Today, I got a hair cut and a free movie night

So, I got to go to the movies for free because, we had a huge storm that lasted like... 20 minutes? About that. It was... terrifying for me. (O__o) I hate thunder, it scares the sh** out of me, don't judge. I've been afraid of super loud, sudden noises like most normal ppl, but for me, thunder is just... not good. It's a weak-point for me, I always end up cowering on the floor or under the covers on my bed, covering my ears or listening to music.
I'm weird, I know.
But, on the upside! I got a hair-cut today! :D (see above pic) I know that picture isn't fantastic, but it was the best my laptop camera could do right now. I have my bangs back and the layers are more defined and cool looking. So, needless to say, I am satisfied.
Back to the whole, power-went-out-so-we-got-a-free-movie-thing, it was totally legit. My dad thought they might be kidding because, duh, the power went out. But, after a while, I knew they weren't because the power came back on all over town so, free movie it was!
I went with Sam and his family, though I really sat with Davyn, Sam, and Davyn's little brother Harold. Sam's parents sat behind us and Solomon was at baseball practice, so he wasn't there, poor guy. :P So, tonight was my second time watching Now You See Me and I still think it was bomb! :D
Then, there's Sam. There's always Sam. He's amazing, I just love him. He's got his quirks and faults, but that makes him more real. I never really believed in Prince Charmings like some, if not, most girls do while they're growing up. Being the oldest child and witnessing a divorce in action, well, sometimes that proves perfect relationships wrong right off the bat. But, I do know that, while Sam is nowhere near perfect, I know he loves me and that he is the right one for me.
This isn't like last time! Not at all, it just isn't.
My love for Sam is... fuller. Healthier. Better. We have connections that I never thought we'd have (not like that, don't get all cray) and I feel truly blessed to have him.
This is going to work out, I can just feel it. There isn't that lingering doubt this time, no "what if's", nothing. We're living day-by-day and that's enough for me.
So, that was my day. :)

This week has been rough...

Traveling was ok and all that. But it's the packing and the unpacking and all the trips that are apparently being planned that I know nothing about because my dad doesn't know how to plan anything. Which, would be ok if he didn't have four kids, three of which have boyfriends and a girlfriend, friends, and want to make their own plans. I can't say I can hang out with anyone because I never know what's going on.
But, whatever. I just know that I'm a bit tired emotionally today.
Church service was really good. Pastor Fred talked about how being a Christian and/or a follower of Christ didn't depend on what we do, it's about who we are.
It was easy for me to connect to. Anyway, I'm tired and I'm about to do Children's Church. I'll post again maybe later on tonight.

Road Trippin'! (Kinda)

So, at the moment, I am sitting in a resort in Phoenix (I think... It's hard to tell with all these connecting cities around it) and it. Is. Awesome. :D
It's super fancy and not too big but definitely bigger than it seems at first glance. We all got ourselves settled and then just went into "chill mode" since we had to be on the road almost five hours today. (It may not seem like a lot but I hate car-sickness so it seemed to drag on for me)
On the way up here, we talked about Pastor Fred's sermon. I kind of avoided the topic of my Sunday School class though (sex) not because I'm uncomfortable, but because I don't like hearing the same lectures and questions from my rents whenever the subject comes up. It's just obnoxious. Anyway, but Fred's sermon was really good and it was a good thing to reflect upon for all of us.

Anyway.

I did a page of rough drawings in my sketchbook, all in pen! Haha, it was a little hard to do, but I was proud of the way the ppl I created came out, considering that I didn't have an eraser. :P
I talked to Sam for about an hour and he was definitely in his tired phase because he was being slightly obnoxious while I was trying not to get frustrated. I just wanted to talk to him, but I pushed aside my tired feelings because I knew he meant well and that he had called because he missed me today.
The rest of this week is going to be filled with taking random adventures and me getting prepped for my day at Warped Tour! :D I can't wait, I know I'm gonna be getting tan this week. :3
That was pretty much my day.
I'll update tomorrow! We're gonna go adventuring! :3

My Summer so Far

Well. It's definitely summer time. It's super hot most days and, like usual, it's windy almost always! But hey, there's no school and I get to wear shorts and tank tops so I can't complain too much. :P
Right now, I'm in church. There's so many things that my pastor comes up with to pretach about and I don't know how he does it! He's always able to make me think... In fact, he's probably able to make everybody think.
I get annoyed though... Everyone just... Worships the ground my best friend walks upon, just like they did with J when he was still here. I love my bestie, and I know he loves God and that he's loving his mission in Alaska right now. But, I would like if ppl tried to give their attention other places.
Then again, that's one of my biggest struggles. Jealousy. I get jealous of all the attention and all the ways ppl praise my best friend and sometimes even other ppl and I feel looked over. I have to pray about this a lot.
Also, I'll be going to college soon. I can start getting involved and making differences and following my dreams. Who would want to pass that up?? No one, I can assure you.
Now, I'm still in church, and afterward, I have to go take my boyfriend his PSP charger, I have to pack up real quick, and then I'm headed to Tucson with the family to hang, visit family, and for ME to go to Warped Tour! :D I'm so excited, you guys don't even know!
I'll post again later tonight when my day is done. Laters!
