The Blessings of Christmas!

I'm happy Christmas just started and its not over yet cause i love this season:).. I have taken the words out of Gryphon's mouth to use for my own use :)  .. I didn't think that you would mind me taking it word for word.... I don't mean to abuse any copy right laws... but I really don't think that you would mind.. right?  ;)

   The Keller family is here right now.  We spent all Afternoon at the beach. First we went to Shell Beach to some tide pools then we went down to the Pismo pier.    We are going to be eating even more good food tonight and I am sure tomorrow as well.  I need to start making up the eggnog soon but I am not sure if there will be any room for me in the kitchen with Dad making fried shrimp. Stephanie eating up dip for the chips.. don't ask me what kind of dip that is..  People coming in and talking, testing food and just plain out eating.  :)   and once mom gets home from the store with French bread, Club crackers, Salami and all the other things that she finds at Trader Joe's it will be even more busy... so with all that said... I had better go and start up the Eggnog. 

  I love you both so much and will hopefully post some pictures on Wednesday of our Christmas.

May God bless you and your family and friends abundantly and never ending.
 Your sister in Christ

If only we had an understanding of the meaningful truth that is being proclaimed through this feast day.  If only.

If we could love God as he loves us...... how the world would be a changed place.

As I was saying earlier...

Christmas. It's coming. It's coming fast, baby.

Yeah, I lost my train of thought a loooooonnngg time ago...

:)

Anyways, MERRY CHRISTMAS! It's just 1 1/2 hours away! :)

I love you both incredibly

Once upon a long time ago....

Would I be correct in saying that Mary was hugely pregnant with God this time over 2000 years ago, in 33 B.C.?

If not, pretend you never read that part.

But for real: Tomorrow is the day. The vast majority of the people around the world celebrate the birth of Jesus.

And...I have to go.
I'll finish up later

Love you both:)

Merry Christmas Eve!!

~GUIN~

haha here you go guys:)

Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother.
And in his name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
With all our hearts we praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we,
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
His power and glory ever more proclaim!

oh and i would like to point out i think we all got these lyrics from the smae place 

http://www.carols.org.uk/ba32-o-holy-night.htm

haha,  this is one of my favorite Christmas songs.

love you girls<3

yeahh, sorry about that. Im not sure how it goes (like, the tune) but I got the lyrics off google!

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming,
Now come the wise men from out of the Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus lowly manger;
In all our trials born to be our friends.
He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger,
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!

~cue Gryphon~

I guess no one else Knows that song.....

I mean COME ON... it is supposed to be sung in rounds... and I don't hear peep from anyone!! Humph.... Ohhhh *sigh* I guess I will sing a solo...

O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine, the night when Christ was born;
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine!
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine!

Can anyone give the second verse... just how awake are my two "Merry Christmas" "elf" friends.. who seem to be so full of the Christmas Spirit...Can they give the Second and even the third Verse. The verses are so beautiful .. it would be horrible to leave one out.. and I will give you a hint... there are enough for all of us to put one up.. but not more than that... I have already put mine up.. who will be next?
God bless you both
Your sister in Christ and fellow... Christmas elf... I really don't know where that came from

Hi again:)

2 words: CHRISTMAS BREAK!!!!

Coming soon to the school systems near you. Or should I say us:)

I was all happy last night, and taking my shower and I realized 2 weeks of break will be here in 2 weeks!! WOOT!

I should finish school now, but I'll probably find something else to do instead...:(...:\...:)


Love you guys

It is Apirl.

The Starbucks thing is in April... but you know... we could always do one now and another later.
I can't wait to see the Voyage of the Dawn Treader.  We should go and see it together!!!  It comes out in 5 days!

Well... mom doesn't really like me on the computer on Sundays... so I guess I should go.
 God bless you
I love you so much!!!!

Your sister in Christ
~GUIN~

P.S.  Don't be to upset if I don't email either of you today.  After I post I have to turn off the computer.

2nd P.S.  I will try to download and post and email the pictures to you tomorrow or the next day.  Email me to remind me.

You won't get trampled! People usually aren't that bad, you just might get shoved around a little:) I don't know anyone who would be a good body guard...but speaking of David Jacobs I talked to him on the phone long enough to give him dads phone number today-you reminded me of that moment in time when you wrote that:)
I don't really think we would need a body guard in most cases, unless we were going somewhere huge and packed full of people.
But yeah, you totally have to go shopping with us....like next year would be nice:) Or any year after that.

Our annual starbucks trip is coming up soon...is it March or April?? I can never remember.

Anyways love you both:)

Soo Cute

 Those Piggy Banks are so cute!!!  Where are you going to keep yours?  Did your cousin buy it for you while you were Black Friday shopping?  I am so going to have to go with you one of these years!  I would never go by myself.  I might get trampled. we could recruit some guy we know that could come with us and be our body guard.... David Jacobs could be a good candidate.  He's big.  Any other ideas?  
  I love you both.

Thanks for posting Zypher!
God bless you
Your sister in Chirst
~GUIN~

Yay, you smiled:)

Good, I didn't want to make you feel bad, cause I truly thought it was more funny then embarrassing.

You. Have . Style.

Style I tell you!!

I don't really even know what I'm saying, so don't ask. You just HAVE STYLE...mmk?

I watched the first video you posted (which was awesome) and part of the second one (which was also awesome so far) I intend to finish it, but when I have more time.

Ok, I love you guys:)

Oh yeah:

You know those giant piggy banks that they sell at target, and they are all different...themes...for lack of a better word?
Tiana bought me the baseball one (which I wanted) and it is so cute!! if you don't know what one I'm talking about go to target.com and look it up.

Ok, love you, bye:)

Called to be Saints Part IV

This is a little long but I think that talking about the saints is always so wonderful for our own sanctity.
I love you all so much

Welcome to the Catholic Church

:)

  Did you see that?  I smiled.  lol.... yes I remember that.  I felt so stupid but at least I improved this time-around.
:)  

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

I had a good day on Thursday.  We had wonderful food.  Visited with one another and had a simply good time.  Tonight we are going to my Aunt's house (as well as my uncle's and cousins house) to have desert and hang out some more with family.

  I love you both.  God bless you abundantly.

Your sister in Christ
~GUIN~ 

P.S.  I am going to go for a walk.

Yay, I wanna see your pictures!

I always like looking at your pictures cause they always turn out really good:)

Oh, about the video...I didn't mean to personally insult you! I just meant that it reminded me of the time you watched a similar video 5 times before you got it....so it just wasted 50 seconds of you're life.

You know, that time?

haha...ha?

Please start laughing...

or smile??


I thought that was definitely one of your more clever moments;)

pictures..

 I have a free moment so I thought that I would tell you that I will have pictures of my food projects in about a week.
... maybe sooner but I can't promise anything.

God bless you
YSIC
~GUIN~

ahhh.. excuse me?

 And... yes, please answer your own question and please tell me why that stupid and so totally obvious video made you think of me?
(probably obvious only because I have seen it before and got it all figured out)

 Well... a Boring post is much better than no post at all which I am glad that you figured out at last.
I am taking a break right now from cooking part of our Thanksgiving Feast.  So far I have made tons and toonnnnnnsss of cookies.  I have made a mandarin salad. Which is like a jello, cottage cheese, whip cream thing.
I have made stuffed mushrooms and ,... I have to go right now so I will conclude this post quite quitly.
God bless you
Your sister in Christ

post #413

Sorry about the boring title, I have nothing exciting to say.

Actually I don't even have something boring to say.

I don't even have ANYTHING to say.

Literally.

Except I knew it was about time i posted something so I figured I should probably do that right about now.
A record was established for me: for the first time (about a week ago) in a long time, I went almost 2 whole days without receiving an email in either account. Not even spam. I mean really? Spam? I think I'm at least worth that. But apparently not, cause nothing new happened for about 2 days and it was extremely sad and boring.

Just like this post, actually.

Yay, they match!!

I didn't even smile as I wrote that.

Ok now I'm smiling:)

Anyways, sorry to waste your time:)

Love you guys

P.S. Guin why does that video remind me of you? Lol:)

(Comment on Gryphons tumbler)

You look so cute in your Barn Theater pictures that you posted on your tumbler! I really like the one in the green chair too. That is so cool that your dad got you flowers!

So... Gryphon ... how do you re-post things from other peoples blog? I wanted to repost the picture of the lady-bug with dew on it.
So tell me how to do it soon :)

I love you both!!!
God bless you both

My picture of a little purple flower... I took this on My birthday! I digitally edited last week.

Reblog if God has done amazing things in your life.

lol.....

We are so funny... I reread the the posts about the ..Shower incident (we will call it that...better than some other names I was thinking of) and anybody who doesn't know us very well is kinda thinking that we must have a very strange friendship for wanting to be together in any circumstances that would call for throwing up in the sink together.... GROSS.

I am off to Tehachapi tomorrow with Dad!! I will be up there until after Thanksgiving. I will hopefully post just as often and even be able to call you but I can't promise anything.


I took this picture the other day. I thought it was pretty cool

Mrs. Cruess and Shannon cam up Wednesday Night and stayed all day Thursday. At one point Shannon and I went down to the River bed and took a few pictures but not to soon after we got down there my batteries went dead. I am going to make sure that they are full of energy for when you girls come up.
Here are a few of them. we had fun just talking and getting me caught up with the new from Porterville.

A new San Damiano Cross as been erected at our Parish of Mission San Miguel this last month. It was painted by a man from Portland Oregano but I don't remember his name. It is the only Franciscan symbol along the whole El Camino Real. Which is kinda funny because the Whole high way was originally the Franciscans. Father Junípero Serra, a Franciscan, built the missions in the 17 hundreds. I just wanted to show it to you.



I love you both so much and can't wait to see you soon.

God bless you
Your sister in Christ

Your Back from Magic Mountain....

 ... though one wouldn't know it considering your silence.  

So I talked to Zephyr on Sunday and she had a good time  (starving and dying of thirst at the same time)  I haven't talked to Gryphon yet though I hoped to this evening. 
    So.... Pray for me .... I have a lot on my mind but I am not going to tell you what it is in case you get excited for no reason ... and no... its not about me coming up soon  (just thought I would say that to eliminate one of your guesses :)  
   Well... I hope to hear from you soon!
God bless you and have wonderful day
Your sister in Christ
~GUIN~

You'r off to Magic Mountain!!!

 Wow.... you are both off in some car driving along the 65 right now....I doubt that you are in Bakersfield yet... if you have left at all.  I think I am going to text you and see how your doing.  :)  I am so happy for you that you can have this great day at the 'park' with your friends... remember me when you praise God and ask him to answer my prayer.  I love you both.... oh thats right you won't see this until you get home so... I will test you and remind you to pray for me.  :)
God bless you both
Your sister in Christ
~GUIN~

Okay.. My last post was really funny (in my Opinion) ... and still no responce.

Dude.. Gryphon..

I just read a post from your Tumbler... Nov 2. entitled "so Gross!!!"..... That is So GROSS.. :b (that's supposed to a be a face sticking out its tong in disgust.) Did you seriously throw up in the sink??? Couldn't you have a little more self control?? I mean... I know it was gross and all but I can assure you (and anyone else reading) that throwing up in the sink sure didn't help.....

:
:
:
:
:......... lol.... I can't help but laugh.. it was so gross and I could picture you so well that I just have to laugh... lol.. I can just see you with your pencils.... . I can't stop laughing...... A foot and a half long Hair Ball.... GROSS...
Hahaha ...lol. I wish I was there so we could have had yet another unique experience together....lol... I don't think we would have used the camera ... we wouldn't want to remember it that well.

Anyways ... I thought that I would just comment your life a little bit.... lol.. I had no idea that sometime during the day when I was enjoying life you were two hours east of me pulling a foot and a half hair ball from your Bathroom drain..... once again... GROSS.

lol.. wow..
God bless you
Your sister in Christ and forever your companion in all matters, whether they be scary, enjoyable, stupid, random or hilariously funny and whether we be together or far apart,

Yeahhh

Haha, you didn't insult me....I was actually cracking up as I read your post. No, not because I think brain-damage is funny, but because you take everything so SERIOUSLY!!:)

And, I'm not sure how I would quickly acquire a crowbar, but I'm sure a baseball bat would do the trick.

Same story for whichever guys in your life feel like breaking your heart...or Gry's.

You probably think I'm trying to be macho or something, but I'm dead serious.

If someone were to harm my future child, I would harm them.

If someone breaks your heart, I WILL break their face.

But y'all probably shouldn't tell the guys in the future you are considering dating about this, because it might scare them away:) Gotta let the hook snag them and reel them in first:):)

So yeah:)

Don't worry, I don't expect the same from you. You both are strong(ish), just not buff...

And ok, lets face it: 5'3 and 5'4 are not very intimidating numbers;)


But hopefully I won't be forced to beat the crap out of your future loved ones, cause that would hurt their reputation, and be extremely embarrassing for them. And I just wouldn't want that, would I?
Cause I'd be *insert eyes rolling* so concerned about their feelings....

Anyways, I'm starting to freak myself out a little, so I'll stop going on and on and on about myself causing damage.

Love you both:)

Remember to pray for your future spouses

(no pun intended)

I've been trying to keep my future spouse in my prayers lately:)

But this really is NOT the post to talk about that, after what I just typed up there^So I'm shutting up now:)

~Love~

I am Glad to hear!

Really I am.  I am sorry for insulting you. I just couldn't take the chance if you were really serious.   Crowbar.... I believe you.   And I would be Cheering you on!... okay... I might not be cheering you on as I watched you preform some pretty detrimental work.. to say the least.  

   I am very glad to now that it was digitally edited.

I still don't think its funny
God bless you both.
Your sister in Christ
~GUIN~

Um dude?

The photo is photo-shopped...it's not like the dad really threw his baby 15 feet up into the air, and everyone stood there calmly, and they took a picture....

So cchhhhhiiillllllllll.....ok?

The baby is fine. The picture is fake. It was just a joke:)

And of course I'm never gonna throw my child around like that, and I would beat whoever tried to do that to my baby over the head with a crowbar, ok?

Gosh, you take everything so literally...loosen up a little, would ya'?:) And really, you gave me a link about brain damage? As if this was actually something I would do? That's a little degrading, thanks. I mean I know I have some...different ideas...but really??

So stop freaking out, the kiddo is fine! No brain damage occurred...in fact, said kid has probably never been more then 6 feet off the ground in its entire life.









I still think it was hilarious:)
Love you both.

..... I am sorry....

....but I don't think that is funny. No I am not sorry...... It has been proven that some Children who have had that done to them have often suffered brain damage and even trauma as an adult. The heads of babies and young children are heavy, and the neck muscles are not strong. What sometimes happens is that their brain gets disconnected from the cerebral cortex. The kids might laugh but the Children's hospital states that even though children may laugh and appear to be enjoying the toss, this activity could kill them.

I know that you may think this is extreme but common sense tells me, let a lone Professional Hospitals, that Fragile babies who's skulls are still soft, bones small and growing, and muscles undeveloped should not be thrown about like rag dolls whether the kid likes it or not. When and if you ever get married I really hope that you can keep your husband brothers/brothers-in-law and anyone from potentially damaging your young child.
Here is a link that I looked at and maybe you might find time.

http://hubpages.com/hub/Playfully-Tossing-A-Baby-Up-and-Down---Is-It-Harmful


I am sorry about being the 'kill joy' here about this photo. But next time you will have better luck with my "approval" ;)

I love you both so very much.

Now Here is a fun Picture

God bless you Abundantly
Your sister in Christ
~GUIN~

Super Funny!!:)

So I'm not sure if you have seen this one Guin, but I know Gry has. I thought it was hilarious! I practically peed myself laughing:)



Hmm, I don' think I have a phrase I use, or try to use all the time. That's probably cause I don't usually quote people. Unless if I'm making fun of them:p


You know, I actually read somewhere, that one of the primary signs of a girl liking a guy is when she copies him. Agreeing with what he said, taking a drink at the same time as him, etc. Quoting him. I was like..."Hmmm...I think I repeat pretty much everyone...but only when I'm playing around. Never subconsciously. Always on purpose. But when it comes down to whether I literally copy them or not...I don't think I do. I don't know, it made me think, but I'll stop now:)

It also said whatever about people having personal space, but I don't think any of my friends even know what that is.

Ok, bye!

Love you

Must go to church

Enough about boys, right?

Love you girlys:)

*Reply*

Yeah... so thanks for the help in improving my humility... Zephyr. Thanks for the compliments but seriously ... How do people with friends get to heaven?
So today mom and I spent most of all day at The church of St. Rose of Lima at a TOB (Theology Of the Body) Workshop for the confirmation kids and other individuals who were invited (me and mom for one.. two)
There went over a lot of ground, covering a lot touching a lot of basis. It is hard to remember everything and when I am at a live session I am a horrible note taker. Now online classes, videos, tapes and stuff like that... I am so there with notes.. I can pause things go back and write their exact notes...Just being at the desk helps with taking notes (organization and all that good stuff we learned in classes like RYAP and even Health,... didn't we love those?) But when it comes to taking notes in live and personal setting ... you've lost me. I am not a great a multitasker... if you ever noticed... so when trying to get the first point down on paper I miss the full meaning of the second point due to my concentration of still dwelling on the first and because of the dilemma of being caught between the first and second point... I entirely miss the third point which is just as important if not more so then the proceeding two (the punch line you could call it.) There's my issues with note taking in a nut shell..... I really like that phrase ... 'in a nut shell' I always forget to use it when I can ... I am not so sure that it really works where I chose to put it but like I said... I always forget to use so when I remember ... I like to use it.

So what about you... is there a phrase that you like that you forget to use and when you remember it might not be the best place to use it but you say it anyways because of the affection you have for that term/phrase?

Tomorrow we are going to an All Saints Day party. I will have to tell you all about it when I get home.... Oh by the way.... I am not sure when I will be getting home so if I don't call you tomorrow night its not necessarily that I forgot, it might be that I am driving home for Orchid (an Hour and half drive) with a family, praying the rosary or sleeping ... hint hint.... Basically I can't call you in the car.
What are you doing on Monday?
I don't remember that I have anything planed for Monday.

Well I have to get up early tomorrow morning.
I love you both... keep in touch
God bless you abundantly tonight and tomorrow.. and well... always
Your sister in Christ
~Guin~

Of course I think you're daring:)

You are one of the most daring people I know! Yelling at the guy who broke in the house instead of freaking out, playing guitar on the side of the road when that really cute dude drove by, now chillin' on train tracks with your sister....you are a daring and courageous girl:)

And you and Angela look awesome in the pictures:)

I just don't have anything to say about me, so I haven't been posting:)

So I'm sorry for not posting and telling you how amazing you are. Cause you are amazing-one of the most amazing people I know. Probably THE most amazing person I know. I've known you for over 11 years, so I'm pretty sure I know what I'm talking about.

And you're beautiful. Just look in a mirror:)

ok, I'm, going way off topic, cause you already know all this stuff:)

Sorry for not posting

Love ya';)

Soo... where did everyone go?

Ahhh... I know you love me. But it is a little ..lonely here all by myself.
So??? do you like the pictures? Aren't Angela and I daring? Sitting there... on the tracks of an express train... laughing at the threat of danger that we know we can out smart by our mere will to live! Well... okay... its just an Amtrak passenger train ... BUT still... its a train with a powerful engine .. and a load whistle that warns of its approach. Okay so not as daring as I first made off. We had a lot of fun. :)

I love you both
God bless you abundantly

what a great picture...

You look great in that picture.  I think that we all look pretty good in that orange rust color but your hair has always looked awesome with that sweater.  
  Well thats great about my picture.  I was telling someone that i need to get myself a web-sight and put my good pictures up just as the start to my 'professional' career. :)
  Thanks for sharing the photo.  
 Christin .. I am praying for you.  I know that you are off taking your test. 
"Hail Mary full of grace the Lord is with you, blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. Holy Mary Mother of God pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death."
   I love you and so does the Mother of God.

So...i wanted to show you my most recent picture....

I haven't seen any pictures of me since Steubenville (still haven't seen the ones from El Capitan), so I wanted to show you this one!

But thats obviously not the only reason I want you to see it;)

I really want you to see it cause its on MY ID!!!!!! I finally have one!!!! And I don't look great, but I love it:) So here you go:

I'm so happy!! (And i needed a good reason to post)
I know you've seen it Gry, but you get to see it again anyways!:)

Love you guys:)

<3Z<3

Oh also, Guin: I put the picture of my reflection that you took at Steubenville up on my bigthink profile...so your photography skills are being shown off...and I've gotten a compliment on it from a kid in history already:)

LOVE YOU BOTH!

K-LOVE - Jason Gray "More Like Falling In Love" LIVE

James is off on his lunch break so I thought I would grab the computer when I had the chance.

He is going to have to be getting back on soon so I don't have much time.

I am glad that you like the picture Gryphon! I will have to email some others to you but I like I said above, my time is limited.

We got "Padre Pio: The Miracle man" in the mail from netflix today. I am hoping that we can watch it tonight.

I hope every thing is going well today for both of you! I am living in a delama due some Scrap-booking difficulties. I don't have enough of one colored paper to finish the two pages... but I already started the first one. The event that I am scrap-booking is when I went to Pismo with Mrs. Haley Last year in June. You can look up my posts I made when I was there and when I got back.

I have been listening to K-Love~ alot lately in y room and always in the car. A song that has been introduced to me through that station is "More like falling in love" by Jason Gray.
Jason Gray has a great voice that he gives glory to God by. I was able to relate to these lyrics and give praise to God while listening to the song.
So in Support of K-Love and Jason Gray and because I wanted to share this song I have posted a video for to listen to and watch... but I really encourage you to just close your eyes and make this song your prayer and meditate on the words.

I love you all
God bless you and have a good day!

A Good Night thought

Girls I had a wonderful time in Porterville this last weekend! I loved seeing all of my friends on Saturday at the parties and on Sunday at Church and the gathering afterward.
Congratulations Christin!!! You succeeded in your play!! You were beautiful and amazing.
Out of all the pictures I took of you in the play I like this one the best.
I have to go to Ved now
I love you

'Friday night'

Today I heard the Words "Slow down before today turns into tomorrow" while listening to a song on K-love.
How true are these words. No matter what we are excitingly waiting for around the bend.. around the next sunrise, we can't forget to find the blessings of THIS day, the mysterious that we can solve and the lessons that we can learn and even teach. So... take some advise and learn a lesson...

SLOW DOWN...
before today turns into tomorrow.

God bless all

Your sister in Christ

Guin

Friday... the day before Saturday.

Each Friday falls before a Saturday so much so that one may come to the folly of thinking that it is ordinary and that nothing special can occur through the event. If someone comes to this point they must quickly be reminded of the individuality and specialness of each day. A day is never repeated... some might wish to change this fact some point in their life but I think that the majority of the time we are relieved that the sun rises a new every morning and sets every evening.. to give the stars their turn to give glory to God..... to give us our turn to give glory to god for the stars... the stars are always burning with light giving glory to god :)
Tomorrow is special in it's individuality because of going to Porterville and celebrating life with my friends and because of the special and new graces God and all of the Church Triumphant will pour down upon her children. :)
I love you girls so much. :) I am very excited about going to see "The Town"... Christin's play. Break a leg darling :)
I have to go now and get the day rolling at a little faster rate. I hope to get a scrap-book page in today.
God bless you
Your sister in Christ

♪ ♪♫ I am HOooME ♫ ♫ ♪

I am home and am coming to see you in a week and ahalf!
I can't wait to see you and talk to you!
I can't let this post get to long because mom has to start school,and now that I don't have my own computer due to having to send one of the computers back, so I have to get out of their way.
Maybe if all works out I can call you girls tonight.
It is so good to be home. I will miss Clara exceedingly, especially since I grew closer to her through the month. It is going to be nice now because I know where she lives and how she lives so I can now envision her and her life. All of the sisters of the Trinitarians of Mary are lovely and kind.
I will tell you all more about it later.

Zypher!!! That sounds like so much fun!! Riding horses and visiting with her cousins. The girl you met... was a friend of your cousins or did you just meet and she invited you to go riding?? Tell me tell me.
You are very right Zyph, It was very nice to come into my email and the blog and see messages that had been posted in my absence.
Thank you girls for your love and friendship.

I will talk to you soon and see you a little later.
God bless you
Your sister in Christ
Guin

P.S. I haven't even looked at Christin's blog but I have a feeling that it will take me forever to catch up on. ... Am I right? ;)

Word is you're coming home soon!:)

I've given up on getting Gry to post btw:)

But I know you're headed home soon Guin!! I miss talking to you so much!! This place (the blog) is deserted feeling, and my inbox (email) is far to empty:)

I really miss you girl! Hurry home:)

Z

Ok, its official: I'm talking to myself. *pokes Gry*

You know, Guin in gone and probably misses us as much as we miss her. Don't you think itd be nice if we had a few posts for her to read when she came back? Something that shows how much we miss her?

I'm trying to encourage you to post...is it working?

I went to Ethos tonight, which was basically an adoration, with confessions, which is great cause I felt so clean afterwords. Now I'm eating crackers and drinking water out of a quart-sized jelly jar:)

I miss you both again cause Gry's at practice, and Guin's at Mexico...see I really am talking to myself. That's sad....*pokes Gry*

Ok, I'll quit, but I love you both a bunch:)

Z

Why does it feel like I'm talking to myself?

Probably because I am:) Just a random guess...

I'm home from Idaho, it was awesome. I went horseback riding with a girl I met there, which was really fun:) I visited with my aunt, uncle, and 3 cousins, all whom I haven't seen in a while.

It was a long days travel there and back:) On the way there, it was 10 hours of actual traveling (being in a plane or in the car), and 14 hours if you counted the in-between stuff (waiting at the airport, stopping to eat and stretch, getting our rental car) and on the way back it about the same.

I currently really miss both of you, cause one of you is out of country and the other is at Grandma's. I think you know who's, who;)

Love you guys a lot:):)


Moi

Post #378!!!

Hey Girls!:)

I'm in Idaho on Grandmas laptop, it's 10:04 at night, I'm watching 'The Sound of Music', and waiting for Cody to call me back at the same time:) I went horseback riding today and it was awesome but now I'm really sore:/ haha but it was worth it.

Today is Jennifers Birthday, so Happy Birthday and God Bless her:)

Thats all I'm gonna say for now, but i love you guys so much!!!!

Moi:)

:)

That would be so cool Morgan, if you could actually meet them.  I bet that you will be albe to since they live in Porterville.  Hopefully Mrs. Varner will do another student outing, like Starbucks or something (JAMBA juice!) After you get to know them you could even invite to Youth Group...  what am I saying... you probably already have  :)   lol...
  So this will be my last post of the month due to the fact that I leaving tomorrow morning for Mexico. I will be back at the very end of this month.   In the meantime I will post some pictures of our Last Adventure so that you will not be bored.... not that me not posting will make you bored  :) 
 

So school started...

School started on monday...its been crazy and very busy. But it gives us something to do, right?

I met these 2 guys in homeroom, they're both freshman, and the both play guitar (I know one plays bass, but I'm not sure about the other one.) Their names are Gage and Dustin (Gage is 13, I don't know about Dustin yet) and all three of us are becoming fast friends...would you like to hear the best part about this? They BOTH LIVE IN PORTERVILLE! Woo! So maybe I'll actually get the chance to meet them:) Aside from them, no one else (that I know of) in our homeroom lives here. So yeah!

Thats all I can think of right now, I love you both, but I tihnk you have that figured out by now:)

Z^^

OHHHHHH!!!!

Those are so cute!!!   Way to go Girl!!!  What a great find, savings and basically.... Treasure!!!!  $6 for that skirt???  All under $2.50???   WOW... I congratulte you for your succesful shopping. 
   I LOVE the shirt!  Would it fit?   the hat is so very cute. you should wear it to youth group next week alond with your new shirt.  You whould so totally wear your new skirt to mass on sunday night.  the shirt will match really well with the skirt... though you did say that it is a different color brown than what the picture shows.

   Life has been very tiring this last week.  Sinse Monday we have ben painting and unpacking in the new house.  I can't wait tell you girls see it.  Well I think that I am going to get out of this uncomfortable chair and put my feet and read a book  .... Louise L'Amore... sounds good right now.

God Bless you all!
Remember that Life isn't fair, but it's still good  (even great at times)  

~GUIN~

So guess what I bought?!?!?!

I just wanted to inform you about my latest purchase at Maurices.

Actually, I'll try to post pictures:)
1. Military Jacket2. Beret. (This isn't exactly like it, but it was the closest picture I could find.)


A skirt. (This is very similar except for mine is a lot lighter brown and there isn't lace on the bottom of mine. I bought it cause it was originally $24 on sale for $6)

Isn't that cool? And you wanna hear the best part?

Remember the striped shirt with the strings on the sides that I wore to El Capitan? Yeah, that plus all these only cost me $2.70 cause my neighbor gave us those gift cards. Pretty sweet if you ask me:)

The big down side is that I'm completely broke:( So no more shopping for me, 'til I get some money...

Love you guys

Moi:)

P.S. I think I might be plagiarizing by posting these pictures, but I'm not sure if I am or not. So if I am...sorry!

Just a heads up!

Hey girls!   I am at Colleens house right now so am unable to post any pictures from our camping trip.

Our Annual El Capitan camping/beach trip was AMAZiNG  like it is usually.  Getting there on Sunday and leaving on Thursday we had a marvelous five days.  The camping was great the beach awesome, the games fun, and the company amazing.  I loved hanging out with my blog sisters taking pictures with them and just talking  ..oh... and fishing.    I had a marvelous time playing Frisbee on the beach  ( I love that game,... and I am getting better) with mom and Christopher, I also played Frisbee with Hannah and Zachary.  I got a better tan than I had before going camping so thats good.    I took some great pictures that will go nicely in my portfolio folder (on the computer).   Seeing the dolphins and seals in the ocean was so fun!  The dolphins and seals both came so close to the shore,  So Close in fact that my older brother Christopher was in the middle of the pod of seals!  On Thursday we went down to the beach for the last time (we were leaving that afternoon) I played Frisbee with mom and Christopher then went to take a breather.  All the while that we were down there we were watching a pod of seals and a flock of birds (seagulls and pelicans mostly)that were going up and down the cost obvisouly following a school of fish.  Once in a while a few dolphins would appear.  At one point the seals and dolphins were in really close but farther down the coast then were Christopher was.   The pod and flock would come in then go out leave and then come back.   Christopher was a good ways out there when the seals made another appearance far a way but pretty close.  Well I guess the fish made a dart towards the cost and little south because the seals just started coming towards Chistopher. Those things can move fast and in no time they were around Christopher jumping and diving. He was in the middle of their pod.  One big seal jumped right behind him, almost over him.  He said that he saw them beneath him and that one touched his leg.  He told us that it was "kinda nerve racking" and that he had his legs curled up to his boogie board.   It was amazing to watch.   By watching the pod of seals all those four days especially being on the beach I can see why long ago when people weren't so used to things being able to be explained that people thought that there were monsters out in the ocean. The pod of seals looks as in a monster or two was out there going in and out of the water.  The seals jumping out of the water and back in, twenty out of the water at once and more under the water, often looks like a sea creature.
  So we had our excitement this year and look forward to what lay ahead next year.   
I will be home tomorrow afternoon and have that evening (if even that ) to rest up for the next week... moving completely into the new house.  On Monday Mrs. Risvold and Zachary are coming up for the day to help us with stuff that needs to be done. Zachary is staying at our house until Thursday when James has a orthodontist appointmen. On Monday I will hopefully start the process of painting my room.  Mom already has gotten fun accessorys for Anne C. and my bedroom.
I hope that you girls can come and see my house soon. I know that with school starting that probably wont happen but one can always hope and pray.
I love you girls so much
God bless you
Your sister in Christ
~!Guin!~

P.S.   The internet at my house isn't working so don't get mad if I don't email you back.  Maybe I can go to the libary on Tuesday if it still isn't working.

Just plain cool.

*Guin*

oh that video is so cool!

Embrace Life - always wear your seat belt

"This is the new "wear your seatbelt" ad the UK is doing - started by some guy not hired to do it, but because the cause is important to him, he came up with this idea, and now it's being hailed across the world as a beautiful commercial ...And now the video has become so popular with the general public that people are forwarding it to friends/family on their own so quickly that it has spread all over the world in a very short time."






This is an amazing video! I watched it three times and wanted to watch it more. I wanted to start crying at the end. I think it's because of the love that you see on their faces.
I hoped you enjoyed.

whatever zephyr, sorry shes just beating me down for not posting, but i still read it:/ anyways i'm so excited we're gonna see Guin in what? 2 days? well less then that even! ahhhhhh can't wait<3

Glad to know that your listening :)

That would be a great idea Zephyr!
Do you have a camera that you are bringing to El Capitan?
Dad is outside packing up the car for camping right now. I am all finished packing (unless I think of something else to bring... I think that is pretty impossible since I am already two bags and have the majority of the rest of my stuff in boxes)

Anne C., Mom and I have been talking about the colors that we are going to paint our room. The colors we are using are Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue and Pink. We are trying to figure out were each color will be and what designs and decoration will look great. I am so excited about my new room because I have never had a 'cool' painted room. Another thing that will be fun is that we have the bed covers that will match the paint job.. actually the pain job will match the bed covers.
I would take a picture of my outline for the paint colors but my camera is already packed in a bag that will not close again if I open it now. :s

Well that's about it for now.. EXCEPT... My Bracelet fell off... my band.. whatever you want to call it. IT is GONE. I don't even know when if fell off. I looked down at my wrist today after coming home from mass and was like "It's gone" And mom said "Hey I didn't notice it yesterday either" So basically I was walking around yesterday and maybe even father in the past and didn't even know that I had lost my pride and joy.. :( No more contest. Gee Wiz... what are they making these things out off. My wrist band from Magic Mountain was paper and it lasted 6MONTHS. This lasted like what. ..? 3weeks. Lousy. Well. I guess that makes me the one man out. What about you girls... do you still have yours on?
I guess you can tell everyone at youth group that I am out.
Well... I guess thats it for now... unless I think of something else to say.

I don't have anything at the moment.

I love you so much girls.
God bless you
Your sister in Christ
~Guin~

Just so you know, I do read the blog daily:)

I know I haven't said anything in a while on here, but I DO read it everyday. I think it would be cool if each of us posted something about the camping trip after we get back, and included pictures and stuff.

Love you both so so so much!!!

Getting off with a busy start

So with Moving and Camping moving up on me like a tsunami I find myself ... not knowing what to say.
I still feel unable to untangle the knot that somehow has taken up residence in that place where my mind is supposed to be. But it is getting better, either my mind is going back to normal or I am just adjusting.
This Camping Trip is going to be amazing! I hope that everyone is full of the Holy Spirit and open to his movement. I think that so often people forget that the Holy Spirit can move outside of the church, outside that environment of church friends (which is all amazing) I forget that the Holy Spirit moves in ALL aspects of our life and that he uses all sorts of experiences, events, circumstance and people to teach us... it is up to us to listen to our teacher and learn the lessons. I have been thinking lately that everyone has a lesson to teach to somebody and that we all need lessons to be taught to to us, whether by our best friends, the homeless guy on the corner, the cashier at Wal*Mart, our siblings, the guys at church or our own parents. It is is my firm belief that lessons are a lot easier to teach than to learn. It often takes humility to learn a lesson and I personally don't have it and don't see much of it around in our present culture. It is so hard to form and cultivate any virtue that our society discourages or just plains ignores. It is so wonderful to have support in your life especially in our Catholic faith. With family and friends to love you and help you up when you fall it is easier to pursue your vocation, given to you by Christ, not because it becomes easier but because you have more examples of love and hope all around you that reflect the love that Christ, our God and Father, has for us and it makes worth while. We see that the pain isn't for nothing.. that there is a purpose to everything that God asks us to go through.
HOPE. Lord.. help me to never lose hope. LOVE. Lord... let me love as you love.

FAITH. Lord... Give me that faith as small as the muster seed that I may please you.



God bless all!!

Guin

Stuebenville was GREAT

Has my title says... Steubenville, San Diego was GREAT. Steubenville San Diego is a catholic conference put on by the Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio.


Established in 1976.

Serving over 36,000 youth and their leaders each year.

19 conferences across the United States and Canada.
It is an amazing time of coming to know Christ in a more intimate way and therefore understanding more about oneself. , which is very helpful in all stages of life. It is a time of fellowship with others from your community who share similar desire to know what "this is all about" meaning their Catholic Faith and their Lives.
Most everyone's highlight from over the weekend is Adoration on Saturday night. This Year my Highlight ... my thrill.. was seeing my sister Clara who is a Sister in the order of The Trinitarians of May. The Order is there every year helping with preparing for mass, feeding people. They have a booth in the bookshop and they have the Adoration Chapel which is open all through the Week end.
I can't explain in detail all about Steubenville because it would take forever and I will be playing "Rummy" with my little sister after she is done with cleaning the kitchen (the card game "Rummy"). I really encourage you to look into going to Steubenville San Diego or any other conferences that Steubenville puts on through the country, either with your youth group or your family. God to this web sight to see where the Conferences are being held →http://www.franciscanyouth.com/

After Steubenville I stayed in Porterville until Friday. I went to Youth Group on Wednesday and then to a FOP/Benediction (FOP=Festival Of Praise) on Thursday which had dinner and games outside afterward. I played Frisbee (which I happened to do really well that night with) and others played Volley Ball.
I love it in Porterville. I never want to leave my friends.. that are family. I love everyone there so much. I of course want to come home to my family. I love being home but I am now torn.. I feel as if I have two homes. Both Beautiful ...but one being more comfortable and at ease.. the other being simply the place that God wants me to be.
Well... I need to go.


God bless you all


~Guin~

Packing today!

Hey girls! I am about to start packing! woooottt wooottt... as Christin would say :)

Love you like you would never believe.
God bless you
I will see you tomorrow ..YEAHHHH (*screaming* ... if you didn't know)

Love and Prayers
Your sister in Christ
Guin

lol.. I know.

Hi Zephyr

I know that you miss me. I just had a .. moment.. I guess. Name it what you will.
You girls are praying for me .. aren't you.. that I will will be better by like... Wednesday??????

It is almost here!!! Steubenville, San Diego!!!!! and... I am SICK! .. that's not a good exclamation point .. just for your information.
But... that's okay... I have emailed Mrs. Varner and Kayla to pray for me and along with both of you and my family and all the saints... which I assume are my side ( I hope that's not to presumptuous of me) ... I will be fine.
I guess I should call you to plan on the plans.
Well I am going to go rest some more in the cooler part of the house.
Christin I saw your post on your Tumbler.... I miss you too :)

God bless you both
Love and Prayers
Your sister in Christ
Guin

LOL! OF COURSE WE MISS YOU!!!!

How could we not miss you?!?!

I was kinda waiting for Christin to reply because you asked her about the comment, and it would be the last thing she read, then she would remember and give you an answer...but she never did. So I didn't write back either.

You know I always miss you when you are gone, but me missing you while you're at home, and me missing you while you are at colleens has pretty much the same effect: you're still a long ways away AND I miss you a lot:) So you being at colleens is fun and cool and everything, but I already miss you, so it doesn't really change much...do you get it? (Side note: I know it's very different for you though)

But on the very, extremely, intensely bright side, YOU'RE COMING UP FOR STUEBENVILLE SOON!! WOO!!

P.S. Can you e-mail us days you plan on coming up and leaving so I can work it out it mom. I already told her what I thought we were doing, but could you clarify it? Thanks:)

I <3 u so much!

TTYL

^Zephyr^

Soooo... I guess not... miss me I mean.

Seriously ... that was 11 DAYS AGO and NOT A WORD from either of you!!!!

COME ON!!!!!

don't think that just because I am away from home that I am not going to be in-tune with my best friends.




You must have thought.


WHAT?... you so totally thought something or else you would have said something by now.... anything..... just even.... "hi"







I am cool. Just pretending to play the part of the "pretend to be ticked off friend but really not" person.




Did I pull it off?


See ya soon (like... next week !!!!) and see a message from you on the blog really soon.... I hope.

God bless
Your sister and friend in Christ like.... forever


GUIN

Will you miss me?

I am leaving with my family tomorrow for Tehachapi. We will spending the 4th of July with Colleen and her family. On maonday we will be going up to June Lake to spend a few days in the big cabin that my uncles built. During that time I will probably have access to a computer and even if I do, I will not be downloading any pictures on to it. You will have to wait until I get back to see my pictures. I hope that they will be improved from the last pictures that I took. I always like to improve and June Lake will most likely be very picturesque. :)

I will be staying with Colleen after we come back and spend a few more days with her. I believe that we will go up to Pasadena to be with Angela and pray with my cousins.
Angela and Margaret will be coming with us to June Lake and maybe even two of my cousins, Elisa and Andrew (they are Margaret and Angela's age).
Pray that my family will be safe on this trip and that we will be filled with the Holy Spirit.

I love you both so much that you will never now!!
I will see you at the end of this month. !!!!!!!!!!!
God bless you
Your sister in Christi
~Guin~

P.S. So ummmm..... What was your comment meant to say?

I looked.... there wasn't any comment.

Guin go read my comment on your last post.

....

SO I am coming to the conclusion that my life is becoming a delema. 
Yes I am serious.... okay I might be dramatizing just a little bit, but seriously. I feel like a puddle that wants to some how get to the ocean but will never get big enough to flow.
What does God want of me?  What do I want of myself?

I want to be passiontate about something like I see other people be.   Everyone one I know is passionate about something .. I feel so lukewarm in everything.
 Christin and Morgan are passionate about their instruments that they play... not a day goes by that they don't play them or at least think of them.   Shannon is passionate about running and soccer, Bailey is great with the drums, Stephanie is passionate about marriage ( she as informed me that she will be getting ingaged in ... was it this August .. don't mention that I said that ;)  ).... Angela is just passionate about life in general.
Basically... I want to be sure of what I want... I want to want something. I want to know what I want. I want to be able to throw myself into something that I am happy doing and that I don't feel burdened by.  I know that I love horses but I guess I am looking for something else... I want something that I can't quit put my finger on.     Well... I guess what I really want to be passionate about is my Faith.   Passionate about God.  I want to want to love Him with my whole heart.  I want to want to Pursue Him with everything in me... but to be totally honest... I am afraid of what he will do.... I am afraid of I will not do.  You read stories of the lives of the saints and other people who have accomplished to the best of their ability loving God with their whole hearts.  I want to make Christ as happy as they did but I am so selfish with myself.  I keep thinking that "being holy isn't that fun"  but I am so wrong ... that is a temptation from satan. ... Just look at the saints... they were so happy.   Happy, helping others, whether it was with food, clothing. Whether it was helping the sick or others needing physical help or it was in the quit of a monestary praying for the body of Christ and the whole world.    They pursued Christ..... I want to do that.. but it is so hard sometimes and yet... it is often so simple.    Just one step at a time I guess..... I just have to make sure that I am not taking one step forward and two steps back.
As Coldplay says in their song "The Scientist"  "Nobody said is was easy, no one ever said that it would be so hard"




Well.. I have done my venting for day.    Now I will go and organize my room, cleaning up school notebooks, papers and books of all kinds, make my bed of course, hang up clothes in my closet that are hanging of my lamp right now, dust my dusty dresser and all that other good stuff... I will probably vacuum my room as well sometime today.   I hope I can get a scrap-book page done today. 
I was thinking yesterday that I should be like the Millers and change my room around some just for a little change.... Well I looked around and found that the room's furniture was already in the most logical and pleasant place.  I guess I will just have to be content with a clean room as my change.


  Remember to always pray for me especially as I discern about what Vocation that God has placed in my heart.   I pray for both of you girls everyday at mass and unit myself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, present in the Eucharist, so that we can be close.


I love you
God bless you
Your sister in Christ
