Just In Case You Thought This Blog Fell Off the Face of the Earth...

As the incredibly long title of this post stated, this post is just to inform you that "this blog HAS NOT fallen of the face of the earth" and is in fact just... um.... sleeping? for awhile. :) Actually, this morning at church, I was chided by Jonathan for not having posted anything new in a month or two so I figured I might as well. Anyways, this post shall be devoted to a recap of the beginnings of Sophmore year in PICTURES!! :D Alright first off....

When I got back from THE ROAD TRIP I went with Mandy and her parents down to their time share in Laguna Beach for the weekend...



I have no clue what she's saying at the end of that video... if you can decifer it, please let me know!

That same weekend, Mandy decided to go emo/gothish... the outcome was... intriguing to say the least.

 Maggie's 16th birthday just past (My, Maggie! How old you are! hehe) and we celebrated by kidnapping her at 6:30 that morning and draggin her in her pajamas to IHOP for birthday pancakes. Later that night her parents took us down to the beach for dinner... To save the dignity of all, I won't be posting pictures of everyone in their PJ's, half asleep at IHOP but here's a pic of us all down by the beach...

Oksana and David Orlik were BAPTISED!! I do have several pictures of each of their baptismals but they are horridly grainy and not worth posting. =/

And then there was HOMECOMING! Anyone who knows me in the least knows that I don't particularly like dances... at all. But, after avoiding them all freshman year, I finally gave in. It went well and we all had a lovely time despite the fact that I ran around barefoot all night. Nefarious heels....

We adopted an adorable little creature named Miss Frizzle. (like the wild, red haired teacher from the Magic School Bus)

I FINALLY got a picture of David smiling.... almost.... close enough?

Meaghan took me to a USC football game... They won (of course) but it was really just hanging out that made the day so much fun. And just in case you were wondering, I CAN actually follow a football game. :P



And for Zachary's birthday we took him and Daniel to Dave and Buster's at the Ontario Mills Mall. However, I shan't post a picture of THAT because it is MUCH too disturbing. :)

So, that has been the photographed events between our ROAD TRIP and now... pretty exciting? O_O
