have been pretty epic! :)
On Saturday, Ben and I had a birthday party. Both of our birthdays are in November, so we just had a combined party :) It was a dance in the gym at our old church. And it was pretty cool because that was the most room we've ever had at a dance! :D Yeah...it was SO FUN!!! :):) My friends are the best. Oh! And we had this Cotton Eyed Joe contest (see who could last the longest doing the dance with the song on a continual loop). I only lasted for three repetitions of the song, but I am proud to say that Erin, Laura, Bri, and two of Ben's friends lasted for FIVE! :O And then it was apparent that they would not give up, and we had to call it a tie, and then draw a name for the prize. ;) But it was exhausting! haha :) So yeah, that was a VERY fun day!! Oh, and also, Laura spent the night, and that made it even BETTER! :D we had a lot of fun talking and stuff :):):)
And then yesterday was my birthday. It was amazing!! First, I had a guitar lesson. Then we met my dad at my FAVORITE restaurant (Hibachi Buffet) for lunch :) (SUSHI AND STIR FRY!!! :D ) And then we went home and did school. Lol :) And then Mamaw, Grandma, and Grandpa came over for dinner (tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches!) :) I opened Ben's presents after dinner. He gave me two bottles of crackle nail polish (black and silver) (yay!!) and "Ocean Eyes" by Owl City (awesome band!!!!!! And Morgan gave me "All Things Bright and Beautiful" by them, too!! yay!!! :D ). I was soooo happy! ^_^ And then! My parents gave me this big box wrapped in gold wrapping paper, and it had a card on top. And they said to open the box first (unusual....). So...I did, and I was SHOCKED to discover the contents of this box!!!! It. Was. A. DSLR. Camera!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH MY WORD!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah. How bout *EXCITEMENT!!!* :D I had been wanting this camera for quite some time, but then Symon was sick ($500), and now I'm going on a missions trip ($2,500) and so I was like "Yep...this camera will have to wait, I guess!" But then my awesome parents and grandparents all chipped in and got it for me!! :) Plus, they got me an additional zoom lens and a case!! :):):) I was so happy!!! :) And I cried. haha :) And then, after the battery charged, I took pictures!!! :D That's what I did this afternoon after school...I actually took my Barbies out to do a photoshoot with them. hahaha! I had brought them up from the basement for my six year old cousin to play with, so I still had them up here, and then I was like "I COULD TAKE PICTURES OF THEM!!!" HAHA :):) Yep, it was pretty fun :):)
Okay, I know my grammar is horrific, and I was totally rambling and I started most of my sentences with "AND THEN!" But, oh well! I just had to write out my excitement in the excitement form it takes in my mind. :P :)
Well, that is all for now. :) Ipml!! :) Maybe some pictures later! :):) adios!

my bday party
was today. it was soooooooooooooooooooo much fun!!!!!!! it started at 1pm and ended at 6pm. matt got here first (apparently at 12:58:10pm, but i didn't pay that much attention =) and then jacob got here next. then laura, kat, and matthew got here. then jaymee, erin, and bri. first we played pit. that didn't really go very well because some of us weren't very serious about playing it (but not me, i wanted to play it). so then we started a game of 'guesstures'. that was fun. i wasn't very good at actually doing the charades, but it was awesomely fun watching the others do them. we had just started and then alek got here. so that evened out our teams, he was good at the charades (yeah, it seemed like everyone except me was at least somewhat good at them). after that we filled out a questionaire that i made. yeah, it was funny, i thought of doing a questionaire where you fill it out and then someone reads each one and u have to guess who it is. i though of it because daddy jokingly said he was gonna make all the guys fill out questionaires. and then he told matt that he was going to make all my friends fill them out. so then i thought that it would be hilarious if we actually did that (at least for me, daddy, and matt). so everyone filled them out then. and then we did a game that i named 'musical wrappers' (even though that's not it's real name, idk what the real one is). it was really fun. it's like musical chairs except not =). actually it was like daddy would turn on the music and then we would pass a little gift around and when daddy stopped the music, whoever had it got to take off a layer of wrapping paper. the first gift was catpee gum (trident tropical twist) and laura got it. i really don't think that it is fair that my MOTHER and FATHER won't buy me any catpee gum, but they'll buy it for my friends!!! argh! anyway, the other gift was a slinky and jacob got it. he gave bri the box lol.
after that, daddy read some of the questionaires and we had to guess who's they were. then after doing a few of those, we ate dinner (or 'lunner' as jaymee called it). it was soooooo good. ya know, we had hobo stew. and my mom also made fried bread, that was AWESOME! the hobo stew was AWESOME too! lol. erin was the only one that didn't like it. she was quite pitiful and wouldn't try it until we practically forced her to (by not leaving her alone until she tried it) and then she said 'i'm not hungry' and didn't finish it. it was kinda funny.
then my mom showed some of the tim hawkins videos. that was fun. and then we did some more questionaires, and then did the other musical wrapper thingie (sorry i got the order mixed up before, we did before and then one after we ate). next we finished the questionaires, and then went outside for the last hour and played hide and seek. that was fun. the first game kat and i hid on gma & gpa's porch and bri and laura we 'seeking'. we hid there until they got close to us and then kat took off. i hid there a little longer and then snuck off after laura and bri were gone. i sneakily ran to gpa's garden and hid behind the caster plants. and then bri and laura walked right by me on the other side and didn't see me (the guys on our porch that had already been found laughed at them) then bri finally found me. jacob was the last to be found, he was hiding right next to the compost pile (ewww!) under a tarp. i'm very surprised he didn't come out with an egg shell on his head lol.
then the other game of hide and seek was fun too. erin and i decided before that game to hide at the 'potty tree' in the lot on the side of our house (it's a tree that looks like a toilet, it has an incredibly hilarious story behind it, but i won't tell it for the sake of others =). so we ran over there when jacob and jaymee started counting. unfortunately there wasn't enough room for us both to hide behind it so erin hid behind a different tree that was really close to me. then alek hid behind a tree on the other side of the driveway. erin and i conversed (wow, big word, jacob would be impressed lol) from behind our trees, but sometimes i went over behind her tree so we could hear each other. then after a little while jacob found me, he saw my bright green camp shirt (grrrr). but neither he nor jaymee saw erin or alek. so i helped them look for people, but i didn't tell them where erin or alek was. then i told matt where they were, and after erin was the only one left, we went "looking" for her and told her that she could come out. it was funny. then matthew's dad came and after that everyone's parents got there. it was sad when everyone had to leave, i had sooooooooo much fun! i hope everyone else did too!
well, sorry that was such a long post, but i just wanted to go through everything (i certainly did not tell everything that was funny, that would prob take, like, a whole blog lol =)
well, ipml! thanks 4 ur patience with the length (if anyone even finished it lol)

shadow
is doing much better now. he's jumping up on our counters and table (which he gets in trouble for), and playing with ben's marbles, and he's going outside every day now. he just comes in at nite. so we're very thankful that he's so much better. =)
right now i'm reading the first book in "the lord of the rings", 'the fellowship of the ring.' it is soooooo good! i can't wait to finish it so i can get to the next one and also watch the movie. i've already watched all the movies, but i did that before i read the books, so hopefully the movies will make more sense this time around lol =)
i can't wait until this weekend! friday we're going to a pumpkin patch/corn maze with our homeschool group. that should be fun. and then friday nite we have fun for all at our church. i'm dressing up in an amish outfit (oh yeah, fun for all is our church's alternative to trick-or-treating). i'm too old for fun for all, but i get to help out with it. (personnally, i think being in jr. high and getting to help out in stuff like this is better than actually doing it). at the end we (the helpers) get to play on the big blow-up bouncy things (i'll have to take a change of clothes since i'll be wearing a dress lol).
so then on saturday i have my bday party. actually my bday isn't in october, it's in november, but we're having the party in oct. cuz it's a little warmer. yeah, we're gonna have a campfire, and play games, and we're gonna eat hobo stew. just in case u don't know what hobo stew is, i'll tell u. everyone brings a can of their favorite soup (or just whatever soup they have in their pantry and nobody is eating) and we add all of the cans of soup to one pot. we had it while we were camping, and it was really good. the first time i heard of it was when ben went to one of his friend's bday party and they had it there. but anyway, i think it's gonna be really good. but i told everyone NOT to bring oyster stew or clam chowder. i cannot stand either one (well, i've never actually had either, but just the thought....ugh). but i won't be surprised at all if someone (especially one of the guys) brings one of those just to tick me off. but i can't wait! i'm just sooooo excited. unfortunately though, three of the girls will be quite late. they're doing a DIA activity together. but so far everyone is able to come (except maybe kat, she might have the flu).
well, ipml!
