I saw soooo many people I totally forgot about, cuz I never really talked to them in the first place. But it nice to remember them. -For Christmas I got an acoustic guitar, just dance 2, an itunes card, boots, a puzzle, a new cell phone, umm pj's, o and a pink wii remote. My bro and I got my mom lyk a lunch thing cuz she keeps using tubberware(hideous). -Morgan played silent night on his trumpet at church. He was really good. My mom asked him if he could help my brother. It was sooo funny cuz he thought my mom was joking. LOL I could barely take her seriously. -There is this new show called America's Supernanny. Its a black nanny helping families. These families are crazy!!! The kids curse at there parents and the parents are the world's biggest pushover. Its soo funny cuz my mo and I have the same solution for each problem. Lyk if the kids we...

Joseph Accepts Jesus as His Son 18 This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about [ a ] : His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. 19 Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet [ b ] did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. 20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, [ c ] because he will save his people from their sins.” 22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23 “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” [ d ] (which means “God with us”). 24 When Joseph woke up, he did what the a...

I can't wait till Christmas. Only 5 more days. uggggggggh I don't know what to write about. Well Hannah is gone to Kansas. Melodie and I aren't going anywhere, but on Thursday we are going to Dr. Danielson's house again for like a Christmas party. He is making briscuit and I am bringing baked beans(my mom was lyk the least you can do is bring a side sooo*Ta-da*) I can't wait till Thursday. That is pretty much all I can think about.

Our Fuzzy Socks Christmas Time Our Cultural Dance Performance

Beautiful knows we think he is cute, but we think alot of guys are cute. He's not the first. Gosh why couldn't he just take it as a compliment and roll with it. NOOOOOOO he has to make a big deal and then sends his friend over to tell us he doesn't lyk us that way. WHAT THE FREAK!!! Guys are soo dang complicated.(That's funny cuz guys probably think we r just on another planet) Boys can't live with um, can't live with out um. OMG!!! and W.A.P. is having a Christmas party at Danielson's house and I am sooooooo excited. Hannah won't be there though.She is going out of town for the WHOLE  break.. It will just be me and Melodie.

I just got through crying my eyes out. I HATE  crying it sucks, cuz it gives you a really bad headache after, then your eyes are all red and people can tell you were crying. Except I am an expert at being so furtive, no one knows. Here are some tips: Tip #1- Seperate your self lyk I went in the bathroom cuz I don't like it when my mom knows I an crying, cuz she asks questions. Tip #2 don't look anyone in the eyes you might start crying again or they see your red eyes Tip #3 do something so you stop crying I sing a comforting song that way i stop crying Well I guess I should tell you why I was crying. Well if you didn't know already my dad is divorcing my mom, cuz for 18 years he just wasn't happy(supposedly). Well today Morgan gave his testimony and I started thinking of mine(or what mine is becoming). When your dad leaves you feel like he doesn't love you(fyi:at least mine doesn't, otherwise he would have tried to make things work). The hardest part is...

We had a speker come to our school and his name is Justin Lookadoo. He was oober good. He was basically saying that we as girls shouldn't have to compromise for a guy. There was one story he told and I just loved it: Ok so this girl spends every friday and saturday night at home studying. Well a guy asks her out and she knows he does drugs and pretty much isn't someone she shood go out with so she says no. Then another guy asks her out he is like a popular athlete, but she knows that he ends up having sex with the girls he goes out with. So she says no. She just keeps on spending friday and saturday night studying. She goes to graduates high school and goes to college. She is a senior in college now.Well a guy comes along. Great guy smart, athlete, RICH, nice. He asks her out, she says no. He asks her when can he ask her out she says may(may is lyk when school is out for college kids, it was jan. at the time) And guess what she gets a call May 1, and it the guy asking her...

I just finished watching X Factor. And Rachel Crow just went home. I started crying , cuz her song was so powerful she was great. I am mad at Nicole Scherzinger cuz she didn't want America too be mad at her for sending Marcus Canty home, But everyone is still mad at her (the audience booed her too tears it was soo funny). Rachel Crow was amazing. It just isn't fair Marcus has been in the bottom 3 times and they keep giving him more and more chances. I think she was at the bottom bcuz L.A. Reid talked about how people wanted her to do movies or tv shows sumthing lyk that. And I think America was lyk well she doesnt need this show then or our votes then. Her performance was soooo good I encourage you to watch it.

I am soo serious nothing ever happens. But yesterday Hayden lyk dared all of us in W.A.P. to bring our Bible and read it during one of our classes. Needless to say I did it. I was making such a big deal out of it, but there was nothing to worry about. OMG!!! and there us this super cute boy who just started going to our school.I first saw him Wednesday, I don't know if he was there b4 I am usually pretty observant. But everyone else knows him except me, but they all had him when I was in Cali. Coby thought it was funny to tell me he had a gf. Totally not cool(Mel has told me that gfs are replaceable so I wasn't worried about another girl in the picture LOL) Melodie and I call him beautiful, but we heard he got held back. That means he shood b a sophmore. (This also means he is no straight A student lyk me ) He is super cute and soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo muy muy guapo. He is goin to b my nu best best friend (He doesn't know t...

Happy Thanksgiving EVERYONE!!! I hope your food is oober good cuz mine is AWESOME. My aunt's friend is like this really good cook who used to work at a five star restaurant (somewhere over the rainbow). And he made lyk all of the food except for the wonderful macaroni and cheese my mommy always makes. The pecan pie he made was sinful. It is soooooooooo amazing!!! O the stuffing too, o wait and yams eeeeek. They r sooo sweet its amazing And my aunt is a laugh. She brought all these huge plastic containers with her to take food home in. LOL She is hilarious! O and I forgot to talk about W.A.P. last Saturday. Well it was super fun. Hannah and Meodie are lyk the BEST people in the world to do things with. They make so everything fun. There was something wrong with Steve tho I wish he would just tell me. I don't lyk it wen ppl act lyk something is wrong, then when you ask about it they won't tell you. Anywho we met this kid Caleb(i think that's how you spell it), who...

Favorite Picture EVER! Seventh Grade Awards Assembly. Ijeoma, Me, and Amanda. Woodcrest Gym Triston looking fly after promotion picture day in Eighth grade.

It's amazing when u think you know people, they go off and start acting like they never received any common sense. EVER. Uggggh They start believing that what is wrong is now right and vice versa. It makes me upset, because I can't do anything about it. Since I left anything I say goes in one ear and out the other and my opinion no longer matters to ANYONE. Do u not know how much that sucks, just fading into the background, so far that you feel like no one even knows your there. ugggh(this is my nu word)

I haven't written in 4ever. It so funy cuz when I stop writing bcuz Hannah and Melodie stop.Then they sart and I have to read all their posts. But HAPPY BIRTHDAY to TRISTON ahhhhhhhhhhhhh. Triston you rock. I sent him this awesome card, but I can't tell you what is in there, I didn't know that it takes longer for mail to go across state line but that should be like common sense right. Back on topic Bethani. LOL  K Triston you have been I wonderful support for me throughout everything including my whole parental situation. Just talking with you on the phone  I laugh soooooo much it hurts. And it is the craziest stuff. Even if we are talking about you youtube channel: youtube.com/tristontunes . It makes me feel so good to know that I have a friend like you back in Cali. And to know that you will be there for me any time I need someone to talk to. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRISTON!!!! LOVE YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!

Ok so after last night I wanted to talk to Morgan. He goes to my church and was there the whole night. I am happy he came to W.A.P. That was where he told me the WHOLE story. So the kid  has been going through alot to say the least. And after he came off the stage Morgan said the guy's eyes were black. And once we started worship the guy had walked to the back and told the youth pastor he felt those demons in his body. That is why they started praying. Needless to say they prayed and the demons went away. *For my readers PLEASE PLEASE pay close attention to what you are watching on television and listening to on the radio. And know that once you cling to God he will be your protector. Now Ty(uggh i don't even like the name anymore from now on it is **)(because when people curse on TV they use those star thingies and I don't curse so ** is now ** name) Now to get to the story after W.A.P. one of our friends Brooke told told us that ** had told another girl he didn't ...

Tonight I was at church and to say he least one of the boys had demons cast in him. At first, he was trying to distract the the youth pastor with something (he wasn't talking loud enough). But once we started worshiping, people started praying for him in the back. Then he started screaming and trying to get away from them. But they kept praying for him. Then they took him in a back room, and adults started going back there. I hope the Lord works in the situation. Even though I know he is. But the title says it all. I will not fear, this will not scare me. If I feel scared I just give it to the Lord. Now hopefully I can remember this story to tell my friend who missed church tonight.

I miss them soooooooooo much!!! It sucks cuz when I REALLY need them they aren't here. They just know me like a book; can tell when I am upset and angry. It makes me cry cuz, my dad made us move. AWAY from my friends. The only people who truly Love and care for me. Then we move here and my dad decides OUT OF THE BLUE that he isn't happy and wants a divorce. How STUPID is that? Now my friends aren't here to help me through it. GOOOOOsh and EVERYTHING I MEAN EVERYTHING makes me upset. I find myself getting angry and I have to walk away cuz. I don't wanna go off on anyone and they never wanna talk to me again. ugggggggggh it sucks cuz then i can't express any emotion what so evr. My Cali Babies made everything better and being here makes me realize how much I really do need them. And how much some of them needed me and I am not there. I really hope yall know how much you truly mean to me.

 Numbers 11: 10-17 10 Moses heard the people of every family wailing at the entrance to their tents. The LORD became exceedingly angry, and Moses was troubled. 11 He asked the LORD, “Why have you brought this trouble on your servant? What have I done to displease you that you put the burden of all these people on me? 12 Did I conceive all these people? Did I give them birth? Why do you tell me to carry them in my arms, as a nurse carries an infant, to the land you promised on oath to their ancestors? 13 Where can I get meat for all these people? They keep wailing to me, ‘Give us meat to eat!’ 14 I cannot carry all these people by myself; the burden is too heavy for me. 15 If this is how you are going to treat me, please go ahead and kill me—if I have found favor in your eyes—and do not let me face my own ruin.” 16 The LORD said to Moses: “Bring me seventy of Israel’s elders who are known to you as leaders and officials among the people. Have them come to the tent of meet...

OMG!!! there are these super cutes boys on The Sing-Off. The 1st one is on Urban Method and he is a light skinned rapper. Just beautiful person LOL the other one is on Vocal Point and he just got back from Australia, because he dad passed away. I am sad for him, he is still so adorable. This is Uban Method. He is the one w/ the grey jacket and striped hoodie.

I am so tired, I can't think straight. But I had to write or I would forget something important. Well I had a wonderful weekend. Friday after scholl my mom drove me, hannah, and melodie to my house and we played speed and spoons while eating donuts(we r so talented). Then Hannah's mom came and picked us up and we went to hannah's house. There we met with one other girl and worked on our hula dance project. After she left we ate dinner and went the the football game. We lost to Aleto by lyk 40 points. They had 70 at the end of the game(i think u can do the math). Her mom came and picked us up when the game was over, but Ty didn't have a ride so we dropped him off 1st. It was so funny we were dancing in the car and he was acting lyk he had never seen crazy ppl b4 LOL Once we got back we stayed up till about 2 doin who knows what. Then the sadest part is we all woke up at 8:30 on Sat. WE should have been sleeping till 10 but nooooooooooo. For breakfast we had waffles sha...

I am not doing well right now I was just thinking about WAP and now I am crying. The leader started this new thing called iWAP, he tosses around a tennis ball and if you get it you have to say, something you have done to help grow the kingdom of God. And guess who went first YOURS TRULY me. I said," I don't remember doing anything" I was thinking back just now and I started crying, because that was just another thing to make me feel horrible about myself. I know that was not his intention, he wanted people to be accountable. But it was God and I am upset, He is throwing one thing after another in my FACE. We were working things out. I already feel HORRIBLE about being the world's worst Christian, but He won't let up. I see people pass by me or sitting next to me dying inside. I know EXACTLY what they are missing and what it is they need. I just CAN'T tell them what it is they need to hear. I don't even know enough about Christ to help myself. And tha...

I don't think it is a good thing, when you come home from youth upset. OK well before I get to the bad part. The good part came first. My friend Hope was there. They had a game in the beginning where you look through a pie tin for gummy bears with ur face NO HANDS. I didn't win, but I got whipped cream ALL over my face. And NOOOOW. well there were these three kids sitting next to me and Hope. They were probably older than me , but idk. Anyways. The youth person was preaching and they were just chatting away. He told them to be quiet once, but let them keep talking throughout the ENTIRE service. Well I got sooooooooo upset I leaned over and said" can u guys please be quiet" then they sat stunned for a sec. CONTINUED TALKING then they guy closest to us leaned over and said, " Hey, I was in the hospital for two weeks and I was just telling them what was going on." so I replied," well we wood stilll lyk to listen" AND THEY KEPT TALKING!!!!!!!!!!!!...

Hey people of the world. I was ntrying to right last night, but my computer threw a fit as I was about to post. I found out that soccer tryouts are after Thanksgivng. So I cood be on the team. Soccer is awesome. Love it! The only hard part is conditiong. I was watching Dancing With The Stars last night and I don't like any of the stars. But Julianne Hough came back to promote her movie Footloose and to dance with her brother.She is sooooo pretty here is a pic:

Romans 5:3-5 Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perserverance; perserverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.(NIV) *I am in a rough spot in my life. They only thing I can truly count on is God. I must thank him and be glad, because I know he is making me a stronger as a Christian. There is a little excerpt in my Bible and it says,"If your life is a breeze, you won't learn to be genuine and caring; you won't mature, and your faith won't be tested and deepened. The difficulties of life are what make you a better person-stronger, deeper, more hopeful. When you are hurting, realize that pain is what helps you grow more like Christ." Trust in the Lord.

ok so tonight was the homecoming football game it was cool, but I have to go waaaay back to once we got out of school. Well my friend,Melodie, had to serve a ten minute detention, but the teacher was late and then she cut it short, because she wanted to leave. After that we trecked 44444444eeeeeverrrrrrr to reach Hannah's house which she didn't tell us was so far away. When we reached her house her grandmother had cookies made and they were FANTASTIC. Then we ate pizza and breadsticks. We then headed off to the game we won of course WE ARE BEAST!! I am texting Hannah about her and her date to homecoming. That's it. *Just Dance*

ok sorry about that pouring my heart out 2 a computer screen (GENIUS!!!) well i dont even noe where 2 begin now but not staying in contact w/ my friends was all my fault, stupid me, it sucks cuz when i really need them they arent actually here w/ me so i cant hug them or cry on there shoulders but i am trying my best to keep it 2gether.

Hey Hey Hey well i just got back from Cece's pizza, I went with my w.a.p. buddies. In case u didn't no what that(which you probably dont but..)it stands for We All Praise. Its a christian group thats meets at bos. I came home and my mom had just made shrimp and rice(MY FAV besides her mac & cheese) AND RICE KRISPIES!!!!!!!!!!!!! i NOOOOOOO HOW COULD SHE DO SUCH A THING. but thats that. The homecoming game is tomorrow night and I am very excited. I am not going to the dance though, but my friend Hannah is going with her bo-friend TY. He's cute no lie with abs of steel. I am kinda glad I am not going tho, then I would feel like a third wheel. I have being feeling lyk that alot l8ly but thats what happens when u move from a place where u no EVRY1. Then you move to Texas and start ALL OVER. Then everything goes rong. I feel miles away from my friends(well I am) but... lyk we are losing touch and I am scared cuz I soon wont have any 1. I will be all alone in my own world...

I just had the most marvelous idea. I was looking through past things I had written for school and church. Then I came across an article type thing I had written for a church newsletter and this scripture has so much meaning I wanted to share it. But then I was lyk why don't I put more scriptures up more often, so hope you enjoy. Inspirational Scripture Then Jesus declared,” I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.” John 6:35(NIV) *Eating is a big part of life. You have to eat for your body to survive. Jesus is food for your spirit. If you don’t have him, you’re spiritually starving.

I had thee most AMAZING time in dance today. We started chreography on our first dance. The song is Edge of Glory by Lady Gaga, but it is an acoustic cover done by Ronan Parke. We only did the first couple seconds of the song, but it is so involved. I love my teacher she amazing and SHE CAN DO THE SPLITZ. My ultimate goal is to tryout for the Pure Gold Dance Team and dance on the football field with all the other pure gold dancers. Right now all i need to do is make sure I can do the splitz before May(that is when tryouts are), enjoy this year, and remember ALL the techniques that will benefit me on the team. That's not alot. Right?!

Today was my first day of high school . I was completely overwhelmed. The classrooms weren't as I excepted though. I was thinking more people would be in the classrooms, than who actually showed up. Lunch  ALMOST made me very emotional. At first I couldn't find anyone I knew, but then I saw TWO people(seriously TWO, out of all those people who walked into the cafetaria I only saw TWO) that part was horrible. Everything else was ok. It was the first day; I hope the rest of the week is alot better. I am happy considering, what could have happened.

I just read a powerful devotional by one of my new friends here in Texas. Kaylie Hathaway has truly been given a marvelous spiritual gift in witnessing, through writing. I truly admire her love of Christ. Click on the link below to read her article. www.ibegat.com/follow-me/

I told earlier about how I was taking a cake decorating class and how I was soooo excited; its nothing to rave about anymore. It's pretty stress full, because we have about $100 dollars worth of stuff to buy. The little things here and there are adding up fast. We are using coupons to make some of the tools less expensive, and trying to get the least amount of tools we can. On the other hand, I made a marvelous cake with about three different people's icing(I didn't have enough). But check out my picture.

I just signed up for a cake decorating class and i am oober excited. It starts next Wednesday. I am also hoping my dad can get me envolved with a cupcake place he services. I would absolutely die if I eventually got a job there, but it is extremely far. I love baking last night my brother and I made cinnamon rolls. Well, I did most of it, my brother just made the icing. They were fantastic though.

It was a good day. We gave my dad a basket with: small towels, almonds, Twix, new clothes(cuz he has a HORRIBLE sense of style), Snickers, a money jar titled "Man Cave Fund", ummmmmmm.....I think that was it. Then we went to a church this morning, with a 9 o'clock service sooo we had the rest of the day together. I wanted Italian food or Mexican, but we ended going to a Chinese buffet.

Today was sooooooooooooooooooooooooo fun. We went to a water park called Bahama Beach. It was awesome, I messed up my hair but I am happy I did. The best part was I  got to meet/see some extended family. I had a blast we got there early and stayed till around noon. The slides were the best part; some were sooo fast you couldn't even touch the slide as you were going down, others were really slow. I am getting braids on Monday I am happy, cuz I can go swimming w/o a problem. Time to sign off. Work hard and Just Dance. Bethani

This morning I woke up; my mom, brother and I went to the YMCA. I have been trying to stay in shape as much as possible. I went on the treadmill most of the time. I got this book at my public library and it has different ways to keep your body toned. It is really great I just can't seem to stay commited.

I have been on a reading frenzy for the past couple of days. Last night I stayed up till about twelve thirty reading Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy by Ally Carter.The action and romance all rolled into one made it hard to stop. Also, I am two chapters away from finishing Tour de Force by Elizabeth White. I have completely fallen in love with this book. To sum it up, it is about a rising ballerina falling in love with a former dancer who left Ballet New York(BNY) because of temptations. His sister had passed and he was left to raise her child. You really have to read it for yourself, to discover the courage and hope they had. It will make you believe in miracles.

I have been in Texas for about a month now. I start high school after this summer. I am soooooooooo scared because I barely know anyone. I met a few people the last weeks of middle school here, but I don't know if they even like me enogh to let me hang around with them in high school. I just want friends who will be with me throughout high school. I am not asking for too much just people who won't curse and are true friends. Is that too much to ask?

I saw America's Got Talent last night. My favorite was Pop Life. The girl who sang was FaNtaStic(seriously) the guys that were playing with her were really off though. Piers was right when he said she should go to Vegas by herself. I also watched the Bachelorette on Monday when Bentley lied to Ashley, about why he was leaving. Bentley was mean to do that to her, but Ashley wasn't thinking all that much when he lied to her face time and time again. Also last night was The Voice was on. I adore The Voice, one of the best shows ever. Beverly, Frenchie and Lily on Christina's team are the best of the night. I think that Blake Shelton really truly cares about the people he coaches.

OMG!!!!!!! I just started blogging today, right now. I am soooo excited!!!!!! I wanted to open up a blog, because I just moved to Texas and I wanted to be able to have my friends write me instead of just calling and all that stuff and lots of people can read about my famous venture to the great state of Texas.
