Life

Last night, I went with Josh, Alex, Bekah, and Hannah to see Night in the Museum Two, Battle of the Smithsonian... And it is totally AWESOME!!! The whole movie is packed with action, humor, and battle and I would definitely recommend seeing it if you haven't already. After watching the film, we snacked on ice cream cones at McDonalds while laughing our heads off about scenes from the Night in the Museum 2.

Hmmm, so what else is new with me... Last weekend me, my dad, my brothers, and some friends of ours from church went on our annual Boundary Waters trip. We had a blast canoeing, exploring, skirmishing with wooden blades, slingshotting, and just relaxing in the quiet, peaceful terrain of northern Minnesota.
I've also got a bunch of awards lately, so for all you guys who've awarded me, thanks!!!

Well, I think I'm going to go read more of "The Lightning Thief" (first book in the Olympians Series written by Rick Riordan). The series is so good, that I'm rereading it.

Namarie!

Confirmation and Polls

I just got confirmed yesterday and it was one of the best days of my life. Half-way through the church sermon on Sunday about seven confirmation students and I were called down to be obviously, comfirmed. All the student's parents came as well and we stood in front of the entire church congregation while our pastor and parents prayed for us and then let us participate in communion. I broke down while the church leaders were praying for us. I just felt so... I don't know, loved? It was just very cool and I felt a really deep connection with God as I confessed that He is my Lord and partook in communion. After doing communion, the confirmation students and I watched our testimonies (which we wrote and then said on camera earlier) were played in front of the church.


The results for the Eragon vs. Harry Potter poll are in: Eragon: 13-Harry Potter 0
Wow... That was a total blowout. I haven't actually read the Harry Potter books but they are talked about so much, I wanted to see how it would compare with one of my favorite series: The Inheritance Series. From looking at the poll, I guess Harry Potter can't really compare with Eragon at all!!! :-D
There were also 8 votes for Don't like Either, 2 for Tie, and 0 for Never heard of them.

Well, since that poll is over, I've created a new LoTR character poll, a name poll, and a book poll comparing two different series. The book poll is comparing the two series:

The Door Within Trilogy

&

The DragonKeeper Chronicles

What are you waiting for? Start voting!!!
Until next post, Namarie!!!
