All Moved In ~ Hiking

Praise God! We are finally all moved in. :) Almost all done unpacking still quite a bit more to go though.
I said I would post the differences. Before I go on, I just want to say that these are differences I will and can live without, I was just spoiled for two years! haha
Here they are:
There is no water softener. So our water is hard water which tends to make your skin really dry! Pound on that lotion! ;)
There are absolutely NO light fixtures in the bedrooms. Isn't that crazy? But I think I can live with a stand up fan/light. Also that means no lights in there either.
The walls, the curving of the walls are not rounded..thats just so not us! No big deal tho its just something we are used to.
There are two lofts instead of one, so we're gonna have to do something for a "door" for Micah's Room.
Yes, these are just a few of the differences that I thought I couldn't live without, I changed my mind! ;)
The owners are really nice tho! So thats a plus. The last owners we had to deal with, were kind of, nosy in a way.
We have a balcony...oohh! haha

Yesterday we went hiking with the Kirkpatrick's and their friend that are staying with them from out-of-town. Lots of fun. We took the waterfall trail, when we got to the waterfall Micah, Josh and Zane decided to take a foot dip in. Hope none of them get sick! On our way back down there was a rattle snake that decided to cross the path and we decided it was best to kill it for ours, and others safety. There was a crazy earth lady that got mad at us for doing so.
ah here is a pic of the boys killing it, you can't see the snake tho, its in the bush...

Nate was going to kill it with his gun, but with so many little's and rocks all over not a good idea.
After hiking, we went back to the house dropped a few off then Nate Zac, Micah Josh Joah, Sadie, Me and the Ringers went to the mall. Oh we had loads of fun! Took lots of pics, Ash spent most of her time in Tinkerbell! That place is so fun and cute! Wanted to hang longer but it was moms Birthday yesterday so came home had a yummy dinner and cake! Bought my mom a candle(she likes candles.;)) So it was a very fun beautiful day, ended with rain!


Finally back to piano and voice lessons. I'm in trap! I have a voice recital coming up in just one month that my teacher JUST told us about(she changed it from June, to May. nice;)) so I need a Fun, quirky (clean) song..any suggestions and Ill love you foreverrr!!! haha

Ill update some other time this post is long enough and I gotta run!
Hope you all have a very blessed weekend!

~Moving, Church picnic and an epic song

The title says it all, huh?!

When renting a house, it could be time to move anytime! But we didn't think we'd have to move *this soon*. I'm not going to go into detail, but lets just say, they are pretty much pushing us out because of foreclosure on the home! Aaarrrg! Its hard to find a house, for rent, big enough for your family and to be affordable these days. They have been making houses bigger for a purpose but they ain't cheep, to buy, or rent! We did find a house just like ours(which, would be a huge blessing if they would hurry up and get back to us on!), its flipped but just the same-almost. When,(I say when 'cause I don't count on moving anywhere else but there) we move in Ill post the diffs.. Anyways, we're moving! Sad, yes. I just have to keep reminding myself this is all in God's hands and I know we'll look back and say, "Hey, it all worked out just fine! Thank you, Jesus!"

Yesterday was the church picnic! Always lots of fun. We did a scavenger hunt and this time, Lisa's team won. But, last time we had great victory in winning! ;)hehe Who here agrees that it seems like it took way longer this time? Yeah, thought so! And, in my opinion it was a little bit harder...yeah.

Ok, My friend, Bekah and I wrote a silly song. Mind you we did this at 1am why were we both up that late, please don't ask!
Anyhow, the song is called
Confused Lovers by, Amanda and Rebekah

Ooh! Iii once knew a guy named Jooooeeee!!! He was a hobo.
Ooh!!!
He went to a magic show where he met his lover and married her ten days later! But when he found out she was a waiter, he said "See ya later!!"
But later never came, it was a shame- So she went 'a look'n for her man in the shoes~
She didn't want to lose the man she never loved, so she found him and gave him a hug 'an said "I quit my job fer you!"
And he said, "thats a bunch of poo" Get a life, and a job! Then, we'll go from there, if you even dare!-And maybe grow some hair, so people don't stop and stare at your bare head, 'cause you look dead!
Ooh!!!
Ten years later he did not hater her anymore, till she started to snore, and she was out the door, forever more!
Oohh!!!
She was sad she had to go, but when she met a porky pine who had a spine and put up with her, she didn't whine, and stopped doing crime!
But only she stopped 'cause she had to do the time, for her crime.
Oohh!!!
And when she was in prison she learned how to use a Chisholm to get outta there and get away from the scary bear!
Ooh, oh!!!
And a big bad hare who had no hair, that made her scared so she left the land of hare and got sick of men so she married a pare!
Fin(the end)
Moral of the song(really there isn't one..but))) don't marry a hobo!! bahahahaha jk
As you can tell, it is not edited in anyway, we were just having a good time texting away writ'n our song! =P

Told ya it was pretty silly...but totally epic for being written at 1am!! hehe
Okay, its about time I get off this thing and do some packing. *sigh*

God Bless,
Amanda :)

The basics.

Just a few basic det's about me.

~1.My favorite color: I don't really have a fave color. I like all colors. But, if you looked at my room you'd say its Pink, purple brown and sage green. (they say you can tell a persons favorite color by taking a look at either their clothing line, or bedroom in general) The only colors I'm against are those really crazy-man colors! haha

~2. Activities I *like*: Lets see well, I like to bowl, do board games, volleyball(even tho I stink at it), Performing on stage. its the best. Ill do anything to have fun! :)

~3. DOB. Ha, I just recently turned 17. BEST birthday EVER! The other half of my brain got me the bestest gifts ever(my word,, can't have it).

~4. My faith: I am a proud born again Christian who loves the one who sent his son to die on the cross for my sins.

~5. Favorite subject in school: Its definitely NOT math. *shivers* No, I love love love History. If that is all I had to study, I'd be so happy. Besides that...etymology is cool too I guess. And WG..kinda.

~6.Happy Resurrection day!!! Music? well my favorite artist, FAVORITE is Keith Green, (aside from Phil wickham! ;)) I tried to post a video of his Easter song here...but that did not go so well...um..help anyone? Ash? haha any how...his easter song is thee best!

Thanks, ash! ;)) BTW, I chose the 'live' version cause I love the message he gives in the beginning. He always shares the best messages. Probably why he is 2nd on my list. :)

~7. So I said my bff is Emily...well if y'all only knew!!! We have known each other since birth, we practically finish each others sentences sometimes and we know each other so well, we could crush the eithers world in seconds...which of course, we'd never do! She'll always be my sister no matter what!!!

well, gotta run!!!

Happy Resurrection day!!!!

God Bless,
Amanda

Not so, beginner

Here I am...writing this up oh so late at night...well, thats ok.

To start. I'm new to blogger, not new to blogging. I have been a blogger since '07 but moved here because the previous blogging site I was at was so hard to work with. The only thing I find difficult here, is the HTML, gonna have to have the brother help out there! haha And, I left the last place because the site consisted of only 11yr old kids! ;)

Its April fools, the only thing I have to say, is......

National Atheism Day! "For the FOOL has said in his heart there is no God..." Psalms 14 :1 hehehe

And don't let prank callers get you! Of course, there was no fooling there, just pure confusion on my behalf. ;P I actually had a pretty good idea, but it would not have worked seeing as..well we didn't have anyone over today. ha

Ok, so Ill probably transfer the last post from the last blog I had, over to here just so I don't have to write it up again in so many different ways. Otherwise, you guys will learn more about me in time just not right now. Its late.

Good night.

God Bless,
Mandie
(or manders, or Amanda...anything but A MAN DUH) ;))
