Hope is thinking that the computer is a time thief and has had much better things to do as of lately. She probably won't blog for a while, she's so busy.
Sooooo she's out....

I wonder how many people read my blog but just don't bother 2 comment...

Btw, Who likes the cute smiley dude?

"HOW 'BOUT THAT?"

My week in Myrtle beach was aaaaawesome!! I spent it riding the crazy waves, lazying...I mean laying on the beach, in the hot tubs, swimming in the pools, being beat in ping pong, shopping, going on a boat ride, watching tv, and mostly having a great time being crazy w/ the Houks! Yep, I know that sounds fun. Annnnd it was. Who's not jealous? Yeah that's what I thought.
The best part was probably the cruise. That day was a bad but good day for that. It was really storming when we got out there and pretty cold but I think that made it kinda more adventurous w/ the boat rocking and all. I kept trying to stand up w/o the railing. I didn't do too bad actually. I decided then and there that I want to marry a pirate and so does Kezzi, so one day we'll both marry pirates and we'll go off and sail all over. Heck w/ college and being successful... we'll have more fun! ; ) Sound like a good life plan? I think so.

Well, on a more serious note, I realized while I was there, how different I feel about modesty as I used to. Before, when we'd go to the beach I was always kinda ashamed of what I have to wear when all the other girls are in bikinis and I stand out like a sore thumb. But I totally see it different now and it makes me happier this way. I just see the girls on the beach who are hanging all over their boyfriend totally exposed like that. It's just so cheap and lame. And walking around wearing that makes them look cheap and like they're just wanting attention and it just looks pretty shameful. Not that every girl who wears a bikini wants attention it just looks that way. It also makes them really self conscious and I'm just sitting there so glad that I don't look and feel like that. I feel covered and secure and it's so much better that way.

It was so weird while I was there, thinking that Priscilla was practically all the way around the world. Creepy. Strange. It's good to have her back w/ us. You know, to complete the foursome. : ) No, I missed her. Now Candace on the other hand...even though she was w/ us she really wasn't. In her own little world these days. ...I wonder why?

Kezzi and I have been practicing a way to say awesome like our friend Chris. You gotta say it lazy and slow and make the "a" like a long o.
Aaaaasome. Yep.
Sweeeeeeet.

~How 'bout that?~

I'm not putting a title up! I can't think of one!

Okay, it's high time I post again aint it?
A lot's happened since last time I posted.
Let's see... we did the lamest perfomance ever, Joseph and the technicolor dream coat. >:b I was glad when it was over.

C&ace got engaged!!!! Read about it at shadybrook acres and at C&ace's blog.

We went to Missouri again for the H2O. It was a ton of fun. The ride home though...ugh, we left strait from the H2O at like 12 and drove all night till 12 in the afternoon. Needless to say, after that I was thankful for my own bed!

The evening we got home, Michael proposed to Candace. And it was the weirdest proposal ever!
Again go to the other blogs and read about it.
Let's see... the other night Kezzi Pris and I went to visit w/ the Tarpleys, friends that used to go to our old church and a friend of theirs Chris. We went bowling and made fools of ourselves but had fun doing it.

Oh I'm so exited! Tuesday, I went to look at keyboards, and Mom said her and Dad agreed to buy me a really nice one!!!! So it'll come in next week and we can go and get it!! It's a Roland and it can hook up to the computer and I'll be able to do a lot w/ it. I can't wait to start messing w/ it!!

We've been having fun filthing out at our unfinished lake. ("Filthing" comes up as spelled wrong, but one day we'll have it added to the dictionary.) I just love the squishy, silky feeling mud at the bottom. There's a rope swing that's really high and so far I've been to chicken to go off it. I do like getting a running start and jumping off the edge. One night at about 9 Dad and us girls decided to go swimming in the dark. It was awesome! I rowed around in one of the kayaks getting creeped out by this one place that was hard to row away from. Then the neighbors heard us and hollered over that we were crazy. We got to do it again.

Because of last night I'm happier about dance. We danced at a church and did some really neat worship songs. Which one of them was just Pris and I doing improvisation. It was my first time and I was really scared but it worked out okay. I like dance a lot more when we're not doing worthless lame stuff like Joseph. This time we even did a few numbers from HiStory. I can't wait to do HiStory again, we'll be dong it again in November. We may be going to Alabama to do it sometime, but we don't know when yet.



(Okay I'm pretty much out of things to say but this post doen't seem complete.

So........I'll just keep talking and anoying whoever reads this by blabbering about nothing.)



I dont want it to be fall yet. I don't like cold weather. Some of the leaves are already turing yellow : (.

I can't wait til we go to the beach w/ Lori and Kenny. It'll be fun.

I love waking up to music playing. What if there was no such thing as music? What a boring depressing life. I guess God knew what He was doing and knew that I'd go crazy without it. But I guess if we never had it then we wouldn't miss it, but life wouldn't be complete.

I hate spiders and crickets. I've had to squish way to many the last few days. The door down stairs it messed up and is letting in all kinds of creeps.
Let's see, how can I end on a good note...?
Um, I know, C , no C#- yeah (Okay that was really lame! : /)
Sorry, I'm tired. I stayed up way to late.
Well...believe it or not,
~I'll be back~

2 BUSY 2 POST

I'll blabber later sometime...
~I'll be back~

More Partyin'

Alright, I can't let the other girls outdo me in posting. I usually try to post more often 'cause I don't have a face book. Oh well I haven't really succeeded in posting often though. Well, we had a great time in MO! It was nice being back again after nearly a year.

I'm really exited about our lake being dug out! It'll be filthy hard core! It won't be long til it's done. And when it is, I'll be spending nearly every day down there. It's gonna have an island, a rope swing and a sandy beach! We also have a canoe to use. That'll be way better than the 4 foot pool we used to have.

I had a super busy weekend. Lets see... Friday night we went to see the new Harry Potter. It was good but not for a Harry Potter movie. I'd hoped it'd be a little better. Anyway we stayed up really late then the next morning, we got up really early for a curriculum fair. It kind of seems like the homeshcoolers there in general are not near so nerdy and typical "homeschoolerish" (Is that a word?) as they used to be the previous years. Well, I got to meet Danya a girl Kezzi and Pris had already met at another curriculum fair and see an old friend of mine who I only get to see every couple years at curriculum fairs. That evening the four of us girls went to a 60's birthday party of a friend of ours Kelsey. We all dresses up as much like 60's as we could and went and saw Hairspray. It was really a high energy fun movie, but there was some inappropriate dancing in my opinion. Zac Efron made the movie a lot better. ; ) I think we all have a crush on him!

We got back to Kelsey's and had a blast dancing to the Hairspray soundtrack. Afterwards we played some games one of which was one person would start a beat and everyone would join in tapping on cups and making weird voice noises. It was so cool sounding. I love doing that. Well Kezzi and I decided to just spend the night there since we had to go to church near there anyway and it takes an hour from our house. Candace and Pris decided to go home. Party Foul! But we had fum without 'em anyway :b and stayed up and had some really good conversations till 2:30.

Sunday after church we went to a friends wedding and got there late because there was a misprint in the directions. Afterwards, there was a big dinner and dancing. I think that's how every wedding should be. None of that quick cake and punch and go home stuff. It's a celebration for goodness sake! We learned some square dancing-ish dances that were really fun and energetic. It was a ball. (No pun intended). We didn't get home till like midnight or later. So here I am drinking coffee and feeling the need to go swimming and get my energy out.

I'm so glad! Mom promised us a two week complete summer vacation were we get to sleep in as late as we want for once in our lives and not do one ounce of school. But after that we'll start up full force for the year.

Annnnnnnd I'm out...

~I'll be back~ (knowin' me it'll probably be a while though ; )

That was like, the best party ever!

I'm so exited! I'm finaly getting to do what I've wanted to for a long time! Next week I'll be starting piano lessons and in the fall I'll be taking choir. Also, all four of us may start taking voice with our neighbor. Yippee!
Saturday, one of our dance teachers had her 18th birthday party and graduation party combined. In the invitation, it said it was a Hiwian party. We got there and it really did look like some Hiwian beach resort. They even had Hiwian music blaring and the cake looked just like a sand castle. It was so cool. Well, I had a lot of fun swimming in the pool, playing volley ball, (my favorite sport) doing the limbo, taking a little hula class, having water fights, and watching fireworks. We got home at 1 and though the next day I was dead tired it was totally worth it! I also hurt my hip pretty bad jumping into the pool but it was still worth it.
This coming dance production is a modern version of the bible story of Joseph. It's gonna be pretty funny. I'm actually one of the brothers, Zebulin. Zeb the pirate. Yep. We each have a character we're dressing up as. Pris is a cowboy, and Kezzi is a break dancer. We also get to gather our own costumes, so I'll have fun with mine! I'll probably get some ideas from Pirates of the Caribbean.
This morning I woke up at 6 with a horrible ear infection and couldn't sleep. It still really hurts and the tylenol isn't working...waa...wa. Alright I'm shutting up.

Happy 4th Everyone!
~I'll be back~
