Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I'm down south right now! Surprisingly I haven't been talking like a girl raised in the south! lol GRITS!! Anyways, I got so much stuff for Christmas I don't know if I'll remember everything I've gotten!!! Tonight I got a new curling iron, some kind of hair comb things, 2 scarfs, a pair of gloves, a blanket, lip gloss, and something else I'm not sure what you call it. lol But before this, I've gotten lots of things. Quint;) gave me an Aeropostale teddy bear with his calone sprayed on it, two of his senior pics, a digital camera, and a white vest from Aero. He's awesome!!! Anyways, enough about what I got! I wouldn't mind a snow day this coming semester. We haven't gotten alot of snow at home but it's snowed down enough to look pretty! :) School starts Monday for me. :( I want a longer break! O well. Tomorrow we're going further down south(close to Charlotte, NC)and going to spend some time with cousins. Anyways, Happy New Year to y'all!!!! lol

Almost 1 week left!

Next week are exams, then it's Christmas break! Tomorrow is volleyball and basketball games at Sports of All Sorts in Florence,KY. If some of you are able to make it, that would be awesome! Sunday is my church's Christmas program. Then next week is the ACA Junior High and Elementary program! There's a lot going on. I'm excited about going Christmas shopping and opening presents! It'll be over before you know it! So you better enjoy it now even if it gets busy! Well, I'm on the pathway to braindeadness (lol) so that's all for now!!!!

The holidays are almost here!

Hello everyone! Guess what? Thanksgiving is next week! I love the holiday atmosphere. It's kind of like a "wow" moment when you think that next week is when we cook all the awesome food and some families visit with their relatives. My family is going to be traveling to North Carolina. I'm excited about it. We have awesome families on both sides, my mom's and dad's. I'm also excited about a school break! Right now I'm feeling a little overwhelmed with the work. I'm behind in a book that we have to read for English. I also had a test today in Anatomy and that's not my best subject. O well. Anyways, I need to get off and go home and start homework!

Some photos from MI weekend

So anyways, a quick update. Saturday, I went with Quint and his brother Adam to Delaware, Ohio for a fish fry. It was a rainy, foggy, and cloudy day. Pretty neat though. Neat except for the thunderstorm. That night at my house, I was in my room with homework setting out on my lap, and I heard a boom. I didn't know it was raining so it kind of scared me. I realized sometime later that it was thunder. Well, before the storm happened, (I'm getting ahead of myself) we came back from up near Columbus and we went out to eat with my family at Germantown. It's a pizza type restaraunt. We went through downtown Cincinnati on the way back home. Such an awesome day!
This week I have 2 and half extra days of school off!!!!!!!! YAY!
This weekend, starting Thursday night, my family and I are going to MI! I have some of the most awesome friends there that I'm dying I will be able to see! Anyways, I'm kind of happy right now, so if this post seems too jumbled up, you'll know why.
Later!

Hey! :)

I know I say this about every time now that I post, but, I know it's been forever! I'm not sure where to really begin. The last time I posted, I was in IN and it was still summer. School started about a week or two after then. I started the 11th grade! Can't believe I'm getting this old! My class is really small, but we're probably the best:) There's eight of us, three boys and five girls. It's so cute because we all have our own little personalities. Anyways, this year I'm taking Geometry, Anatomy and Physiology, American History, Bible, English 3, Choir, Band, Computer, and PE.
September 11, I turned 17 years old! I felt a little different. It's weird that 18 is next. I went to school, went to lunch and they sang Happy Birthday to me. Then right after lunch is geometry and stupid me, I let them know it was my birthday. So guess what? They sang to me again! My birthday was on a Friday. That night, I went to the Cheesecake Factory with Kimberlee Russell and Esther Byer. We also did a little bit of shopping. Then Quint came and spent the rest of the evening with us back at my house. He gave me the cutest pink Aeropostale hoody along with a pink Aeropostale shirt.
Well, I'm going to quit so you guys don't quit on me :)
Later ~Katrin

Remus Camp '09

Instead of writing a long post, I decided to use some pics from Remus Camp in Michigan. Hope you enjoyed!

My work out vacation!!

Well guess what!! I'm finally thinking, "well you know what? I think I'd better post on here before the whole world starts neglecting my blog!"
I'm not sure where to start! My dad got back from Ireland safely and with lots of suveneiors! He had seen and done so much that he talked alot after he got back!
On June 5th Malcom and Alisa got married! (For some of you who don't know them, Alisa's my cousin) They were married somewhere near Lexington, Kentucky.
They were such a cute couple. :) I had the funnest time getting ready for that wedding. I ended up doing a lot of the brides maid's and flower girl's hair, so I was doing tons of curling the hair, and burning myself a couple times on the curling irons, and arranging baby's breath and roses in their hair! And I also enjoy rushing around in a hury! (I know, I'm weird)
On June 7th (that Sunday), Alisa's brother, Andrew and his fiance Morgan were married that day! I wasn't in such a rush at their wedding. Adam came along with us, which made it sooo much better!

Monday on the 8th of June, I left for Alabama Youth Camp in Pell City, Alabama! The Burlington church let me go with their youth group. We had such a great time! My team came in second at camp! We were the NINERS led by Tim Mackcen!

I came back home that week, and I helped my family do VBS at my church.
Then the next week, I went calling for the Burlington Church's VBS. I also went a couple nights to that one.

Then this week, I'm on vacation in Maryland and Washington DC!!
We are staying with family then going back and forth to DC. Today was our first day downtown DC. I got to see the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Memorial, Capital building, The White House, and lost more!!!!!!!!!

Well, hope your summer's going well!

Hello!! I'll be surprised if anyone will even read this post since I've taken so long to post. lol :) Just kidding. Everytime I've tried to post again, something would come up and I would have to stop.
My cousin Olivia went from high school to collage this past Friday. We were there for it at her school. It was in Indiana at Southport High School. She prayed at the begining of the ceremony and led the pladge of alligance. She did an awesome job. We stayed over there for a couple nights with my grandparents and left on Saturday. Yesterday (Memorial Day), I did school while Adam helped Zach and Caroline put up our pool. We were going to go to a Youth Symphony concert but it ended up raining so we just stayed home and did whatever we felt like. lol I work off and on the rest of the day. Well, my times up so I'd better quit.
Have a good summer!

P.S. please pray for my dad while he's in Northern Ireland and coming home Thursday!

Thought I'd share this with you!

I thought this picture was so neat! It's of my cousin and her husband that got married almost a year ago in Iowa.

My week!

This past week was such a crazy week but fun at the same time! First there was IHC all three days. Then on Friday there was VIP day. Lorna came over for it (along with her brother) and we went all the way up to Carew Tower and enjoyed and awesome That's Amore` banquet, and the weather was amazing that day! It was so pretty. Well, I hope you enjoyed the pictures. I would try to write more, but I'm running out of time! Have a great week!

Easter morning, my cousin Amy Cannon had her 4th son! Here are some pictures! They're pretty cute too!

sickness, tour, hanging out with bf, and so on...

Spring tour ended Tuesday! I traveled with the SWSE from GBS on the 2009 tour! We went all the way out to Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Indiana! lol The west actually had snow while we were there. Kansas had quite a bit. I've gotten used to not having snow here in Cincy, so when we were out there, I wasn't too happy about it. I guess I should have been thankfull for it. So I'm thankfull for the snow that I saw that I may not see for a long time!
We did some fun things on Monday while we were in MO. We got to go to Lambert's Cafe, and got to do some shopping at an outside mall by the lake in Branson. It was so neat! Too bad I can't put some pictures on here from it.
By the time Mon. night came, I was feeling quite yuk. I thought I was probably getting sick. By Tues. morning, I didn't feel much better. Adam came back on Tues. and I got to see him that night! But I didn't get over my flu. I think my fever might almost be gone, but without taking medicine my throat will ache real bad! Just please pray I don't have strep throat!!!! AGH!!!! Well, anyways, I feel like this post is awful and I've got to head home! So long!!!
