New Year's Eve 2010

Hey Everyone!

Happy New Year!! That's totally wrong that it's already 2011... wow. So I thought I'd put some pics up of our epic (yes, this is the only time I will ever use that word haha) New Year's Eve. The Folmsbees+Burtners+my fam+tons of food+guns+hide n' seek in the dark+firecrackers+just plain awesomness= A pretty darn fun New Year's Eve. =) So, the main event of the day (as you'll see in the pics) was a result of a deep longing on mine and Mrs. Folmsbee's part to 1. Stick our faces in a cake and 2. Have a big food fight with our families. xD We and Kayla started planning sometime last week to get our 3 families in on it. BUT we kept it a secret until EVERYONE showed up for the event. =) It was SO fun how everyone jumped right in on the games and all got REALLY into it. We're thinking of trying to make it an annual New Year's Eve event hehe. Here are the pics (oh, btw this is only like 35 out of over 650 pictures taken on just MY camera yesterday haha):








Yep! So that's a brief overview of the day. =) I hope your New Year's Eves were fun and I'd love to hear about them! =D

"Out of the tree of life, I just picked me a plum...you came along and everything started to hummm"

So I am officially a failure as a blogger. I've been SO busy during the last few months with school and soccer that I haven't found much time to do anything else (at least during the week). Of course I don't mind the soccer part of it. ;) It's been SO much fun! So anywho, I was trying to think of ANYTHING I might be able to do a post about. I went through my pics and found some from when my fam went to my mom's relatives' houses in Starke, FL. And believe me. It's pretty much as stark as you can get haha! It's way out in the cuuntry. Everyone has southern accents, guns, and drinks sweet tea haha it's awesome. ;) I LOVE going there. So anyways, I found some of when my dad, grandpa, and I went target shooting on my aunt and uncle's property. I shot.. ok... lemme try and remember...haha ooh! yeah! A 22 rifle, a 38 special pistol, a 410 shotgun, and an AK47. It was soooo much fun!! It's a new favorite hobby of mine haha Here's some pics.

=)))

Lil Seth with the AK47 haha. Love that little guy

I love this one :D

I love my grandpa <3

My shots

Some of my free time has been being spent at the Folmsbee's. They are such a fun family! They came over for a little bit on Christmas day and I caught Grant sitting on our back porch step with his new guitar. He's a real charmer, that one. =)

Also, I've been thinking lately about how much of my life I've lived in Florida now. Next year (eeEE! It's almost here!!) it'll be 10 years!! CRAZY how the time flies by!! I was looking at old pics from Georgia and I found these oldies from about a year or two before we moved here. =)

God has blessed me so much through moving down here. I couldn't imagine what life would have been like if we hadn't moved =)

Well yeah! This was just about as random as any post can get! hahaha Hope ya'll are doing well!

SISTA!!! (why'd I use an A?? because I can of course!! ;) )

Ok, so I'm gonna start out with saying HAPPYYY 17th BIRTHDAY!!! I'm still pretty positive they got your birth certificate wrong though. And I gotta say we have a WEIRD friendship.. esp. the part about how we like 'broke up' for a year or two. HAHA! But since we were young then I think we just needed a break for a while cuz we're so craaazzyyy together... Now that we're older I don't think we'll need another break for at LEAST 2 or 3 years from now lol! jkjk Thanks for being such an amazing friend who I can talk to anytime about ANYTHING and you're there to listen and talk with. You're such a blessing from God. It's so scary how similar we are though! hahaha It makes me laugh when we just blurt out the same exact stuff lol! When I think back we've been through and done a lotta (hehe...) things together. Here's a list I've made from the things I can think of:

~Finger Painted

~Tried to Find a possible dead, most likely hurt dog (at NIGHT may I add..)

~Kayaked!! woot woot! We're PROS HAHAHA!!

~Got chased by a wild boar (hey. at least we had our macho brothers with us.. welll back then they were probably too wimpy to protect us)

~Climbed up near a dam and *cough* you *ahem* fell in the mud.... with white clothes on.. wow.. good laughs outta (haha.. ok... i really need to stop.. but it's so naturalll! hahaha) that one.

~YOU *ahem* got a concussion... I take the blame for that one.. seriously.. our theory that that's why we didn't get together for a year or two is probably the reason... we're just too dangerous together haha well I'M too dangerous around you. xD

~Ate a whole big bag of Animal Crackers in one day (no big deal for us)

~Almost got run over by a guy on a 4-wheeler.

~Looked 4 1/2 hours at old granny dresses trying to find some to buy ("Hey Kayla! What about THIS one??" BAHAHAHAHAA!!)

~Had water balloon wars (yesssss)

~Made the Quest Blog (The mildest of our feats)

~Played Parking Lot 3 to work on our driving skillz (yeah. I used a Z)

I probably could think of WAY more if I tried but I'm too lazy to. hehe

I found these pictures that describe how weird we are to everyone lol. Sorry.. this is just gonna be an embarrassing day for you. hehe

Ok well first I found this picture and it really makes me laugh... idk know exactly why... hmm..

Well this is us TRYING to look smart.. After a while Jesse Jarvis had to come up and help us.. he made us all look really dumb, of course.

(no comment.. except for the fact that foot massages are the best HAHAHA)

umm yeaahhh

I love these 2 girlies

HAHAHA!! yeah we're creepers! sorry you have half a mustache Kayla... hey! I have a whole in my head so it could be worse LOL!

Very memorable day haha!

Yeah wow. I can't believe I'm actually putting this one up ;)

We're just cool like this.

I would have put some oldies in here but our computer files are all messed up from switching the computer sooo yeah haha

Well I hope you have an AMAZING day and that this year is a memorable one (in a good way). =) I love you SOOO STINKIN much!!

Life is a Highway

Heyy!! Sorry it's been SO long since I've posted anything! Life has been so insanely crazy lately! But here are some things that have happened in the last few weeks or so. =D

1. Soccer season started!! I had to buy guys cleats because my feet are so big (heehee). But they don't look like a guy's, at least in my opinion they really don't. They're bright. I like them.

2. These bracelets are circulating around our church and other churches... It says 'Praystrong' and has Romans 12:12 below it which says, "Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer." It's a great reminder for us and a great conversation starter.

3. I officially love my camera. =) I've learned more about it lately which makes it even more enjoyable to take pictures.

4. I've been fascinated lately with burning things with a magnifying glass.. haha now I know this sounds weird but if you ever just want to let the stress then I recommend this simple little exercise. hahaha oh and btw I was NOT burning this particular hornet-type thing (I think it's a yellow jacket...idk). I just was experimenting how it would look on my camera. lol =P

5. We got an iMac!! I've been having so much fun learning it and trying out different things. iPhoto is amazing.

6. Trying to learn My Immortal by Evanescence on the piano.. we'll see how it turns out (thanks for the idea Stringbean!!).

7. I can not WAIT until it gets cold out! I have all these ideas for things including photoshoots to do w/ Kayla but we're too wimpy to go out in the heat. haha xD

8. I'm actually reading the Chronicles of Narnia series for the FIRST time! I'm going slowly though. I haven't gotten the chance to read a whole lot. =(

9. Our Marine Biology Lab started at our church! =D This is my halfway done experiment of evaporating saltwater.

10. I've gotten into country music. It makes me happy. Rascal Flatts is amazing. =)

I'll try to post more in the future. Sorry I haven't! =)
