Still here!

It's ok, you don't have to tell me, I already know. I can practically see you there, sleeping at your computers and comforting yourselves in the fetal position as you await my return. But don't worry, you needn't wait any longer.

Just kidding. ;D

I mean... about the fetal position thing. I'm not kidding about writing a new post (considering the fact that you're looking at it).

Anywho... I feel like I haven't written in forever. This is partly because I wasn't sure what to do a post on, and also because I've been reaaaaalllly busy.

So with that, I shall inform you on my whereabouts.

On Thursday, some sleep-deprived friends and I went to worldview class and got hopped up on sugar, then went to the midnight premiere of the AVENGERS!!!



For one thing, I've never been to a midnight showing of a movie. I think I chose the right one to have as my first. Oh. My. Gosh. It was so cool! Thor was like BOOM! And Hawkeye was like WHOOSH! And the Hulk was like RAWR! It was worth getting only 4 hours of sleep.

I've also been doing a lot of work raising money for Steps For Life.

Haven't heard of it? I shall inform you.

Steps For Life is an annual walkathon/fundraiser for the Pregnancy Resource Center. They're a nonprofit, pro-life organization that provides free counseling, ultrasounds and other resources for women with unplanned pregnancies. A lot of the teens from my church put together a youth team for the walk every year and raise money. Last year, by hard work, people's generosity, and the grace of God, we were able to raise over $10,000.

 So anyway... we've been plotting and planning and asking neighbors and selling our stuff. After going to see the Avengers, we all woke up at 7 AM to get ready for our garage sale. Needless to say, we were all tired. And not in our right minds.



There were kittens for sale, too!


^That one is the namesake of my insanity, "Weebattazu."

After the Garage Sale on Friday, they took me and my friend Foster out to the Spaghetti Factory to celebrate our birthdays. The waitress had the whole room singing Happy Birthday to "Forest" and "Kayla." (Yay for slightly uncommon names!)

It was an epically amazing weekend, I had a great time, and we raised $1,200! So that's what I've been up to.

This week's going to be a little less exciting. Grocery shopping and homework beckon me, and I fear I shan't be able to hold off their cries much longer.

But for anyone who's interested, I'm still trying to raise money for Steps For Life and need sponsors. If you want to donate, please please please click HERE. :D

With that, how's everyone's week so far?

  1. My week is going along quite nicely, music yesterday (I learned "Come Thou Fount" on the violin), and today I trimmed 2 of our vines, one in the front yard and one in the back. They were going to take over the world. I saved the day. ;)
    I always feel like writing a devotion from John 15 about Jesus the true vine and us being the branches, and God the vinedresser.
    And the student I'm tutoring will be here any minute. :)
    Weebattazu! XD
