When in Guatemala last October, I had a wonderful time. I seen a lot of stuff and ate a lot of different foods that I am not used to. This made my gallbladder act up. On the plane ride home I had my first attack. It was the worst thing I have ever expedience. I seriously thought I was going to die. I sleep through it as much as could but the pain seemed to keep me up.
When I got back mom took me to the doctor the next day. The doctor thought that I had just caught a bug while in Guatemala. He said that I would just have to wait it through and let my body kill it off. I eventually got better but was never the same.
I got sick again about a month later. It was even worse. The worst part about it is (if you cannot deal with nasty stuff don't read this part) my poop was white. Yes white. So white that mom took me to the hospital thinking I was dying or something(which I felt like I was). I felt like I was stabbed in the rib and I couldn't even breath.
The doctor finally thought that I must have gallstones so they took me in for an ultrasound. The test came out inconclusive, they didn't' find any stones. He said that since my stool was white that he was going to send me for another test, an nuclear medicine kind of test. They shot me up with radioactive material and video taped as they watched where it went. The test ended up showing that my gall bladder was not working hardly at all causing gall stone like pain.
It turns out that when my mom was my age it did the same thing to her so I am guessing it is genetic. I ended up having surgery and getting it removed. So now I am an organ short and feeling much better!

Why I Have the Bestest of Friends
Freshman year I moved schools. I went to a place where I knew no one. At first I was friends with a few people but I soon figured out that I was in the wrong crowd. They did bad things that I didn't want to do. So I went off on my own.
I felt sad and lonely. I would hear about parties going on, both good and bad, and I was never invited. It wasn't until I got invited to an end of the year party when I got to know my soon to be best friends.
I was hesitant at first. I knew some of the people there and, for sure, not very well. Next thing I knew I found out that they were at just as nice, caring, fun, and crazy as I am. We had the best of times doing things that most people would is dumb and stupid. However, it kept us out of trouble and kept the laughs a rolling.
Now I know that they would be there for me through anything becasue they have helped me through tough situations. I love them more than anyone could know and I am so glad that I was the new kid.

Redeeming Love
For those of you who don't know, Redeeming Love is my absolute favorite book ever written! I love it and that is such a big understatement. I'm obsessed! In fact, I am so obsessed that I freaked out daily to my friends as new things were happening within the story.
The book is based off of the book of Hosea in the bible. One doesn't even have to be a devoted christian to read and enjoy this book. But maybe, just maybe, it would help them find or take the next step in their journey with God.
The story is set in 1850, in the middle of California Gold Country. Angel (the main character) is a beautiful, young woman with a troubled past. She doesn't forsee life getting any better, or going anywhere, for that matter. She is hopeless and numb.
She was sold into prostitution at 8 years old. The only think she does in life is hate all the selfish people that come to see her. Then she meets Micheal Hosea (the man of my dreams).
Micheal obeys the Lord's mission for him to marry Angel, and slowly, he begins to thaw her frozen heart.
As this begins to happen, though, Angel is filled with feelings of unworthiness and fear, she flees. By the end of the story, readers realize that the only healing of her heart can come from is the one who created her. Even more than Micheal, the one that will not leave.
There is so many reasons why I love this book. It teaches God's love and ultimate plan for one's life, it gives the hopeless hope, and it brings a classic bible story to a new, modern light.

Carpool Adventures
A few weeks ago my good friend Kirsten started working with me at Wally word! She is a cashier and I am a Dairy associate. She lives pretty far away though, like 45 minutes. So I brought up to her that she should start staying with me to save money on gas and she accepted.
The first time that she stayed, our friend Marisa, a foreign exchange student from our sophomore year, was at my house for a visit to America. Marisa lives in Guatemala (right below Mexico). So Kirsten tagged along while we showed her some of the most American things you can find. We went to a rodeo, mud racing, watched a big fireworks show on Fourth of July, Silver Dollar City, Titanic Museum, the arch, city museum, malls and more malls, and last but not least the fair! She had classic American food like corn dogs, funnel cakes, and of course hamburgers. She still likes her food better which is hard to imagine. Her favorite food from America is Pop tarts, believe it or not. She ended up taking 2 packages back home with her.
The next time that Kirsten came to visit, I worked until 10 and she worked until only 5. So I told her to go ahead and go to my house. She did and when I finally got back she was asleep on my bed, Grey's Anatomy on the TV (my type of girl), and with a note beside her saying to wake her up, so I did. We ended up staying up for a long time and not waking up until it was time to go to work again.
She is actually currently at my house now and I love it. Who would have thought that you could have so much fun carpooling!

Why I Love Grey's Anatomy
I love Grey's Anatomy for so many reasons that I can't even name them all. However, I will name out some of the main reasons. I love Grey's because the have the life that I want, the have the best of friends that you could ever imagine, and there is, pardon my french, hot, manly doctors.
In Grey's Anatomy they are surgents. The already finished Medical School and all. They start out as interns and work their way up. I wish I was in that boat already. Getting all the way through medical school takes a whole lot of work and a long time to get there too. I don't think that I am going to go through all that work though because I am too scared that I wouldn't make it. There is too much competition and I have to be smart enough.
Everyone in Grey's Anatomy have friends that would die for each other, literally. In one episode there was a shooter in the hospital and Grey's friend risked her life to save grey's husband because she couldn't live without him. Now that is what I call a true friendship. I hope that I find a friend like that one day and maybe I already have but haven't had to go through something like that to find out.
Last but not least the show has so many hot, manly, successful doctors. You can even tell by their nicknames (MC Steamy and more), Every women needs to watch Grey's Anatomy even if just for that reason. Maybe one day I can live the dream by marrying a doctor like the ones in this show. That would just be so great!
As you can see the show is amazing but for so many other reasons that I would write forever about if I could. You should try watching it and when you do you will fall in love too.

Why I Love Goldfish
Goldfish are such relaxing, simple, and beautiful creatures. You might now think that I am crazy but let me explain. I love all animals, even skunks if they are babies, but I have a special love for my goldfish. Or, maybe it is just because I am sitting by them and I looked at them. I am not for sure. Even if that is the reason why all of the following is still true.
Goldfish are very relaxing. They don't try to get in your food, you don't have to train them, and you don't have to worry about their every move. The just swim around in their tank. You don't have to worry all the time. Goldfish are also relaxing to watch. It gets your mind off of things.
Goldfish are also very simple animals. The just have to be fed once a day, bowl cleaned every now and then, and enjoy them. Dogs required daily walking, to be fed several times a day, and have to be watched 24/7. Most animals are like dogs and required special needs unlike goldfish. The are simple and I love it!
Goldfish are also very, very beautiful creatures. Depends on the fish you get but goldfish could have very big, elaborate fines that flow in the water, they could have scales that sparkle in the light, and they smell and look nasty like a grown pig in the mud. Goldfish are naturally beautiful too. They don't have to have hair cuts, be combed, or even have bows to look pretty. The just come that way.
I hope that know you understand why I love goldfish so much. Maybe now you agree with my thoughts even. Don't get me wrong I love getting greeted at the door by your best friend, tail wagging, licking, and all, but I like to get a break and watch my fish too.

The Problems of Long Hair
Most everyone thinks that long hair is so beautiful and makes a women a "women". All of this and more is true, however, their is so much more to long, luscious hair. Is it worth it to you?
Let me start from the beginning. To get the long hair that you want you have to grow it out. You have to go through the awkward, ugly lengths and deal with it. It is and will be so hard not to cut it and start all over again.
Long hair is also so hard to brush. No matter if it is wet, dry, straight, or curly, it takes forever to brush it. I spent 15 to 20 minutes just brushing my hair (which is long). Did I mention that the brushing hurts. Brushing my hair feels like I am pulling out every single one of my hairs but all at the same time. Their is so many nots and tangles that you can't get rid of any other way other than brushing it.
Long hair is even hard to sleep with. You can't leave your hair down because it gets way too hot and get even more tangled than ever by morning. So you have to wear it in a ponytail/ bun. However, you have to have this ponytail/ bun in a special place. You must have the ponytail/ bun right on top of your head (the very top). You look ridiculous but if you don't you will have a monster of a headache when you wake up and possibly a bruised head(which is yet another thing that hurts).
Lastly long hair is so expensive to maintain. When you have long hair you must use twice as much shampoo, conditioner, hair products, and even so many extra ponytail holders. All of the extra hair products add up! Also when you have to wear two or three ponytails in your hair at a time and they break all the time that adds up too.
Even though long hair comes with all of these horrid, painful, and expensive details I believe that long hair is totally worth it. Long hair makes me feel like a beautiful girl and it is enjoyable when not having to deal with the pain of it.
