Well, I'm sorry everyone, but I promised myself I would only have two different sites....and right now I have three, so xanga must go! I appologise to everyone who actually read my stuff and I hope to see you at myspace or facebook. (Look for Bethany Mokma!) I also appologise to xanga whom I owe much too. So long old friend. - Bethany

Hey everyone! So sorry that it took me forever to update...but life gets busy. I am currently busy with...

Youth Group: I have a bunch of fundraisers coming up, I go to pretty much every event, and we're getting ready for Florida (If I haven't mentioned it yet, I'm going to Florida over Spring Break with a bunch of my fellow church high-schoolers..and I'm very, very excited!).

Work: Quiznos is going well and I've been working alot of hours there, I've cut down working with my mom from twice a week to once a week, and my brother-in-law has hired me to do some cleaning and painting for his realty buisness.

Family: I've been doing my best to keep in touch with my family (Expecially my imediate family), and I've been trying to get together with my cousins whom I miss way too much.

Dutch Dance: It's almost Spring Break and we only have 2 out of 3 dances done with...I'm getting kind of worried. But dancing with my friend Deanna and her friends is a blast!

And with all that I'm also trying to hang out with basketball friends, and trying to keep in touch with camp friends. And I refuse to cut back on any of these because their insanely fun! (Even working, surprisingly.)

I hope this update wasn't too boring for you...and I hope everyone has a lovely week! - Bethany

So I just got back from an amazing trip to Cinncinatti, Ohio. Amazing. I stayed in a hotel room with four fabulous girls and had a ton of fun!

Alaina, Claire and Stephanie watching the Lancing game.

Lydia and Claire, showered and beautiful.

Stephanie, Lydia, Rachel and Claire (Either on the way to, or from Olive Garden).

Lydia, Rachel and Claire violating some serious PDA rules.

Stephanie, Claire, Adam, Rachel, Peter, Alaina and Andy. (Sorry, this one is a little darker than I wanted it to be.)

An attemp at a picture of Claire and me.

Alaina and Claire. Both insanely photogenic.

The Grand Rapids Thunder.

Alaina, Steph, and Claire, cheering for the Thunder.

A very blurry picture of Rachel.

Claire, Lyida, and Steph showing off their red-hot uniforms.

And now I'll have to be depressed until next season. Please comment and let me know your still there! - Bethany

Currently Listening I Wish We All Could Win By The Afters see related

Hey everyone! So I totally am loving the snow (Which is weird, because I hate the snow). It's really horrible when your in it...but when your in the house...it's wonderful. :)

So Regionals is coming up this Wednesday, and I'm flipping out about it! I can not wait! I haven't been this happy in a long time, and I really, really enjoy it. :)

So there's totally a concert on March 8, which is a Thursday, that I really, really want to go to. Is anybody interested? It will be the Afters, Mainstay and Our Hearts Hero, and tickets are $8 in advance (I'll pick them up for us) and $10 at the door. I'm dieing to go...so if anybody wants to hang out...I'm there. :)

Well, I guess that ends my post for today. I'll leave you with these lyrics.

Until You came I was just the same
As everybody else
Whoever saw the light and turned away

You love me now
You loved me then
And every now and again
You show me how it would be if I'd gone the other way

After all this time I've come to find my soul's fragility
But You've rectified my frailty by your strength

It's like the sun swallowed up by the earth
Like atomics bombs in reverse
As if a glass could contain the sea
That's the way You are in me
That's the way You are

Now here I stand looking back
To the way things used to be
But I will never be alone again

Cause you're with me
And now I see
What it means to me
To be a part of such a mystery

Currently Listening Fight the Tide By Sanctus Real see related

So everything is the same as it was 6 days ago when I updated last.

It's kind of sad when we grow out of things we once loved. Like xanga. Hmm....I think I will write a song about xanga.

Where did it go

This love I had for you?

So many days spent here

Waiting for some news

My friends would update and

Let me know what was going on

Now Myspace is 'hot'

And xanga is gone

It's still physically here

Just dead to the world

And now, no one probably reads

The updates of this girl

But even though everyone has left

And has chosen a different site

I stay true to the end

Thankyou, all, and goodnight

So, that was me trying to come up with song lyrics...not my specialty, but I try.

Regionals is coming up pretty soon, so it's getting pretty exciting, although I don't think we'll be ready in  less than a month.

And I'll be gone this weekend to voulenteer at a camp, and it will probably be my last time voulenteering at this camp.....yeah, it's kind of depressing.

Well, I hope you all have a wonderful rest-of-January. Cya! - Bethany
