Banquet 2010

Well, this year, I was asked to the banquet by Lucas Ryder! I was very surprised and had a really, really awesome time! Before we went to the banquet, we drove to Eden Park with Ryan Watters and Charity Frazier and got some pictures. We were supposed to go to a bridge, but it started pouring rain and that idea didn't work out. Instead we went to a little gazebo where got some quick pictures.

I think this is my favorite picture! Ely did my hair and she did an awesome job! Thanks Ely!

The sky was really dark and cloudy, but it was a really cool background for a lot of our pictures.

Me, my dress and my pretty flowers!

Ryan and Charity are just so cute! She wanted us to make sure we got her shoes!

The happy little couple!

I love the sky in this picture.

This was actually right before it started pouring and it even hailed on Joe Hough's head!

The whole group. We hung out together all night and had a blast! While we were at the gazebo some other couples from GBS stopped by for pictures, so we cabbaged them and had them take some pictures of the whole group.

The girls (Charity, Ally, Kendra Tichenor, Abby Crissinger and I) ended up waiting in the gazebo while the guys ran to get the cars. We caught a quick, rain drop filled picture.

Lucas and I at the banquet. The food was delicious this year. They had salad, rolls, vegetables, red skin potatoes, a really delicious pasta dish and ham. Yummy! For dessert there was a fondue fountain with lots of dunking options! Mmmm! :0)

Janeane and Darrin.

Darrin is a twin from UBC that came along with Janeane. They were actually late to the banquet because they were in a wreck. They were ok, just a little shaken up. While they were on there way, they won a door prize, so hopefully that made them feel better!

Heidi and Hannah sat across from Ely and I on choir tour and we had a really fun time! Loren's brother, Byron, got in the picture too with his head poking through the middle! Haha!

The Girls: Charity and I

After the banquet, we all four went to starbucks and played Uno for a really long time. It was sooo fun! Then we all went over to Melissa Phelps house and had even more fun playing games at her house! The night ended after we found out that a person in the boy's dorm, who didn't go to the banquet, was racing snakes down the hall! See, lesson learned, everyone should always go to the banquet! :0)

Thanks everyone for a really fun evening! I had a blast! :0)

Snow days!

Over the last two weeks, we had FOUR snow days here at GBS! It was really nice to have some time to breathe and sleep in a little. Now, they weren't four days in a row, which would have been even nicer, but they were split up into two days each week! The first week, the school had an organized snow fight on the baseball field! I went over and watched for a bit and it was a really fun time! The next week, we got some pictures outside in the snow! We even got to have movie night in the cafeteria, complete with TONS of popcorn! Mmm.. :0)

Yoshi never takes a picture with a straight face!

So, Ely just decided to be crazy, too!

Randomness

A while back, a group of girls and I went thrift store shopping and then bowling afterward. Here are some pics from bowling.

One Saturday, Ely, Karlita and I got up early and headed off to the Cincinnati Music Hall at ... 10:00 AM! Haha, we had lots of fun and I got a parking spot right across the street from the front door!

That evening, a big group went to Barnes and Noble Bookstore where we ended up playing Catch Phrase and reading silly books in the childrens section!

Looking at books.

Playing Catch Phrase in the children's section!

(Not really sure what I'm doing here!)

Karlita, Ely and I went off campus for some much needed girl time and we got a little goofy! ;0)

Haha! Love the curlers! ;0)

Last weekend, was Valentines Day weekend and also the Highschool volleyball and basketball competition here at GBS.

Ely, Karlita and I watching the games!

Love you guys! :0)

Christmas Break 2009-2010

Hi!

This christmas break was a lot of fun! I invited Grace and Gloria Ji home with me.

It started out with a Christmas Keeling concert and a trip to Kings with friends! Then on Sunday, our church had a live nativity in the parking lot, which was a lot of fun and pretty cold too. There was also a very stubborn donkey that ended up taking a bite out of one of the angel's wings! Monday morning was a sad day, but on Wednesday night our church went Christmas caroling. That was fun and again...very cold! Christmas was really awesome and we got everything we ever wished for! :0) Well, maybe not quite!

Mom opening hers.

Grace opening her gifts.

Dad got gifts, too! ;0)

Our poor living room after all the damage was done!

Two times over break, we got to eat Korean food for supper and it was really cool. Grace and Gloria are good cooks!

After Christmas was a whirlwind of activity! On Saturday we went ice skating in Meadville.

Then, church on Sunday, a trip to Cranberry, shopping, eating, bowling and a movie on Tuesday.

The next day, Wednesday, was full of shooting clays, riding the 3-wheeler and rollerblading.

Dad shooting the muzzleloader!

Me shooting the muzzleloader! It was SOO fun! :0)

Thursday was New Year's Eve and I started the day out with McDonald's and 4-wheeling, then came home for a Korean meal and a huge party at our house! We partied hard and ate lots of delicious food, complete with fiery hot Cheese ;0)

We also had christmas with the Russell's!

In the end, we shot the guns to bring in the New Year for a full 20 minutes!

Later, we even found out that some expert marksman shot the fence in two!

The next day was New Year's Day and I had fun doing some pretty extreme sledding down an awesome hill and also behind a 4-wheeler, while other people practiced barrel rolls on the turns! ;0) Then it started to snow pretty bad and we headed for Long John Silver's. Later that evening, I had a blast with a huge group of friends and my family at the Stoneboro school gym for some dodgeball and volleyball!

Grace and Gloria relaxing!

On Saturday, amidst the bad weather, we had taco's for lunch and then headed to Meadville to watch "The Squeakquel." After that, a trip to Wal-mart and McDonalds, before some bowling in Cochranton with friends!

Sunday was pretty much a normal day except that it was our last full day home, so...the rest of the family that was still there came over for lunch. It was fun and home food is absolutely the BEST ever! :0) Church that evening was a sad time, because we had to say goodbye to all our friends! Then Monday, we drove back to Cincinnati! The whole break was a lot of fun and I'm glad I had the opportunity to make new friends and have a blast at home! Now it's back into the rush of things here at GBS. I think this semester will go fast, though! However, I won't be able to go home for more than one night the entire four months! :0( Oh well, it'll be summer before I know it and I'll be a Junior here a GBS! Ahhh... now that's a thought that just needs to be thought on for a while! Hope you all have a wonderful 2010!
