I'm so sorry. It's like I've abandoned my blog. I just don't feel that anything interesting is going on in my life right now. So, I feel like it'll bore you to death as you read.
I'm writing now just because I haven't written in a while and to let you know that I still do have a blog. I still do pay attention to it, but I just haven't had time lately. I've been busy, but with non-interesting stuff.
Well, I've moved and I have an amazing house and a cat. God blessed us with that. I have to paint my room soon...when I get the time. It's a nice blue color, but yeah. Anyways...
My friends have all gone to the States for the summer and I'm left here alone. Bummer. I still skype with them and all, but I miss them. Terribly.
School has been a pain in my rear-end. So I'm in 10th grade, but my mom wouldn't let me skip Algebra and I hate it with a passion. They say I'll use it all in the future, but seriously when am I gonna have to find x in 3x-4y=13. Just go die.
I haven't even had time to read the books I want to lately. I've had to read The Pilgrim's Progress for school. I'm not saying it's bad..it's just not really my type of book. I bought Dracula and I have Wuthering Heights read to about page 30. It's killing me and I just want to read.
I was able to watch Interview with the Vampire one afternoon. It was completely and totally amazing. I loved it. Definately a favorite. Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, and Antonio Banderas all in the same movie is just exciting. Plus, they're vampires. V""V I'll have to read the book.
Some major news that I hope most of you heard about is..*drum roll* Eclipse came out! By far the best of the books and the movies. It turned a bunch of people's heads. I was so excited. I wished I could've seen the premiere in the States, but atleast I got to see it period, right? I'm hoping they still have posters at Walmart when I go to the states. I really want one. The DVD will be out by then too, so that'll be great.
The States..*sigh* Oh, how I miss the States and all the amazing people there. I missed saying Happy Independence Day on here so here I go. HAPPY LATE INDEPENDENCE DAY, AMERICA! I love my country and I thank God for the brave soldiers that fight for our freedom every day. They're true heroes.
Anyways, see what I mean? Nothing interesting. And I have nothing left to say. Well, actually I could go on and on about all the little things that have happened, but then you'd just click exit. So, I won't make you suffer. Alright to anyone who's actually reading this, Love ya and have a good week. :)

A Lot of Non-Interesting Stuff That's Going On

Now that I'm back..
Now that I'm back in Ecuador there are a few changes being made.
1) We're moving. We're moving back near the Quito area. We hope to work where they are building the new airport because once the airport is built people will be piling in and we want churches to be there and ready for them.
2) I have to start schoool. I wanna go back to 9th grade! I'm not ready for 10th yet! *Sigh* Oh well pray for me tomorrow as I start.
3) We're gonna be traveling a lot between Alausi and Quito, looking for a house..so we need prayers for safe travel..also pray that we find a house quick because I'm so ready to move. I miss my friends. :(
4) No one reads this that I know of but I feel that if someone ever does they still know whats goin on in my life.
5) I GOT WILLIAM BACK. Using that other guitar was just killing me. It didn't feel right and I didn't like it. Sure it was a good guitar...but come on..nothing can compare to William.
I think that's it. That's my life right now. Oh and if you ever get a chance, read Vampire Academy. It's got perfect balance of everything. Also, I've lost all respect for Miley Cyrus. Just thought I'd tell ya that. Oh and the Rangers won today. That made me happy. Umm.
THE END.

I haven't wrote much this past month. Um..but yea. Burned came out. I finished it in a couple hours and it was really good. Good job P.C. Cast. I'm waiting for Awakened now. Hurry up...please. I was super excited but now that Burned came out I have to leave. I'm dreading it. Yea, I'm pretty sure you all already know I love the States way more than Ecuador. :) If you didn't then SURPRISE SURPRISE. Now ya know. I hate it. Now I'll be counting down 10 months. Atleast I get to come back. Hey look on the bright side..I may be getting a new phone when I get back. Awesome. Oh and if you haven't seen the Eclipse trailer #2. GO WATCH IT. NOW! Or I will come kick your rear end..in 5 minutes. Don't bother with locking the doors..or windows..I have my ways of getting in your house to kick your rear end. Yes. I do. Anyways...Eclipse is gonna be B-E-A-S-T. Seriously, GO WATCH THE TRAILER. *Sigh* I was afraid they would screw up my favorite book of the series..Turns out they might not. So it's amazing. WAIT..go read the books first. :) I hate watching the movies before I read the books..then I know what happens and it ruins it all. Although, I always read the last paragraph of a book before I actually start it. I'm such a cheater. Handcuff me. Gah. 10 Things I Hate About You is my new favorite show. Kinda..Lost is still in there. It's amazing and I love it. I watched all the episodes of the first season that are out last night. Mhmm it was light when I went to sleep but it was worth it. *Sigh* Patrick. Lol :) Anyways, I'm going "home" Tuesday. I seriously thought I was leaving on Thursday up until today and I almost cried when I heard we were leaving on Tuesday and this week is already going by fast. Why is it when you're having fun time goes by fast and when you're not having fun..time goes by fast. Maybe our minds just need to reset their clocks. Maybe we're just slow. I think that's it. Us humans need to speed up. Maybe Obama is right, maybe we do need extra school hours. Wait that's not possible. Nevermind. WE DO NOT NEED EXTRA SCHOOL HOURS AND WE DO NOT NEED SCHOOL DURING SUMMER. Some people do need serious help, but that does not mean all humans do. It's like some people are alcoholics and they go to rehab, but they don't make the whole world go to rehab. See...Idk..I'm just running on. Ignore me. Ok, off to read. :)
PS Did you know that there is a sequel to Gone With The Wind.
PPS Does anyone read this or am I just typing to air?

He is Risen.
Happy Easter everyone! Today was wonderful..filled with excitement.
Today we all need to realize that Easter is not about bunnies or easter eggs but about Jesus dying on the cross for us and rising on the third day. For YOU and me. I can't imagine him dying for anyone like me but He loves me. He loves everyone and so he died for us. He died so that we could have eternal life and one day we will live with him forever. Forever in the presence of God. I can't even imagine that.
Take a moment sometime today to think about what Jesus did for you. Let it sink in that that was no fairytale and that Jesus was and is real to this day. Eat some Peeps while you're thinking. Always helps me to eat and think. ;)
He is Risen.

Nothing Real Big
Hey all, I haven't wrote in a while..so I thought I would. I've been kinda sorta busy lately. My computer went bonkers the other day and got fixed thanks to Uncle Jeff and now it can't remember things and so I hope I get that fixed soon...also my cousin got married. Rachel got married March 20th. It was a gorgeous wedding and she was beautiful. I was a hostess..which was fun because I got to wear this pretty little rose. :) Lol You know how I love roses. I will totally add pictures later.
It's officially Spring now. Yay! Trees are blooming beautifully and on the sunny days it's just about perfect. Then the weather can't decide on what to do so it goes all rainy and yucky. Thanks weather.
I'm sick at the moment. I can't decide if it's just sinus stuff or if I'm sick sick. I'm leaning towards sinus.
I'm trying to get in all the reading I can while I'm in. I'm borrowing books from people and so I have to get them back to them before I leave. My parents bought me Lord Sunday by Garth Nix. YES!! I've been reading as much as I can when I can. It's amazing so far..just so you know.
Um and yeah. That's about all that's going on with me. Nothing real big. :)

Healing Hand of God by Jeremy Camp
Sorry the lyrics may not be correct but I tried. I love this song so much. It's amazing and very encouraging. I also love Jeremy Camp. He is one of my favorite song writers and just an amazing person, not that I know know him or anything but people express themselves through their music. Go listen to it and the rest of Jeremy Camp's songs. Trust me..it's so worth your time.
I have seen a million faces,
I fear in the pain.
I have watched the tears fall plenty,
From heart ache and strength.
So if life's journey,
Has you weary and afraid.
There's rest in the shadow of His wings.
I have walked through the valleys,
The mountains and plains.
I have held the hand of freedom,
It washes all my stains.
If you feel the weight of many trials,
And burdens from this world.
There's freedom in the shelter of the Lord.
I have seen,
The healing hand of God.
Reaching out and mending broken hearts.
Taste and see the fullness of His peace,
And hold on to what's being held out.
The healing hand of God.
I have touched the scars upon His hands,
To see if they were real.
He has walked the road before me,
He knows just how I feel.
When you feel that there's not anyone,
Who understands your pain,
Just remember all of Jesus' suffering.
'Cause I have seen,
The healing hand of God.
Reaching out and mending broken hearts.
Taste and see the fullness of His peace.
And hold on to what's being held out.
Cast all your cares on him,
For He cares for you.
He's near to the broken and confused.
By His stripes,
Our spirit is renewed.
So enter in the joy prepared for you.
I have seen,
The healing hand God,
Reaching out and mending broken hearts.
Taste and see the fullness of his peace,
and hold on to what's been held out.
The healing hand of God
The healing hand of God
The healing hand of God
And hold on to what's been held out
Hold on to what's been held out.
The healing hand of God.

Life is Good.
Well :) We're in the States and it's wonderful. We just got the internet hooked up in the trailer. First time I think the trailer has ever had internet in it. Poor old thing. It's home to me though. I love it. We got to see most of our family already but not a lot of friends. We've only been here 2 days though. We have 10 weeks to see all these people. The 10 weeks will fly by. Bummer. Anyways, We met our neighbors today. We had them last time we were in but we never got to actually meet them. They were nice and had the cutest puppies EVER. The one I was holding liked my hands, jacket, and face a little too much but he was so so cute. Our neighbor makes the most beautiful saddles I've ever seen. They were gorgeous and he makes them with no electricity. Amazing right? (For those who don't know what neighbors I have they are Amish.) They are having bake sales every Saturday and my mom is so excited about that. Lol. There are 8 children, I think. We met 7 of them today. Of course I don't remember their names. They have 2 sets of twins, which I thought was pretty cool. I would put a picture up here of them but ya know they're Amish. No no to pictures. I'm not gonna sneak one either. It goes against their beliefs and I feel it's wrong. It would be wonderful to have a picture. Amazing photography you could have there. Anyways, they were nice folks. Yes, We have gone to Walmart. One of the best places on the face of this earth. :) Some people don't know how lucky they are to have a Walmart. I've had Mountain Dew and REAL Doritos. I have Patches back. I have no phone, but that's cool. The Plane ride in was so aggravating. Last time we flew in, it was empty and everyone that wanted one could have a whole row of seats to themselves. This time we could barely have our own seat to ourselves. The plane was packed like sardines. I had a ginormous pain in my side from not wanting to touch the man beside me, not that he was gross or anything, I just didn't want to bother him. There were no good movies on, nothing. Just tv shows. Which were pretty good but still. Annoying. Agh! But now it's all over and worth it. I have me some Doritos, some MD Code Red, Patches, NCIS, and TN back. Life is good.

I Wish I Could Teleport
Well tomorrow I start my journey to the States. I can't wait. It's gonna be so awesome. Tomorrow, we'll wake up real early (for me atleast) and drive five hours to Quito. In Quito, We'll just hang out with some friends and chill. At eight we're gonna go to a someones house and visit with them. At 10, we'll head to the airport and go through all the annoying airport stuff. :P Around 12 something we'll board our first plane to Atlanta. I'll be so tired but I can never sleep on planes. The airline we're flying with has little personal tvs..so Itll make the ride a little bit better. We'll board another plane in Atlanta around 5..maybe. Then we'll arrive in Memphis around 8. After that I'll be a little over excited and not really know whats happening. We'll get picked up by one my dad's friends. His name is Brian Rainey. He's pretty cool. Ha! Then we'll head home!! Agh! I can't wait!!! All this horrible packing will be worth it. Haha. I still have some packing to do and all. I have to get everything perfect and make sure I've got everything I need. I'm really ready to get some good hamburgers and fish and all that yummy stuff. Oh how I've missed that. AND I get to see all of my friends and family. I've missed them more than food. :) I wish I could teleport. I wouldn't be right here right now. ;) Lol.

Carnaval
This weekend was called Carnaval. It's considered a "Christian" holiday, but it's really not. On Carnaval weekend most people have waterballoon fights and spray people with water. It's actually really fun. Me and Eli got on the roof and threw waterballoons at people. It's the only weekend that it's not illegal. :) The little kids just laugh and laugh. I never got hit with a waterballoon. On Friday I went walking around town when all the water fights started, but I never got hit. My mom says it's because they don't know how we'll react yet. Hehe. So I got lucky. Another thing about Carnaval is they don't only throw water. They will smash eggs on your head, throw ink on you, flour, foam and anything they can find. It can get really gross. Here in Alausi they had a 3 hour long parade. My parents went to it and took pictures, but I was asleep through the whole thing. Teehee. So the whole meaning of Carnaval, or so says this man we know, is you cleanse yourself and wash yourself and if you have eggs and flour on, you'll go home and wash yourself and if people throw water at you it's washing you. I really don't get it. I'm not the smart person in this situation. I wasn't really paying attention. Sorry guys. My parents probably have a way better explanation on what it signifies on their blog. It's pratherfamily.wordpress.com. I think my dad is writing a blog on it as I write. So I hope he explains it. I probably have everything wrong. Don't listen to what I said. Lol. I'll be Stateside in 10 days, guys! Love y'all! and thanks for being the tiny amount of people who read my blog. :) You're special.

LET'S DO THIS THING!
Well, today in the life of Olivia nothing happened. Except school and guitar. It was one of THE most boring days in my entire life. I made cookies though. :) Chocolate Chip and they are SOOOO good. Like seriously. If we had some decent milk it would be paradise, but our milk tastes nasty. Atleast to me it does. I really want to go to the beach. I found this amazing bathing suit on Victoria Secret's website and I'm dying to have it, but I really don't think you guys want to hear about that. COME TO THE BEACH WITH ME! I BEG OF YOU. It's no fun if it's just you and your family. I want the beach. Not the ocean. The Beach. I hate the ocean. It's creepy and scary. What I have is called, Thalassophobia.(maybe that's how you spell it) Fear of the ocean. Why can't you copy and paste on here????? I've tried it like 300 times and it won't work. That's retarded. I've watched the Superbowl commercials now. They are down right hilarious. I love the Megan Fox one and the Doritos one. My faves so far. I haven't watched every single one of the commercials, but I'm getting close. I BOUGHT THE RASCAL FLATTS NEWEST CD LAST NIGHT. The cd is like a year old, but it's one of my faves out of all of their cds and I BOUGHT IT, on iTunes. So guess what I've been doing today!!! GUESS!! Learning the songs on the guitarrrrrr. If that was your guess, then you guessed right. They are a lot easier than the other songs they have. It made me happy! My fingers hurt really bad and my thumbs are killing me. One from me cheating on bar chords and the other from strumming. I really don't know why the strumming one hurts so bad, but it does. Oh well, No pain no gain. So here's the deal. I buy that cute swimsuit, we go to the beach, we play some Rascal Flatts, we have awesome bible studies on the beach, we walk the beach at night, and we sleep in late. Sound good? It sure does to me. LET'S DO THIS THING!

You've Got Me and Jesus
Today I learned a lot. Most of us, girls, teenage girls, throw our lives away over guys. We let them break our hearts into little shreds and we cry ourselves to sleep at night because we think we could never love another guy and no one will ever love you. BIGGEST LIE. God loves you. We have a, kinda, saying and you finish a sentence with "to death." Ya know it? For example, I love you to death. Well, God does. He died for you on the cross. He, the Lord of Lords, the King of Kings, thinks YOU are to die for. How does THAT make you feel?
God has given me life. Every morning He lets me wake up. I have had trouble in the past, almost everyone has. I started down the wrong path more than once, but I try to get on the right one. I have lived my life the way I wanted to and that got me nowhere. I was living like an idiot, not appreciating life at all. It was just another random thing combined with all my earthly materials. I've lived that life and I turn to God, then I stray away again. What I have feared is that if I turn to God, I won't be able to have fun anymore. Wrongo. What a stupid thought. I need to trust in Him, with all my heart. Psalms 46:1-3 is my favorite verse. I love Psalms. David was not only an amazing writer, but he went through so much like we do. Go read that verse. It's amazing. I want to be able to trust God with my whole entire heart, soul, mind, strength, every part of me. Because He layed down HIS life for me. He forgives me each and everyday. He loves me. He wants me to know that too. God wants to teach us so much and we need to listen. If we don't He'll try other methods. Those methods are not that much fun. I'm currently going through one. God, I believe, is trying to teach me that I don't need all these friends here, all I need is HIM. Him alone. One by one my friends are slipping away. Now, It may just be me. :) I really hope not, I try and be a good friend, but I really think God is trying to teach me something. God loves you and He will never put you through something He knows you can't pull through. So if God is putting me through this, I'm going to try my hardest to pull through it. I pray that I learn from this lesson. "Trust in Him and He will direct your paths straight." TRUST HIM and pray that I may trust him too. Because I need Him. I know I do. Without Him I would be nothing. Pray for me as I am going through all these changes. Life is a wonderful and amazing gift but it is also complicated and hard. Life will throw you curves and you've gotta learn to swerve, but don't go too far of the race track. You'll hit a wall or spin out on the grass.
Always remember one thing, You've got me and Jesus! :) Love y'all!

Big Loss
I'm doing this in blue in honor of the Colts death. We lost tonight. Sad day. VERY sad. I would love to say we played a good game, but that'd be lying. I was very disappointed in Austin Collie and Peyton Manning. They will have to regain my respect NEXT SEASON. THERE IS ALWAYS NEXT SEASON. Never give up hope people. EVER. Anyways, I will congratulate the Saints on their very first Superbowl. Congratulations. I'm glad (not) that you won. Enjoy the pride and joy that comes with that trophy. Until next season, goodbye. I still hate you. I will NOT tell you the ending score. I will cry. No just kidding. It's just sad. I still love me some Colts though. MUAH!

Waiting...:)
So I just read PC Cast's blog for the first time in forever..and they are making a movie..well maybe...she isn't in control of it and they don't know exactly. I hope they do and she says she trusts who is making the movie to not make it out there like Eragon was and well I trust her. So now we wait and see. :) The weekend is here..FINALLY..now I get to stay up late and do some random something and be bored. :) but hey its the weekend. I may just quit my Twitter account. It's pretty boring..but then again I may not. I finally found the REAL Taylor Swift on there...after tons of searching. So I don't want to think of that as a waste of time just yet. Now that the weekend is here I'm waiting for the States. 3 weeks. Just 3 weeks. Then after those 3 weeks I'll go to the states and then will wait for Garth Nix's book and after his book is released I'll wait for BURNED! Woohoo! I can't wait...but I'll have to. Umm yeah...just thought I'd tell you guys that. :) like you wanna know. But that's me up there. My obbsession with books. :) I don't get why people hate to read. It's totally amazing to me. Oh well...Weirdos...

I Was Bored
So I'm probably gonna do like 10 of these a day until I get tired of it and move on to something else. I'm really bored right now so I thought I'd write another blog entry for today. Right now I'm watching Black Hawk Down and Facebooking. No one is on facebook to talk to and commercials are on at the moment. Although without the commercials I wouldn't a known they were having a Jennifer Aniston day on TNT soon. Joy! No jk I like her. She is like 40 and still beautiful. Um well I'm gonna tell you about my day then. Well I woke up..shocking I know..then I ate breakfast. I then got on facebook and did whatever I needed to do. THEN I started school. I'm homeschooled by the way. I did all my school except math. I hate math so I saved it. I pray for me the day I'm gonna have to double up. I took a biology test today! Whoopty-tah! I actually got a good grade an A+. Which made me happy. Then I watched a couple Bewitched episodes..ate some popcorn..practiced guitar...and then I sat on the couch..made my blog..:)...and twitter and facebooked. Oh what an amazing day...NOT. It was really boring..but ya know. It's better than not having a day..I guess. I just wish it was the weekend already! GRR..hurry up! The weeks go by fast but the days and hours go by soo soo slow! Well commercials are off and the movie is back on. But still no one to talk to! Bummer. But I guess I'll stop writing anyways. :) but don't worry..I'll be back very very soon!
