VBS, HBP, and VBS (Very Beachy Sunday)

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 14:36:57 GMT

Hey!

I have just had like the busiest week ever!!!! I had to teach VBS at a nearby church every morning from 8:45 till 12:00 and then I had work at First Baptist in the afternoon from 2:30 to 5:30! VBS was actually a lot of fun. I taught the 3rd and 4th graders and ended up having the biggest class; a sum total of 12 kids! The teaching part was a bit scary because I've never taught a lesson before, but it got better as the week progressed.

Actually I'm not at work at First Baptist today nor will I be there tomorrow because we had two confirmed cases of swine flu and I've been exposed to it! So, the school has been closed today. Yeah! For paid vacation!

After my crazy week I went out and saw Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince and I loved it!!!! It's been almost 2 years since a Harry Potter movie has come out and so it was great going back to Hogwarts once again. I always loved this book (second to The Chamber of Secrets) and I think they did a good job on it. Especially with Malfoy and anyone who has read the book will understand what I'm talking about! He was amazing and sooo convincing!

Then yesterday, my family took a day trip to out most favorite place in the whole world! The cottage! I missed that place sooooo much! It was beautiful yesterday and it was so great to be back on the beach! Actually my parents had a show to do up there and they were renting the cottage and they thought it would be a great weekend get away for the whole family. I could have laid out there in the sun and listen to the waves all day long! I love it!

Wow! It's been a while since I've actually posted something about my life! Anyway, if you made it through this post leave a comment that says 'Movie, beach, and three-day vacation!'

I'll write back soon!

Love from Ivy -<3-

Kevin J. is Engaged!

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 15:30:01 GMT

Hey!

OMJ! I could not believe it when I got on Facebook last night and saw the engagement announcement for Kevin Jonas and his girlfriend (now fiancee) Danielle Deleasa!!!

Our hearts are filled with joy today and we are happy to share with you that our son Kevin has asked Danielle for her hand in marriage,” parents Denise and Kevin Jonas Sr. say in a statement to PEOPLE. “Her answer was yes, and it is such a blessing that she will be joining our family. Kevin and Danielle have not yet set a date. Family is very dear to us, and we hope we have raised Kevin to be a wonderful man and husband. Please join us in our family’s celebration and in congratulating Kevin and Danielle. Thank you for all of your support.

~~~

Then I went online today and found a cool article by PEOPLE magazine.

Kevin Jonas surprised his girlfriend Danielle Deleasa by showing up at her doorstep in New Jersey early Wednesday morning and dropping down to his knee to ask her to marry him. Presented with a cushion-cut diamond ring that Jonas designed with Jacob & Co., Deleasa couldn’t believe what was happening.

Then, “She said yes, yes, yes like 500 times super fast in a row,” the oldest of the Jonas Brothers tells PEOPLE exclusively.

Jonas, 21, and Deleasa, 22, who met in May of 2007 while vacationing with their families in the Bahamas, haven’t set a wedding date yet. “It still feels like a dream,” she tells PEOPLE.

Overnight Flight

When Deleasa, a former hairdresser, first met Jonas two years ago, she admits, “I didn’t know who the Jonas Brothers were.” It was Kevin who eagerly pursued her after meeting her and then spotting her walking on the beach with a flower in her hair.

Jonas popped the question after arriving in New Jersey on an overnight flight from a concert in Vancouver. “It was tough performing last night, knowing that I was going to ask the biggest question in my life to the most amazing girl in the world,” he says.

~~~

I am so so so so so sooooooo happy for the two of them!!!

Can I Have This Dance? :

[Gabriella]
Take my hand, take a breath
Pull me close and take one step
Keep your eyes locked on mine,
And let the music be your guide.

[Troy, Gabriella]
Won't you promise me (now won't you promise me, that you'll never forget)
We'll keep dancing (to keep dancing) wherever we go next

(chorus)
It's like catching lightning the chances of finding someone like you
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance (can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance

[Troy]
Take my hand, I'll take the lead
And every turn will be safe with me
Don't be afraid, afraid to fall
You know I'll catch you threw it all

[Troy, Gabriella]
And you can't keep us apart (even a thousand miles, can't keep us apart)
'Cause my heart is (cause my heart is) wherever you are

(chorus)
It's like catching lightning the chances of finding someone like you
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance (can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance

[Gabriella And Troy]
Oh no mountains too high enough, oceans too wide
'Cause together or not, our dance won't stop
Let it rain, let it pour
What we have is worth fighting for
You know I believe, that we were meant to be

(chorus)
It's like catching lightning the chances of finding someone like you (like you)
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do (way we do)
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance (can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance

Can I have this dance
Can I have this dance

Hey!

I Love, Love, Love, Love that song!!! It's the best Troy and Gabriella duet ever!!! Hehe....

Anyway, my new (and very summery) layout completely reminds me that...Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is coming out in 1 Month!!!! Count Em' 1!!! I've waited like what, two years for this movie? I was sooo mad when I found out that the date had been extended. Although, it will be a good addition to my Awesome Movies of 09' List.

So far I have seen:

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (Awesome!!!)

Star Trek (Twice! And better the second time around)

Up! (Adorable!)

And I really want to see Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian and of course New Moon!!!

So, the summer movie list has been one of the best in a long long time.

I'll write back with a longer post later!

Love from Ivy-<3-

Hey!

Today I got my my ears pierced...again! I got another set of piercings set just above my original piercings that I got when I was 12. I've always wanted double piercings in my ears and so a couple of days ago I just decided that I was going to go into Wal-Mart and get it done. It's cool wearing two sets of earings at the same time!

Nomad (Part Two)

Tue, 02 Jun 2009 14:28:56 GMT

I am soooo sorry I kept you guys waiting soooo long!!! I normally write a chapter ever couple of weeks or so. Here's the second part! I hope you like it!

Oh! Don't you love my new Baby V layout?!

Previously :

"Do you always interrogate people like this?" she asked as she looked into his pale face.

"Only when I'm about to kill them," he answered.

Part Two

Elena honestly believed in that moment her heart stopped beating.

Would he actually kill her? Right there in the library with members of the Volturi right below them? To her intense surprise though, James started to laugh.

"You know I can't kill you; you're under Volturi protection. Didn't you know that?" he asked.

"Well," began Elena, "I knew I was possibly safe from humans, but from vampires..."

"So, you've been here thinking that if you did something wrong or got out of line you would....became the meal, right?" James finished for her.

"Yes, I suppose so."

"I probably wouldn't kill you if I had a chance anyway," said James, "You're too much of a mystery to me."

"Me?" Elena said, "I guess you're lonelier than I thought."

"Well, the life of a nomad isn't all that bad."

"Nomad?" questioned Elena. That was a strange and foreign word to her.

"Yes, a nomad is normally a solitary person with no permanent home and wanders from place to place to make a living," he explained.

"Oh, I see," Elena said as she bent to pick up the book crate, "Thank you," she said looking up at him briefly.

James smiled slightly at her and then watched as she tried to lift the heavy crate again. Elena had been cleaning the walls all day and her arms were so stressed that it seemed almost impossible for her to move it once again.

"Here," said James as he bent down and picked up the book crate with so much ease he would have thought it was made out of glass.

"Thank you again," said Elena as he set the crate in front of another book shelf.

"You can't always be expected to do the work around her," James said.

"Well, I'm getting paid with food and an education to work her, so I don't complain to loudly," she said as she divided the books.

"What will you do with yourself when you get out of her?" asked James.

Elena stopped for a moment. It was something that she had never considered until now. She had spent the better part of one year trying to make it not from day to day, but from minute to minute. The Volturi was prividing her with a high education and most girls of her social status in Volterra normally stopped getting an education when they were about twelve or never received them at all. At sixteen, Elena had been fortunate enough to know how to read and write before the Volturi found her. Something she would always thank her parents for that and for the sacrifices they made so she could learn.

"I don't know," Elena said, "I was thinking maybe a teacher or a scientist."

"A scientist?" asked James curiously.

"Oh yes, I love science, especially genetics. I don't think that Italy would have much use for a female scientist though. So, to answer you question, I guess I'm just happy to stay here."

"You're happy here?" James asked eyeing her closely.

"Well, for now. Today at least; who knows what could happen tomorrow."

At that moment sunlight filtered down into the room and the light rays landed gently onto James' face sending white gold streaks through his light brown hair and making the pale skin of his face sparkle like thousands of tiny crystal diamonds. James closed his eyes and tilted his head up as if he was enjoying something that he had been deprived of for many years.

Elena watched in wonderment as his skin continued to sparkle; amazed by the beauty and mystery it beheld. She was suppose to close the blinds in case anything like that happened, but as quickly as the sun came it left.

"Do you," she began, "Do you ever get tired of always having to hide away from the sun?"

James looked at her in a way that was almost thoughtful. "Sometimes," he answered. "When you're a vampire the sun isn't always the massive ball of light that gives us warmth and light. The sun could be anything that makes you feel warm and gives you light. Like a person, someone who's like you and that's not like everybody else."

"So another vampire?" Elena asked.

"Yes, in the vampire community we call our significant others soul mates," said James.

Elena thought for a second and then asked, "Have you found yours yet? Or does a nomad even need one?"

James smiled and took a step toward her. His body barely inches from her own. She looked him over once more. Tall and muscular with light brown hair that was pulled back into a small ponytail. The ever piercing scarlet eyes seemed to dim slightly and turn a deep brown color.

"I don't think it's the fact that I've found her. Rather the fact that if I found her would she need me instead." He reached out his hand and touched her dark head, running his fingers down her dark brown hair. When he reached the end, Elena put her small hand over his large one. His hand was as cold and smooth as marble. Elena's body didn't fill with cold. Instead, a rushing terrifying admonition to do everything in her power to stop this desired moment before it consumed her completely.

Chapter One. Nomad

Sat, 16 May 2009 00:13:01 GMT

(Here's the first chapter to my Twilight fan-fic! The chapter before that was something of a prologue.)

Previously: "Interesting how books can be the matter of life and death for some people." Elena spun around and found herself staring straight into the scarlet eyes of James Witherdale.

Elena was at a complete loss of words for a moment. The red eyes of the stranger before her held her a translike state. Staring at them; lost in them. Was it fear that kept her there and kept her silent? Or curiosity and wonderment? A thousand thoughts were swirling in her mind and she didn't even know what they were. All she knew was that this being before her right now, was someone or something that could be trifled with. He was not human, but certainly no angel. Could he have been a demon..or just evil itself? Could evil be so real and so close and so...

Then he blinked.

Vampires don't blink; even Elena knew that.

"What are...you doing...here?" she managed to get out as she tore herself away from his eyes and focused on the book in her eyes.

"I wanted to see you," he simply. He raised his hand and gently laid it on top of the book in her hands; his long marble like fingers inches away from Elena's little hands. A smile spread across his face as he read the title.

"The Count Of Monte Cristo," he read as he took the book from Elena's hands and started to flip through the pages.

"Have you ever read it before?" asked Elena in a shy whisper.

"No," he said simpy, "I've never cared for reading at all, but I know that basic storyline from listening to others talk about it. Have you?"

"Have I what?" she asked.

"Read this book," James said his eyes going from Elena, to the book in his hands, and then back again to Elena.

"Oh...no I haven't," she said, "But I've wanted to too."

"Well, now it seems you have your chance," he said as he closed the book and handed it back to her. She reached out to take it, but his hand was still holding it in a tight grip.

"Unless..." he said "you want me to tell you the story."

"Oh no. That's alright," Elena said quickly.

"Alright," James agreed and let go of the book. Elena took the book and threw it back into the crate. Probably with more force than was necessary. She looked up and saw James smile grow a little wider.

She could feel the air tighten around her throat and her beating a little faster.

"You never did give me a solid reason as to why you came up here. Do you need something?"

"Yes, I want to know who you are."

"What?" asked Elena in disbelief. She had always been so hidden away that no one, human or vampire, ever noticed her much less want to know who she was.

"You heard me," he continued taking a step toward her.

Elena's heart began to beat even faster. What could he possibly want with her?

"Do you always interrogate people like this?" she asked as she looked into his pale face.

"Only when I'm about to kill them," he answered.

(End of part one)
