Hey there everyone,
so it's really summer. It's finally sinking in. I suggest all of you go and listen to "Summertime" by Kenny Chesney, for your supreme enjoyment. :)
Anyways, I went to a job interview for In 'N' Out this morning, and I think it went fantastically. We'll see what they thought of me. I am ashamed to say that I've mostly been a lazy bum, and haven't done a lot of productive or constructive things thus far. I am determined to do several things this summer including:
~get a real tan (mostly for the poor people I blind every time they see my white legs :P)
~learn how to cook
~finish writing my novel
~work on my guitar-playing skills
etc. :)
Love you peoples,
Moi

more about arts camp!
Hey y'all,
you can tell that I was in Texas this past week ;) So, I want to tell everyone about arts camp.
As I said before, it was mainly and intensely a dance camp, which I didn't know before I arrived.
Altogether, each group learned the same three dances in a week, and then we performed them for ministry that weekend. On Friday, we went to Dallas. There were two places my group went that evening, to a neighborhood with a lot of Hispanic immigrants. It was fun to dance for the kids there, but more than anything I loved playing with them. I got to hold little girls that hadn't gotten a lot of love assuming from how much they soaked it up, and hold the rope for them to jump. I felt like God was really reaching people through us. The next place we went was more inside of the city, called "West End", and there was such a feeling of darkness and oppression over that place. My group and I danced on the street corner, and then prayed with some people afterwards, but there didn't seem to be that much response. I went back on the bus feeling kind of depressed, but that emotion melted like ice cream once all the groups were back together and we started worshipping. It was a really good time. That was the overnight trip on Friday.
Then, on Saturday, we went to a WATERPARK for ministry. It was a lot of work to dance in black shirts and jeans in the hot sun, but we got to swim afterwards so it was totally worth it. I got totally sunburned on my face and neck. And I totally sound like a valley girl :P
On Sunday we performed at a mall, and that was really fun. Then it was suddenly Sunday night and everyone was saying goodbye. It's an amazing group of people, and it was a little sad to leave, but I was glad that I was going back home.
Blessings,
Me

Camp in Texas: Insane but Exhilarating :)
Hey y'all, :)
I am in Texas for a week of arts camp, and it is basically incredibly tiring but amazing as well.
Dancing every day, hardcore. :)
more later,

wow it's been forever. :)
okay so...I can't believe it's been this long since I posted about my life!
so much has happened.
let me see if I can catch you guys up. ;)
since August 2007, I have done a lot more than sit on my hands.
In August 2007, I started my first and last year of public high school. It was a lot of transition, but definitely a good challenge and helped me grow in my faith. In the first two months of hip hop, I had two pairs of shoes stolen because I didn't put a lock on my locker. That was a major reality check, and it also made me pretty upset. I put a lock on it. :)
I turned seventeen on October 22nd, at which time I made some solid resolutions, which crumbled by Thanksgiving.
In December 2007, the entire Hervey clan was present for Christmas in California, including my two big brothers (in-law, but we're close). That was amazing.
In January 2008, nothing really amazing happened.
In February 2008, I got back in touch with James, a good friend and someone I'd had a huge crush on for a while. I hadn't talked to him in three years.
In March 2008, I was struggling with Math a lot, and worrying if I was going to pass that stupid (sorry, math lovers) Algebra II.
In April 2008, on the twelfth, James asked me to be his girlfriend. This was interesting and amazing both, considering that it was over skype (IM) and that he lives in Connecticut. However, it's been the greatest adventure for me. I miss him and am planning to visit him this September.
In May 2008, I went to my senior Prom, and it was great, but I was wishing I could dance with James. Then on the 22nd of May, I graduated from high school! :) THAT was an awesome day.
And now it's June. I am off to a week of arts camp with Arts With a Misson, full of amazing times. I'm so excited. I'll write about it when I come back, or I might possibly have computer access this week :)
Love from Arizona,
Me
