Day 10

I can't believe that I have not posted anything for like four months! I am a horrible person! A lot has gone on in the four almost five months! Should I fill you in?

In january I was driving at night and the roads were extremely icy. I was being very cautious and going slow when a big truck came flying around the corner and hit me! My car has a big dent now and it is all scratched up... grrr! I was fine thought I had a little bit of back pain but I am all better now. I thank the lord that it was not any worse.

In february my brothers old girl friend got married and he was invited to the wedding. Here is the thing, Aaron, my brother, is wild and crazy! He knows how to party and loves to have fun. Aaron also owns a party bus but, it is not like a white pedo bus(Aaron did use to have a Pedo Van but that is a different story), it is a short school bus that says "Private Carrier" on the top. Aaron called me that night before the wedding and asked if I could drive his bus, filled with people in it to the wedding. I immediately said yes, not knowing what I was getting in to. When I arrived at his house that night he was still getting ready. He threw me the bus keys and told me to drive around the block to get the hang of it. I had never driven a bus before and I had only had my license for four months. I managed to figure it out and get the hang of it. A half an hour later the bus was filled with 15 twenty five year olds with drinks in there hands having a blast as I drove to the wedding. Once arriving at the wedding I had to park in a sketchy back parking lot with no over head lights with the moon shining over head. When everyone disembarked the bus Aaron let me know that I was not allowed in to the wedding and that I was to remain in the bus. Luckily the bus was fully loaded with a TV, Rockband, PS3, drinks, and a sick sound system. That night was full of laughs. Aaron would come out every 20 minutes to fill his red drink cup with a few friends and check in on me. Through out the night the bus managed to die and I had to jump it with a Escalade. I had pizza delivered to the bus and yes ALFY's does deliver to buses. I inhaled a lot of exhaust and almost got in a fight with two guys that got on to the bus and tried to steal the booze. That night was a wirl wind of fun and definitely unforgettable:)

We are in full swing with our 8th annual golf tourney and dinner auction for the youth group and it is extremely busy.

And last night I was driving in my cousins car and we got in a car accident with a huge van. their car was completely fine but her car was almost totaled. We are okay but she is a little shaken up. Your prayers would be appreciated:)

My piece of happiness today comes from this video, I know it is old but it always makes me laugh! "GO GET SOME PANTS ON!"
Go watch it!

Day 9

Again this is going to be another quick blog but so be it.

My piece of happiness is from this morning. I went to church to teach preschool and I went to visit Jim. I lost my favorite ring 3 weeks ago and I was devastated:( But this morning Jim found it! I was soooooo excited there were so many memories with that ring. I got it on vacation at a lake we go to every year and they stopped making them.

It will be a very busy week with finals so sorry if I miss a day.

Love you all,
Alli

Day 8

Today has been very good I had a shaky start but it has only gotten better.

My piece of happiness was from a birthday dinner for my friend Stacey. She said that she would eat the pepper that was on my salad. She didn't think it would be hot;) She took a bite and the juice sprayed every where and she started to cry! It was hilarious! Bahahhahaha any way sorry this was short but I have Caroline, Jesse, and Kyle over so I have to go.

Keep Searching,
Alli

Day 7

So I am racing the clock trying to get this in before midnight:)

I just got back from taking my brother Aaron to the airport and I love taking him there and picking him up because it is great quality time. This week has been so amazing! I have tried so hard to work on last sundays sermon that Pastor Mark preached and it was about how we shouldn't worry and live in the day and it has helped.

My piece of happiness comes from when I had dinner with my friends. There were 6 girls and that can get loud so I was trying to keep our table quiet but I thought that we were definitely annoying people because of our constant giggling:) There was an older couple sitting in front of us and when they stood up to leave they walked to our table and she looked at me and asked when grade are you in? I told her and she said that most girls our age were loud and obnoxious when there are six together. I was thinking great I just disappointed an old lady but she then said how well behaved we were and told us she appreciated our kindness:) she didn't realize that her saying that made my whole day! That is the best feeling, the feeling of appreciation:)

Sorry for all of the run on sentences and grammatical errors. :(

Racing the clock,
Alli

Day 6

This is going to be short and sweet because we had our small group bible study and it went long and I just got home. My piece of happiness today was from my friend Sonja. We were in english reading Lord Of The Flies and the beastie was mentioned. She drew me s picture of the cutest monster ever! It is on my binder cover and it makes me smile every time I look at it! He is big and purple with one eye and one horn:)

Hey check out this song it hit me hard today because I feel his words. It is called Breakeven by The Script.

Sorry it was short guys,
Alli

Day 5

Today has been a fun day! It was my aunt Patty's birthday and we made matching t-shirts that say "Team Pattles" on them! They are amazing! School went well I had A LOT of homework but it is under control now. Phew... I am currently making a new cd with songs that make me happy and that are catchy:) I usually listen to music that matches my mood. If I am angry I will listen to hard rock. If I am trying to get pumped up for something I will listen to something thuggin. If I am on a new adventure I will play some classic rock. And if I am studying or content I will listen to acoustic.

My brother Aaron came by tonight and I was able to talk and tell stories with him and I always feel so amazing once I get to spend quality time with my brothers. I am not at the age that I feel it is now acceptable for them to see me with them sense they are so much older than I am but i love hanging out with them. They are my role models:)

My piece of happiness is from when I was driving home from Pattles birthday celebration. I was driving on the freeway and the sun was setting and the sunset was beautiful! I felt SO blessed that God has led me to this beautiful place filled with astonishing nature. The colors of the sun were reflecting perfectly off of the mountains and the sky glowed with a vibrant pink/orange color. The beauty of the northwest it amazing! It mad me so happy that I am blessed with being able to enjoy the nature.

Day 4

HOLA!
How are you all doing today? I hope your day has been well. Today was pretty awesome for me. There were no big stressors and I got to see a few of my favorite people today! I went to school and had a surprisingly fun day with classed that I understood. I am trying to stay ahead so next week I wont be too overwhelmed.

I am amazed that I have been able to keep up with blogging every night. But, it has only been 4 days but still that is and accomplishment. So my father has been sick for the passed 2 months and it is very nerve racking for our family so this is a good way for me to take my mind off of him:(

My Piece of happiness is from when I went to visit my youth pastor to pick up my small group list for the middle school kids that I lead every week and one of his interns Kyle showed me a prank call from a local radio show he had heard in the morning. He said it reminded him of me and my cousin Caroline because we are loosing weight. It is really brutal but HILARIOUS! It brought a smile to my face and that is why I love hanging out with them because they are my best friends:)

Keep searching for happiness,
Alli

P.S. Tell me your little pieces of happiness!
