WEDDING!!!!

Ok, so I meant to post this last week, but never actually got around to it...
July 30, 2011 5:00 pm
T and C got married today. It was at outside wedding, and it was in the 80's and sunny, so it was hot. Abi was flower-girl and kowen was ring barer and they were sooo cute! Abi didn't know flowers would already be lining the isle so she started crying and saying, "I dropped them!" she even tried to pick them up hahahaha! Then kowen was crying because his grandma brought him chocolate to keep him quiet and, (of course), it melted, so he was upset about that.
the serimony was good though. I thought T was going to cry, but he didn't. The bride's-maid's dresses were apparently black with white mixed in. I was sitting by dad, so didn't get details about what was going on. C didn't cry either. We're waiting for the guys to get ready so we can go to the reception.
I did bring Bilko to the wedding, but I'm leaving him home for the reception. (although, I could probably get out of dancing if I brought him... lol.) I'm not a huge dancer, and I haven't been to a wedding since before Nick and I broke up and he was with me, so I'm trying not to be moody. I have to be happy... I'm still young and God will send the right person my way in his own time.
Ok, dad's yelling for me to get ready (which I am so he needs to shut it), and mom and B are arguing and ticking me off, so I need to go. tell more after reception.
11:32 pm The reception was fun. We all sat around and talked until the bridle party got there and they entered, D and A (best man and maid of honor), gave toasts. We then ate and it was Italian Chicken breast, (delicious!), garlic mashed potatoes (also very good), green beans, (good), and fetechini alphrado, (nothing special.) The cake was half white half chocolate with some kind of strawberry filling. WONDERFUL AND I WANT MORE! lol
Then the dances started, and for the life of me I can't tell you what their first dance was! :( The father daughter dance was, "I Loved Her First." I ended up talking to a friend, who I haven't seen in years, and we kind of just sat there for most of the night because the DJ KEPT PLAYING SLOW SONGS! Those are great and all, but I actually wanted to dance! That's weird, because I'm not usually a dancer. I'm not any good at it, so I'll mostly only dance with a lot of people on the floor so I don't stick out as much, or with family and friends around me. Finally they started playing faster songs, but I didn't want to dance until the "Chacha Slide" came on, and I made my friend go out with me to dance it. We danced off and on throughout the night after that, but a lot of the time not many, if any, people were dancing, so we didn't want to without other people. Eventually I ended up dancing when we were getting ready to leave, because Brian asked me to dance, and then (for shits and giggles), I asked R S (my friend's dad), and we danced. Honestly, I didn't think he would... Then B was dragged on to the floor by Aunt M, (put up to it by dad), and he sort of danced for a couple songs before leaving the floor again. The last song we danced to was The "Y-M-C-A." I ended up dancing with C's mom for a bit and then she got Walker because I told her too and we danced the YMCA.
We went to taco bell afterwords because mom and I were hungry and so was Walker and Bee'
Well, I'm tired so night all! I'll post this in the morning on blogger, (edited to not use actual names.)

Confirming Family

Ok, really corny title, I know, I c9ouldn't think of anything better! lol
My brother got confirmed today. O and for some reason whenever I say that people ask if we're catholic. Nope, Lutheran, not that it matters really. Anyway... He ended up chosing to memorize Mark 12 30: Love the Lord with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. (that's actually a song. Maybe I'll link to it later...) I liked how my brother summarized it. He said something about how God should be first in our lives and he shouldn't take a back seat to anything. The service was good, but I'll save you all from bordum by not going in to detail. hehe. O and my brother was one of person that had his verse memorized, I don't know if the other 3 did, but they were aloud to use the bulletin, so what was the point? O well I guess they still had to look up the verse that was meaningful to them.

After church mostly all of our family came to our house and we had a party down by "the cabbin" which is basically a little cabbin in the woods that my dad built with help from family and friends. Its really fun to just go down there and its like your away from civilization for awhile even though you can hear cars and stuff. It was fun. We had a camp fire and roasted marshmallows for smores. Anybody ever had coconut marshmallows? I hadn't until my mom baught them for the party. They're good, but I'd rather have regular. They toast better. My aunt made hobo baked beans, grandma made potato salad, and mom made shredded chicken, and what she calls "peach dump cake." Its really really good! I may post the recipe later if anybody wants it.

Bilko was out of harness for awhile during the party, but I couldn't let him off leash to run with the 3 other labs and our poodle because there was a river near by and every dog was getting reeaally dirty and wet haha! Plus there's no fence and sometimes the dogs can be rough. He did get to say hi to them when they came by though, and to my family members. I harnessed him when we were eating, just because it was easier than having to deal with him spinning around to say hi to the other dogs and eat too! lol
I got a couple book recomendations from my cousin too so I'll be checking those out.
hmmm...
Outa things to say...
TTYL

IDK what to call this...

So, my brother is getting confermed on Sunday, and has to have a verse from the Bible memorized to say in front of the congragation. He also has to be able to talk a little about why he picked that verse and what it means to him. He doesn't want to do it AT ALL. (screen readers: at all is in all caps) He was supposed to be looking one up last night, but I don't think he actually got anywhere, so tonight he said he was doing Hebrews 5 4. I looked it up and this is what it is: "No-one takes this honour upon himself; he must be called by God, just as Aaron was" It's talking about being a priest, and (in my oppinion anyway) doesn't make any sense what so ever when taken out of context. I told him this, and he didn't seem to care that he could make a fool of himself in front of everybody in the congrigation. I tried looking up other verses, but he was so tired from track and baseball practice tonight that he didn't really listen I don't think. I looked up some of the verses from my notes I took during "The Well" Second Corinthians 1, 3-4:
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,

4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.
Kind of long, but not too bad.
I also found Mathew 12, 30: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.
(NIV bible)
I think Mathew 12 30 would be the easiest to memorize in such a short time, but I don't know if he could "BS" something about it. BS in church... somehow I think that's a bad idea!
Ok, I know I wasn't all that interested in memorizing verses back then either, (I'm still trying to get in to it actually, but its better), and we didn't have to say anything about the verse we chose, so I chose Psalms 105 verse 119: Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. (I'm pretty sure that's exact... I don't want to look it up and it's been 6 years) And actually my pastor gave it to me and I really liked it so I stuck with it. I know how he feels about not knowing what to choose, but he's going to make himself look bad if he goes up there with no clue what he's doing.
Hmmm... I'm trying to figure out if I'm more worried about him making himself look bad or embarassing me. I feel bad thinking that. Its not about me at all, but I can't help it. I think it's both. Any thoughts? Hey... maybe, since I said I was going to read the bible every day when summer started and I haven't, God is using my brother's disinterest trying to tell me to get my butt in gear!
LOL

Book Recomendation.

So, now that summer's here, I actually have time to read a book for fun without knowing I should be studying. lol
This is the book I finished today. I was actually listening to it while at my brother's track meet. (I just had someone tell me when he was doing something or somebody from our team was lol)

This summary is from the NLS website:

Twisted Creek
Thomas, Jodi. Read by Kristin Allison. Reading time 7 hours 22 minutes.
Suspense
College dropout Allie Daniels inherits a lake property outside Lubbock, Texas, from her previously unknown uncle Jefferson. Allie and her Nana arrive, reopen Jefferson's country store, and meet the neighbors. Meanwhile ATF agent Luke Morgan investigates Jefferson's suspicious death--and falls in love with Allie. Some violence. 2008.

Its actually better than the summary (surprise surprise lol) so if you like these kinds of books check it out and let me know what you think! :)

home again and Silly dogs

Ok, so I'm home at the moment sitting in our den. I came home yesterday morning because my brother (Walker) had a concert last night. He was in the honors band for the middle schools in our district. We went to the concert after hanging out at home and helping watch my cousin's year old daughter. She's sooo cute! At one point she was getting fussy because she was tired, and was just crying no matter what. Once she was walking around and crying and I heard her going toward the stairs so I ran over and grabbed her. (we don't have a baby gate so we just have to watch her.) That's the only good thiing about her crying was I could tell where she was lol!
The concert was good. I liked the songs, and one of Walker's friends sang a solo in the choir so that was cool. O and they had a surprise song and it was "Sing Sing Sing!" (go to my earlier post if you want to listen to a version of it... I'm to lazy to link to it right now haha.) I was excited lol. O and one of the songs I heard bass claranettes! I don't remember there being bass claranettes in middle school, but I guess there are. they sounded like Contra basses... IDK.

So this morning at 7:30 I was woken up by my grandma's dog, Ebony, coming in my room. She is staying with us for a week while grandma is in Florida, (Lucky!) Well Ebony came in and got Bilko up andd they went out and started running around the living room. Grumbling, I got up to get Bilko so when Hope (standard poodle) started barking everyone else wouldn't be woken up. Mostly Walker because everyone else was awake. I brought Bilko in my room again and closed the door. I layed back down, but sombody kept nosing me and pawing me. Fine. I'm up! I'm up!
I took Bilko out and fed him, then went back to bed. A few minutes later my dad came in and had all the dogs (Bilko, Ebony, and Hope) get up on my bed and lay down. He then went and got the camera and took a picture. I bet its cute, and if I can get the picture on my computer I'll try and load it on here. We then got all of them on my brother's bed and took a picture. I was cold, so I went back to lay down in my nice warm bed. I'd given up on sleep by now haha! My brother came in and Bilko climbed back up on my bed and Walker took tons of random pictures of God only know what and saved them on my phone. Great... Waste of memory. O well...

Well gotta get ready for church here soon. Hope you enjoyed my ramblings. :)
