The Big Night :)

Hey Guys,

So Sunday night was my Church youth group's Christmas program.

It was a lot of fun and a lot of hard work trying to put this play together.

My friend Sammy wrote and directed the play.

Along side were a few helpers to make the play turn out the way we wanted.

The play was about a spoiled girl named Bethany Coleman.

Her dad owned a big department store and she thought that Christmas was all about gifts, decorations and well her.

So she is visited by three angels who show her the true meaning of Christmas.

Also to help Bethany with coming to Christ was the choir director Molly Walker ( Me ).

The play turned out very good and I was very nervous about it at first but then once everything fell into place I wasn't anymore.

Here are some pictures of the big night:

Sign Up Please :)

Hey Guys :)
I have my little give away item all ready.
I only have 2 people signed up for the give away.
I will post the pictures once I have them downloaded.
Its so awesome.
Some of the stuff I wanted to keep :)
Anyway please sign up you don't have to pay for anything.
Please just comment below your name ( if it doesn't appear next to your picture ) and your email address so I can contact you if you win.
Hopefully I will be able to film the drawing but if not just trust me that I will pick randomly.
Thanks guys.
P.S I can only mail in the USA, sorry :(
-Cori :)

What you have been waiting for...

OK so I don't have it yet but I decided that I am going to give away...
Drum roll please.........
A Christmas/Winter goody bag type thing.
It will probably have an ornament in it and maybe some fun game things.
Stuff like that.
Hope you all like the idea.
You can now start signing up for the give away.
I need you to post a comment with your email so I can contact you if you win.
Thanks so much.
Oh and I know what you are thinking.
I thought she was only going to have a give away if 22 people follow her blog?
Well I thought about it and for every post or button or something like that you put on your blog I will put your name in my box so you have more of a chance of winning.
Oh and if you do something like that post a comment letting me know you did.
Thanks again guys.
P.S I will post a pic of the goody bag when I get it finished.

With Christmas cheer,
Cori

The Give Away Idea :)

It has come to my attention that my goal to get 13 more followers by the end of the year may be harder than I thought.
So instead I decided that 8 more followers may be more reasonable.
So by the end of the year there should be 22 people following instead of 27.
Of course if that is still to hard I will lower it.
I really do want to have this give away.
So please tell others about my blog.
To help with that I have an idea.
For every person you ask to follow my blog and they end up following I will put you name in a bucket for the drawing. Of course you can still sign up for it but the more people you ask to follow the better chance you have of winning.
I will post the picture of what I will be giving away maybe tomorrow.
Thanks so much :)

Pics of me

Ok so I want to post something but nothing worth posting about has really come up so I decided to post pictures of me.

hope you like them

My Blog :)

Hey Guys and Girls :)
I haven't posted in FOREVER.
I tried to find a new template for my blog and didn't know which site I should go to find a new template for my blog.
I want something wintry.
If any of you know which site might be helpful please post a comment on it.
That would so awesome.
ok so today was pretty awesome.
I woke up early but oh well I'm not winy about it.
Then I went to a study group for this thing I go to once a week called Classical Tutors (CT)
Then I went home with one of my bestie's Tiph.
And Now I am posting about my day.
Thanks again all of you for following my blog.
I love posting and adding thisngs to my blog.
If you know anyone that might want to follow my blog please tell them about it.
My goal by the end of the year is to get about 13 more people to follow my blog ( that means 27 people will be following).
If I get to my goal or over I am going to have a pretty sweet give away.
I think I might have something in mind too :)
Thanks.
-Cori :)
P.S MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL :)

Happy Waking Up Early Friday :) ( not )

Hey Everyone :)
I won't probably be able to post for a couple of days so I thought I would today.
Well...yesterday was GREAT!!!
We had some family members come over for Thanksgiving.
The food my mom made was amazing.
Today we are having another group of family members over for leftover Friday or Black Friday if you prefere.
This morning my mom, sister and dad went out to get some stuff on sale.
I woke up with a scratchy throat so I just stayed in bed.
I can't say I wasn't happy with my choice though :)
Anyway so they got up at 4:00 in the morning.
Yikes!!
I feel better now but I'm still glad I got to stay home and sleep normal hours.
Have A happy leftover Friday aka Black Friday.
Why do they call it that anyways.
If ya know it would awesome if you could post a comment.
I've been wondering that.
Thanks :)
-Cori

The Giving of Thanks :)

Hey everyone :)
Just wanted to make a shout out to Thanksgiving :).
To me thanksgiving means:
-Awesome food
-Family members
-Rock band with my cousins
-And most importantly giving thanks to God for everything He's blessed me with.
I luv Thanksgiving because not only is it a way to eat a ton of food without your mom telling you to slow down but its an opportunity to spend time with your family and friends that you might not otherwise.
I am thankful for:
-My blog and followers
-My family
-My friends
-My Church
-My health
-My life
-and my relationship with Jesus Christ.
Thanks
-A very thankful Cori :)
P.S It would be great if you could post a comment on what you are most thankful for and what your favorite part of Thanksgiving is. I would love to see what you love about the holiday.

H1N1 :(

Ok so I was kinda hoping that none of my family members would get the swine flu...excuse me H1N1.
But...guess what.
My mom got it.
I will say its really not the worst flu in the would but its certainly not the best.
She is getting a little better but not by much.
Please pray for her so that she'll get better and please pray for my family and I too so that we don't catch it.
Thanks :)
-Cori :)
