Day 2 of El Salvador
Second post of the trip. :) Sorry this is so late. Been busy. :) Ya know? I gave my presentation to the church yesterday. That was exciting. The power went out so everything messed up. Bleh. It came on right before my presentation and the slideshow was off and the video didn't work. :( Made me so sad. But, I still did it, so yay!
I lost my schedule so once I find it I'll edit the post and put it on here. :)
Day 2 July 17th, 2011
First off, today is Sunday. It's hot and I have to wear a skirt. Oh, btw, I have to wear long capris or jeans everyday because that's how they believe Christians should dress, cool huh? :) Anyways, got up way too early because of the time distance and our iPod and phone wouldn't change the times. Gr. I tried a fried banana. Ew. After breakfast we went to the church and greeted the people. Everyone was so eager and kind. We sang for them, gave them a puppet show, acted goofy, gave testimonies, played with the kids and prayed. It was amazing, After all that we handed out seeds so they could plant food they could eat from. (That was so stressful because they wanted more and more and it was sad.) After all that "good" stuff we went to lunch at a fancy fast food place. We sat down and ordered but it was definitely fast food, although it took awhile to come out. We had fried chicken, fries, break and a little dessert. It was AWESOME. (Look at how I'm a fattie talking about how good the food was. Ha.) Afterwards we went to the missionaries home, had orientation, learned about Survivor 21 (I'll explain that after my journal entry) and started bagging clothes, toys, and shoes. When we were done we moved on to our next church service. I was AMAZING. The people there were so much more enthusiastic then the church before. The night service went along the same way that the morning day one did but I could just feel God pouring out. After blessing them they blessed us with their kindness. They had made us all cookies and prepared us some punch. Once we finished there we went to a restaurant named Nash and ate pizza and watched the WEIRDEST music videos. Came "home" to some kicking fireworks. Oooh! Right after I went potty I come back out with my skirt tucked into my underwear and didn't know and accidentally mooned two people. EMBARRASSING, after that though we had a great devotional and planned for an awesome day tomorrow and then I climbed into bed. :)
<3
Okay. Survivor 21 is where two missionaries, Kenton and Lorin, stay in Los Heroes, one of the areas we went and helped, for 21 days and try to build a house each day. It's actually pretty cool. If you wanna check it out go to this website. survivorelsalvador.com/
Thanks for reading my faithful people. I love you guys. :)
Love always

Day 1 of El Salvador

Day 1 July 16th, 2011
I've experienced so many different things that already blow my mind. Before I get into that let me discuss my airplane rides. First off everyone got there on time, (Kendall, our leader, was late) which was a miracle in itself. Then we made it through security smoothly, another miracle. (Thank you Jesus!) Then came the waiting. It wasn't too long before we got to get on the plane and get our assigned seats. (That was new for me.) After a very short flight (about an hour) we grabbed lunch and high tailed it to our gate to meet the other half of the team. Before the team showed up, a couple of people who are natives from El Salvador came to us (didn't even know we were missionaries) and asked us to pray for a man that they had been watching. He was older and had something wrong with his brain. We got the chance to minister before we even left America. It was incredible. After all that good stuff, we got everyone situated and then flew into El Salvador (about two and a half hours, we had a two hour delay between flights). We breezed through customs and we went and found our missionaries, Kent and Lorin. (Their wives weren't there.) Once we all met up we hit up McDonalds for dinner. Which was better the US's and way better then the dinner on the plane (it was a crusty looking sandwich that had had black bread that was really hard and a nasty mustard). Ew. On our way "home" we learned a lot of new rules.
1. Do NOT flush the toilet paper. Small pipes.
2. Do NOT drink any water they don't approve of.
3. Do NOT eat anything unless they say so.
4. Do NOT leave the hotel on account of the gang violence.
5. Do NOT even think about eating without washing your hands and then Germ-Xing.
On the way home I also discovered some new things. All fast food delivers. At every restaurant there's a police officer stationed with a sawed off shot gun. Puma is a gas station name. (We may have those in the US but I've never seen them.) There's a "Chuck E' Cheese" type place that stinks in comparison (stinks fun wise, better food wise) named Nash. When we got to the hotel we settled in, had a quick devotional meeting, (learned about what we're gonna do for the week and heard God's Word and prayed over safety, the people, and blessings) and went to bed. My bunkmate and I stayed up late and talked. She's pretty awesome. I was SO blessed by her. That's it for the night.
Please excuse this if it doesn't make sense, I was very tired when I wrote this. I hope everyone enjoys the next several posts. I love you all and hope my short little excerpts bless you in anyway possible. My life was changed forever in El Salvador. Love you guys.
Love,
Jade Bunny

El Salvador?!?!
'Ello everyone!
This one is going to be short and sweet. :)
I am leaving for El Salvador tomorrow morning with my team and our leader for a missions trip. We will be ministering to people everywhere by interacting with the children, helping anyone and everyone ;), putting roofing on houses, guiding people to God and loving people. :) I know some of that doesn't make sense but when I get back I will be able to explain better.
While in El Salvador I am going to keep a journal everyday (hopefully) and talk of what we have done for the day and talk about what God has done in my life, in the life of my team, and in the lives of the people we are ministering too.
To everyone that is reading my blog please keep me and my team in your thoughts and your prayers for a safe trip and for a spiritual blessing. I cannot wait to return to the blogging scene and talk about what has happened.
My parents have spoiled me for my leaving. :) So has my boyfriend. I've been taken out to my favorite restaurants, eaten my favorite foods, and barely paid for it. ;) I also got new clothes and a nice new backpack for my travels. YAY! I feel so special and loved. Especially with everyone telling me they're supporting me on Facebook. :)
I better get off and pack! I think we're leaving at 7:30 (?) and I haven't packed at all. I'm just now finishing my laundry and finishing updating my iPod. lol.
Next time you hear from me it'll be about my trip to El Salvador.
Love you guys. <3

PS. Here's a map of where i will be. :)

Forgetful Ramblings
Hello everyone :)
I missed you guys. I OFFICIALLY have 9 followers! YAY! I feel so special. I have recently been up to NOTHING. Well, except for canoeing for the first time, floating for the first time, camping for the first time, and my best friend getting engaged. AND falling in love with new tv shows.
Like how I just threw the engagement in there?
Yep. My best friend who has had a boyfriend for less then half a year got engaged before me. A girl who has had a boyfriend for three years. But, it's okay. I'm not saying he's a douche bag who's afraid of getting engaged. (THERE! I FIXED IT!) Even if he asked tomorrow I still would be iffy on it (but not really, I'm just saying that to make my parents feel better) because waiting is important. Especially because of where my life is now. I'm about to start college, something I have worked SO hard on, and about to get a job. I'm about to start my life. Why add a husband to that? You know?
4th of July was pretty sweet. I loved it and loved the people that were there and loved the beautiful fireworks. I know this LOVELY blog is super short but there isn't much I can say...
Oh! I have done All State Choir for 4 years and this year instead of me it's my sister. I dropped her off and practically bawled all the way home and all day and I probably will the rest of the time. I love her and miss her. She's pretty much my best friend. lol. I'm such a loser. :)
I leave for my missions trip on the 16th. I'm kinda stressing... I have a mandatory meeting this Saturday! WISH ME LUCK MY 9 FOLLOWERS! I will definitely have a SUPER long blog for when I come back from my missions trip. I'll even post pictures. (Pray it works this time.)
When I'm gone, PLEASE pray for me and my travels and my ministry and for all the people going with me.
Onto the camping trip. Before last Thursday the closest I came to a camping was getting in an RV and sleeping in there, using the real potty, real shower. NOW, I have peed in a river, bathed in a river and slept in a tent. I am so awesome. I even got on a 4 wheeler and drove it. Aren't I incredible? I mentioned right before the trip that would never do that. :)
The new shows I am currently watching are Necessary Roughness and Suits. Check them out. Seriously. They're really good. They're both on USA and are pretty serious shows. Which I normally don't like but right now I am LOVING them.
In a few short hours I'm trying out a new church with some friends. Once again, wish me luck. Thanks peeps. I do awful with new people. lol. <3
I happen to love you guys, I really do. :) I'm sorry this one is short and weird but I haven't had time to really put my thoughts together.
Love you guys.
:)
P.S. I had to edit this because I forgot to name it. Tehe. :) SILLY me.

Late Ramblings
Guess who's back in the game? Me!
It's been a bajillion years since I have written and quite a lot has happened since then...
In the FOREVER long (but really short actually) time that I've been gone I have been sick, been on vacation, gone to church camp, spent time with friends, seen tons of movies, and spent time with family.
For vacation we went to the mysterious land called Branson. :) I joke of course. We haven't been there in five years and we decided to go back, check it out ya know? We did two days of Silver Dollar City (as a close friend of mine put it "Steal Your Dollar City"), ate at two awesome restaurants, Lamberts and Fuddruckers, and went to the Titanic Museum.
Lambert's, home of the thrown rolls, is one of the yummiest home-cooked meals you could get at a restaurant. Not only do you get a huge serving of your main course and sides, they also have pass arounds. I loved it, can you tell? Fuddrucker's is another delicious restaurant with adventurous burgers (buffalo, cow, wild boar, and elk). They also have normal foods, like chicken strips, fries, onion rings, hot wings. The good ol' stuff.
The Titanic Museum was a little life changing. When you arrive you get a card with an individuals name on it, you get a story of their life, and then wait to find out if your person survived. Throughout the museum you get to see pictures taken on the Titanic of the water, passengers, views, you also get to see how they "lived" on the Titanic. Something I learned while at the museum is that not only rich people traveled on board but also poorer people did as well, and why? Not because they wanted to see how majestic the Titanic was but to travel to America to change their lives. Every individuals story on that ship was special and beautiful. The Titanic was a sad tragedy.
Afterwards, I went to church camp. It was my 8th? 9th? year and my last, which makes me very sad. Church camp is really special to me. I didn't get saved at church camp (in all 8 years) but I did get filled with the Holy Spirit, felt a calling to music ministry, and met some incredible people and friends. This years evangelist was Neil Hubbard. Now, I personally knew him because of All State and have adored him since the first year because of his kind nature, laughing heart, and love for God. When we decided to go to his church camp I was totally thrilled because I thought he would make happy, laughing sermons that would make us feel good about ourselves. I was so very wrong. He was blunt, honest, and very cutthroat. He gave some lifechanging sermons and said some beautiful words. There's a video he played that touched my heart in a way that hasn't been touched in a long time. (I'll post the link at the bottom, please feel free to watch.)
Since I've been back from all those fun events I finally hung out with that best friend I told you about. yay! I'm not such a loser anymore! Went to the mall and bought some amazingly cute clothes, went to dinner at a nice restaurant, and also saw Soul Surfer.
I also went out with this awesome girl from school, I have friends, YAY!
Soul Surfer is based on the true story of Bethany Hamilton, the girl whose arm was bitten off by a shark. It tells of how she struggled with the lifechanging event and how she changed others lives. I loved it and cried during the whole movie.
And I also saw Green Lantern. I read the review from People Magazine, they totally trashed the movie. Called every part of it awful. I absolutely loved it. It wasn't awful in the least. Except some acting sucked. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes superhero movies.
Tomorrow I'm taking my sister out to lunch and taking her to see the movie Prom? Wish me luck. :)
I love you guys so much and I'm having fun writing again, I really missed it. I plan to get back to working out this week, I went from not being busy at all to being busy nonstop. I'm happy. :) But getting back to working out is very important. Wish me some more luck!

Sick Ramblings...
Sup peeps?
I've decided it's probably best to post once a week that way I don't have to constantly come up with new things to talk about in each post. :)
Anywaysss...
Since I've started running I've lost 4 pounds. :) Go me! I skipped running Saturday because I really worked my muscles Friday and I had to skip yesterday because I got really sick...
Yeah... I had a REALLY high fever of about 103. That was seriously no fun, lemme tell ya.
So, I think I'm just gonna say a day then talk about what I did. :)
Monday: you already know because I posted on last Monday.
Tuesday: I went out to lunch with a friend and then we went shopping, that was actually a lot of fun, I've missed going out with people.
Wednesday: I don't really remember... Nothing major if I've already forgotten though, huh?
Thursday: Pretty much the same as Wednesday... lol. :)
Friday: We went and got cupcakes! :D And I worked out majorly! I'm sure I also worked out Wednesday and Monday... And some other day! Also went out to dinner with my sister. :)
Saturday: Went to the movies with the boyfriend:) We saw X-Men and it was AWESOME. Yep yep yep. Then we went to my youth pastors celebration dinner. That was actually fun.
Sunday: The day that was hell. I got so sick. I was bawling my eyes out just from the pain, it was so awful... :(
Today: Went to the doctor, I only gots a virus and the worst should be over, so YAY! Yep... And my daddy took me to lunch. I feel so special. :D
Don't I lead the most exciting life?
OH! The girl I mentioned a few posts ago, the one who was my best friend in high school, we've been reconnecting a little so that makes me feel better and less sad and pathetic. lol.
ANYWAYS!
I'm gonna jet and take a nap since that should make the sickness less awful. :)
I love you guys, my faithful email getters, followers, and friends.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Summer Ramblings
It's kinda been awhile since I blogged.
You'd think I would have sooo much to say.
Because I do enjoy talking.
So what have I been up too?
WHY NOTHING!
Ha:) Lemme think, I've been jogging. It's getting really easy now. The jogging. It hurts less, I can go longer and faster. I get a better burn. I've switched to Week 2 jogging (walk 5 min. jog 2 min. do 3x). Of course I overdo it and do it a 4th time just to push myself.
I also went to church yesterday. I led Praise and Worship because our worship leader had to attend to other things (she's an awesome lady! :]). Also, Sunday night was 5th Sunday Singing. Kinda self explanatory huh? Well, it's where we dedicate the service to everyone showing off their talents. We had singing, people playing instruments, and laughter (usually at me;]). It's pretty fun. I love it. I just don't love being in charge of it.
Today, we went to dinner, watched some cool shows. Don't I have an EXCITING life?!
I plan to go out more. If I have a problem with being home alone... sad... Then I better change that.
Moving on, what are my plans for this amazing summer?
Last summer we (my family) made this deal to write a book (not a whole one, a certain amount of pages) and I've started it. Like 12 times. I get an idea and change it. Right now I'm thinking between a girl who has a talent for playing the piano and her mother is kidnapped by a man that wants the girls talent for his own, she could earn money with that kind of talent. OR. An alien species known as "The Remnants" come to earth and look exactly like normal human beings but when strong emotions come to play the reveal themselves and what they are. There are.... 6(?) different species, some good, some bad... I haven't really decided yet, but if you think one idea is better then another, lemme know.
What else? Church camp, it's gonna be my LAST year. It kinda makes me sad. I've been going to church camp for YEARS. It's really sad, but, I can always come back and work. I am a good girl. :)
I'm also going on a missions trip to El Salvador. YAY! I think it's gonna rock. Everyone asks me whenever I bring it up or when they bring it up, "What are you doing on your missions trip?" I always respond with helping people or spreading God's Word, and yeah, that's a given. But, I have NO idea. I assume the other parts, but when we have a mandatory meeting I am SURE I will find out and then inform everybody.
Hey, don't forget about what today is.
Memorial day.
The day we recognize all the wonderful things that our military do for us. They SACRIFICE their lives. Their time. Their everything. They deserve our love. Our respect. Our everything. Whenever you see a soldier, shake their hand, and tell them thank you for all they've done for our country.
To the men and women who have dedicated their lives for MY freedom, I want to thank you. Thank you for everything you have done for me, a complete stranger. I will keep you in my heart. Forever.

You'd think I would have sooo much to say.
Because I do enjoy talking.
So what have I been up too?
WHY NOTHING!
Ha:) Lemme think, I've been jogging. It's getting really easy now. The jogging. It hurts less, I can go longer and faster. I get a better burn. I've switched to Week 2 jogging (walk 5 min. jog 2 min. do 3x). Of course I overdo it and do it a 4th time just to push myself.
I also went to church yesterday. I led Praise and Worship because our worship leader had to attend to other things (she's an awesome lady! :]). Also, Sunday night was 5th Sunday Singing. Kinda self explanatory huh? Well, it's where we dedicate the service to everyone showing off their talents. We had singing, people playing instruments, and laughter (usually at me;]). It's pretty fun. I love it. I just don't love being in charge of it.
Today, we went to dinner, watched some cool shows. Don't I have an EXCITING life?!

Random Ramblings about Books:)
I skipped workout today.
I KNOW! SHAME JADE! SHAMMMMEEEEE! I was wanting to spend time with my mom though. So I did. We went shopping. (I spent a whole $6.50 [including tax].) THEN! We went to the grocery store (bought me healthier things to eat for breakfast and lunch). It was such an EXCITING day!
Anyways, yesterday was my youth pastors last day. It was all kinda sad... The youth group threw him a little party. We had cookies, candy, cokes, and chips and all that good stuff. We also got some really inspirational handouts he wrote for us. (Those words will now be the famous little quotes I like to put at the top.) And we played a fun little game called Apples to Apples. It was really great kinda unbelievable though but in the end... It's not bad. He has a new family and I'm pretty much too old for the youth group, so, I guess it was good... We also aren't having Wednesday night services for a long time... That totally sucks, but... It does make sense. The teachers need time to relax and kick back... I guess.
Oh! I'm following a new blogger whose blog is pretty sweet. Her whole blog, that I've seen anyway (lol), is about paranormal books and all that good stuff. Like, it involves werewolves, vampires, that sort of paranormal. Not like big scary Ogres. Unless it's Shrek. Because Shrek is just awesome.
Currently, the blogger, Lilium's Realm, is discussing the series of books "The Black Dagger Brotherhood" written by J.R. Ward. Who is a woman. I had no idea. I really thought J.R. Ward was a total dude just because of the raunchiness of the books. But then I shoulda realized something... Only a woman can really write a raunchy book with a great plot, OVER AND OVER AGAIN! I absolutely loved them. And I seriously have re-read them nearly a MAJILLION TIMES. :)
I love reading. I really do, it totally takes me a different world. My favorite books are definitely the vampire ones. I don't mean the wimpy Twilight series either. I love The Black Dagger Brotherhood series, The Midnight Breed series (Lara Adrian), The Vampire Academy (Richelle Mead), the list could go on but, I won't bore you with it.
Lemme list favorite authors for your enjoyment... :) DON'T SKIP OVER THIS! Because it's all important.
~Sarah Dessen ~She's a teeny-bopper kinda writer, but she touches on some deep subjects that makes me cry nearly every single time.
~James Patterson ~He's that kinda writer who writes some really good romance book that is mainly adventure, a little romance, and totally wins my heart nearly every time.
~Catherine Coulter ~She's a mystery series writer (FBI books mainly) that has more romance then adventure but still makes me feel like my adventurous side came out.
~Maggie Steifvater ~She writes a werewolf series that makes werewolves not a pretty little thing like Twilight does.
~Lara Adrian ~Another hardcore vampire series writer, totally recommend her work for anyone who likes vampire novels.
~Catherine Anderson ~She has old timey books, I just finished one called Early Dawn that was set in 1890 that was really good and romantic but way outlawish and cowboyish at the same time. (And I hate old timey books...)
~J.R. Ward ~A hardcore vampire series writer, very much like Lara Adrian.
~Meg Cabot ~A teeny-bopper novelist that puts a smile on my face every time I read something she wrote.
(that's all for now, trust me, I could go on forever.)
I will bore you with more later.
So, I have an iPhone right? I love this thing more then anything! Except for when I lose it. Which is often. Anyways, so I have the Kindle app and all I do now is read with my Kindle app... Ah... Life is great.
I'm sorry this one was a little more boring then usual... but it is also LONGER then usual, and I happened to like it and really, that's all that matters. :)

Personalish Ramblings...
So yesterday, remember when I blogged and said I wasn't gonna work out...? I lied and did it anyway. I love running and am totally OBSESSED with it.
That's pretty much all I do now. Run, blog, and brush my teeth. I have a problem with doing anything because I'm a loser with no actual friends who wanna hang out. Kinda pathetic, huh?
See, here's the dealio. In high school I had a BEST BEST BEST friend. No one ever saw us apart unless we were in different classes or weren't at school.. But now that high school is over and she has this new job and boyfriend we never really hang out anymore. Maybe I'm being too sensitive but that kinda hurts my feelings. I'm kinda a loser huh?
I've always been one of those people who needs someone, not necessarily a boyfriend, but just a friend. I HATE being alone. I really don't do well without someone.
I have so many faults.
~I'm terrified of statues.
~Hate buses.
~I get violent quickly.
~Have a bit of a temper issue.
~Love too much.
~I care what people think of me a little too much.
But, I have so many good things about me.
~I have a big heart.
~I love everyone. No lie. Ask my mom.
~I want to be everyones friend.
~I don't brag on myself.
~I'm honest. Even if you don't like it... So that's probably a fault...
I love you guys, sorry this one is so short, but then again, not many people read this so I'm not too sad... But, it's just been a bad week, running does make it a little better. I hope I don't fall over and die one day from overly running... lol. :)

Short Ramblings about Clothes and Friends
Good morning everybody and welcome to the house of painnnnn...
Remember when I posted my cute little workout run schedule thing that helps me build up from nothing to a whole lot of work?
Well, before I even found that (the workout schedule) I kinda winged it... When I FIRST got on the treadmill I walked for 5 minutes (just a minute less then week 1 workout) then sprinted 1 minute then did the same thing again. AND THEN. I found my new schedule so I was like YAY! Now, the schedule said for week one to do it 3x a day. I did it 6x. Ya get what I'm getting at?
So mom said I have to take a break since I had some excruciating soreness. So, I am. And I spent the day doing something awesome. SHOPPING! :) I bought running shoes, a cute sports bra too match and shorts! I bought Puma's to make my daddy proud! And I love the way they feel. :)
(Had to delete the pictures because they won't load. :[)
Anyway, so today... I am cooking dinner, again. :) I made ummm... I can't remember what I cooked Monday. Tonight i'm making Teriyaki Chicken Kabobs. :) They're gonna have pineapples, bellpeppers. and onions with it. I think it's gonna taste so good... :D
Moving on, has anyone heard of the show Friends? My sister and I watch all ten seasons of Friends every summer, every year. (This'll be the fourth year.) I've been watching Friends all morning. (Don't tell my sister.) I love this show, I'm pretty sure Phoebe is my favorite character. Wanna know why? First episode. Phoebe in the subway, singing with her guitar. Ready? "Your love, your love, your love, your love, your love, your love, your love, your love... Is like a giant pigeon... Crapping on my heart.." BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I love that song. It's my JAM!
I always wanted Joey and Phoebe to be together. Ya know. As a couple. My sis and I love the Chandler and Monica relationship. We usually start our summer Friends extravaganza with Season 1 and then jump to Season 5. Seriously. Those episodes are awesome. OH! And the Rachel and Ross couple? Blechy! I hate it. All whiney and "we're on a break".
One thing I don't get.. Is why Ross' ex-wife, (the first one), changed actress'. I do like the new Carol. What was with the British girl, Emily? She was soooo screechy and whiney and annoying and bleccchhh... I did like his Chinese girlfriend, Julie. OH! Talking about the guys exes... Janice, Chandler's ex-girlfriend Janice, she sucked and she was so annoying and Joey's little punching girl, obnoxious.
All the girls boyfriends were annoying too. They sucked, I only like the original, main guys.
That's about it. Sorry that I'm rambling, I like talking about things I like.
I suppose I should start writing more important blogs... But I kinda like mine. :) Tell me what you think. :P
OH! And if anyone wants to join my journey for getting fit and trying to lose weight by running and eating better, let me know! Let me know your journey stories and I'll be happy to share them with mine! :) I love you guys! I hope that if you're on your own with your workouts that you do what makes you happy.

Rambling About My Workout Advice
Back.
Again.
See what has my life has come too? I have 6 wonderful followers and some hits but I am still a freak blogger who has so much on my brain.
Anyway. So, remember a few blogs back where I mentioned working out? Well. I just started today.
I'm going to become a runner! WOOHOO!
And now I am going to give my fellow runners advice on what you should do and NOT do. (by the way, I just did a treadmill)
1. Wear tennis shoes. 'Nuff said.
2. Bring water or DIE! Seriously, bring some water, being dehydrated is a no no.
3. Have entertainment. No entertainment means no work out for Jade.
4. Pace yourself. Nothing worse then sharp pains to the chest.
5. WEAR A SPORTS BRA! I wish I did... Ouchie.
6. Have fun. I know what you're thinking, fun? Working out? Really? Yeah! Fun! It feels so good once you get your heart pumping, the blood moving, and the sweat pouring. I LOVE IT! (And yes I am saying this on one days experience! Give me a week and see how much I can learn. :D)
Anyway, here's my cute little workout schedule.
WEEK 1: 23.30 mins. (walk 6 mins. jog 1. repeat 3x ((i do add some time to it for a cool down)))
WEEK 2: 23.30 mins. (walk 5 mins. jog 2. repeat 3x ((added extra time)))
WEEK 3: 28 mins. (walk 3 mins. jog 4. repeat 4x)
WEEK 4: 28 mins. (walk 2 mins. jog 5. repeat 4x)
WEEK 5: 30 mins. (walk 2 mins. jog 8. repeat 3x)
WEEK 6: 33 mins. (walk 2 mins. jog 9. repeat 3x)
WEEK 7: 36 mins. (walk 1 mins. jog 11. repeat 3x)
WEEK 8: 1st time: 30 mins. (walk 5 before and after, run 20 between)
2nd time: 30 mins. (run without stopping)
People might say that isn't intense but hey, I don't do workouts. Or runs. I just wanna change my life and make myself healthy. (And I do believe that it is VERY intense! ) And I do it five days a week. After week 8 I really want to just start running until I drop to the floor. :) I think it'll be fun! And even if I am not skinny I still wanna be fit and healthy, but that is gonna take a LOT of work. I like food. A lot. Especially the fatty sugar stuff... I'm craving some Snickers, hot wings, ramen, and bread!
I also checked out my new Bible today. It's pretty cool. There's all kinds of reading plans, encouraging verses, verses for topics people struggle with (boys is even a topic! ha! :]) I'm pretty psyched about reading it. It's in "God's Word Translation" it seems like a version in between NIV and The Message. If any of you have daughters, sisters, female friends, wives, girlfriends, etc. I recommend this Bible. It's called God Girl Bible.
OH! Btw, at the bottom of my blogs there's little boxes asking you to say whether my entry was funny, dumb, unimportant andddd... awesome. Vote! Lemme know what I should write about! Or if you think I suck. :) But no curse words!!! They are NOT nice. I love you guys and your support. :) Be strong and be safe as you go on with your life.
I'll be back with some crazy workout stories, I can guarantee you that! Even the struggle with needing to abstain from certain foods will definitely bring some crazy stories. :)

Ninja's Creed... More like Fake Ninja Crap
It's me again.
[SPOILER FOR NINJA'S CREED]
Not like it's a big deal, this movie sucked hardcore.
So, when I was looking last night, I got 75 page hits. That makes me feel special. :) Hopefully other people will hop on the bandwagon, check me out, and follow me like the adorable stalkers you are. :D I'm kidding about the stalker part, ya should still follow though. I'm pretty funny if I must say so myself.
MOVING ON!
I've got an idea for a blog from a fellow blogger, hopefully that fellow blogger says it's cool that I use their idea. (It's important to get permission when using other peoples ideas and thoughts. :])
Anyways, so, I suppose for now I'm going to talk about the new movies I've been watching because I don't do routines...
Todays movie: Ninja's Creed. (also called The Royal Kill)
This movie is a poor example of what a ninja really is. I mean come on, this movie sucked. Hardcore. I don't even want to discuss the plot it was that awful. And the end, we discover the good guy is really the bad guy and thought he was the good guy all along but NO. He's evil. And insane. And kills the girl in the end that he protected throughout the whole fricking movie. Then he is forced to forget everything from the day before and we find out he's really a security guard and was somehow fooled into believing he was the kings soldier and told that sent on a mission by the king. The last twenty minutes of the movie confirms that his role to the "king" was made up by further showing his king as a man in an 11th century painting. Then when night comes back he remembers everything and finally realizes HE'S THE CRAZY ONE! And here's the REAL doozy. He does the whole thing all over again. WHAT KIND OF MOVIE IS THAT?! AND WHERE ARE ALL THE COOL NINJA MOVES?!
1. I love ninja's.
2. I love sexy ninja's.
3. I love movies.
4. I love sexy men playing as ninja's in movies.
5. I hate Ninja's Creed. -THE WORST EXAMPLE OF A NINJA MOVIE.
IF YOU LOVE NINJA MOVIE'S DO NOOOOTTTTT WATCH! I wish I had read reviews before watching this movie, and even if I did like the plot and characters and twists and crap, the acting and filming were awful. The only good actor was the poor girl that gets killed by her "protector".
In order to truly forget about that AWFUL movie I have decided to start watching a show called "The Gates". The little plot summarymabob on IMDb says that the show is about "A metropolitan police officer becomes chief of police in a gated suburban neighborhood where vampires, werewolves, witches and other supernatural entities reside."
The first episode is about a vampire woman who attacks and kills a contractor that ran into her mailbox, trying not to hit the little girl (the vampires daughter). She takes the man inside with good intentions to help but is drew in by the blood. The new police officer investigates the crime, going crazy to find out what happened before being told that he's going to put his families name at risk. Again. (He shot some guy without probable cause.) Anyway, the end of the episode ends with the old chief of police's body being found. Ya know, dead.
Anyway, this show seems interesting. I kinda like it. It's kinda a slow start but it's good. There's little teenage drama. (The new chiefs son likes a girl at school who has a jealous werewolf boyfriend.) There's of course the supernatural, vampires, werewolves, and witches. All the stuff I am in too. Sadly there is only 13 episodes. Only one season, obviously, and started this year.
I hope I'm not boring anyone. I just like to write about things I like and see if other people would like them as well. :) Anyway. The show is cute. :) SO far. We will see.

[SPOILER FOR NINJA'S CREED]
Not like it's a big deal, this movie sucked hardcore.
So, when I was looking last night, I got 75 page hits. That makes me feel special. :) Hopefully other people will hop on the bandwagon, check me out, and follow me like the adorable stalkers you are. :D I'm kidding about the stalker part, ya should still follow though. I'm pretty funny if I must say so myself.
MOVING ON!
I've got an idea for a blog from a fellow blogger, hopefully that fellow blogger says it's cool that I use their idea. (It's important to get permission when using other peoples ideas and thoughts. :])
Anyways, so, I suppose for now I'm going to talk about the new movies I've been watching because I don't do routines...
Todays movie: Ninja's Creed. (also called The Royal Kill)
This movie is a poor example of what a ninja really is. I mean come on, this movie sucked. Hardcore. I don't even want to discuss the plot it was that awful. And the end, we discover the good guy is really the bad guy and thought he was the good guy all along but NO. He's evil. And insane. And kills the girl in the end that he protected throughout the whole fricking movie. Then he is forced to forget everything from the day before and we find out he's really a security guard and was somehow fooled into believing he was the kings soldier and told that sent on a mission by the king. The last twenty minutes of the movie confirms that his role to the "king" was made up by further showing his king as a man in an 11th century painting. Then when night comes back he remembers everything and finally realizes HE'S THE CRAZY ONE! And here's the REAL doozy. He does the whole thing all over again. WHAT KIND OF MOVIE IS THAT?! AND WHERE ARE ALL THE COOL NINJA MOVES?!
1. I love ninja's.
2. I love sexy ninja's.
3. I love movies.
4. I love sexy men playing as ninja's in movies.

Kick-(insert expletive for buttocks)
{SPOILER ALERT FOR KICK-(BUTT EXPLETIVE) THE MOVIE}
{SPOILER ALERT FOR KICK-(BUTT EXPLETIVE) THE MOVIE}
{SPOILER ALERT FOR KICK-(BUTT EXPLETIVE) THE MOVIE}
Before starting a new morning routine. (Breakfast, shower, brush teef, workout, lunch, shower, brush teef, do whatever my mom needs, hang around, do whatever, dinner, spend time with family, brush teef, then bed.) {Blogging is in there somewhere.} Anyway, before the normal, hopefully new, routine I decided to add some new movies to the Netflix on Blu-Ray. One being the ever popular Kick-(insert expletive for butt here).
This movie is about a high school kid sick and tired of people being beaten and hurt while people stand idly back. Throughout this movie several people step up to the metaphorical plate. Whether if it's because the want revenge on others, or to get Kick-(insert same expletive) caught so he can be shot, or because he just wants to help. These characters: Red Mist, Kick-(yeppp), Big Daddy, and Mindy, dress up as superheroes and use their capabilities to "help" others.
Anyway, onto why I decided to dedicate a WHOLE blog to this.
Kick-(ya know) is a character I respected throughout the movie. He fought for ACTUAL justice, he fought to help people and to protect them, he dedicated himself and his (VERY LIMITED) resources to help anyone and everyone with everything he could.
Big Daddy and Hit Girl on the other hand are BAD GOOD people. Sure she's like... 10... And he's a retired cop, framed five years ago for being a drug lord but now he and his daughter are out for blood. He and his poor little corrupted daughter own several guns, bazookas, and weapons.
Throughout the movie there's ups and downs, with Kick-(expletive) gaining popularity with the citizens, and gaining hatred from the ever evil drug lord Frank.
Five years earlier Frank framed Hit Girls father, the cop Big Daddy. Five years Big Daddy spent in jail before reuniting with his 5 year old daughter, Mindy.The framing isn't the reason why Big Daddy was out for blood, it was because of the loss of his wife. Before Mindy was born her mother oded on pills and killed herself but thankfully, Mindy was born.
In the movie there's countless cuss words, violence, blood, and unbelievable amount of awesomeness. Within the last scenes of the movie, Big Daddy dies at the hands of Franks henchmen. Hit Girl and Kick-(expletive) exact their revenge. (Using a bazooka on Frank. :D)
Maybe my little retelling of the story made no sense but see, here's why I wrote this blog. The movie Kick-(expletive) got me thinking about the injustices in life. The "little" and "big" crimes in today's society and people around not stepping up to the plate. I mean, why should they? They don't know that individual. But in all honesty, it doesn't matter if they don't know that person getting mugged or beaten up, because that's someone else's kid, someone else's mom, dad, brother, sister, spouse, aunt, uncle. The list goes on. If it was your family, wouldn't you want someone stepping to the plate? Being a superhero of their own? I dunno... This movie gave me a lot of thinking to do.
Before you run from the screen and say "oooohhhhh! She told me to go and help people and potentially get killed in the processsss!!!" No. I don't mean go up to a man with a gun and try to like stab him. Being a hero can be dialing 911 or smiling at everyone you pass by. You never know, maybe you gave someone a reason to live. Talk to the person all alone at your school or work. Be nice to strangers. Being a superhero is by helping people, no matter how "big" or "small" the help is.
Hope I gave you something to think about.

Pathetic Sad Ramblings
My daddy left.
Before that comes out wrong, lemme explain. When I was a little girl my mom and dad split. Then my bio dad remarried a wonderful lady and my bio mom married a wonderful man. I live with my mom and stepdad.
My bio dad came down for my graduation this past Tuesday to support me as I became an adult. Sadly his whole family couldn't come down (my stepmom and two sisters). But it did make it considerably easier to have one on one time with him this way.
My relationship with my dad hasn't always been great. We had times when we would barely talk and went years without seeing each other but these past couple years have been incredible ones where I got to discover who he truly is and who his family truly is.
I truly cherish the short time he and I have had to learn who each other is and even though he has only known me known me for such a short amount of time I would trade nothing for it. My dad is in incredible man who has a huge heart and compassion and love for his family and I'm so glad he and my mother gave birth to me.
Now my stepdad is an important man in my life. He has always been there for me. He has loved me since the day he met me, even when I was an obnoxious little brat, and I would never exchange the love we have for one another either. Whenever I needed someone, he was always there, whether if it was because I needed money or needed a shoulder to cry on.
My family means more then the world to me. My mom is the inspiration of my life. She is so beautiful in and out and I am so proud and honored to call her my mother. My stepmom on the other hand I don't know very well just yet, we know each other as friends yes, but soon I would love to get to know her on a much more personal and deeper level.
My three sisters, one from bio mom and two from bio dad, are the sweetest little girls anyone will ever meet. The one I live with is 13 years old, a handful, and one of the coolest kids I know. 'Nuff said. My two other sisters are totally precious and more sweet then anyone can ever imagine.
I love my family with my WHOLE heart and know that they love me. I will NEVER stop loving them, no matter what happens.
Thanks for tuning in faithful readers. I love you. :)

Ramblings of Change
Welcome back one and all... And yes I mean one and all.
This year is the year of change. I am transitioning from 13 years of HAVING to be in school to CHOOSING to be in school. And that's a little scary. This year also marks the beginning of being DONE with being just a "teenager" and being an awesome genius adult. I also get to get a JOB! Yeah! Woohoo! First time EVER! WOOOOOO!!!
Lately I have been checking out other blogs, trying to follow some in hopes of winning myself some more followers when I stumbled onto something totally unexpected.
All the blogs I have been checking out are totally one hundred percent just Christian blogs. Which is not bad because I love Jesus and totally believe in Him but I was hoping for a little more diversity then that so it looks like I gotta retry. I am definitely gonna be writing some awesome blogs on my Jesus though. :)
Moving on... Today was Graduation Sunday at my church. :) They honored me by playing the music I love and by making a WHOLE slideshow about me. It was awesome! :) They gave me this adorable white Bible with my name engraved.
My Dad that flew in Tuesday for my Graduation and Birthday is leaving today as well as my Aunt that flew in on Thursday. It's really sad to say goodbye but it will be so much better seeing them while in college then when I was in high school.
I dunno what to really discuss yet in these blogs... Give advice? Talk about my day? Suggestions would actually be very appreciated. Lemme think... What would I like to discuss...?
I think some of my new blogs will have a theme. What do you guys think? Maybe if I get some followers I will ACTUALLY get some feedback. This is only my second one. I should probably be a little more patient...
After church camp and the missions trip I will definitely write some awesome bogs. :) Hopefully... Maybe more people would be willing to read them.
I shall end this for the day... Unless I all of a sudden get struck with inspiration.

The Beginning of The Rambles
Welcome one and all to my first Blog thing. EVER. I understand that I am indeed writing for a nonexistent audience, which includes all of.... ME!
First off, I know that a lot of people write meaningful, life inspiring blogs. Will I be one of them? Maybe. Who knows?
Lemme kinda introduce myself.
I go by the nickname "Bunny". Not because of my ravishing good looks, but because a sweet little girl called me that when I was hopping around like a fool. And so, the name stuck. Family, friends, and many people who barely know me call me Bunny. I think it's adorable.
I did turn eighteen May 21st of 2011. I am very happy that the world didn't end because I would have been very sad. :(
I'm blessed with amazing family and friends that support me in every possible way they can.
I do happen to have an amazing boyfriend who I will be celebrating my 4 year anniversary with in February. :)
I'm KINDA crazy about music, movies, and tv show characters. Rick Castle from Castle? Mmmm!!!!
My lifelong dream is to write a book, I'm currently toying with an idea that I shall share if I get some Followers, that aren't my parents by the way.
I'm random. Very much so. And happen to have slight violent tendencies that seem to bring people laughter... hehe...
I just graduated high school and am planning to go to college in the Fall. Then pursue my career of Law Enforcement.
I have some awesome things about me and some NOT awesome things about me. Like, I am amazing at loving people, I have a big heart. But I also happen to have a BIG temper.
I want the best for my entire family. I love and care about them so much and I know they deserve the best things.
I love Facebook and love talking to people on there and getting a feel for who they are by their pictures and posts. I'm also a Facebook picture stalker, I love looking at peoples pics.
I love food. I gotta admit it. Food is GOOD. Especially onions, fajitas, and hot wings. In that exact order. :)
I am VERY outspoken, loud, crazy, and totally fun but when I get around people I don't know I get outrageously shy.
I pride myself in being a good speller. :) I think that's one thing that I am good at.
I have a hard time admitting I'm pretty but I do believe that everyone around me is beautiful. The only thing that makes a person "ugly" is their attitude.
I'm into dance. Seeing the way people can move their bodies and show how they feel with their body movements is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen.
I like turtles. My favorite animal happens to be the white tiger. They're so GORGEOUS!
I'm pretty sure that's enough about me, my next blog entry won't be so boring. (Hopefully!)
