Two-in-One!

Okay, so now you might be thinking..... what 2-in-1?? Well, I am going to answer that question right now. Right here. Right at this moment. Right..........now. 2-in-1 === 2 days-in-1 post!! Since yesterday was my Dad's ____th birthday(!!) and today is Thanksgiving Day, I decided to put them both in one post. So, 1) Happy Birthday Dad! and 2) Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!

I am thankful for so many things, but most of all I am thankful for the One True God! He is the One I give praise to! Give thanks to the Lord, Our God and King. His love endures forever!

Every year for thanksgiving, we go to a large family party in Hawaii Kai. We swim in a pool, eat until we're tired(the Polynesian way :) ), and have fun together.

What do you do for Thanksgiving?

Although, Thanksgiving is widely considered an American holiday, it is also celebrated on the second Monday in October in Canada.

This Is My Birthday Song, It Isn't Very Long. Hey! :D

In a couple of hours, I will be __!!!!!!! I am so happy! In our family, your birthday means one week of NO chores and no school. I still have school(Hawaiian History), but only because my Mom is the teacher and class is held at our house. :) After class, though, we are going to be having a PARTY!!! We'll play board games, eat popcorn and drink hot cocoa, maybe watch a movie, go the park, and just have FUN!

I am very thankful for my parents who brought me into this beautiful world and love me. They have taught me so much on how to love God and to follow in His footsteps and I am grateful to have them as my Father and Mother. I am thankful for my brothers, who, yes may be crazy, but I love them all the same. They are my walking joke book, my 24/7 theatre production, my confidants, my loving, silly brothers. :) Thank you Lord for choosing my family to be MY family!

I am thankful for my friends, who are my non-blood family. They encourage me, bring me out of my shell, and teach me how to be a "sister." They are my role models on how to treat my family right (as well as to my friends). I love how God brings people that are so different close together :) Thank you Lord for bringing godly friends into my life!

Most of all I am thankful for God who created me (Psalm 139:13)and knows me (Jeremiah 1:5). Who died for me (John 3:16) and watches over me (Psalm 121:5). Who loves me (John 3:16) and sings over me (Zephaniah 3:17). 

Sing praises to the L-RD, for He is worthy of our praise! Thank you Lord for giving me life and for keeping me safe all these years. You are my Father and I look to You in all things! Shout to the Lord! All the earth let us sing. Power and majesty. praise to our King! Mountains bow down and the seas will roar at the sound of Your name! I sing for joy at the works of Your hands. Forever I'll love you, Forever I'll stand. Nothing compares to the promise I have in You!!!! Love, Your daughter <3

Lemon Angel Food Cake

       For a little less than a year, I have been having this yearning to bake new things. So, I started my journey and made a lemon angel food cake. It was pretty exciting and interesting at the same time. Interesting, because I (or Mom) have never made an angel food cake.

       

       Of course, Mom knew the fundamental baking skills to make it (being the AWESOME baker that she is ) . But, I, (wanting to try something new on my own) wanted to be a *big girl baker* and make it by myself. :-) Let me just say that Mom had to come in the kitchen and help me with a lot of it! Now I know how to make an angel food cake! Yay, one step closer in my baking adventure!

   
 If you want to make this delectable desert, here is the website I used to make this cake: http://www.motherthyme.com/2012/05/lemon-angel-food-cake.html

   For this semester, Thing #1, Thing #3 and I are taking a Mandarin Chinese class. Today was our first class, and we learned the numbers one through ten. It was pretty cool learning another language! I already know some Hebrew, and have grown to LOVE learning foreign languages!! I hope I do well... :) Zai jian! (Goodbye!)

Chocolate AND Gluten free. Who Doesn't Want To Try It? :)

       Due to my health reasons, about two weeks ago, my mom and I have decided to go gluten-free (with a few exceptions ;). I made this 5- minute gluten free hot chocolate cake today and it was delicious!!!

If you want to make this yummy desert, go to Carol Kicinski's blog- Simply Gluten Free.

Cold, cold, cold, cold, cold.....

       I have watched the new Disney movie, Frozen, two times(!!) and I can totally relate. We live in a warm, sunny area and suddenly it gets FREEZING. Unlike the movie, though, it does not snow here. :(

       Although the normal temperatures here are the low 70s-mid 80s, this morning at 7:30 it was... 52 DEGREES !!!!! I am still getting over that. Right now, I am writing this wrapped up in layers of clothes, layers of socks, and layers of blankets. That probably sounded pretty lame since I know that there are places with an average temperature of below zero. How do you do it?? I guess I'm not very prepared for cold weather. ;)

       So, on to something warmer. Since Dad came back (yippee) in the middle of school year and we took off a couple of days to be with him, we are behind in school. Well, not in all of our school....... just history and literature. Our math and science are right on schedule!! :) 

      I still can't believe how time flies by...... Thing 1 is going to be a senior, I am going to be a sophomore, and Thing 3 is going to be a freshman.. We are ALL going to be in high school. Sometimes, I just sit back and go "Woah..........."

Wow, every year (like now), I still cannot believe that a year has gone by. I am so thankful that God has granted me a great past year and a fresh, new one. I am excited for the opportunities, challenges, and experiences coming for me this year, in 2014. It is going to be hard to put ____/_____/ 2014 on all of my school stuffs :) . Happy New Year and God bless!!
