Verse of the day
“But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.”- James 3:17-18
I know I don't get to do the "Verse of the day" everyday but I do it about once a month... still not half as often as I wish. But to get to the news, I am sooooo excited because I am going to my friends play (see her blog here http://www.liviemylifeasagirl.blogspot.com ) tomorrow to see Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory!!! Not only is my friend in the play but my other good friend (you can see here blog by clicking here http://www.fayleke.blogspot.com ) will be there too! And we are going to lunch afterwards! I am so happy and joyful that God has blessed me with great friends! I miss them both so I am happy to see them tomorrow!
Some more good news is my other close friend, who moved to the other side of America, is coming to visit me in the end of June!!! She will hopefully spend the night too! I haven't seen her ever since she moved last mid-July. I miss her company and our time spent together very much!
Well that is my good news for today. I will tell you about the play hopefully tomorrow but Wednesday if I am too busy sooner. Tell me about your happy gettogethers or other occasions when you had fun! I would love to hear about them! Don't forget to leave a comment. I love it when you all leave comments!
Blessings be on you all and have a great week!
Until next post,

My Saturday
Hey girls,
How have you all been? I hope you all have had a wonderful Saturday because I had one interesting day. It started at 6 A.M. when I felt a terrible cramp and figured out that I had started my cycle! What a way to start the weekend! And on top of it all, from noon until 3:15, a friend of mine and I had to watch 13 girls at my cousins dance recital! Fortunatly by God's good grace, I didn't feel too bad then. After the cutest dances and getting all the girls returned to their moms, I went out with my cousins and grandparents to Big Boy's. I had the salad bar, cream of broccoli soup and some of my grandpa's onion rings. Once I got home at about 5pm or so, my grandparents stayed over for a bit to visit and left a couple minutes before 6pm. I showed my grandma the beautiful prom dress I bought at a garage sale yesterday for only $15!!! I will take a picture of it to show you before the next dance (the next dance is the Masquerade Ball in October). I will probably wear the dress to the ball and to the Spring Formal because I like it soooo much! : )
Well once my grandparents left, we watch The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones and then had some dinner (grilled ham and cheese). Then my mom got my baby brother up from bed and after feeding him rice cereal, I helped her give him a bath. It was so cute because he was kicking up a storm in there! He got the front on my mom's pajama shirt soaked! LOL But he definitly enjoyed himself. After helping with the bath, I came to my bedroom downstairs and now I am telling you about my day! Well, I have to get into bed because it is now rolling on to 10:30PM and I still want to read before I fall asleep. I will tell you much more about last week hopefully before Monday.
Fill in some more soon,

Funny Story
In the hospital, the relatives gathered in the waiting room, where their family member lay gravely ill.
Finally, the doctor came in looking tired and somber.
"I'm afraid I'm the bearer of bad news," he said as he surveyed the worried faces. "The only hope left for your loved one at this time is a brain transplant. It's an experimental procedure, very risky but it is the only hope. Insurance will cover the procedure, but you will have to pay for the brain yourselves."
The family members sat silent as they absorbed the news.
After a great length of time, someone asked, "Well, how much does a brain cost?"
The doctor quickly responded, "$5,000 for a male brain, and $200 for a female brain."
The moment turned awkward. Men in the room tried not to smile, avoiding eye contact with the women, but some actually smirked.
A man unable to control his curiosity, blurted out the question everyone wanted to ask, "Why is the male brain so much more?"
The doctor smiled at the childish innocence and explained to the entire group, "It's just standard pricing procedure. We have to mark down the price of the female brains, because they've actually been used."
Hope you enjoyed a good laugh,

Lovely Day
Hello blog readers,
Today is a beautiful day... which makes me wonder, WHY AM I IN THE HOUSE??? Well to tell my fellow bloggers what I have been up to. Well last Saturday, we did a lot of moving around in my house and I moved into the basement so I now have, drum roll please........ MY OWN ROOM!!!!!! (the crowd goes wild!) Yes thank you thank you... I am just as excited as you are! I know have my own boombox, TV, VCR, and all sorts of other fun stuff down here with me! It was a lot of moving but it was totally worth it! And on Sunday, after going to church, I went to Kohls (my all time favorite clothing store) and bought a white shirt to wear the my band concert that I had later on that afternoon. The concert went really well and I didn't make any funny sounds when the clarinets had our solo. We played Regal March, Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious, Latin Fire, and Fire Storm. The 30 minutes we were on stage seemed like 30 seconds! Isn't that the way it always is though. You look forward to something for a long time and it finally comes and it goes by soooo fast and then you are happy with memories but sad that it is done! Well I need to get outside and enjoy the weather but tell me how your weekend was and I hope to hear more coments on my story. Sadly, I may not put more of my story on my blog because 1) I don't want someone to steal it and 2) because I hope to publish it! If it gets published, which would be a total God thing, then I hope you all will buy a copy!
Love and Blessings,
