Getting Ready For Christmas

Hiya everyone!! How is everyone? I'm sorry I haven't been blogging very much....I have been meaning to, but just haven't.

So, we got our Christmas tree, ( yes, it's a real one)I think about a week ago....and put a lot of decorations....it's being weighed down right now, poor thing. =D
Sadly, it only has a few presents under it :(
Robbie put his present under it for me...it is pretty big....and... HE WONT EVEN LET ME TOUCH IT!! Mean isn't it!? He says, "It's very fragile!" I say, "I can't even pick it up to guess?!" He says, "Nope!" Pure torture...

A friend of mine, Ellen, and I are going to play Silent Night on violins for our Christmas program at our Church...Please pray it goes well! =)

Hmm....let's see...I don't have much else to say, learly...but don't worry! I'll post more later! God bless!

Visit Peter

Hiya! Today (Tuesday) we went to go see Peter. He has a hospital bed and all the other things he needs in their family living room. When we first got into the room, his head wasn't facing us. His eyes were wide open though. We all went close by his bedside. Mr.Helms had to hold his head up for a minute, put Peter's glasses on, then he put a cloth under his neck to where his head was facing us. He looked at all of us with wide eyes. He didn't seem like the old Peter...I knew he would be different, but, yeah. Micah got upset at seeing him that way, so he felt like he was going to throw up...so he went to their bathroom. Then, Colton went out as well a little later. Robbie played his song for Peter on his guitar, which I think Peter enjoyed. Then, after his song was over, mommy went to go check on Colton and Micah. Mr.Helms asked me if I wanted to talk to Peter...I didn't know really what to do. I just kind of shrugged my shoulders. He said "It's okay, you don't have to." as he looked at Peter and tried to make him comfortable.
Peter seemed pretty tired. Mommy came back, and after a while of all of us just kind of looked at him. Peter acted like he was trying to get up or something. He started moving his arms and shoulders. Then Mr.Helms said :It's okay Peter, it's okay" Then, Peter started making this growling noise from his trach, and making an angry-like face. Andrew (Peter's oldest brother) said "Wow Peter, Calm down." With a laugh. Then they said they had to suction his trach, so we left.
It felt a little scary...I was shaking some of the time. =/ But, I'm glad we got to go see him! Keep up the prayers please!
God Bless!

Guitar

Hiya people! I might be learning guitar! Robbie would have to teach me since I don't know a thing about guitar!! I hope I will like it enough to stick with it! I know, violin, piano and NOW guitar! I know....but, I like how it sounds, and I don't mind giving it a try. :D I just hope I will be patient enough to learn all I need to learn!
The Catechism class is going really well! We have another test NEXT WEEK!! I am going to do really bad on it like I did the last one! Please be praying that it will all go well.
Halloween....is SOOO STUPID! Almost ALL of our neighbors are decorating their yards with a lot of dead things! Very creepy! We saw this one yard one time as we were driving by, and the WHOLE yard looked like a graveyard! It was...yuck!
Usually a house in our neighborhood invites the whole neighborhood (almost) to come to this Halloween party...and they send them into the neighborhood on a scavenger hunt to find dumb things. And we have some million dollar tracks and we will probably hand them out so people will actually take them!

Well, hope that wasn't TOO boring to you! Thanks for reading! God Bless!

Fall and what's happenin'

Do you like my fall decorated blog? Is it too much? Fall is one of my favorite seasons! It's great:)

Well, nothing too exciting has been happening really. But, since it's getting cooler, I'll be able to ride Spirit more! :D Which, I hope he enjoys as much as I will.

A friend at my Church is letting me borrow their Lord Of The Rings movies. I have watched all but the third one, which I'll probably watch tonight or tomorrow night. They are pretty cool...a little creepy, but I like them. Everyone says it is really dark, but I don't find it too bad. I would maybe prefer to read the books, 'cause then you don't see the creatures :) My friends say the books are better, and that I should have read them first..but I didn't =/

The Catechism class is going well. Mr. Helms (my wonderful Pastor) has been gone for two weeks because him and his family are in Dallas for Peter. So we have had someone else teaching us. He's great :D Since Robbie and I wen't to a Remedy Drive concert on Wednesday night instead of Church for the Catechism ( I know, we are heathens :D ) then the other man teaching just gave Robbie and me the first test to take home, and I will study a lot today, and take it tonight or tomorrow. Then we have to bring our tests to Church Sunday.

Well, that's all I have for you! Sorry my life is so boring! :D God bless and have a great week!

Remedy Drive~

The Rebedy Drive concert was great! Very, very loude...but great! :) They had two bands before as opening bands. I don't remember the first band's name but they were not good in my opinion! The next band was called Sixteen Cities. They were great! The singer's name I forgot.. =/ But I went to go meet him after the concert and he seemed really sweet.
Dave (the singer of Remedy Drive) was standing on things flipping and everything! It was a little weird, but cool too. I really enjoyed it! So did Robbie and his friend David! We met all the Rebedy Drive team! :) They were cool! I also bought a shirt that you will see in these pictures....




And then here is the singer of Sixteen Cities... the one with the blonde spiked hair...


We were taking my friend Hannah home from the concert, and, we (My mother, Hannah and me) were talking how it is sad how a lot of Christian rock bands are becoming very secular. In the way they sing, how they appear...as in piercings, tattos, a lot of make up or weird hair cuts...and it is just really sad... So, it's hard not to find true Christian bands sometimes.

I will be posting some more pictures from the concert on my photography blog. Well, that's all for now! God bless and have a great day!

New Stuff~

I know what you are thinking, it seems like years in beetween posts....sorry about that!

My older brother and I have started this new Catechism class at our Church. Actually, I could have posted this quite a while ago, considering we have been going to it for three weeks. But, oh well... It is a really good class! There is quite a bit to memorize but, it's still fun. I have learned a lot about Christ. :) I am very thankful. :D

My older brother my mother, and I are going to go to a concert this up coming Wednesday! By Remedy Drive:D One of the coolest bands! And, it'll be my first concert! Robbie is really excited about it as well (of course). He said to me today, "Poor Emily, I wont be able to drive you to your first concert." :D Wich would be so cool if he could...but Mother will not let him. =/
I hope it isn't too crowded!

Also, I have been wanting a typewriter to write my storie on in my room...and I said on Facebook, "If anybody has a typewriter they don't want anymore, please let me know!" And the next day, my Grandad said that he had one! I was so excited! AND...he gave it to me for free!! So, now I have my own typewriter! My father says I'm crazy 'cause computers are soo much better:D Wich, they are, but I'm not allowen to have a computer in my room! So, I am satisfied!

God bless you!
