Christmas

I got some really great presents this year. The best present I got couldn't be wrapped. It couldn't be shipped to my house or bought with a credit card. The gift actually bought something for me. And that is my eternal salvation. My best present was my savior jesus christ. (in a baby's form.)

I hope you all had a great time and got everything you wanted. Well, most of you know my mom and dad are divorced. So.. I get presents from my dads side, my moms side, plus some. So far i got...

A webcam!

Viva La Juicy Perfume

Justin Bieber CD
And... my northface coat.

plus lots more. Santa was very good to me this year. Paige got a ripstick which is a skate board with two wheels and i tried it out on christmas morning and it went out from underneath me and i landed dead in the street. So now i have a big bloody cut on my leg. :)

Post of what you got!

As all of you know, christmas is... 10 days away! I need to get into the christmas spirt. like badly. So far ive bought alot of christmas presents. lots and lots of em.

Mom- Gps and the office season 2 on dvd

Dad- the digital photo frame thing and a sweater and a devotional. :)

Paige- Nothing so far. just a webkinz.

My cousin Rylee- ohh boy alot. Little Mermaid 2 on dvd, ariel wig, ariel coloring book, a pink lava lamp, and a ariel doll. (We both love the little mermaid)

okay well thats my post for now. peaceee.

Katie and Brandywine Grace. :) :)

So... this was the BEST weekend ever.

On friday I went to a football game with Kevin, Livvy, Jim, Jake, and Sarah. Ridley won 19-10! gett sommee. it was sooo fun. After the game kevin drove me back to the demis and i waited there for like 15 minutes and then katie came and picked me up!! So friday night we didn't go to bed until like 2:30 a.m. so we were really tired.

On saturday we were planning to go to the Brandywine outreach @ coatsville christmas parade but it was CANCELLED! :( so instead we went to becky's bible quiz meet. random. hahaha but it was fun? So saturday morning we woke up and it was SNOWING. so when we were at the bible quiz meet it was snowing harder. and we came home and there was like an inch of snow. or more. we went outside and played in the snow and went on the trampoline. go on picasa or facebook and see my pics/ videos. so it kept coming and coming and the roads were getting bad. That night we werre gonna go to the compass play and i was gonna go home with my mom but we got "snowed in" kind of. well, my sister was REALLY sick so i got to sleep over katies house again!!! So we went to the compass play. it was soo good i loved it. and then we went home and talked for a little and died and went to bed.

On sunday morning we woke up and got ready. i woke up at 7:45... :/. We got dressed and showered and went to brandywine grace! might i just add thats my favorite place. my family and i wanna go there but we need to move first so were just trusting god now. so it looks like im only visiting for now. but... anyway. we went to the BG youth prayer. it was awesome. god was moving in everyones hearts. i loved it. anyway, i sat with kait and kaitlin wallace cause katie mac had to serve. (thats alot of kates.) so we went to service talked after and hung out at the house. Then... i went home. so thanks for reading! :)

Long post= long weekend.

Hello readers,

I had a very fun weekend this week. It started out on thursday. I spent all wednesday well not really just like an hour baking a cake. I was intrested in making cakes and decorating them so i got a fondant recipe (this gooey stuff u put on top of the cake) like the stuff they use in cake boss. best show ever. :)

Let's start off on thursday.... My mom drove me down to my dads and hugged me goodbye (I wouldn't see her for 4 days) and left for the mountains. I brought all my stuff in and got settled. Then, I wrote happy birthday on the cake and decorated it and stuff. I then watched some football games and went on the computer and stuff to pass the time away till we left for my aunt dee's. (denise)

my uncle's cake i made. yumm.

So we went to my aunt dee's at around 5. I drove there! :) stupid gps made me turn the wrong way so i got to do a u-turn. so i got to aunt dee's and there was let me counttt.... 20 something people there. it was SO much fun. I have a little cousin rylee. well, shes my cousins baby so i guess shes my second cousin? but anyway, shes the first great grandchild and we haven't had a baby for like 10 years so she gets spoiled. and we all have this competiton like thing so she gets ALL the presents. (yes, even on thanksgiving) so my dad got her a woopie cushion and boy did we have fun! we got everyone and she just belly laughed it was so fun. shes loves me :)

chirs. :)

Friday was ohh so entertaining and draining...

So, thursday night around 11 p.m., me, my dad, and my cousin chris (14) hopped in the car and went to best buy. We camped out there all night which seemed for forever. We orginially went there for chris' laptop but they sold out SOO fast. my dad was sopissed. but, we weren't gonna leave with nothing since we spent 7 hours there. so we got a $50 digital camera that my dad wanted, hima gps, and my momma a gps. (shhhhh) So we got home around 6 a.m. and since i didn't sleep AT ALL i went home and slept till 12. woke up ate breakfast/ lunch and then around 4 after football we went to the mall. i got rylee (yes another present) an ariel doll cause we LOVE ARIEL! and i got a cute shirt and such.

taking pics at 2 a.m. gotta love black friday

Saturday was kinda boring- we went to the verizon store to get my new phone since the vibrate isn't working and jimmy gemmel BROKE the keys off. so its on its way in the mail. :) then we went out shopping again. hahaha

Sunday- i went to church with my dad and then went home with my mom and we TORE apart my family room cause were getting new carpet. its SOO old. its from like the 70's. :P :P'

Thats my weekend. I recently have an obsession with faceinhole.com and mylifeisaverage.com heres some pics and mlia's.

Today, I was in the parking lot after a hockey game when a girl on my team stepped in front of my car. I stopped, and she climbed on my hood and lay down, pointing in the direction of her car. I drove through the parking lot in reverse and dropped her off while this old guy just stared in disbelief. MLIA
Today, a group of Jehova's Witnesses came to my front door. Being polite, I spoke with them for a few minutes, when suddenly my 4 year old son comes running through the living room. He was wearing his halloween costume from last month, which was a devil. He proceeded to chase the Jehova's Witnesses across my front yard in his devil costume, pitchfork and all. I'm pretending to be mad at my teenage daughter for telling him to do this. MLIA

Need a new posty

So this week has been super boring. but im making a cake for my uncle jacks birthday which is on thanksgiving. its gonna be two layers. one chocolate one vanilla. with vanilla frosting. and fondant on stop. and then im gonna do like decorating on the top.

so.. this weekend-

My moms going up the mountains with her family and my sister. I usually go up there but this year I wanted to stay down here with my dads side so i can go black friday shopping and hang with my cousins. My moms side is fun but theres no kids my age! so thats why i like seeing my cousins at my dads. So i guess the only beauty of my parents not being together is being able to decided where I wanna go for thanksgiving. haha

So friday- BLACK FRIDAY!!!

My cousins chris is sleeping over my grandmoms with me and were going shopping at like 5 in the morning. I wanna go to bestbuy and get my mom a gps. (shhhhh) so we'll see how that goes. im so excited i could scream.

I have no idea what im doing saturday or sunday but ill prolly go to covenant with my dad sunday. not sure. but peace out guys have a happy holiday and ill prolly blog sometimes this weekend down my dads. byeee.

Blogs are fun

I apologize to those of you who enjoy reading my blog. It has been six days since my last confession.. haha jk. i promise im not catholic. but seriously, its been a while. So I'd like to share whats been going on in my life. Well this past week has been crazy. I've been going to the gym and working out. I love it. I hate actually physically getting dressed to go, but I love being there. I also enjoy falling off the tredmill. I did it on monday. I decided that doing my mile jog would be less painful if I closed my eyes... Well, I think we all know how that turned out.

I had no chemistry this week because leo got married! I think im more excited about the no chem then him actually getting married. haha i know, im selfish.

On wednesdays if you all don't know this, I go to my grandmom's church (Grace Bible Fellowship) and go to their youth group. I go to sign language b4 and then i walk up stairs to youth group. It's so much fun. I love how biblical covenants things are but its nice to actually get a little socialization and games in there. So i enjoy going on wednesday to GBF. I also enjoy winning $10 wawa giftcards! They're my favorite. I won some game we were playing and got it! ahhh!

Today was compass and sad to say it was my last of 2009. It makes me really depressed we don't have it for a month. because i hate the work but i love compass days and wawa runs and getting in fights with certain people EVERY WEEK and making jokes and textings during class. (although i nevere do that...) but yeah. its really fun and it has come to a pause. sighh. :(

Tomorrow is friday! and im doing nothing..

Saturday i may or may not go to livs house and see THE BLIND SIDE!! go on youtube and watch the preview for it. It looks so good and im excited to go see it. Me, liv, phoebe, isaac, and ben will prolly see it since everyone else cancelled. so thats what it looks like. Oh and katie said were sleeping over, but as last week, that was a fail attempt... maybe sometimes in like 2047 we'll get around to it...

That's all for now folks...

ew, school again?

I'm getting very frustrated with my paper so I thought I'd go on blogger and post. :)

I'm liking school this year kinda. I have 5 subjects

1. Math- Sped Monday are a favorite. I'm in mrs. demi's class and were basically special ed. she has to reateach lessons all the time. but we all got a's and b's. go figure.
2. Chemistry- is the worst subject of all time. the class itself is fun because we have some of the best memories in it. I will post more on chemistry and math class when i think of the fun times.
3. Sign Language- wed night class. so fun. im getting good except for the fact that I told my teacher I had no one to date instead of saying i have no one to sign to at home.
4. Advanced Writing- is ok. i don't like our current assignment but whatever.
5. History- is boring.

guess what... Cross Culture is in 1 week. and i might go with my friends to see blindside. google it. you'll cry.

thats all for now. so peace out.

Need a new update

So, it has been a crazy week/weekend. I was so excited to plan my weekend revolving around katie mac and bgc. :) but then it all fell through. The plan was to meet at DCCS's play (peter pan) and do a sleepover after it. sat night. then sunday morning id go to church with them and serve. greeting! :) then my mom and paige would come to the service and go over there house for lunch with the demis and blakes. it would be a big happy bg day. butttt. my mom said it was too much driving. (this is the part where teleporting would come in handy..) so we had to cancel. We got to go to the play with them sat night and it was still fun. I knew ALOT of people there and becky and katie decided i didn't. But i did. they were just all behind the scenes on stage crew. They challenged me to find 5 people i knew. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! so other than that we had so much fun.

"Katie what is that?"
"I don't know? I think its a bird?"
"Oh, i think its a flamingo!"
"I don't ever remember that being in the movie..."

best ever.

Then Sunday night my dad randomly called me and was like i got two eagles dallas tickets for tonight if ya wanna go. ohh course!
so i he picked me up at 7 and we went to the game. It was so much fun. I've been to a hundred bagillion phillies and flyers games but never football. My aunt and almost grandmom (shes my cousins other sides grandmom) work there and hooked us up with BOX SEATS! wooott. it was so much fun. :)

I thank god so much that im saved because some of the things i witnessed there last night are so terrible. I just pray for those people. So thats my weekend. Peace out.

The way you make me feel..

So I basically had the best weekend ever. To start it off...

Friday- Went to paiges school's halloween parade. paige was a fortune teller. ;)

THEN... we went to the macdonalds for a harvest party! It was so much fun. My mom made this chicken stuff on these long sticks. the sticks were a bad idea. but they were sooo good. me and becky tried to organize the kids games but it just turned into a major fail. they didn't listen and paige and karis started beating noah up, levi clark was yelling at me, triston lynch decided to play another game and it was total chaos. i screamed as loud as i could and finally got the game together. Then we had an awesome worship around the campfire led by the ruths boys. It was such a fun night! :)

Paige

Saturday- was so much fun. I started the day off being very bored because we got invited to will smith's moms party! (no lie) and my mom didn't wanna go!! I was so mad. i almost met someone famous... Anyway, Liv came and picked me up at the Granite Run Mall and we went to her house for halloween. Talyn and Phoebe were already there so we started making our costumes. Mine was already made but liv and phoebe had to make their signs. So we did that. Oh. btw, we decided to be Dr. Suess people and liv and phoebe were thing one and thing 2 and i was the cat in that hat. we looked adorable i was so proud of us. except for the fact that we got lost in pleasant grove and i ended up with shelby and elizabeth? so random, i know. but after i vented for a little bit, we all came back and were happy. we topped the night off with a phillies game which they lost but it was soo much fun. Liv, Isaac, Phoebe and I all stayed up ill like 2 watching the game and talking. it was so fun. so we went to bed and went to church the next morning.

THE END.

Me, Liv and Phoebe

Best picture of the night.

Best Day.

So today I awoke and hit the snooze alarm. Got ready. Then, I drove to compass! i went to pastors class and writing and then after we all went to chickfila!! yay! haha. and then after all my friends went to math class and i was all alone! and i saw isaac. and i just sat to eat lunch with him. and so he randomly got his phone out and started playing his ringtones. and we found this one that sounded like spy music. so we decided to go down the biology/math class' hallway to spy on them. we went upstairs and down only to find they were on the first floor. we wasted all that spy energy for nothing. BUT we found the classes and then i burst out laughing and we ran away. best ever. thats a fun memory.

At chick-fil-a, i got a balloon. i was so excited cause i wanted one for a long time. hahaha. so i got a yellow one and i named it yalloon. and i went outside to see the firetrucks :) and i came inside with my fire hat on only to find my yalloon missing! IT WAS AN OUTRAGE! so where i left my balloon tied, i found a note. and it read " dear jackie, sorry. i took your balloon! see if you can run me down!- Karis" So i stormed out the church looking for her. only to find her snickering out on the church lawn. well, i got my balloon back and was very dissapointed in the little kiddies helping her out. becky thought it was very funny. it was not.
the letter






i was very mad.

i got it back. at the point, becky was dying laughing.

her evil smile. hahah

P.s. Photo Credit: becky

I TOUCHED JUSTIN BIEBER!

OMG. so you all know q102 the radio show had a contest and ridley won. so justin bieber came and it was AMAZING! I rode my bike there (2.21 miles one way.) so that 4 and a half miles i rode just for justin bieber. So i got there and I again wore the uniform. hahaha. and i just walked in and i was like heyy. haha. so i got in line with all the MILLIONS of girls screaming for him. my ears still hurt. Anyway, so i got in my seat 10 rows away from him. he sang 4 wonderful songs and decided to walk down my isle. SO I GOT TO TOUCH JUSTIN BIEBER!!!! But then the jerk boy behind me stole his friggin hat and the girls pretty much suffocated him and his body guard came and got him. WHILE he was singing. I was so mad at them. Like, come one now, yes hes awesome. but hes not God! ugh. people annoy me. Anyway, I love justin because we have the same initials and because hes so awesome. Then after the concert the teachers yelled at me to get back to class. it was a win day! hahaha

two more weeks.

So, I have less than two weeks to get together a halloween costume. I'm pretty sure liv and phoebe are gonna be thing one and thing two and im gonna be the cat in the hat. Not sure how its going since idk if thats what they're definetly being. I'm excited to get it started. http://www.coolest-homemade-costumes.com/coolest-cat-in-the-hat-with-thing-1-thing-2-costume-15.html Thats a homemade costume that will work for us. Although, hopefully we look more attractive than that...

Justin Beiber is coming to Ridley in 3 days!!! I'm soooo siked. omg.

I'm going up to my mountain house this weekend. I'm super excited. :)

Two more weeks till the new chick-fil-a opens by church so that will be greatly visited by us compass highschoolers. :)

Justin Beiber goes to Ridley

Ok, so for those of you who don't know, Justin Beieber is coming to Ridley in exactly one week! Ridley won a contest on Q102 and hes comin there. So being homeschooled, I can do what I want when I want. So I'm going.

And I had to go buy my $10 ticket today at school. They were being sold at lunch so I timed it to get there in time. The best part about this story is that I wore the school uniform. I do love attention but I didn't want it there. So, I put my mocs, khakis, and colored shirt on and walked into the school. I had a temptation to get my cell out and text cause i felt it vibrate but then i thought "wait, no phones allowed in school. I can't get a detention!" I wonder if homeschoolers can get detention? Anyway...

So I walked down the hall and what do you know that bell goes off. So five million kids rush out of their rooms to get to lunch or class or whatever. So im fitting in with my clothes and I see my friends. and theyre like OMG what r u doing here. and so i got my ticket and just walked around like i owned the place. It was SO FUNNY!

Next friday im going for the concert and I think it will be really funny If i stay for lunch. ;)

JUSTIN! :)

Attention Drivers!

Today, I was driving to the demis for math class. I was about to turn onto five points road off of west chester pike and my dad was like "OH MY GOSSSHHH!" and i was like "WHAT?!" and he was like "i forgot to get gas!" So, as i looked down at my gas meter, it was beyond empty. Ten seconds after he says that, the car starts to shake. then it slows down and my dad says to pull over. So, im right next to the exit for 202 and cars are flying past me. I stop the car and my dad gets in a tries to get it. So, we realized we couldn't make it and were in the middle of west chester pike. So i hop out and PUSH the car as my dad stears. Then i was like dad, i can't wait here for AAA. I need to get to class. (It was 1 p.m!) So, i start walking and might i addd they live like 5 minute drive from west chester pike. So, i started running. and i was like i can't make it. haha. but then i hear this honking and i thought maybe it was like mrs. hayes or adams coming from class and god sent them to me! But, it was better. It was my dad. God started the car and we got to a gas station. And i was only 7 minutes late. What an experience. So, remember, ALWAYS CHECK YOUR GAS METER!

who knows what to title these as anymore.

Tomorrow is national walk to school day. So, in honor of that. I will walk to school. (down my stairs) :)

Not much has been going on. I've had some intresting things but none to share. ;)

Just kinda chillin and doing school work. I'm going up the mountains soon so who knows when that will be.

I'm still deciding on what to be for halloween. It's bothering the crap out of me. But, last year, i decided what to be 2 hours before trick-or-treating time.

ATTENTION: Any junior or senior who would possibly like to go to the Chester County Anual Homeschoolers Prom talk to your parents and get permission. I don't know if were going with dates or groups. We can just go in a group and then like people can get dates for their pictures and stuff. Because basically, I just want a date for pictures to remember and for him to match me. I will have more details to come. Not sure if we're allowing 9th and 10th graders yet?

The weekend

So this has probally been the best weekend ever?

Friday night i made money babysitting.

Saturday morning I went to a funeral. :( Then, I went with abby dawson to meg dalys house and we went to jennys surpirse sweet 16th. which was really sweet. She already knew because someone cough*jimmy*cough told her. But, what ever. It was fun. I went on the trampoline, watched some movies, got pine cones thrown at me, ran into screen doors, and got called a dog. it was fun.

Sunday I went to church then calebs party. Since all the girls love me SOO much, they all had something to do that day. So I was the only girl with 16 guys but it was still fun. :)

what a weekend...

Update

I have not posted in a long time, sorry blog. :( It's been very busy. First off, I got a job at the Y lifeguarding. I taught my first lesson. Minnowfish. They were like 8 and I taught them how to do butterfly, and flip turns. it was super fun.

Compass

I would just love to express my love for Compass. As much as I hate the homework, I love the people and the memories. I recently slept over Katie Mac's house and we were reading her diary and there was memories of compass and one of me. It was funny to think back and remember that time.

So today me and liv went to wawa and then we parked in the last row from church and made it look shady.. under a tree. It was really funny. And she ate her hoagie and we listened to Q102. then these guys from the church came down and were probablly wondering what we were doing in there... Then I forced livvy into letting me drive. Now, This is illegal so don't attempt this at home. But Livvy looks 21... right?

Algebra and Chem

I will tell you about my day yesterday. I woke up and did school. Then i ate lunch around 12. then my dad came and picked me up and took me to Mrs. Demi's for algebra. We are her special ed class because most of us are legit retarted when it comes to understanding math problems. Then I went home, did some more school and ate dinner. and then I DROVE ALL THE WAY TO CHURCH FOR THE FIRST TIME for chemistry class. No one seemed to care when I announced that to the class. And then leo told us funny stories, innapropriate ones, and people farted. It was a good class.

Remember

King -Kilo
Henry - hecto
Died- deca
Unexpedly- meter (unit)
Drinking- deci
Chocolate- centi
Milk- mili

Brandywine Grace (aka the church plant)

So yesterday I went on to Brandywine Grace. It was so much fun! We had hamburgers, hotdogs, pretzels, music and such. There was a moon bounce that I did not go on which made me sad. But then I found Sylvi Lynch and my life was complete again. Mrs. Lynch let me keep her so we walked around and then I brought her into the show. Hip-Hop put on a dunk show with the hair raisers people and did flips and stuff. Jimmy Gemmel got picked to go out and dance and I almost died in my seat from over exaustion of laughing too hard.

That was the bbq, it was fun. But the service was amazing. I forget what Mr. Lynch preeched on because I usually do but it was great whatever it was. And the worship was excellent. I was looking around in the auditiorium and it was incredible how many people I didn't know! Which means they were all guests.. hahaha. yay! But like as soon as I walked in their it kinda felt like home, like I belonged there. And I didn't tell anyone but then my mom came after the bbq and she said the same thing. I wish we could have gone on the plant but we live so far. But who knows what will happen...

So you all might have read Isaac's post but this is my side of the story...

The firealarm: By Jackie Bailey

So earlier that day we were cleaning up after the show and there was a wierd noise. So the janitor went to fix it like an hour later. And while he tried fixing it I was in the auditorium. Katie Mac was playing piano and caleb ruth was on guitar. Isaac and I started singing with them and all you hear is ERRHHH ERHHHH! And since all those kids are homeschooled, they had no idea what was going on so I scream "FIREEE!!!" and me and Isaac jumped off the stage and started running down to safety outside. And I look back and everyone is just casually walking out of the building. Some people *cough katie cough* stayed in there and played piano.

The firetrucks came about 15 minutes later and the alarm was still going off. Thank god there wasn't a real fire because they took their good old time. But anyway my mom pulled in behind the firetrucks and she had no idea what was going on and called my cell freaking out.

So as you can see it was a very crazy day at Brandywine Grace.

The end. :)

New Layout

I really like my new layout. I saw hannah's and clicked on the link of the website. It has bees on it which is really quite funny. I love them. I actually might get sick of them but that won't be for a while...

I am dead. Yes, dead. Yesterday I woke up, ate breakfast, did some school, left my house at 12:30 for mrs. demis algebra 2. came home around 3:00. kate came and picked me up at 3:30. we went to swim team. I was there till my mom came to get me at 5:30 and we drove out to leos chemistry class. So, yesterday I was home for a total of 5 hours.

My swim team practice was very hard. We had dry land which is like sprints, sit ups, planks( you support your body on your elbows) it was terrible. I'm not 100% sure if im doing the ridley high school swimming because its kind of conflicting with my school schedule. I wouldn't get home from away meets till 6 and thats when chem and sign language start. I might just do the RAYS swim team and the YMCA. It might work out a little better even tho id enjoy the high school much much more.

P.S. I GOT A LIFEGUARD JOB AT THE Y.

and now im going to a phillies game with Em, Meg, and Michelle. peace out suckers...

Life as we know it

To keep you all updates, my summer life is over. Now its back to my church/ school life. I've been at church way to many times to count this week. I had the bonfire which was really fun. We were table topping people and rolling down the hills together. Sometimes it got pretty awkward but thats ok. Here is a picture of it...

We all look really bad here. hahaha.

Yesterday was Kevin Aull's birthday party. It was so much fun. We went to the park and just chilled at his house. good times...

Today was the chicken bbq and it was super fun. I loved it. My dad came and he really enjoyed it! So pray that he comes back and maybe does alpha?

Tomorrow I start algebra 2 and chemistry. I not excited for the work but I'm excited for the classes! :)

Today i was recently taking a stroll down memory lane and remembered some of my fun summer memorys and this one came to mind...

This was camping with the Adams, Johanessens, Demis and Kyles. It was the best trip of my life. This was last may in 2008. omg, too many memories to talk about. Swimming in 10 degree water, cliff jumping, getting attacked by bees, campfires, skunks, children getting hurt, and lets not foregt squash the lemon! Goodbye summer!

Chicken BBQ

So, the chicken bbq is coming up. very exciting? We invited our neighbors who have three kids. it should be fun. Also, I invited my dad! He's not a christian but hes one of my favorites. I would love him to be a christian so I could live everyday knowing when we both die, we will be in eternal life together. So please pray that he likes our church and gets saved. I was going to do alpha with him but I have sign language on wendesdays. So that wouldnt work out. Let me know some other suggestions? ... PLEASE PRAY! I need you guys. Thanks. :)

Summer is over? Since when?

Sad to report, summer is over. I only have history cause my classes don't start till tomorrow and next monday. :) But I can't believe its over. And hands down it was my favorite one ever. I applied to the Y since my summer pool closed and he said they have open spots! (this is the part where you say yay...)

I've decided I'd like to try the swim team. I might do fall warm ups which is a program at the Y to get you ready for winter swimming. For all you unknowledged non-swimmers... summer swimming and winter swimming are completly diffrent. I've only done summer and im going to try to do winter.

Summer Swimming- Sprints, Easy, fun, early morning practices, and meets on saturdays.

Winter Swimming- Long Distance, very hard, very competitive, practice every day after school and meets during the week.

Please pray that I make the team if they have cuts this year. I think it would be a great experience. :)

Summers almost over and then school comes along..

Ok, please don't even say it. Summer is coming to an end. No more late nights, sleepovers, tans, and lifeguards. :( I am NOT looking forward to school. I'm a junior this year and im taking every single one of my classes outside of my home except for history.

History- Lifepac
Chemistry- Leo's class at church on monday nights
Algebra 2- @ the demi's house on mondays
Sign Language- Wednesday nights at my grandmom's church.
Writing- Advanced Writing on thursdays at compass.

It should be a good year. I'm not gonna lie, but I did miss compass this summer. I had a WONDERFUL summer, but compass was dearly missed. So that just sums up my school segment. Now on to working.

So, as of now, i only have 3 more days of work. :( Today, Saturday, and Monday. It's very depressing. And because my pool isn't open in the summer, I can't work there. Go figure... So, i might be applying to the Y (as much as I hate indoor pools and Y's..) I need the money. So I'll have to suck it up. IF that isn't my calling, im going to apply to the Springfield Healthplex which is this really expensive gym thing with a pool for me to lifeguard at. Hope all goes well...

See you all next thursday at compass. happy schooling. (not)

Permited

Sad to report, summer is almost over. So I only have 7 days of work left and the pool is only open for 8 more. this is so depressing. But, I'm free to hang out out after its over! This summer has been the best by far. Shore trips, work, swim team, love, and no school. new friends, new life. very amusing. But, like i said, it's coming to a close.

And i've kinda gotten really used to this life so if I seem depressed at compass or church, give me time to adjust so I don't vent on you or punch you in the face... :)

So recently we got our computer expanded with more memory. which means faster internet, and more space! So, i was going through some of my old games and I decided to re-put on the sims. It is so freakin addictive and fun. alot of drama in it tho.. hahaha.

SO THE BEST PART IS.... I GOT MY PERMIT!!!
I only went out 3 times so far but its super cala fragalistic expealdociously fun. like, really fun. except when your mom tells you to brake for speed bumps and stop signs when your about 1/2 mile away from them...

That's my life, so comment...

Pearly Whites

I got my braces off!!! :) They look beautiful and I'm super excited. The bad part is, I had to get a retainer. :( My one retainer is glued in on the bottom and I wish it was on the top too. It's pretty much the most comfterable retainer ever made and It dosen't bother me at all.

My top one, thats a diffrent story. It's just like the Invisiline which is like a clear braces and it fits snug into your teeth. Its nice cause I don't have a medal wire going across my teeth, but it's very annoyign to talk and sing with. That might be a problem since everyone knows I love to do both of those things. So heres a picture and I will see you all at church on sunday. P.s... my birthday is in 6 days. :)

(p.s. sorry you have to lean to the left)

Youth Camp 2009

I am very pleased to admit that my team (Brown) came in dead last place. Now, that is something to be acomplished. I told my team that we either had to come in last place, or first place to call it a good weak. But, that's not the main point of youth Camp. The main point is for God to meet us and he certainly did! There were 20 kids baptized, and I was one of them plus like 4 of my bestest friends. And 16 kids got saved, three of them were my wonderful cousins. :) I broke down into tears when I saw some of those people being saved. Especially when I saw some of the boys who don't ever cry crying. That was very touching and I thank God for it. So, that's my update for the week and I look forward to Youth Sunday tomorrow morning.

No one comments on my blog anymore...

I'm really sad because no one commented on my swim team post. it was really long and funny and it took me a long time to make. :(

Anyway, I'm on the brown team for youth camp. My team leaders are Sean Smith, Mary Gemmel, and Ben Heidengren.

Brown Team
-Jaclyn Bailey
-Phoebe Adams
-Jay Corrigain
-Jake Fanelli
-Aaron Feldman
-Meghan Hand
-Asa Harvey
-Ben Keller (idk him?)
-Emma Machowski
-Mary Mox
-Kristine Rosemann
-Stephen Saroka
-Matt Schivert

I'm kinda excited but as you can see, my team is really quiet. But, with me, kristine, asa, and jake it will be kinda loud and obnoxious. So, Go brown!

Swim Teamin it

I am very sad to report swim team is over for the season. I still think it should go into August, but the parents and coaches boy cotted my request.


Anywho, today was my swim team banquet and it was wayyy fun. I got my 5 year towel (that i was suppost to get last year), I got the spirit award which only goes to 2 people out of 8o swimmers (I was super excited). I got medals and ribbons, and a team gift which was a bag. And then my coach gave out gag gifts and she was like "This person is a good swimmer, loves her team, comes to every practice, but loves to complain about everything. Jackie Bailey, we got you a binky. Come get it." And I had to go up in front of the whole team, parents included, and recieve it. I was laughing so hard and so was the room of 150 people watching me. Good times, good times...


I thank God so much for my swim team because basically, without sports and my job, my summer would be soooo boring. So, Thanks God, your the man.


Here is a picture from 6 years ago on my team... (im in the second row on the right)



This is the newest picture... Im in the fourth row from the bottom second one in from the left. And Paige joined the team this year and shes first row third one in from the right. (Shes the skinny mexican looking one.)
p.s. Paige's boyfriend, Ryan, is bottom row third one in from the left. hes so cute.


And Here is my lifeguard picture. I think you can find me, but im in the white shirt with the guard thing. haha. (Some snack bar and gate people are in here too. but mostly its just guards.)

In the hood

So the Morton Olympics are finally here. For those of you who don't know what they are, its a bunch of diffrent things people compete in. It's really fun. There's like speed walking, swimming, longest burp, eating/drinking contest (water), dodge ball, and all that jazz... It's really fun and you should be jealous that you don't live in Ridley...

Horrible

I'm a terrible person. All of you have been waiting so long for me to write on here. I bet your all like "What's been going on with that Jackie Bailey girl?" (HA kidding...) I know you all have lives in the summer and so do I. haha. I don't have much news to share. Just making lots of benjamins at my new job. which i love... alot. But what I love most about my job is the people.

I have made so many friends and I'm very grateful for them. They aren't really christians and they might talk about some things that I would never do or think of doing, but I still talk to them and am friends. I guess all I can do is pray and be a good example to them. I hope I'm doing good... lol.

I feel like I haven't talked to any church kids in a long time. I'm not even exadgerating (sp?) when I say that my life revolves around the pool anymore. If I'm not working, I'm at swim team. And if I'm not there, I'm babysitting Paige and hanging down there.

Today is my mom's birthday so we went to P.F. Chang's in glen mills/ west chester. I love it there.

That's my life... for now.

All of us down the shore. :)

My 10 year old boyfriend, Jake.

Me and My friends being speds.

To God..

Well everyone, I've been working a lot lately. Like kinda too much. I have work in like 45 minutes. haha. I just found out I can't help the Hayes' move because im gonna be working. Oh well..

That reminds me, Please pray for my family and I to start looking for a house. It's not an emergency move, but we've always wanted to move to the west chester area. All (most) of my friends live out there and I think it would be a great experience. Also, if we ever move we may be going on the church plant in the future. :) :( (i dont know if thats good or bad.) Don't get scared because we prolly wont be for a long time, if not ever. Idk what God has for us. He could move us to Texas next week for all I know. I just have to trust in him.
All this God talk is getting me super excited for Youth Camp. Had to say it.. hahah.

P.s. the house I want, but wont ever get... haha.

Life

Nothing has really been happening in my life. I've been working and have swim team alot. That's kinda it. But, I did have a intresting night last night cause i went to zacs grad party. I had lots of fun with livvys white flip flops, chair racing in the basement, spinning little kids around, and socializing. It was the highlight of my week since nothing else went on. hahaha.

So my decision for school next year is still up in the air. I still haven't decided but my mom has made it pretty clear she dosen't want me to go to ridley and DC is extremly expensive so homeschooling might be the choice, we just need to find a math teacher.

I worked with you know who for the first time this week and it was oodles of fun. You should be jealous...

Schooling

Hey Guys... I need your help. But mostly I need God's help. I can't decide what I should do for school next year. Here are my selections.

1. Homeschooling
pros- flexibility, friends at co-op, sleeping in.
cons- maybe i'm not learning enough, home alone, and kinda boring.

2. Ridley (public school)
pros-nothing. haha. well i could be a light to the darkness.
cons-hate those kids cause there all really bad...

3. Deleware County Christian School
pros- Christian education, new friends, Meg Daly and I will be in the same class!
cons- Insanely expensive and far.

Please pray that God would help us to decide on what to do. Pray that he would make this an easy choice so we can get things situated over the summer (i.e. homeschool forms, or application and acceptance forms for DCCS.)

Leave your thoughts too please...

Hershey Park

So yesterday I went to Hershey Park. I thought it was going to be sort of a nightmare with the amount of people going. But, after a few melt downs and traumas, we all got into groups we were satisfied with. I wasn't with the same people all day but I was mostly with Jenny, Liv, Bri, Kevin, Isaac, Ben, Jake (Drake) and Josh. It was super fun because i got jenny to ride on roller coasters with me and I'm pretty sure that my ear drums are not happy about that.

Bill and Jake on Farenheit. Funniest roller coaster picture ever.


Jenny and I. Were pretty snazy.



Homeschoolers

"Oh my gosh. Jenny, that kid looks like Collin Scull." - Me

"Yeah, I can kinda see that"- Jenny

"Like seriously, I need to stop hanging around church people cause I kinda see people who look like them everywhere. ..... Like, that kid looks like connor over there"- Me"

"Bailey, That IS connor."- Jenny

fun times yesterday....

Chicken Ala Dolly

So, becky did a post on her competition with kate on cooking. and i sent her this recipe that made me hungry. Sooo... I thought I'd share it because its pretty much my favorite meal. (It's tied with Chick-fil-a.) Mrs. Demi posted it and there is a really funny story behind it if you want to know.
It's like this creamy chicken with ritzs crackers on top. And now, im really hungry. Here is the recipe and I hope you like it as much as I do since I make my mom make it like 3 times a month. hahaha.

Lemonade and Airfreshners

So since I have nothing to talk about, I will share with you two funny things that happened to me today.
1. I accidently poured lemonade into my sisters cereal instead of milk. Stupid swiss farms makes lemonade look exactly like milk gallons.
2. My mom bought me an air freshner and came home, handed it to me, and told me I needed to put it in my room. No lie.

Excitedness

Since I have nothing to share. Here is something..


Things im excited for...


1. Summer (one more week)



2. lifeguarding + k.g.



3. Hershey Park



4. Youth Camp



5. tan lines



6. hanging with friends



7. Compass on thursday (ha im a nerd)



8. and my work party on friday. super fun.

I get super tan. So watch out.

Do the Limbo...

Aloha! Today, I had work from 9-3. It was my first official job day, but we just did work around the pool. It wasnt open yet. Memorial Day <3

Anyway, wednesday was Paige's birthday and today was her party! She had like 13 girls, good thing I wasn't there. These pictures are from last night when my mom and I got it all ready. Enjoy.

Descriptions are BELOW picture.

Mommy doing the limbo. We made this from real trees! ^

This is the cake we made. In the back, you see the ice cream polly. To the left side you see the polly tanning, and prolly getting cancer. In the ocean, we have swimmer polly. And she is surrounded by octopuses and fish and sea horses. I think she is very brave. ^

Another view of the cake. :) ^

You can see the dolphins really well here. The blue things in the middle. My mom and I think its funny that the polly and clown fish are bigger than the dolphins. (its only cause the dolphins are "Aquatic Sweetish Fish." ^

Hawiian Pizza :) yumm. I ALSO made this. ^

Hawiian Pizza and cake. :) ^

The reason I'm sharing this all with you is not to bore you, It's to show you how really talented I am. I think this is God's future calling for me. kidding. hahaha

Geek Squad Trauma

So, last week I sent Clara the Camera to the geek squad. Her lens broke and the microphone on her didn't work which meant there was no sound on videos. I told the man at Geek Squad that she had TWO problems but they only fixed ONE of them. So now, I have to wait ANOTHER two weeks for her to come back to me. Geek Squad Must Die.

I miss you Clara. Come back soon. :(

Red, White, and Phillies

So yesterday I went to the Phillies game for Paige's birthday. We planned a birthday bash thinger for her which means the Phillies people send a worker to come to our section and have Paige stand on her chair. They have our WHOLE section (like 100 people) sing happy birthday to her and throw confetti all over, which is still in my hair.

Since I'm such a nice sister, I saw the phano-vision guy (camera man) and asked him to get us onto the Phano-vision (the big screen where the whole place sees you one. Since he was really nice, he came over and we were up there! It was like 30 seconds of pure fame. I really enjoyes. Probobally more than paige did. haha.

The only thing that I did not enjoy about the game was the mean fans and the fact that the phillies lost terribly. So where we sat was in left field. And like right below us is the left fielder and when the Dodgers were in the field, the Phillies fans would boo at him. They also were chanting "Mannys Back-up!" Which is not very nice because Manny was the left fielder and he got caught using steriods so this guy replaced him for the time being. The man who started the yelling and chant got kicked out and that made me very happy.

I'm glad you all read this. :)

I've decided to keep up my blog.

Hey Guys, well Kierstin made me make a blog last year. I don't really know how to use them so I guess I'll just figure it out. I thought I'd share with you about my life so far...

It's a very crazy week. As most of you know, I just got a new lifeguard job at my pool I swim for so it's going to be very busy summer. To top it off, im also playing on my softball team that I play for every year. We have a game almost every tuesday and thursday night so I have to keep denying (sp?) babysitting requests and I have to miss small group and care group. Oh well. I really love being in sports. I guess you could say I'm kinda a jock. ;) jk.

School is almost over!! I'm going on the Hershey Park field trip on May 27th and then my evaluation for the year is the day after. Which means that I need to have all my school done on may 26th. and thats only 10 more days of school. I hope I can do it!

Paige's birthday is tomorrow and I'm kinda really excited because were going to the phillies game. And most of you know, I'm a very big phillies fan. So it should be alot of fun.

Let me know how my post was cause I have no idea how to do it. hahaha. byee. <3
