MacBook

So, I'm sitting at home, on the couch... Why do all my blogs start out like this? Why am i always sitting? Why can't i stand and type? ha. anyyyyways.. 

I'm watching TV with my dad, i know i should be doing something productive, like going to the gym or just going for a walk (it's a gorgeous night!) or starting to clean out my room so it's easier to pack when the time comes..

When the time comes, and that time would be August 31st at 6:15 pm, thats right, i've got a plane ticket to Germany. My plane leaves at the time i stated before, and i'll wake up in Paris, have an hour to get to my new plane and get in my seat, then fly off to Zurich! I'll arrive in Zurich, Germany at 11:30 am on September 1st. Then, on September 7th i'll start my language class. everything is sinking in and I'm getting more and more excited/nervous about everything! 

i love my family and my friends, and will miss them so much! but I'm looking forward to the adventures i will have in Europe. I can't wait to meet Britta, George, and Henry! I found out she will be having a girl in October! I'm also excited about meeting new people in my language class, and hopefully i can learn German, so i can stay the whole year! (: 

:]

a week and a half ago i got my wisdom teeth out and they are healing perfectly fine, i also got a tattoo less than a week ago which is healing nicely. 

Sarah left today for Teen Camp, with her church, she'll be gone until next sunday. But i guess that's alright since i'll be leaving on Wednesday night to go to IL and spend time with the Laxton's, see my cousin Michael pitch in a Burlington Bee's minor league game, then we are off to see my Dad's family in Indiana. Jeremy and Kayla are coming down a week from thursday! I can't wait to see all of them, it will be the last time i see any of my dad's family for a whole year!! it will be exciting and sad at the same time! 

I got a new MacBook && iPod Touch. (: I'm not spoiled, just privileged to have parents that love me SO much! 

thats all for now, love you!

--wishful thinking--

Well, i'm sitting here and i was thinking about the past month, how great it's been but then again how awful it's been. Spending time with my friends and family has been amazing and it's made me really think about how i'm going to miss them when i leave. Bell's Palsy has showed me how strong i'm going to have to be in life, no matter what comes your way faith, family and friends will always be there for you! I've fully recovered from the Bell's Palsy with is only a God thing! i can't describe how great it is to not have to worry about smiling crooked or not being able to blink! well, lets just say i'm happy i can smile again! and i'm ecstatic to have people in my life who make me want to smile! :D

Sarah, Mrs. Reis, My mom and I went on a girls trip to Washington D.C. and Hershey PA for a "girl's vacation" it was absolutely AMAZING. D.C. is a gorgeous city, but it also reminded me why i love living where i live, there were so many people and SO much TRAFFIC, i knew Atlanta was bad but GEEZE! After we got back from that trip i barely unpacked before i packed again for a week at the lake with Sarah. it was just the one-on-one friend time we needed. we had our fight for the week but we talked it out and got over it. And all-in-all, i think, it brought us closer together. i'm really gonna miss her while i'm in Germany! and will be counting down the days until she comes to visit me! (:

4th of July was great! we had shelley and the kids over for swimming and dinner and then went and watched fireworks.. zack attach fell asleep in my arms and i think i was about to cry thinking about how much i'm gonna miss the McIntyre Family! i'm gonna miss alot of stuff while i'm gone, but i hope i get updated, and not forgotten. I'm babysitting tonight, for the McIntyre's, well more like house sitting at this point, kids have been fed and totally exhausted themselves playing at the McDonald's PlayPlace! and watching zack climb up the stairs, slide down and then grin ear from ear was priceless! I love these kids! well, most of the time! ;)

Now i'm sitting here thinking about this week and how it could be a bad week, Sarah is out of town, Eddie is still in Florida, Tiffany will be back at her house, now that Chris is home from Costa Rica. **He had the swine flu and had to stay in the hospital down there without her for a couple of days! and now that he's back he has to stay in his house, and he can't work! doesn't that suck? but he hasn't had a fever in a couple of days so he should be getting over it now! which is a VERY good thing!** but i kinda liked having Tiffy stay at the house again! it could also be a bad week because i have to have my wisdom teeth surgically removed on Thursday. and i'm NOT looking forward to it. i went in yesterday (monday) for the first 'meeting' and mom says lets get this over with and schedualed the surgery for thursday. i guess it could be a good thing, because i don't have much time to freak out about it... altho what am i doing right now? oh yeah, freaking out about it. the doctor is very nice and comes highly recomended! he says that the roots aren't fully grown so now is the perfect time to take them out! (: so that's good! i'm not looking forward to looking like a bloated fish, but it should be funny and you know i love to have people laugh on my account, so you know there will be pictures on facebook, of me, looking like a chipmunk with a mouthful of nuts... ha. (don't take that the wrong way!) well, i guess i should let ya'll go. i know you've read enough of my boring life...


Love you all. Keep me in your prayer Thursday morning at 10:15 (that's the surgery time!)


ps.. i'll leave you with these thoughts.. (:

--Wishful Thinking--

To be where I want to be
To be there when I want to be
To be in the place which I call home...
Is wishful thinking..

To have horses roam nearby,
To have cars in my garage,
which I could call mine,
Would be wishes

Everyone has wishful thoughts,
Everyone has dreams and visions,
Everyone desires a certain lifestyle.
To have my friendship strengthened,
To have my friendship to be better than they ever were,
To have my friends back where I can talk to them,
To have them here with me, sharing tears, sharing laughter and pain.
These are all wishful thoughts, dreams that vanish in thin air.

Everyone has their share of wishful thoughts.
Everyone has their share of longing to be loved.
Longing to be accepted.

Wishful thoughts just could become true.
You'd only have to make sure you thoughts and wishes are in the realm of reality.

Wishful thoughts, wishes and dreams can turn into reality only if you let your dreams to be in the circle of reality and life.

Wishful thoughts, dreams and such could be the future.

***Never give up on your dreams, no matter how they seem to be more like wishes then reality try, try, and try. Don't give up once you've fallen, rise and continue.-If you know your dream is in the circle of life [circle of reality] then do your best to reach for your dream. Do what you can to make it become reality.
