There is snow. On the ground. Tons of it.
Well, I woke up to snow this morning at 7:08. Yuck! Seriously stupid body. It's Saturday! So I hopped back into bed and slept until 10. Glorious! Well, today was a super lazy day! I was supposed to hang out with Calie, but she spent the day with her family (hopefully we can hang out tomorrow) and my gospel team outing got canceled. So I had no plans today. Amazing!
I finally figured out my website. It is now fixed. Basically, the only thing wrong with it was that the titles for each page weren't centered which just plain bugged me. It was an easy, yet time consuming fix. Glad that's done!
I am super tired. It's 5:47. I feel lame.
So, the snow. I'm not excited to drive in the cities with the idiots who still don't know how to drive in it. Yes, they make me mad. Not excited. At all.
Leaving now.
Love, Nicole. Bye!

A good snapshot stops a moment from running away.
Today JoJo, Siri, Stephie, and I decided we wanted to take pictures. Well, it turns out it gets dark at like 6. So we decided to mess around with my fancy flash and reflector. Well, it was super fun! We just goofed around throwing leaves at each other and basically beating each other up. God has blessed me with the craziest friends in the world!!! I love it!
Today's blog is going to be more of photos and less of me typing. Which is great for me. :)
Hope you all enjoy the pictures!

$1 Coffee
I think I'm officially a regular at Caribou. I really don't know how I feel about this. I just go to visit my dear friend, JoJo, and end up buying a stupid drink. I honestly don't even love coffee this much. But, it sure seems as if I do.
So, my sister is trying to potty train her 6.5 month child. She's ridiculous. But! I loved the photo that she posted on facebook. Facebook is prolly my favorite thing for keeping in touch with my nephew long distance.
Long distance. That seems to be a reoccurring theme in my life. I hate it. But God is good and is blessing me with patience and peace.
Super excited for this weekend! I get to go home!!!! Do laundry for free. Use a dryer that actually dries clothes. And! Take pictures of my sister and her beautiful family. Supes excited! Life is gonna be good.
Also, I've been going low (sugar levels). Which means.... Exercise is working! Woot! Let's see if I can not get even fatter now. Ha! We'll see how that goes.
For all of you who care. I have officially reached my weight that I was at last year. Funny thing though, all my clothes still fit, and all my clothes from last year are still loose on me. Hmmm.... Can't complain though!
Well, I'm heading back to school. Too much Caribou for me today! Adios amigos!

"Laugh as much as you breathe and love as long as you live.”
Life is crazy...Enjoy it!
Yup, that's what my main dealio is on this blog. Well, my life has been crazy and yes, I have been enjoying it. Maybe a little too much to get on here and blog. Turns out when you don't have internet as easily accessible, you forget to blog. Well, here goes.
It's 10:07 and I'm sitting at a Caribou sipping my coffee listening to worship music. It's quite the life I must say. I decided in between church services (I'm singing on the praise team this week.) I would try to get some homework done. Well, Caribou has internet, so that's not happening today. Plus, I only have two assignments due this week and I'm half done with the one due on Wednesday, so no worries.
I've been so tired lately. I would like to say it's not mono, but it probably is. So, I've been taking as many naps as I can and trying to get to sleep as early as I can in a crazy dorm. It's so lame having to go to bed so early, I always feel like I'm missing out on the world when I'm in bed before midnight. So lame!
Well, I have no hilarious stories for you today. It seems as though I'm almost less clumsy up here at school. I would like to believe that, but I doubt it's true. Luckily though I'm still laughing tons, at random stuff, but still laughing.
I suppose I should probably try to get some homework done or edit some photos. Hasta luego!

"The bark is worse than the bite."
Well, I'm sick. Yay! Not!
I have my wonderful seal barking cough. It's great. But actually, it's quite lame. The lame thing is it's not a really full on seal bark, so I'm just stuck with an unfunny cough and being sick. Great.
Well, I've been sleeping a lot and putting off my Isaiah homework. 3-5 pages on an analysis of Isaiah 5. I don't know how this is going to happen in one night. I'm a fool for not doing it before tonight. And yes, instead of doing my homework, I'm blogging. Ha! I guess blogging is my way of complaining about life when no one will listen but my wonderful MacBook.
So, I'm sick with a sore throat/runny nose. I can't breath normally. I swear, if someone was to run after me trying to kill me, I'd run for ten feet and lose my breath and fall over and get killed. So wonderful.
Well, I know this has been short. Let's be honest, from now on they probably all will be short. But I really really really need to get some homework done. So please pray that I get it done and do it well. Adios!

I'm a failure.
Well, two days have gone by without blogging. I'm sorry, but I'm burnt out. I will try to still blog on a weekly basis about the hilarious moments of my life. Because, well, they happen.

"Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out. "
Woke up this morning and was ready within 20 minutes. Well, I had some spare time so I made my lunch (aka salad). Well, this morning was good. I didn't spill anything on my lap. Haha! I also still am sick, so choir auditions went interestingly. But good enough. I took a nap, which was glorious to say the least. And I even got some homework done. So I feel good about the day. Went to a softball game and had fun chatting with some girlies. And guess what I did!?! I spilled my tea on my blanket. I am such a clutz lately!!!! Oh well, life goes on. Well, first night of wing devos of the year. It should be good to help us get to know each other. I'm excited. :)
This is short. And I really don't care, because I'm tired. Wa-bam!

This morning I woke up and put on a decently cute outfit. Khakis and a tanktop with my teal sweater over it. Well, I made coffee this morning and turns out the desks in the senior classroom aren’t very sturdy. Because when I pumped the desk, my coffee went on my lap/sweater. Well, I got to do laundry for the first time at AFLBS this year. A little sooner than I was hoping, but oh well.
Class went great this morning. I was awake and I’m super excited for all the assignments so far. They are not just busy work, but actually digging into the Word and finding what applies to our lives. Exciting!
This afternoon I went to Ikea to get curtains. But, unfortunately didn’t find any. :( Oh well! It was fun going. I also went to Famous Dave’s to see the Emmaus worship team play. It was good and tons of fun.
It’s crazy how this year I have talked to so many people I never talked to last year. It’s going to be a great year here at AFLBS. I’m excited to see what God has in store for all of us here.

I hate it when I wake up and have to wait for a shower. And then when I finally get into a shower (and not the good one) I don’t have hot water, but cold water. Not fun! Well, that was the start of my day.
I made coffee this morning. Made my whole day more lively. Very nice. Orientation wasn’t even boring. I love coffee. I hung out with some cool juniors this afternoon, and when I got back looked at my door. It had a note written on it, “I need your help.” Well, it was from Beth (my old roommate) asking me to help her organize her room. I did. It looks awesome. Wa-bam!
Well, after that I made dinner. And, burnt my 4th finger and pinky. Ouch! So I got to eat my dinner with my right hand while I was icing my left hand. And yes, to you who don’t know. I’m a lefty. It wasn’t easy.
Well tonight I played soccer and volleyball. Turns out I stink at soccer. Used to be good. Oh well.
Devos tonight were going over our handbook. It took a LONG time. I’m tired. Night!

9.6.10
This morning I woke up at 7 when I didn’t have to wake up until 8. I learned my lesson the hard way that I should close my curtains. Well, they are closed for the night. I also woke up to find out that the power was out. But no worries, my stuff in my fridge stayed cold the whole time. Well, we had orientation today. Fun? Um.. about that. Lol It was “orientation”. ‘Nough said.
Well I spent the afternoon with David, Andy Benson, and Preston. We played Uno and I won enough times to be satisfied. I also had a great laughing attack aka ab workout. But during this laughing attack my throat starting closing up. It was horrible. It hurt tons. And yet, I thought it was funny that it was happening and so I couldn’t stop laughing for the life of me. Oh well.
I bought tons of groceries today at Sam’s Club and Walmart. Good stuff. I’m kinda excited to eat it.
We had a great testimony/worship time this evening and then us wonderful seniors went to the 50’s grill. I had a strawberry sundae. It was yummy!
But now I’m super tired. So, I’m doing devos and getting some good quality shut-eye. Night!

Crazy day. I woke up this morning at 6:50 after going to bed at 1:30. Yes, that’s correct. 5 hours of sleep. But, considering that I’d say I’m doing pretty well. It’s 12:10 right now and I’m tired, but still functioning pretty well.
Well, I’m all moved in. It’s been so great being back at AFLBS and seeing friends and just talking and relaxing. I also got to see David today. He had his last summer team concert tonight. A group of us played Five Crowns tonight and enjoyed popcorn. I love popcorn so much. It’s such a great thing.
Well, nothing really excitingly funny happened today. Maybe tomorrow. Night!
Also, I’m realizing that blogging every night is getting ridiculous. Should I keep blogging every night or just when I have the energy to “really” blog? Input please!

"She a drama queen if you know what I mean..."
Well, tonight was the night. Family Force Five was amazing as expected. And yes, I lost my voice and prolly lost a few pounds from dancing. So amazing. I love my friends. I really have nothing else to say about the concert except, dang, it was good.
My car is loaded. I'm leaving in less than 7 hours for school! Exciting! Also, I get PF Changs tomorrow. Be jealous.
I had a lovely photo shoot this morning. It was so fun I couldn't stop. It was only supposed to be a 90 minute session but it turned into a 140 minutes session. Oh well, I'm sure she isn't complaining. And I sure ain't. Yup, I just said ain't. Well, I got to hang out with my sister and baby Jacob for a little this afternoon. It was fun. I love that little man. He's such a stud and well, he loves me too. Everytime he sees me he goes a little crazy with joy. I appreciate it.
I feel really lame writing such a short blog when it was such an amazing day, but I really should be heading to bed since I have to drive 4 hours in the morning. Night! Please pray for safe travels. :)

"Ugly people put your hands down."
Tomorrow night is THE night. The night I've been waiting for for a very long time (2 years to be exact). Family Force Five. In concert. Aka I'm going to lose my voice and dance my butt off tomorrow night. I'm super pumped! Basically I have the lyrics down and got some dancing warmups tonight at the David Crowder Band concert. So tonight at the concert me and Preston and a friend of his, Brooke (who's really cool) were going crazy dancing and not being boring and just putting our hands up. Then David Crowder told us to introduce ourselves to a person around us. So this girl goes "Hi, I'm Ashley. I LOVE your dancing." Wa-bam! And yes, folks, she was serious. I was so proud. So proud that I had to blog about it. Did that make my night? Heck yes! I will now dance with all my spirit tomorrow night at Family Force Five.
Well, it's official. I'm all packed up. It just has to go into the car tomorrow morning after my photo shoot. Which is at 8:30, so I really should be heading to bed soon but I just don't want to. I feel so alive after being at Lifelight and having the time of my life (or at least of the day). Anywho, I'm heading to B-school in two mornings. Excited? Why, yes, I am. I'm still hoping to blog at AFLBS everyday, but it'll most likely not make it online every night. But should be on the next day at some point. The great and yet very annoying thing about AFLBS is we don't have internet in our rooms. Great, because if you're addicted like I am, you won't go online while doing homework. Annoying, because sometimes you just don't want to walk down the hall and down the stairs to the dang computer lab just to be watched by people. I hate it because I don't feel like I can skype or even listen to music. It'll be interesting this year.
Well, I suppose I should try to get some sleep tonight so my creative juices are flowing in the morning. Night!
P.S. If you're gonna be in Sufu tomorrow night, come to the Family Force Five concert and find me. I'll be the girl dancing with glow sticks on.

"The only exercise some people get is jumping to conclusions, running down their friends, side-stepping responsibility, and pushing their luck."
I almost forgot to blog tonight! I was just laying in bed trying to sleep when it hit me. "I didn't blog yet." Well, here I am, blogging.
This morning I woke up and lounged. I figured I should take advantage of the opportunity to do that. So I did. I finished Lost season 4 today. Ok, seriously. Lost is just getting ridiculous at the point. I'm pretty sure I make fun of it more than enjoy it. And yet, I can't stop watching it. It's like I'm addicted or something. Haha!
Well, today I cleaned out my car and got my oil changed. Now when i say cleaned out my car, I mean I really cleaned the crap out of it. I found mouse poop in my glove compartment. Well, I vacuumed that up. I actually even wiped down my dash and everything. It's looking good I must say.
Let's see, what else did I do today. Oh, I went to Walmart to buy some games and groceries. Turns out they don't sell good card games, such as Five Crowns. So, I just bought groceries. I was mad. I have no idea where to find Five Crowns. I suppose I'll have to go to a game store in the cities sometime. Good thing I'm moving to the cities soon. And wow, is it soon. I leave in 3 mornings!!!! Crazy! Well, I basically have everything packed up. I want to load up my car (yes, I like planning ahead, and it's not as ridiculous as it sounds. I'm going to be at Lifelight all weekend. Which reminds me, if you like Family Force Five, you should come with me. I'll be the girl singing at the top of her lungs and trying to dance cooly but not succeeding), but I have a senior photo session on Saturday morning, so I guess I'll load it up Saturday afternoon before heading out to Lifelight for the day.
Well, I'm going to bed. Yes, at 10:40. I'm becoming more and more ridiculous each day. Next thing I know I'm going to enjoy exercising. And the day that happens is the day I die. Night!

“When I admire the wonder of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in worship of the Creator.”
I'M HOME! I've never loved my bed as much as I am loving it right now as I'm typing this. I arrived home at 11:15. Long day of traveling. But, I got so much done. Haha! I read 200 pages in a book (which it turns out I've already read it, but it's a good refresher) and took a nap. I'm on caffeine right now because I was getting tired on the way home from Winsted. So, now I'm all hyped up and yet really ready for bed. Today nothing really exciting happened. And so this blog is ending. Night!
Dang, that was short. Sorry! :/
Oh wait! Here's a picture of the sunset I drove into tonight.

Ate ice cream (no worries, mom, I'm watching my levels).

"Despite the high cost of living it remains a popular item."
Woke up this morning and got up to go to church. Turns out it was an outdoor service. It was HOT! And I mean hot. I "glistened" the whole service and there was so many annoying flies bugging me. I was mad. But, it was a great service other than the fact that I was uber uncomfortable in the hot sun.
Well, we got most of David's stuff organized today. I feel bad, because I know his kitchen better than him since me and his mom unpacked all that stuff. I'm sure he'll get to know it soon though.
Just got done watching cake decorating shows and the end of Legally Blonde with Steph. It was nice to just relax and now I'm super pumped to sleep. Sorry this was so short. I'm kinda busy lately! Night!

Anywho, we left David’s at 8:30ish this morning and left for Illinois. We stopped in Madison, Wisconsin for Chipotle, which was delicious. But, turns out it was move in day for college at Madison today and it took forever to find a parking spot, but we did. And no worries, we didn’t get mugged by any crazy college students.
Well, we got to David’s new place and got all of his stuff in his place (which is super cute, it’s an “apartment” in the basement of a farm house). And now I’m at my darling friend, Steph’s house. Well, I’m gonna go chat with her and head to bed. Night!
Oh, here’s a picture of me and Steph. :)

"A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart, and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words."
Lately I've been finding that I am really picky with my music. Also, I've been trying to learn all the Family Force Five lyrics again. Turns out I forgot all the words when I was being picky with my music and decided I didn't want to listen to them. Well, I'm really regretting that decision now that I'm trying to cram that many songs into my brain which is still in summer mode.
Today I woke up and hung around Liz's dorm while she was at class, then I ate leftover PF Changs with Liz, hung out with her and was on my way to David's. Btw, for those of you who don't know. My boyfriend, David, is moving to Illinois tomorrow. Well, I "helped" him finish packing up and then we went for a walk, ate dinner with his parents, and watched Get Smart. Get Smart. Oh man, I forgot how funny that movie is. Well, I cracked up! Idk if it was actually that funny or if I'm just tired from sleeping on a rock solid couch last night. I'm assuming it's a combination.
Also, I know I said I was going to be blogging every day for the year. Well, I will be blogging. But I cannot promise that they will be put up each day. So, if for some reason, my blog isn't put up within 24 hours of the last blog. It's probably because I have no internet and it will be coming because I will still type it up and then just paste it into here eventually for all you loyal blog readers.
Well, I'm going to bed. Early morning tomorrow. And weird! I'll be in Illinois tomorrow. Night!

If you do not hope, you will not find what is beyond your hopes.
Today has been a great day. And be proud! No nap or coffee today. Wa-bam!
Well today was my last full day at my cabin. :( It was good, nice and relaxing and I even got to go skiing two times. And man, oh man, was skiing epic. I went slalom skiing for a while and then drove Adam, he dropped a ski successfully tonight! I'm so proud! And then I wanted to just go crazy in and out of the wake. Well, Adam took "crazy" to a new extreme and I totally and completely biffed it going out of the wake. My neck is already feeling it. I don't even wanna think about tomorrow. :( But! It was so worth it, it was soooo much fun! I basically screamed the whole time, just ask my mom and Adam. Well, I put some pictures up here of me skiing. Props to my mom. I told her to get a picture with the sunset, and well, she did.
Tomorrow I'm heading to the cities to visit my bestie, Liz. I'm so excited to see her. I've missed her bunches and bunches! It's also my half birthday tomorrow. So, me and Liz are celebrating it by going to PF Changs (ok, so we were actually just going anyways). I'm super excited! PF Changs is basically amazing. And gluten free! So it's a double wammy for awesomeness!
I can't believe summer is basically over. It's kind of sad. And yet, I'm super pumped for school to start. Move in day is September 5. And I'm so glad, because now I can go to the Family Force Five on Saturday at Lifelight. Sooooooooooooo excited! They have the best concerts ever. Basically it's just a dance party. So, I've been working on my dance moves and getting the lyrics down again. It's gonna be swawesome!
Tonight we're making homemade icecream! I've never been so excited! (Ok, that's prolly a lie. I get excited a lot.) I'm also hoping to get some popcorn, too. We'll see how that goes though.

"Close your earballs." -Emily
This morning I woke up and I freaked out because I wasn't in my bed. I totally forgot that I was at my cabin, that was a weird experience.Today was a perfect South Dakota day. Windy. So I took a nap (a 2 hour nap) after lunch since there wasn't much else to do. I tried to take a nap with Jacob (picture to the left) but he wouldn't stop kicking me and throwing his hands in the air, so I gave up on that dream. :(
We ate kabobs (Adam likes to call them kaboobs, I don't think he realizes this sounds inappropriate) tonight for dinner. We also had green beans and sweet corn. I always think I hate sweet corn, and then I eat it. It's actually quite delicious, so I ate one, and then three parts of a cut up one. Such a good meal!
So there's thousands of flies up here at our cabin. I decided to go on a killing escapade. I even went outside. It was exhilarating knowing I killed a fly at least every other time I went for one. Wa-bam! Ok, so there were two flies mating on our fridge and I killed them. Well, I guess this was hilarious to me, because I was on the floor laughing and trying not to pee my pants. It was so hard running to the bathroom. But no worries, folks, I made it. I did not pee myself.
We played croquet tonight. I lost because I guess I cheated. Who knew that if you hit it like ten times in a row and kick it a couple times you'd get disqualified? I think my family is too strict if you ask me. :P
Me and Adam are going glowstick skiing again tonight. So excited! It looks like the wind died down. I sure hope so. It'd be great to not get my hair wet again.

"I just wasted blinker fluid."
Today was... lively. I love days like today. Even though I really didn't get much accomplished, I was busy all day. So great!
Well, today I got up and felt like getting cute. So I did. You know days where you feel like your hair just looks great? Well today my hair blew those days away! Wa-bam! So now that I was all cutesied up I went and ran some quick (and I mean quick) errands. Then I went home and relaxed by watching Lost. Sidenote: My goal this summer was to watch all of Lost. Well, I'm at the end of season 3. So halfway there. I don't think I'll be finishing this summer. Oh well! It makes me realize how great my summer must've been since I didn't get very far. :)
Well, tonight was THE night. I bought glowsticks this afternoon before coming up to the cabin. Me and Adam have been talking about going night skiing basically all summer. And! We did it. We put a glowstick on our wrist, around our neck, and on our lifejacket. It was so cool looking back off the boat and seeing three little glowing circles and nothing else. Ha! Well, there is nothing more fun than skiing under the stars and moon. I picked out some constellations while up and had a marvelous time going in and out of the wake with the moonlight on the lake. We didn't go very extreme on turns since, well, it was basically pitch black. But man, oh man, it was swawesome! (aka so awesome) Well, I can now be satisfied with the summer of 2010. Completely satisfied. Thank you, Adam.

Every time you see a beautiful woman, just remember, somebody got tired of her.
I can't believe I almost forgot to blog today! :/
But, here I am... Blogging.
This morning as I was driving to church looking all snazzy in my brand new stinking awesomely cute new purple shirt I decided to spill my iced coffee on myself. Well, by spill, I mean dribbled. I was drinking my coffee from a straw. I really have no idea how I managed that. But, no worries, I washed my shirt when I got home and it came out. So thankful!
Today I got to hang out with Calie. She's so great! We ate, watched movies, and played Diddy Kong Racing. Calie and I used to play Diddy all the time back in high school. We even brought it on road trips. We were OBSESSED! Well, today we got it out and played like 6 races. I couldn't believe how horrible I had gotten since high school. I'm ashamed. Also, it's not as fun as I remember. Calie concurs. So that ended pretty quick. Isn't it crazy how things change in our lives? I also got to hang out with Preston tonight. Preston just got back form a mission trip to Haiti. He didn't really talk about it, but I think he had a grand time (at least that's what I've kinda gotten from his tiny comments about it). It was a good time. I always enjoy hanging out with my good friends.
Tomorrow I leave for my cabin, then on Thursday I go to the cities to visit Liz. I also have a nanny job interview on Thursday!!!! So excited! Please pray that it goes well. :) Then Friday, I head to David's and on Saturday we leave for Illinois to move him down there. Kinda lame, but I'm super excited to hang out with his family and well, him. :) After I get back from Illinois, I have a weekend at home and then I move up to school. Crazy! Summer is basically gone. But not officially! So I'm going to milk it as much as I can.
Sad sidenote: My camera (no worries, it's my little baby camera) has officially bit the dust. The stupid lens won't go back in. And! I didn't drop it. I know I didn't.
Well, bedtime! I can't believe I managed to stay up until 12:25. I was ready for bed at 6! Guess friends make you more alive. Night!
P.S. Today's quote is not because I like it. But, because I think it's sad. And lame, so to whoever wrote that quote, I think you're lamesauce!

“When we are tired, we are attacked by ideas we conquered long ago.”
I am so tired tonight. Honestly, I feel kinda sick. So, this is going to be very short.
Today was a lazy day. I personally love days like today. I got up, ate breakfast, went for a walk (I was going to run, but my knee hurts (prolly from skiing).) Showered, sat on my computer, ate lunch, went to Walmart (I forgot it was Saturday, it was crazy!!!!), came home, went to Dunn Bros with Nicolette, ate dinner, watched movies with Nicolette, am now am in bed blogging. Did anything really great happen today? Not really. But I realize that days like today make crazy funny days even more crazy and funny. I thank God for perspective. Well, now that you know what I did today, I'm going to bed. I'm so exhausted! Hopefully tomorrow I'll feel more alive, less sick and less tired. We'll see. :) Night!

Girls are like phones. We love to be held and talked to, but if you press the wrong button you'll be disconnected!
Well today was interesting. I went to bed last night at 11 and I woke up at 9. Yes, that is correct. I slept for 10 hours. Wa-bam! Well, except not wa-bam. I was so tired and felt just disgusting when I woke up. Well, after a while I got ready for the day and ate breakfast. Then, I checked my levels around 10 and I was at 250. That's high. So after being mad at my life I decided to go on a walk. Except halfway through I got bored and decided to run. So I ran about a mile. Did it feel good? Heck no! I hate running with a passion. But it got me home faster. And! It got my levels down to 71. Awesome!
Well, today was a lame day (feeling sick and all). So after lunch I took a nap. It was awesome, until I woke up feeling even worse than when I fell asleep. I woke up with a migraine and feeling even groggier than before. :(
But, no worries. My whole day wasn't lame. I started to feel better around dinner and after dinner Adam and I went skiing. I really am addicted to skiing lately. It's such a thrill! Anywho, I dropped my ski again today and went for quite a while. It was awesome! Except my abs and legs hurt. But I'm loving that burn, because that means I'm getting "buff". Lol Well, Adam decided to try slalom skiing, which means we have to go pick up the ski that he dropped. Well, I think I was going to fast when Emily grabbed it and so she didn't get a hold of it. So I threw my towel off and just jumped in not thinking that I was already dry and still had to drive home. Oh well! It was fun and Adam and Emily got a laugh out of it.
Well, I'm home now. I moved all of my stuff back home from the cabin since I won't be coming straight home from the cabin next time before school starts. This summer is gone, I didn't even realize it was here. :( It's kinda really sad, and yet! I'm super pumped to head back to AFLBS for the school year. Well, I best be getting all my stuff put away and head to bed.
Also, the quote of the day makes me laugh. Haha! So true! Wa-bam!

Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.
This morning I woke up and looked outside to fog. Well, no skiing this morning. And, the fog didn't lift until after lunch. I've never experienced that before. It was pretty cool, but at the same time it made doing stuff outside basically pointless because after 10 minutes you were all wet from the moisture in the air.
Today I swatted the fly swatter 5 inches from Emily's face. She jumped like 5 feet. So funny!
Since today was such a lazy day we watched Emperor's New Groove. I forgot how funny that movie is. It's great!
Well after the fog went away we went skiing again. And!!!! I dropped a ski and succeeded at slalom skiing!!!!! It was awesome! Ok so, the second time I dropped the ski I was going for a long while and almost fell, but I caught myself and got stable again. Well, for some reason I thought this was hilarious and I couldn't stop laughing. I actually started to hyperventilate and finally had to stop skiing to catch my breath and calm down. Haha! I think David and Adam got a laugh out of it.
Well, David left tonight. It was really good to have him here. And turns out when he's here, I exercise a lot more. It was great! Hopefully I can still keep somewhat active the rest of the summer. And! Hopefully I dropped some of those pounds I've been trying to get off.
I had popcorn twice today. It was glorious! But now I feel like I can't have it again tonight, which is fine because I'm actually thinking about heading to bed early again. I think that if I'm getting a good routine down I should keep it up since I'm going to have to start getting up early for classes in less than 3 weeks. So crazy! I move up to AFLBS September 5th. I'm soooo excited!
P.S. I've decided instead of titles I'm going to have quotes. I personally love today's quote. So funny!
Anywho, so if you have any good quotes, let me know!

A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success.
Me and Adam went skiing again this morning. It was not quite as cold, but still kinda cold. It was tons of fun!
Well, as you know, I'm addicted to coffee. So this morning I made some. Well, as I was walking past my dad, he stepped back and the coffee spilled all over the floor. I just laughed because it wasn't hot enough at that point to burn me and only hit my hand. I say he has good aim, because he didn't even get my clothes!
Also, I have news! I have a boyfriend. His name is David, and well, he's quite awesome in my mind. Well he came to my cabin yesterday and this morning he asked me out! And yes, all of you who know that I'm picky, it was a cute way of asking. If you really want details, ask me. I'll probs tell you.
Anywho, after lunch Adam, David and I went three person tubing. My dad has never driven so crazy in his life! It was sooooo fun. And of course I was the only person to fall off. But, in my defense I was trying to stand both times. But in the end, it was awesome! Well, after tubing we convinced David he had to try skiing. Well, after a few minutes of my wonderful teaching skills he tried. And! He got up his first time, and in and out of the wake a bunch of times and didn't get his hair wet. I couldn't decide if I should be proud of my student or mad at him for being better than me. I'm trying to not be mad, so I'll be proud. :) Also, today I tried slalom skiing. I almost made it a couple times after dropping the ski, but after getting the wind knocked out of me and a huge gut ache I decided to call it a day.
Well, after a day full of crazy, extreme adventures I'm pooped. I don't think I've been so tired in a long time. I'm almost falling asleep just typing this.
Sidenote: I dared myself to blog everyday this year. So far, so good. Let's see if I can keep it up.
Here's some pictures from tubing and David skiing. :)
Well, anywho. I'm going to call it a night. Yes, it's 10:15, I'm lame. And yet, I'm so excited to sleep. Wa-bam! Goodnight folks!

Ow!
This morning I went skiing with Adam at 6:30. It was the most cold experience of my life! Even worse than in the winter. I decided that I was gonna drive first. Which, in my mind seemed like the smart thing to do. But, by the time it was my time to go, my hands were freezing. Anywho, the water was a lot warmer than the air. By like 50 degrees! It was so wonderful though. The water was so clear and it was the most beautiful sunrise ever. It was foggy on the lake and looking back through the fog with the sun shining through the trees was the most beautiful sight ever! Praise the Lord!
Also, tonight I hurt my finger. I was getting skinny cow cheese from the fridge drawer and I closed my left hand second finger in it. Ouch!!!!
Our game of fartzee lasted three stinking hours! That's so long. It usually only lasts 10 minutes. Ridiculous!
When I wrote this blog I was so tired I was falling asleep. You can probably tell by how short and boring it is. :(

Game Over
The diet is off. I gave up within one day. I decided as long as I'm eating healthy and keeping my levels normal it's not a big deal. So, today I ate garlic mashed potatoes and chips. Healthy? Probably not. Delicious? Heck yes! Here's some pictures of my failure (round two).
I'm back at the cabin. I realized today how much I'm gonna miss my family this fall. A lot!
My photoshoot went beautifully this morning! Here's a link to some pictures from Rachel's session. :)
http://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?pid=4711611&id=193450565137
Also, my family thinks it's ridiculous how much I text. Well, someone's gotta use our unlimited texting up! No one else uses it. Adam says, "What do you text about?" So I said, "I just tell them about my life and they laugh at me." So Adam says, "So you just say, "Hey, I'm eating lunch?" and they respond "Lol, so funny."? Haha, I love my family.
Today Adam said wa-bam! (Which is what I say when I do my awesome finger snappy thing.) And I told him that he does not have permission to say that since he can't do the awesome finger snappy thing. So, he made up a new word to say. It's ka-blam! I like it, but don't tell him I said so. :P
Sidenote: My mom is trying to get me mad on purpose right now. She's being all "lovey-dovey", but it's fake. This makes me sad. :(
Everyone in my family is going to bed. It's 10:30! So stinking early! What do they expect me to do until my bedtime (aka 2 a.m.)? I guess I could go to bed, but lately I've had no luck falling asleep before 2, I laid in my bed for 2.5 hours last night trying. No such luck! Oh well, I guess I might as well try. Me and Adam are waking up at 6:30 to go "exercising". My goal is to not get my hair wet. We'll see about that. :/ Well, goodnight!

Lessons Learned
My. Life. Is. Over.
Ok, so maybe it's not over but I like over-exaggerating.
I've gained 4 pounds in the past three weeks. So lame! I really shouldn't even be that upset, my whole wardrobe still fits and no one else can tell. But I can, my cheeks look chubbier, and it's not cool! Sooooooo... I'm on a strict diet for a while. Fruit, veggies, meat. If you see me eating anything else, snatch it out of my hand and shove it in your mouth. I'll hate you at the time, but eventually I will love you again. (And if you don't want to eat it, just throw it on the ground and spit on it, there's a good chance that'll actually make me laugh.)
I ate at Outback today. Greatest restaurant for gluten free peeps, because basically the whole menu is gf. Glorious! Anywho, I ate ribs because I wanted to try something other than steak. It was delicious! But, I'll stick with the steak from now on. There's a reason they are known for their steaks. :)
Also, I relearned today that you should not wear high heels shopping and skirts on a windy day. As I was gassing up my car today my skirt tried taking off like a parachute. But, luckily I grabbed it before everyone saw a little (aka lot) more than they wanted to see. And... to explain the high heels. I usually don't (Ok, I never do. I'm not one of those girls who has to look cute to go shopping, that's just ridiculous!) wear high heels shopping, but my mom and I went right after lunch (which was right after church) and the only other shoes I had in my car were my boots, and that wasn't happening with my skirt and on a hot day. Well, I got a new shirt (which is superdeduperty cute!) and some new jewelry. I swear I looked at jewelry for like 20 minutes and couldn't find anything. Then, my mom walks through and chooses three things I loved in less than a minute. She's so awesome! I was speechless.
I am also quite amazed at myself. I leave for school in 3 weeks exactly. And... I'm packed! Such a relief! Wa-bam! Also, I got the room I requested. So, that's exciting news. :)
So, today at Target I found cookies and cream chocolate kisses. I was so excited I just snatched them up without thinking about the whole cookie thing. Turns out cookies have gluten. So I guess I just got a present for my sister. You're welcome, Emily! I hope you enjoy gluten. Plus, this is really a favor to my body. Chocolate isn't really on my diet. :(
Tonight was a lounge night. Just me and my computer on my comfy bed. It was a very relaxing evening. Senior photo session tomorrow at 8:30, very excited! Then, back up to the cabin for a couple weeks of "exercising" (aka skiing, tubing and kayaking) and family time. I'm pumped!

Caffeine!!!!!!
Well, it is official. I'm addicted.
I'm actually quite mad at myself right now. I used to hate coffee, the taste of it, everything about it. Well, recently I learned I love it. And so I drank it every day for two weeks straight. And then, I stopped. Worst idea ever. I have had headaches galore and mood swings, which really can be fun, just not when you're crabby. I hate being crabby. It makes me wanna punch myself in the face. Crabby people make me so mad, so when I'm crabby I get mad at myself, which then makes me even more crabby. It's kind of a vicious cycle.
Anywho, today I finally gave in. I drank coffee. And, it was glorious! My headache is gone and I have energy. A lot of energy!
So, this weekend I was to hitch a ride with Emily and Adam home and of course I wouldn't have a car, so I'd have to drive my dad's pontiac solstice. Well, my mommy got sick. So I drove her home. So.... No driving the solstice this weekend. :( Oh well! I'm glad I could help my mommy out! And on the bright side, I do love my car!
My mom decided she wanted to take me to a movie, she's the best (she even got me out of my sweats and into jeans). I think she's realizing how boring I am lately. Honestly, I wouldn't even want to hang out with me. Yup, I'm that lame! It's quite sad. I always notice when I'm sad, all I need is some God time. God's so amazing! Seriously, He's always there when you need Him, and we all need Him every second of our lives. Well, I read 1 Peter 4. And it was a great and very necessary reminder of how I need to live for God and not for myself. Daily, I find myself living for me, but my life should be lived for God. I want so badly to glorify God in all I do. Isn't it great how God sent Jesus to cover our sins for us? It makes me sooooo giddy just thinking about it! Even more giddy than caffeine ever could. I'm so glad God loved us, horrible sinners, and sent Jesus to wash away our sins. On that note, here's a link to one of my favorite worship songs. http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/search/songs/?query=jesus%2C%20thank%20you (I hope that works, if not, it's Jesus, Thank You by Sovereign Grace Music)
Here's the lyrics:
The mystery of the cross I cannot comprehend
The agonies of Calvary
You the perfect Holy One, crushed Your Son
Who drank the bitter cup reserved for me
Your blood has washed away my sin
Jesus, thank You
The Father’s wrath completely satisfied
Jesus, thank You
Once Your enemy, now seated at Your table
Jesus, thank You
By Your perfect sacrifice I’ve been brought near
Your enemy You’ve made Your friend
Pouring out the riches of Your glorious grace
Your mercy and Your kindness know no end
Lover of my soul
I want to live for You

Friday, the 13th
Now, I'm really not a superstitious person. But, it's good to get a laugh out of the day. So here's a list of all the "bad" things that happened to me today.
1. I stayed up until 2 a.m. And yet, I can't really complain, I got to catch up with a couple of my good friends on skype (seriously people, I love skype, add me! nmpierson).
2. I woke up at 7:10 to go skiing. Well, after struggling to put my contacts in and putting on my still damp swimsuit I received a text from Adam saying to go back to bed cuz it was lightning (I really hate that word, I think it should be lightninging) out. So I went back to sleep until 10:30. Glorious!
3. My levels are still ridiculously high, I think I need a different nighttime dosage of insulin. I called my doctor the other day and she said she'd get back to me within that day. Well, two days later, no call! Whatever, I guess I'll just shoot myself up with tons of insulin at meals and only eat fruit for carbs. Sounds like a great way to lose that 3 pounds I gained in the past two weeks. I'm really hoping those are going to be gone when I go home and step on that scale.
4. At lunch, I was reaching for the strawberries and of course they fell right into my glass full of peach mango iced tea. So there was now tea all over me and strawberries all over the table. I am such a clutz lately! Ok so sidenote: I was telling my family how great this peach mango iced tea is compared to the peach tea (they're both crystal light and delicious btw, I say go buy some pronto!) because it's a light color and won't stain when you spill it. I bet they are happy I spilled that and not the peach tea. Wa-bam!
5. Well, this didn't happen to me, but Jacob peed the bed (and by the bed, I mean Emily and Adam's bed) this morning. Lol I personally think it's hilarious. I told Emily she should buy bigger diapers and put the bigger diaper over his little one. Haha! How funny would that be?!?
6. Jacob threw up right in front of me into Emily's hand. I almost threw up, I actually gagged. Yuck! I'm not having kids for a LONG time! Sorry mom, you'll just have to rely on Emily for grandchildren. :P
7. My stupid phone (and yes, it's stupid. My old beautiful voyager stopped charging in June so I got our old LG crap phone) keeps freezing up. Quite annoying! Plus, it doesn't even receive video messages, that's just plain sad!
8. This past week I became addicted to coffee (well, I suppose it's actually caffeine). I'm trying to get unaddicted, this is NOT fun. Lots of headaches and necessary naps to get through the day. I think I almost fell asleep 5 times today just sitting at the kitchen table.
9. As I was trying to take a nap today, there was a stupid fly that would NOT leave me alone. Every time I was half asleep, it would land on my face. Lol and each time I would try to kill it (yes, while it was on my face). Let's just say it didn't end well. Eventually I got a fly swatter, that fly is old news now! Ka-bam!
10. Tried taking Jacob's 4 month pictures today. No success, this is the best picture I got. I'm ashamed of my photography "skills" today. :(
In my defense though, he was not a happy camper and it was way too bright out.
11. At dinner, I was walking by my sister and accidentally ran into her shoulder. Which then made the whole table shake, which then spilled Emily's milk. I seriously just can't win with things and spilling lately.
12. Me and Adam went skiing after dinner, my goal was to not get my hair wet. Well, after hitting a couple waves, that goal was not accomplished. I went down twice tonight, not a very good night for me. :( Also, I expect to see a bruise on my left upper arm. That fall was a good one! Lots of laughter. Haha! And on another bad note about my skiing tonight, I have blisters on my palms by every finger, that's gonna hurt for a couple days. :(
13. I started my laundry at 11 tonight. Not the smartest move. Now I have to wait up for it to finish, and I'm tired despite my 3 hour nap. Lame!
Well, despite all these "horrible" things, I actually had a great day.
Also, I'm sorry this got so long. If you read it all, you're cooler than me. I sure wouldn't read something this long unless I had no life. Lol So actually I prolly would read it. I love my life!

"It's always fair weather when friends are together."
I'm sitting here thinking about what to write, but nothing's coming to mind. Nothing funny happened to me today. I didn't have a laughing attack. Really, it was just a sad day. :(
I woke up early, so I took a nap. A two hour nap, glorious! Well, I woke up groggy and stayed that way for at least two hours. Until finally I decided it was time to do something. So me and my mom made gf (yes, that stands for gluten free) chocolate chip cookies. Well, the dough is awesome, so awesome I kept sneaking some. Then, I ate two cookies. Yes, I realize that's not a big deal in reality. But, in the reality of a diabetic, it's a HUGE deal. My levels were a wee (and by wee, I mean a lot) bit high. So, I ate not so many carbs for dinner and shot myself up with tons of insulin.
Tonight, we went to the Ambassadors concert. Little Jacob was fussy, which made for a good laugh from me. Ever notice how hard it is to stifle a laugh when you just wanna be loud? I did, it's not fun. Kinda ruins the moment. Lol Anyways, they sounded beautiful! After I even got to catch up with a few of them, it was very nice. Also, did you know? "It's always fair weather when friends are together."
On the way home we were driving towards a huge storm. It was so beautiful with all the lightning behind the clouds. And right above us were brilliant stars. All in all, a beautiful night from my wonderful Creator.
Also, I think my life should be made into a movie. I'd go to it. Feel free to leave a comment with what you think. I'm thinking Kate Bosworth, the girl from Win a Date with Tad Hamilton could maybe pull me off. Plus, she's cute. And to have a successful movie, you need a cute star. It's just the truth.

Blogging
Let's be honest. Blogging really isn't my thing. But, I think that my life is interesting. Maybe other people will too. Who knows?!?
So many funny things happen to me, I love my life!
Yesterday I drove up to my cabin to enjoy the rest of the summer up here (well, for the most part). I got here and my family was gone! They went to Watertown to go shopping :( So I unpacked and took a nap. Well, when I woke up there was a baby in my face, my handsome nephew, Jacob. It was so great seeing him after such a long time (and yes, 2 weeks is a LONG time). Well, Emily (my sister) decided to make him laugh and holy crap, his laugh is so great! It made me and Emily laugh so hard. So we went inside, made dinner, ate, cleaned up. Well, me and Adam (my brother-in-law) decided we were going skiing. So, we did. And it was awesome! I didn't get my hair wet at all, I consider that a huge accomplishment since I usually faceplant it at least once every time I go skiing. Well, if you know me and skiing, you know there is tons of screaming coming from me when I'm up. Lol, when we got back, my mom said, "We heard you all around the lake." So great! Everything is better screaming, just try it, I dare you.
So last night I was making popcorn for the fam, and right as it was finishing up (yes, I was lazy and used the stir crazy) I went to flip it over in the bowl. Well, I guess I wasn't expecting it to be THAT hot, but it was! And I dropped it. So there was now popcorn all over the counter and floor. Well, my dad was standing out in the garage and just walked in and past me mocking me with a smile. No idea how I thought this was funny, but I was laughing so hard, I fell on the ground. Now this seems quite ridiculous laughing that hard, but if you know me, you know that I pretty much laugh for sport. There is nothing better than laughing to the point of an ab workout. Nothing! (Well, maybe screaming for sport.)
Well, after I cleaned up my mess of popcorn we started eating it, but not until after Emily kicked my butt once again at Blink (stupid game! and yet, I will play until I can kick her butt at least 5x in a row, and of course by then I'll be addicted). Then, my mom decided she HAD to show me this email forward that is in her words "so funny". I never know if what she says is funny is funny, sometimes yes, sometimes heck no! Anyways, so I started reading it while stuffing my face with popcorn. Well, it was hilarious. So hilarious in fact that someday I'll prolly put it on here. Anyways, I had another laughing attack. So great!
Side note: Get skype and add me, I love it!
This morning my turquoise (well, really it's more blue, but I'll stick with turquoise) straightener came in the mail. Wa-bam! Worked beautifully! And it's a nano, aka tiny, aka perfect for traveling! Glorious!
Well, I'm out of stuff for now. Hopefully I can keep up this blog. And hopefully it's funny for people other than me. :)
Over and out!

Well, I guess I wasn't expecting it to be THAT hot, but it was! And I dropped it. So there was now popcorn all over the counter and floor. Well, my dad was standing out in the garage and just walked in and past me mocking me with a smile. No idea how I thought this was funny, but I was laughing so hard, I fell on the ground. Now this seems quite ridiculous laughing that hard, but if you know me, you know that I pretty much laugh for sport. There is nothing better than laughing to the point of an ab workout. Nothing! (Well, maybe screaming for sport.)
Well, after I cleaned up my mess of popcorn we started eating it, but not until after Emily kicked my butt once again at Blink (stupid game! and yet, I will play until I can kick her butt at least 5x in a row, and of course by then I'll be addicted). Then, my mom decided she HAD to show me this email forward that is in her words "so funny". I never know if what she says is funny is funny, sometimes yes, sometimes heck no! Anyways, so I started reading it while stuffing my face with popcorn. Well, it was hilarious. So hilarious in fact that someday I'll prolly put it on here. Anyways, I had another laughing attack. So great!
Side note: Get skype and add me, I love it!
This morning my turquoise (well, really it's more blue, but I'll stick with turquoise) straightener came in the mail. Wa-bam! Worked beautifully! And it's a nano, aka tiny, aka perfect for traveling! Glorious!
Well, I'm out of stuff for now. Hopefully I can keep up this blog. And hopefully it's funny for people other than me. :)
Over and out!
