Please Pray!

I write this post with a sad heart... my 3 year old cousin, Brian, was battling a rare blood disorder called histiocytosis for about 1-2 years. He went through chemo and they thought that they had cured him about 6 months ago. Unfortunately, he developed sores on his head recently, which is what happened last time they discovered he had histio. So, they got the sores tested and the results came back today that he has histio again. So he will have to go through a stronger dose of chemo again. A stronger dose of chemo, mood swings, and hair loss all over again. PLEASE pray for their whole family. Because they REALLY need all our prayers and support. Please pray for his siblings: Ansley(6), William(5) and Olivia (2). And also his parents as they lead their family through this hard time in their life.

Thank you all SOOOO much for your prayers and support!!!!
Andrea

To watch dance is to hear a heart speaking.

We're fools wether we dance or not. So we might as well dance. ~Japanese proverb

Dancing is dreaming with your feet.

~If ballet were easy it would be called football.

~They who love dancing too much seem to have more brains in their feet than in their head.

Insert title here, cuz I can't think of one!

Hello!
I just wanted to let you guys know that I won't be posting over Labor Day Weekend because me, my family (minus my dad-he's flying) and my grandparents are going to Moab, Utah!!! I'm SO excited! I hope to get some AWESOME pictures to post for you guys!

This mainly applies to readers my age but can be used by anyone!
Have you ever had that one annoying pimple that just will NOT go away? Well, I just found a book from the library called Babushka's Beauty Secrets. It is a FABULOUS book with recipes for many things such as pimple removal, wrinkle remover(for people older than me...), relaxing body scrubs and ways to make your skin look FAB! Today I found a rather large pimple on my forehead. So, I got an awesome recipe from the book and IT WORKS! Thought I'd share it with you!

1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Combine and mix together. Apply to pimple(s). Leave on and it will dry them out. PRESTO! they will be gone quicker now! Oh yea, and don't freak when the baking soda and lemon juice start fizzing. IT'S OKAY!
Hope this helps!
Love,
Andrea

Abram's Daughters series by Beverly Lewis

Summary(of book 1): Years of secrecy bind the tiny Amish community of Gobbler's Knob more than it's inhabitants know, and the plain folk who farm the land rarely interact with any "fancy" English locals. So when Sadie is beguiled by a dark-haired English boy it is Sadie's sister, Leah who suffers from Sadie's shameful loss of innocence. And what of Leah's sweetheart, Jonas Mast, sent to Ohio under the Bishop's command? Drawn into an incomprehensible pact with her older sister, Leah finds her hopes and dreams spinning out of control, even as she clings desperately to the promises of God. The Covenant begins a powerful Lancaster portrait of the power of family and the miracle of hope.

What I'm Doing...

Ballet, High School, Cooking, Cleaning my room, Blogging, Getting Braces (YES, I now have braces AGAIN!), having sleepovers, reading etc. etc.

Hope this filled you in a little bit! Love ya'll!

Student Driver...

As most of you know (or may not know!) I am currently in the process of taking driver's ed! As just about any other 14 year old in the United States, I am learning to drive! Exciting or scary, you decide! Anyways, so today my patient Daddy took me driving. (Don't worrry it was in a place with no houses and paved roads so there was no threats of collisions.) I thought I'd let you all know how this crazyness is going! I am having trouble turning into the correct lane at stop signs and I also am having some problems backing up. But other than that it is going fantastic!! It is my goal to be on the road in the beginning of 2011! :o)

So all I can say is: Look out drivers! Cause here I come!!

(found this pic on the internet and HAD to post it!!)
