Get in the Christmas Spirit

For awhile now I haven't felt a true Christmas Spirit. You know the anticipation, the extreme decorations, the pure joy of it all. It started last year when I didn't even know what day of the month we were on until Christmas Eve and then Christmas was gone. Sure I got presents, saw my family, and had a great dinner but that was it.

This year I'm having some of the same problems, but I want to celebrate Christmas for the gift it is. Even though Christmas was never originally about Jesus, its still the fact that He came down from His throne to save us sorry suckers. And its about family, one day of the year when all of the family drama is in one place but we try to ignore it and have a fantastic time. And its about the food, the amazing food that lasts till the 31st.

So if you're having some of the same problems as me or even if you're not, put on some Christmas music, watch A Charlie Brown Christmas, make some hot chocolate, and go be with your family.

Happy Holiday and keep it Typical TeenAge

Day 2 of Fantasyland Adventure

Since I went to bed at like 1am yesterday after waking up at 3am to get here, waking up at 7am was not pleasant. But the fun continues. We went back to Magic Kingdom for the official ribbon cutting for the New Fantasyland.

Now guess who cut the ribbon? Ginnifer Goodwin, Snow White, from Once Upon a Time, now how fitting is that. I nearly lost my mind, and standing right next to her, Jordin Sparks. Mindblown, of course Micky was there dressed in his royal best along with the chairman of Disney whose name I don't know, and don't really care about.

So after the ribbon cutting we moved to Cinderella castle. Ginnifer Goodwin introduced Jordin Sparks and we got front row seats to a Holiday Concert with singing and dancing and all your favorite princesses and princes, except Merida, but that may be because she is to young and doesn't have a prince.

On to fantasyland we went, after eating a much needed breakfast. And after we went to Space Mountain of course.

Now on to Fantasyland. We rode the famous tea cups, the new Dumbo the Flying Elephant and The Barnstormer.

  

Now let me tell you about the Barnstormer. From Dumbo you can see the roller coaster, so I get excited and want to ride. Since we have media clearance we get to go through the fast pass line, but we still have a little wait, no big deal.

Now we are in our seats going up the long climb then we come down, go around and the ride is over. The funny part is the kids in front of us are all "that was awesome" and my brother is all "can we go again" and I'm like "seriously?!?!" So for kids twelve and under best ride ever for others not so much, but it was still cute.

Finally we got a sneak peak of the Be Our Guest Restaurant. Sadly it was not open for eating, only tours. And it was beautiful exactly like the Beast's castle with stained glass window with different parts of Belle's and the Beast's story.

Day 1 of Fantasyland Adventure

We arrived at about 2:30 and guess what? We got the Lion King room and it is awesome I will show you some pictures later. Also Mufasa is over looking my room Lol.

So the New Fantasyland is quite colorful and kid friendly. We got to see the Storybook Circus where we ate.

And let me tell you what we ate. Braised beef that fell of my fork, herb buttered mash potatoes, some pretty cool green beans, and real ratatouille. It was perfect, no lie.

After we ate we wandered around and saw that statue of Gaston, the Be Our Guest Restaurant, and Arial's two new rides. We went through Enchanted tales with Belle, a cute interactive show for the younger, but still enjoyable.

We also went on Under the Sea- Journey of The Little Mermaid. You ride through the story of Ariel in a giant clam and sing along.

Since it was dark I didn't see too much, but from what I could tell there are still attractions being built, and I can't wait to see them.

Keep it Typical TeenAge.

I'm going to the new Fantasyland Disney Park

Because my mom is awesome we get to go to the grand opening of New Fantasyland at Disney World. We leave tomorrow. I truly can't wait we get to stay in the new resort they built, I'm hoping we get a Finding Nemo room or a Lion King room.

The park is supposed to have Belle's village and the Little Mermaid's castle. There's gonna be so much to see and I can't wait. I will be taking my phone and my Ipad so I will try to write a post everyday if I can remember.

Keep it Typical TeenAge.

Note: Due to technical difficulties these posts are a week old.

I Went to Snow Mountain

I went to Snow Mountain, I went to Snow Mountain. Super fun, was not as cold as I thought it would be, and a little bit of a workout. My brother my mom and I went down the tube runners 3 time each. Lol no matter how hard you try you cannot steer that tube. Then we went on Avalanche Alley, now that was the real attraction. Higher than the tube runners and much faster. You are in a blue tube that can fit five and then you go over the edge....... To the adrenaline junky I suggest going down backwards.  

After maybe 2 hours of tubing we went to the Forever Christmas show at the Magnolia Theater, witch was incredibly annoying to find (my feet were hurting). But anyway it was a pretty good show singing and dancing and rapping, I was not prepared for that last one. And as a treat for the kids there is a sort of puppet show if you like that sort of thing.

I also recommend the Polar Express experience in 4D. A loud and a little wet at times 20 minute sum up of the movie. There was a pitiful parade a 6 but it had bubbles so...

After that we decorated cookies in the Memorial Hall, well I decorated a cookie and it turned out pretty well if I do say so my self. And for dinner we had fried chicken, corn on the cob, rolls, beans, and funnel cake, and washed it down with a cherry frosty.

It was a good day and I hope you get to enjoy one like it. Keep it Typical TeenAge.

UP

Just watched UP again on abc. You gotta love Pixar cartoons. Its such a wonderful story about an old man fighting for a promise he made to his wife while they were young. And now that she is gone it seems more important than ever to honor that promise. Mr. Fredrickson along with Russell a cub scout end up in South America with Doug the talking dog and Kevin the mother of three bright feathered birds. A story that takes you on a journey with houmor and love and chocolate.

Never let the adventure end. Keep it Typical TeenAge

Left- Handed Man in the Bible

Just wanted to share this because I'm a leftie
Ehud son of Gera the Benjaminaite was sent to the King of Moab with a two edged sword attached to his hip. At that time the Isrealites weren't doing what they were they were supposed to so the Lord let them be conqured. The Israelites cried out to God and He heard them. Ehud a left-handed man went to the King of Moab a fat King so I've read, and assasinated him lie a boss. Not that killing is right or anything.
I just wanted to share that for all the lefties out there including me. LOL

Rise of the Guardians... Best Holiday Movie Ever

So I got to see a screening of Rise of the Guardians and let me tell you it was so awesome, my mind was blown. So a boy finds himself on a frozen lake and all he knows is his name, Jack Frost, and the only reason he knows that is because the moon told him so. After 300 years of being invisible and not knowing who he is or where he came from, this mischevious boy who can cause blizzards and snow days for children is recruited to be a guardian along side the Easter Bunny (Hugh Jackman), Santa Cluase(Alec Baldwin), the Tooth Fairy (Isla Fisher), and the Sandman. A guardian's job is to protect the children of the world, nauty or nice. But Jack isn't sure he is up to the job until he finds out that he had a life before he became Jack Frost, a life that he can find out about if he can help the guardians defeat Pitch the Boogie Man(Jude Law).

So let me just say that the Sandman, even though he never said a word, was the most beast character ever and yes I mean beast not best. And Hugh Jackman as Bunny was beautiful, I am now in love with the Easter Bunny. This movie will become a holiday classic and will be added to abc family's countdown 25 days to christmas........ in about 4 or 5 years, but it will be there or they will be getting a strongly worded letter from me.

This movie was amazing, talking about believing in yourself, your inner child, your faith whatever it may be. I give this movie 5 stars it was extraordinary. I hope you see it.

Women's Retreat

Yesterday I returned from a women's retreat I went to with my church at Cohutta Springs. The theme was the cozy mountain lodge witch was fitting since we were in the mountains. Every thing was so beautiful and amazing, God's hand truly at work. The retreat was focused around the story of Ruth. Not just her leaving her people to end up marrying a rich man, but how hard it must have been to live in a place where you were not welcome and the amazing thirst she must have had for Christ after seeing Him in Naomi. We talked about being purged, being guided, being strengthened, and being transformed. It was an experience I needed. I have an issue with forgiveness and I know I can't ask God to forgive me if I am not willing  to forgive others. Its hard, but every time I think about it I must forgive again and again and again until I can let go and so that I can get His peace. And that's what I have asked Him for, for His peace and His love to fill me.

Trying Again

Hi guys I'm back and I'm trying this blogging thing again. I still want this blog to be about teenage opinions and views but I would also like to cronical my journey closer to Jesus, closer to fame, and closer to culinary perfection (I'm baking now lol).

I realize that I have been baptized and I have given my life to the Lord, but not whole heartedly. He needs and deserves more from me and I need more of Him. I want us to tight, the best of friends, my Father. That's what I need from Him and He needs my heart, mind and soul. But its more than that, I want to be able to truly love Him above all else.

I still want to be famous. I want to be an actress, a great
actress. I would just to like to say shout-out to Jenifer Lawrence, you go girl she hasn't been out of theaters for more than 4 months at a time since Hunger Games. That's what I want to be in demand as a great actress and to work with amazing people and see amazing things and inspire on the big screen. And God help me I will.


I baked an apple pie (my personal favorite) a little while ago.   Looks great right, tastes like sweet applesauce in buttery crust. Needless to say I will have to try again. But yesterday I made chocolate chip cookies, not from a box but from scratch. And they were pretty amazing if I do say so my self.

Anyways as always comment please. And have a Typical TeenAge day.

Step Up Revolution

Step Up Revolution was AMAZING. I mean it was AMAZING. You would think that after 3 movies it would be over done but its not. Just like dance it is ever changing and evolving. The music was on point, the acting mediocre, and the dancing was top notch. Since they always use real dancers in the movies I don't expect to much in the acting department but the dancing is always to die for.

They brought back one of my favorite dancers "Twitch" from the third movie which made me extremely happy. Also the storyline was pretty good as well. A story of friendship and community and romance. And there was all types of dancing, modern, hip hop, stunts, and robotics.

And of course they brought back everybody's favorite dancer, "Mouse" and some of the others from the old crew. All in all I give it three and a half stars out of five. And please if you haven't seen the other movies don't be that person in the theater who keeps asking questions like: who's that? and where did he come from?

Anyways please go watch the movie it was AMAZING.
