YAY!!

Ok ya'll, I am SO excited!! It's been, oh let's see...almost 3 years I do believe?? 3 years since I saw my awesome uncle. He's my mom's brother and he lives in Pittsburgh. You would think with him living only about 2 1/2 hours away that we would see him more often, but we don't. The last time we saw him was when my sister graduated and he was at her ceremony and party.

Welllll....today he's coming to see us again!!! Unfortunately, his wife and twin daughters won't be with him, but we are so excited he's coming! It's been even longer since I saw my aunt Carla and the girls. I think it's been 6 years?? Yep that sounds about right. I don't know what we'll do today...probably sit around and talk, but it's gonna be so much fun!=D

On a sadder note, I am still doing so terribly with school work!! Does anyone feel like giving me a good kick to the behind? Maybe it'll get me moving. I don't know why it's so hard to catch up....I do have to say though, when my instructional supervisor told me that I'm a month behind in order to finish June 1, but that she wants us to finish then for our good, I was soooo relieved! She said it's not like if I don't finish by then I'll fail the grade, it's just better for students if they get the whole summer off. So yes, I feel more relaxed, but I'm still sluggish with catching up...*sigh*

Well now that I've informed you of my terrible habit, I must go so I can try to catch up. Til next time!

Happy Anniversary!

Well, I missed my own anniversary! Man! I don't even wanna know what it's gonna be like when I have important things like that to remember all the time!

Well, I bet you're anxiously sitting at the edge of your seat wondering just what anniversary I missed. It was the first anniversary, too!! Isn't that like the most important one until the 5 year?? Well anyways, it was the first anniversary of the day my blog and I joined and formed this relationship!!

That's right! January 8, 2010 I posted the first ever blog post for "A Day in the Life of a Talkative Teen." Since then, I have posted 84 times, approximately 7 times a month. Which is so not accurate because there were months I posted like once and then there are months when I've posted like 10 times. But if I continue to post steadily like I've start out doing this year, I should have a great big number to tell you all at the end of the year!=D

Anyways, just wanted to wish myself a happy anniversary!=) Thank you to all my faithful readers! You guys give me the extra shove to keep posting and to be faithful about it!=) Looking forward to a great year with you all, and hopefully you all will start letting me know you read *ahem* comments *ahem*

My love story

Someday, I hope to have a love story like this one. Just about every time I hear this song it makes me cry and cry. It's such a good song, but so incredibly sad at the end when...well, you can listen and find out why the ending is so sad for yourself=)

What are you eating??

Well everyone, I've come to give you probably my very favorite breakfast recipe EVER!! When I tell you the ingredients, many of you will probably say, "Ewww!!!" But I'm telling you it's amazingly good!! So if you're one of those people that will take a chance with what you're eating, you won't be disappointed! For those of you who do NOT take chances with food....I'm sorry that you're missing out on this delicious little breakfast;-) Oh and one more thing! I was going to take pictures and post them but I didn't have one for breakfast this morning, and I didn't want to wait to post the recipe because it's been a few days since the last post=D

So here are the ingredients:

1 egg

1 cinnamon and raisin bagel

ketchup

mayo

one slice of cheese (probably best to use American or Velveeta (what I use)

To make the sandwich, make one egg over-easy. While the egg is cooking you should put your bagel in the toaster. After the bagel is toasted, put the mayo and ketchup on it. Usually when I make the sandwich my egg is done before the bagel so I put the slice of cheese on the egg to melt it some. After both are done, put the egg on the bagel, and your sandwich is complete!! Just a quick warning for anyone who may try this, it is VERY, I repeat VERY messy! So be prepared with a plate and some napkins...otherwise you'll have egg yolk all over your table or all over you!

Hope you enjoy!

Sincerely, your chef;-)

How to avoid being a victim

Well today I was on Yahoo and noticed one of the featured articles was called "How Thieves Guess Your Social Security." Obviously interested, I clicked on it and watched the minute-and-a-half video. It's an interesting piece of information so I figured I would post it on my blog in case it could help someone NOT be a victim of identity theft. So please, take two minutes out of your day and watch the video:)

Recently I was reading Meagan Rowell's blog and she directed everyone to read an article by Bro. Marty Ballestero called "If You Were a Gentleman." I'm going to do the same and suggest everyone read it! Bro. Ballestero knows what a gentleman should be like and I'm just WAITING for him to write one about "If You Were a Lady." The Lord knows that I need as much direction on that as I can get!

Speaking of being a lady, my pastor's wife is a lady if I ever did see one!! She's also my grandmother which I stated in the last post, so I get to enjoy her leadership both ways=) I love you, Grandma!!=D

P.S. Click the names of the blog and the article;)

Oh wow!! I simply cannot believe it!! It's now 2011...amazing!! It seems like just yesterday we were at Sam's restaurant bringing in 2010. I had on this ridiculously cute headband that had two stars standing up on these twisty wires that said "Happy New Year" on each one. We did this play...can't remember exactly what the play was, but I of course got the talkative and dramatic part;) Seems like those are always the roles I get in plays...I wonder why?? Hmm...

Last year had to be one of the best years of my life. The great parted started in June, I think it was, when God started changing me. The next part that was awesome was in July at Apostolic Youth Conference when Bro. Jonathan Alvear preached about the cross and I got a revelation of the cross like I've never had before. And the most awesomest (yes I just said, awesomest) thing that happened last year was my trip to Colorado Springs. That conference was sooooo amazing! There was such a change in my life from it. And while I was there, I met one of the most awesome people ever! His name is Jonah:) He's been such a good friend to me and I don't think that I'll ever meet another person like him. He has such a zeal for the kingdom of God and is greatly used of the Lord:) He has an amazing testimony, and if you ever get the chance to meet him you should ask about it:D

In the past year the one part of my life that I'm sooo greatful for is all of my friends. I just can't thank the Lord enough for all of my Godly friends that are an encouragement to me. When I look at the past year I see some times that I was down and discouraged and I see the people that love me praying for me and talking to me. I'm just an awe at how much the Lord blessed me this past year. I'm SOOO looking forward to this next year!!

There are some awesome things that will hopefully (Lord, PLEASE LET THEM HAPPEN!!) be happening. The first will be this month. My aunt should be finding out whether that little baby that she's gonna be having is a boy or girl. Then, Bro. Cormier and his son will be coming at the end of the month for two special services. Totally pumped about that!! Bro. Cormier is awesome! The next will be in March. My DEAR friend and long-lost twin, Erin, should be coming, and also, another gal from her church, Alexis, will most likely be coming with her:D Then in May there are two very special things that are probably happening, but I can't tell about them quite yet because nothing is definite. In late May or June, my aunt should be having the little baby:D

In July, we obviously will be going to Apostolic Youth Conference. Then, another thing I'm praying will happen!! I'm praying we go to Summer Heritage again. That was just such an awesome experience and we met so many wonderful people. This year, quite a few more people from my church are planning on attending. My grandparents, also known as Pastor and Pastor's wife, should be going! I'm SOOO excited about that!! There's something very special about knowing that your pastor and his wife are there with you when you're far away from home:D

THEN, in October, my birthday which is always special:D And then another thing in November that I can't tell because again, nothing is definite. So I have a LOT to look forward to and I'm so excited about it!

So did anyone make resolutions this year? The other day my mom asked if I was going to make any and I said no. She told me that she read some where if you write down your resolutions that you're more likely to keep them. So I have this huge list of things I'm gonna be working on to improve myself:D

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!:D

P.S. One of my resolutions is to blog at least 3 times a week so stayed tuned for lots of blog posts;)
