Welcome to 2012!! Less than a year to live! haha, no. My motto this year is New Year, New Guy, New Griz. I hope this year is better than last year! Show Choir is going amazing, preform in 2 weeks. Scarred though because we still don't have our dresses... Wish me luck!!

Update in life

Well... Its been 2 months from Regionals. Found out I have a Rotater Cuff injury... It hurts, really bad. I just finished school and had my birthday. All is going fine. Not much to report other than I hopefully have a non- drama filled summer!! I've had enough drama for a life time.!

Regionals

2 days until Regionals, my shoulder is killing me and I dont know what to do. I'm scared and I pray every day that GOD will heal me.
50 free and 100 free and the Medley Relay. Good luck to all, GOD bless you!

Laminin

Last weekend i went on a church retreat with my PowerLife group. We went to a camp and had a BLAST! The first night after being up from 5:45 and it being 10:30 at night we were all really tired. But we settled down to watch a video of a guy doing a sermon. It was amazing! Did you know that if the earth was a golf ball, the largest star found would be the size of 2 Golden Gate bridges back to back? and you couldn't take a sharpie to show where the SUN is? yeah, pretty amazing! And guess what. GOD CONTAINS space! Space doesn't contain Him. He contains space! I thought that was pretty amazing that GOD created all this and we aren't even a speck compared to all He has made, yet we are Very Good. But the best part of the sermon was the very end. To wrap it up he told us a story of a scientist coming up to him to tell him he was disappointed that he didn't  talk about Laminin. You're probably wondering what Laminin is. Well a little background on Laminin, it is the little protein in all your cells that holds you together. It HOLDS YOU TOGETHER! Now The guy who was preaching had no idea why this was important, until he went home and googled imaged Laminin. I dare you to google search Laminin, and see how GOD is in you. God bless your life and my your life be wonderful and good.

Swim Update (sectionals 2011)

3 Days ago was Sectionals. Big day in a swimming career. It is the only day you can make it to state.I swam Back for the medley relay, then the 200 IM then the 100 Free then the 100 Back then to end the day I swam 3rd on the B Free relay. I made it to state in everything except the 100 free. But I made it to regionals in the 100 free so I'm good. ( I know what you're thinking; how can you make it to regionals but not state? The answer is, I have no idea. so don't ask.:))                                                                          Yesterday was the first ever Middle school Swim Team Meet! Very exciting day! My team was up against SEP which only had 24 swimmers against our 77. So we clearly won but it was really fun. (And really fast too!) I got a 32 on my 50 fly and my 200 free relay got 1st and my 400 free relay got 2nd. So it was a pretty successful day.
 I hope all is good in your lives. May GOD bless you and whatever path you are drawn to.

Swim Update! 1-19-11

Hello everyone! Well into the season I have finally done it! I have made it to Regionals!!! I am now qualified in my 50 free (29.81) being the fastest time Ive swam... EVER! I am now about a second away from qualifying in my 100 back and I going to try the 500 free and just see how I do...... (Wish me luck, ill need it.) Well that's my swim career for now. 2nd day of the new semester! Already having fun. God bless your life and mine.

New Year and cleaning up.

Happy New Year! After all my family left and we start to settle down we started to plan for a party for the New Year. That was amazing and fun. Friends came over and played games all night. I went up to my room and made my new years resolutions. I had many! I finally got it down to 3. 1) Eat better, I want to choose an apple, not the cake calling my name.
2) Be nicer to others, no matter how mad at them I am, the Lord says to love all.
3)Not to cuss as much, this is going to be hard, but change a "sh*t" to a "shargnabbit", should be a start.

Pray for me as I try to be a better Griz. I pray for all of you. Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! It was a wonderful day for my family and I. My moms side of the family came over and we had lunch and played some games (Getting our butts kicked by my mom at Phase 10, and Dad being the champ and our new ping pong table "Santa" brought us.) We missed our Uncle who had to stay in Oklahoma due to weather here, but we were happy to have my grandma with us during this Christmas time. (And she is doing better, but still not "Grandma")

I broke in my new GLEE wii game and listened to my new GLEE CD and hung up my new GLEE calender and hung up my new GLEE posters. (To answer your question; Yes, I am a Gleek.") But I did get the InStyler, an awesome hat, some boots, Justin Beiber silly bands and some makeup and money. Just what I wanted.
I cant wait for the New Year and start all over again....... hum.... What should I change............ I'll get back to you on that.

Feeding tubes, Thanksgiving, and 6 word memoirs, and the Play

     So those who have been reading my blog you know my grandma is somewhat cancer free And is on feeding tubes, well now she has the option of getting off of them for a hour or two!! We are so thankful and pray that GOD will still be with her as she goes through the next few months of her recovery.
     Last week was Thanksgiving and my family and I drove down to Oklahoma to spend it with our family. This consisted with a 5 coarse meal with leftovers to feed a small country,(it feels like) 500 kids wanting attention from you and well, football! Der! But i had a lot of fun and I'm missing all of you!
     In English his week we are working on memoirs and we had to make a 6 word memoir to sum up our life. My friend came up with "Epiic faile; story of my life!" mine was "when in doubt, sing it out!" but they were all really good and i got a laugh out of a few of them. If you want, post one of your own! All you have to do is keep it in 6 words! (its easier than it sounds...)
     My school put on 2 plays this year for my grade! In the first one I am Mrs.Lichtensteinberger and in the second one I am a Conga dancer and Set Crew. We worked really hard and put on a great play. We had a good time doing it also. We have a lot of inside jokes, a lot of laughs and a Big BIG family. Love you all!      -Griz

Movie Review "Red"

So last night my friends and I went to go see the movie "Red". I personally thought it was slow and they played up too much of the love story part. But the fight scenes were pretty awesome!! I had a lot of fun with my friends, but the movie was 3 stars out of 5.

Busy Schedule!

I am sooo tired! I have the busiest schedule! I barley get to see my home. I hope that I can get my life back after the play is over. Not that I don't love being Mrs.Lichtenstienberger, but I haven't been able to see my family and friends in forever. So while I go sleep, God bless you and have a better week than me.

Cupcake wars!!!

So my Family Consumer Science class at school is requiring us to participate in a cupcake war. We make different cupcakes and put them up for judges to judge us on different things like creativity, if they taste good ex. My group are doing marble cupcakes with Orange frosting and butterflies on top. It's going to be awesome! Wish us luck! -Griz

Feeding Tubes, and a win for My Team!

Last night I went to my teams homecoming. We won, yay!  And I had a really good time. My mom got to stay over at my grandmas last night because my grandma has a feeding tube. She doesn't get to eat or drink anything other than what goes in her stomach through the tube. It looks really cool and spaceagey. She says it feels weird being full all the time but not eating anything. But the "food" that goes in the little bag has to be changed every 3 hours so my mom has to stay over there and help her do that. My grandma is my moms new full time job and I think she wouldn't have it any other way. We love you mommy! Good luck and may the LORD be with you all.

Grandma is HOME!!!!!

So today my grandmother was released from the hospital! My family and I are very thankful that the LORD has heard our prayers. Thank yous go out to everyone that have been praying. Thank you! Also thank you to the WONDERFUL hospital staff that were so helpful to my grandma. I hope only the best for everyone and their families.
      LORD, thank you for hearing our prayers. We are so thankful to have my grandma home. Please be with everyone else who is sick and be with their families. Thank you so much. Amen.
