Finding Grace

Merry Christmas and almost a Happy new year!

Hey everyone!!! Merry Christmas! I hope you all have a wonderful day!!!
Also, and awesome 2009!
For me, 2008 has been one of the craziest, biggest, most changing and different years of my whole life! I'm finally starting to see huge changes in my life. I lost my best friend a few months ago, all as a long process. This is still continuing to change me because it's something that's hard to get used to. I also started my High School marching band this year which of course is making my life VERY busy. I'm also starting to grow older and older so I have to learn new things, like maybe making money for myself and not depending on my parents for everything. I'm also starting my driving lessons because I will be getting my permit in 3 months! ;) So as I continue to grow and get older, I am becoming even more and more depended on my heavenly Father as all these changes occur. I hope He continues to change me and leads me in the way he wants my life to go! I hope everyone has had a memorable 2008 and has an AMAZING and most wonderful 2009!

When the leaves started changing...

Here's some new pictures.

These were taken in my Grandparent's beautiful yard.

The most wonderful time of the year!

It's almost here......

CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!! Only 11 more days until Christmas!!!!It's such a GREAT time of year... cheerful music, friends and family, everyone together, snuggling up by the fire place drinking coffee and hot chocolate, while it snows outside (unless you live here in Florida :( All the yummy foods, and the crowded busy stores, and the stables set up to represent why we celebrate Christmas.... with Jesus in the manger, and Mary and Joseph by his side. Emmanuel was born to save us and that's why we have this amazing holiday to celebrate!!!!!!!! I hope you all have an AWESOME Christmas!

Starfield - Filled With Your Glory (Live)

State is over!

Well it's over, we went to FMBC state competition this weekend and got our results... we made 20th out of 24 in our class 2A. Even though this disappointed us a little and it wasn't the greatest and we didn't make it to finals (only top 5), we can say "we made it in the top 20 bands of the whole state of Florida"! and we're proud to say that. That night (Saturday) wewent to the tropicana Dome to watch the bands that made it and they were amazing!!!!!!!! I'll post pictures when i get some!
