As time goes by...

It's sometimes hard to watch as time slips out of one’s hands. Some days it seems to go quickly, while others too slow. This year has been one of those years one wishes they could re-live. It went by so fast that sometimes I wish I could do it all over again and take in everything that really happened.



Birthday:

My 17th birthday went really well. My brothers, my friend and I have very close birthdays so, Michael (my brother) and his friend took us out for lunch and a fun afternoon. We went to the Hot House and enjoyed some delicious food. It was funny because when the guys went to pay for the bill, Michael turned to his friend and said I'll pay for Lacey's and you can pay for Amanda's. He agreed with a smile because I hardly eat anything. So for lunch all I really had was an appetizer. ;)

After lunch we split into two teams and headed off to complete an all around town scavenger hunt. It was pretty fun. Half way through Levi offered for me to drive, seeing as how I had just received my N a few days prior I accepted quickly. :) However, I wasn’t driving for more than 10 minutes when I went to do a U- Turn but stopped. For some reason half way through I was unable to continue? Levi was like "Amanda, just go? Ur fine?" I argued back that something was wrong cause for some reason it wouldn’t go forward? He laughingly pointed out that my foot was still on the break. Ya, embarrassing moment #1

Car Rally:

Every year our church runs a Car Rally Event on Halloween. Everybody designs their own piece of wood and after placing wheels on it races it against others. It’s a great family event that our family has been a part of for years. This year I was in charge of the registration and running the races. It was a big responsibility but a lot of fun. Seeing the kids faces when they saw their car pass the finish line was priceless.

Other:

Well it’s late and my headache is calling for attention. I’ve sort of been sick for the past week. No voice and throbbing headaches have had me going a little slower lately. Praying that it will soon ease up. I will post some pictures tomorrow hopefully.
