sing sing sing:)

GAngstER gangster... 2,4,5

Sunny CALi.... wish i was there now!!!!

So, life is so extremely busy, and not to mention confusing.... it's so easy to get lost in a crazy world like this. I'm so glad to have an amazing God who keeps me on track. He is definitely the only one that really makes me feel not alone. Lately I have herd the phrase "you only live once" a lot... and yes that is true but if we only live once shouldn't we make this life the best one. And many new people i have met are so lost and hurting it hurts my heart! They talk about getting drunk, high, giving themselves to someone they think will full fill them, and they are searching for an answer. Although they might not know it, that's what they are looking for...something to fill them up. It's kinda like there running from something, if only i could get them to run in my direction......

Anyways... Love to all :) God bless
OOhh!!! and here is a cute quote i recently herd
:"Your the thing I never knew I always wanted!"

So sweet and i bought it myself which is prob the coolest part:) Crosstown, is where CMR plays, my school GFHS in a rivalry game... and yes we lost but it was still very fun. And Halloween.... i was a princesses or something and we painted faces at our church's Fall Famtasic party! Then we went to a hunted house. Heather was the funnest person there by far!!! But that whole day was probably the best day I have had in a long long time!!! Gotta run.. Love

We are starting a new curriculum in Cadres that I'm really excited for!! Its called Here and Now from Just like Christ. And I'm just really stoked to see what this is going to do in the lives of these amazing high school girls, along with myself.

This is going to be a great learning and growing time for me and my girlfriends!!!

Livin my life, fun, daring, great, mysterious, likable, risky, peaceful, stressful, busy, and oh so lovable! I was thinking about it and really I have nothing to be mad about, stressed about, and I can take every moment- good or bad, and make it better. We have an amazing God who loves us more than we know, and I try oh so hard to remember that whenever I can.

So I have a couple of exciting things to say... I am doing wonderful!!! I am loving God, showing the love of God, and getting closer to God! ooh and it's ten on tuesday so here i go:
1. Today was powder puff practice.( football for girls)
2. I am a running back in FOOTBALL!! a good potision, or so i herd:)
3. Got a new laptop... the one im on right now... bought it myself... good deal... love it!!!
4. My mom's gone to Cali. for the whole week:(
5. I'm liking the idea of culinary school more and more!!( i think its GOD!)
6. my room is really messy
7. I need 9 more bugs for a bug collection at school! bugs are hard to find when its cold...
8. I love my family... so much....
9. Deciding whether to rip off these fake nails or not!! they're buggin' me!
10. I have HOMEWORK:(

Altogether, I really think we have an amazing Daddy looking on us with love and proud, glistening eyes.

2009-08-20T16:31:00.000-07:00

Only my favorite, burger & fries ever!!

Me & D at the beach, with the sand!!

Daniella, Elisha, and Me are going to have a blast exploring the L.A. airport, where we fly in, and oh so much fun spending time with my big sis's family!! I will take lots of pictures!

Living MY Life.

2009-06-04T07:32:00.000-07:00

So, summer is finally here!!!! Now I don't know how long it will stay, cause we all know Montana weather, and when it wants to BLESS us with snow in June! And if you don't I feel sorry for you, cause I don't care what anyone else says Montana is beautiful. It never stops showing me how mighty God is, and how glorious everything he created is. Anyway life as I said before never stops and I feel as if I starting to catch up with it, and not trying to chase it. Which is exciting!! Tomorrow is our last day of school (Yippie) and oh how I can not wait... Fuego, camping, birthday, California, Fort Benton, are all the amazing things I'm looking forward to! Not to mention the floating trips, volleyball, picnics, sun!, swimming, the river, and friends. All the blessings that God pours on me everyday!!

The summer is also a needed time to be with the people who love you 24/7! It really is the time for me to get filled, and spend time with God. To get all the love, mercy, grace, and wonderful wisdom of God, to pour out next year!! You really get equipped with tools needed to defeat the enemy and claim victory in kids heart next year!! I LOVE THE SUMMER:)

Just keep SWIMMING!

2009-05-21T07:04:00.000-07:00

So I've discovered that the little fish on Finding Nemo, Dory was right! We just need to keep swimming... and swimming... and swimming! But I guess Nate Swanson is right also. In his message last night about how we can NEVER GIVE UP!! No matter what, God's always going to be with you so never back down, and start "wrestling" with God. This makes so much sense to me, and it only continues to assure me that I have an amazing God, that will never forsake me!!! Maybe Dory knew that too!! :) Anyways, school is coming to a close (11 more days) and it just keeps getting tougher and tougher. But last night and this morning God reassured me that people still need his love, and are still hurting. So I can't stop pouring out God's love on the people that need it most, even if there are only 2 weeks left of school!!!

I MADE IT!!!!

2009-05-05T07:42:00.000-07:00

Oh My Goodness!!!! I absolutely can not believe it!! I Marissa Elaine Evans got into the top choir at GFHS! Delphian!!!!!!! Ok so the story is, I got callbacks, and went they were great, and then awaited the List to be released! A couple days later I got a note saying, "because of logistical reasons there will be a second callback. at 7:00 am today!" So, This morning I came to school bright and early to the second callbacks. We sang through a 19 part song (crazy i know) then Mr. Volf says I'm handing out a huge piece of music in an envelope, Don't OPEN it! so we all got it and then he said ok open it! we did and all the delphian seniors ran in with donuts and whistles, and said welcome to Delphian! Oh then he called Rhapsody, and said my name!!!!!!! Sorry I'm not really making sense right now I'm still shaking!!!! AAAAHHHHHHH! is all i feel

Missing: Mom-Best Friend-Children

2009-04-15T06:58:00.000-07:00

HElp hElp! Someone stole my mom, sister Christel, and my niece and nephew:( I got wind of them driving to CALIFORNIA! yeah hot, sunny, wonderful, Cali. Oh! and don't let me forget what they're doing there, seeing Amber, Dan, and the kids. (whom I haven't seen in like a year!) Me, Marissa, alone in little Great Falls, that today happen to make every one's life better and SNOW! I am alone...echo!...echo!... for 10 days! John and Elisha are coming this weekend, but still sunny California...Really!

Running!

2009-04-06T18:25:00.000-07:00

Now, a while ago I said that I hated running! Well, I found I do not like running for no purpose. Just recently my very good friend Kelsey told me that when you run you feel accomplished and strong. This I didn't believe at all, I thought I rather die than run just for the fun of it. Well I have changed my mind on running. You do feel better after running, and it does empower you. I am proud to say that I just got done running around my neighborhood, and I feel GREAT! My goal is to run everyday, just a little, and I'm so excited to be healthy!

Flash Back Friday!

2009-04-03T06:55:00.000-07:00

ok, so it amazing that I'm still so young and yet trends and styles have already come and gone. And by that introduction you might know what I'm talking about. Today as I was walking into school I watched as a group of kids passed a sack full of sand around with there foot. Yes, Hackey sack. (and if thats spelt wrong, its not my fault) I remember when my sister and her friends used to play hakey sack all the time, and how sometimes they would let me play. Which was nice because I was really BAD. Anyway I had a quiet laugh and flashback!

Tour '09 cont.

2009-03-31T19:58:00.000-07:00

Tour '09

2009-03-31T19:51:00.000-07:00

This is the whole group!

Libby and ME!

riding Gondolas over the falls

And this last picture is girls being crazy! So I just came back from a three day trip to Spokane, Washington. We went as an orchestra and came back as a big group of FRIENDS! It was probably the highlight of the whole school trip, we did everything from hung out at a cute hotel to riding purple boxes (Gondola) over traitorous water falls and watching "DINOSAURS ALIVE!" in an imax. We went shopping ate at amazing restaurants, climbed on metal statues, and finally got to know each other. Its amazing how much you don't know about a person until you stay with them for three whole days! We also played, i guess is kind of why we were there. We stopped at U of M and played there, along with Gonzaga University, oh and we played at a elementary in a little town called Frenchtown. (which had to be the funnest!) Anyways it was a great weekend and hope you like all the pictures!

PROM!

2009-03-31T06:18:00.000-07:00

Christel and Me!

Sydney and Me!

Three beautiful ladies!

And this is me and Kelly! So for prom we decided to have an after party at the GC building, for those who don't know the youth part of the church. It was for everyone to come to after the prom, which most of us didn't go to. We ate food, danced, and just hung out with each other, it was a blast, because the best part I got to do. DRESS UP!

Confessions of A Shopaholic!

2009-03-06T07:39:00.000-08:00

Amy Adams, my newest favorite actress. She is so cute, and even if she's a little cheesy. I guess I like her innocence. In the new movie Confessions of a Shopaholic she is such a perfect girl to play her role. In my opion no other actress could have pulled this movie off. I love this movie and I recommend it for any girls night- scratch that, any night that you want to laugh out loud, cry, and feel better about how much you shop. This movie is full of lessons that you wouldn't expect out of the title. But like they say don't judge a book (movie) by it's cover.

The world turns!

2009-03-04T07:23:00.000-08:00

Hello all! I've been so busy lately. Working tons, homework more than ever, and it all seems to never stop. It as if the world is going by so fast that either your in it, going around with it, or paused, zoned out watching everything go by. The world is never going to stop for you, or slow down. You have to be BRAVE, and just keep going. Right now I'm at the point that you feel like you don't have a break. There is a constant stream of homework (especially in geometry..I hate geometry) and I don't like homework at all. I think if were going to spend 6+ hours at school every day we don't need 2-3 more hours of the work we already did. Really, they expect the youth today to manage all this stress, and busy schedule perfectly. No wonder kids have bad attitudes, and just want to sit and watch TV all day.We just need a break. Now I'm not agreeing with the bad attitudes, but kids don't know how to deal with all this at one time. That why they need Jesus! Right!? I'm just breathing a little:)

A Blog!

2009-01-27T17:39:00.000-08:00

ahhhhh?....................

mmmmm....... food!!!!!!!!

smile grrrrrrrrr

So, I officially apologise for not blogging in forever. I hope you forgive me:) Anyways I'm now going to try to catch you up. So I just want to say God is AWESOME! He has blessed me with so much and I want to proclaim to the world that God is amazing. We just came back from Base Camp, and it was the best time ever!!! From the high intensity games to the acoustic guitar worship, God was there and changing lives. Me and Heather were the activity team, and came up with the amazing race game. Everyone was split into teams and they got clues. They had to travel through the woods to find different activities. They had to make a snowman, eat jello through straws, pick money out of a bowl full of snow, eat frozen bananas covered in chocolate, and test their smarts. (too bad it was the coldest dat ever) Everyone liked it and had a blast. I found new friends that will last forever which is so exciting, and Nate preached about the best things ever. Well there is going to be more pictures and more blogging.

This is A Fun Season!!!!

2008-12-04T18:35:00.000-08:00

Auntie, Noah, and Emily

Fun Friends!

Something I look forward to wake up to!

And finally me and Heather, whom I love. (this is a really old picture by the way) Anyways this Christmas season is really exciting and I'm ready to see what memories are to become it. Lately, I've been Christmas shopping as much as I can, or as much as my funds will let me. Ha! I would love if I could give everyone a present. Not the present part, just the feeling that comes with it, that they're loved, and they are amazing. So, to all those who read this (thanks by the way) this is your present, I LOVE YOU!

Tomorrow is the Christmas Stroll, which if you don't know is where tons of people come, and try to stay warm, which is nearly impossible. No matter how many layers, or how many stores you hop in and out of to keep warm, the cold still creeps in. Although when I see everyone there, and remember it's Christmas I'm warm anyway. Even though I have to work, right after me and some friends are going to venture out in the snow. Oh Yeah, I forgot to mention we have snow, finally. I was getting really sad, it was the count down to Christmas, and we had no snow. So finally God blessed Montana with snow. And even if I have to start my car early, and scrape my windows, it's snow. We only have it for a little while so why not embrace it. ( I'll probably be singing a different tune a month from now:) Anyways Merry Christmas so far!!!

Count Down to Christmas

2008-11-30T20:04:00.000-08:00

Which is super fun, you get to bless people with fun gifts that show your love for them. I just wanted to post some Christmas stuff, so there will be more to come.

Happy Thanksgiving!

2008-11-27T18:43:00.000-08:00

million times.

All the family oohing and aaahing over baby Noah.

Elisha and Emily.

And finally Christel and Tyrell discussing her camera. Anyways happy Thanksgiving hope everyone one's was a blessed and fun day. I had tons of fun and were not done yet. Everyone is still here playing games and I needed a break. Tomorrow is the early morning shopping which is so exciting for me, because all these bargin movies are going to be super cheap. Yeah! Love and God Bless to All.

Being Sick

2008-11-25T16:32:00.000-08:00

Hey how's it going, I'm doing ok considering the fact that I've been home all day being sick. Yuulch! The stomach flu somehow was attracted to me, and it sicks. I hate hate hate being sick especially when you can't do anything about it. Anyway, besides being sick I'm so excited for Thanksgiving. Many members my family are coming, and we get to eat large amounts of food together. So in a way I'm glad I'm getting the flu now, other wise I'd be sick during Thanksgiving. (thank you Jesus) And what comes after Thanksgiving? (besides Christmas :) Black Friday, where me and my sisters are going to be waking up super early to get great deals on super cool stuff. Even if its freezing, and we have to stand in line for an hour, that's part of the fun. Oh yeah and this picture is just me being a dork.

Random Pictures!

2008-11-20T20:17:00.000-08:00

My sweet photography skills.

So this weekend me and Heather decided to go vistit my sister and brother in law, John and Elisha in Butte MT. Here are some fun pictures of our adventures there. We did everything from relaxing in eachothers company, to shooting a 45' gun for the first time. Don't worry it was safe and leagal. These pictures were from when me, Heather, and Elisha explored up town Butte, and took fun pictures. OOhh and one more fun thing we did was sit in a 125 degree sulfur water that came from a natural hot spring, this is pumped right beside a river. It was so much fun.

I'm So Excited!!

2008-11-08T15:01:00.000-08:00

So, I am in Butte right now, where I just got a new blog title picture if you hadn't already noticed. It's it amazing, that is all thanks to John who stayed up with me and Elisha while we nitpicked until 12:30 am. I really tired but we woke up this morning and walked around uptown Butte, and got amazing pictures, that will be posted when I go home.

I am also excited about the upcoming holiday!!!!!! CHRISTMAS!!!!!! You will not stop hearing me telling you how much I like it. Here just so you get my picture I will tell you everything I love about it: I love... how everyone loves everyone, the snow, warm houses, parties, white elephant gifts, real gifts, giving, hot cocoa, Starbucks, Thanksgiving comes before it, going to Helena for Christmas with the whole family, we get a break from school, the smell of house heaters, sledding, sleeping with more blankets, friends, family, stockings, Christmas TREES, etc; I could go on forever but I wont just for you. So, I love all of you who take time from your day to read MY blog, and even more thanks to those who leave comments!

A Favorte Friend !

2008-09-06T17:33:00.000-07:00

HEATHER!!! is one of the greatest friends anyone could ever have. I turely thank God for the gift wrapped in heatherism he gave me. She is considrate, loving, funny, uplifting, super fun, and beautiful. I wish I could hang out with her everyday. It is my favorite when we laugh and make jokes with eachother. I like that she understands me and works with me when I'm being difficult. I only hope she has enough patiance to work with eachother for many, many years to come. I can't wait to see us when were older and still fabulous friends. So this is a national declaration that Heather is AWSOME!!!! so if you don't know her get to know her you will be glad you did.

What's Up Lately!!

2008-09-02T19:46:00.000-07:00

So, here is my new car. I love it so much, everything about it the blinker, the color, the steering wheel, and although it is not the most glamorous car, with it's radio that skips and shuts off when I go over bumps, it is a great first car. Anyway so obviously I got my licence and I even just had a job interview at Starbucks. They really liked me and I am just waiting for the call this week. School has started, and not fun at all. I absolutely love my choir class and I am excited to see what God's going to do in my life this year and how I'm going to effect my world.

I love you all and hope that when you read you make comments. It makes me feel like I'm talking to someone

LOOK !!! My sweet sticker that shows my school pride for Great Falls High...

VBS

2008-08-12T20:37:00.000-07:00

we (Courtney) built this tiki hut all by our selves!!!!
silly girls.... or scary with those eyes..... he he..........
ya, me and my favorite little best friend, (that's not in the family) Grace!!!
Do you want some fruit?..... Well, silly it's fake so forget it...
Miss Fruity Fran and Jeana the Jellyfish!
So these are all from this years Great Falls Christan Center's, A Pirate's Life In Christ, VBS. And you might say these aren't pirates at all, and yes, I know. You see there were five rooms and all of them with a different theme. Ours (me, Courtney, and alicya) was the native village that included a real tiki hut and working waterfall, well if you include the sink. Anyway, and Nettie's (jellyfish) room was under the sea that even had her husband Jim the Jellyfish, that was made to cover the TV. The whole stage was made into a Ship, with it's own gang plank you had to walk up to get onto the stage. Lets just say Bob didn't preach on the stage that Sunday.
(smart man, you got to think about the forces of gravity and the strength of plywood) Altogether it was a tiring, long, great, fun, blessed, week. I know that out of all the hard work we put into it, it change at least one child's life forever.

2008-07-09T11:36:00.000-07:00

Michael Buble, is amazing he is such a great singer, and I am a big sap for love songs and thats what he sings. Check out his music on my playlist, Everything is my favorite song... Ever.

I've been so BUSY!!!!

2008-07-02T12:19:00.000-07:00

Ok, so today I'm in kind of a slump, it is the day that all my rest caught up with me, but I am still tired. I haven't been home for a week and it has been go go go and no rest. I'm not saying it wasn't fun but it was sure exhausting. First, was camp where every day was 7 am to 12 pm of non-stop fun. All the details of camp will be in my next post because I want to add my pictures before I tell you about it. Anyways after camp, in the same hour, we left for Fort Benton and the summer celebration. Which is a fun filled weekend with shopping, eating, dancing, fireworks, and more dancing. My favorite part was when all my friends from Great Falls came down one night for the first street dance. The night was finished with looking at the most amazing stars I have ever seen on the old bridge. I loved it, and can't wait to tell you more later.

Flashback Wednesday... I had to!!

2008-05-21T15:10:00.000-07:00

I'm sorry I am going against the blogging rules, but I always have to blog in the moment, when I feel the post, do you get what I mean? So I was at my concert for high school, and I remembered when I was really little... I used to come and watch my sisters perform whether in a play or just a concert. I remember the smell of GFHS, I always dreamed of how it would be when I was in high school and I could do what my sisters did. I looked up to my sisters so much I thought they were the coolest thing and how I was going to be just like them when I grew up. Now it is just school and it doesn't seem like a fantasy (maybe because it is really happening) Anyway I'm glad to say my school has history for me and it is the best school (in my eyes) in Montana. I like it.

This is Fun~!

2008-05-15T18:30:00.000-07:00

I have added and been working on my blog for like 3 hours. Which is rare because I hardly blog which that is going to change. But I've just been thinking and seeing all the fun blogs of everyone else has and it makes me feel good inside.. I love people... Ooohhh check out my music on the side bar. (thanks to Ann she made my dreams come true by showing me how to get music)

My sister Christel just gave birth to a beautiful handsome little boy, named Noah Bradley. Go to her blog and check him out, I love him a lot.

La La La

2008-04-28T16:05:00.000-07:00

So I have good news and bad news. Bad news first, I didn't make delfiane. Sniffle Sniffle. But the good news is that I made Select second best choir in Great Falls High. And I am honored to be called back for delfian. Yeah!

Close Call

2008-04-19T13:01:00.000-07:00

Ok, so before I tell you the crazy story, you have to understand we were safe and I have never talked to cops before this. So we got a huge group of people together to play Fugitive, a game that people (fugitives) are on foot running to the destination without being caught by the people in cars (cops). The group started with just church kids and grew so fast I couldn't meet everyone. We started to play and first you have to organize who is going to run and of course everyone wanted to. So I tried to be the organizer but when we said go everyone to off running. It was crazy. So we played for a while and people stared leaving as the night went on. We ended up with like 7 people and 3 were running. So me and Heather and Dale went to sit and wait at the destination. As we were sitting there two women were staring at us from the building next to us. So we decided to leave. We came back to meet and talk with the other car to see what we were to do next and there were the same people staring at us, we thought they were calling the cops, so we left and went to a near by parking lot. Lee got in our car to talk about God and good stuff and guess who pulled up. The cops. The came and talked to us and asked us what we were doing and for our licences. We explained the game and why we were sitting there. Finally they came back and told us we weren't doing anything wrong and we can keep playing. And that the people that were staring at us thought we were breaking into cars. Even though no one even got out of our cars and plus there was no cars where we were. But it was really cool and good for everyone. For me I faced my fears of cops. For the guys, they had just recently came to church and given their lives to God, and they used to be big partiers. This time when they were stopped by the cops they could honestly say we weren't doing anything wrong, we must have felt really good. It did to me although I've never done anything bad anyway. But It was a very crazy night.

Make up and Work out!

2008-04-15T19:31:00.000-07:00

Ok so I had a great day today, I feel refreshed and new and can't wait to do it again. My friend Makayla and I went to the Gym. This gym wasn't the nicest thing but it was at the same time. It is funny because it is the same place my sister had her wedding reception. We worked out and me and her are going to build our arms, legs and abs. I can already feel the results, plus this gym only cost $20 dollars a month. After that I was so pumped to be healthy and working out I did palates and even pledged to do sit ups and curls every day. Anyway while we were there my wonderful Mary Kay consultant came and dropped off the make up I ordered. And I went home and exfoliated my face. By the way, Strawberries help whiten your teeth. (antioxidants)

And here's a cool health tip: Every 10 years a women loses 10 pounds of muscle and gains 15 lbs
of fat, so keep building that steel.

Candy!

2008-04-07T18:19:00.001-07:00

YYYUUUMMmmYYYYY!!!! This is one of the best candies that you'll have. No joke they are so scrumptious. And they are good for you well better than most candy. They are chocolate covered candy coated sunflower seeds. MMMmmm. and they only sell them at one store the Candy Masterpiece. Which is the only wonderful candy shop we have. It always satisfies me to just walk in and see and smell all the delectable candies. Makes me feel Bubbly!

Dying of Fun!

2008-03-17T19:20:00.000-07:00

Tabitha, Me, Tara, Amy, & Shea

So, me and my friend Tabitha have a small group, you know where a group of people get together to talk about God. But ours is better than most because, our is full of beautiful high school ladies. All of them are such a blessing, and I love them. Anyway, before we met on Saturday we first went to breakfast. Then those wonderfully smart girls had an idea to dye our hair. All five of the girls were in one bathroom, and all dyeing hair at once. Not that they weren't all gorgeous before, the new dews just added.

Look!

2008-03-10T20:46:00.000-07:00

Hey look I got my upper middle whatever pierced and It doesn't hurt. You might think it is silly but to a teenage girl it is something specail. It makes me feel mature and that I am growing up.

aaaaaaaHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

2008-03-04T19:54:00.000-08:00

Iiiiiiiiiiiii am soooooo excited!! My heart is bursting with joy!!!!!! I made Delphian callbacks. So if you don't know what Delphian is. It is the very very best choir at Great Falls High School. And you might say so what, but to me this means victory. You see growing up with 3 older sisters that have all ready make it though high school, I feel like Ive never could do as much as my sisters. But now I feel as if I can and I can do what I want and not what they did. Just to tell you how hard it is to get into that choir, only 3 freshman girls got a call back. And the teacher said that is very unusual. I knew that God had gave me grace and helped me and I pray he will do it again, to make it all the way in. I know that I'm not in yet for sure but I am still blessed just to have been called back.

Homework

2008-02-29T19:45:00.000-08:00

Homework is so uggghhhhhh! It seems like I can never get caught up with anything, and like I never relax. But it is a Friday night and I'm here at home doing homework. Do you know why? Because I have a HUGE project due on Wednesday. We have had 3 months to do it. Now I haven't been procrastinating, it just hasn't been on the top of my list to do. Anyway it is like a science fair but only for history. And my group picked the topic, Vietnam War protest songs. So we are going to dress up like hippies and tie die shirts. I'm pretty excited. Although I am a perfectionist so I am doing almost everything in our group. But I better get going.

Hey

2008-02-18T21:24:00.000-08:00

I've been so busy. Happy late Valentines Day! So much has been happening and I will tell you about it when I get the time. But I had to blog somthing it was making me feel so guilty.

I like her.

2008-01-27T17:06:00.000-08:00

I'm sure some of you already know who this is but maybe not. Colbie Caillat, the writer and singer of the new famous song Bubbly. OK you might say, you don't like her cause everybody likes her, but her music makes me feel good inside. Seriously, I don't want to sound like anybody else like "Oh my gosh I so love her, she great!" NO! I really think her music changes your attitude, and I love the mood it puts, me in. And again I am not just the band wagon. She isn't like everybody else's music today. She is a breath of fresh air from someone who isn't Christan, writing about good things. Not gross and stupid things some of the new non-Christan artists are coming out with. Don't get me wrong. I loooovvveee Christan music that is about all I ever listen to. (besides Disney songs, they are so fun) But to see a nice change is great and I respect her for that.
You can check out her music at her website. Just listen to one song, please.

Baby Scare

2008-01-26T15:07:00.000-08:00

She loved playing with oxygen.
Such a cute nightgown.

Hey, so thanks for all the great comments, they make me excited to keep blogging. Anyway while we were at Basecamp, my niece Emily kept getting sicker and sicker the kind of cold were you can't breath. But this wasn't just any cold, it was so bad that by the end of Saturday night, her eyes were rolling back in her head and she sounded like a broken squeaky toy, every time she took a breath. It was so sad. So we called the ambulance. She was brought back to Great Falls Hospital and they gave her breathing treatments. A couple days went by and she didn't get a lot better. So they took her back in for another breathing treatment. She came home and it only got worse. So they took her in for the third time,(3rd time is a charm) after 4 hours she got admitted to a room. Through it all we knew she was in God's hands, and now she doing a lot better.

Basecamp '08

2008-01-21T13:26:00.000-08:00

So last week was finals and I did OK, but then on Friday we all left for Basecamp. Which is our churches winter retreat. So here are some fun pictures besides the fact for my stinky camera. On the ride there!
Two beautiful ladies. Tabitha & Kelly
Silly times.
2 cuties.
The fun whipped cream game.
This retreat was up in Lincoln, Mt. and it was so bitter cold we were always by the fire. It was so fun and relaxing to be away were your are surrounded by fiends and trees. I loved it! we played many games and football in the snow. Plus a relay race which we won in. It contained eating melted ice cream by passing the spoon between team members Yulch! and bear crawling through 3ft of snow, etc; Anyway God was there too, he changed and touched many peoples lives, and the speaker taught us all how to forgive. The whole weekend was a blast.

Friends.

2008-01-10T19:25:00.000-08:00

Sydney, Kaylee, And Me
Friends are a great thing. They shower you with love and I love them for it. These are two of my many friends, who will have their time on the best blog ever, when the time comes.(there you go, I didn't even make you admit it either) Just joking! ha ha! Anyway I love these two girls because they always make me feel beautiful and special. You know high school you rarely ever get told your looking nice today, and if you are told that it usually brightens your whole day. So here are just a few of all my wonderful friends.

The BEST Buy!

2008-01-07T19:07:00.000-08:00

Isn't this star beautiful, It was sent from God. Like a shinning beacon of beauty still left in an home decor store. No offense to all the lovely mothers and beautiful women who love home decor stores, but sometimes they're a little exhausting And I'm not sure if the reason of the feelings is I always go at the end of the shopping trip so by then I'm very tired or if the reason is it makes me dream for the house I'll have someday. (which makes me all to excited) Anyway back to the sending from God part. It really was. As I was checking out, some lady came up to me (as I was holding this star) and said, "Where did you find that! I was looking all around for it!" And at this point I wasn't sure to smile and say something in response or be offended. It was very very very cheap and I fell so in love with it I took it as fast as I could. For if I hadn't taken it at that moment, that women would of gotten it, then it wouldn't be so lucky to grace my walls. So there you see God was just as excited as I was and told me to get it. Oh how I love him. (and you might not be able to see it but it is sparkly)

Food! Yummmm....

2008-01-06T20:47:00.000-08:00

Family and Friends eating... yummm...
Say cheese!
Ok! so I officially don't like my camera, isn't the pictures blurry, well I'm sorry and maybe someday I get a new one. So here we all are, at the new restaurant in town. Boston's Pizza, it is so good and it makes me excited of the new additions to Great Falls. We're also getting a Chilies and Macaroni Grill. but this was fun besides the part that we went at 1:00 pm and didn't get out of there until 4:00. But I guess the food made up for it. anyway I love my friends and family.

Clean Your ROOM!

2008-01-05T15:36:00.000-08:00

So my wonderful mom has been bugging me to clean my room for a while now, and today was the day I tackled the bomb. I finish the task with flying colors and my room is very clean and beautiful. I love clean rooms, but it is very hard for me to keep it clean.

Are we Cheating

2007-12-21T11:55:00.000-08:00

Ok, so here is my beautiful family, and today we are celebrating Christmas. Everyone is coming
over and opening presents. So you tell me is that cheating? But wait we do kind of have a good reason. For real Christmas we travel to Helena and stay we my aunt Kim. The whole family comes and it would be a hassle to bring all of our families presents too. No matter if were cheaters I still can't wait for this afternoon to see the overflowing Christmas tree who looks as if he had eating to much. But there is still a little guilt in my Christmas spirit. I only have one regret, my sister Amber and that wonderful, missable family won't be able to be here. But I admire the work they are doing for God's kingdom. I love them and miss them in this season of togetherness. Anyway love and hope everyone reading is having a joyous holiday season.

2007-12-14T22:29:00.000-08:00

I am so sorry that I have not been up to date on my blog. My life has been really crazy. In these last few months so many things have been happening, my sister, brother-in-law, and niece moved in , our church went to a youth conference, and we started school. Besides all that, add on getting ready for the holidays, but I still loooovveee the holiday season with a passion. I love the music, the decorations, I could go on and on but you and I would be here forever. Anyway I will try to stay up to date on my posts, see ya.

I thought this was a fun picture of me and Tabitha.

Super Cool Shoes

2007-08-20T16:50:00.000-07:00

Hey. Like my shoes I just got them and am so excited about them. I know it wasn't Sassy Shoe Thursday but I was to excited about them. So sorry I haven't blogged in a while because My sister, her husband, and little girl went to Red Deer, Canada and had a blast. We were gone for a week. I will have pictures soon!

2007-07-24T15:40:00.000-07:00

Me on my Brithday!!

Christel and Emily eating at Jakers for my B-day.

So my Birthday was a great day! We at lunch at the best restaurant in town and then had a party. Christel was the host and all of my friends were there. We played games and one of the best games Fugitive. We made it up ( I think ) two to three people run across town to a selected point and try not to get caught by the cops, or the other players in cars. It quite hard and extremely exciting. Plus the night before, after Gen Church alot of people all went to Applebees and they sang to me. It was bunches of fun!

Fun in the Sun!!!

2007-06-28T20:46:00.000-07:00

Sweet van in Fort Benton parade.

Pretty fireworks at dark.

Finale.

Me and Tabitha at camp.
So, sorry I haven't blogged in a while, I have been gone for the last week. First I went to Summer Celebration in Fort Benton. It was so fun. My cousin came down from Oregon and I got to bring another friend, Kayla. We all hung out with a long time family friend's kids. We drove into town right as the parade started and caught it right in time. Then I remembered I had my camera so I shot some pictures of the cool bug. Later that day we went swimming, then walked around not all that big Fort Benton, we got ice cream and had a blast. Time pasted by and then the bands started playing, we danced and had a great time. Then when it gets dark and the sound of the first firework sounds everyone sits along the river. The qualified people make a beautiful display of fireworks off the bridge.
We came back and that day went right off t0 camp FUEGO! Our church goes every year to a camp up in hungry horse. It was the best, funnest, god filling, and tiring time at camp. We did so much. Like breakfast, lunch, and dinner. (yumm) Also fun and really gross games, one of them was a paint ball game where you dip marshmallows in ranch, mustard, and ketchup and throw them at each other. Another was eating a can of spam and chugging a can of pop. (yelch) Also a game where you have a goal and a ball, you can tackle anyone just get the ball in the goal. I was playing and guarding the goal (because I wasn't about to get tackled) and a kid with the ball was running at our goal extremely fast, and I stuck my leg out. The kid tripped like two feet from out goal and didn't get a point. So I guess I took one for the team, but he was going too fast and my leg had a lump about the size of baseball. I went to see the nurse, she gave me ice and back out there I went. We went to the Big Sky Water Park and Lake Five. Plus the worship was awesome, we jumped and spinned and rose our hands until all hours in the night. I got filled up and prayed for what I needed, a special hug from God. So I'm tuckered out and ready for a long night of sleep. Talk to you later.

Fun In Oregon

2007-06-17T19:42:00.000-07:00

So, along with being with my cousin, we had lots of fun. We also went to the mall in Missoula, it was fun, as you can see. We got geleto (a smooth Italian Ice cream) that was delicious and took pictures of myself in the mirror. What? you ask is up with the viking hat, well the vikings are the mascot of the high school my cousin Josh graduated from. Ooohhh! I also got my favorite ice cream! Cold Stone Creamery, I love it! (and that is usually the size I get) You see the sizes they have are Like It, Love It, and Got to Have It. So I got my fix.

Road Trip!!!!

2007-06-09T14:25:00.000-07:00

So here I am. Far away in Oregon with my beautiful cousin Valen. Me and my grandma, aunt, and mom drove all the way here, it took almost 15 hours. But we got to eat at Red Lobster it was shriplishious! We stayed in Madras for a night and then drove the longest road ever. I seemed like it went on for miles, especially because we were driving 55 mph the whole way. I guess I should say congrats to Josh, we did come here for his graduation. So congrats. I will have more pictures later.

Happy Fathers Day!

2007-06-07T18:02:00.000-07:00

Father's day is coming, so this is my father and I love him! He loves to be with the little grandchildren and loves to watch them grow. To me, my father is a very smart respectable man. Whenever I came with a question he usually always has an answer. Through the sad, happy, and difficult times he is still my dad and no matter what I love him. So to all the hard working, loving Dads Happy Father's Day.

I love them!

2007-05-25T17:41:00.000-07:00

So here they are, the cutest boys in my life!! I love them and miss them.
See these two are my sister Amber's sons. Her and her husband Dan live far away in Kosova. So I don't get to see them that often, but I love them. The biggest is Judah the smartest two year old I've ever met, and his younger brother is a little, old man. Caleb always looks at you that like an old man , so grown up. Anyway I guess I'm telling you about them because I miss them to much and love them always.

Congradulations!

2007-05-22T19:31:00.000-07:00

This beautiful little blessing was born on May 9th, 2007 to Josue and Debra Cotto. Her cute name is Eliana Sophia Cotto, she was exactly 6lbs (a perfect size) I love her even though I haven't got to hold her and am very excited to see the beautiful women of God she will become.

Happy Birthday!!!!

2007-05-22T19:13:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday Emily!
I would love to wish a happy 1st birthday to my precious niece who just had her birthday on May 15th. She is so smart, she talks nonstop and can pick up any sign language word, like "please or more", all this of course for when she eats, and uses manners. She walks everywhere and loves the outside. On her birthday she loved the hippo cake I made for her and got her own cupcake to devour or just spread all over herself. She was also overwhelmed with love from her family and the kids who loved to play with her new presents. So with all my love I wish her a wonderful happy birthday!

My Family

2007-05-17T18:50:00.000-07:00

Finally you get to see my family!
These people above have made my life funner and filled with joy. I love them all very much, so let me introduce them. My mom is right above me, my oldest sister Amber holding the baby her son Celeb (cutie), next to her on the left is her husband Dan, and he is holding their oldest son Judah. They are missionaries in Kosavo (in Europe) for our church and are great at it. Then there is second oldest Christel and her husband Steve, holding their adorable daughter Emily. Finally there is my closest sister Elisha and her husband John. So here is my family and trust me there will be more about them.

Spidey #3

2007-05-12T13:28:00.000-07:00

GO Spider man!!!! On Tuesday our churches worship team decided to go see Spider man 3, and we were almost the only people there. I would have to say Spidey is on of my favorite superheroes, him along with Batman. The funny thing about this movie is Peter Parker became cool and emo, {I hate that word} and I liked Venom. Although they didn't show his face enough, but altogether the movie was fantastic. I was telling my sister that most of the time on a sequence of movies, number one is really good so they decide to make another. Then the second is ok it is not as good as the first one though, and then the third one is crazy. It is where they just through everything in it. Like Jurassic Park, the 1st one was great, 2nd one was not so good, and the third was just a combination of everything and more. One of the only movies that wasn't like that was The Pirates of the Caribbean. That is probably my favorite movie and I am extremely excited to see the third one. May 25 is when it comes out. I will be there for sure!

Movie Night

2007-05-05T10:18:00.000-07:00

This Friday was a girls sleepover at my house. We watched 2 thrillers ''The Sixth Sense'' and "When a Stranger Calls", both were great. See I can't watch horror films because they are just to scary, I would have nightmares. So suspense thrillers are not so bad. We also had pizza! Yummmm... Anyway I would say the party was a success.
Speaking of movies I can't wait to see Spider Man 3, I'm going to it on Tuesday!

2007-05-03T17:46:00.000-07:00

Hide & Seek

2007-05-03T16:53:00.000-07:00

The classic game of Hide and Seek, {in my opinion on of the funnest games ever}but in the dark! On Friday night my two girlfriends and I had a sleepover, and we waited until it got dark and cracked our glow sticks. We all got our warm clothes on and went outside. Their brothers also agreed to play with us, so we spilt up into teams. Now with many kids sneaking around in the neighborhood we all had to be quiet, which seemed to be hard for them. As we walk through the streets I try to keep my team quiet. Their brothers finally caught us, along with her parents who told us to come inside, which was OK because we settled in and plugged in a movie. Don't think I need to explain the rest. ZZZzzzzz.......

Fun in the Sun!

2007-05-01T21:12:00.000-07:00

Me and some friends from church played volleyball all weekend. And I only wish we are as good as those girls on the left. Although we played in a backyard, on grass, and on an extremely hot day. I got so burnt I had a line on my nose where my sunglasses sat. But I am excited that my burn is going to turn into a tan soon! We had a Blast!

Meet Me

2007-04-30T19:39:00.000-07:00

Hi! my name is Marissa and I am glad you came to meet me. I am a excited girl to have a blog and will have pictures for you to see soon. I have three sisters and I am the youngest {littlest sis}. My sisters are all married and moved out. Two of them have kids and I love them, plus they are raising them in Christ and that makes it very special to be an influence in their lives. The same two have blogs, check them out, the addresses are on the left side. So tune back in to learn about me more.
