Beautiful Day
|
So, here's the rundown of my day: 5:00 am : Jump out of bed - literally! I've never gotten out of bed quite so alert as this morning. Drank some coffee and slipped on my workout clothes and tennis shoes. Got on the computer for a while and just laze about while I sip coffee! 6:30: Workout 8:00: Devotions & School 12:00: Lunch break - finished school just in time! :D 1:30: Bake a pan of brownies for the family (and I can't eat them!) and have another cup of coffee. 2:00: I normally start work around this time, for my dad, but he's taking a nap because he just got back from a long out-of-town trip so I start music practice instead. I practice harmonies, singing, learned some really cool guitar picking, and reviewed some things on the keyboard. 6:00: Supper time, but I'm not eating. "No food after 3:00 pm" diet. But I sit with my family anyway to be with them and for the break. Then I clean the kitchen. 8:00 -- NOW I start working for my dad! I'm cleaning out all his junk in his work closet and I worked on that for two hours tonight. 10:00 -- Right now. I'm writing this cause I'm just in the mood! Now I'm going to read a chapter in a book I'm reading called "Million Dollar Habits" and hit the pillow! Nighty night :) Olivia |

Gum chewing issues
|
I have begun a Bible study with a friend of mine named Heather. We had our first study on Thursday. The book is called "Behind those Eyes" and is about being the real you, allowing God to mold you so that you no long hide behind the mask. We read two chapters, then met and discussed the questions in the study guide. We talked for two solid hours. I'm very excited to see where this goes! Now on to my gum chewing... A few months ago, I had my first piece of gum in probably a year. Ah. What bliss after such a long wait! Not sure why I wait or what I was waiting for but either way, the fact was, I hadn't had gum in a very long time! So there I sat (or stood, I honestly can't remember) chewing my gum and suddenly came to realize I was chewing far too loudly (Mainly because my mom said "Olivia, stop chewing your gum so loudly") So I did! Thinking all was well and this problem would not arise again. BUT ALAS!!! Every time I have chewed my gum so far I have had to be reminded - repeatedly, might I add - that I was chewing so loudly, surely even those living in Idaho could hear. Just two weeks ago, my mom dropped me off at teen group, and desperately, while quietly chewing my gum I said, "Mom, who will tell me to chew my gum quietly if you aren't there?" To which she replied, "Well, I guess you'll just have to be a big girl and remember yourself." Needless to say, I spit it out (yes, into a trash can) shortly after entering the church |

Typical Day
|
My Dad actually left for Vegas again yesterday. I miss him already! It's almost six o'clock (I got up at five) and I'm sitting here with a cup of coffee alone in our living room. I love being the first one up every morning and having an hour or two to myself to pray and just be. I'm working on the song "Back in Time" that I wrote for a documentary about a world war I aviator named Frank Luke. We just finished recording it and it will be coming out this Christmas. I'm so excited with my music ministry right now! I'm improving on guitar and vocals and learning keyboard now as well. I'm aiming to have a full album recorded by next year and a professional website and band! We'll see where God takes us I guess. :) Well, I'd better get my day started. School, working for my dad, and music music music!!! Woohoo!! :) Livvy oliviakay.org |

Vegas!!
|
SO my dad's in Vegas right now producing a truck show! :) Exciting! My brother is the editor for it and a friend, Kellie, is the Director of Marketing. I do some odds and ends for my dad too, but not much else. I'm cleaning the house with my mom right now cause they're getting back tomorrow. I'm reading the AWESOME book right now called "The Martha Rules" by Martha Stewart... I am not even a huge Martha Stewart fan but this book is amazing! I totally recommend it! Anyway!! Gotta go finish cleaning!! Olivia |
