You're so handsomely beautiful.

Is there anything else that I need to say?

Out to Lunch... Be Back Never. ^-^

I love that boy.

He's amazing.

---

Today, we picnicked at our super secret silent spot. We had tasty turkey sandwiches, with mayonnaise, lettuce, and cheese. Tostido's tortilla chips ("with a hint of lime" flavored). Fruit salad. And to top it off, iced tea. =)

It was still sunny at the time, too!

A little too muggy for our taste, we headed over to Old Navy to begin our (well, my) shopping extravaganza! We had waited to spend some time together so we could travel to Old Navy and spend the gift card he gave to me on my birthday.

And we finally got to.

It was entertaining, too... seeing him help shop with me...

... oh my goodness, he's the perfect boy ...
Not even kidding.

But anyway, because everything on clearance was too big or too small or too wintry or too ugly, we decided to start out in the flip-flop section of the store.

That's probably not a smart idea.
I love flip-flops.

They were super cheap, so I got one pair and still had enough for an article of clothing.
I've been looking for a cute zip-up hoodie, and I was hoping I could find one.

And I did!

I got a white zip-up that's thinner, so I can wear it in the summertime and wintertime.

=)

Happiness!

=)

After I made my purchases, I ended up with $1.87 left to put in my wallet as cash... It's always a good thing.

Then we made an excursion to Kohl's because his parents had given me a $25 gift card for my birthday as well.

I like clothing.
^-^

While we were there, Josh gave me this "camp" bracelet that he made with his kids at the YMCA camp he works at.

It's cute.
I won't take it off.
=)

Anyway, I found these really cute Soffee shorts that were green and had cherries all over them. I almost bought them, but they didn't have a size that wouldn't shrink in the wash.

I did find some navy shorts though, and I've been looking for some for a while now. They were just the right price and size and everything.

At the end of my spree, I bought those navy shorts, these green pebbly bracelets, and some cute cloth capris. They're white and have blue seagulls on them (like Aeropostle-type birds).

So I got my summery clothing, and it all looks super adorable.
And it matches me perfectly.

After all of that, Josh and I ended our afternoon with a trip to Starbucks Coffee. I got a Raspberry Mocha Frappuccino and it was delightful... and succulent. ^-^

I also got an application to work there, because I am going to save my money for an Apple laptop like no other.

=)

So, needless to say, after all that wasted space above, I had a great afternoon.

---

Finally, Pastor Tim Dilena is speaking at IDT tomorrow night. That makes me super excited!
Josh even asked if he could go to church with me, and that makes me even more happy.

I'm finally getting something right.

And that is the best thing I could ever have.

Happy day!

Two Ponderable Questions

But first!

Grades!!
Hot off the presses!

...

hee hee hee.
Maybe, but not really.

Here goes:

2006 - 2007 School Year (Junior Year)

Semester 1
Class
Teacher Grade
Early Bird - Jurkovich - A
Analysis Honors - Gossett - B+
Wind Symphony - Leeb - A
A Cappella Choir - Barsch - A

AP U.S. Gov - Hurt - A+
English 3 Accelerated Honors - Query - B

GPA Junior Year: 4.0588
Cumulative GPA: 4.1020

Class rank: 15/429
And that, my friends, is the top 3.5% of my class.

I'm so happy.
And thankful.

I worked hard for that 15th rank.
Junior year is the hardest.
Don't slack off.

[[ sigh ]]
[[ of ]]
[[ relief ]]

....

Kay.
So the real point of my post.

Here are two questions that make me laugh out loud:

number [[ one ]] :
"Once you're in Heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity?"

&&&'

number [[ two ]] :
"If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?"

That one really got me.

^-^
Enjoy.

My neck is charred.
My face is red.
My arms are tan.
My legs are burned.
My hands are sweaty.
My back is sore.
My shoulders are aching.
My knees are cracking.
My ankles are swollen.
My feet have cramps.

Ahhhhhhhhh.......

It sure smells like marching band!

And that's the way I want to spend my summer: marching.

It's the life.

Heads up, marching band!

IDT starts tonight.

I'm so excited!

Last night was pretty much the best, too.
Brother Josh, Caitlyn (who's been staying with us practically the entire week), Josh, and I went to Downtown Naperville.

I had Noodles & Company for the very first time.
I had Wisconsin Mac & Cheese.
It was very, very, very delicious.

Then we went to Jamba Juice.
And I got a Orange-A-Peel drink.
And guess what else?
I'm such a nerd.

Jamba Juice Orange Dream Machine scented chap stick.
SPF: 15.

I'm a weirdo, I know.

Then we walked on the Riverwalk.
And Josh was cute.
And I got to be held by him.
It made me happy.

But anyway.
I have to get going.
Just updating to update.
And broadcast that everything's good and dandy.
Pretty much yeah.

=)

If you could only see how this has affected me, then maybe you'd understand.

But I don't blame you for hating me.
I can't blame you for hating me.

I hurt you.

You Know Where To Find Me
~ Matthew West ~

I saw your sky fall down today.
Suddenly turned from blue to gray,
Till one by one, the raindrops turned to tears upon your face.
Wish there was something I could do,
Wish I could ease the pain from you.

But I've never felt so helpless.


It's like you're drowning right in front of me,
And I'm reaching out,
But you can't see.
There's something holding onto you so tight.
So I guess this is all I'll say to you tonight...

And it's my fault.

Still...

If you ever need me,
You know where to find me.
I will be waiting,
Where I've always been.
If you ever need me,
You know where to find me.
I have never left you,
I'm where I've always been.

Right by your side.
I'm right by your side...

I'm in as much disbelief as you are.
I can't believe that I did that.
I can't believe that I made that choice.

But, what's done is done.

I will have to live with the consequences.
Nothing I say or do can take regret away.

If I could, I would erase that moment.
I would have made a better decision.

I've failed you one more time.
And I have no more extra continues left.

It's okay.
It's going to be all right.
God will make it better.

...The whole wide world is on [my] back.
And the strength [I] need is the strength [I] lack.
...[I'm] in a crowd but all alone,
...[I] can't stay here, but [I] can't go home.
...[I] can't answer all the "why's".
...[I'm] too tired to reach that high.

[But I] need to remember:

If [I] ever need Him,
[I] know where to find Him.
He will be waiting,
Where He's always been.

If [I] ever need Him,
[I] know where to find Him.
He has never left [me],
He's where He's always been.

He's right by [my] side.
He's right by [my] side
He's right by [my] side.

And I'm so blessed because I still get you.

I love you.

And I'm sorry.

Don't Take The Girl
~ Tim McGraw ~

Johnny's daddy was taking him fishing,
When he was eight years old.
A little girl came through the front gate,
Holding a fishing pole.
His dad looked down and smiled.
Said, "We can't leave her behind."
"Son, I know you don't want her to go,
But someday, you'll change your mind."

And Johnny said,
"Take Jimmy Johnson,
Take Tommy Thompson,
Take my best friend Bo-.
Take anybody that you want,
As long as she don't go.
Take any boy in the world...
Daddy, please - don't take the girl."

Same old boy,
Same sweet girl,
Ten years down the road.
He held her tight and kissed her lips,
In front of the picture show.
Stranger came and pulled a gun,
Grabbed her by the arm.
Said, "If you do what I tell you to do,
There won't be any harm."

And Johnny said,
"Take my money,
Take my wallet,
Take my credit cards.
Here's the watch that my grandpa gave me,
Here's the keys to my car.
Mister, give it a whirl...
But please - don't take the girl."

Same old boy,
Same sweet girl,
Five years down the road.
There's gonna be a little one,
And she says it's time to go.
Doctor says, "The baby's fine,
But you'll have to leave,
'Cause his momma's fading fast."

And Johnny hit his knees,
And there he prayed,
"Take the very breath you gave me,
Take the heart from my chest.
I'll gladly take her place if you'll let me.
Make this my last request:
Take me out of this world...
God, please - don't take the girl."

Johnny's daddy was taking him fishing,
When he was eight years old.

It doesn't feel like summer yet.

Not DM, but just as great!

OEHS Leadership Team: Flute section leader.

*shrugs*

Only because I haven't been in MB for that long.
'S understandable.

=))

And the best part is that I still get to go to SWC DM Camp.
Only because he wants me to learn how to conduct for my future, and for my internship with him 2nd semester.
^.^

I can't wait.

And now I sit here, feeling not disappointed, but feeling grateful. That I get the honor of still being a leader, and getting to go to DM camp.

Happy!

I'm also sitting in the presence of 5 men. one of which I love dearly (named Joshua P. Reifsteck). I love him.
Yup. Yup.
Bai!

Much Better Day Today.

I liked today.

Today was great.

I ate a tamale.
I love tamales.

Here's a few icons.
And a song.
My favorite song.

Teddy Bears' Picnic
~ Jimmy Kennedy/John W. Bratton (as sung by Bing Crosby) ~

If you go down to the woods today,
You're sure of a big surprise.
If you go down to the woods today,
You'd better go in disguise.

For ev'ry bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.

Ev'ry teddy bear who's been good,
Is sure of a treat today.
There's lots of marvelous things to eat,
And wonderful games to play.

Beneath the trees where nobody sees,
They'll hide and seek as long as they please.
'Cause that's the way the teddy bears have their picnic.

If you go down to the woods today,
You'd better not go alone.
It's lovely down in the woods today,

But safer to stay at home.

For ev'ry bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.

Picnic time for teddy bears.
The little teddy bears are having a lovely time today.
Watch them, catch them unawares,
And see them picnic on their holiday.

See them gaily gad about.
They love to play and shout;
They never have any care;

At six o'clock their mummies and daddies,
Will take them home to bed.
Because they're tired little teddy bears.


*** dedicated to my lovely, little sister, Heatherbear (it's her favorite song) ***
