Seventeen

I am now 17 :-D  My last year of legal childhood.....  I shall do my best to ensure it is filled with immaturity and impish behavior to the last, Muahahaha!  16 wasn't all it was cracked up to be, so I intend to make up for it this year.  I hope that God does incredible things with me and that my relationship with Him can grow.  Last year I was in kind of a ditch with God and I'm still crawling out of it, but I know now my course of action, and things are looking up :-)  I've had a fantastic week since my birthday.  My older sister got me the book that I wanted, the 'Encyclopedia of Immaturity' by Klutz....  Everyone will hate her for it very soon.

I am so excited for Christmas this year!!!!!  I don't really know why, but it's going to be wonderful.  When I was like, 14, I wasn't stoked AT ALL.  I was literally like 'BAH, humbug.....' for a whole 2 months around Christmas.  It was very odd of me, but this year I feel like the polar opposite of that.  STOKED :-D  And we just went through all of our Christmas stuff in the hopes of getting rid of a goodly amount of it.  It was a good thought with poor results, but it's the thought that counts, right?

I found a blog recently (5 minutes ago :-P ) that's really inspired me to add more of my photos to my blogs, so prepare yourself for that.  And your prayers and thoughts would be wonderful for a good friend of mine, Ardath.  Her husband died on Saturday from cancer.  They had been going to a clinic in Germany for years for treatments that hadn't been approved here in Canada yet and spent thousands of dollars, but Jim finally got to go home.  Ardath is a strong woman, but my heart breaks for her.  Keep her in your thoughts :-)

I went on an adventure with my two best friends in thw whole world a few weeks ago, and only just got around to editing the photos....  Click to see large!

I had other grand plans for this entry.... and I've forgotten ALL of them.  So I'll leave you with that!
