Well, my hypothesis proved to be correct, school is a little overwhelming and I'm only on Day 3. See, it's already done something to me I used the word "hypothesis" in a sentence. Who does that? Oh well, the good news is the weekend is almost here! :D But school is still pretty great. My most challenging subject though would have to be Algebra. It my worst subject, that has to say something when I'm taking British Literature too. Today we studied about Beowulf. :O Enough said. Let's just say Old English is not quite my forte'. I could barely understand the story. Well, I have schoolwork yet to do, books to be read, books to write.
That's all for now,

Goodbye....
Well, it's time to say goodbye to summer. And hello to a new school year!! Wohoo! We are starting school tomorrow, and I must say my school schedule looks a little overwhelming. But I'm ready to get back into school. I don't really think I have more classes than I've had before, just a lot more work in each class. Hope you all have a good school year, whether you've already started, or are starting soon. Hope you enjoyed your summer, at least what we saw of it, as much as I did too! I'll try and post more later on this week (no promises though).
That's all for now,

Summer?
Well, it's been forever since I've updated what's been going on. One reason for that would be, not much is going on. :)
So most schools around here started school already. :O Summer is gone! And it seems like it just started. At the end of the month, I will be starting my sophomore year of high school! High school. So much different than middle school. More homework. More classes need to be taken to get my credits so I can graduate. But at least, I enjoy doing school, mostly.
This summer even though gone by way to fast, was fun!
1) At the beginning of summer we went camping with our cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents ect. That was really fun. Wen't canoeing for the first time.
2) We started a park thing with our youth group, called "English in the Park". It's been such a great time. We go to the park and talk with the kids and parents who come, we play games with them, and then we have a short message at the end. The kids have been so amazing!
3) Our family has been going through the book of 2 Timothy, for a Bible Bee program that we are doing. It has been really good, doing that study of 2 Timothy, and memorizing bible passages.
4) Kings Pointe! We went to Kings Pointe with our homeschool group. That was amazing! :D
There are more things we did this summer but I'm gonna stop for now. Even though the summer went way to fast, it was still an awesome one. But I'm ready to get back to school. Yup, that's right. I like school, i'm weird like that. Well, that's all for now, i'll try and post more often from now on.

More Precious than Gold
Hey, it's me again. Sorry, once again that I let it get so long since I wrote a blog post. Today, I thought I would recommend a book to you guys. The book I'm recommending is called "More Precious than Gold: The Fiery Trial of a Family's Faith" by John & Brenda Vaughn.
That is what the book looks like. And yes, I thought it was an amazing book. It's an autobiography which means that the people who the story is about wrote this book. And here is the summary of the book:
With faith refined by this fiery trial and restored by God's grace, the Vaughns are later able to see gold come from the ashes of their former life. Their marriage develops a 'priceless oneness' as John and Brenda cling to each other as never before, John's ministry grows from a small church of 35 people to a church 1,000 members strong.
Overall it was a really great book, and I'd reccomend it to everyone. :)
That's all for now,

Postponed......
Hey it's me again,
So yesterday I was planning on putting a skit that me and Joy are working on. Yet it didn't happen, we ran into some difficulties along the way.
1) Fixing the kinks, in the play. I wrote it in like an hour, so there are kinks that needed to be fixed.
2) Getting our parts just right, having the right reactions to what were saying.
3) One of the most difficult, was keeping a straight face. For those of you who know me, it is practically impossible for me to win the "no smiling" game. So just think how it is for me trying to act? :)
So there were some more difficulties, but I just was going to let you know, that hopefully I will have it up in this next week. Sorry,
But for now here is another blog that you should check out:
Room for More is a blog written by some friends of ours. It's a great blog, and always a good read. It's our good friends T-bird, Rye-bread, and Sunshine's families blog. So if you've read Two Twinkies in a Ding Dong World, or Bursts of Sunshine's blog. You know that their family has to have a good one too. And it's awesome. Go ahead and check it out...

Another Movie Monday...
Hi, it's me again. Ready to post another movie for you guys. This weeks movie is "Flywheel". You know the drill, here's the B&N summary:
Weary of the masks he wears and the lies he tells, an unscrupulous used car salesman resolves to win back his wife, become a better role model for his son, and stop ripping off his unsuspecting customers in the inspirational feature directorial debut of Facing the Giants director Alex Kendrick. Jay Austin (Kendrik) is the kind of used car salesman that customers fears most - dishonest, manipulative, and constantly smiling as he sends another lemon driving off the lot. Eventually Austin's deceptive ways catch up with him, prompting him to take serious stock of his life from the ground up. Now, as Austin begins working to get his classic convertible back on the road, the repairs he performs under the hood begin to reflect the personal transformation that he is going through at home and at work. Determined to turn his life around for good this time, Austin soon finds out just how good things can get when he begins applying the philosophy of Jesus Christ to everyday life.
It's a great movie and if you haven't seen it yet. You totally should check it out.
Here's the trailer as well,
As the trailer states: Before "Facing The Giants", Sherwood Pictures had a $20,000 budget, and a movie called "Flywheel". So you may notice it's not as good of quality as the others, but still a great movie. With a great message.
That's all for now,
