7th grade SLUMBER partizzle

So we had our first 7th grade slumber party. OH man, it was a hoot. It was a mix of pool, piano playing, hide and go seek, Indian dancing with our special guest, and hot chocolate with a little Twilight. The picture you see below has a little bit of a story. Binisha, the girl next to me, is the Indian exchange student. She was our surprise guest and I decided...wowza...what a great moment to learn how to dance Indian style. And...that is what we did!!! I'm pretty sure it was the funniest thing I have seen in a long time...whew. If you want to see a video, take a glance at facebook. We had 9 girls dancing with Binisha....and they were soooo into it. HILARIOUS! It was definitey the highlight of the night. Anywho, it was a fun night and I'm thinking maybe we'll be making it a monthly happening. Who knows??? yikes!!

The ladies being weird = amazingness!!

And PRESENTING.................

OH YES, the moment you all have been waiting for...the revealing of the new car. OH it's exciting! ONE...I can't believe I bought this car, not in a million years would I have put myself in such a car....and TWO....it's bright yellow....pure gloriousness!!! It's pretty much amazing and I get giddy everytime I get into the driver seat. It's a fun drive. I am blessed to have found such a great deal! Gracias a DIOS!!!

JJ Heller - Love Me (lyrics)

The song playing on my blogs playlist right now is by JJ Heller, and it's title is "Love Me". I had the privelege to sing this song in church the other day and I have fallen in love with this song. It has such a sweet story and you can't make it through the song without a tear. JJ Heller is singer/songwriter who actually plays at YoungLife camps during the summer...which is awesome. Anyway, listen to the song, it's amazing!!! Here are the lyrics.

He cries in the corner where nobody sees

He’s the kid with the story no one would believe

He prays every night, “Dear God won’t you please

Could you send someone here who will love me?”

Who will love me for me

Not for what I have done or what I will become

Who will love me for me

‘Cause nobody has shown me what love, what love really means

Her office is shrinking a little each day

She’s the woman whose husband has run away

She’ll go to the gym after working today

Maybe if she was thinner Then he would’ve stayed

And she says…

Who will love me for me?

Not for what I have done or what I will become

Who will love me for me?

‘Cause nobody has shown me what love, what love really means

He’s waiting to die as he sits all alone

He’s a man in a cell who regrets what he’s done

He utters a cry from the depths of his soul

“Oh Lord, forgive me, I want to go home”

Then he heard a voice somewhere deep inside

And it said “I know you’ve murdered and I know you’ve lied

I have watched you suffer all of your life

And now that you’ll listen, I’ll tell you that I...”

I will love you for you

Not for what you have done or what you will become

I will love you for you

I will give you the love The love that you never knew

MOVIE NIGHT!!!!
