Bye Guys

This is my last post ever here. I'm now at myspace: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=47792016 yep!! Byez forever

Happy New Year!!

It's 2006!! That means we've only got a year and a half before we get to leave Timothy forever!! Kind of exciting, isn't it? But yet sad in a way.

Anyway, I said I'd tell you about the rest of my Christmas. So, my mom's family's Christmas party was at my Uncle Brian and Aunt Michelle's house, which we've never done before. Their dogs are crazy!! So...

My Aunt Linda gave me a Horse Calender (which still needs to be hung up), a horse pillow, and the Sisterhood OTTP DVD, which I left at their house:,(

From my Aunt Julie in California, all of the girl cousins got a cool present. You open up an oyster and pull out the pearl from inside. Then you put it in this sort of mini "cage" and onto a necklace. It's really pretty!

From my Uncle Brian, we all got gift cards to Target for $1. At least that's what he wrote! We all thought we were being scammed! My Aunt told my mom later that they were really for $10. (He's kind of a prankster.)

Then at my dad's family's Christmas party, I got a horse pin, modeled off of one DaVinci or someone made, and an ornament.

Also over break, I stayed at my Aunt Linda's house where I got to see their new kitten Roxy, who's adorable! I don't think I'm allergic to her either. I also went ice skating with Becca. Then I spent New Year's with Val at her cottage since it's litterally right around the corner from my grandma's. I had I really great Christmas and hope you all did too!!

PS: I thought I lost my good violin forever!! Then today at school I found that I never even took it home for break!!

PPS: I'm gonna get my mice for real!! My mom said that if I'm good for a week or two (real hard, huh), she'd take me to the store. I think the fact that I have all the money for them helps. ;)

Happy Christmas!! ;) ;)

So far, this Christmas has been awesome! This morning we opened up our stockings. I *got an orange, some cat socks, a new pink and red reversible ribbon belt, one of those things where you put it in the water and it gets big (a horse, of course!), and some candies from England. Very yummy! We also got to open one present each. I got a new pink coat with faux fur trim on the hood. Olivia also got a pink coat and Abby got a brown down vest.

Then we went to church. It was really good, but I was so tired!

Just now, we opened presents. I got a pink cable sweater, pink stripy shirt, pink scarf (to match my new coat), and pink pants. (The funny thing is – I asked my mom not to get me any more pink clothes. I have way too many!!!!) Now for the best parts: we got an HP6 book from England!! It’s smaller and more portable. I also got a new bow for my violin! Pernambuco if that means anything to you. Now, dun dun dun DUN!: a PS2! We were in shock when we opened it up. We just started screaming! There’s also DDR and the mat to go with it. My dad and Abby are setting it up right now. So, guess I’ll have to have a DDR party or something…

This was just our immediate family party. Tomorrow, we’ll go up to MI for our other family parties. I’ll talk about them when I get back. I’d love to hear about all of your Christmas’s so e-mail me any time!!

*sorry about this, but I say “got” or “get” so many times. it sounds really annoying, but I didn’t want to say “received” or “receive” cuz it sounds dumb

Alright, as most of you know, I'm going to San Francisco tomorrow so I'm going to be really busy the rest of the day. But, I wanted to put in here the best part of my day which happened (ironically) in 6th hour Algebra.

Snoeyink: OK guys, we're doing word problems today!
Class: (moans) Why do we have to learn these? (moans)
Snoeyink: So we can apply them to our lives! OK, page 210 number 1. Phoebe Small is out Sunday driving in her space ship.

Did anyone find that as funny as I did?

Tough Decision

(we threw her in the pile!) v

I might have told some of you, I have the choice to to two very fun things this weekend. Either stay home and do a scavenger hunt at the zoo with youth group, have the special Christmas youth group on Sunday, and play with orchestra at yorktown,... or go to San Francisco with my dad. I know, for some of you, you'd be like, "Uh, San Francisco! Hello!"

So, after a whole bunch of thinking, I've decided to go with my dad. I really hope we'll have a lot of fun. It seems like at night, I really want to stay home this weekend. But in the daytime, I want to go to CA!! I've told my dad I'm going, but in my head, I kind of want to stay home:,(

Now, I'm almost, almost, almost finished with all of my HP scarves! I'm done with mine and have worn it all over. My slytherin one needs fringe on one side and my gryffindor one needs a little help, but I plan to finish this week. I'll post pictures of them soon! For now, here's some of us a couple weeks ago in the leaves.

I saw my best YVC friend at the zoo today! I was so excited! I was reading story to a few kids on a blanket on the floor and I looked up and there she was. It was a very nice surprise. I got to go see the baby dolphin at the zoo today. She's so tiny! Look at the picture I put in above.

I also saw Harry Potter! No, I didn't read a story to him, I mean the movie. It was FANTASTIC!! The first half wasn't great. It kind of rushed. But the second half was awesome. I felt like I was actually there in the movie experiencing what the characters did. I cried when _____ died. (I'm not revealing who if you haven't read the book yet. It really hit me when his/her dad yelled, " That's my son/daughter!" I almost cried when Moody was torturing the spider in front of Neville. I didn't understand when I read the book the first time but I get it now. Overall, it's the best Harry Potter movie of all (at least, for now...!). You guys have to go see it!

I'm Back

Wow, a lot's happened since I posted last!

The play was awesome, and the cast party was so much fun! The Hegel's have a really pretty house. We walked into their basement and it just kept going and going.

Harry Potter comes out tomorrow and I'm so excited!!! I wore my scarf to school today. It was really warm. Can you guys believe the weather outside? It's like 15 frickin' degrees!!! with a wind chill of about 2!! aaand SNOW!!!!

Now, our house is finally under construction. They started by digging out our deck, and then putting up concrete walls inside that hole for the crawl space, and to hold up the new walls above it. Yesterday, THEY TORE THE ROOF OFF! It's only above the attic, though, but we're still pretty cold. There's also an opening in the office through the wall to outside and even though it's covered up, there's still cold air coming through. Today I came home from school and it sounded like our house was haunted! There were all these guys on our roof walking around and banging and hammering. It was really loud! Fortunately, my room is the quietest and warmest. Wow, I never thought a basement room could be soooo nice!
