The blog of Kate Elisabeth in the big city!

2011-09-01T11:12:00.001-07:00

Ok so I found out that my blog is going to stay normal! :)

College has begun!

2011-08-22T12:01:00.000-07:00

Today was my first day of college classes! Sadly, not everyday of college is going to feel like the first day. :( I'm sure there will be days that I feel so overwhelmed I'll be asking myself "Why am I here?" lol But, from now on probably, my blog is going to be used for English. So, if you read my blog and one day decided to find out what's going on in my life, you might stumble upon an argument I've posted or something like that. That's because nothing else right now is going on in my life but school!!!! Not really, but pretty much. lol Well...for now, have an awesome life! :)

My important message to bloggers...and readers of blogger.

2011-08-08T17:06:00.000-07:00

Instead of going into details and an explanation, I will just say this...I WANT TO GO TO KANSAS!!

The Wild West!

2011-07-18T11:30:00.000-07:00

On our way to camp, we took some time and toured a very little of the enormous amount of damage that took place in Joplin, MO. We know a couple people whose homes were destroyed that day...so sad.

This past week me and my family traveled out west to the state of Oklahoma where the great youth camp of Ochelata took place! It was a blast and I would love to go back very soon!! After camp, we took part of a day to enjoy Silver Dollar City in Branson, MO. That also was a blast! I didn't take very many pictures but it's not like a took none at all! :)

Summer Has Finally Arrived!

2011-06-21T13:40:00.001-07:00

Like always, I'm behind on blogging...lol So far summer has given me job applications, camp experience, and much more adventures that I wonder what life would be like without! I still have a little over a month left to relax before I start into the great experience of college in Cincinnati so stay posted for more posts! Until then, enjoy your summer break!

Summer Has Finally Arrived!

The Most Amazing God in the Universe Has Been With Us...

2011-03-07T12:43:00.000-08:00

God helped with the 2011 GBS choir tour tremendously! I wasn't able to tag along until the last weekend but even then when the students were probably about ready to crash and cry because they were losing their voices, God was still interested in coming to us and giving us a glimps of who He is! I felt like I had been through a revival and I was able to be on tour for only a short amount of time! It's amazing how much God can give in a little amount of time! Thank the Lord for His work in my life recently and even before then! :)

Bria :)

2011-03-01T21:41:00.000-08:00

I took some photos of Bria Natterman a while back :) She's a little girl we babysit and we are thankful to God for sending her to us! :)

Friends Forever!! :))

Such a beautiful time of the year in downtown Cincinnati. :) Several of us went ice skating at Fountain Square Friday night and froze ourselves out I'm sure!!! (at least some of us. lol) It was so incredibly busy that we probably waited an hour to get to the tent where we paid and got our skates and then probably another 30 min. cause the zambonie got on the ice to smooth it out. I will say though that it was worth it!! :)

2010-12-06T08:25:00.000-08:00

I absolutely LOVE this time of the year when we have to plan the BIG Christmas production here at GBS! They are expecting 2,000 people over the whole weekend. Hopefully it will be a huge success and that someone will get help spiritually through the acting and songs. If you would like more information about the production or the tickets, go to gbs.edu

Game Night 2010

2010-12-04T10:37:00.000-08:00

Last night was game night here at school. They had a camera set up and we had way too much fun with it! hehe

I'm excited!

2010-11-18T08:06:00.000-08:00

It's almost Thanksgiving!!! :) I'm really excited about the holidays coming up! I'm thankful for so much where do I begin?...

Picnic!

Here's a picture from the school picnic this year. Pamala Stinson, Esther Byer, and I take some time to have fun on the water! :)

Walk-A-Thon 2010!

2010-09-02T07:23:00.000-07:00

Dear blogger readers,
This year my school is putting on a Walk-A-Thon so we can raise money to help with expenses for our school. What happens is we ask people to donate some money for this event. They can donate a $1 per lap or whatever amount of money they would like to give. Once we get some money raised, we take a day off of school and go to a park where we walk 20 laps and enjoy a picnic of food, fellowship, and fun. I would be greatful if someone would like to support me this year. :) It's going to a great cause for a school by the name of Aldersgate Christian Academy. :) It would be greatly appreciated! :) Thanks! Take care and God Bless.

Senior life!

2010-08-27T13:25:00.000-07:00

I've been in school as a Senior now for two weeks!! It's really nice to be a Senior even though you have your rough times. Our class is now one person bigger so that makes nine of us! Our hoodies are going to be amazing! The class colors are black, silver, and purple. My classes are English 4, Bible 4 along with chapel, Economics 1st semester, Marriage and Family next semester, Health, and Chemistry. Today we did a lab in Chemistry and turned out quite interesting. Last year I disected a cat in Anatomy so the lab was far better! Well...I want to say congratulations to all the 2011 high school Seniors out there! It's an awesome life!
~Kate

ESPN

2010-06-24T06:17:00.001-07:00

This is one out of the hundreds of pictures we took while we were on vacation in Florida. Zach wanted dad to stop and check out ESPN. Of course it's no surprise when it's Zach's idea. lol :) It was neat though. I'm glad we stopped. Notice my shirt in this picture. I made it at Downtown Disney. See the ears on the C for Class?

Graduation 2010!

2010-05-19T07:01:00.000-07:00

Graduation was held here at GBS on May 15, 2010. Hope you enjoyed these pics. Thankfully next year it will be me! :)

2010-05-14T11:55:00.000-07:00

School is almost out! May the 25th after my last exam, I'm officially a Senior! :) Right now here at school, campmeeting is going on with several preachers. Some of them are Bro. Pierpoint and Bro. Mark Sankey. Camp has been going awesome so far.
Tomorrow morning is graduation. Some of my friends are turning their tassels and leaving their high school name behind. :( Hopefully I'll be able to be with them sometime in the future. Anyways, have a great day!

I miss summer :(

2010-05-05T07:20:00.000-07:00

Just some pics from last summer. I spent some time with Kyla and some other people. Hope I can do it again this summer!

Such a busy life

2010-04-29T13:53:00.000-07:00

The week is almost over! *sigh of relief* In a way it's not that exciting. In the midst of all the homework, there are moments to enjoy. Yesterday was my momma's birthday! :) She deserved one of the best celebrations you could give her. We went out to eat for supper at the Cheesecake Factory in Kenwood. It was delicious! I got a gigantic cheeseburger along with some awesome fries! They also had one of the most amazing burritos! It was literally probably a foot long of longer. Tonight is a concert/recital going on at school. Our band director (Mr. David Hartkoph) put together an awesome band/orchestra. He combined the Intermediate Band, the High School Band, and the Collage Band on a piece that's awesome! It's going to be so cool. Tomorrow we're having a choir grill out party. That's exciting as well. Then of course life goes on after all of that and doesn't slow down much for a little while. The Seniors at my school only have one day left. :( I'm going to miss them being around. As for us Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen have to go to school till the 25th of May. Well...hope you enjoyed my little update. It might be a while till another one. Have a great day! :)

Spring Picnic

2010-04-21T10:57:00.000-07:00

Ok so I only got 1 picture on my camera from the picninc. O well. I got burned which was cool. I think it was partly wind burn cause it was really windy that day. Anyhoo, the picture was of me and Chelsea.

Games, snow days...

2010-02-11T09:08:00.001-08:00

Hey! How do you guys like my new blog? lol Well...Tuesday and Wednesday I had a snow day! We got probably about a 1 ft. and a fourth! I went to a massive snowball fight at the park on Tues. A bunch of the collage kids were down there and some other people. Then, I went to Eden Park to go sledding! Then Wednesday I didn't go sledding or have a snowball fight. Sometimes I like to stay inside and be warm! lol Anyways, volleyball and basketball tournaments start today. It's volleyball all day today, then basketball tomorrow and probably the last volleyball game tomorrow as well. Hopefully we'll get more snow next week! :)

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

2009-12-30T22:11:00.000-08:00

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

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!

2009-11-17T16:27:00.001-08:00

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!

2009-09-28T14:53:00.000-07:00

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! :)

2009-09-17T16:28:00.000-07:00

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

2009-08-08T14:12:00.000-07:00

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

My work out vacation!!

2009-07-02T17:28:00.000-07:00

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!

2009-05-26T19:44:00.000-07:00

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!
~Katrin

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

Thought I'd share this with you!

My week!

2009-04-20T08:02:00.001-07:00

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!

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

2009-04-03T17:45:00.000-07:00

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!!!

Well, recently I've had a collage banquet and a State Competition. The pics got put on here randomly and I'm not sure how to switch them around. (you would think that after blogging for about 2 years I would know how to do it. lol Slow me.) The banquet was soooo much fun! I wish I could do it again sooner! The man I went with made it so awesome! Then the next morning I got up to load on the bus at 6 something in the morning! :( We were headed to state competition! To make it short, band got 1st place, 24 and full choir got first, Esther and I did a paino duet and got first, I got 1st in my violin solo, Brandon Klotz got 1st in a piano solo, and others got placed it other catagories too. Well, I'm tired and feel like I can't write very well right now so that's all! Have a good day!

So neat!

2009-02-28T17:30:00.000-08:00

I think this picture is sooo neat! l to r. Kaylen Frakenberry, (me),and Kyla Frakenberry. This was probably about 6 or 7 years ago! Now Kaylen's 13, I'm 16, and Kyla's 15! We played in violin recitals. I'm really glad somebody got this pic, cause they don't even have those recitals anymore. Kyla and I go shopping now at the malls by ourselves and Kaylen's getting older too! I love memories! :)

Cry :(

2009-02-19T11:54:00.000-08:00

Here's a more recent picture of us. It was before Valentines Day, but I'll try to get a VD pic on here too sometime later.
He left for the south this morning. I was really sad though. Actually, last night I couldn't say my last goodby because I started crying. O well. I'm sure he'll have a blast! I'll see him in like 11 days! (maybe even sooner!)

We won!!!

2009-02-18T10:16:00.000-08:00

Our Praisers basketball and volleyball teams won the championship games this past week!!! I was really happy about it. :) Well, there's the update!!! So long!

P.S. By Adam! :(

can you guess what I've been up to?

2009-02-10T10:33:00.000-08:00

Here's an update for you precious readers of my blog. I'm not going to write a long, fancy post, but I think this pic pretty much explains at least some of it! lol On Esther's b-day, we went shopping and ate at Chipotle. Well, while were shopping at Gabriel Brothers, we found theses really, dangerous, funky shoes. (go to Esther's blog and she'll explain) I'm the one with the funkiest looking ones becuase they were uglier than the pink and I had my socks on. And Esther's the one with the cute skirt and pretty shoes on. Yes. Have you guessed already? I have had crazy moments since I've updated last! Well, you're probably thinking I have something wrong with me right now so that's all for now! Post soon! JK!!!!!!! lol :p

P.S Go ACA!

Let it Snow! Let it Ice! Let it freeze us all!

2009-01-29T11:20:00.000-08:00

Merry late Christmas! lol Cincinnati's weather has been awesome this week! We have gotten probably 7 in. of snow. (to be honest I'm not really sure how much) lol Plus we have ice on the trees which makes them beautiful! The ACA high school and academy are on their 3rd snow day and collage had 2 snow days! I've had 2 part snow days, but today I finally went back to my full load! Tuesday I went sledding twice with Adam and some other girls from GBS. We had fun! The first time we went there was just snow and it was like you were sledding under the snow instead of on top of it! Then we got the ice after that and we tried to go sledding again. I'm so in the mood to go right now! lol Wednesday, I got up at 11 something in the morning, ate brunch, and Esther came over to do school and whatch a movie. The Great Escape! So sad but the actors can be funny at the same time! Esther and I laughed at a part where a guy had a brief case that he wanted to escape with, and we thought that was about as bad as us wanting to take our purses with us! lol lol :p Aren't we hilarious? You probably would have to watch the movie if you're not sure of what I'm talking about. Well, I'm probably just rambling on about nothing so I'll quit! Got to do English and Speech anyway. FUN FUN FUN!!!! JKJKJKJKJK!!!! lol

Hello! I just decided to put a recent post on here so some of you who don't get to see or hear from me that much can know what I've been up to. My brother, Zachary, had surgury last Friday. He's had a very hard time recovering, but I think the worst is about over. He has a very hard time eating anything becuase his throat from the tonslectemy is swolen and it hurts to get anything down. I'm sure that he would love it if you would pray that he recovers soon! Today, which is Friday!, I'm going to go with Esther to Kenny's b-day party and then hopefully I'll go play some volleyball or something. :) Tomorrow, Kyla and I are going to go shopping at the Florence Mall! And eat lunch together. She's turning 15 years old so she wanted to do something for that. This past week has been mainly my normal life schedule. I've made losts of progress in my Physical Science and Algebra is coming kind of slowly. It'll feel so awesome to have everything done for the summer! (of course that'll be a little while) lol O and by the way... last Saturday, Adam asked me if I wanted to go to the collage banquet with him! Of course I said I did! So, maybe while I'm shopping tomorrow, I can look for that too! Well, that's all for now! Have an awesome and warm weekend!!

Well, since I didn't get any comments on my last post, I'll try again. lol (I guess my blog has become quite boring) Sometimes my writing skills are just plain blah and sometimes my life feels like just plain blah! This week GBS is in revival with Bro. Maloyed. He's done a great job and we've really enjoyed him. Last night I had Teen Power 2 prayer meeting, today I have a violin lesson, I'm also missing choir today, I had creral for breakfast, I'm playing a duet with Rachelle Wolf tonight, tomorrow I have Teen Power, Friday Zachary is have surgury, Saturday we're going to Indiana, and we haven't gotten any amount of snow that they've predicted. Thank you! That's all for now! Katrin

2009-01-07T13:40:00.000-08:00

Well, I decided to post an all written post instead of a picture post this time. My life has consisted of school life and other stuff. I started school on Tuesday and I'm already not so excited about it. :( I started speech this semester so I'm not sure what all I'll have to do with that. Hopefully I won't have to speak in front of anybody but my family. :o It's actually snowing today! It's very pretty. I wish we would just get a bunch of it so we could go sledding and not have to worry too much about school! (this probably is going to sound quite random). O and by the way, my volleyball team won last night! (even though I did quite horrible lots of times) I also got to spend time at Esther's house on Monday after days that we haven't done much together!
Adam redid my blog after the Christmas one, but stupid me, I tried to change my template, and I messed it up after trying that. And...of course I would have no idea how to fix it so I just got one from Pyzam. Anyways, this is my post for 1-7-08. Happy Valentines Day! :) <3

Better pic of me! lol

2009-01-06T13:11:00.001-08:00

I'm not really sure what to post about, so I'll just put another pic of me. :p

2008-12-26T18:29:00.000-08:00

Merry Christmas to all of you who are reading this! (even though it's a day late) The 1st picture is of me. lol I'm at my cousin Liv's right now, and she was just playing on her laptop, and so some of the time I was taking pics of myself. I edited that one so I decided to put it on here. The 2nd pic if from Thanksgiving here in Indy. We were downtown Indianapolis and got this pic at the mall.

My Christmas update!

2008-12-19T16:20:00.000-08:00

Aren't you people happy with me? I'm updateing! Well, my break is almost here! Just one more subject in school to finish and I'm done! And guess what that subjust might be? It's Physical Science! :( Not the most interesting subject on earth that's for sure. Monday night Adam, Caroline, Zach, my dad, and I went to the zoo for the Festival of Lights! We had a good time. Adam took all of us, except for my dad because he didn't want to go, to a 4-d movie of part of the Polar Express. It was soo cool! You could even smell and feel. Very cool. There was one part were it was like you were on a rollercoaster! I wish it was a real one too! Anyways, on Tuesday, Adam came over for supper and we opened gifts! He gave me some really really cute pair of shoes and a really really cute coat for Christmas! Adam is also turning 19 years old on Monday! Happy Birthday! Wednesday, he left. :( Esther came over to do Algebra and I did some school too. Thurday, I went with my mom to clean and went to Teen Power that night. We read the Christmas story in the dark and had a craft party. Today, which is Friday, we went to the mall so my parents could get a deal on some things at Macy's. For some reason I wasn't much in the mood to do lots of shopping. I think it was the rain. I did get my brother a Christmas gift though. Finally. Tomorrow I supposed to do something with some kids from Teen Power. We're going to go ride cariage rides and hopefully go see the train display. Well, I'll try to update again soon! Have an awesome Christmas!

Staff and Faculty Christmas Dinner '08

2008-12-12T12:15:00.000-08:00

*Esther and I*
*Alicia, Esther and I*
Wednesday night was the staff and faculty Christmas dinner at Higher Ground Conference Center. The place is so pretty at Christmas time. I wish I had pictures of it. :( The food was awesome (too awesome I'm afraid). For desert I got apple dumplings with two scoops of cinnamon ice cream!!! Actually, I couldn't eat it all so that was good I guess. The did some kind of singing olympics and some tables had to act out a Christmas song. Thankfully my table didn't have too. Zach's table had to do All I Want For Christmas I My Two Front Teeth. The little girl that was sitting at that table had her two front teeth missing so it was perfect! (they just let her do all the work pretty much) lol The last song was a tie breaker and the song was Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer. :p We have so much fun at that party! Anyways, there are two pics from the party so enjoy them even though you don't get to see too much of the party! Merry Christmas!

Cincinnati!!!

2008-12-05T11:32:00.001-08:00

A couple weeks ago, I went with my friend Lorna her brother and one of his friends out to eat at Jonny Rockets and then we went downtown and up on Carew Tower. (it's the tallest skyscraper in Cincinnati). It was even snowing while we were up there! Enjoy the pictures!

Happy Thanksgiving!

2008-11-27T12:54:00.000-08:00

Happy Thanksgiving to everybody! We traveled to Indiana today and going back tomorrow. The only problem is, I got sick over night :( O well. I ate and was actually hungary for it. Hopefully I'll feel better. Well, I'm not sure what to really post about so I'll just leave it like this!

A BIG thankyou!!!

2008-11-24T10:24:00.001-08:00

This is just a little post to thank Adam for the awesome job he did with my blog! I thought that summer was close to being over and decided to change it. lol And he decided to help me! ;) I think it looks really good! Thanks again!

So, here are the pictures!!!

Here's a post for you Esther!! lol

2008-10-27T06:06:00.000-07:00

Well...............hello again! How are you doing today? I'm very very tired but besides that, I'm doing great! I know....it's been taking me a long time to post again but I'm doing it now so yay! You can be happy again! Let's see so this past weekend was Youth Challenge. I went on Friday night and it was alot of fun! Lorna, Kyla, and me were so hiper it wasn't even funny. Well actually it was but we were just way to loud it was soo much fun! Anyways, the Convention was really really good. Yesterday on Sunday, Esther and I traveled with the collage band all the way to St. Marys, OH and Decatur, IN. I was and am soo tired! In morning service though was not so good for me. Well, when I was trying to tune, I couldn't get it on the perfect and right pitch and it was taking me forever, so I decided that it was close enough and I would just go up and play. Well, I was out of tune almost the whole time! ERRRR!!! Then everything else started to go wrong. ERRRRR AGAIN!!!!! O well. The night service went better for me. Thankfully. Anyways, I better go and get some of my studies done so have a wonderful cold day!!!!

2008-10-16T13:23:00.000-07:00

Happy Thursday to everybody!! I decided to post. lol Well..............I'm not sure where to start. This week has been mainly school and normal life. This past weekend was homecoming 2008!! It's where (for some of you who don't know what it is) alumni from GBS come back home and we celebrate. First, there's a concert. I played in band and sang in the choir. We had some really neat songs this year in choir. Then after the concert you can either go to a reception or go to the homefest. Obviously I chose to go to where all the partying us!!!! Homefest has booths in the school's gym and they sell food for their class or department. This year they had some cool booths like,,, the high school Senoirs had a construction site that was the future place of the pizza palace and they sold pizza, the high school freshmen had a diner which was totally awesome!! I think they should've gotten first place. Anyways, that's just a very few of them. It was fun. Very HOT but fun!!! Tomorrow I hopefully will be going shopping with Lorna!!! I'm excited!!!! (of course!! lol) When am I never excited about going to the mall? :) lol Well, have an awesome week!! O and feel free to leave me alot of comments!!

A RECENT POST!!!!!!!!!!!

2008-09-22T12:13:00.001-07:00

Hello!! Sorry it's taking me forever to get an update. It's probably going to be a short one but o well. Let's see..................I turned *16* years old on September the 11 and had a great one! I got lots of stuff like, tons of purses, gift cards, a Bengals hoodie, and lots of other stuff. I even got hot pink roses from my parents, and a red digital camera from my grandparents!! It's really cool. On the Sunday after my b-day, Cincinnati had a hurricane!!! lol Well, it was like hurricane winds. Part of the tree in our backyard got blown over, our roof got damaged and our power went out. Only for a short time though. So, school was out all week because of the electricity but now we're all back to normal life! Tomorrow is a picnic so I need to go get school done! Have a great week!

just some more photos from the wedding that my cousin sent me (don't you just love this long title?)

The rest of the pictures are from camp. It was really fun. (even though I was only there for a couple nights and two days) The Demints came with Adam to camp for a little bit which was really fun!

2008-08-03T17:59:00.000-07:00

Hey everybody! Sorry it's been a while since I've posted. I'm leaving tomorrow for NC and TN! Hopefully on Friday we'll go to Dollywood! I'm really excited about it! Pray that I'll get brave and go on an even bigger roller coaster this time! I think I'd enjoy it! I just wish I could go with my friends! It would be a blast! O well. My family's great too! lol A week ago my family was in Michigan for camp! It was really fun! The weather was awesome compared to here. It was hardly ever humid if not at all. Then we get towards home and it almost feels like you're stepping into an oven. The weather wasn't the best part about camp though. I suprisingly did pretty well with softball. I even played in the stars and stiffs game. There were two other girls on the team. The stiffs beat us though. :( We're still good anyways. lol I also made some really cool friends! Amanda Newport, Elizabeth Forsee,Leana, and Elizabeth Dercheid. Well, hope you liked my post! Have a great rest of the summer!

Hey! I'm finally writing a post instead of using pictures! On thursday we traveled to Southport,IN to my grandparents house for the 4th of July. On friday, we went to the childrens museum because my little sister hadn't been since she was very little or mabe not even born. Anyways, we spent FOREVER over there and then that night we went to downtown Indianapolis to see fireworks! They were good, but not as good as Cincinnati for labor day! Then today we traveled back home! Hopefully later on in the summer we'll be going to Dollywood in Tennessee! So exciting! Well, hope you loved my short little post! lol

Congrats!!!

Yes and update! I know Esther. I think I was getting pretty tired of those pics too! Well, if you read my title for this post, you can already tell that we've been pretty busy around here! First, we had company in for my cousin's(Alisa Street) graduation. It'll be sad not having her here anymore :( Then my dad's friend came and visited us the week after that and while he was here he invited us to come to Colorado next summer!!! I was so excited! It looks like we may go! On Friday my family traveled to Indiana and we picked up our grandparents and then headed off to Iowa! The wedding was really pretty and happy! The bride was also very very pretty!! Hopefully I'll get some pics on here of it. Well, my grandparents and my great aunt and uncle are coming tomorrow!! O and I forgot, yesterday we went to the zoo. It was sort of ok. The problem was is I saw a dead mouse and a turtle or some kind of animal was trying to eat it! DUSGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, I'll go before I have some more disgusting stories to tell!!! Have a great day!

Well, I think it's time for an update. This week is going to be so busy very soon!!! Yesterday, Lorna and I went to Kenwood Mall and did some shopping! I got myself another purse (won't say how much though!!! lol) and an Aeropostale deal! It looked like we weren't going to be able to go shopping last night whatsoever but then it worked out and we were able to do it! Today, I had a long band rehersal for our concert tonight! We are doing so really cool songs! Like the Wizard of Oz and some really cool other ones. Well, I need to go get busy!!! I really want to put some pics of the concert on here so hopefully I will! Have a good day!

Us on Carew Tower on VIP Day

choir services and crazy shopping experiences

2008-05-05T14:00:00.000-07:00

Yesterday ACA high school went on their first PR services this year! It was fun and it was even better when God was with us and we were able to worship him. The day before that which would have Saturday, Esther and I went shopping again! And the day before that, we went to a youth meeting at Laura Tyler's house in Kentucky. We were tremendously hieper!!!!!! I can't say much about some people that were crazy too because I didn't help much either. lol :) We just had fun laughing and not being our mature selves. After the youth meeting Esther, Ezra, and I went to Walmart. Me and Esther were in the craziest moods still!!! Or mabe it was just Esther and I was playing along. (go to estherbyer.blogspot.com and see some pics) We ended up in the toy section where we were interviewing stuffed animals. She got them on video but one she accidently deleted and the other ones she didn't put on thankfully. :) Esther even started to kiss Mickey Mouse so I could get a pic, then these people walked by the isle and look at us like we were from MARS!!! Then she got embarrased and walked away really fast! That's where the interviewing comes in. lol Well, today has been mostly a freezing morning, school, choir, lunch, more school, alergies or a cold, and violin practice. So that's all for now!!! ~KC

My "twin" ( my friend)was there that I wasn't sure when I was going to see her again! On Friday, I was a Very Important Person! lol Known as VIP Day. We got to play volleyball, take a tour on campus, and even go to the top of Carew Tower!!!! Saturday night my family, relatives, and Adam, went to the Collingsworth Video Shoot! It was very cool! This week has been school and playing and hanging out with friends. (don't forget band lol) Well,I hope this post seems longer to you than it really is! lol Have a great day! ~KC :)
