ohh yes jesus loves me!!!!!!!!!!!!

two really cool things happend this weekend. they touched me deep down inside.
first i went to Charlotte Russe and found some $5 dollar sunglasses. when i got to the counter the lady said "your lucky! today these are on sale for 99 cents!!" SCORE!!! now we don't have to eat dry cereal!

the second was that Alison said something in her sleep for the first time ever!! she squirmed in her car seat and shouted "I WANNA WATCH LION KING!!!" and then kept sleeping peacefully. how can you not love her?

shhh

i feel so sly! here are some pictures from when angie came to visit. i just made dinner and the chicken was dry and the onions looked raw and i put the rice in the cooker with out a pot in there. i don't know what is wrong with me but it has GOT to stop.

i'm not very happy. i really dont like gravy. its pure grease and flour and broth. i had to make it for dinner and everyone knows theres nothing worse then cooking something you dont like. gravy is not cool and i had to throw it all out in the garbage because no one ate it. next time some one says "would you like some delicious gravy on your potatoes?" remember grease flour and broth. thats about it.

look at her she likes gravy.

run forrest run!

thanks for the gentle hint julie.
well ive been a latchkey kid for 5 days now and life couldnt be better yeeehaaaw except ohh lord give me the grace to live with jimi. well last night i put the little tadpoles to sleep so that angie could eat alot of meat....oh i mean go to a BBQ at FCF. i made pasta and then we all read angelina ballerina and the butterfly...those kids are picture perfect also i got to watch finding nemo but that was before dinner.. ive never been good with chronological order. i was so cold last night does that ever happen to you hahahahah i tryed to snuggle with shali for warmth but she kicked me ahahah KIDS THESE DAYS!!!! julie never like that much either. i think people that dont like to snuggle must have SERIOUS mental issues and should be put in a "home". but back to what i was saying...we went to lego land last weekend it was so fun!! thats what the picture above is of (just incase you cant read the sign) today im fixing to take some pictures

i hope this appeases you julie (aka strider) hahahahahahahahahaha

"yes christie write from your heart we want to hear from you!" stuff like that could be cool.

there was once this girl that got sick and the guy came to her room and she was all no no dont turn on the lights or open the windows cuz she thot she was UGLY but hahahhaha he went and wrote her a POEM! or maybe it was a song. and then she got up and opened the windows. i hope you understand what i'm trying to say.

storry of my life...haha i mean weekend

ok well...stephy and liz stold the front seats and i had to ride in the back of the truck with the common people. thanks alot girls. that was pretty much a bad start to our friendship as i had to play travel games sitting backwards.

afterwards for some reason i forgave them. look i love stephy so much i tattooed her back hahah it was so fun. NO I DIDNT SMUDGE IT thats just how it looks.

then stephy had to go to vera cruz which was sad. yes it WAS a really sad time yeah i dont know why shes smiling here.

they're so pretty!!! i could tell you we ate lemon ice cream yahahha!! but that would be lying. it got stuck in liz's freezer and we never saw it again. thats the truth

arizona green tea

yeeehaaw!

its been so real having angie here! yesterday we just sat on the beach for hours and laughed and talked. paula and nyna laughed but there was a little bitterness in their voices because i kept sprinkling sand on them unknowingly. hot hot hot! the santa ana winds are here and it feels like Arizona! it made me miss our special arizona walks making you touch the door to get a shock. haha! oh tender tender! last night it was just us sisters, eva ange paula nyna and me. we had chocolate shots and watched the notebook.

loved it.

now we're going swimming what else can we do in this heat?

i wanted to take pictures for mommy julie but i dont have a camera so its tough.

yeehaaw!

delish!

yum indian food! dont you just love that stomach burning feeling. nothing does it for me like indian food. look i made this butter chicken masala. chucky you should have been there it came out so good this time. now i know what your thinking masala? isnt that the bad guy in ben hurr? hahhaha your wrong. you just need to open your mind and broaden your horizons.



also i cut my hair and suddenly realized i look like my mom. its real cool.

julie speaks out

ahhhaha ok! lets just start by saying christie and i are so different! amen? now i dont know why some oh you have trouble telling us apart but rumor has it that you do. so (in love) i made up this little chart for you. i hope it helps and i'm hoping not to be called christie for a very long time after this. thats the goal. my big plan is that every1 will see this and realise how different we really are...like day and night. amen?

what hotels?!?

oh yeah hotels! they bring out the best in us right chucky? prying drinks out of the vending machines. getting stuck in the elevator. suffering from migraines in the jacuzzi. we NEED to stay in hotels together again!! GOOD NEWS. we can at THE WEDDING oh boy chuck i wonder what hotels in kansas are like. i've never been to kansas its gonna be so great! kansas hotels here we come!! i dont think theyre ready for us christie but neither were the disciples when jesus said one of them would betray him.

hotel breakfast. now that is a sacred word for us. chucky reaches for a sugary dounut. no no! chides julie as she passes her half a whole wheat bran muffin. minuets later julie almost snatches a tall cup of sugary hot chocolate. chucky discreetly hides it in the trash can as she points out that fresh fruit juice is a healither choice. now THATS love. we look out for eachother because frankly no one else will.

oh yeah? watch THIS!

its been real its been fun its been real fun. im pretty sure that alot of stuff has happend. so much in fact that i thot i could maybe post...maybe. my sister akari came here and then left i could maybe post pictures of her except that i dont have any so picture this: a little white skined japanese girl with hair like a girl from the eighties. yeah. i miss her because she was fun but ill get over it. daddy (and of course god as well) were able to fixed my sisters sisters computer (twice removed)i was able to browse and surf on it as well as my other favorite hobbies which is eating the mo mo when my parents dont yell at me (ok haha inside joke )the good news here is that my sister angie is comming here and is possible even here right now without me knowing it. today i was able to eat granola for the first time in 3 days! i also hurt my knee so i limp a little bit but im pretty sure that i hide it well ha ha ha please pray for luca's mental wellness.
