It feels so good to be writing in here again...I cannot believe i'm back! This is astonishing. lol But staying away from xanga that long was detrimental to poor 'ole Grace Lee. So a lot of things have happened since I last updated but there's no way I can write it all.

I am just glad i am back..so i will have a nice post tomorrow

love to you all! 

I haven't updated in a week! wow. too long for myself. but this week has been bad. I've just been so tired. WHOLE WEEK. and i'm glad we got another week coming up. but uh~oh!! lol no school monday or tuesday!! i love mr. sonny perdue. he's the coolest. Nothing really happend this week except HC nominations and Peggy's party. So Kristal nominated me for HC and so did Janel and Will  I love them. And I nominated Kristal and Wes. If you're in my grade, then please vote WES CARTER FOR HC! he's the coolest  and please vote me  but whatever. I REALLY DO WANT IT but it'll be ok if i didn't get it. Peggy's party was fun in all actuality  I didn't start dancing until the last hour but it was still good with bonnie and kristal and lindsey hearing. So I danced with a few of the guys there. hm..let's see:: daniel, max, whit's friend, keith ((dont ask lol)), jeremy, jason ((janel's friend)). I think that's it. can't really remember. There was an expectation of a blow-out party with about 80 people but not that many people showed up. But it was still good. She had an awesome DJ. lol i know cuz it was same DJ company I had at my party. And yeah. They're really good. And she gave out goody bags and burned party mix CD she made. and there was food but I couldn't tell you if it was good or not cuz all i had was two chips whole party. There was some stuff going on at the party. Nothing really bad, but not innocent either. I'll just say I was faced with peer pressure and i denied it to myself and i was very proud of myself.  ok. So it was the last song and I felt bad cuz I didn't think anyone danced with Keith yet. So me and him danced. And mrs. ellis comes up to me and goes "Grace. I want to thank you for dancing with keith. that was very sweet of you." I told her no problem. lol it was fun i guess. and i told my mommy and he was the kid i almost slapped upside the head in band  yes. weird. i danced close with whit's friend.  he was very nice. lol max was acting all asian. and kristal was strutting her stuff!! i love that girl. and janel looked sooo hott. it was a good party. lol kristen was acting crazy and so was brittany. lol her skirt was hiking up and down and me and jacqui kept on nodding our head badly. i love and miss jaqui-hoe!

well got to go..leave me some! <3

LONG DAY. But wasn't that bad. Chapel was awesome! =] I sat with Kristen and Karen Boo Baren. I love those two dolls. Alycia wanted me to sit with her, but I promised Kristen yesterday that I would. Mr. Bishop spoke today. He was talking about many things, but one that I can remember clearly:: "Trust into God for all things." This past week with our fall break, I didn't really read the Bible even though I should. I honestly barely read it and that saddens me. And I feel ashamed because of that. But I want to become closer with him. SO I hope my walk with him this week is much more stronger. I learned this past week, without going anywhere but just being at home. "Don't rely on other people or objects or materialistic things to satisfy one's needs. God should be glorified everyday and our days should go by with optimisim and just thanking him for letting us have meals everyday and living in a good house when so many are unhoused with Katrina and all around the world. There's so many things we take for granted. And we rely on like boys or tests or quizzes for us to say whether our day was good or bad. But those are little things compared to so many things faced in this world. So each day we should just be thankful and I realized that today when Mr. Bishop was talking about what we learned this past week..that's what i learned." "Be happy for everything and anything because it is all great--just depends how you look at it."

I feel much better now after writing that.  Bible was awesome today! Mr. McClure was talking about his Costa Rica mission trip with the seniors. He really talked about Katie Howell and Anslee Lambert today because they spread God's love to those little kids and people down there with just their open hearts and big smiles. And we don't see many people around school who is always smiling. It's impossible, but yet they were able to do that and express love with just a smile. That's what I try to do, but i'm not perfect. =] lol And that's why I give big hugs. Whimpy hugs are for losers . I give big bear hugs. But anways he talked about Costa Rica the whole period and I really enjoyed it. Science was good too. We watched a video over the Brazilian rainforests and how more portions of the great rainforest is being cut each and every day. And we're doing a project right now that's making a difference..For those who don't know, there's an Earth T-Shirt Foundation that sells awesome t--shirts as a fundraiser to save acres of the rainforest. If one sells ten t--shirts, then one acre is saved. If i see you at school, please ask me about this and i'll show you the shirts..They really are cute and they're only $14 and it's for a great cause!!! WA still does it and I think Mr. Maddoz is just following them =P Chris Conneley keeps on bugging me now when he sees Caleb approach me and hug me and stuff. To make it official, I don't like Caleb and I don't know if he likes me. But I only think of him as a friend. But sometimes I think he hits that border for me. lol. Chris cracks me up though. I saw him throughout the halls today and EVERYTIME caleb was around so was chris and he always had to have a remark to it, but whatever. mwhwha..i gave lots and lots of hugs today!! alycia was my first victim. lol. i practically squeezed the life out of jelly. I love her though. Then karen came up to me and so did Kristen being all estatic and Christian and Caleb and other peeps hugged me..HUGS MAKE THE WORLD GO ROUND..Then finally I had piano lessons in Norcross at 8::30. I love my new teacher! I've had her for about 4 weeks now =? She's really nice and sweet. But my mom came at like 9::40 and she was ten minutes late so I waited in So Moo's car. She came from Korea five years ago. She's sweet!! Well there's my day. Very long day and it wasn't bad at all, if I think about it..later taters!! Thanks for all the comments
