My Friend...Bella

Over the years, I have collected many friends (Wow, that sounded vain!) and one of my good friends is Bella! We have been friends since I was five! We met at a Keepers At Home Meeting and hit it off! We both love dance and to bead, and we LOVE to talk! She loves helping to care for their foster baby, Alanna (See final picture), and is passionate about worship dance! Take a look at my fabulous friend, Bella! Who is this masked girl? Why, it's Bella!


Ooh, best dance EVER! Operator by Manhattan Transfer (She did amazing, as usual!)She was proclaiming the shout of El Shaddai!In this picture, Bella was an angel (in the dance too!) I Love You Like A Sister!

Sue Thomas FBEYE short story part 6

Whoa, so sorry for anyone who was looking forward to this... I got a little sidetracked with other posts! But, to refresh your memory from over a MONTH ago (yikes!), here is the last little bit from part 5: (also, I originally paired Allie with David, but since I wrote a short story where he was the bad guy, it just didn't feel right to me! Gabrielle, you know why! I may post that story to, but for now just take what ya get! LOL)



"What the..." Bobby's sentence trailed off. Tara's laptop had a blue screen and was flashing random numbers. Finally, it shut down with a plink! and Tara's head dropped on Bobby's shoulder. Bobby jumped up as D strolled into the bullpen. "D, Tara's computer has a virus. I think it may have something to do with Arif Dessa."



PART 6:


The doorbell rang and Sue opened it to find Stanley. "Stanley! Hi! Nice to see you again!" She said. She welcomed him in and called to the children, "Wes! Judy! Come and greet our guest!" The kids came running and slid to a stop. "Nice to meet you," Wes said, shaking his hand solemly. Judy, the ever irrepressible, asked him, "Whatdya bring me?" Sue gasped. "Please tell me I didn't read that right!" Stanley laughed and pulled a lollipop out of his pocket. She squealed and went off to bounce on her bed, delighting in her newfound friend. "You know that practically means you're engaged, right?" Jack laughed, coming downstairs. He and Stanley shook hands just as the doorbell rang. Sue's eyes twinkled and Jack shook his head. She opened the door and greeted Allie. "Allie! Hi, just in time! Dinner is just about ready. Oh, Stanley, this is Allie. I completely forgot that we were gonna have dinner with Allie. I hope we have enough. Jack dear, come help me set the table," Sue said, pulling Jack into the kitchen.

He raised an eyebrow at her and she chuckled. "What?" She asked with exagerated innocence. He kissed her on the forehead and walked to the dining room, whistling. "Nothing honey." At that moment, Stanley and Allie walked in, talking a mile a minute. "So you like the book Computer Diagnostics For Nerds? That's my favorite book!" Allie exclaimed. Whenever Tara was unavailable, Sue always called Allie when she had a computer question. "Really? Have you read the chapter on defragging a faulty harddrive? Whoever wrote that chapter should be uplifted by the computer gods," Stanley exclaimed, accidentally flipping his plate in the air and spilling the entire plate of chicken stirfry onto the floor. Levi instantly ran over, but sniffed disdainfully at the veggies. Wes & Judy giggled as Allie covered her smile with a cough. Jack almost doubled over with sustained laughter as Sue helped poor Stanley. "Note to self: computer talk and stirfry don't mix," Stanley managed to laugh at himself, despite the circumstances. Sue breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe the plan would work out after all...

Ok, tell me if I should continue! Also, should I bring back Jonathan?

PART 7 COMING SOON!

Sunday: SPRING SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man, this was awesome! My costumes were really pretty & I got sooooo many flowers! (Not to brag or anything) Unfourtunately, I was backstage the entire time, so I couldn't see Anna, but once we get the DVD, I will!

I also have a ton of other things to post, but here are the categories to look forward to:
  • The Left Behind series (I'm currently on Assasins, book #6)
  • Starting a series of posts about my friends! The first 3 will be Bella, Autumn, and Morgan.

A Movie Review

Sorry I haven't posted since monday! There is a reason for that, well, four actually...


  1. I had a monster migraine on tuesday that not only prevented me from seeing The Last Song (WHAAAAAAAAAA!) but it prevented me from blogging about said movie... :(

  2. I, um, kinda, uh, got grounded off of the computer/phone because, uh, I had a lil attitude... sorry mom! But I'm fine now :-)

  3. I had my last dance class on tuesday and this week is rehearsals! YAY! We shall be busy!

  4. And lastly, yesterday (I was just allowed on the computer again and...) it rained ALOT and our electricity was out for 7 hours! From 4:30-11:45 PM!


Anyways, thanks for all the comments! It means soooo much to me! Here is the review:

We saw this movie for the first time a few days ago and LOVED IT! Meghan and I laughed so hard at a few parts and I teared up at a part too! The basic synopsis is that Tiana is a hard worker who dreams of owning her own restaurant. Her best friend, Charlotte LeBouf, is daddy's little princess who throws around money like it's mardi gras confetti. However, she truly loves Tiana like a sister (Tiana's mom is her seamstress) and is happy to help her in any way she can. Tiana works two jobs to scrimp and save for her riverside restaurant. But when the owners say that she must have the money in four days, she tries to wish on a star and ends up kissing a frog. But is it just a frog? Oh no... you see Prince Naveen (The object of Charlotte's affection) was bamboozled by the charlatan of New Orleans, Dr. Faciellier. And the rest, you'll have to see for yourself!

Scary Moments:

The voodoo was a wee bit overboard, even for a disney villain... the shadow man (the doctor) uses voodoo dolls stuck with pins and there is a scary sequence where the prince is being transformed. We also skip a small part of voodoo magic that is just too freaky for our littles :)

Inapropriate Content:

A girl adjusts her bosom through her dress (In a humorous way, it flies right over our littles' heads), A lightning bug makes a reference to his grandma bug flashing the neighbors (again, over their heads).

Other Content:

(SPOILER ALERT!SPOILER ALERT!)

A beloved character dies at the end, tragically squished. The funeral is very sad, but is followed by a happy wedding. The shadow man is dragged down to what we assume is hell by his so called, "Friends from the other side,"

Conclusion:

Cute movie, in lovely 2-d animation, hand drawn movies are an art and this has just perfected it. My personal favorite part is any part with Lotte :) Love her! She is Disney's best supporting character by far!
