updates!

not to much has happened since I left Missouri, so heres just a list of updates:

1. Team 9, Mrs. Smith!

2. I am actually not painting my room in the Summer. See, I have no place to put the furniture while I am painting, so we have opted to wait until my brother Tommy leaves for college so we can store my furniture in his room.

3. Summer is slowly slipping through my fingers

4. I've had lots of sleepovers in the past week. Nikki and I had a sleepover, and it was so much fun! we took lots of pictures, and they didn't really turn out so well. haha put if you want to see them, just look at my facebook! Also, Lynsey and I had a sleepover to! except ours was double! Friday night, Lynsey slept over at my house, and we watched the premiere of Monk and Psych, and then we watched some of the first season of Pysch. We also walked to our friend Kentons house from church. haha we stayed there for like 45 minutes just talking. then the next day, my parents and brother went to a St. Louis Cardinals game in Pittsburg. I am normally up for a ball game, except we wouldn't be getting back until 3 o clock Sunday morning. And we had church the next day at 8. hmmm... I wouldn't be able to get up. SO, I slept over at Lynseys house instead, and I went to church with them the next morning! Lynsey and I watched 24, which is now like one of my favorite shows. I need to catch up though because I am only on season 1!:)

5. I've been working at the school for Service hours, and it's been a lot of fun! Erin, becca, Julia and I have had lots of fun and still got things done! hurray!

6. i've decided that I am going to buy my families christmas presents this year, instead of having my mom put my name on them. hopefully none of them see what I am going to get them...
Joey: $20 gift card to Dicks Sporting goods
Tommy: a tie for his mission*
Mom: A gift card to Lee's nails, for a mani and a pedi!
Dad: unknown? any ideas?

7. uhhmmm.. I went to PA yesteday to See my Cousin Lauren and her son Carter! it was very fun, we went shopping, and went to dinner, and played croquet! haha I love going to Pennsylvania! ask me about our shopping trip when you get the chance...(:


* A mission is a two year trip for guys ages 19-21. they go to some place in the US or around the world, and they teach people all about our religion. they are aloud to call us on Mothers day and on Christmas! they can e-mail there immediate family once and a week, but write as many letters as they want! I know is sounds sad that they are gone for two years without much contact, but it's really amazing, because they are doing something incredible for our church!

love ya!
