*For the past two years i have been serving God and trying to be a light to my lost family!!!*

About two weeks ago marked my two years of being saved! I can say it has been the hardest two years of my 17 years of living! Through losing close to every one of my old friends and moving schools, and moving homes. It has also been the BEST two years of my life! Ive made hundreds of new friends and have met countless of wonderful people! I was able to move to a Christan school where i will be graduating in the spring. The Lord has really helped me these past two years,In soo many ways i couldn't even begin to list! I'm soo thankful for how he has blessed me with my wonderful family and church family!!!

Here's me and my sister at a Japanese  steak house celebrating my 17th birthday with my mother:)

Back in December we got a new addition to my mothers side of the family:) Anakin Enzo!

Watching all three of my brothers grow has made me realize just what my parents meant when they would tell me to 'please stop growing!'

I often say the same to my brothers.My one of them reply 'but i cant't help it!'

Hairbows:)

I enjoy doing having many hobbies. One just so happens to be making hair bows. One of my absolute favorite web sites has to be etsy.com. This is where i tend to get some really good ideas from. Although i do haft to give my wonderful Aunt Kara cedit for some ideas aswell:)  I have been selling some of my hair bows at a few shops in town close to where i live and seem to be having some pretty good luck surprisingly!!!:) It would be awesome to one day own a boutique  and just sell all kinds of stuff haha but for now im just doing it to make a little bit of money so here are a few pics and if you think u might like to have some just send me an e-mail:)

more about me, continued...:)

Last summer(2010) me, Allison, and two of my cousins was planing on going to a youth camp that we had gone to the year before, but our plans were almost cancelled when Grandma was thinking about going out west for a family reunion. We really wanted to go so Grandma gave in and took us all to Youth Camp:)!! I am soo glad she did! The theme of the youth camp was titled 'Answer the call' this was continued from the years before title 'Make the call' we talked about letting God use you and how he has a plan for everyone. So this past summer, 'Answer the call' was about will you answer God if he calls you to peach or to be a missionary or to do any of his work?
Well the fist message really spoke to my heart, and i was saved that night♥ I decided that i wasn't going to live my life the way i was any more and i knew God was going to help me through it!! The 2 nights after i was saved i was both sanctified and filled with the Holy Ghost. I felt determined to make it!! I came home and cleaned out my closet got rid of all my makeup and other things I felt like I didn't need to have. My sister did the same. We moved into our father's where were able to get out of public school and now we attend a christian school. Although we didn't get to live with our grandparents and become home schooled as we wanted to, God worked it out wonderfully! Now my Grandparents come to pick us up before church on Wednesdays and Saturdays we are always at our Grandparent's Saturday nights to go to church Sunday morning! My dad's only rule is we haft to be home by 10! you may not believe the same as i do, and you might not know why i changed so much, but when God gets in your heart. He helps direct you to live right! 
don't give up on God's miracles!

More about me:)

So as it says in my 'About me'. I am Melanie and in this blog i wannt tell a little myself.

My parents split up when i was in about the 2nd grade. I love them both very much and they have both remarried and have boy each. I have 3 siblings and enjoy them all!:) Allison has just turned 12 and she has helped me soo much this summer. We may not act like we are close because i am always teasing her, I love her VERY much:) My other two brothers are Tanner, and Achillies. Tanner is 4 going on 8, and Achillies is 2. Although there is such a huge difference between me and them I still spend as much time as I possibly can with them!
