Wow, i love this song! I am listening to "Man, I feel like a Woman" by Shania Twain-awesome song! (thanks, Kt for letting me listen to it! lol!)

   ok, so i have so majorly exciting news, guys!!!! I can drive on the roads-AHHHH! (ok, so I do have to have someone 21 or older with me, but still! It's better than just being able to drive in deserted parking lots! lol!) I was really nervous, even though I'd heard from most of my friends that the test was so easy. I missed one out of 30, and it was something about how many days you have to tell the DMV, if you change your name and address. So, i am excited! I got to drive home-most of the way. My dad drove to a park  and then we switched and i just drove on backroads till we got home. It was mucho exciting! lol!

   Yesterday we had school off, because of Labor Day, and i am so glad, cuz it means one extra day to sleep in and not have to go to school! lol! My family and relatives who live here in SC had a party. I got some money, a Kohl's gift card and from my parents..............(drumroll, please. lol!)........i got a digital camera!!! It's so cool, and i am going to put pics on after i finish my update, so ya. Oh-funny story! Philip and I were wanting to do some games at the party yesterday, and one of them, Phil wanted to be Pin the tail on the Donkey. So, before we left, phil made a poster and some tails. ( I am going to put pics on later-they are hilarious!) Well, it was kind of done really fast, so it's not the best and we didn't have gray, so it's a blue donkey, that looks like an elephant. Well, when we were putting the poster up, my mom, step g-ma, great aunt and g-pa started laughing,and we were like, what? Phil had drawn the pic from the rear view of a donkey, cuz that's what we thought all the pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey posters are, that u get at a store. But they're all from the side view, so ya-my mom was kind of embarrassed. Hey, we grew up in Africa and Russia-you can't blame us! lol! jkjk so, yeah, i guess it's kind of a "you had to be there" story! lol!

  On Sunday, we went to church,came home, hung around and watched some tv, and then we went to sunday night church, at the Alliance church for the first time(long story why we go to two diff. churches-i'll save it for another time! lol! jk) and we went to the first youth group of the year-it was great! It's just like youth group back home in Guinea, which i have and still do miss like crazy! It's small, so everybody knows eachother, we will have a bible study, but also play games, and the youth pastor and his wife are awesome, and yeah-i felt like i was home again!! And we played football-very fun, except i got bitten up by aunts-not fun! lol! Our team lost, but it was great!

   I sort of have a dance  made for the tryouts, but i still don't know if i am going to actually try out-it's driving me crazy! lol!

  Ok, gtg, cuz the tacos are calling my name! lol! MISS YOU GUYS LIKE CRAZY AND LOVE U ALL LIKE SISTERS AND BROTHERS!!! Praying for you all!! U all are the coolest every!

ok, don't laugh at our beautiful drawing! lol! jk-laugh all u want! That's supposed to be a donkey, but it looks more like an elephant! lol!! It shocked my soooo much:

 This is at our grandparent's house, where we had the party.

Well, that's all for right now, guys! Next time, i'll post some random pics and pics of my room! gtg! luv and miss u you all like crazy! God bless!!!

Guess what guys? Yesterday, at 8:15 i became a 15 year old!!! WOOOOO!!! yeah, baby! lol! can u tell i am excited?! lol!! So, it's cool, cuz like, most of my friends have turned 15 already and gotten their permits and stuff, i was still a 14 year old, who's in 10th grade and hasn't gotten my permit. But, it's cool. And i have finally finished reading the driving book and am going to go take the permit test tomorrow, and i hope and pray that i will get it! Everybody get off the road-Julia is going to be driving! lol!! jkjk I miss u guys!! My life has been busy since school has started-it's crazy!! I have a lot of homework and it seems like it's school 24/7 for me, which, ya i don't really like, but, hopefully it will get less busy!

  Oh-guess what i got for my b-day? A digital camera! It's very cool, and hopefully this means i'll be posting a lot more pics on here!!! lol! So, yesterday, my family and i had a small party, and then monday, my family and all our relatives who live here in SC are going to have a party, and then next weekend, some friends and i are going to be going ice-skating, which i have wanted to do all my life, and hopefully finally will, so i am excited!! lol!

   so, what's going on with you all??!!! I haven't checked my e-mail in awhile, but i am hoping that i have a lot in my mailbox!!!lol!! How's life for you all??!! I need to write to all of you sometime, and hopefully that will be this weekend(do u see how much i use the word hopefully? lol!), so, ya! I am miss chatting with u all and have like a craving for chatt, so we def. need to set that up!!

  Oh, guess what, peoples? I might be trying out for the dance team!!! My friend Chelsea tried out in the spring, and she told me that they taught them the dance and u did it in front of judges, so i was like, i could probably try that! I do like to dance, and u guys might think that's surprising, but u haven't seen me when i am alone in my room-i break it DOWN!!! lol!! jkjk I am not that great, but i thought i could atleast try. I taught myself 3/4 of the Highschool Musical Dance, We're All In This Together( i love that movie and all those songs-oh my word!!! Zac is HOT!!! sorry, had to say that! lol!! so, ask me about that next time i see ya-you never know! I just might show u the dance! lol!!). So,my friend, Laura, and I went to the meeting after school on Wednesday, which was just about the team and everything. Well, guess what i find out? We  have to make up our OWN dance to try out! How am i supposed to do that?? I'll just do the macarena or something! lol!!! jk So, i am not sure if I am going to try out anymore. I don't know. I would love it if u guys would pray about that!!

   Ok, this is getting kind of long, so i am going to say Astalavista! I miss u all and love u all lots! And if u ever need to talk to me,want me to pray about something, or just spill your guts out to me( lol!), i am here for u all, and think u guys are flippin awesome and love u to death!! Ttyl!!!

Hey guys! Ok, so, i don't know if i have told u, but we got some sad news on August 4th that our uncle died. I can't go into details, but some friends of his found him dead that morning in his bed. So, on Sunday, we drove down to Florida for the funeral and then drove back yesterday(tuesday). I think i was about to go crazy-sitting 12 hours straight in a van will do that to you!! lol!! But, ya. I am glad we got to go to the funeral. We got to see the body and stuff, and Steve and I kept thinking we saw him breathe! lol! So, we're back, and had to go to school today. oh! i haven't told u guys about how the first week of school went! sorry! must be getting old cuz i am forgetting stuff already! lol! I have good classes, except for english. I usually love english, but this teacher is probably going to make us do a lot of things in front of the class, which i hate, but maybe doin it a lot will make me get better at it.   I got to see most of my friends, which was awesome, but not all.But, i'll probably see them sometime soon-hopefully! lol! tty all latta! later skaters! (lol! just heard that and love it!) miss and luv ya all!!!!

SCHOOL STARTS TOMORROW!!!! ahhhh! lol!

P.S. Sorry for such a short update! Not much else to say!! lol! miss u all!!

But, seriously. I would love it if someone could tell me how tdo do all those things!!

     I have had such an exciting life lately, peoples-NOT!! lol! But,my cousin is coming down on Tuesday, to stay with my grandparents and visit us and stuff too, so that will be freakin gregascious!! (lol! i totally made that word up-unless someone else has heard it before. Then that would stink! i should make other words up, but how did we get on this subject? lol!) We will probably be able to go midnight bowling!! How awesome is midnight bowling?! I love staying up late, and bowling, which, put together, makes me a very happy person! lol! My mom and bro found out about midnight bowling,when they went bowling(i know-who would have thought that that's how they found out!) and it only costs 2 bucks for one lane, from midnight till 2, on friday nights!
