Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in GOD's sight.

1 Peter 3:3-4

Suggestions??

This friday I will be leaving so I can go to Shelia's cousins wedding!! I am so excited!! I LOVE weddings!!! The photography, family, and just atmosphere over all rock! So just to be aware, I probably won't be posting fri-sun. I will try my absolute hardest to schedule some posts so you guys don't leave me but I wouldn't hold your breath...!!

So, as the title states, I need some suggestions. For music!! I'm going to try to get school done at a pretty decent time tomorrow then run over to target or something so I can get an iTunes gift-card before Shelia comes to pick me up! Guys, I am desperately in need of music! I think the last time I bought a song, was like 5,000 years ago!! Okay maybe I'm exaggerating a little tiny bit but really, I need new stuff! It's a 7 hour drive so the more new music, the better!! List any song you can think of and enjoy!!

Thank you in advance!

The Big 10: week 3

Hey guys!! Hows life? So I almost forgot about my big 10 this week!! AHHH! That would have been a disaster!! Can you believe it's tuesday? I know, only Tuesday but that means tomorrow is Wednesday (youth group!!!) and this weekend I'm going to a wedding!! Woot woot!!

1. I hate when my legs are hairy!! I know it's more of one of those personal ones but seriously, I get so worried someone will see the 16th of a inch hair on my leg :p

2. I LOVE going to church!! Seriously!! <3 <3

3. I think friends are the one things that everybody needs in life and if you need a friend, hi I'm Sydney!!(:

4. My geography teacher is super happy and giggly and it is already getting really old...

5. School has been rockin this year!!

6. (a carry on of 5) last year in public I had school 8-3 and had homework like the rest of the night. Now at my school I start around 8 and finish at 2 or 3 and have NO homework!

7. If I follow your blog, I read every single post you write!! If I don't follow your blog then comment it down and I will be the next follower!!

8. I hate when people say 'yall'. Im not sure why but especially when people write y'all in a post, I get less interested in what their saying...:/ **awkward**

9. I pray before I go to bed every night and pray for someone that I know that I think might be struggling or just for safety.

10. I have picture frames all over in both my rooms!! I think they are wonderful and great reminders of your wonderful friends and family!

Tell me a fact about yourself!!!(:

What would have been a HUGE change!!

For those of you who actually know me personally, you know that I have recently gotten my birthmark removed from my left foot. Neither of my parents wanted me to but I absolutely HATED it with a passion!! Well, like all moles after being removed they send them to a clinic to determine if 1, the doctor got it all and 2, if it is/was cancerous. I had it removed Wednesday, September 12th. I had a checkup on Friday the 23rd but they didn't have the results from Mayo Clinic yet. We got the call today saying yes she did get it all but yes it was going to be cancer in the future if I would not have gotten it removed! I have a follow up once again on Wednesday October 5th just because at my last appointment, the stitches weren't healing great. I believe this was God working in me absolutely!! This is just another example on how He works wonders!! When the person called today, they think that the doctor who did the procedure will recommend that I see a dermatologist every 6 months. I am not surprised at all because both my parents have to see dermatologist and have gotten moles removed! I honestly just thought they would pull the skin out and I'd be done but if I had not stood up for myself and gotten it removed, I would eventually have gotten cancer.

Isn't that amazing?? Not the cancer part but that just a simple little dot the size of maybe a penny, could have changed my life forever!!!

What kind of miracles has God worked in your life?

Abc's

So theres this Abc thing going around on some of the blogs I read so I thought, what the heck! Why not give it a shot (and sense Kiley thinks I NEVER post :P in your face Ki!).







A. Age: Fourteen

B. Bed size: Actually I have two beds, one at my moms and one at my dads but I'm not sure what there called so the one at my moms is just for one person and the one at my dads is big enough for two people.

C. Chore that you hate: Cleaning dishes without the dishwasher, when my rooms messy but I have no desire to clean it, cleaning anything when my parents tell me to.

D. Dogs: Sadly....:( I have Max at my moms house. He's a 3 month little fart that chews on everything Shih Tzu.


E. Essential start to your day: School day would be getting up sometimes getting dressed, sometimes doing my hair and makeup then going downstairs and starting school. Weekends- sleeping until 1030 or until my parents/siblings let me, getting ready then doing whatever my day consist of.

F. Favorite Color: White, pink, and blue.

G. Gold or Silver? Hmmmm...!! Depends I guess on what it is! I like gold but I think silver jewelry goes with more things.

H. Height: Um, I haven't measured lately but I think like 5 3 or something around that area...

I. Instruments you play: I used to play the flute, but I stopped after eight grade (hated it). I would like to learn how to play the piano maybe someday!!

J. Job title: Student/babysitter

K. Kids: Not yet!!! After I'm married then 4 kids...

L. Live: I live in the USA!(:

M. Mother's name: Misty

N. Nicknames: Syd is pretty much...

O. Overnight hospital stays: I don't believe so...? Other than when I was born!

P. Pet peeves: When people eat with their mouth open or chomp gum, when people criticize me, bad hair days

Q. Quote from a movie tv show: um... I don't memorize that kind of stuff... Anything comical I would like though.

R. Right or Left handed: Righty's rule!!

S. Siblings: Unfortunately... I have a step brother Jacob who is 9 or 10 (can't remember) who I'm not close to, then I have my (half) sister London who is 7 (almost 8) and LOVE to death!!!

T. Time you wake up: Stalkeriag question... School days at dads 645, school at moms usually 745 so I have just enough time to wakeup, brush my teeth, pull my hair up and go to my computer... Weekends I prefer to sleep until 1030 or 11 but that rarely happens...

U. Underwear? : YES!!! awkward question..?

V. Vegetable you hate: Almost ever vegetable except carrot and green beens and corn!

W. What makes you run late? : Sleeping to long or not giving myself enough time to get ready...

X. X-rays you've had: One time on my ankle

Y. Yummy food that you make: BROWNIES!!! I make thee best ever!!!! I could eat a whole pan in about an hour!! I would like to learn how to make cake pops though because I think those are delic!

Z. Zoo Animal: Animals arn't my thing but at the zoo I guess I like the seal that does tricks (if he's still there) and dolphins?? Haha

Hope you learned something about me and if you choose to do the abc's on your blog, link it in a comment and I would love to check it out!!

Fall lovin'

Want to know something I love about fall? The clothes. Two of my most favorite things to wear in fall are uggs and Columbia sweatshirts!!




Google

I have a few ones like this (not this color because it looks like someone piled barf on top of it then smeared it) but like white, brown, yellow, and I had a bright green one but unfortunately grew out of it... One of the saddest moments of my life! These guys are wonderful!! I also have a thin thin light white one that I wear like when I play golf and it's a little windy out. It doesn't do much but 1. it's cute and 2. it's a light weight little something... I probably could not live without my Columbia's!!! I am hopin to con my dad into maybe buying me a few more this next weekend in Albertville when we go back for my stepmom's cousin's wedding! Wish me luck!!!(:

What are your fall favs???

Wake-up call







Google

You know when you find this really cute guy and he's all you think about... The eyes the color of the sky, hair looking so soft you want to touch it. You would do anything to get his attention and the all time goal, to get him to "like like" you!! You change everything about you, your interests, your Facebook "about me", your status, what you say, what you wear, talking to his family more than you ever have in your entire lifetime of knowing him... Guess what you need to do to make him like you even more... Stop!

Thats it. Now no I have never had a relationship and so if you don't trust me then by all means stop reading this post! That's cool! I totally understand!! I have absolutely no experience with boys. But you know what I do have, common sense. And common sense tells me that hey, he might 'dig' you at first because you do like the same things but he's going to find out that you really dont like to watch baseball but because he does, so you force yourself to and he'll discover the real you.

There is nothing wrong with you!!! You are perfect as, YOU! If you've already 'converted' yourself into a girl version if him, stop, drop, and roll.

Stop- Stop being him because it's annoying having someone JUST like you! Be yourself!!!!

Drop- Drop everything you've done to be like him. The clothes that you hate! The sports you 'enjoy'.

Roll- And roll... Roll smoothly because you are the best you in this world!

I have learned this.. I try to be like the 'target guy' and change myself to something I'm not. Then absolutely nothing happens between us and I got all those sports jackets for nothing!

This is me. I am Sydney. I live in a state of which you should not find out. I like my sister. I am NOT perfect. I hate when someone is not being responsible for there own actions. Cat fights are ridiculous. I have brown hair, blue eyes. I find no point in continuous swearing! I am loving school this year! The feeling of being comforted by someone I love is one if the most priceless moments ever and makes my day. If you want to ask me something, just ask!! I don't bite that hard.. I am me and will not change for anybody. If you won't except me this way, guess that sucks for you! This is me and that's all there is to it!

I hope you accept ME!

The Big 10: week 2

Looks like its Tuesday again and you know what that means...!

1. I absolutely cannot wait to drive!!

2. I would babysit a baby everyday!!

3. I wish either sets of parents would adopt a baby!!! I'm not sure why but I would just LOVE that!

4. I try to take lots of pictures and have those "dang, I wish I had my camera" moments.

5. I want a pretty big family!! Not Duggar big but like 4 kids! <3

6. I think about future everyday!!!

7. I want to yell and slap people when I see them smoking!

8. I try so so hard to save my money but when I find something I really could use I kinda might cheat myself and buy it. Like last year, my uggs!

9. I can't stand super messy!! Like a couple days ago, there were dishes all over the kitchen and the counter was just grossly dirty so I literally stopped my life, loaded the dishwasher, wiped the counters down spotless and carried on...

10. When I'm a mom for my cars I want an Escalade and another SUV so my kids are never cramped because 1. I know (and hate) the feeling and 2. then they won't nag on each other and cause me headaches. Not that my kids will do that because their going to be absolutely perfect, right?? Haha

Thanks for reading and hope you learned something!(:

Holy Hannah!!

That has been my life lately!! Craazyy!!

Remember my uncle Nick that I talked about quiet often? Well, he was scheduled to come down yesterday (Monday) for some doctor appointments. Well, Friday he called my mom and was in soooo much pain!! He called HCMC which is the hospital of which he was at for most of the recovery. They said to go to the ER near his house in ND. He did and they told him to come down here. Nick, Corbin, and nicks friend drove here late Friday night and arrived early Saturday morning. He has been in the hospital sense and is hating loving it! The horrible food, small rooms, and being alone most of the time is wonderful... Like I said he brought Corbin down. I think every time he comes down, I become more and more in love with him!!







How can you not just love this little guy!! Hes SUCH a good baby!!







"Caught by the paparazzi!!"

He has been my little love bug lately and was quite the hit at church Sunday!! Oh ya, I still go to church! Haven't heard about it for awhile? Ya.. Sorry about that! I'll hopefully be going tomorrow and will have some stuff to talk about??

Nick had his surgery yesterday and it went amazing!!! Prayers for recovery is welcome. They found it was infected so they took the rod out of his leg. You can find out more at his caringbridge if you have time to read.

Thank you for reading and comment any questions you have!!(: I'll leave you with this:







My love and I! I'm looking a little rough I don't even care!






He fell asleep during our "cousin" time today! Naughty, naughty... ;)

What's new with you?

Party it, party it UP!

I was going to post this last night but kinda went to Facebook and stayed there a little to long...:) Anyways last night we had our Fusion kick-off! Fusion is the name of the high-school group at my church. I can't even explain to you how excited I am to be in fusion!! I was waay happy!!(:

You know the joy you get when your with little kids?








How one moment they can be supper naughty and the next second, this sweet little child?







Or the droll of the little babies that just flows out of their mouth and they dont mind one bit.








Or the smiles they give you that just melt your heart and make you want to squeeze them tight for an eternity.








In a way thats how I felt last night. Like I was surrounded by a bunch of kids, but this time, they were actually my age!






It made me feel so grown up! I wasn't teaching little kids or sitting with a bunch of adults. I was with a my favorite group of people. I think I am going to enjoy this year, alot! I think it will mature me and open me up to talking to new people.

The first actual church is this Sunday and I really hope to go! We have two brand new youth teachers and I think they will make it extra fun!(:

What did you do last night?

4 behind

Oh wow. Guess what a horrible blogger I am. The worst of worst. Baddest of baddest (yes I am aware that is not a word). The laziest of lazies. The worstbaddestlaziest of worstbaddestlaziest'. 500 post ago I promised a giveaway for thanking my 15 followers. I was so proud guys, I can't even explain it. I looked,




Happy! In! Over the top giggles!

I bragged and bragged and bragged about my 15 cute little followers! Then I fell apart... Not really gettin in that mood were I knew I would have a new follower that day! Just kinda "watev". Blog? Nah, let's watch Supernanny or Kardashian's instead!!

Well today I read a comment from Nia (you can all thank her) that said she was following my blog. May I add that I usually access my blog via iPod so I don't check out the whole 9 yards. Just post, play games, then check back for comments. Well today when I came across her comment I got curious as to how many followers I actually had. Guess how many. 19!!!!!! SERIOUSLY!!! Holy crap. 19 individuals are following this run down blog of mine!! Then I checked on the weekly poll I put up. There are 6 votes! Yes, SIX!! If you voted, thank you, thank you, thank you for taking the time to do so! It means SO much!

So, back to this bad blogger thing, I know this is soo unfair but that's how I roll. If you guys could just write a quick little post on your adorable blog saying "Yo! Go check it out" and put my web address on there, you'd rock. Once we get one more follower (because I like multiples of fives) I will launch this giveaway for real this time!!

Ps: if you want to donate something, email me (sydance97@gmail.com) and let me know watch ya got!! I'm sure we could work something out! I would prefer it be free... But think about it! Your not loosing money at all! Because you'll give me your item for free then you'll be getting HUGE publicity and everyone who sees this blog will be contacting you up because they want what you give!! See, no loose!

Well, happy writing!!(:

I AM alive!!!

Don't worry folks! If you've thought that I have died because I haven't blogged for a week, no worries! I am back and in full force! I would like to share with you a blog that I guest posted on today! Her blog is so cute and I recommend becoming a follower! The name? Confessions of a Maine Teenager. What do ya think? Did I do good? Let me know so for future I can improve!!

So guess what happened Tuesday? School started!! I am LOVING it! I usually start at 8am and am done by 3 at the very, very latest! I started my Spanish class today and seriously, it's amazing!! Last year I absolutely dreaded Spanish. It was the class that made me cry because it was so hard that I just wanted to drop out! Well I went in today and I did 3 days worth of work because I loved it so much! It's wonderful! My favorite class? Pretty much everyone except science. It's a little harder but I'll get threw it!(:

One of the upsides of doing school online is I do my own schedule! Like yesterday I had to go to like a meet-and-greet type thing and that took a couple hours. After we left we had to run to Target (my FAV store) to get a potato for a science project. So we were out for a while and it doesn't matter! Also for all my classes, say I don't finish my science, English and Spanish on Thursday. Well they give me until that coming Sunday to send it in and I still get full credit!!! ROCK ON! The only downside so far is yesterday after we came home, our Internet had went out. My mom called the peeps and apparently a circuit went out. So I didn't get to finish school but that's alright because I just wrapped it up today and it was all good!(:

Well gotta head out so the question of the post is, What is your favorite class? Why?
Sydney

PS: I put up a new poll so let me know! Thanks to all who answered to my last one too!
