Another Miracle

One of my bestest friends Morgan and her family applied and have been waiting 5 years for a referral for their Chinese baby girl. After 5 years of prayer and faith in God, THEY GOT THERE REFERRAL YESTERDAY! :) :) :)! Praise God! Abigail Kay Ya-Shan Craig you are already so loved, and we all can't wait for you to be home with your family!

Some Thursdays Big Ten - #5

1) Me and Emily have these funny little stories that we come up with when learning our Spanish 2 vocab to help us remember the words. And most of the time our story has nothing to do with the actual meaning of the word, and then we get funny looks in class when telling our selves these completely random out there stories during our spanish tests. :)

2) My volleyball team is basically awesome, and I love them all so much! wouldn't ask for a more wonderful group of ladies to play with in my senior year....we're 8-2 whoop whoop.

3) First graduation meeting on friday....31 graduates. oh baby. Let The Good Times Ro11. :)

4) Ewan McGregor has the most amazing voice ever and if I was him I would sing all day long.

5) I very much want the Moulin Rouge soundtrack

6)Basketball starts a in 9 days. this excitess mee greatly! team made up of 10 seniors...all girls I love so so sooo much! This is going to be the best season ever.

7) I'm really gonna miss a certain best friend, named Ellie, when she moved to TN, in January. :(

8) Prom planning has begun! I'm so excited about the 2nd annual Carolina Capital Homeschool Prom "Masquerade"

I have a paper due in 12 hours and need to get a full nights sleep in there somewhere. and I really really don't want to write this yucky paper. this. is. a. problem.

any time now.

I LOVE Fall. It is my all time favorite time of the year. I love everything about it. The leaves all change, jeans, jackets, boots, Thanksgiving, pumpkin carving, scarecrows, Apples in all their glory...pie, crisp, muffins, and cider! jumping in leaf piles, powder puff football, volleyball tournaments, basketball starts (eeek!) the crisp cool air, the smell of cinnamon, the sound of leaves shuffling under and crunching under your feat, camping, oh I just love love love allll of it! And I'm starting to get a little tired of waiting for it to come. Oh Fall, why do you make me wait....

sometimes...

Sometimes.... my sister and I kidnap our friends at midnight, go to wal mart and have a hair dying/cutting, sleep over party.



Sometimes...my and my friends have Chinese picnics in old barns at really cool parks.



Sometimes....me and my friends pull shenanigans on our friends...and then they get bitter and try to turn it on us..


Sometimes... I give my little brother a bedroom makeover for his birthday.
Sometimes...me and my siblings plan a big surprise 50th birthday/28th anniversary party for my parents..

Sometimes we go on spontaneous beach trips and it makes me happy.
Sometimes...I feel sad for other people...because they're life doesn't seem as exciting as mine.

Senior shoot.

Before Sarah left for Connecticut (where she's working for the next 4 months at my aunt and uncle cafe) we went on a mini senior photo shoot. I love my seester, and the house is quite quiet with out her.
