God is Good

I had a busy weekend! Friday night I went to a football game... I'm NOT a sports person at all, and I planned on just staying home to work on homework for the night. However, about 15 minutes before it started, ERICA came to my house and told me I must come. Erica is my amazing friend who left for college this year, and I have missed her so much! She totally suprised me by showing up at my house, I had no idea she was in town! It was a fabulous suprise! I was BEYOND excited to see her! Oh yeah, I had fun at the game, too. I didn't really pay any attention to the game, actually. I was having a blast with my friends instead. That is why it was fun! Haha =)

On Saturday, I went to a suprise birthday party for my friend Mariah. It was lovely! It was a very girly party, with massages, make-up, hair styling, chocolate covered strawberries, and all of that fun stuff!

Saturday night was the "Hallelujah Barn Party". A sweet family from our homeschool group opens up their "barn" once a year for us home-school group members, and it's really fun! This year Garrett, Chyanne & Riley came with us, and it was a lot of fun! Cat was there, and Caitlin was there, too, but I didn't get to talk to her very much =( The ride HOME was the best thing, because Garrett & I made some HYSTERICALLY funny videos! We were singing Amazing Grace "opera" style, and it was SO hilarious!!

On Sunday, I served in "Toon Town" (the class for 6-9 year olds) at our Church, and I got a present! This sweet little boy gave me a ring! Lol =) I thanked him tremendously, of course, and it was funny, because he was like, "Miss Sprite, I know you think this is one of those CHEAP rings, but you don't understand! This was EXPENSIVE! I know you think I got this out of one of those 25 cent machines, but really, I got it out of a 50 CENT machine! It cost a LOT!" =)

Something cute happened on Sunday night, too. (I work doing childcare on Sunday nights) I was letting this girl color on my arm with markers, and all of the sudden, she gasped, and our conversation went like this:

K: "My goodness, Miss Sprite! You have a LOT of sprinkles!"

Sprite: "Sprinkles?"

K: "Oh, yes! You have so many sprinkle-dots!"

Sprite: "OH, you mean FRECKLES?"

K: "Oh yeah! That's what I meant!"


I LOVED THAT! Sprinkles instead of freckles! How cute! I've got "Sprinkle-dots" =) Haha... I so love my job!

Random note: I really like notebooks, funky pens, and writing when it is enjoyable. I love making lists and planning things.

I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW EXCITED I AM ABOUT DISCIPLE'S NEW CD COMING OUT IN EIGHT DAYS!!!

BY the way, something has got me thinking lately. It has started to bother me how often I use phrases without paying attention to what they mean. Like "by the way". I say "Oh my goodness" frequently, and I just thought about what it meant! Haha! I have decided that I should make up my own fun phrases, & hopefully everyone else will not steal them =/ I wouldn't mind it too much, but if I made up amazing phrases, and everyone started saying them, they wouldn't be unique for very long!

Well, I shall end my post with two quotes:

"If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain." -Maya Angelou

"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone." -Audrey Hepburn

Be blessed!
