new from taylor =]


So there has been a lot going on and I am not very good at keeping up with this so I will just give you the highlights
-went to the beach A LOT =]
-found an awesome youth group that has an amazing youth pastor
-mom and dad started working
there is probably a ton more but i cant really remember right now =[.
On Friday I had a sleepover with all of the little girls on the street and we had a blast. I hand delivered sparkly invitations the girls' houses on Thursday with all the details and told them to bring their favorite outfit for glamour shots =]. They all showed up around 7 or 8 and we ate and got dressed. I did hair and helped them get dressed. I then set up a sheet and we started the pictures. It was so much fun we had two girls that are in kindergarten, two in first grade, and two girls that are 10. We all had so much fun. After our glamour shots we all settled down on the couch with lots of snacks to watch, well what else but, HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL. And of course we set it to sing-a-long and just danced and sang at the top of our lungs. Did i mention we had a blast? Well we finally got them all to sleep around 12:00 and they were all awake bright and early at 7:30. wow-that's early. We ate french toast and layed around. They all went home except Jessica. Now this girl is so funny, shes easy going, beautiful, smart, easy to get along with. She stayed most of the day with me and went with me to get the pictures from the night before developed. As I was walking home that evening she looked up at me and said " I wish you were my big sister, your so awesome." I wanted to cry. Of course I'm already a big sister and I love maddie and zoe to death [and canaan sometimes ;]] but she is such a sweetheart i just hugged her and told her i loved her and that i would love to be her big sister also. So to make a long story short when i got home last night from the beach there were flowers on my doorstep with a note inside signed from all the girls =].
So the point of the story is that i have a lot of new little sisters and i LOVE where i live =]
Other than that not much else is going on. I start helping with Munchkin Missions on Thursday. Munchkin Missions is the i guess babysitting service that Teen Missions offers to the families while the parents work. I'm really excited because Beth has a lot of fun things plan and i get to work with my little girls =]

we have arrived

Free Image Hosting by FreeImageHosting.netokay so im a little late on the post but we just now got our internet hooked up. We got here around 10:30 last tuesday and the pciture above pretty much explains the last week haha. So everything is unpacked and I love where we live. It is about 15 miles from the beach (the nice one anyways) and pretty close to anything else you could imagine. The neighborhood is amazing. Almost everyone on the street works at Teen Missions so it is very safe and friendly. In the evenings the kids ride around and we usually end up sitting in someones driveway talking and "fellowshipping" its is so neat. Although there are no kids on the street close to my age i still enjoy playing with all 24(ish) other little kids. I have also come to enjoy our (kinda) neighbors The Houtons they are awesome. They have three beautiful children and i love spending time with them, in fact i think Brent is going to teach me to surf on saturday =]. Canaan, Maddie, and Zoe have plenty of friends and we all enjoy each other.

I finally got everything unpacked yesterday and am very happy to have a clean room =]. Still no youth group but i hope to attend East Coasts' next monday night. Our whole family could use yours prayers as we try to find a church in the area. It is so hard to leave a church you have grown up in and just start over. There a lot of awesome churches in the area that we have not visited yet. Hopefully we find one that we like soon =]
Other than that everything is good here at the Bobb house. But you can read all about that on "the family blog" lol.
have an amazing day =]

going away party

So i just got home from the family going away party and it was so awesome. A lot of people were there that I had not seen for a while. I was very suprised the see the turn-out of Bobb's because to be honest I did not think ANY of them wouls showup beacuse of how opposed they are to this whole missions thing. But it was fun, Tristan made me a slideshow and it was amazing. It was filled with pictures from the past and present played to My Wish by rascal flats. It was such a thoughtful gift. It seems that we are always competing to see who can get the other person the best gift-and im pretty easy cause im a sucker for gifts that are simple but from the heart =] So hers was the best I think and I know im going to have a hard time topping it. Tomorrow should be the saddest day and I know I will be sure to have my purse stuffed with tissues.
I was asked today if I was excited and I could honestly answer yes. I say this because every other person at school would ask me if i was excited, nervous, or scared and I always answered excited but really I didn't know how I felt-until today. I sat down and was doing my devotions and I was just thinking-no distractions or anything and I came to the conclusion that I am completely and totally PUMPED! =] I mean yeah I am sad but I cant stop from smiling because I feel so full. And by full I mean that I am overflowing with joy and reassurance that everything is going to be fine and I just can not really put into words how amazing it feels to know that you are doing exactly what Gpd wants. It is like he's looking at me and smiling and it is one of the most awesome feelings =] yeah so that's been my day! And I know it is only going to get better from here...

here we go

so i thought i should probably start one of these things to keep people updated. I have a Myspace account and facebook but other than who you comment there really is no way of telling what is going on in your life! So here it-were moving in 5 days. I guess right now I am not upset. I got a little teary today when I was going through some old letters and things from my past years in high school, but the thought of miving has not really hit me yet. I guess it probably will when were about 1,000 miles from home-oh joy! So I guess you could say I am ready and I am keeping this verse
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
I love it, it has been such a good verse ( along with I Corinthians 10:13) to look at in hard times.
thats all for now =]
