And So...

Here's an update of my life...
The weekend was super awesome...
Friday: I went to ElCheapo with Denver. We had fun finger painting, whooping at air hockey, playing Foosball, dancing, laughing our heads off and eating ice cream covered in chocolate sauce and sprinkles.
On Saturday: I had a blast dancing country swing with Eric. I had so much fun I think it was one of the best dates ever! Aaah! It was so nice to dance with a guy who knows what he's doing!
Sunday: was my 17th Birthday! The best day of the year of course ;). I got a pink iPod Nano and a copy of the Screwtape Letters along with some awesome cards... *Sigh! Growing up is just something else!
Monday: was an interesting day. I woke up early to go running with my amazingly fit mum. Did that for 45min, listening to my new iPod all the while (FYI: if you hate running like I do, listening to music is a fantastic way to keep you going!). I played a round of Frisbee during lunch, danced during 3rd period learning the dance we will perform for the end-of-year concert. I biked into the canyon for the first time. I went on a short hike, rescuing my sister who was about to slip down the mountain.
Tuesday: My legs and backside are KILLING me! It hurts to merely straighten my legs all the way and to sit in certain positions, but I guess these muscles will get used to my new exercise routines! Oh, and Happy St Patrick's Day! (I did wear green, and i even did an Irish Jig for my friends in the middle of the school hall which was, well, embarrassing and fun at the same time!

Spring! Spring! Spring!

HEY, guess what... its March. The best month of the entire year!!! Or at least one of them. I'm turning 17 on the 15th of the month, should be good huh?
Well, i don't really know what to write here, but i would like to put that i am soooo looking forward to the spring time! "Spring! Spring! Spring!" Is the song playing in my head right now, the one from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Oh. I also had a splendid day today. It was so lovely rolling around in the cool grass under the warm, yellow sun, looking up into the blue sky, watching the clouds being blown about by the gentle wind and sharing it with a few happy-faced friends. Aahhh, it was quite the life! And as for another thing that added to my happiness- Jeremy and Eric taught me the coolest country swing dance move in the history of country swing dance moves! It feels so fun to be swung and thrown about from side to side, momentarily in the air, but knowing you're safely held by a strong guy, kicking up your leg... The thing that would have made it perfect would have been to have some loud country music playing and to be wearing a cow girl hat. Yes. That would be awesome!
I feel like writing some poetry:

I shade my eyes from yonder rays
Of the friendly sun which warms my face,

The azure sky above me rings
A familiar song of happy things:

The clouds within a picturesque sky
Above make endless shapes that I

Think that when I look, I see
Dragons, planes and fish from the sea.

The grassy blanket that cradles me
Fills my warm'ed heart with glee

Its cool, cool tips gently brush my back
Massage my head, cause me to relax

And slip into a happy rest
Joyed to know I'm richly blessed.

For God, my Father who lives above

With beautiful things shows me His love.
