My Next Essay

Ok y'all. So I am kind of excited about my next essay that I have to write for my English Composition college class. Ha ha...that sounds really weird...ME being excited about a school assigment. That is way too strange.

Anyways, our next topic for our essay has to be a persuassive essay on a controversial issue. Which means you take a controversial issue...tell what you believe about it...and why you believe it and of course you have to back up your facts so I'm having to do some research. But...I have decided to do mine on Premarital sex and how I believe that it is wrong. I am hoping that whoever reads this essay in my class that it will make an impact on them. So, y'all please pray for me as I write that...that hopefully it will teach someone how truely sinful premartial sex is.

Then after I'm completely done I'll post it so y'all can read it. Thanks so much for your prayers! Please continue praying for me and my situation.

God Bless,

Christine

Mocha Frappuccino

Hyper and driven, you'll take your caffeine any way you can get it. Frappuccinos are good, but you'd probably chew coffee beans in a crunch!

What Flavor Frappuccino Are You?

I have decided to do a blogthings quiz with each entry now to show y'all my results!! make sure you comment and let me know your results.

Needed Prayers

Hey ya'll. Well, this was definately not something that I wanted to type on here...but...I did not pass my Nursing licensure exam. When I found out I was very devestated. Eveidently didn't make as big of an effort as I should have...I don't know for sure what went wrong.

So, y'all please keep me in your prayers. I am able to take it again but I have to wait anywhere from 45 to 90 days. They determine how long I have to wait depending on how I did on the exam. They will be sending me a report in the mail on my strenghts and weaknesses to help me prepare for me take it for my 2nd...and better be LAST time!

If any of y'all know me from church or anything please do NOT make a big deal about it when you see me. Because I am realy emotional about the whole thing and I do not want to cry again.

Talk to y'all later!

God Bless,

Christine

I created a Slide Show! Check it out!

R.I.P. JP

I am dedicating this entry to one of the local volunteer fire fighters...JP. He was with the fire department doing a demonstration in another city and told his fellow firefighters that he did not feel well. He dropped his tools and dropped to the ground. The Doctors were not aware of any health problems going on with J.P. As a matter of fact, he had just recently had a physical to become a permanent firefighter. At the age of 16, J.P. joined our local volunteer fire department with the hopes and dreams of making firefighting his life long career. On Saturday, September 16th, 2006 at the age of 19...J.P. died.

It scares me to think about it...because I myself am 19. He had not even begun to live his life yet. ya know? I had met him one time before and my stepdad knew him.

Much Love,

Christine

9/11 Dedication

I did make my post yesterday about 9/11 so I decided that I'd do it today. I will never forget that day....5 years ago. I was about 14 yrs old and in the 9th grade. We were about to end our spanish class when one of our history teachers comes in and asks our spanish teacher to come in the hallway. All of us students found this quite strange when we saw that he was crying and when our spanish teacher came back into the room...she look very concerned. She didn't tell us why. We left spanish class and went on to history class. When we got there and everyone was settled our history teacher told us what had happened. We were all so shocked. I am so thankful that I did lose anyone on that tragic day.

I always try to never to for granted all the freedoms and liberties that we have in this country.

God Bless America,

Christine

Below I have posted a pic of my cousin and I...he is in the U.S. Army and I am so proud of him. I am glad he has not had to go over seas or anything...

Pizza & Puppies?

Well, Church actually went very well yesterday. The worship was actually pretty good and not any problems with powerpoint at all...thank God! lol It was Sunday School sunday so our head of the Sunday School department had the whole service. It was really nice. She taught a leasson title, "How Can I Be a Hero?" and it was such a good message...anybody can be a hero and not even realize it. There was alot more to it...because Jesus is definately the ultimate hero...but I won't type alot about it...but I'm sure you get the idea.

After church my parents and I went out for lunch to Pizza Hut which is usually where we always go...it was good. It was nice not to have my little brother there for once...I know that sounds mean but I'm sure y'all know what I am saying. But, I went and picked him afterwards from my Grandma's because he left church with her and then we went home.

We chilled out for a while doing not really much of anything and then my aunt, uncle, and their 4 kids (my cousins) came over to see our hunting dogs/puppies and ride 4-wheelers. They had so much fun...and it was soo cute seeing them chase all the puppies. We have a total of about 10 hunting dog/puppies now!! It's crazy!! I'm still trying to keep their names straight...I've almost got them!

Also, I am definately feeling...much...much...much better from the other day...no more cold sypmtoms for me!! :-)

4 more days until the American Idol concert!!!!!!!! I am soooo excited!!!!!

Much Love,

Christine

Football...and washing Cars...yep...

Ok...so I hate titles so I put kind of a stupid one up there ^

Anyways...this morning I had to get up at like 5:40 so we could be ready and leave for my little brothers 1st football game. We had to be there at 7:00 for them to be weighed in or whatever. So we were driving there and took 1 wrong turn but...we still got there on time. The kids actually played pretty good for a 6 & 7 year olds football team. My brother did really good. He was playing on defense. They lost though but still had fun.

Both my brother and I fell asleep on the way home from having to up so early and then we got home we ate lunch. My mom and stepdad took a nap while I did most of my homework and my brother watched some TV. I then studied for nursing licensure exam a little bit and not too long ago my mom and I just came in from washing her car and mine.

My car desperately needed it so it was a good thing we did. Well, I guess I better end here. I need to finish up my English Composition essay that's due on Monday. I'm still trying to think of a title of it. Ya'll leave me some comments!

God Bless,

Christine

Lorrie...heres the pic I was telling you about from Bass Pro:

An update...

ok...so I do owe ya'll an update on how my life has been going this week. Well, I've been pretty much been going to school everyday as usually...I've had a bit more homework this week than I usually do but hey I've gotten it all pretty much done. I had my 1st Bio 101 quiz on Tuesday and my Algebra 2 test yesterday.

I've had some cold symptoms for the past few days which I think I got from walking around Busch Gardens wet all day on Monday. But I've taken some medicine and I'm feeling about 97% better than I did on Wednesday. I felt so stuffed up that I just didn't want to do anything...it's like when you have a headache you want to switch heads with someone...in this case...I wanted to trade noses.

My first narrative essay for English Composition class is due on Monday. It's pretty much finished. After class on monday I think I will post the finished product up her for y'all to read and so you can ell me what y'all think about it. I think it's going to be pretty good for my 1st essay of the year.

What's ahead for my weekend? Nothing going on tonight that I know of...tomorrow is my little brother's first football game and then we made head to our family reunion in NC after that. We haven't decided on that part yet so...we'll see.

I guess that's about it for now. Talk to y'all later!!

Much Love,

Christine

Busch Gardens Fun!

Ok...So I know I told y'all that I would post my pictures and all about my day at Busch Gardens today. Well, I don't think I'm going to be able to put the pictures on today because I can't find my USB cord...but I'll go ahead and tell y'all all about it.

Well, we first got there...and we didn't leave the house early like my aunt wanted to but we still go there a little after 10:00 which is when it opened. First off, we all went to the bathroom...becase we all had to go except Kellie. On my way out I saw Whitney and Melissa in the bathroom and I said hi to them and all that jazz. Then, we started our adventure. My aunt and uncle rode the Locness Monster first. I do not like rollercoasters and Kellie didn't like that particular one so we both sat on a bench a watched out for them riding while we looked at the park map to decide where to go next. From there...we decided to go Alpengheist (sp?) which is another roller coaster. My aunt nor Kellie liked this one...so...I faced my fears and rode it with my uncle. OH MY GOONDESS!! I can't believe I did it. It was the most crazy thing I had ever ridden on in my life. I pretty much had my eyes closed the whole entire time. After I got off they told me...if I rode that one...I couldn't ride any rollercoaster but...I wouldn't. lol We then headed over to the Log Flume which is a ride involving water. So...we all 4 rode that one...and we got a really wet!! Ha ha...so we decided to head over to the ride Escape of Pompeii which also involved water and got only a little bit wet on that one.

Oh...side story...on the Escape of Pompeii there was a little boy sitting infront of me and Kellie and as the car was moving up the hill slowly he turned around and was like, "What's up?" He looked like he was about 12 yrs old or so. Then throughout out the ride he would just look at me every now and then. At the end of the ride when we got off he looked at me and said, "Got a little bit wet didn't ya?" and I was like, "Oh, um yeah." then walked off with everyone else. He was sooo flirting with me but it was soo cute. Anyways, we figured since we were already wet we decided to ride Roman Rapids which we got SOAKED on! So we got all those water rides over with and continued to go and ride other rides. Of course every ride we went on we left our seats wet ha ha...and it was FREEZING COLD whenever we went onto the 4-D rides. I think Curse of the Dark Castle is the BEST 4D ride ever!! I loved it!! We went to 2 other 4D shows and they were ok...but not as good at that one. Um..we rode the Catapult...and a whole bunch of other things I can't even remember. Lunch was expensive...but it was really good. My uncle bought this huge tall piece of cake that we all shared and it was sooooo good!!

So, we walked around wet the whole entired day and we were always seeing some interesting characters. We saw a total of 2 homosexual couples and I'm sure there were more...shirts that said the most interesting things...and of course my "boyfriend" that flirted with me on the Escape of Pompeii. So overall is was a REALLY fun day and I can't wait to go again next year!

I'll try really hard to find my USB cord after school today or after church tonight depending on how much time I have when I get home. Well, I guess that's about it. Better get going so I can study for my BIO 101 quiz.

Much Love,

Christine
