowed to miss 5 questions for each section, and I am pretty happy to say that I only missed one! Of course I remembered the correct answer after I chose the wrong one lol. But anyways, we both passed, and I was soooo relieved after that.
I did not drive home (haha) but I did get to drive down our street =] I have never driven before obviously, so it was a little scary, but I think I can get used to it.
So that's the big news of the week!
Thanks for everybody who stayed with me through all 100 of my posts.
love,

Today, was a very interesting day, however.
First we were gonna do school, but instead we ended up babysitting some kids at our house, so my mom could go out to coffee with their mom. After babysitting for a couple hours, we ate lunch, then walked through the woods with Andrea. We walked all the way to Publix, and ate a couple donuts from there =] After that, we went to the park!!! yay!!! with 3 other people (they will remain nameless) After getting hit in my leg with a freezing football, falling on a SUPER SPIKY bush, and freezing almost to death, it felt great to be able to sit down in a warm house. That house was the Hollise's, where we watched a little tv, ate dinner, and played the pool game...crap. Yes it's a bad name, and we personally don't like to use that term lol
Anways, all in all, even though we didn't have school and had to miss a day, it was a great day! (now I just have to catch up on today's school tomorrow :P )
Here's what we do at the park =] We usually have contests to see who can get the highest first, and then who can stop the first, all without touching the ground. I don't really know what we're saying in this movie :P Also the camera person gets a little distracted. (We had a few unknown kids at the park watching our contest).
Hey people, sorry I haven't posted in a few days. I've have been trying to keep up with school and other random stuff.
Last week, we got the privilege to participate in helping with FOI (Friends Of Internationals), where you basically go and talk with International students from several different countries. Usually, we eat dinner, have a short bible study, then play some games and just talk. Our last meeting, we had a game night with 7 girls from Beijing, China. It was very fun to learn about where they came from, and to talk with them. (Some don't speak English that well, but you can usually understand them). I also got to make friends with a girl named Zhou Wei (her American name is Grace), and I hope to see her at more events in the future! :)
This Sunday, some families (including us) are going to have another Internationals bible study, so hopefully if I can get some, I'll try to post pictures from that.
Well that's all for now!

I love my Savior, Jesus Christ. I am so glad that He picked me out and saved me from death! I am also so grateful that Jesus died for my sins, so I could be here today, and one day meet Him face to face.
I like Blogger of course =]
I LOVE outdoors!
Gmail is great! =]
I love all my friends! I dont know where I would be without my great friends.
GA is one of my favorite states
Johnson's corner! I love this stop sign so much I look forward to seeing it as many days as possible!
VA beach, VA, is another of my favorites! I visit there almost every year, I'm so glad I'm able to do that!
Ah yes, Denver, CO, is probably my favorite state as of now. I spent 9 great years there!
I also loved hiking, and enjoying the great outdoors in the Rocky Mountains. (especially St. Mary's Glacier)
My church is one of the best things in my life.
My camera is such a blessing to me, because I want to be a photographer when I grow up. (that is my real camera)
I love my brown hair, and blue eyes :P It sounds weird, but I really am thankful for thicker hair, and eyes that are blue! (I love blue eyes :)
Canada geese are one of my favorite animals! I remember hearing thousands of them over the lake that we used to live by in CO. Those were some of my best memories.
I am thankful for my promise ring! this looks a lot like the one I currently have. I was able to get a white gold ring with real garnet, because a jewelry store near us was going out of business, so I got it for really cheap!
I love my puppies! Aspen (the white one) is a Schnoodle, and Calvin (he really is still a puppy!) is a Schnauzer =]
Words can't describe how much I love my piano! I probably play it about 2-3 hours every day. I'm also grateful that I'm able to teach piano as well. (I'm hoping for more students soon).
My family I love so much!!!!!!!! (I don't even have words for how much I love them sorry :)
I also am grateful for my ipods! I have a pink shuffle, and a 16g ipod touch. I love listening to music, and I'm glad I'm able to do that with these =]
Lastly I LOVE swinging!!! (It makes our hearts sing as you can tell from the last pic). Rachel (my neighbor), and I try to go to the park at least once a week (about a 8-10 min walk) and swing!!! It's one of my most favorite things, and it has been ever since I was able to do it! So there is my top 20 favorite things! Hope you guys enjoyed it =]
