Such a wonderful softball season this year. We went pretty far this year. We got into districts but ended up losing the second game. We had a great start, got a little rocky, then we picked ourselves back up! We will greatly miss Dani and Julie! I know that I will! Great memories and hilarious bus rides! Can't wait for next season!!

Day with Derek and Family :)

Awh this is so cute!! :)

Funny one...

Had to creep on him just once, because he is so cute! :)

I didn't have to go into to school on Tuesday because I was exempt from my two finals that day, so Derek and I got to spend the day together. We had such a great day! We played this game called Swing Ball, which is pretty much what it sounds. You play kind of like kick ball, but when you kick you are on a swing and you only have one base. We played girls against guys, which the boys won... :) Then Derek and I did devotions, which was very peaceful. It was nice to just sit down and have some time with God. After that, they taught me how to play James Bond. Very interesting game, I will have to teach Cynthia and the rest of my family how to play. Then we played some more cards and played some games on our ipods. Had lunch, took a nap, then we went over to the Fry's (their cousin's) for Drew and Alicia's graduation dinner. After that we left so that everyone could get ready for the actual graduation... I had a bunch of fun and I look forward to more fun this summer... ;) Thank you for having me over, Derek! <3

Cynthia Birthday Cookout

Alrighty, so since Cynthia's birthday is well, tomorrow, and Mom is leaving for Washington state for 10 days. We decided to have a little cookout thing this past weekend for Cynthia, with a few of her friends invited and of course I invited Derek. Mom's friend, Brenda, and her son, Kristian, plus my uncle Mike were there to join in on the fun! So we had a great time and definitely had some laughs... Happy 14th Birthday, Cynthia! :)

Hangin' Out with Derek

Okay for anyone that hasn't heard from me in awhile, I have a boyfriend. His name is Derek Speese. He goes to my church, he is in a band called The S.T.A.C. or The Second Times A Charm, he plays volleyball for the school, and he is also a home schooler! He is absolutely amazing and he is like my best friend! And as you have seen he is pretty much a goof! :) These are some pics from the other night at his house. The other girls in the pics are his two sisters, Allison and Carly. His brother, Brandon, is not pictured above but he was hanging out with us. So I hope you enjoy! <3

February 28th Until the Whole World Hears

This is a lovely masterpiece of Evette and Derek. The reason that there is a dead person in the pic, well Derek likes to crack jokes. And when he drew me my hands looked like fists. So he decided to be funny, so I told him to draw a pic of him dead, because I was gonna knock him out! :):)

Then, I decided to be nice and let him be alive again, so this drawing is us friends again, with Jesus above us! :)

This is Kutless! They were absolutely AMAZING! I love their worship cd, everybody should check it out, IT IS WELL! :)

The BIG band of the night, Casting Crowns!! I enjoyed hearing them and listening some of their songs that I haven't heard in awhile... UNTIL THE WHOLE WORLD HEARS!

Here is me and good ole Derek Speese again! We had such a memorable night! Lots of laughs! :)

Me and Abbi Smith

CHEESE...UHHHH :)

The infamous thinkers!

Well, this was an awesome night! Going to see some great musical artist with the people I love! James McCoy (my youth pastor), Tina (his wife), Jessica (their daughter and my BFF), MOMMY, Tyler Bradshaw (an amazing person in my life), Cynthia (my lil sis), Alicia David (love her like a sister), Abbi Smith (also love her like a sister), and Derek (BFF and significant other ;)) We all had a wonderful time. We got home really late, but it was all worth it! GOD IS AWESOME!!

Me and my CRAZY, FISH LOVING, Daddy! :)

Wow, February 14th was such a huge day this year! Well, of course it was Valentine's Day. I guess I had a Valentine, Derek. He got me a Hershey's bar. Such a wonderful day! Then after the worship service, there was a HUGE youth baptism! There were so many people there to support us all. The Eichelberger's came and Annie (my Young Life leader) and her boyfriend, Reed. Then everybody from the church. It was so wonderful. When my Dad started to read my testimony, he got all choked up and by that time I was crying and my Mom was probably crying as well. It was such a wonderful moment. Then after I was baptized, I went to watch the rest of the youth. It was amazing to listen to each one of their testimonies. Then after we all hugged and took pics, as you saw above. I hope that everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day, even if you didn't have a Valentine, God is every ones because he loves us ALL!!!! :)
