I seem to think better in little snippets and pictures....so here ya go. ;)
1. I left the soccer team I've been on since I was nine. Things with the coach weren't going well, a few of my friends were leaving too.....and it was just time. I cried a lot last week, but I'm okay now. I got picked up by another great team, that has a friend from wayyyy back on it. I'll never forget my old girls, nor the times we've had together----but it's time for a new chapter in my life to start.

2. On Tuesday, I went to Kings Dominion for the first time!!!! Abby and Brittany {teammates from the Christian school I played for} invited me....and I'm so glad they did! They actually managed to get me on three rollercoasters. *shakes head* Yes, I gave into peer pressure.....and yes, I did actually have a lot of fun. But don't worry: I did not let them get me on the Intimidator, the Drop Zone, or the Crypt {isn't that a scary name anyway?!?}. No matter how hard Abby and David pushed, I was not getting on any of those rides. Not even a pinky-promise could get me on the Crypt...first time I've ever broken one too. I think it was worth it, though.
Anyway, their youth group is so much fun, and I hope I get to hang with them all sometime again this summer.

3. On the way home, Abby and I were discussing Disney characters and stuff like that. Well, she decided that I am like Wendy from Peter Pan. When I wasn't too excited about that, David pointed out that I'm more like Mary-Jane from Spiderman. Thoughts?
Mary Jane....but I don't have red hair.
Wendy....but I don't have curls and my eyes aren't blue.
Oh well, I suppose Wendy and Mary Jane aren't the worst characters ever....I penned David as Mowgli from The Jungle Book {'cept with clothes} and Abby as Sally from Cars. *cracks up*
4. Once again, I'm getting the itch to travel. I wish I had my license so I could hop in the car, pop in a good cd, and just drive. I just need a change from my everyday life......

5. I finally got to see Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides last weekend!!! Oh my word, I totally loved it. And, surprisingly, I didn't miss Will and Elizabeth too much.....thanks to this lovely couple.
PHILIP WAS A MISSIONARY!!!!!!!!!! And while he wasn't the most sound missionary ever, he still brought a better light to Christianity for the movie. I eventually learned to like Serena, even if she did *spoiler alert* almost cause Philip to die. Downside: the mermaids were really scary. Just sayin'.
6. The best thing about summer is the freedom to read whatever and whenever I want! Ted Dekker, Beverly Lewis, and C.S. Lewis have been dominating my reading chair lately. I'm so thankful for the library---without it, I would most certainly be broke from buying new books.
7. I'm having a serious longing for Disney World. It's been a year and a half since my family last went....and not being in the happiest place on earth is starting to tax me.Whenever I'm at Disney World, I can forget all the outside troubles and worries of normal life, and just be happy. I seriously want to be there right now.

NO DON'T TALK ABOUT THE NEW PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN MOVIE!!! I HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET!!! HOW COULD YOU!?!?! I WANTED TO FIND OUT FOR MYSELF!!!! Okay, I'm done :P But seriously, I'm going to see this movie now. Like, tomorrow. Yeah, totally. Cool lil' list, girlie! Glad you had the guts to go on a roller coaster, period. I hate roller coasters. They make me sick. And I haven't really been on one, but I've been on alot of similar-to-roller coaster-rides, and I didn't like it, so there. LOL. And when you get your license and travel, I'm coming with you. We should totally go to Narnia! Okay, it's a deal.
OMYGOSH TED DEKKER!!!! I'm reading his book "Saint" as we type (since technically we're not speaking) it's so cool. I love how he fakes you out with the book cover and the name. You think the book is going to be about something specific, but instead, it's the complete opposite. LOVE Ted Dekker. love, Love, LOVE!!
Okay, I'm done now. Here's to super long comments! *cheers with soda pop* Love ya, girlie :))

Don't worry, dear...I HATE big rides too! *shivers* And me and you have the same taste for summer reading, I'm breaking out the exact same authors! I'm currently on C.S Lewis right now:)
Sounds like your having a fun summer<3
Blessings<3
Hey if you want to come to Disney, just fly down here! I'll take ya. Not to mention the fact that I can get myself and two others in for free. :)
So you wanna come? Seriously. :)
Pirates of the Carribian sounded really good. I want to see it!
Have a wonderful day my friend!!! xxxx~Kelsey
i dont have internet so dont worry about asking me. Call me anytime...pleeeeeeeaaaasee.
Hey Lily! It's been like 43546 years since I commented. D: I hope all is well for you! :D
I'm sorry you had to quit your old soccer team. :( But I'm really glad you were able to join a new one so quickly. It's like that saying, one door closes and another one opens. :)
I can't wait to see the new Pirates movie! From the trailers I've seen the mermaids do look kind of creepy... O.o
I always say I'm going to do tons of reading during the summer, but I never do. I've only read two books so far. :| I'm working on The Bourne Identity as of now. :)
Aren't you a White Collar fan? I officially started following this season! :D
Okie dokie, sorry for the letter of a comment. ;)
Heheh, this post made me happy. =)
Mary Jane and Wendy are pretty cool! It could be a lot worse...I've been pinned as and Tigger (from Winnie the Pooh) and Jack Sparrow (why guys? I don't know...).
Anndd speaking of Jack Sparrow, I liked On Stranger Tides too! It wasn't the most amazing thing ever, but it was still good.
I LOVE that about summer--more reading time. I have Jane Austen and C.S. Lewis books on my list. ;)
<3, Jenn
