| RETREAT 08Last weekend was the Cedar Crest Youth Retreat. It was my first retreat and I had lots of fun. Some of the things I did were: hung out with friends, played lots of volleyball and some basketball, ate mucho food, kinda learned how to ride unicycle, polished up my skateboarding skills, took pictures, went on a little cart ride, had an awesome sharing time, played pool, gave a concert, sang a lot, and got behind in sleep. So yeah, the weekend was busy. I'm tired of writing so I'll just post a few pictures.
An old truck, this shot was taken by my sis.
My brother's amazing reading pose, and lots of other people.
These were the little cart things we rode around in on Sunday afternoon.
I was gonna upload some other ones but I can't because it says something about the file size being to large. Hopefully I'll post them on facebook sometime.
I could write more, but I won't.

| Can't think of a title, sorry.If you're looking for interesting facts and information about my life or anything connected with my life, you won't find it here. You know, this whole updating thing is a whole lot easier than I thought it was. --- -- - Arlyn
P.S. It's after 1 o'clock in the morning after my first week of school. I'm tired, random, unmotivated, uninspired, not in the mood to post{but I will anyway}, sleepy, dreary-eyed, and the list goes on for quite some time. I will spare the details.
But then again, some of you regular readers may just want to know the interesting, unknown, tiny, small or perhaps large, incredibly time-consuming, lengthly or perhaps shortly, details of my life. If so, perhaps you could ask me in person. Or don't if you don't want to. In any case, do what you feel led to do, unless it's something different than what you feel is ethically, economically, socially, politically, evironmentally, governmentally, or musically right. You must however realize that the time you spent reading, analyzing, deciphering, critiquing, etc. this post or not reading, analyzing, deciphering, critiquing, etc this post, is your time and not my time. I will take credit for taking the time to write this post, duh, who else would have written this post, but I'm not responsible for how you spend your time.
p.s. I wrote more than I was planning to.

| ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK!!!!!!!
Well, as you can see I'm pretty excited. The Kansas Jayhawks advance to the NCAA Finals under coach Bill Self. I just got done watching the game and it was truly an awesome game. So they play Memphis on Monday night. Hopefully they will win.  I am very excited as many other Kansans are. Wow, it takes a KU game to get me to post. Anyway enough about that.
I've gone to a lot of concerts since my last post. On Thursday night I went to see the Duttons. They were INCREDIBLE. Wow, they are like world class musicians and entertainers. I also saw Sally Harmon, John Mccutcheon, Concordia, and I think some other band but I forget now.
Last night we had school just for something different. It was awesome and everyone was really wild and in the mood for a party. You can check out some of the other school kids blogs who will hopefully update on this event.
Hmm, I think I'm done. I have a lot of things to say but not enough time and energy to say them, but at least I got the most important thing taken care of.
Rock on Jayhawks!!!!!!!! -Arlyn

| Hi again.
Hmm, my siblings came back from Paraguay. They had an awesome etc. time down down there.Here is a picture of the front of our old house, where I used to live.
It's not a super picture, but it's not to bad. Oh, here is another picture, I just can't resist not posting it. This is what happens when you shorten a car. Pretty sweet!! My brother has some other pictures on his blog if you are interested.
A couple of weeks ago, I got another little addition to my growing family of guitars. It's an Epiphone Les Paul Special 2. I LIKE IT!!! The first night I had it corresponded with the night Kevin, Jared, and I had a sleepover at church after the social. We tested the sound capabilities of the 20 watt amp that came with it and discovered that it could indeed produce loud noise. Anyway, we got to bed at five. Two and a half hours later we were up and super stoked for school. Jk about that last part. The next night I caught up by sleeping 15 hours straight. So here are some pictures of the guitar.
 
Yup, they're fairly random, I was in a hurry so...
Last Wednesday I had devotions at church. It wasn't to bad, but by that I'm not saying I wanna do it again.
So here I reach the conclusion of this post, Arlyn Miller

| New Year, New Post Hi everybody! blah, blah, blah, etc.
Our school choir gave programs a few weeks ago. They went fairly well. Much of the credit goes to our great director, Lyle Stutzman. After both programs we had parties. In other words, after each program we had a blast hanging out late into the night and eating food.
A few weeks ago we had the ice storm thing happen. Kinda cool in more ways than one, not so cool in other ways. This was the not so cool part. Now that takes care of explaining what I did in Christmas break.
On the last day of school, we had a taffy pull. It was lots of fun and the taffy turned out really well. I helped mix the ingredients and stir it, so that might have been part of the reason for its success.
A week or so ago we had Christmas. All the relatives came over to our house and ate, etc.
We had a two week break from school, also know as Christmas vacation. I spent my "vacation" doing all sort of things. I read a lot. I read The Oath(Frank Perretti), A Painted House(John Grisham), The Rainmaker(John Grisham), and I started on The Broker. That was for your information.
A few days ago, we had a New Years Eve Party. We, also known as the youth group, watched Facing the Giants, performed bag skits, ate, etc. Everybody left the original party at two. Some of us decided that, that was simply to early. I transferred my membership over to another party. I left at four, feeling slightly, umm, uh, tired, you guessed it.
Warning: This next paragraph may contain boring content. Recently, I read some stuff about the new year. A lot of the stuff I heard was from people called trend watchers. They simply watch the trends over long periods of time and do lots of surveys and predict what will happen in the near future. So here are some of my predictions for 2008.
Economy- The economy will see the biggest change. Their will be an economical collapse. At midsummer the dollar will be worth a dime. Oil will be at $200 a barrel. Their will also be international economy problems.
Politically- Of course the big change is that the new president will be taking the throne, or something like that. I predict Barack Obama will be our next president, but who knows. I also predict people will want to have an early election because of the economy and the current president's actions(No offense to you Bush fans out there, but..).
Environmentally- Little change. Scientists predict a severe wind related storm this spring. I'm not sure if I agree with them.
Ok, safe for the public again. My siblings are all in Paraguay. They plan to come home on Tuesday. I might post a few pictures that they took, if I have the time.
On Friday we had a "jam" session at Jacob's house. Mucho fun.
Our school plans to go to the Underground Salt Museum on Tuesday.
With these thoughts in mind, I will close. Till next time, Arlyn
Here is a pic taken in the summer and posted because it's winter.
