Gummi Magic

Okay, so who has ever seen a 26 lb. Gummi Bear? Well, you have now:



AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now let's compare.....



I got one of those ones on a stick (thanks Cass!!) and it's great. When I showed my mom she just looked at me with a disgusted look and was like "do you really want to put that in your body?" and I was like "What? It's just made of butterflies and rainbows and sparkly masses that orbit the universe! HECK YEAH!!!!". I have some pics of me biting it's head off (violent, I know) that i'll post later....

Really like the way the 3rrr website has been changed.....chekc it out! 3rrr.org  I want to do a duathlon on April 14th, but my mom thinks I won't be able to becuase of my injuries :( It's a 2.5 miles run, 10 mile bike ride, then another 2.5 miles of running. AH! PURE AWESOMNESS!!! I guess we're leaving it up to my PT.....crossing my fingers!

For those who haven't heard the newer Casting Crown's song "Just Another Birthday" It's really good. A new fav. Here's the music video:


Behind the song:




Here's a passage I recently read that I'm going to memorize....

Philippians 2:4-11 (NASB)

"4 Do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. 5 Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. 8 Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
Some food for thought, got to tell you that :) Really good stuff to think about....

I Love the Weekend

Alrighty, it's been a while since my last post....psych :)


Fabruary 4th we went to a Bebo Norman (my 3rd) concert with special guest Adam Cappa....one word to describe Adam Cappa: AWESOME!!! A new fav.....his music has real meaning that's not just some cheasy lyrics with a bunch of guitar (although there is some good guitar). Check him out...if your like Abandon (another one of my favs), you'll like him. If you've never heard of either...shame on you! His website: http://adamcappa.com/ He's got an AWESOME voice :) I really love his songs Washed Over Me and All I Really Want (both on the playlist). He's coming back in OR w/ Jeremy Camp, Kutless, and Matt Maher. Inifo: http://jeremycamp.com/tour (it's on August 18). I'm sooo going! Only 3 hrs, 40 minutes away!




Well, Carlie is officially playing for the symphony! She got her dress and had her photo shoot for the newspaper...March 10th! All my peeps should come! The symphony will also be playing another (maybe 2...not sure) song that Carlie says is really cool....so it will be fun.


Good news! I can start running again....yaaa! Well, only 1/2-3/4 mile, but still...it's progress :) I love my Nike+ app....great! Speaking of running, there's this awesome 5K where at random (maybe marked...not sure) spots in the race, they have collored paint or something like that spray out at you form the side...so at the end, you just look like a magical rainbow. It's AWESOME! It's called the color run (haha...that was sarcastic laughter). Watch this preveiw vid...it's come near us! Maybe i'll run it someday.... :)








Another running thing: these awesome running tights that show all the muscles of you legs., like it's your leg's w/o the skin....here's a pic:






I'm really considering these....just kidding. Well, the again I can practice identifying muscles :) SO maybe i will. Except they're $75....yikes. IDK.....


Alrighty, let's get some excitment up in here...how 'bout some cool facts? Here we go....

A crocodile can't stick its tongue out

When you sneeze, your heart stops for a millisecond

It is physically impossible for pigs to look up into the sky

Rats and horses can't vomit

If you sneeze too hard, you can fracture a rib. If you try to suppress a sneeze, you can rupture a blood vessel in your head or neck and die. If you keep your eyes open by force, they can pop out

A duck's quack doesn't echo, and no one knows why

Cat's urine glows under a black-light

Like fingerprints, everyone's tongue print is different

It is impossible to lick your elbow

and last but not least...


Over 75% of people who read this will try to lick their elbows!
(gotcha, didn't I? LOL...)



Can't wait for Britt's CD, Gold! Coming out March 27th! Whoot whoot!
Well, post more later.

They look better in person....the pictures stink. Still, I know i'm not that good but I still love drawing! :) I think because of my love of drawing I could bcome a much better artist. I plan on learning how to paint soon.

On Tuesday, my brother Ben had a bball game....they lost :( To "The Club" (The Boys and Girls club). It was kind of cool becuase I think it was their first win. Ever. :P The funny thing is we crushed them all of our other games, scoring about twice as much as them. But the finals score was 39-34. :( The best shot was when one of the guys on our team, Jacob, shot the ball just as the timer to end the game went off and made it :) It was almost a three-pointer, but it was super cool anyway :P

So, for you Hunger game fans, Answer the poll to the right. :) But also for those who have an FB account and are "obsessed", you're going to love this website: http://thecapitol.pn/ Here's their FB link: http://www.facebook.com/TheCapitolPN I wish I had FB :(

Sad news....my grandparents had to put their dog, Summer, down on Monday because of kidney failure. :'( So sad. She was a yellow lab and was 9 years old. She had had a tumor on one of her paws and had to have one of her toes (who knew dogs had toes?!?!) amputated, but she got used to it soon and could walk/run just fine. I think they knew it was coming soon, but we're all still super sad. I only got to see her when we visited them in the summer of 2009 for a few weeks. She was great....

Well, not much to tell......untill next time. Double rainbows all the way! Yeah, yeah ah ah ah!! :P
