I know I know.....

I know I have been gone a LONGGGGGG time from here but let me tell y'all I have been so busy.... I am working now normally my day starts at 8 in the morning then ends between 3 and 5:30 in the evening... Then I will also be starting school on Monday so with school and work both I deffinately wont have time for this.... But I have had a great summer this year...My favorite part of my summer was probably the Teen Conference that I went to with my grandparetns youth group in Missiouri..I learned so much there and my perspective on some things changed....Mainly on dating cause that is the message that hit me the hardest and that I changed most in my life... Talking on this subject my sister Megan who went to Germany the week I was in Illinois found out about me changing my perspective on dating so she brought the book "I kissed Dating Goodbye" home with her from the missionairies(sp) for me to read and let me tell you I recommend it to everyone...If you have never read it read it..... This past week my cousins from Louisianna came to our house so they could take their 6 year old son Isaac and their foreign exchange student Wen from China to six flags for Isaac's birthday so I got to babysit my 2 baby cousins Arielle who is 1 and Isabelle who is 2...Let me tell you I had a great time.... Well I guess that is all for now...I will try to atleast update once a month but if I dont it is cause I am always busy. I have school, work, church, teen court, concerts, cleaning my moms office, Bible studies on Mon and thurs nights, co-op, piano lessons. So yeah there is my list of stuff that I am always busy and plus on top of all that any extra stuff I do with family and friends.....

It's been a while!!

Well the reason I have not been on in a while is because all of last week and the first of this week my whole family was sick..We got over it on Sundy afternoon but my whole family stayed home from church on Sunday just to make sure we were over it...Well Thurs morning me and Mackenzie went up to the Church to help with decorating for Autumn's wedding shower and it turned out so pretty....Then Thurs was the shower so we went to that...There were about 20-30 women there and Autumn got a ton of stuff.....It was all great...She loved it.....Friday after my mom got home me, my mom, and my friend Lauren went to Tyler to go shopping for my prom dress...Well I got a dress but it took forever....We went to the mall where we ALWAYS get our dresses they did not have hardly any out...Then we went to David's Bridal and they were either to expensive or I did not like them....Then we went to Macy's and I saw a black I liked, I tried it on and it is so cute, but we decided to go to Beall's to see if there was anything better there wasnt so back to Macy's we went...The dress is black, it is ruffley, it is not form fitting, it is flowy all the way down, it only comes to the middle of my shins, it is haulter top......Thats about the best I can do to explain it...It is so cute on though....I got it for $25 too!!!! Well as I am typing this I am waiting to leave for our family reunion which I am so excited about!!! Well we will be in Houston all day for the reunion so I hope you all have a GREAT day!!!

Teen Court cases!!!

Well I said I would post about the 4 cases we had this past Monday so that is what I am going to do now!! Hope you all enjoy!

#1 Case-Was an 18 yr old girl-Theft under $50....She had an attitude the whole time, she previously has gotten 2 speeding tickets and 1 skipping school ticket and now the theft ticket she says she did all of this to just push the limits to see if she could get away with it! When the attorneys got done questioning her and she was walking off stand she rolled her eyes and stuck her tongue out!! To say the least she got the Maximum punishment(40 hrs and 6 jury terms)! I was so happy I had nothing to do with this case!

#2 Case-Was a 17 yr old girl-Theft under $50-On this case I was the defense attorney and I am so happy I was...I have come to like this girl alot and I wish she did not live so far away so after she gets done with her punishment she can be a volunteer but she has to drive 2 hours to get to teen court....Her case was kinda sad...She gets there and asked me if she could not get on stand and just get maximum, well I said yes because you do not have to get on stand...She was nervous abotu getting up there and she was crying and freaking out...I told her to watch the first case and then decide if she wanted to go on stand...Well right before court started we went to sit down by the jury and 2 guys start saying stuff to her like "you should have run and gotten away", "your a bad kid for stealing", and "I can't believe you stole"...So then she started to cry again because she felt bad enough already and they were making her feel extremely bad....But on her case the prosecuting attorney being my friend Lauren asked my client what she thought she deserved and she said Maximum but she got Minimum punishment(30 hrs and 5 jury terms) which was a shock...I was so happy though because I think everyone felt bad for her, she already got grounded from her phone and car for 4 months and had to spend a night in jail for the Theft.

#3 Case-Was a 16 yr old guy-Speeding-This was also my case, I was again the defense attorney..This case was a little confusing and still is but everyone believes what he said because he did not look or sound or act like he was lieing(sp)...He said he got a ticket for driving 78 in a 55 speed limit zone but he claims he had his cruise on 55 and that a car flew by him on a windy and hilly rode and that probably the officer just clocked the other person but thought it was my client. He got middle of the road though which was 27 hrs and 4 jury terms I think.

#4 Case-Was a 15 yr old guy-Trespassing-He was in an alternative school and he got out of school and was going to go to a teen center in Brownsboro so he was walking on the Brownsboro middle school side walk so he could cross the highway to get to the teen center and he got a ticket for being on the middle school property because since he was in an alternative school he could not be on any of brownsboro's school property's except for the alternative one and no one had told him till a week after he got ticket. He got middle of the road too.

So that's how our cases went.....Last night we got to stay after church for a youth fellowship and spend some more time with the missionary family from Germany before they leave saturday so we stayed there till 11:15p.m. just talking to them and playing with their 4 month old baby.....I can't wait till tomorrow because we are going over to a family in our church house to talk to them and the missionary family to see what all Megan needs to know for when she goes to Germany in August.... Well hope everyone has a GREAT week!

Back Again!!

So I have not been on for a while but I am back now!! The main thing I have been up to lately is being here for my mom when she needs me because for several weeks she has been battling depression, a few migrain headaches and a couple of episodes of the flu!! Please pray for her that she will get completely better!! She is better than she has been today so thats good!! Now on to a more possitive note....We have a missionary family that has been staying in our missionary apartments for a couple weeks now and they will be here till a week from Sat...So we have had the joy of talking with them and getting to know them more and playing with their 2 year old daughter and holding their baby who I think is less than 6 months old!! Also I am getting prepared for teen court Monday...I will defending a girl for theft under $50 and I will also be defending a guy for speeding...The other 2 cases that I am not an attorney on are a girl for theft under $50 and a guy for trespassing!! We have training on Sat so I will get to find everything out about my 2 clients!! Hope everyones week has gone well so far!!
