Another delay and a change

Hi everyone! MOST IMPORTANT THING FIRST!!! Are you paying attention? OK, I HAVE CHANGED MY BLOG ADDRESS! It is emilyjoyphoto.blogspot.com.

I REALLY need everyone who is following me to switch blogs! It would be SO helpful! Thank you SO much! Also, I won't be posting here, but I put all my posts onto my new blog, but all the comments are gone :( So yeah, just either switch my blog address on Google Reader or change where you follow. Thanks! My new blog pretty much looks the same, except I changed the blog address and no comments...

Sorry about Challenge! I haven't had time yet, and I'll try to do it right after this post but that might not happen. If it doesn't, I'll post it tomorrow and give you all an extra day to enter :) Thanks!

I edited this picture to look like this:

Can you guess the difference? Ugh, that ugly gap between my teeth is gone! I've hated it for FOREVER, and so now I'm thinking about getting braces. The only thing is, I'd have to wear a retainer for the REST OF MY LIFE {even if it IS only at night}. Whoa, this post is supposed to be about Rebecca - not my teeth.

Timeline

Just though I'd jot some things down...

In exactly two years, I will get my learners (Is that scary or what???)! I can't wait! Today, mom, Joelle and I went over the fair grounds to kind of set up for the Relief Sale tomorrow and Saturday. Mom let me drive the van around the grounds for a little :) I really need to work on braking softer... And guess what! I've already decided on what car I'm gonna buy!





What do you think? Do you like it mom and dad? Oh I knew you would! Now... do you think I could have a loan? Umm... a permanent loan? As in a gift??? :) So anyway, I'm excited about driving! Joelle asked me if when I drive I'll take her everywhere. Of course I said yes :) Seriously, I am a wonderful big sister. Hmm, I also remember a certain other sister telling me she would take me to see the new Air Bud movie once she got her license... it didn't happen. Yes. You know who you are.

I JUST LEARNED HOW TO PLAY VIVA LA VIDA!!! Seriously, it really isn't hard to learn. And you know what? I always seem to annoy my family with my songs... I learn them and play them over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. My favorite song to play is 'I Saw God Today' by George Strait. It's another song I play over and over and over again :) So my family has been hearing 'Viva La Vida' a lot lately :) My absolute favorite song (Right now) is 'Viva La Vida Meets Love Story'. It is so pretty how Jon mixed Coldplay's 'Viva La Vida' and Taylor Swift's 'Love Story' together.

Just though I'd say... I LOVE OLD NAVY! It is my absolute favorite store IN THE WORLD! I get more than half my clothes there (Is that why I have no money? Probably.) :)

My WONDERFUL big sister Kate is lending me her WONDERFUL camera for the evening :) It is a Sony Powershot something... hey, it's wonderful. I've actually been bookmarking tons of cameras for my parents to get an idea of what I want for Christmas. I like leaving subtle hints, you know? :)

This past weekend was the VA Mennonite Retreat!!! It was tons of fun, even though SOME people decided to skip out on it... YOU know who you are too :) And Katherine, I'll try to post those pics soon... and I'm considering putting in the one of you :) Hey, I liked it!

Today is the first day of October! The month of Fall, leaves, Thanksgiving, Halloween, pumpkins, goards, decorations and ONLY 3 MORE MONTHS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!! Yes, I am counting the days until Christmas :)

My birthday is in exactly 6 months! It's just around the corner :)

Joelle is so big! It is not safe to spell around her anymore. Like one time I spelled B-A-T-H and she was like 'Am I taking a bath?'. Another time I spelled F-I-S-H-E-R-S and she said 'ARE WE GOING TO THE FISHERS???'. Excited much? Sad but true. She is growing up. And now she wants to go to Kindergarten. I think she'd like it, but I have no say in the matter :)

Jo-Bob's birthday is in 28 days. I actually already bought her a present :) I got her a pink poodle at a gas station on the way to the retreat. Apparently though, I'm very bad at hiding things because she found it after I had been home for an hour. She's too smart.

Every Monday evening, I play in the church league volleyball. So... this Monday was at the place we play and I realized OhMyGoodness... this is a co-ed team. So yeah, GUYS and girls. Big guys. Tall guys. Strong guys. Guys that don't know how to aim... :) Just kidding. These guys are amazing. I feel tiny, weak and useless :) I'm only 5'3" and the guys on my team are around, oh, 6' 2" :) Me and one other girl were the only 'little' girls there (Teenagers) and now she's quitting! You can't do this Joy! :)

I figured out how to get my header font and post title and post date font the same! I got the font from DaFont.com. Of course, knowing me, I'll probably change it. This won't make ANY sense to anyone but Mom, but the last sentence was an apposotive. Love you Mom (Even though I still hate Grammar)!

So that's all I'm posting for now... Maybe I'll post more later but now I'm done. Adios.

Oh, and retreat pics coming soon.

And I haven't posted Rebecca's shoot yet have I? I have to let her approve them first. I'll get to it soon!
