So, we have a regular 2 day weekend, but it's going to be a long (fun) one!!
Tonight after school we have our choir state competition!!! We were the state winners last year and we are going back to try again :) We will see!! Jake Nobbe and Katie Strifler are in the other 2 choirs from our school also going to competition.
Saturday morning we have The Andy Project, and it's going to be exciting because we have the Kohls representatives coming in to help us. Then, because they come we get $500 from them for The Andy Project. Later Saturday night is PROM!!! I'm super excited! I'm going with Alex, Katie and Cameron are going together and Drew and Ashlee are going together. The guys are making us dinner, so they are probably going to poison us..haha just kidding!! But, then after prom, the girls are going to Katie's place.
Sunday the 6 of us are going to Kings Island!! I haven't been there for about 2 years so I'm pretty excited about that!!
It's going to be a great weekend! I'll get pics up next week when I'm back to my normal non-tired self!!

As you may have expected, I haven't had much time to blog since we have been in Arizona. It's been non-stop go go go. We haven't stopped eatting since we have got here...We have had 3 meals a day, usually going out to eat!
We got in late Friday night, so we crashed when we got to my Grandma's house. On Saturday we slept in and met J-gray and Katlyn at a mexican resturant. It was nice to see them again! We hadn't seen them since Poland this summer! We hung out with them the whole day. They took us to see their church, Christ's Church of the Valley (CCV). It's a huge facility, but it is beautiful! Alex and I were both amazed at how big it was! We went to one of the two Saturday night services. Then afterwards we ate dinner there at thier cafeteria (yupp, it has a cafeteria with amazing food). Afterwards, we met Gordo and his wife Bethany at a coffee shop where we drank coffee, played a game, and just socialized. My dad had told Gordo to give Alex a hard time about our "relationship", and of course he did.
On Sunday, Katlyn picked us up and we went on an adventure (we didn't go to Church cuz we had gone the night before)! We went out into the middle of no where and hiked around. It was a lot of fun! We ate at a little resturant/bar thing. It was in the middle of no where, but it was really really good!! That's when Alex and I decided that we wanted to go skydiving while we are out here! Afterwards, we went to CCV to meet up with Alex's parents. They are in town at a condo...and no, they are not spying on us!! We went to lunch with them, J-gray and Katlyn then went back to my grandma's house. Then we went to Organ Stop Pizza with my Aunt, Uncle and grandma! We spent a few hours there...the food was great and the entertainment was amazing :) This guy plays an organ and it is amazing how many different things he can play on it!
The next day, Monday, I went to my Grandma's church with her to play Skip Bo with her and some of her friends. Alex stayed behind to work on some of his editing that he needs to get done over Spring Break. After that, we went out to eat at In-N-Out Burger then went to the Rec Center. My grandma has a membership card for there, so we went Putt-Putt Golf and played a few rounds of Bowling, which Alex won every game! Then we walked around the lake, which was absolutly gorgeous! I wish we had something like that in Indiana. For dinner, Alex treated us all to Buca di Beppo!
Today, we met one of my teachers from my school in Kenya for Lunch. It was nice to see her again. I hadn't seen her for over 6 years now! Then we came back here to my Grandma's and watched a movie! Alex and I started to watch "Sydney White", and he sat and watched the whole thing with me. I'm impressed...most guys would roll their eyes at a chick flick and walk away. But, as he stated at the end, "Only good gentlemen would sit and watch a chick flick.." haha
Right now we are waiting for my Aunt and Uncle to call. We are going to Texas Roadhouse for dinner, and they were going to call when they were ready!
Sorry it's a long blog, but I haven't had the chance to blog since we got here!

4 Days!
Since spring break is coming up in 4 days, I decided to do some research about Arizona right now...aka See what the weather is like!
Last week, it got up to the 90's!! YAY for warm weather!! Early next week it will be in the high 80's, then as the week goes on, it will get down to the low 80's, but then go back up to the high 80's, and maybe even into the 90's!!
One thing that I'm super excited about is seeing my grandma, aunt and uncle!! I haven't seen them for almost a year now and it will be nice to see them again!!
Another thing is seeing the sunsets! I remember when we would come back into the USA to visit, I always loved seeing the sunsets in Arizona. There is something about the sunsets that made me feel calm and relaxed! I can't wait!
School today has been extra long! It seems like this week will go by so slowly!!!

Wowzers
I haven't been keeping up to date on my blogging...whoops!! School, family, friends, Church, work, college thoughts and many other things have been getting my time. But, I thought I would blog today. No specific reason but to blog :)
Last week, I went to Ozark Christian College to take a 'Tuesday Tour', and with that I got an automatic $500 scholarship :) (yay for free money!!) I'm deffinatly going there in the fall, so any $ helps :) Even though I have toured there before, it finally just hit me that I am going to college. I was meeting people and talking with people and when the day was over, we said "See you in the Fall"! Wooooahhhh!! Craziness!!
Friday was Battle of the Bands at Church and it was pretty much amazing! Farebridge won...shocking much? haha Everyone loves them!! The singer has an amazing voice!!
Saturday was the choir competition at BD. We got 2nd out of 10 and we were really proud because we didn't even know all the words for the songs the day before! Praise the Lord, we pulled it through and got 2nd! After that was the dance, and of course some drama...what do you expect?
Sorry, my friend is here to pick me up for Bible Study. Sooo, I will blog more later..hopefully :)

Finally Accepted :)
So, I have been going through a lot with college and scholarships and such since the beginning of my senior year. But, I finally got the news I wanted :)
I have always wanted to go to Ozark Christian College, and that's the only one I applied to. They told me on Monday that they sent out my acceptance letter, so I should get it soon. But, it didn't come in until today (Saturday)!!
I'm soooo excited :) Can't even explain my excitement!! I know God had amazing plans for me at that college and I can't wait to start there!!
