Welp, I haven't talked in here for a longgg time. Life is amazingg still. I love it a whole lott. School is alright. I'm making it. I have all A's and A+'s so thats a good thing. My friends are still my liffe. I love them soo muchh. You know who you are.

My heroes still rock my face off more than anyone cann. I love them like no otherr. They are always here for me... day or night... rain or shine... good times and badd. I love themmm<3

My best friend is Maggiee. I love her to deathh and trust her with my life. Even though our lives have gotten busier and we don't see each other that much anymore, we will still be best friends, no matter what. She rocks my face off<3 I love herrrrrr.

Yesterday we had auditions for "Damn Yankees" at school. I was told by many that i did a really good job... but i am still nervous at whether or not i received a part. We have singing auditions on Thursday, so if that goes well, i could have a part in the musical. I'm really nervous, anxious, and excitedd all at the same time. We'll just have to wait and see...

We are writing a research paper for language. My topic is "Should the words 'under God' remain in the Pledge of Allegiance?" I started out believing it should be. But after doing so much research... well... i've changed my mind. Of course God is number one in my life, and i love Him with all of my heart and soul, and i love being able to say those words in the Pledge. But even though Christianity is the largest and most practiced religion in the US, there are still those who don't believe in Him. Why make them say something that they don't believe in? It's almost like lying... or trying to fool someone. There are so many different religions entering the US that we aren't really "one nation under God" anymore. Its like me living in some other country and them making me say "one nation under Allah". I wouldn't like that. Not at all. Thats how i'm thinking others feel. It just doesn't seem fair. I'm going to take what one of my youth leaders said: "Do we really think that making people say the words "under God" is going to make them more of a believer or not using it is going to make them less of one?" Its true. We can't make them say that. Yet they do have a choice, but don't we want them to feel welcome, like they are home when they live here, and not like outsiders? There's this little thing called freedom of religion...

Welp, i'm going to go now. Mission trip to Adirondack Mountains in New York in July. Cedar Point trip with school in May. Cedar Point trip with DMZ in July. Musical on May 4 and 5. Dauphin Island, Alabama over Spring Break. Excitedd? I thinkk yessss! Much love~

Yeah, so stupid people still make me angry. But I think that I am really taking this too far... its all done with, and i shouldn't be worrying anymore about the crap that happened. Yeah... I'm fine! Its just that even thinking of our relationship ending would absolutely kill me. I cry everytime I think of us not having that relationship anymore. But it isn't going to end, because that is not him, and its not me. We will be absolutely fine. Yepp. I love him to pieces as my brother! Even though some people beg to differ, I know the truth, even if they don't want to hear it. He's my best friend; he's always there for me. I'm fine... yepp just fine. It isn't going to bother me anymore, and I won't let it! RAWR I'm a BOBCAT and I'm strong like that. Yeah so I've got nothing to worry about!

Well, tomorrow is going to be loads of fun! We are going canoeing in the morning for about two hours, and then we are going to Whitmer lake for water fun! haha We will be there all day. Yeah, its gonna be AMAZING (haha... MISSION TRIP...) But we are going with the middle school group, and Maggie can't go, but Laura, Sydney, and... yeah Laura and Sydney are going, so it will still be fun!! And I think that Brad is going too, which will be awesome! Wow... I can't wait. Sydney and Laura and I have some things planned... hahahaha GREAT! Well, I'm gonna go now!

 ~~~Peace out~~~
