Procrastination gets the better of me.

Ok so I had a ten pager do on Tuesday and I just finished it today 30mins before class. I was up till 4:00 last night trying to finish it all, but didnt quite get it done, so this morning I woke up and skipped chapel to finish it. I talked to my ARA last night about the whole situation and she said that with the class I was in because I didnt turn it in on time I would get a zero on it and probably fail the class. So I went into class today to talk to her and ask if she could grade it even though it would not count, but when I got to class she asked for any late papers and said that she was feeling merciful. So the paper aint the best but at least it is in and not finished. So I have learned with God's grace that I need to kick me butt into gear and not be late for anything else.

Ok the school takes pictures at almost every event that goes on here and I was looking at a few of the albums and found myself in them which is kinda scary but oh well. I thought I would make it a game to see how many people could find me in the albums. It will be fun and you don't have to do it because I really dont care if you do or not. Here is the link at which you will find the albums. I have a list of the few albums I am in and I want you to find out how many pictures in total I am in. Have fun and i hope you enjoy looking at what fun we have here at the forge.

2nd JBQ Match

This past Saturday Caleb and Joshua had their 2nd JBQ Match and they did a lot better than the last match. Caleb had 540 points with 4 quiz-outs, and Josh got 120 points. The team came in 9th last match but this time came in 8th. Way to move up guys. Here are a few pictures of the day.

Me and Caleb walking to the car. It is a really bad picture but I kinda like it. When I took the picture I held the camera upside-down, so that's why it looks a little bad. Me and Josh. It looks like I am trying to kill him but this was the only way to get a picture with this guy.

Here's the team. Starting in the front its Caleb, Mike, Josh, then Coach Ruth, Assistant Frank, and the last team member Ashleigh. And then of course theirs my dad in the back being his normal self, picking on one of the kids.Here is the top 9 (the one kid had to leave so she couldn't be up there).
Caleb got 7th place in individual scores. When they were mentioning the top kids Caleb became really antsy and wanted to run up there because he knew he was in the top but didn't know where. We are so proud of him for getting in the top 10.

The New President is ..............

Ok I am not to happy about this but there is nothing I can do but pray. Obama is going to be our new president. I can't believe it but its true. I really don't know what I truly think about it all but I am just a new voter and havn't been following the election much. I didn't get to put my vote in because they didn't get me my absentee ballet. The on going joke her is that me and a bunch of friends are going to move to Egypt and get out of this country. So this is just my little update about the election and a few of my feelings at this moment.

Coming in the near future

So I have been really busy the past few weeks so I haven't really had a chance to write anything good on here. I am really sorry that this blog has been boring but as I said I have been very busy. So I plan to have a little update about how things have been and how I've been doing. I also have just a few photos I haven't got a chance to put on here yet. Just to let you all know that I have been ok and not much has really happened in my life.
Its pretty much been the same old boring stuff that has happened. There are just a few things that I want to mention that you all can pray for. I have a friend that has been going through a lot of bad things at her work and is having a problem with a things in her life. All that i ask is that you pray for her that God will give her the strength to get through this troubling time and that God will help her notice what is wrong and what she has to do to fix it. There is also another friend that is dealing with what she should do with her life and where God is leading her. She feels God pulling her to go in a directions but she doesn't know how she is going to get there. So if you can pray that God gives her a clear direction as to what he wants her to do. And this past Sunday my other dear friend lost her grandma. So she has been home this week hanging with her family. So just pray for the whole family in this time of sorrow. I love all of my friends and I hate seeing them in trouble and dealing with hard times.
