One of my friends was born on New Year's Eve, so what better way to celebrate a Sweet 16 than with friends on New Years Eve?
The black lights were pretty cool :D
Hope you had a great Sweet 16, girly!!
Love ya!

~NeW but FaMiliAr~
I think I have failed to mention that we moved – at least since my last major post. Lol Soo, we have a new home, and new church, but we are back where we started(: (If you recall, my dad’s a pastor as of the last 2ish 3 years; so we have a new church family he is serving at).
Even though we’re back with old friends, and old activities, we have a new church. And with a new church comes a new YOUTH GROUP! Shabam! Lol
The kids here are pretty awesome, if I say so myself. There’s a good mix of ages, from little little ones to high-schoolers (: It’s awesome! We got to do a lot of cool things with them, too, over the summer.
For instance, the day after we moved in, we got to go to Kings Island with them. That was nice for me cause I got to interact with the youth outside of the church setting & just ‘chill’. I mean, what else is better that being able to meet new people & have a good time? In that one day I got to talk with a good mix of all the kids & they were all so open to involving me (and my sibs, of course, too. Lol). Not only did we get to go to Kings Island, but that following weekend we went camping at Deer Creek. More time to get to know the youth. And that probably benefited the most, as we did group games & get-to-know you activities. Even if we weren’t doing the activities the adults had set up & were just off on our own either playing soccer in the field, or cramming into a tent to play card games it was pretty fun(:
Now that we have been at the church here for, ehh 6 months, I believe, we had a lock-in finally this past week. And might I say it was legit!
We had food, entertainment, anddddddd……..
Oh yea – we had brooms! Remember what I said about the lock-in being legit?? Yea, we played ‘broomball’! :P
But, it’s a sad day for the brooms…
I guess that’s what you get when you pay 1$ for cheap plastic crap! :P You know what though? It really didn’t matter because we got to beat up a little basketball (as well as each other’s legs – when it came to the guys).
^^ What lock-in is complete without a game of ultimate keep away?? Uhmmm, I don’t think any lock-in is ;)
I think everyone had a good time………….. until we had to go to bed at 3! Erggh, oh well – we’ll do an all-nighter at the next one; trust me, I love getting no sleep! ;D Lol

~Still Alive~
Sooooooooo I’ve been a total complete fail when it comes to blogging :P My New Years Resolution may seem pretty simple, but we’ll see how it goes.. I plan to start blogging more ;) (I am going to do a ‘photo-a-day’ on my photography blog : photography-cass.blogspot.com; then I have to do my best to post every day!) We’ll see. Anywhoo I’m still alive & lovin’ every bit of it!
I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas! I know I did. (: I got a camera from ‘Santa’ & some other cool stuff. We had our family Christmas celebration on the 26th.
( ^^ What little one isn’t curious to know what’s under the tree for them? )
We all got some really cool things from everyone, but do you know my absolute fave….?? ………
Yep, my Aunt, Uncle, & Cuz got me a ukulele. Pretty cool right? I thought so too ;)
One of my friends is starting a ukulele club (beginning this week, actually) and I so wanted to join – but you can’t join a ukulele club without a ukulele. Thanks guys!! :D
I’d say it was a good Christmas overall (:
