Free to a good home!
I don't really know how, but somehow I got signed up for a free year subscription to TV Guide. Now this is great and all, except that...I only have broadcast TV, so it's really pointless for me to be getting this magazine. If anyone is interested in receiving it, I can change my address on the subscription or just bring you the magazine. Let me know... :)

I admit it...I'm wierd
I've been tagged by both Jennifer and Tori to do this meme.
The rules are as follows: Simply link to the person who tagged you. SHARE SEVEN WEIRD things about yourself. Tag SEVEN bloggers to do the same AND include a link to their blog. Let each person know that they have been tagged and finally post the rules on your blog.
So here we go...
7. I sing a lot. But when I'm just by myself in my car or room or something, I sing really loud. And I don't care what it sounds like. But either I'm singing or humming or singing a song in my head. Oh, and another thing wierd about me singing, I don't like my family to hear me sing. Anyone else is okay, but for some reason I never sing outloud around my family.
6. I usually have more fun hanging out with my guy friends than my girl friends. They're much more fun to hang out with. And there's none of the girly gossip, cat-fights, or back stabbing. Boys are just more fun.
5. Sorry to steal this from you Jennifer, but it's the same for me. I can't make decisions. Just ask anyone I've gone out to dinner with. I'm always the last to order because I can't make up my mind. So usually I have them order for me or just copy what they're getting!!!
4. I laugh. A lot. This isn't so wierd, except for that I often have days where I'm in a laughy mood and I just start laughing for no reason. Then I can't stop. Or when I have to read outloud and everyone's watching me. I start laughing. This is why at cell group, Zack usually offers to read! Or I think of something that happened a long time ago, and laugh about that. Or someone says something that just strikes me as funny, so I laugh.
3. I'm not scared of the dark, but I don't like to go outside in the dark by myself. And I hate getting into my car when it's dark. I can't even listen to scary stories about people in the dark.
2. I don't like pictures of me.
1. I come from a small family, but I want to have a large family
Ok...that got harder as I went on. It's hard to think of wierd things about yourself!!!
I tag anyone who hasn't been tagged yet :)

My "revamped" room!
Last week one of my friends made a comment (out of love I'm sure!) about my room. And I agreed, it was about time to do something about it! It looked like at 12 year old's room. With good reason though, as I was 11 or 12 when we moved in here. There were hippie flowers and butterfly decals all over the walls. Porcelain dolls staring at me watching every move I made and overall it was kind of immature looking. Not to mention, it was in need of a serious cleaning. So because I had the week off from school, I decided to tackle this mess. My only regret is that I didn't take "before" pictures, so you can't see the disaster it was! However, I'm sure if you use your imagination you can picture how bad it was...piles of stuff everywhere. Along the walls, in the corners, just piles. Most of which I threw away! It feels good to have a clean room now, we'll see how long it can last!!!
Bad picture...I guess I used to like wearing my brother's clothes? Anyway, this is just to show the butterflies, flowers, and dolls (the doll and crib were long gone before this week!)
About to enter my room
As soon as you walk in, this is what you see, to the left
Going around the room in a circle, next is my bed. Usually it's folded down to a bed, but I put it up to a couch today
Window...closet...boring...
Dormer window "box"
It looks a little crowded, but it's not so bad
Here's a closer look in the "box"
My window seat and window
Photo wall...keyboard...
The last wall of my room
This is one of my favorite parts of my room. With only 6 exceptions, everything here is from Romania. The others are also from other countries or states though.
My other favorite part, and current project. My goal is to cover this wall in pictures!

Quick update...more later
Just a quick update on my car...sorry if you're getting sick of hearing about it. But good news!!! They got the parts in to fix my car, and they were working on it yesterday. They should be able to finish on Monday and then I'll have my baby back! :)
I'll post pictures of my room later! :)

What's cooking?
Here's what's for dinner tonight....Mmmm...I love seasonings and spices!
Getting ready to saute the toppings
Homemade fries
Burgers
Wait for it.....
My plate
My dad's plate (pre-fries)
I was watching Rachael Ray on Wednesday when I saw I recipe I knew I just had to make! She called it Denver Mile High Burgers. I changed up the recipe a bit, so my dad decided the name should be "Melissa's Mile High Burgers". I also made italian seasoned fries. Here's how you can make your own...
"Melissa's Mile High Burgers"
1-1/2 lbs. Ground Turkey
8 strips of Turkey Bacon
Some pieces of lunch meat ham
Steak Seasoning
Salt
Pepper
Oregano
Hot Sauce
1 green Bell pepper
1 red Bell pepper (I didn't have one, but it looks prettier!)
1 onion
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (or vegetable oil, whatever you prefer)
Shredded Mozzerella cheese
Buns
Cut up the ham into tiny little pieces, or put it in a food processor. Then mix together with the ground turkey. This is so that the turkey takes moisture from the ham and doesn't get so dry. Add in steak seasoning, oregano, salt, and pepper. I never measure this, so use your best judgement. Add in some onion if desired. Garlic is good too. Then squirt in some hot sauce. Mix together. Form into patties. Make the outside thicker than the middle, so that when they heat up, they are evenly formed. Cook however you cook burgers, we usually use our George Foreman
Coat a frying pan with oil. Then saute the peppers and onions. Add in salt and pepper to taste. I also added in some chili powder. Get it nice and brown.
Fry up the bacon. (I do mine in the microwave)
Assemble the burger: Place burger on bun. Top with 2 pieces of bacon. Cover with peppers and onions. The put on the mozzerella cheese. Enjoy!!!
"Italian Seasoned Fries"
Potatoes
Italian Salad Dressing
Oregano, Sage, and Basil
Wash potatoes thoroughly. Cut potatoes into wedges. Put in a bowl. Pour Italian dressing over wedges. Cover and shake. Allow to marinate for at least 3 hours. Grease a cookie sheet. Place wedges in a single layer on sheet. Mix spices together and sprinkle over the wedges. Put in 350 oven for 45 minutes. Time may be different depending on how thick you cut the potatoes. When they come out of the oven, sprinkle with Parmasean Cheese.
So mad I could cry!
Well, actually I did :(
So my dad comes home for lunch today and says he talked to the guy about my car. It's not good news. Now they're saying that what they had previously done with replacing the ignition stuff wasn't what's wrong. They say it's something with the computer and wiring. Which apparently is going to cost more to fix than my car is worth. For those who haven't seen my car, it's in good condition and I love it, it's worth over $2000 I think. I can't imagine having another car. :( But what's frustrating is that they've been working on my car since Monday and just now decided to tell us that. So I probably already have a bill over $400 just for the hours they've spent on it. Plus, if I do end up having to get it fixed, it might be over $1000! Now, we have two garages in A-town. But my dad is upset with one of them because of some stupid thing, so he refused to take my car there (the more reputable place), so now he's getting upset with this place too, because they're mechanics, they should have figured it out earlier. But now he says we might take it somewhere else. Arg! Which then leads to, if the car is too expensive to fix, I have to get another one, which is more money and with paying for a mission trip, I don't really have extra money and......................................
It's most stressful for me because I depend on having my car. I have to drive to school next week, and if I don't have a car, that becomes a little difficult. It helps that on Monday and Wednesday Heather and I planned to take turns driving, so she can drive, that takes care of 2 days. Not to mention that I also have to work, and various other activities during the week. So now, I've survived (by being homebound) a week without my car, I don't know if I can do another. Why does this have to happen now? Pray for me...I need it right now because I'm about to breakdown...

The answers you've all been waiting for
Haha. Sure you have ;)
Anyway, there were a lot of great questions, so here are my answers to them!
Q: I would like to know what extra curricular activities (sports, clubs, etc.) you participated in during your middle school and high school years. -Jennifer
A: Well, I shall make you a list. Let me warn you, it's a little long :)
6th grade- church stuff (Youth Group, Library, YC&W, Nursery {this is basically the same all years)
7th grade- Science Olympiad, Drama, Spyrogyra, church stuff
8th grade- Science Olympiad, Drama, Spyrogyra, church stuff
9th grade- Science Olympiad, Drama, Marching Band, Color Guard, Track!, church stuff
10th grade- Science Olympiad, Marching Band, Color Guard, National Honor Society, church stuff,
11th grade- Science Olympiad, Drama, Marching Band, Color Guard, National Honor Society, church stuff, started working part time, planning a mission trip
12th grade- Science Olympiad, Marching Band (president), Color Guard, National Honor Society (Committee chair and Secretary), Track!!, DECA, church stuff, still working, planning a mission trip
Whew! That's a lot more than I thought! I was crazy! :)
Q: I would like to know how old you were and the circumstances surrounding your coming to faith in Christ? -Cheryl
A: This was a two-fold journey for me. My mom used to work for our old church, and often I would go to work with her. I remember one day sneaking into the sanctuary and praying in there that Jesus would come into my heart. I believe I was 5 maybe 6. Then I went to summer camp at Camp Geneva, I think in 4th or 5th grade. We had an amazing night of worship and prayer and it suddenly hit me that I said I was a Christian, but had I really surrendered and truely given my life to Christ? I didn't think so, and we had an opportunity to talk to our counselor. I remember sitting outside on a towel with her, unable to stop crying, and this change happened and I recommitted my life to Christ.
Q: What are your favorite things to do in your "spare" time? -Laura
A: I'm glad you used the quotes!!! Spare time isn't something that I have much of, but when I do have it, I love to spend time with my friends, read, cook, bake, and watch movies!
Q: What is your favorite memory from all of your mission trips? I know, hard to pick just one, but.... -Nate
A: I'm going to cheat on this one. First I'm going to do my favorite of all the trips. Then my favorite from each trip. Nate, you know how hard it is to choose! (I'll warn you though, it's difficult for me to put it into words, so picture what I type with 1000 times more enthusiasm!)
All trips: My first year, the Romanian teenagers planned a day out for us. First we went to the salt mine, then the salt lakes, and then the underwater village. We also did some shopping at Gyspy "flea markets". I loved the entire day, every single minute of it, but my most favorite part was in the salt mine, there was a cathedral type area. We all stood there and sang songs, praising God in both Romanian and English. It was amazing!
2004: My favorite part was when my Romanian friends came over in the evenings and we would go for walks, play sports at the park, hang out and teach each other "country-unique" games, talk, eat, sing, and pray.
2005: I was on my own this year, which made every minute unique. I went to a village, Agarbiciu and they said we would go on a picnic. We ended up hiking about 1.5 hours up a mountain to the picnic spot (the hike itself was a blast!). The kids were amazing! We played games, I tried authentic Romanian foods (delicious!), sang songs, and had an incredible time!
2007: Choosing a favorite is so hard! But I would say it would be when we went to Axente Sever. The kids were so loving and attentive, and they just wanted attention. They wanted hugs and to hold hands, and play games...it was an amazing day.
Q: If you could visit anywhere in the world besides Romania- where would it be? -Cheri
A: Hands down, I would visit Haiti. I have heard so much about it, and with some of my closest friends getting to go there this summer... I think God might be telling me to expand my horizons to go to Haiti as well! (Hmmm...one more person for next summer Nate!)
Q: What us your favoirite class in college and why? -Mari
A: Yay! An easy question! My favorite class is Spanish, because I love learning languages, and I had a wonderful professor. It's always been one of my favorite classes, and I was so glad to get to take it this year! I'm really sad that I'm not taking Spanish this semester!
Q: What are you majoring in and what are your plans after college? -Diane
A: I am majoring in Business Administration. Other than mission work, after college (just 3 more semesters!) I hope to do something in the Hotel/Restaurant/Hospitality industry. I'm not sure what just yet. I've toyed with the idea of hotel management...or running a restaurant...or...well, the possibilities are endless, we'll see how God leads me!
Wow! That was really fun to do! I hope that you have learned something about me, and if you think of another question, feel free to ask! :)

Annoying car!
I was all excited because I thought I would be able to get my car back tonight. So I called, to pay for it over the phone, so I could get it after work tonight. And the man said that it's not ready yet. What they thought was wrong didn't fix the problem, so my car still won't start! Back to square one. However, they think they should have it fixed by noon tomorrow. Which wouldn't be a problem except that I have class tomorrow at 9:30 :)
Great questions so far...keep 'em coming!!
UPDATED AT 9:33- Yay! My parents generously worked it out that I can take my mom's van to school tomorrow, so I don't have to walk to GVSU to take the bus!!

100th Post!!!
I can't believe this is already my 100th post! I tried to think of something creative to do for it, however, I wasn't having much success. Then I saw a link on Jennifer's site to Sue's site. For her 100th post, she let people ask her questions about whatever they wanted to know about her. So that's what I'm going to do. Ask me anything you want to know about me, and on Thursday I'll make a post answering all those questions!

Cran Hill Ranch
This weekend I went up to Cran Hill Ranch with the middle school youth group from church. I wasn't sure what to expect, and it was a little strange for me to be going as a leader when I'm used to going as a student the past 7 years! But it turned out to be a great weekend! We left around 5:30 Friday evening. When we got to the ranch, we unpacked and then met for our first large group meeting. The topic for the weekend was "God made you for this". We discussed how we're all made for a purpose and what we're here on earth for. Then we did a small group response and then free time until bed time.
Saturday morning, we had a personal quiet time. This was interesting, because quiet for middle school girls is different for quiet for adults! :) Then we went to the work project. We had 3 groups. Mine was assigned to move firewood. We had to separate it, move it, stack it, carry it, etc. The other two groups did scrap metal and moving the woodshop to a new location. I didn't take any pictures of the work for fear of damaging my camera. We worked before lunch and after lunch. About 5 hours or so, which was long enough to be cold and tired and a bit sore. Then we had a long free time. Some went tubing, some slept, some played games and just hung out. I was in the latter group :) After dinner, we had another large group meeting and talked about how we are made to serve. We had a time of Servant Commissioning, washing of feet, which was a neat experience. Then we had free time until bed time. It was neat for me because some of the girls wanted me to hang out with them during free time. We painted nails, sat on Kaylyn's bunk for "girly talk" and had a great time. The highlight was getting attacked by silly string, but I'll let Tori or Anna tell you about that! Bed time was a different story though. The girls told a scary story after I had left the room. Then when they found out that the doors didn't lock, they got scared. So they asked if I would sleep in their room that night, instead of with Patty and Jennifer. I said sure. So I moved in there. We said a quick prayer and went to bed. 2 seconds after laying down, I heard "Melissa, I'm still scared" So I crawled up into her bunk, turns out she was homesick, so we talked for a while, and I went back to bed. A few minutes later another girl was scared. So she went to sleep with a friend, and I crawled up there too to comfort them. I guess we learned not to tell scary stories any more!!
Sunday morning we had our last large group time. We talked about ways to live out God's plan and ways to serve Him. We kicked off the fundraising for 30 Hour Famine (details coming another day). We also had a personal quiet time and then packed up and cleaned the cabin. That being done, we had some time before lunch so we played some games. After lunch, we headed home. It was a great weekend but it sure wore us out!!!
I let Kaylyn use my camera...but I'll spare Jennifer the embarassment by not putting most of the pictures up! :)
