Last night I went to the midnight showing of New Moon! It was awesome. I’ve only read the first two books so far and I am in LOVE with New Moon. I’m for sure “Team Jacob”. When I saw the first movie (Twilight) I was pretty disappointed. I thought it made the cute love story into a weird movie. I also thought Robert Pattinson didn’t do such a hot job in the first one. He changed an awesome and cute vampire boy into a weirdo that was WAY to intense. But back to New Moon! I thought the movie was SUPER! Way better than Twilight! New Moon did an awesome job of portraying most of the characters (in my opinion). I was pretty skeptical about how New Moon would turn out but I was pleased. I am a HUGE Lautner fan and I wondered how he would handle the roll… May I just say, he was the bomb.

So let’s discuss Taylor/Jacob.. Am I in love with him? Well as much as I would like to be, I think being in love is a two way street. Am I infatuated with him? Well yes.. maybe a little too much. He is the hottest thing since sliced toast (not just bread, cause ya know toast is hot). I am WAY more attracted to the sweet, but strong, has to watch his temper, funny, loyal, werewolf kind of guy. Give me a flying, pale, glitter-y, boy.. not so much. I still like Edward but they don’t compare! For instance when Edward had his shirt of in this movie I was actually a little grossed out.

I thought it was SO cool to see this scene in the movie ^ In the book this is just how I pictured Jacob’s bedroom. My sister didn’t think that was cool at all but I freaked out. Hah it was sweet.

So today on Facebook my dad saw somebody post this verse.. “‘I hate your NEW MOON festivals and your appointed feasts, They have become a burden to Me; I am weary of bearing them.” -Isaiah 1:14 Here is my response to that… I feel that maybe God wants me to marry Jacob Black, because together we can be missionaries to the werewolf tribs.

I’m really almost done going on and on about my silly love for Taylor cutie Lautner I just wanted to talk about Kristen Stewart. I personally am not a fan of her as Bella. Her look is good but I never pictured Bella talking like a man and always having one eyebrow raised! Me and some of my friends were talking about it today and making jokes. I just think she’s a little more weird then I wanted Bella to be. Oh well.

I also thought Robert Pattinson did much better as Edward Cullen in New Moon. It was more like the Edward I picture in the book.

I also made a shirt for the midnight showing last night! I forgot to take a picture in it so here it is! Hah later gator..

- Maci Lautner (wait what!?)

I’m in love with you, Bella,’ Jacob said in a strong, sure voice. ‘Bella, I love you. And I want you to pick me instead of him. I know that you dont feel that way, but I need the truth out there so you know your options. I wouldnt want a miscommunication to stand in our way.

I’m back bloggers!

I’ve been so busy lately I haven’t even thought about blogging.  But I’m going to try to get goin’ again. I don’t even know where to start? Homeschooling has been going really good! I actually love it. Do I love not being with my friends all day everyday… not so much. But the school work part is awesome! Next year I will for sure be going back to school so I can make a lot of memories senior year.

Life has been SO crazy lately! I’m just trying to focus on following God’s will for my life everyday.

I now have a car and I love it to death! I’m having a blast hanging out with my friends. But having a car makes me want to go shopping, go to the movies, go out to eat, etc! More than I already do. Which means…. this gal needs to find a job. I am NOT one of those kids who wants to have a job! There is no part in my body that wants to work. Maybe I would love it after I started because I love working with people. The main reason the thought stresses me out is because I’m so easily confused and I hate not having a handle on things. I guess I should get over that.

Life is going pretty awesome, I’m so excited for all of the upcoming holidays and time with my family! I’ll really try to post me life story to blog world more often. haha

p.s. If you have any jobs for me let me know! Personal assistant, cleaner, friend for a day, car washer, ANYTHING. haha

I met Nick Jonas!

Yes, me and my sister met Nick Jonas!  It was awesome.. I can’t believe I haven’t blogged about this yet!  Here’s the story..  Tuesday (the day of the JB concert) morning/afternoon I was downtown with my sister and parents looking at a car.  All the while we were making jokes about seeing the Jonas Brothers because we knew they were in town.  Molly got a tweet from one of the band members that said “Breakfast anyone?”.  We wondered if that meant they were eating breakfast somewhere.  We were right by the Pancake Pantry and knew the boys had been there before.. So we thought we would go get some food there.  In the parking lot we saw a black SUV with dark windows and a driver and knew something was up.  As we walked into the small/very open restaurant my moms friend who had just finished eating alone ran up to us saying oh my gosh… My mom said are they here!? She was just like how did you know!? As I looked across the room I saw Nick Jonas, his dad, two band members we love, and some friends.  I was just trying to keep my cool.  We then walked to our table two tables away from Nick!  Needless to say I didn’t eat much of my pancakes.  I really didn’t want to bother him but knew I’d regret it if I did nothing.  My moms friend told my mom just to walk over and ask Nick’s dad (Kevin Sr.) and ask if we could take a picture with Nick after they ate.  As my AWESOME mom did the body guard sitting at a table next to them very nicely kept her away from the table.  Haha my mom told him how much we loved the boys and asked if we could sneek out back and take a picture.  He said that was very possible.  As my mom paid for the check the guard went over to her and said to go wait out back, don’t tell anyone and Nick could talk to us for a minute.  So we went out back and waited for awhile talking to the driver.  That’s when Nick walked out!  He was just like “Hey you guys” and opened up his arms.  We went over and shook his hand and intoduced ourselves. Then we took the picture.  My mom brought up the shirts I gave them and I reminded him of them.  He said, “Yeah I think I got those.” He asked if we were going to the concert and everything.. he was super sweet.  My mom also talked to his dad for awhile. And his dad was super nice too and was just telling us thank you and nice to meet you and blah blah. But my mom talked to him about how much she was thankful for the way they were raising the boys blaahhh.

The concert was really good! Me and my sister had a blast as usual.  It’s just so weird now.  Now that we’ve met Nick and seen them so many times… you just feel stupid screaming like crazy at them.  haha I mean they just feel very normal now. Which is awesome but it’s like.. now I’m just ready to be friends with them. hah I feel so dumb being a screaming teenage girl in the crowd. Whatever it’s cool. :P

A few friends have been talking about how lucky I am.  I wouldn’t call it luck… more of like a God is awesome and answers even dumb prayers type of thing.  Haha thank you Lord!

Ohh yeah!  Jared is now in the U.S. I’m so glad he’s back.  It really didn’t feel like he was gone for long but at the same time parts of the Summer feel like forever ago.  My brother is so funny.. I’ve missed that like crazy.  It’s so good to have Jared and his goofy guy friends around again.  I’ve missed laughing at them. haha

I’m looking for a car!  It’s going well I guess.  I still don’t have my license but we think it’s smart to learn how to drive my car for the test.  I really don’t want to drive a huge SUV for it.  But I am 16 and have been for a very long time.. haha August 4th was the day I’ve had my pemit for 6 months so I could get my license but I still ask DUMB questions while I’m driving so me and my parents don’t think I’m ready. hah

While my brother was gone he asked my dad to sell his first car so he could get something better for college.  Jared has graduation money to help with it too. When Jared got home from Brazil he had another idea about how he wanted to spend his money.. and since he’s 18 now my parents warned him but let him make the choice… he bought a freaking crotch rocket!  I think it was a dumb choice he’ll regret but hey.. its actually really cool!  So I’m happy for him.  I also told him that he would NEVER drive my car! Haha there will be a day when my older brother asks me for a ride somewhere.

Homeschooling is really weird.  Everything still hasn’t started full gear but it’s the weirdest feeling not being at LCA. I miss my friends really bad. Really really bad.

Today the Hannah Montana movie came out on DVD! I can’t wait to go buy it and watch myself! haha It’s like my dream come true to even be in the background of like a real movie! Even though it’s not some Oscar winner it’s cool to be in a film with the Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus theme.  That’s something everyone will remember was huge when I was a teenager and I’ll look back on.  It’s so exciting to me.

Also, ONE WEEK from today me and my sister Molly will be at another Jonas Brothers concert.  It’s gonna be huge. I’m so stoked.  I still consider myself a HUGE fan of theirs but I’m not obsessed anymore.  It’s very nice.  Haha no more day dreaming about something that will never happen.  Well I mean… unless God wanted it to… please?

Sewing?

So… (haha sew;) since I’m homeschooling this year for awhile I’m trying to think of ways to stay busy so I don’t just stay in the house and watch movies all day.  I’m doing voice but that’s just once a week.  I’m thinking I’ll also probably do some community theater.  But I’ve been thinking.. I REALLY want to learn how to sew! I think me and my mom are going to take some classes together! haha. I LOVE creating things and I always have cool stuff in my mind that I would love to sew.  The only problem is.. I can’t use a sewing machine and I don’t really know how.  I’m really wanting to do this and I’m pretty excited:):) I’ll be just like the girl in the picture! Without the awkward shaped hand..

Miley Cyrus

So tonight I watched the Teen Choice Awards… Miley Cyrus did an interesting performance.  I’m not one of those people who is just shocked at everything she’s doing and I’m not just freaking out about it.  She’s trying to do the sexy and hot thing like crazy.. I mean, she knows how to get teenagers to buy her albums.  As far as the pictures she takes of herself.. they are no different than most other teenage girls.. hers are just all over the internet.  But back to the awards show… she received a lot of fan picked awards so instead of just getting them one by one she said a big thank you after her performance.  After she thanked some people and the fans she then thanks her God and Father and points to the sky.  That’s where she makes me just a tad upset.  I hate that she puts teenage pole dancing and Christ in the same situation!  Compared to other people her performance really wasn’t that bad.. but I would have been embarassed to talk about God in that outfit. haha.  I’ve never been a famous teenager and I’m sure it’s VERY hard.  I know Christians mess up and that’s fine.  But the fact that she as no regrets about the pictures that get out of herself and than talks about loving Jesus makes me mad.  (I’m also not talking about the magazine pictures.. I didn’t think that was a big deal, I mean the ones she takes of herself) I’m not some Miley Cyrus hater but I wish so badly she wouldn’t talk about Christ so much and than do something stupid without a care. Hot or cold.  I’m really not just trying to judge the girl but as a teenage girl trying to live for Christ I hate that she says she is and then does such silly things.  Does that make sense?

First of all I should say.. I know I have an amazing life and I’m very blessed in many ways but life right now is just so… uhg.  I’m just so bored with everything! I don’t feel like anything “clicks” anymore and I’m not passionate about like anything.  I’m just depressing myself.  I’m so afraid to homeschool again but I think I want to??  I’m just a fun loving girl but nothing exciting is going on and if it was I probably wouldn’t care.  I just want to be super passionate for something and be living life to the fullest.  I just want to move or something??  I’m really having a struggle with being bitter about everything… and I’m not really sure I care.  There’s so many things that I don’t feel open to discussing on the internet. hah.  I know that I have an awesome life but I’m just so bored and want to be doing something.

I used to be SO SO optimistic.. I mean like crazy! And I hate the way I am right now.

My brother gets home in less than two weeks and I can’t wait!  He always makes me realize when I’m over reacting and makes me feel so much better.

I’ve been stressing like crazy over what I’m going to do for school this upcoming year.  My school is going to be very different this year.. alot of the students are leaving and the good teachers left. That’s kind of a big deal at such a small school. I’ve decided it’s either going to be Lancaster or homeschooling. I really don’t want to deal with my dumb teachers again but I wasn’t sure if I could leave goofing off with my friends everyday. It’s been very very hard to make a choice. I’ve been praying about it alot. As if right now I’m thinking I’m going to try homeschooling until January and see how it goes. If I do homeschool for sure it’s only because my parents will let me go back to school the second I want to if I hate it. I’ll have a car soon so it will be easier to stay close to all of my friends and stay busy. It makes me a tad sick to my stomach to think about such a big change. But if I want to go back I can for sure and the 2nd part of the year is always best anyways.

Please continue to pray for my brother as he serves in Brazil.  He will be home in about a month.

So today I went to lunch in Brentwood with my parents and my dad’s assistant Jennie… We ate at a wonderful place called the Puffy Muffin. I’m sitting there eating when I notice a very familiar face sitting two tables away. I said to my mom, “I think that’s that country singer Luke Bryan who sings that song I love so much!”. Jennie got out her phone and looked him up. Sure enough there was a picture of him!

I have a tad bit of a crush on this man and his video for Country Man is what got me hooked on watching CMT and GAC music videos non-stop.

It was really exciting to see him so close but I didn’t want to bother him while he was eating  so I didn’t say anything. After he left we were making jokes about taking his straw… my wonderful mother got up from the table and took his straw for me! Haha it’s been a very, very good day!

Here’s me and Jennie with the straw…

Country Man is like my favorite video and seeing Luke Bryan today put a big ol’ smile on my face :D

Monday was the visitation for Gabe. I went with my parents and several friends. It was so sad. It killed me to watch Gabe’s parents and all of my friends hurt so bad. After a line that took about 3 hours to get through my parents prayed with Gabe’s dad (his mom had to walk out) His dad was crying and said that he wants the glory of God and if he has to hurt for it he’s willing. His dad also told me he was sorry Gabe always asked me for money but his dad was tight. haha. It was hard seeing the body. It didn’t look like Gabe. But I know it wasn’t Gabe. It was a really hard night.

The funeral was extremely sad but it was the best funeral I’ve ever been to. First Caleb spoke.. Caleb was Gabe’s best friend and was driving in the accident. Caleb said that a week before the accident him and Gabe were driving down the same road the wreck was on listening to the song Live Like You Were Dying. He said that Gabe was telling him life sucks.. but that if God came back today he would be happy to go. And that he hoped nobody would hurt if something ever happened to him. He also talked about all of the basketball players saying “We ride together, we die together” Caleb said that if he had it his way he would be right next to Gabe but he knew God had another plan for him. It was so sad when Caleb spoke me and my friends were crying like crazy. Another AMAZING thing about Gabe’s funeral was that his Dad led it! Gabe’s dad also led his own dad’s funeral just 3 months ago. He made sure that everyone knew he could only do the funeral with God’s strength and not from his own. Chris talked about how awesome Gabe was and some amazing things he did. He also talked about Gabe’s salvation and he shared the gospel more then talk about how great of a son he had. It was the coolest thing ever. It was so awesome I can’t even describe it. Chris said that he had never done this at a funeral but wanted to do an invitation. A lot of people went forward and it was amazing. God spoke through Gabe’s dad more than you can imagine. Seeing a father over his teenage son (who he was extremely close to) sharing the gospel with such passion was so amazing and showed the power of Christ so strongly. Gabe was such a good kid and the funeral was a great way to remember him.

After the funeral we went to the cemetery. The family left after somebody spoke for a minute because they couldn’t see him be buried. All of the friends stayed and it was VERY hot outside. After awhile Mr. Lancaster thought he would pray to finish it out. My friend Bethany had said I need to stand under the tent because I’m so hot. As Mr. Lancaster was praying Bethany feel on me and then mumbled sorry.. she kept hitting my back. I turned around and Bethany feel right back on to the ground!! The girl totally blacked out from the hot sun (she hadn’t eaten) I would like to say that I was a great friend and toke charge but as my unconscious friend was lying on the ground I just said.. Ahh. I don’t know what to do!? Lucky for me, Hank’s mom helped out. haha. We ended up sitting in a strangers car for the AC and then we took Bethnay to eat after my mom’s car was unblocked. We ended up laughing about the whole thing.

Anyways, Gabe Brewer was so super awesome and I hate the feeling that he’s not around anymore. Please pray for his family! And pray for all of his friends that are going through such a hard time right now.

RIP Gabe
