THE CRAZIEST WEEK EVVEERR!! well kinda sorta...
Just to warn you this is going to be a really long post! :)
Monday: Did school... pretty boring day.... I can't remember anything else I did.. :(
Tuesday: Did school until about 1:00 then left for Biology. haha so I'll tell you about it more in just a second but I was going to Jessie Balao's house for a week and then to my grandparent's because my parents were gone so I walked into church carrying my big duffel bag, my little duffel bag (note that I WAS doing school that week so I had to have something to put it in :) ), 3 big boxes filled with biology stuff, my purse, camera bag, present for Jessie, and since I didn't have enough room in a bag, my Biology book and folder. HAHA!! I had to have 2 other people help me carry it all in!! Hahaha!! I was laughing pretty hard! sooo anywho, the people in Biology are Kayla, Jessie , (Breanna used to be in too but they moved :( ), Me (well duhhh....), Josh Smith, Jonah Folmsbee, Spencer Schmitt, Owen, Nolan, Zach, and umm... I think that's all.... it's pretty fun! sooo yeah we basically just looked in microscopes at a plant leaf, 3 things already in prepared slides that I can't remember the names of, a mushed up banana with iodine that looked like oatmeal (in my opinion), aaanndd Jessie's cheek cells (hahaha!! at least our group did [Kayla, Jessie, and Me]). The only really interesting thing that we saw was what we thought to look like an elephant with 2 eyes and a trunk :P. It was actually that mushed up banana with iodine but that's what WE think it looked like! :) So after that we just hung out and Jessie and I waited until Josh and Jordan came and picked us up (haha I had to have both Taylor AND Dewey help me carry out my stuff!! :P [btw Taylor, Elishah, Cody, and Olivia Schmitt do Chemistry at the same time so we get to hang out with all them peoples afterwards]). So they eventually came and we dropped Jessie off at ballet and I went home and did the school work that I couldn't get done before Biology. After I got my work done I helped Mr. Balao, who was making dinner, wash the dishes. I love washing dishes at other peoples house so when I told him that he grudgingly decided to let me :P. So when I was done doing that we went to pick up Jessie and then Jessie and I sat and talked in the car while Mr. Balao went in Publix to get some more food for dinner. We ended up having fried chicken, potato salad, and corn. It was all AMAZING!!! It's crazy how food can taste so good when you're at someone else's house (haha I alway pig out there! :P)! After dinner Jessie and I watched You've Got Mail which I had never seen before. It was really good! After that I don't really remember what we did but I think we set up the cot in her room, talked for a while, and went to bed (OH and we ate ice cream!! haha!!). And that ended Tuesday! haha! Ok I need a break from typing. I'll continue this in a minute! Well I guess you didn't need to know that cause it'll all be one long post.... haha anywho....
Ok, I'm back! haha! 3 hours later!!!! :P So yeah, I woke up on Wednesday morning (duhh!!) and Jessie and I ate breakfast and then started school. It's AMAZING how school goes by so fast when you're at your friend's house!! srsly! Sooo Jessie finished ALL her school in 2 hours!!! so I stopped too :P (My mom gave me like less than half of a regular day's school to do and I still had to do reading but it was flexible). We just hung around, ate lunch, and talked to Mr. Balao who had work off that day cause it was Veteran's Day... i think... that's pretty sad.... So after a while Jessie's Uncle called and asked Mr. Balao if we could watch Jessie's little 6 year-old cousin for an hour or two but before we could answer him Hayley Urquhart came (Hayley and Katie Cork were already planning to come so that we could celebrate Jessie's birthday which was that coming Friday). The next thing we knew Mr. Balao had hung up and said that Julia (Jessie and Katie's cousin) was coming over for about an hour. Which was totally fine but it was funny cause right when he said that Hayley, Jessie, and I all looked at eachother and started laughing. You see, Julia is kinda known around us for her umm.. idk.. i guess kinda bosy attitude. :P So anyways she came over and we played hide and seek and a boardgame. It was actually fun and we all had a good time! When she left we took my camera outside and took lots of pictures (I have about 250 pictures from all the things we did last week so I'll post some later). After that Katie came and we hung out. Then Mr. Balao took all of us to Jessie and Katie's aunt's house on Beachside cause the Balao's are watching her dogs. You see she lives in Atlanta and has cancer so she isn't able to take care of her dogs so the Balao's brought them down... They are SO cute! They are Cocker Spaniels (Sadly I didn't bring my camera so I couldn't take pictures) and their names are Cindy Lou and Smugely Grace!! haha! We went to Food Lion afterwards to get stuff to make pizzas and it was SO scary cause there were all these really creepy people around!!! EEKK!! But we made it out safe! Thank you God!!! :) We went home and we made a pepperoni pizza with Julia who had been promised that she could come that night for a little bit. :) We played life and Julia got REALLY crazy which made us look crazy cause we were laughing hard which made her MORE crazy annndd it goes on and on... That girl can EAT!! haha!! She had 1 piece of pizza and a HUGE piece of cake and after that she wanted BBQ beef!!! haha!! After she left we talked, set up the beds in the Living Room, Jessie opened her presents, we played like 2 or 3 hours of Halo (which I thought I would NEVER do in my lifetime!!) and then watched the most freaky movie EVERR called Coraline!!!! AAHHH!!! It was animated but it was still SOOO creepy!!!! haha but Hayley, Katie, and Jessie love it! Hayley want's it for her birthday!! haha! Hayley as always fell asleep during the movie and Jessie, Katie, and I went to bed around 3. (I'm really sorry this is taking so long! Whenever I tell something I have to give ALL the details! I'll try not to on the upcoming days!)
Thursday: We woke up and played Halo forrrr what? 5 hours?? yeah crazy right?? I never though I would but you SRSLY get addicted especially when there are just the 4 of you playing and you get the kill each other!! WAAHAHAHAHAAA!! ok so yeah. Now I understand why the guys can have all night Halo marathons! We then took pics outside and played around cause it was SO cold out!! We cleaned up and then Tori came to pick me up to got to my grandparent's house! Craziness!! :P I love going to their house cause we play card and board games like the WHOLE time!!! My grandma and I watched this movie Time Changer and then I went to bed.
Friday: In the morning I did school and then my grandma and I went out to play shuffle board. They live in this retirement community which is pretty much amazing! They have a club house with and exercise room, pool tables, a library, a huge meeting room, a big pool and jacuzzi, shuffle board courts, and tennis courts! It's really nice! The neighborhood is right next to the intercoastal so they have this boat dock where my grandparents used to launch their boat from.. just few months ago they sold it though.. :( Anywho we played a game of shuffle board that took SOO long! It was really fun though, plus it was cold out so that was really nice!! We went home, ate lunch, and played more games until it was time for them to take me home. They are so amazing!! I love them!! So I got home, got ready, and like 1 1/2 to 2 hours later Tori and I left for Rachel Macmicheal's 80's birthday party. I have lots of pictures so I'll post them soon! I had a great time hanging out with Hayley, Kayla, and Kelsey! It got FREEZING cold out!! We watched Back to the Future outside which I haven't seen in so long! Kayla, Kelsey, and I sat on a blanket and bundled up under a tree to watch it! We got home and my parents were back from their little trip. They stayed at a hotel here in Daytona most of the time but on Friday they went to Sanford to bike (I think). I went to bed at about 1:30 cause I unpacked and stuff.
Saturday: My family left at 8 to go to the church workday (I don't have any pics from it). I got to hang out with 2 of the the little Johnson girls pulling weeds (they are so sweet!) and then Hayley came (wow! I saw her a lot last week!) and she joined us. They ordered Papa Johns pizza for us (yay!) and after that I helped clean the church with Tori. We got home and a few hours later Mr. and Mrs. Merwin came to have dinner with my parents so Tori and I went to pick up Kayla and the headed to the Greek Festival. On our way there we say Christmas songs in REALLY bad harmony! haha It was so fun! Kristen Stemberger, Sarai and Bethany Moore, Josh Balao, Steven Cork, Josh Balao, and Rayna and Sam were there. So they had these people playing Greek music outside on this big patio thing and it was amazing cause all these people (almost all Greek I'm guessing cause of how well they danced together) were dancing in this circle. It TOTALLY seemed like I was in My Big Fat Greek Wedding!!!! All these people were just jumping in and dancing in perfect unison! well.. until Kristen and Kayla joined them! haha sorry Kayla jkjk!! It was SO fun to watch them. I took lots of pictures (a lot turned out dar though) and then later Rayna, Kristen, Bethany, Kayla, and I all joined in and had our own circle goin on! haha At different times these random ladies would come in and join us. This one lady was goin CRAZY and I guess she was trying to show us how the right way to dance was but we never really learned... :P It was SO fun! We just basically watched the people dance after that from this high wall above them. I have some pictures of this group of Greek dancers that did tons of dances! It lasted forever but it was really cool to watch! If you get the chance to you should listen to some of the Greek songs! I love the style! Just be sure that the songs are actually IN Greek! haha! But yeah... I REALLY want to be a Greek! Tori, Kayla, and I were joking about how we really want to marry into a Greek family so we can be like them and REALLY learn how to dance! haha! but srsly! i love them! So anyways, Kayla spent the night and we stayed up late (as usual) talking. :)
Sunday: We had church in the morning and listened to a very good message from Jesse on love and what true Christ-like love should look like and the difference between that and worldly love and passions. Right after church we had a church picnic where all the families bring food and hang around on the church property. Right after THAT they had the church meeting and I helped in the like 3-6 year class room with my mom, Lexi Johnson, Dewey, and Jessie. It was really fun and after we did Thanksgiving crafts we went outside and played on our church playground! haha that thing is getting a lot of use!! :) Straight after THAT Kayla, Hayley (haha there she is again!! :P), and Havi Moore came with us to the sports complex like 1 mile from our house to watch Owen and Taylor's baseball game. Elishah, Taylor Liskovec, Olivia, Jonathan, and Nolan were already there so all of us hung out and watched the game... well, Kayla and I did most of the time... the times that we didn't we were scavenging for food! haha! So yeah after that my mom and I went home and I finally could settle down and read my book that I haven't been able to read in forever!!
Monday (today): I did school the whole day and now I'm writing this.. :P So yeah. Tomorrow I have to do school and then babysit at night. There's caregroup tomorrow at our house too but I'll be babysitting which is totally fine cause I'm usually bored anyways since there are not really any kids to watch... so yeah...now I have a whole bunch of pictures that want to be put up so I guess I'll start working on that soon..... *phew!* that was SOOO long!! haha! You get the Great Friend award if you read this whole thing! (and a hug!!) I'm too lazy to read this whole thing so sorry if it doesn't make sense...
