I'm like baby baby baby oh

I cannot get over how AMAZING this video is. Even a language barrier can't keep them from Bieber fever. I just love this. Missing you Judah, Isaac, Jessica and Jaelynn. I hope this makes you laugh, I did (and I cried a little too).

Day 30-a picture

This is me (the oldest grandchild) with my new cousin Grace (the youngest grandchild). She was born on Saturday morning and she's just beautiful!

Day 29-3 Wishes

1. I wish I could speak Chinese.
2. I wish I could fly.
3. I wish I could eat all the Dove chocolate I wanted without any consequences

Day 28-Something that stresses you out

The unknown really stresses me out. This is something I am trying to work on. I like to know what's going to happen and what's going on and not knowing makes me feel out of control. School also stresses me out. I also get really stressed out when I don't have time to be alone. The best way for me to relieve stress is to just be by myself for a while.

Day 27-Pets

I have one dog, her name is Belle. We've had her for close to 12 years. She an absolute mess. She misbehaves and is completely spoiled but we love her all the same. Belle doesn't do much but lay around but she loves her bobo and sleeping on laundry. She's the only real pet I've ever had (except the time we had 6 outdoor cats, yikes) and she's a part of our family, no matter how bad she smells.

Day 24-Something you've learned

It may be better to title this "Something you're learning" as I have not quite fully grasped the concept yet. This past year has been full of so many ups but also a few downs. I'm learning about my relationship with God when I'm disappointed with the way things have turned out. Like most people out there, I have a plan in my head about how I want things in my life to go, although in reality, they rarely turn out the way I planned, leaving me disappointed with my Father who knows best. A new concept that I read during my devotion today, was to ask God "what now?" instead of "why?" When something doesn't turn out like I would have liked, I should ask God "what do I do now? " He is faithful to answer my prayers with how I should respond to my disappointment. I'm learning that God's plans are bigger than my own and that he's got a magnificent future planned out for me. I'm learning that it's easy to be a winner but God can work more through you when your not in that winning position. I learning to not view my worth in the world's eyes. I may be looked over and not noticed by the world but God never stops seeing me. Like I said, I'm still learning. I've got a very long way to go but God is faithful and he's got me in this place in my life for a reason and he's teaching me. This season may not be my favorite, but it has worth in my life.

This is where my time has gone....

I know this isn't a 30 day challenge entry but as you can tell, Step Sing 2011 has taken over my life. The show is going to rock! Hopefully, I can pick up with the challenge after this weekend and finish it up. I warned you that it probably wouldn't be updated everyday. I'll also blog all about Step Sing. I am so proud of our show! I can't wait to show it off. 

Day 23-Favorite vacation

For spring break 2009, I went to West Palm Beach to my friend, Karisa's house. We stopped in Orlando to go to Disney World for a day and then spent the rest of the week hanging out at the beach. I really love this trip for many reasons. One, this was the first trip that I got to decide on my own about going. I didn't have to ask permission from my parents. Second, I remember the week leading up to spring break was an incredibly crazy time at school and it was so refreshing to get away. Third, it was with some of my best friends from school and we had an absolute blast.

Day 22-Favorite city

Hmmm this is a hard one. I have absolutely no idea what my favorite city is. I've been to a lot of cities...not compared to some people but I have been very blessed in my 22 years to be able to see many different places on this earth. There are unique things that I love about all of them.  I don't know if I could pick a favorite, so I guess I'll pick my to 5, in no particular order.

Birmingham, AL

I've been living here for the past 3 1/2 years and love it. Birmingham is a wonderful place to live. It's not the most exciting place in the whole world but it's got a homey feel. 

Atlanta, GA...this is including the metro area.  

Atlanta is so fun and it's my home. There's nothing like going to a Braves game on a summer evening! I loved growing up in Marietta and will always call it home. 

Beijing, China

I just love the culture there. Never in my life have I seen so many people in one place. There's so much to see, you can't get it all in one visit. 

New York City, NY

I went to New York the summer after my senior year in high school with my church choir and had a blast! We were able to participate in mission projects and see a side of the city that not everyone sees, while still fully experiencing the completely toursity aspect of it too. 

Tarnow, Poland

The summer after my freshman year in high school, I went to Poland with the same church choir as above. This was one of the best trips of my life. The city was so charming and I love that it was safe enough to just go out and walk around in the afternoon in small groups.
