Hi

Hey readers,

Sorry I have been gone soooo long but things have been busy and it seems like every time I try to post something, my mom or my siblings or someone will need me for something or I have to leave but anyways, at least I am posting now! : )
Well I have several things to tell you about. First, last Saturday was the Home school Spring Formal (home school version of Prom) and it was a lot of fun. I wish I could show you pics but due to privacy I am not allowed. I may be able to crop a pic of me and just show my dress without showing my face (Off with my head! lol).
Second, on Sunday, we had an explosion in our house... no one was injured thankfully. Well here is what happened, my mom was heating roast beef in what she thought was a heat safe tempura glass container and it was bubbling something crazy so she turned the heat off to let it cool. Well about 2 minutes later, it was sooo hot that the glass container literally jumped about half a foot in the air and landed on the left side of the stove top (it had been on the far right) and it shattered glass EVERYWHERE! I praise God that no one had glass wounds although my dad did step on a small piece of glass (really tiny so no real injury) but it was a big mess to clean.
Third, I am searching desperately for a job for this Summer to earn extra cash for college (if I am going... still praying about it) and my car that I am going to buy next year (praying about that too). I tried Borders near me but they prefer people who are 18 and older so that wasn't going to work. I don't want to work in a grocery store because it would not be that great on a resume or college application. I was thinking a waitress but all the restaurants nearby are not hiring and prefer people with prior experience! I would be a great cashier because I am very sociable (why do you think my blog name is social butterfly : )
Well that is something to pray about so if you think of me, pray about that.
Oh I have to tell ya the funnest thing ever! On Wednesday at Baskin Robbins they had a special for 31 cent ice cream cones! My family and I were excited because we usually buy ice cream in the store because its more economical but we don't all like the same flavors so to choose which flavors we wanted was a treat for us.
Lastly, yesterday was the beginning of the first sub wide garage sales in my city. I enjoy garage sailing sooo much because you get really great deals. I bought four purses (all under $1 each) and two tops for $1! Yes and they are sooo cute! I will post pics of my goods later. Well I have to go see what my siblings are up to since my folks went out but I will post more later!

Blessings,
Butterfly

Here is my memory verse for today:
Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
Deuteronomy 6:5

SB,
I'm in the same boat as you with the job thing. I really want a job but not many places will hire 15 year olds. I don't really want to work in fast food because I'm afraid I would end up doing something lame like cleaning toilets all day! (lol) The only thing is that, I know that other places want experience, and to get that, I have to start small. So, don't be discouraged if you can't find anything "exciting" for your first job...see it as practice!

Glad no one was hurt! I hope you can find a job soon. I'm not very knowledgeable in that area so I can't really give you any advice. Have a blessed day :) Jesus loves you!
