Mindi

so this week has been uhh..........CRAZY!! I have projects coming out of my ears and papers that are due like everyday!! ahh!! don't you just love highshcool?? lol so yeah this week has been a little crazy work wise but my family is coming into town this weekend to celebrate the marriage of my cousin Elizabeth and her fiance' Abishake! (we call him Shake for short) Shake is from India and in India the traditional wedding lasts for like a week I think and everyday is filled with a celebration. Well what they both decided to do is make the wedding 4 days and mix the 2 cultures into one cermony. Wednesday night was a gift ceremony, Thursday night was the Mindi ceremony, Friday night was the rehearsal dinner, and tonight is the wedding! Now, you may be wondering what a Mindi ceremony is! Well Mindi is pretty much like Henna. and in India it is tradition for the bride to get her arms Mindi-ed like a glove sort of. So my cousin Elizabeth has these beautiful intricate designs up and down her arms. At the ceremony the Mindi artist stayed and the girl family members and friends got Mindi on their hands as well. So yes I have Mindi on both of my hands and it's beautiful! My mom got it done, I got it done and even my grandma got her hand Mindi-ed! Now you might still be a little unclear on what it is...its like a Henna tattoo sort of. It will slowly begin to fade away after a couple weeks. Here is a picture...

This is Elizabeth's Mindi

This is mine (right) and my mom's (left)

This was what I wore to the Mindi ceremony! It was a gift from Shake's mom and she got it from India! Isn't it nice! I told my mom that I wanted to go India to get another one! =]

never too old to love your mama!!

so as most of you know I am a huge mama's girl and I always have been. most teenagers would be embarrassed to have their parents around but I often find my mom insisting that she not be around me instead of the other way. anyway the other day me and my mom decided to wear the same shirt all day. even though I was at school and she was at work and no one would notice that we had the same shirt on it just reminded me a lot of when I was younger and made me realize that you are never too old to love your mama!!! haha!! luv ya mom!

Dad

Strong, Powerful, Gentle, Kind

Loving and Gracious all the time

Enduring, Patient, Teacher, Friend

I know you'll be with me till the end

You've been there in bad times and been there in good

You've never left though you easily could

You never gave up and because of that I'm here

Without you everything would be filled with fear

You've loved me and taught me all I need to know

A great man of God is what you show

So because your love for me is unconditional and true

I want to say Happy Birthday Dad and I love you too!

sir yes sir...

so in case you didn't know i'm in a class at school called ROTC and most people think that its like preparation for the Air force or Military or whatever but its actually really fun!! We are learning about survival this year and then in the years to come we will learn about aviation and then eventually learn how to fly an airplane. It's weird though because I originally took this class because I didn't want to do PE and I thought that by taking this class I would at least be learning something I can use and it has turned out to be really cool. but anyways we were issued a uniform and every Wednesday you are required to wear the uniform. so yesterday being Wednesday and all, I wore it to school. the only thing that I really messed up was that my name tag was 5/8 of an inch too far to the right. yeah they get that precise!! It's a lot of fun though! But tomorrow is going to be the complete opposite. We are supposed to wear tennis shoes because we are going to go outside and play capture the chicken?!?!? yeah you heard me...capture the chicken!! (wait i'm in high school right??) it's supposed to teach you team work but it just sounds like a lot of fun to me!! lol

ONE REPUBLIC PICS!!!

here are a couple of pictures from when i got to meet One Republic!!

*notice his arm is around me!! haha!!
