Crazy Teachers

The teachers have gone mad! They're piling on the tests this week. I have four tests on tuesday. At least one test on Wednesday and one thursday. Last week was super easy. There were a few projects but nothing hard. I swear all of the teachers planned to have all their tests this week. They're all in hard classes too. I just wish they were a little more spread out. I want to be able to study each one and just focus on one thing at a time.

It's stressful...

Confirmation

I was confirmed today...

It's weird cause I actually feel a little different.  It kinda makes church more fun cause it feels like it's my choice whether of not to go now.  I don't feel like someone is making me do things.  It feels more free!  But just cause there's more freedom doesn't mean it's over.  Like everyone keeps telling me... now's when it really starts.

It's not the end...

It's a new begining! :)

Snow

I know mainly everyone is upset with the snow this week...

but honestly I liked it.

It was one of the prettiest snows,

I've ever seen

It soared down in big fluffy flakes

Covering the ground with a white powder

Nobody had to shovel

It didn't hurt anyone

It wasn't freezing cold

It was just plain pretty.

History of Knaboobing

So most of you have heard of the sport knaboobing, made up by Ashley and me, (if not see Ashley's blog) but no one knows the history of knaboobing...

Putting an air mattress in the water was actually my dad's idea. Morgan, Galen, Ashley and I were sitting at my dinning room table eating breakfast after a sleepover. My dad came up with the idea that the four of us should go kayaking and pull an air mattress behind the kayak. So we hooked up a ski rope to the back of a kayak and threw the knaboob in the water. There were two kayaks. one dragging the knaboob behind it and one all alone. We traveled across the lake and right in the middle of the lake we decided to trade spots. So we created a flotilla. The two on the air mattress climbed into each boat, while the other two climbed onto the air mattress. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LAKE! Picture what the cars driving by were thinking! Haha! It was the beginning of spring, bright and early in the morning. They probably thought we were nuts! It was freezing out!

Luckily none of us fell in the water, although after the last switch some water did pour onto the knaboob because it had deflated. The air mattress has a little bitty teeny weeny hole.

Now i know we sound crazy but honestly i thought it was super de duper fun! It was the most fun I'd had in a long time. It was exciting and daring and stupid all together. and when we were done, we came up with the idea to pull an air mattress behind a boat...

hence the invention of
KNABOOBING!!!

Friends

My friends mean the world to me.

I honestly don't know where I'd be without them!

We are so comfortable around each other we can say anything,

do anything,

be the weirdest people on Earth 8)

I don't ever feel stupid or humiliated around them.

We can say the dumbest jokes around each other and still laugh.

We don't have to be cool.

We all have our quirky qualities.

I don't feel like the outcast.

I can just be me!

I'll always be there for them...

and I know they'd do the same for me.

No matter what happens...

We will

ALWAYS

be friends!

:*) I love you guys!

If you're alone, I'll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder.

If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow. If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile.

But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me.

Family

This may sound dweeby but i love my family! We're definally different from other families. Sometimes we are all together but mainly we just see eachother around the house. My parents don't make me do any family activities or anything. They've always just let me and my brother do what we want, but not in a bad way. My dad can get super excited about things and when he finds a new project around the house or some new object my familiy needs he works at it forever. He always does everything right the first time. And my mom, she cares about us all so much whether we know it or not. She is madly in love with my dad and would do anything to make him happy. My brother can be a trouble maker at times, but i'll always love him! He is one of the easiest people to talk to and just one of those people everybody wants to know. We can all be crazy and get excited over stupid things. And when we laugh everybody can hear it for miles. But we can also be a quiet family. It's weird though cause we don't notice it at all. Only my friends will point it out to me every once in a while. They tell me how akward it is cause we don't talk. I guess that's just cause we all like to think a lot and don't feel like we have to always talk. It's ok to listen or be quiet for a bit. I prbabaly don't tell them enough but i truely do love my family! I don't know where i'd be without them!

Cool...

To most people the "cool" kid would be the popular guy.
the person with all the expensive clothes,
the prettiest girlfriend/boyfriend,
the nicest car,
the kid everybody knows.

But to me the "cool" kid would be almost the opposite of that.
the person who's not afraid to wear what he/she wants,
who isn't afraid to be weird,
does what ever he/she wants to do,
isn't afraid to speak their mind,
is original,
doesn't try to be somebody else,
Doesn't Have To Be "Cool".

In my mind the "cool" kid is just the happy person who's not afraid of being them self.
