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!!!! :)

Chillin with Kiely

It took us like 10 pics to get a good one on the floor. This is the best! :)

She is VERY flexible, plus she looks pretty funny too!! haha :) jk

I'm with the her (aka the weird one)

Grrr, we are some fierce animals! haha :)

Us taking pics at the Lock-In.

This is a Kiely Eichelberger! She is a year younger than me and I love her sooo much. She is like my little sister. We are so much alike but yet we can be total opposites. Her family is like my second family. I have spent a totally of three weekends in a row with this crazy little chick and two out of those three weekends we were at her house! Wow, talk about feeling at home! Haha we had such a great time getting to talk and let out the stress that was going on in our lives! For dinner one night we had a whole container of Whipped Cream Cheese icing!!!! SOOOOOO GOOD!!!!! Then about an hour later we had bowls of vanilla bean ice-cream! We are junk food addicts! Haha :) Anyways, I love hanging out with Kiely, mostly because we talk about some serious things and we take it pretty deep. Most of our conversations are about boys but we talk about our struggles with them. Being two fairly new Christians that have grown closer to God due to the help of each other and both of our Mothers, we have a lot of things that we have to learn. We both have been through so much with relationships and we talk to each other about our feelings on the matter and then we talk about what we learned. We love God and nothing goes beyond it!!!!! :)

Winter Lock-In

Karley, Alicia, Me, and Carly being a little too crazy 2 hours into the lock-in.

Relaxing from all of the chaos! :)

I think Tyler was a little bit tired! :)

Well, our lovely Winter Lock-In was last weekend and we had a BLAST!!!! Chilling with the youth group was so much fun. We played games, went to a gym at another church, drank a 2 liter bottle of Mountain Dew, played ninja, and many more. No one really slept, except for when you closed your eyes without even thinking about it at like five in the morning! Haha at 3 o'clock we were at the gym and it felt like 8 o'clock. Good times and many memories made!!!

Hanging out with Allison and Jessica over Christmas break!!!!
Haha we had soo much fun! I was sad that I had to leave.
But it was great to chill again and catch up on things we have missed.
I love you guys!!!

Study Hall!!

I eat your head!!!

Nick is a spy and the coolest at that!! SHHHH! :)

This year I got to be in a study hall with the craziest people that I know, Nick and Gabby. We love to goof off, talk loud, and just have fun during 7th period. Sometimes we sleep, but on this particular day we got out of hand. Gabby rubs her face on Nick's head because apparently its really soft, she attempts to eat his head, and Gabby goes crazy over MOLES!!! hahahaha memories to keep forever!!! Thanks guys for being the best of buds. And Nick we will miss you next year, but we know you're gonna be training for the Marines. Good Luck and please be safe!!! Much love bud!!! <3>

Best Friends Christmas!!!

Awh, heart the best friends!!! <3

I don't like it... I love it!!! :)

DANCE YOUR HEART OUT!!!

I shall call you my squishy!! :)

CUTE! :)

YUMMY!!! lol :)

Gabby and I got together to hang out before Christmas, and do a little Christmas of our own! So the pic of her wrapped around the pillow, is her freaking out! I got her the pillow for Christmas because the first time she came over to my house she like freaked out when she saw my pillow and she told me that she was going to steal it. SO I was in Target one day and I saw a body pillow and I was like hmm this would be perfect for Gabby! And when she saw the pillow and I told her it was hers she like jumped on my bed and attacked it. But unfortunately she couldn't stay the night and have the spend more time with me but at least we got to hang out!!!! I wuvs her so much!!!! :)

Twin Day!!

This is one of my best friends up here in PA! Well this is Morgan Powers. She is like my sister and guess what she also lives on my street, so whenever we want to see each other we are within walking distance! Hahaha I love her! She has always been there for me and I have no CLUE what I would do without her! We have grown so close and I thank God that I have a wonderful friend like her! So these pics are from Twin Day back at the beginning of the year. On the front of the shirts it says, "Two are better than one..." Then on the back it finishes with, "if one falls down, his friend can help him up." Ecclesiastes 4: 9-10.
