WoW!

Oh My Goodness, you guys! 

I cannot believe I like totally and completely left you all there for like a month! LOL! 

I feel so so SO SO bad! I mean, I kind of just forgot about my blog! 

WOW!

And just to keep you on guard, I might do that again... 

I'm not that great with keeping up with things. Just a confession.

;)

So, since I missed the end of my own photo contest I thought I might as well tell the winner now!

But, I do have some bad news...

Unfortunately, I have no prize or gift for the winner. 

I know what you're thinking...

"Kaela, you're so dumb! Why didn't you prepare anything? That's just stupid. Thanks a lot!"

And I do deserve every bit of that criticism, but alas, I am new at this and didn't really know what to do about giving out a prize.

Maybe next time I'll find some sort of prize to give out! :)

OK, now back to the photo contest!

Thanks to everyone who entered! 

I enjoyed looking at each and every one of your pictures! 

[Oh, and the reason I couldn't do 1st, 2nd and 3rd place is because I felt that there weren't enough contestants to do that. Sorry about that. I also thought 'what's the purpose anyways? I'm not giving out anything.' So, I am very sorry. Bummer, right? lol] 

And honestly, it was really hard to choose! 

But (at last!) I came to a decision!........

~~~~~

*says in one of those wrestler referee/announcer voices*

"Its down to the nitty gritty here.

Only one can win,

but who will it be?"

-Drum Roll Please-

*brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm* <----drum sound (lol :p)

The winner is nzkiwigirl @ Yours Truly

See the photo she entered here 

I love this photo because:

1} its simple. 

Shes just laying there. In the norm.

You have no idea how much I love simple things! :)

2} its pretty.

She is pretty. The way the light hits in the picture is just fabulous! 

Love Love Love!

3} its "Simply Chic In Those Sun-G's" Photo Contest winning worthy! lol

Its just what I was looking for! 

Beauty in a picture.(:

Well, now that its over.. I feel really super terribly bad that I have nothing to give to the amazing, prize-worthy winner! 

 *cries*

Is this really worth crying over? 

Hmm...
Haha, anyways..

But really, I feel bad. 

I wish there were something I could do. 

Oh well. There's always next time, right?
I'm so so sorry! :( 

Thank you, again, to all that entered! 

I hope each of you had fun being creative and wearing your most beautiful smile in the pictures! 

I love you, bloggy friends! ;)

So, I had something else to tell you all, but I forgot...

*thinks really hard. so deeply that it causes pain.*

I remember now! 

Just the other day I was browsing around on iTunes and I found the most amazing singers eVeR!

Wanna know who they are?

Oh, you don't?

Well, too bad! Lol :P

The first is called Adele. My favorite song by her is called Rolling In The Deep! Its so, so, African sounding! Its cool! ;) She has the most amazing/incredible/unique voice Ive ever heard. Its actually really really good! You should try her out! 

Next is Natalie Taylor. My favorite song by her is called Its Okay. Her voice is SO pretty! :)  Shes kind of a mix of Miley Cyrus and He is We (have any of you heard of He is We? Well, if you haven't, you should. Because He is We is great!). But its crazy because she looks just like Ashley Tisdale, only with darker hair. Its hard to believe they aren't related! Haha

Last, but definitely not least, is We the Kings! They are probably in my 'Top 3' right now (well, duh. haha). But my favorite song by them is called We'll Be A Dream {and for all you Demi Lovato fans out there, they do a duet with her in this song! :)} Its absolutely awesome! You wont regret listening to them! 

I'm done now. I'm pretty sure Ive caught you up on everything thats gone on in my life since I've last posted. Thanks for staying faithful even when I'm not actually posting! Lol

Oh, and a  HUGE extra special shout out to one my friends, Danielle, over at Paper Heart because she was the one who designed my lovely new blog! I absolutely love it! Thank you so much, Danielle! :)

14 + 1 = 15 (!!!)

That equation is true, (very much so true in my case.)!

Wanna know why?

OK, I'll tell you.

On March 27th it was my birthday on which I turned 15! 

Yes, I had a great birthday...

And yes, I got some pretty awesome presents from some pretty awesome friends! :)

OK, let me tell you how my weekend went:

FRIDAY:

Friday night I invited all of my friends over for the opening night of bible study and for my birthday sleepover.

When everyone arrived, we talked, ate, and talked some more.. Lol

Then we headed upstairs to have bible study (which lasted way longer than expected!).

We sang  Amazing Grace-My Chains Are Gone.

and another amazing song that I forgot.. haha.

Then, after talking some more, we went back downstairs to eat cake and open presents.

 Here is what I got:

1. a TJMaxx gift card

2. a Lifeway gift card

3. The new Francesca Battestelli CD called Hundred More Years 

4. The new Owl City CD called Ocean Eyes

5. two pairs of earrings 

6. the Apples to Apples game in Bible version

7. P.S. I Love You fragrance by Bath and Body Works

8. an iTunes gift card

9. cards (duh...)

and finally 

10. a t-shirt

I'm so blessed to have amazing friends like Katie, Annie, Bethany, Molly, KayCee, Kricia, and Magan! I love you, girls! :)

SATURDAY:

Saturday I stayed home until, like, 4:30 waiting for all of my friends to leave my house, and then we (my family and I) went to eat at Bob Evans.

After we got done eating, we went to a good 'ole gospel singing of Gold City.

Ya gotta have some variety of music in your life, ya know? lol

After that singing we came home and went to bed. 

The rest was much needed! 

SUNDAY:

Alas, my birthday has arrived! 

I woke up that morning and all that was running through my mind was "OMG, I'm 15 now. I'm exactly a year older than I was yesterday! Oh, but wait, I don't feel older.. Then again I didn't feel any older on my 14th birthday either.. Oh well!" and etc...

I got up, got ready, and headed to church!

I got to the church and walked into Sunday School. 

Everyone was like "Happy Birthday, Kaela! Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday!"

I don't know how many times I said "Thank You" while grinning! 

Then, after church was over, I went out to eat at Texas Roadhouse with my Mom, Dad, sister, Nana, and Poppy! :)

Then, when I was so stuffed I couldn't stand it, I went with my mom to go to Target - where I got the most amazing backpack/purse thing - and then we treked over to Maurices where I got a ton of new clothes and things for my birthday! 

Altogether it was a great weekend!

I can't wait until next years birthday (on which I turn 16! Oh yeah!)



P.S. Ok, here's the deal...
This post was originally started on March the 28th.
Since I have not been on my blog since then (which is REALLY sad!) I have updated it just a bit. Just so it doesnt sound like yesterday was my birthday..
lol
So, I just wanted to tell you that in case you were wondering "Why are you posting about your birthday way after it actually occurred?". haha

Anyways, I'm just trying to catch you up on my life since my birhtday. I'm so so sorry that I haven't been posting!
Just to warn you, my life gets a little stressful and I will forget to post sometimes.. But have no fear! Because I will still post, just not everyday! Like I said in an earlier post, I won't be poting but once every week or every other week. I know, its sad. But I am still sorry. Forgive me? lol

Thanks for bearing with me! Love you all bloggy people! haha ;P

Thanks for hanging with me!

Oh, and LooK! I have a new signature thingy! Isn't it cute?
And its all thanks to Danielle over at Paper Heart!
She does blog designing, too! So, go on over and check her blog out! Im sure she would really appreciate it!


 

That's a true s

Yesterday was my birthday
