About Me
My life is not my own, for I belong to Christ.
It is because of God's grace and for His glory that I "live and move and have my being."
I am currently back in Indiana, studying English Education at Purdue University, far from the home I've come to know and love in Victoria, Australia
My family means the world to me.
Living in America and loving in Australia, I am blessed indeed.

At our table now, my family has this thing about telling blond jokes. So, if it's two blondes, it's me and Mary. But, if it's a blond, redhead, and brunette, it's me, Ellen, and Grace! Sometimes I don't get them...then they REALLY make fun of me! I am so unloved!

Libby is coming tomorrow. And on Tuesday me and a few friends get to go shopping prolly!!!!! Or, we might just do something at home. I am not sure yet.
OK, everyone HAS to see Zachary and Jo Ray's outfits for Twins at Winter Conference!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are soooo funny! It is a Pacer sweatshirt, ( I thought of you, Anna!) and then a tie under it(EVERYTHING is matching!!!) and then a tie around the waist with "Sting" in it(it is the sword from LOTR and it makes clainging noises when you hit it against anything!) then there is blue tear aways( they are Allen and Zachary's b-ball one's) then I think they are going to wear mismatching shoes, and finally to top it all of a red and graan hat that says,'all I got for Christmas was this dumb hat!' It is all sooo funny!!!!!!!!
I wish I could go to W/C and see them wear it together!!! They will have to bring me back pictures!!!

Mrs. Eger is here from Lafayette! Do you know how we met her? Well, I am going to tell you anyway...
See, when we lived in Evansville, my dad and I (I was only 3, so I don't really remember this, but I have been told many times!) were "knocking on doors". So, we stopped at Mrs. Egers house. She is not the kind of person who opens doors to just anyone. But, she saw I was with him and I was just sooo cute, she just couldn't resist opening the door. So, she let us in and my dad witnessed to her and later she became a Christian. She later told us that if I had not been with my dad, she would have never opened the door. Now I feel special! :) (j/k) But, Tamara was just a new-born then and she said that the next child my mom had was going to be her special one and would call her 'Me-Maw'. So, of course, that was Benjamin, and he started calling her 'Me-Maw' so I guess it just sort of stuck and now we all pretty much call her that. And, to this day, he is her favorite! She takes him home with her and spoils him rotten! But, we all love her. She is like our 'adopted grandma'. :)

On Monday, Me, Maria, Mary, Ellen, Grace, Cathy, and Anna all went to the Longs for a Christmas sleepover. It was soooooooooo much fun!!!!!!! We did some pretty funny stuff, but I'm not sure who all reads this so I better not say all of it! :) Those of you who actually read my blog who were there know!!! LOL! I got this really cute shirt from Grace that says, I could talk all day! I love to talk on the phone! And stuff like that. It is so perfect for me! She knows me way to well! And from Anna I got these PJ pants(Cathy got some just like them!:)) that have Twinkies on them! They are soo cute, but soo big!!! LOL! And then, from Mary, I got this shirt that says, Cherry and has cherries on it! Then, from Cathy I got this green really cute long sleeved shirt. Then from Beth, I got makeup and a really cute pink pen and a little stuffed penguin bird thing. It is soo cute! And it's name is Hector Huego. And Ellens was so the best! (j/k, but it was pretty funny!) She got me this wooden back scratcher thing!!! And, of course, I left it and many other things at the Longs!!!

You know how it says in the Bible that 'it is more blessed to give than to recieve'? And you notice how everyone is all happy around Christmas? Well, even non-Christians love getting pther people presents! Well, at lest most of them do!!! That's mine and my mom's philosophy about Christmas!
Charity | 6:39 am

Don't you just love Christmas? I mean, what's not to love? First of all, you get to see people you don't get to see most of the rest of the year. Second, you get like ULTIMATE shopping time!!! Third, you get out of school!!! (that alone is worth it all!!!) And forth, you get to give and receive presents!!! Who doesn't like that???

You know when you are obsessed by Lord of the Rings when you...
- buy a replica of the ring and when you put it on act like nobody can see you
- dye your sheets black and run around like a nazgul
- when your angry at someone chant the elvish spells or run up to that person and yell "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!"
- when you are mad at your parents pull a boromir (examples: the blade is still sharp, i must go dull it; gondor has no parents and gondor needs no parents; it is a pitty that so much depends on such little creatures)
- when your friend wants to walk inside a door run in front of them and say "The doors of Durin, Lord of Moria, Speak friend and enter."
- when you are going to run away yell "im going to live with the elves"
- when you see frodo on the go, yell RUN FRODO RUN!
- gain some weight and eat ALL of the hobbit meals. ..yum food
- act like Gollum in general. . . be bi-polar
- on car trips quote some Pippin Took...
- when a friend hurts, say kingsfoil. . .we need kingsfoil
- when you want something or something is lost refer to it as your precious
- when you are late for something angrily say, "a wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisly when he means to."
- when a bird poops on you yell out loud "ITS SAURAMAN!"
- when someone wants you to give them something yell IF YOU WANT IT COME AND CLAIM IT or when you want something (for example your blanket) yell GIVE US THE BLANKET SHE-ELF!
- when your school bell rings yell outloud ITS THE HORN OF GONDOR and then run to the next class like your life depends on it
- when everyone is about to sleep light up your flashlight and yell THE LIGHT OF GALADRIAL!

I strongly dislike my school. Just in case you didn't already know that. UGH!!!!!!!!!! I just don't understand why they have to always treat eachother so terribly! And they have to make everything anyone ever says into something ed!!! It really bugs me!!! And I have to live through it every day! The only joy I ever get on school days is talking to my friends when I come home! I luv you guys so much!!!!!

She's gorgeous, but gorgeous is an understatement. More like you're startled every time you see her because you notice something new in a "Where's Waldo" sort of way. More like you can't stop writing third grade run-on sentences because you can't remotely begin to describe something ... someone ... so inherently amazing.
But you're a writer. You can describe anything. That's what you do: pictures to words, events to words, words to even better words. But nothing seems right. More like you're afraid that if you stare at her for too long, you'll prove your parents right: that yes, your face will stick that way. But you wouldn't mind.
.......It looks like you might make her realize that all guys don't deserve to have rocks thrown at them."
I stole this from Sarah, too! hehe, but I thought it was cute!!!

Wait for the boy who pursues you
The kind of boy who brings out the best in you,
and makes you want to be a better person ...
the boy who will be your best friend,
the boy who makes you smile like no other boy,
and when he smiles you know he needs you.
Wait for the boy who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats with no makeup on,
but appreciates when you get all dolled up for him.
And most of all,
Wait for the boy who puts you at the center of his universe,
because he’s obviously at the center of yours.
I stole that from Sarah Pulliam's blog. But, isn't it sooo cute????

Oh, and Allen decided the reason he didn't want to look at her or meet her was cuz he was afraid she would be "hott" and he would like her!!! hehehahahoho!!! We were just kidding around, but Allen still teased him all day about it!!!

Last night was soooooooooooooooooooooooo funny!!!!! ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok, Mary wouldn't come sit with me cuz I was sitting right by Josh Kincheloe(we call him Kinch cuz there are so many Josh's in our school!) and so I was sitting there begging her to come sit with me. So Kinch saw that I was talking to someone across the room, and he was like "who are you talking to?" and I was like"I'm trying to get Mary to come sit here!" and he was like"noo!!! I don't want to sit by it !!!" (he calls her "it"...yeah) and I was like"oh be quiet Kinch!" and she still wouldn't come after all the begging and puppy dog faces! So, I went and sat with her for the rest of the concert. (this was after we had played) So, after the program was over, me, Becky( a at school, she's heard about Mary) and Jocelyn went to try to drag Kinch to see Mary. We started pulling him and he wriggled from our grip saying"I don't wanna meet Mary! I don't wanna meet Mary!!!". So, every time me and Mary got close he would run away!!! It was sooooo funny!!!!!!!!!!! And then finally, he was running up some stairs and I yell,"Josh this is mary! Mary, this is Josh!!! Now you've met!" and he ran away. He still insists he never met "it", but I told him too bad he did.

Ok, since so many people are sick, a bunch of us have to play others' parts tonight at the Christmas Concert!!! See, this morning four people were missing and when we parcticed, it sounded awful!!! You could tell all the gaps and missing parts! So, Mr. Nanney assigned us the others parts( I play an extra part in one of the songs, "What Child Is This?") and then 2 people came later in the day, but then ANOTHER person got sick and went home!!! And she was playing extra parts!!! I really hope it doesn't sound totally awful!!! Mary is coming and I can soo see her laughing her head off from the audience when we mess up!!! And it should be interesting to see what her and Josh Kincheloe say when they actually meet. They have never met(see pictures of eachother though) and they both hate eachother!! Well, strongly dislike is more like it. hehe! And I think once they insult eachother to their faces for a few minutes, they will be able to work out their creative differences!!! LOL! hehe anyways it shoudl be interesting!!!

Yesterday we had to do after school care at my little brother and sisters elementary school from about 3:15-5:00 pm. I was like "Mom! Why do we have to do it again!?" and she goes,"Cuz they asked me too and those little s ADORE you!" Don't you just LOVE the little darlings???? Anyways, after it was over some little (twin!) s who came last time were coming for a choir thing. So we were going out to our car and the one little who I played with last time(Kate, SHE IS ADORABLE!!!) came up and hugged me! And her mom goes,"Is this the one you keep talking about?" So she nodded her head and her mom goes,"Oh it's nice to meet you! Do you think you could babysit sometime? Kate ALWAYS asks 'can Charity babysit???' !", and I was like,"Sure!" hehe. I do love little kids though! :)
