Just Another Week of Summer.

Hello everyone!
  I haven't written in a while because I haven't really had anything to write about that much. I think I'm just going to write as things happen each day from now on. I will try to write once a week as I can.
  So this week was quite fun. On Monday and Tuesday night I had marching band practice each night, which was very fun. We learned all the music for the entire show, and really, this season is just going to be epic. I can just feel it. I am so excited for marching band season to really really really kick off. Pre-Camp starts on July 22, and that's Monday through Thursday 8 AM-Noon. Then the week after that we have Band camp which is still Monday through Thursday 8 AM-5 PM. Each week is of course long, and hot, and sweaty, and full of lots of awkward tan lines. But nevertheless I am excited, even though when I get there I'm going to be all "bllaaahh" I am excited. I'm just saying that now. Anyway, after practice on Monday and Tuesday my friends and I went out. On Monday we went to Taco Bell, and got some food and just hung out together for a little bit. On Tuesday we went to this local Mexican restaurant called Margaritas. We did the same, just hung out together and talked. It was a lot of fun. I love hanging out with my friends.
  On Wednesday I went over to my grandma's house to do some work for her to raise some more money for MOVE '13. I cleaned all the cabinets and then I dusted and cleaned the basement. For all of that I got $40, which was really nice. I thanked her many times, and if she reads this, Thank you again! My grandparents are awesome. Then I was going to go over to Andie's house again, but there were some really bad storms coming in, so I ended up staying at my Grandparents house until my parents came to pick me up. My uncles family came over just for safety and I finally got to see my cousins for the first time since March. It was nice to see all of them again.
  On Thursday I did in fact go over to Andie's house and I spent the majority of my day there. It was so much fun! We spent most of the entire time I was there outside. I kept the little boys occupied for quite a while. We ran around, just playing, and running around in water that was sort of like an immobile sprinkler that had sprung from one of her hoses in the garden. I got completely soaked, as did the twin boys, Josh and Cadence. I then made clover flower crowns and necklaces for all three of the little boys. We went around picking flowers, and we seriously had so much fun. Andie was working on building a little porch in front of her house, and I helped a little with that. Then at about 7:30 we all went inside and got food, then Josh, Cade, and Kaleb went to sleep, and Andie, Kevin, and I sat out in the living room watching Doctor Who until my parents came and picked me up. Overall I had a blast over there. I love spending time with all of them, and it seriously makes me so happy whenever I do get to be with them.
  Friday was pretty much full of nothing. I laid around the house and listened to music, and watched lots of Youtube videos. I managed to figure out how to connect the computer with the big speakers that are connected to the TV and I got to listen to music out of those. It was quite glorious. Then I went to bed actually quite early, probably because I was still tired from Thursday because let me tell you, I was completely exhausted after running around with the boys on Thursday.
  So yeah, that was my week! I hope you all had a lovely week as well. Now it's fathers day weekend, and I'm sure something will happen. Some close friends, Marla and Anson, are coming over tonight for church and food. That will be fun! Then tomorrow I'm sure my parents have something up their sleeves. Breakfast with the grandparents I presume. I'm excited! I'll try and write again before Wednesday because that is when we leave for the mission trip, so I wont have any technology with me. I hope you have a lovely father's day weekend. Happy fathers day to all the fathers out there. Happy father's day to my daddy. He is amazing, and I love him so much!

I love you all tons! Stay fantastic, and always look on the bright side of life! <3

Weekend Events!

Hello everyone!
  Sorry I haven't written for a while, but it's really good to be writing again. I have had quite a lovely weekend over all! This isn't really going to have a huge point to it, you know, just sharing my weekend and stuffs that has happened during it.
  On Thursday evening I had marching band rehearsal and that was fun, of course. I love marching band, if you hadn't noticed yet!
  Then on Friday I went over to Andie's house to help make more cookies for the bake sale that we are doing for raising the last funds for the mission trip that Liz, Malachi, and I are going on in a week and a half. Which if you still want to donate some money, and get some delicious cookies that are made with love, you could check stuffs out on Facebook, and I will put up a link for the order form at the end of this for everyone! But yeah, I made lots of cookies with Andie on Friday night, and when we were all done doing that we just hung out together. We watched the great movie, Ghost, that has Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, and Whoopi Goldberg in it. Such a good movie. Malachi showed up about a fourth of the way through it, so I got to see him and hang out with him for a little bit, which was quite lovely. I love being able to see him. Then after that we watched How I Met Your Mother until my parents came and picked me up at about 2 AM.
  On Saturday I did approximately nothing. I just sort of slept for a while, and then lounged around the house pretty much for the majority of the day. My parents were watching Game of Thrones for several hours, so I finally got to finishing the graphic novel series Strangers in Paradise. Oh my goodness. It was so lovely, it's not even funny! It was gorgeous, and apparently there is another book coming out sometime this year, which my step mom and her best friend, my Aunt Kitty, who were the ones that got me into SiP, are totally stoked about, and of course now that I've finished it, I am as well! I can't wait for it to come out!
  Then today I had graduation to go to and play at with the band. It wasn't as bad as it could have been. It was actually quite lovely! Better than the past graduation ceremonies I have been to. It was really actually enjoyable! I had fun playing at it, and listening to the speakers, and seeing a lot of good friends graduate. After that I went to hang out with my friends Austin (a graduate today), Holly, Mattie, Brenden, Jon, and Kourteney, at Holly and Mattie's house. We had pizza and cookies, and then we swam for about 2 hours. It was so much fun! After we were done swimming we all came inside and ate a little more, and then watched the movie Liar Liar, with Jim Carey in it. In the middle of that I had to come home, and well here I am now. I'm sitting in the living room with my parents watching the Tony's.
  So yeah, that's been my weekend update. I've had quite a lovely weekend. I hope you have had a lovely weekend as well! I hope you have a lovely upcoming week as well!

Here's the link to the order form for the donation based bake sale if you would like to order some. It would be really helpful for Liz, Malachi, and I as we get close to going on the mission trip:

Thank you all so much! You are all fantastic, and I love your beautiful faces!

Stuff and Things!

Hello everyone!
  So these past couple of days have actually been quite fun. On Tuesday night I had my first Marching band practice and that was lovely!! I am so excited to be back marching, and learning new music, which sounds so fantastical it's not even funny. I have another rehearsal tonight, and then not again until Monday. I'm so looking forward to each and every rehearsal. Im just so excited about all of it. Marching band isn't my favorite thing in the world, but I love the music, and I love the people, and on occasion I do enjoy it, but not that much, besides the music. I love the music. It makes me so happy.
  Yesterday I woke up for reals at about 11-ish and went on a nice walk with my parents around the neighborhood. Then did some of our own stuff for a couple hours. I made food for myself, and my dad mowed the lawn, and Stephanie did recycling and money stuffs. Then we got all cleaned up and my dad had to go to his college campus to do some stuff, but on the way they dropped me off at Andie's house. I got to spend the entire evening there with everyone, cooking baked goods for a little bake sale that Liz and I are holding to raise some money for our mission trip that we are going on. We got some money by selling some of the stuff to the neighbors, and they donated a little more, which was really nice. (Which by the way, if anyone would like to buy some cookies or brownies that we made, they are 2 for a dollar, you can just hit me up on Facebook if we're friends!) Then Andie, Malachi, Liz, and I went to Kroger to get some more flour so that we could make more stuffs. Then we got home and we chilled for a little bit, then had supper, cleaned up a little, then Liz and I went back cooking brownie stuff. We attempted to make Brownie cookies, which weren't that successful, in fact, I actually scraped an entire layer of skin off my knuckle with one of them. I think I'm the only person that can literally say I injured myself with a brownie. Yep. Talent right there. After Liz and I were done, and cleaned up, we all sort of just laid around while I waited for my parents to pick me up. I had a really lovely time. I love spending time with that entire family. They make me so happy, if I hadn't mentioned that before.
  Then today I have just sort of been sitting around watching Bones, and now Doctor Who. Now, I'm just waiting to go to Marching band practice. Yay. So yeah, thats been my past few days.

I love each and everyone of you! Stay fantastic!

These Past Few Days.

Good Afternoon Readers!
  I am so sorry that I haven't written these past few days. There has been a lot of crap going on internally, and emotionally for me these past few days, and I really wasn't in the mood to write about anything, especially what was going on. I'm not going to write about it, but I would just like to ask for your prayers. I need the strength to leave it all behind me and continue to be a happy cheerful, loving person as per usual. Thank you all.
  So I'm just going to write a quick update. On Sunday I went to a cast party with my parents for the show that they are in, Les Mis. I got to see a lot of my theater friends, and it was great to see them again. Along with that I made new friends. It was the highlight of my day and it was nice. Yesterday I had the last Mission trip meeting for the local mission trip I'm going on in two weeks. It was really nice to see a lot of people who really make me happy. I saw my small group leader, Shelby, and I was so happy to finally see her. I have missed her so much, and I haven't seen her in about two weeks. I got to see a bunch of other church friends, which was really nice because I love seeing all of them. I also met new people, and learned peoples names and I wasn't antisocial! I'm so proud of myself! Also, I FINALLY got to see Malachi and Liz. It was fantastic to see both of them, along with the rest of their family. I love their family so freaking much, they are essentially my own. I got to go home with them and I hung out with Liz, Andie, Kevin, Elijah, and the baby of the family, Kaleb. I love them all. We all snuggled up on the couch and watched Doctor Who, which was very traumatic on Liz and I. One of the really sad episodes. We both sobbed our eyes out together. Yeah.
  But I doth believe that is it. I had a really good time yesterday, seeing a lot of people that I love to death. Tonight I get to go to marching band practice and Im so freaking excited!! YAY!

I love you all so much! God bless, and stay fantastical!

A Day With the Family

Hello World!
  I waited to write this so late for one reason only. This would be because I completely forgot. I looked at the clock and I was just thinking "Well! I almost totally forgot to write a blog today!" I'm glad I did remember to write it though!
  So today was the first day of Summer, and I totally forgot about it. I woke up this morning at about 6:30 AM and I started panicking. I thought I had to go to school and I freaked because I hadn't set my alarm. Then I figured out it was Saturday, and it was the first day of summer break. I sort of sighed with relief and crashed again until about 11. It was really nice! Then I woke up, put on some music and ate breakfast while going through twitter and facebook!
  Later when my dad woke up and had done stuff we headed over to my Grandmas house to visit my aunt. She's been home from the hospital for about two days and we are all so relieved to have her home. Keep praying for her to feel better if you have been. Thank you all so much for the prayers. But we went and hung out for a little bit with the family. Then we got chinese food and ate together while watching Wipe-Out. Then we watched 50 First Dates with Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler. That is such a great movie and I love it so much. After that we my dad decided it was time to go, so we cleaned up and headed out. I had such a lovely time with my family even though we didn't do much. Just being with them, and knowing that Savannah is home and safe, and getting better is enough for me. I love just being with them.
  So yeah! That was my day! I know this is short, but it is what it is.

I love everyone, and stay amazingly amazing! God Bless!!

School's Out!!

Hello everyone who might be reading this!!!
  So guess what!? School's out!! Woo Hoo!! I'm so excited because one, school's out and everything, and two, the end of school means the beginning of marching band!! IM SO EXCITED!! Next week on Monday, we have our first practice. Sadly, I won't be able to go because I have a MOVE meeting (Which is the mission trip I'm going on in three weeks. Also super excited.) and I won't be able to make it. Then on Tuesday I will be able to get started with marching band and I am SO excited!! I got the bass clarinet I will be playing this season and I was just squeaking with joy when I finally got it. It was kind of a mess when I first got it, so after I had got home this evening I cleaned the crap out of it, and now it smells slightly better and it's clean. No more gunk in the mouth piece, or the neck, or the body, or the bell. It's so pretty. I started playing it and it all just came right back to me. I am so excited to be back on bass clarinet and I cannot wait to start marching with it. I'm not going to lie though, it does kind of take a toll on my wrist, but it's totally worth it! Im exstatic!
   Anyway, like I said, schools out. Thes past four days I have been taking final, after final. I think I explained it all to you. I got at least a B on most of them. I haven't checked all of them yet, but I know I got a B on my Geometry, Chemistry, and English final, and a 90% on my Econ final! Whoo! So that's kind of epic! I have an A as final grades in most of my classes, so that's good! I'm kind of just relieved that I'm finally done with finals, and school and everything. Now, I do like school, as stated before, but I am glad that I'm done. I'm looking forward to the intimidating Junior year that is lying ahead of me. I'm taking 4 ACP classes, which mean they are College Courses, and give me college credit hours, if I pass the finals in the classes. I am also taking Pre-Calc. That is probably the one that I am most intimidated by because I'm not the best when it comes to Math. Especially Algebra. But I am looking forward to the challenge. All of those will help me actually get to know what it's like in college, because I know I will have to study, and actually do my homework! Yay!
  But yeah. I think that's about all my mind can come up with for right now. I'll be writing tomorrow at somepoint hopefully. I'm going to visit my Aunt tomorrow I doth believe, so I'm really excited to finally see her out of the hospital.
  Have a lovely evening everyone and God bless!!

I love each and every one of you!! <3 <3

Absolute Laziness..

Hello Everyone!
  I'm glad I'm finally convincing myself to write this because for the past 3 and half hours I have literally lying on my floor and being on my computer. That's it. I haven't done anything productive, other than the fact that I fed myself. I don't think that really counts though. I don't really know what to write for this one, so I suppose it's going to be pretty short, since I'm just sitting in a corner of my room with a sheet wrapped around my head like a desert camel herder. Whoo!
  I found out that my aunt has finally gotten out of the hospital and she's finally home. She's on pain medication, and she will probably be sleeping a lot. So for the next couple of weeks she will be home with her parents getting better. She is on her way to recovery and it's really a blessing from God that she is. Everyone who has known about this has been hopefully praying, and keeping her in their thoughts, and I would just like to thank each and every one of you for keeping her and our family in your prayers. It really means a lot. But the prayers aren't over. Please, if you do pray, keep praying that she does recover quickly, and correctly. We cannot wait to have the normal Savannah  with us again. So thank you all for your prayers, and keep praying for her please.
  That's about it for tonight. Sorry for it being so short. I'm going to go get food now, and then study for my last two finals I have to take tomorrow before school finally lets out. Then next Monday Marching band starts for all of us Band kids. I AM SO EXCITED! I get to play Bass Clarinet this year, and I am so freaking stoked its not even funny! I cannot wait for this Marching season. It is going to to be so awesome!! SQUEE!!!
  Alright everyone! Have a lovely rest of your night, and god bless!!

I love you all! Stay fantabuloustastical! <3 <3

What to do When There's No Karaoke!

Hello you lovely people!
  I suppose it's time for me to finally get around to write tonight blog, so here we go!
  So usually on Wednesday nights my family and I all go to Karaoke with a couple of our friends and we jam out at a family friendly restaurant together and we have much fun. It really is a lot of fun, and I love going every week, but we all won't be going any more for about 7 weeks. This is due to the fact that my parents have practice for Les Mis on Wednesdays from here until mid July. I'm obviously not complaining, I mean I love being able to stay home just as much as I love going to karaoke. And I'm going to be doing that for a while, so I'm down with it!
  Today I got home and I set all my school stuff down, and right away, I took off my pants. I mean really. If you get home after school (or work or whatever) and you don't either take off your pants, or immediately change into comfy clothes, you are seriously messed up. In my opinion pants, and shoes aren't as necessary as everyone thinks they are. Yeah, I guess that they are socially acceptable and you should probably have pants on if you go into public but honestly if you are still wearing jeans when you are home, no. Just no. Shoes on the other hand, for me, are completely irrelevant. I wear shoes because I don't want to hurt my feet, but about 7 times out of 10 you can find me at school without shoes on. Now that I think about it I don't think I'm going to wear shoes to school on Friday. That sounds like a good idea to not wear shoes in school on the last day. Technically my school can't really get me in trouble for not wearing shoes at school because the handbook doesn't say I have to actually wear them. So a lot of times I just don't. Especially in band. Okay, totally got off track there with my rant about pants and shoes. Sorry about that.
  After I took my pants off I went out and I ate several cookies that my brother had brought home from work because they were there, and I was hungry, and they were delicious, and I don't care if I get fat. Then I successfully made myself some chicken for supper without burning myself. I was very proud. It was delicious. I found this way to cook the chicken after its thawed that makes it really super good. I spray cooking spray in the pan before I cook them and it like makes it magically crusty and good, but not so much that it's bad. Its like magic. I was rather proud of myself for making supper. Then I sat down in the living room and found some Doctor Who on the Television and ate my chicken and watched that because I love Doctor Who. It makes me so happy! So that was awesome! Then my brother returned home while I was watching V for Vendetta and I came to my room, and here we are! I'm here writing this, talking to Malachi, and listening to music. I am going to go try and write another blog for the Average Difference blog, which was due on Sunday, so its really super late.
  That about wraps it up for tonight! Have a lovely evening everyone!!

I love you all, and all your amazingly magical faces!

Random Derpiness!

Hello World!! Or, you know, who ever might be reading this.
  So last night I didn't write a blog because I knew that I had written one during Geometry class and I kind of just didn't want to write another one. I'm apologizing to myself for doing that because I know that I need to keep up with this for my sake. But last night I was in like major derp mode where I was really kind of hyper, and weird, and tired, and I had weird cravings for random stuff. Like last night at some point I was just thinking "I really want to watch like a really super awesome musical." Then I realized we didn't have any really awesome musicals in the house. All the musicals we had were sad and depressing and blaaahhh, so I just ended up watching 'Fame'. Fame is kind of like a musical, but not really, but kind of. If you understand what I'm saying. I didn't get to completely finish it, because I started it too late and my bed time came too quickly. It was fine though. I did stuffy stuff and then went to my room for the night and wrote in my 500 Year Diary for about 40 minutes. It helps me clear my head. I hadn't written in it in quite a while so it was really refreshing to be able to just write a bunch of jumbled up feeling and not have anyone judge me or anything. It felt really good.
  Yeah, also last night, I realized that I shouldn't cook. Just ever. It's a really bad Idea because inevitably I make really weird food. I mean it't good, but it never fails that when I cook I end up creating a lot of smoke in a pan, or the burner, or the oven, or I end up burning something, but no matter what I always end up burning myself. Last night I put a chicken breast in the microwave, and then I thought "I'm too impatient to wait for it to cook in the microwave. LETS COOK IT ON THE STOVE!" So I did. It ended up being actually really good, but of course there were unnecessary amounts of smoke, and I burned my thumb. I was just like "REALLY? Really stove??" So I'm thinking cooking it in the microwave would have been a better idea. Also, an even better solution would be if we had any potatoes in the house. I am like in love with potatoes and I could probably eat them for every meal. I would get fat, but that doesn't really matter. See, for me when I make potatoes, I stab them with a fork, and then I put them in the microwave. Sometimes I don't actually hurt myself. No. Nope, that's a lie. Every time I microwave potatoes I always burn myself with potato juice that comes out of the potato when I microwave it. And sometimes I even stab myself with the fork when I'm stabbing the potato. Maybe I should just ward off cooking anything. The more I think about it the more I realize that I just shouldn't do it. Every time I try and cook I inevitably hurt myself. Though all of that is true, I will never stop cooking, and I will never stop hurting myself. It's just who I is! Whoo!!! I'll hopefully eventually learn to not hurt myself, or burn stuff, or burn the house down. Eventually it will happen. Hopefully.
  So yeah, those are my thoughts for now! I'll actually get one up later tonight at some point. I won't be attending Karaoke tonight, so I don't really know what I'm going to do with myself, so I'll just write another blog for today, and derp around the house again while making my life a musical inside my head. Because I can! Yay!

I love each and every one of you! Have a lovely Wednesday!! <3 <3 <3

Memorial Day! (Plus Some)

So hello everyone!
  Sorry this is coming a little late. I was a little busy yesterday and I didn't have any access to a good computer to write this on. So this is my make-up Memorial Day blog! Yay!
  So my Memorial Days usually consist of a parade in the morning and then lounging around the rest of the day. This year was much different. I woke up bright and early to get ready for the parade that I was supposed to be in for my tiny itty-bitty town of Middlebury that they hold every year to honor all those who have served, are serving or have lost friends or family who have served in my town. Its kind of really small, but overall its pretty nice. This year, it was raining pretty bad when I woke up at 8:15 in the morning so I got on Facebook after I had eaten breakfast, and checked around to see if we were still having the parade or not. There was no news for a little bit, so I went and got all my clothes pulled out and ready to put on if I did need to go down to the elementary school for the parade after all! Then I checked Facebook again and my band director had posted that the parade and the concert afterwards was cancelled after all. It was kind of a sigh of relief for everyone in the house. Though I do respect the people the parade and the day overall honors, it had been a tiring weekend for everyone. My mom got some much needed sleep, which I was happy she did because I knew she needed it. I went back to bed until noon and I was so glad about that as well because I was pretty tired from not getting that much sleep on Saturday night.
  After my parents got some food, and watched a movie Stephanie and I went to the hospital at about 2ish, and got there about 3ish. It was good to be there with my grandma, grandpa, aunt and uncle all there as well. We all got food and such when needed and it was nice for a little while. Thats when things sort of went bazzerk. I'm not going to go into any detail because it's some personal family stuff, but it was a little crazy. Everything eventually got all sorted out but by that time it was about 9, and close to my bed time. So Stephanie left Anna to sleep and the family to be together and we went back home. We got home close to ten and I got on the computer momentarily and then went straight to bed because I was a little shaken up from everything happening and sleep was the best option for me.
  This morning I woke up at about 6:15 so that I could study a little more for my Spanish final that I had. Then I went back to bed and slept for another 20 minutes, which was nice because I was still exhausted. I'm in Geometry class right now, having finished half of my final, the other half being on Thursday. The day is almost over and I don't have anything completely done. I didn't finish my Spanish final, which I will finish during study hall tomorrow, and I still have an entire half of a Geometry final to do on Thursday! Whoo! I'm glad to be accomplishing some though, even though I kind of HAVE to do it. I'm just excited to get this week done and over with! Then Marching Band starts! And I have a Mission trip that I'm going on in a couple weeks, then summer stuffs, and then my soul is sold to Marching band until October! IM EXCITED!
I doth believe that wraps it all up for now, y'all!

I love each and everyone of you so much! God loves you! Puppies love you! Have a wonderful day!

Sudden Change of Events

So good evening everyone!
  I was planning on writing some yesterday but when I was eating supper with my parents the weekend took a sudden turn of events. I can't really give any details but the basic gist of things was my Aunt was in the hospital, and my parents went to go be with her, leaving me home alone. I was completely freaking out and I ended up spending the evening over at Andie's house and staying the night there and just being with her and her bunch of amazing kids. It really was quite awesome to have that time with the family, and not have to think about what was happening with my Aunt.
  My greatest downfall is my brain. I over think stuff way too much, and sometimes I end up driving myself crazy. So, when bad things happen, I just need to take my mind off of it, and not really think about it as much, because I know that if I do, I'll blow it way out of proportion and totally freak myself out. So wen I was able to go over to Andie's house, and spend time with the family, it really, really helped me because when I'm with them, I can still be thinking about the bad thing, but all of the kids and everyone just distract me enough that I don't blow it out of proportion. So Andie, if you happen to be reading this, I would just like to send my eternal gratitude to you and Kevin for supplying me, essentially, a mental safe haven. Without you and your amazingness and your amazing children I would've gone crazy over night.
  So while I was there, I had quite a good time with all the kids. By the time I got there it was the majority of the kids bedtimes so it was mostly just Liz, Malachi, Nic and I. We were outside for a little bit because Liz and I insisted so we went out and sat in the middle of the road (because there were really no cars) while Malachi threw tiny crab apples at us. When the mosquitoes became too overwhelming we three went back inside and watched stuffs on Netflix for the rest of the night with Andie. By 1am we all went to bed, and I was resting assured that my Aunt was going to be okay. The next morning everyone was pretty much up bright and early. We all had breakfast at various times and then everyone pitched in to clean the house a little. After that we were waiting for the time to come when we left to go to church and we all just sat in the living room listening to Nic and Malachi make music. Oh my goodness, was it lovely. I love listening to live music, even if it is just two guys sort of just jamming on the piano and the guitar. I could have sat there forever and listened to them. It was so glorious. At about 11 we all packed up in the van and took off to church. I do quite enjoy being apart of the church that we all go to. It really makes me incredibly happy to know that church is the one that I've been apart of since I was about 5. So then after church we all went back home and my dad came and picked me up and I spent the rest of the evening with my family, keeping my Aunt company. In a nutshell that was pretty much what my weekend consisted of. I got back home at about seven and completely crashed for about two hours, and now here we are!
  I want to get something straight here, just because I was thinking about it. I don't want it to seem like I'm not concerned for my aunt. It might seem that way because I'm not freaking out any more. This is really taking a huge toll on me, I am just not good at expressing my emotions a lot of times, and honestly, I don't want people to see me vulnerable. I hate crying in front of people, including my family. I'm the strong happy one of everyone in my life. Yes, I'm highly concerned for my aunt, but I know that she is in Gods hands, and those are the best hands she could ever be in. After hours and hours of praying, I'm putting all my faith into God to keep her safe through the night, and each day as she is on her way to recovery. I'm so happy that she getting better. God can do great things if you just trust him. Of course I'm still constantly praying, and I'd like to ask you all to pray for her as well. Even if you don't pray, just keep her in your thoughts. She needs all the support she can get. Thank you so much everyone!
  Thats about it for tonight!

I love you all so stinking much! God bless you all!

It's the Weekend!!

HELLO EVERYONE!
  How has your week been? Mine has been pretty good for the most part, except for the part where I got sick, but I don't really mind. I'm toughing it out, and just trying to get myself better before finals next week! I think it's funny because the day that I started getting sick, I had gotten my 2 year perfect attendance award from my school and I was just thinking "Yeah, this is because I'm awesome and I never get sick." The next day I was sick. Oh, world. What a fantastic sense of humor you have! <3 Really, it's no big deal. I got sick about this time last year and I was fine with it after about a week. Granted I was sick until September or October, but you know. Whatever. I've been drinking crap tons of tea. I had two cups I think yesterday, and so far today I've had three. I'm probably going to make some more once I'm done writing this. I'm kind of slightly in love with tea at the moment. This is just because its such a delightful beverage! Wouldn't you agree??
  Anyway, the last full week of school is finally over! That means it's finally the weekend! WHOO HOO!! Going into Finals week I have all straight A's in my classes right now. I'm slightly freaking out about it I'm so happy. I've never had an A in some of the classes that I'm in so I'm like: 'WHEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!' So, yeah, that's pretty exciting. I'm getting ready for finals next week! I do quite enjoy how my school alternates with 2 finals one day, and two finals the next, then the other two the third day, and the last two on Friday. My school does the four block system where we have four classes one day (A green day) and then four other classes the next (a gold day) and we alternate back and fourth. (Just so you know) Sometimes I like the way that they do that, sometimes it can be frustrating. I've got some study packets to do for Spanish, and chemistry. I have loads of flash cards to go through for Econ, and a paper to do for Geometry, and then I have a book to read for English, along with going through a study guide for health. I'll be doing all those tonight, tomorrow, Sunday, and Monday! Woot!
  Monday is Memorial Day, so I have school off, but I still have to get up slightly early because I am in the parade with the band. I get to march again and I'm stoked! I haven't marched in such a long time and I'm so ready for marching band to start up, so this is just a little taste, and then June practices for Marching band start on the next Monday!! But for me Tuesday, because I have a mission trip meeting on Monday that I have to go to. Which I'm also excited about because I will finally be able to see my GSM people there again! It's been a week(ish) since GSM was let out, and I miss everyone sooooooo much!!! I just want to see everyone and hug them and tell them I love them, and then hug them again and then never let go. Cause that's just how I roll!
  So yeah! That's pretty much all I can think about for now! I don't really know what I'm going to do with the rest of my evening. Probably watch a movie, and talk to people. Honestly, I don't know what I'm going to do with my weekend. GSM is done so I can't go there on Sunday, which makes me sad, but I must deal with it. Sigh. I'm going to just tough out the next week and then see how everything goes, and see if I can see people anytime soon. (Honestly, by 'people' I mean Malachi and his family. I miss them all bunches.) That's it now!
Have a lovely evening everyone!!

I love your magnificently beauteously amazing faces!!!

Out with the Negativity!

So hey again!
  Recently I have been made aware that I complain a lot. Granted this was by a person who doesn't like me very much, but I've come to realize she is kind of right. I think of it as even if I'm just playfully complaining, it's still complaining never the less. With so much complaining I've never really stopped to see the real beauty in the world, though I know it's there. Because I complain so much, I never really take the time to see the real happiness and beauty in the world, because there is. No doubt about it. I'm just going to write a little on my thoughts about me and complaining, and negativity.
  See, when it comes to me and people, I'm not the biggest fan. I kind of don't really care about what they think of me, and I don't really enjoy knowing that I have to socialize with people. But I do manage, somehow to learn to love so many of them, and I keep those people close, and I love them unconditionally. (All y'all know who you are!) When it comes to other people I don't know, or don't like, all I can think is "Get away from me. Don't touch me, don't talk to me. Just go away." Sometimes, well a lot of times, I end up complaining about people to those people that I actually enjoy being with. I complain about people, I complain about how much I don't like school (which in the long run, I realize that I don't actually hate school), I complain when I'm sick, and I complain about a lot of things. When I complain to them, I think "Oh, their my friends. I can do that" but I suppose that's not all it. I sometimes complain about people who complain because to me, I get so annoyed with them it's not even funny. I've come to realize that I'm technically one of those people, and I'm going to correct myself. I don't need to complain all the time. I'm not going to burden other people with my problems. They probably have a bunch of problems of their own. Also, they probably feel exactly the same about people who complain as I do. You know what that means?? They don't like it when I complain.
  So in the long run, I'm kind of being a hypocrite. I find myself being a hypocrite a lot actually. Just in little things too. Like one thing, 9 times out of 10 I cannot stand when people touch my face, my hair, and sometimes I just don't like it when people touch me. The thing is, I love touching people. It's how I show my affection for them most of the time. If I touch your face constantly, if I randomly poke you, or tease you, or hug you constantly, you know that I like you and I'm comfortable with being around you. You can touch my face sometimes, if you want, but not my hair. I have never liked it when people touch my hair! That's just a little example I suppose. A bigger example is my complaining. I complain and complain and complain, and I don't like it when people complain to me, or anyone for that matter. So it's time to stop that!
  I've decided that I'm not going to complain, or be negative. It's going to be very hard, but you know what? It's going to change me. I'm going to change for my benefit and honestly the benefit of everyone in my life, because I don't need to be negative, or complain. I'm going to look at life in this perspective: Whatever happens, happens, and it happens for a reason. I'm going to do everything cheerfully, and I'm not going to complain about it. No more hating people, no more complaining about them. I'm going to love each and everyone of them. You know why? Because this is what God would want me to do! Whoo!
  I doth believe that wraps it up for tonight!

I love you! I love your face! Do something fantastic and have a lovely rest of your evening!! ♥ ☻ ☺

My Evening!

Hello World!
  Sorry I was unable to post one last night. I was planning on doing so, I even had half of it all typed up and then I got to leave the house really early to go visit Andie in the hospital, then after that I was at karaoke the rest of the night with my family, and some friends, where there was no interwebz so I could not finish my blog for yesterday and I was quite disappointed.
  So to fill you in on all my evening activities I'm writing this, and then I'll probably be writing another blog tonight full of a bunch of random stuff because I think quite a lot.
  Last night was quite loverly I might say. Like I said we left pretty early, around 5ish, probably earlier, to go to the Elkhart General Hospital to visit Andie (If you don't know who that is already she's like my other mother, and our families are really close, and I'm dating her son) in the hospital. She had just gotten out of surgery and had been awake for about an hour. My step-mom and I stopped to get her these really pretty lilies and when we got there we gave them to her and some cards with lots of love, and our demented sense of humor. We stayed and visited for a while, waiting on her husband to come to the room. No one knew where he was, and we were all kind of slightly freaking out. Stephanie tried to call him, and text him, and message him on Facebook, to no avail. We also tried calling Malachi to see if he knew where he was. Nope. It was a while before we realized he might be still down in the recovery waiting room. So we were just about to go down there to find him when he showed up in the room. There was kind of a sigh of relief from the room. So when he showed up we had been there for about an hour and we thought that we should go to Trivia and Karaoke with the family. So we bid Andie and Kevin goodbye and went to Trivia.
  There, we had our bunch of crazies to play trivia. That was the last week we were going to be able to come to trivia and karaoke for quite a while because my parents are in Les Mis at the South Bend Civic Theater and that was the last Wednesday they had off for about 9-10 weeks. So in honor of Les Mis being the reason we couldn't come again, we named our team 'Do you hear the chickens sing?' After one of the big numbers in Les Mis. We sat there singing while we played too, modifying the words. It was so much fun. We sang: "Do you hear the chickens sing? Singing the song of angry hens? This the music of the chickens who will not be here again." (Bah kaw!) Yeah.. We're pretty weird, if you hadn't noticed. When it came down to it, we got second place in the trivia competition and got a $15 dollar gift certificate for being in second place. Whoo!
  Then the rest of the night, from 8-11pm we had karaoke and it was much fun! We all love singing and there are some pretty freaking good singers we have in our group. Well pretty much all of our entire group are pretty amazing singers. It's fantastic. I sang 'Perfect' by P!nk, 'A Team' by Ed Sheeran, and 'Some Nights' by Fun. I had a lot of fun with everyone. I love spending time with those people because they are so awesome, and so funny, and I just love being with them.
  So I doth believe that is about it for last night. Again, I'm sorry I was unable to write last night. I guess I'm more apologizing to myself. Yeah..

I love all of your gorgeous faces! Be magnificently wonderful today, and do something great!

Coming to You Live From Geometry Class!

So hello everyone!
  Yes, I am in Geometry class right now. I have approximately 9 minutes before I actually should start packing up for the next class, and I probably wont have that much time to write tonight, so I figured "Why not??" So here I am! I finished my quiz that we just took and I'm just derping around on my computer listening to some awesome music and reading my aunt's blog.
  So, I'm only writing this right now because I don't know if I'll really have time tonight, and I kind of don't want to write it tonight! This is because I have the final band concert for the year tonight, and at this concert we play music and do a bunch of awards and everything for the band kids, and seniors in band that are graduating. It's their very last band concert for their high school career and everyone will be sad about it and stuffy stuff, and there will be a lot of crying. There always is. I don't know what my parents plans are for the evening, so I'm hoping to go home, and get a hold of them to let them know about all of this, and then if it's okay with them I'm just going to come back to the school right away and probably hang out with some of my friends because a lot of band kids like to stay after when we have concerts right after school. I mean why not? I honestly think it's better than having to go home and just sit around and then come right back. I see no point in it! So hopefully I'll be able to come right back to the school. I'll have to walk though. Walking is fun and I like it a lot.
  I'm kind of excited for this concert. We are playing a lot of really cool music, some songs include: 1812 Overture (Which has a reallllyyy cool back story and It makes me giggle!), Misty Mountains Cold (Which is the song that the Dwarves sing in the movie The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey), and a song called Among the Clouds (which I am playing percussion for! Wheee!). I'm really excited for everything, and to hear the concert band play as well. Along with the awards. I rarely get any awards, but I like being there for them being handed out, and the senior recognition because they do some really cool videos of them from when they were in 6th grade to now.
  Anyway! That's about all I have time for! I'm excited for tonight!!

I love all of your bootiful faces!! Stay amazing and special!!

It's a Monday!

Hello everybody and happy Monday!
  Hey guess what!? It's another Monday! But guess what again! It's my last Monday for the school year! I'm so excited! Don't get me wrong. I like school because I do quite enjoy learning sometimes. Only sometimes though. I know that going to school is going to help me in the future. As you can see, I'm not like other high school students who just go through school saying "When is this ever going to apply to real life?" I don't like those kids. Why can't kids just like learning so you know stuff in the future?? Now, don't get me wrong, I don't like some of my classes sometimes. I do on occasion not like school, but overall I do quite like learning. See the thing is, I only don't like school because I don't really like people. Especially when I have to see the same people every single day for 180 days. I like spending time with some people, but not the same people very single day. After a while I just can't stand it. So I'm going to be glad to get away from everyone, but then again I know that when summer starts I'm going to be lying on the floor of my bedroom complaining about how I hate being antisocial. Yeah, I contradict myself a lot.
  Anyway! Yeah, Monday was pretty cool! It wasn't too bad as they usually are! Now, I'm just sitting at home in the living room because my brother's not home so I can actually watch stuff! Yay! I'm watching a really, really cool show called Best Ink. It's like those make up artist shows like Face Off, but for tattoo artists. It's really cool to watch how they develop each tattoo, and what work actually goes into it. I enjoy watching it. Also, Pete Wentz is the host. It's pretty darn awesome.
  Now I'm going to finish this episode and then then I'm going to go vacuum the house as my parents requested because I love them! Sorry I don't have that much to write about today. My brain is sort of derping out on me right now. I can't really think straight, but that's probably because I'm also trying to watch Best Ink while I'm trying to write this. So many distractions! My brain hurts.
  Alright all! Peace Out!

I love all of your beautiful faces!! Stay wonderful!

Happy Sunday!

So hello to everyone who might be reading this!
  I'm going to write this very quickly, because my fingers are all jittery and I'm like a typing machine right now! Whooo! I don't really know why though.
  Today is Sunday. I do quite enjoy Sundays because the evening portion of my regular Sunday includes going to the Youth Group at my church! I love it! I love getting to hang out with a bunch of cool awesome people and It's just so much fuuunn!  I'm waiting to leave for that right now, so I thought I should do a quick blog while I have a little time!
  This morning I actually woke up on time for breakfast, which never really happens on the weekends but apparently my body doesn't like sleeping in past 10AM on the weekends anymore. I mean, whatever, but I do kind of like sleeping in. I did actually enjoy getting to eat breakfast with my parents and then watch church on the computer because we didn't feel like actually driving all the way out to Granger. So we stayed in and watched a really good service. I love my church. It makes me so stinking happy, it't not even funny. I love being apart of a church that accepts everyone no matter what, and shows what God's love is really like. It makes me really super happy whenever I feel that love because I really can feel it, and its the greatest thing in the world. (If anyone doesn't know what church I attend with my family its Granger Community Church<3)
  Then after church stuff I went to my room and typed out my English paper, which I still have yet to come up with a conclusion for because I don't really know what to say, but I will be working on it tonight. I really need to get it done so I can print it out in the morning and turn it in third block. I have a really good feeling about this paper, because I did what I do with papers like this and write it out first, then type it out. Every paper I have done that with has gotten only one point docked off because of just little grammatical errors. Not this time!!!I will try and get to as close as a perfect as possible!
So that's that! I am now at church so I'm going to go try and be social and stuff! Yeah!

I love all you're beautiful faces!! Stay Awesome!!

Garage Sales.. Garage Sales Everywhere!

Good Evening everyone!!
  Sometimes I do a lot of stuff in the weekends. Like last weekend. That entire weekend felt like an entire week packed into three days. It was crazy, but I had a lot of fun with so many people. It was great. There are occasional weekends where I do nothing but sit on my butt and stare at my computer screen because I can't drive and my parents are just like "We aren't going anywhere!" Sometimes I'm okay with that! On occasion, well, most of the time I don't like not doing anything. I hate sitting around most of the time. It makes me feel like a lazy bum and I just want to go everywhere and run in circles and talk to people and do stuff. Today was kind of one of those days, but I didn't really do that. I didn't go anywhere, nor will I be going anywhere, but I did get to get out of the house for a while.
  My step-mom randomly came into my room and said "So hey, want to go to a bunch of garage sales?" YES! I love garage sales! Even if they are kind of 'pleh', I still love them! There are about 200 in my subdivision along with the subdivision next to mine right now. Okay maybe that's a little bit of a stretch, but there are a lot. So we got out of the house and walked around to all of the garage sales in the subdivisions and we found some stuff. We were out for about an hour and a half, maybe a little more. But regardless we had a lot of fun just walking around. It was really hot, but we endured it and kept going! After a while I was tired and my head hurt so we hit the last two that we saw and then walked back home. It was a lot of fun! I love going to garage sales, if you hadn't picked up on that. It's like Goodwill.. Next door to me. It's great.
  Then after that I came home and got food and I still wasn't really feeling good. So I put on some music and curled up into my bed and fell asleep for an hour. I love naps. They are so refreshing. Though I do feel a lot better my head still kind of hurts, even though I did take drugs to fix it there's still that lingering pain that you just wish would go away. You know what I mean? It's so annoying and I wish it would go away. I hate it so much! So I just plan on spending the evening lying around, because I actually want to now, and writing, and talking to people, and watching movies and stuff. The one thing that I'm cautious about doing all of this is my brother. I don't know exactly where he is, but I'm thinking he's sleeping. Don't get me wrong, I love him, but he's kind of a jerk when it comes to me being in the living room. So, I don't know if everything will go exactly according to plan, he might come up and kick me out, but I won't go down without a fight. I hate not being able to just sit and enjoy myself in the living room. I do quite enjoy coming out of my room sometimes.
  Anyway, that's about it! I'm going to go try and write another blog now for a different blog that me and my aunt started together! I can't think straight right now, so I kind of have writers block. I'll come up with something eventually though.
  So I hope everyone had a lovely morning, and has a wonderful rest of their day!

I love all your bootiful faces!! Dare to be different!

Jazz Cafe!

HELLO WORLD!!
  Sorry for my subtlety about everything! I think I have so much caffeine in my system right now that the only way of possibly getting rid of it would probably be running around the house a couple of times. But I'm tired and I don't really feel like doing that as of now!
  So sorry that I'm posting this so late, I literally just got home after working at a cafe for a local schools band concert! When I got home after school I came in, and set my stuff down and then walked right back out the door. The entire evening I was spending time with my other 'family' which is really just my step-moms best friends/my boyfriends family! I love them so stinking much! I could spend every day with them. No, I think that's a lie. I would probably end up killing one of them after a few days! Just kidding! But seriously..
  Anyway! A local school district, Concord, had their annual big Jazz Cafe, which is a 4 hour long concert full of amazing Jazz bands, and artists, or ensembles, and food and coffee and stuff! It was a lot of fun! Malachi, Liz, and their step-brother Nick were all in it, Malachi was in it several times but that's just because apparently he's quite the social flutterbye. I was there on behalf of the coffee shop that my dad works at, manning the coffee drinks and stuff with Malachi's mom Andie, and her husband Kevin. They are both quite amazing people and I love spending time with them, as stated before! Along with all that, while running the coffee drinks and such I got to listen to some awesome Jazz music, watch Liz, Nick, and Malachi perform, along with hanging out with all three of them, and meeting a bunch of new people. It really was quite a loverly night and I had a lot of fun. Then they let me have some coffee afterwards and I was spinning in circles and playing with a tuba mouthpiece for about a half an hour and that kept me pretty occupied! It was quite amazing!
  So yeah, I know that's not a lot to write, but I think that's all I really have to write. I just love meeting new people, and talking to them, and being social, even though nine times out of ten I will be antisocial and curl up in a corner and be by myself. When I do get to talking to people, I never regret it. Except this one time where I walked into a really awkward conversation between some pretty interesting high school girls. It was kind of slightly scary! That's beside the point!
  I'm writing this as the very first thing I do when I arrived as I got home. At least I wrote one! That's all I'm trying to prove to myself! That I can remember to write one every day, or close to it because I probably will write another one later like, late at night. So there!
  I think that wraps everything pretty much up!

I love all your beautiful faces!! Stay amazing, and wonderful, and fantabulous!!

Schoolwork and Evening activities!

Good afternoon to all who might be reading this!
   So, if you haven't figured it out yet, today is Thursday! Yaaayy! I've never figured out why, but I love Thursdays. Unless I'm in a terrible mood and all I want to do is curl up into a ball and die. Then I'm not the biggest fan of Thursdays. Or any day for that matter! ANYWAY! Today was not one of those days, so it was actually pretty good! I got school work and stuff done, which I feel very proud of myself for! Nine times out of ten I end up procrastinating stuff so much that I'm not really prepared for the next class. Then when I get there I sit down and say "Well crap, I totally forgot to do that!" and then I'm slightly screwed! Unless it's Geometry. I can do geometry homework in about 2 minutes, so I'm good with that if I procrastinate. Today I actually did stuff before hand! I did all of my Economics flash cards, and I got about a third of my big paper for English done, which I will finish later! I'm kind of liking the feeling of getting stuff done. I like that feeling all the time, I just don't like doing any work. It makes me angry, but I do know that I do need to work on stuffy stuff for classes and such, so I do the homework when I know I need to.
  So yeah, that was most of my school day. Last night I had a lot of fun with my family! Like I said, I really do love spending time with them any time. We had food and stuff, and then we played Trivial Pursuit. My dad even played for a little while! And He never plays games with us! He just doesn't like losing! I think it's slightly funny, but that's probably just me being his daughter. I heard about how much I am my fathers daughter last night after he went to go do work. About every 5 minutes I would inevitably do something where my step-mom would always just look at me and say "You are so just like your father!" I just smiled. The reason being because I am. I take after my father quite a lot. It can be quite amusing sometimes! Well after we were done playing that game we all went outside and burned stuff (including dandelions because my aunt found it incredibly fascinating when she did. Which it totally was!) and we just sat and talked for a little bit until the family had to go! It was a lot of fun! Besides the fact that I now have approximately ten mosquito bites on my legs and they itch so much!!! So annoying!!
  All together I had a good evening last night, and a good day today! We'll see how the rest of the evening goes, and how tomorrow plays out, but I really don't feel like worrying about anything because there really isn't anything to worry about. Whatever happens, happens!

I love all your Beauteous faces! Stay awesome!

Oh, the Angst of Being a Teen!

Hello world!
  So, if whoever is reading this doesn't mind, I think I'm going to be a real teenager for a little bit here. You know, talking about the amazing guy that I'm dating, and the ups and downs to this being my first real relationship! So, bear with me!
  So a little over a month ago this incredibly fantastic guy by the name of Malachi asked me out. He is seriously one of the greatest people that I have ever met, and I'm not just saying this because he's my boyfriend. Seriously, he is. I don't care what he says, or what anyone else says. I love spending time with him, and I really really look forward to every opportunity that I do get to spend time with him. See, the thing is he lives in a completely different school district, and he lives like 25 minutes away, so unlike every other high school relationship we don't get to see each other every single day. Yes, it kind of stinks, but it is what it is.
  Like I said, when I do get to spend time with him, it's like the greatest thing in the world because he makes me so freaking happy. Most of the time I look forward to just being able to talk to him because my only communication with him is Facebook, which does kind of suck, but like I said: it is what it is. Every time I get to see Malachi, or even talk to him it makes me incredibly happy. Sometimes he doesn't even have to try, I'm just really happy knowing that I get to spend time with him, or talk to him.
  Tonight we were supposed to be able see each other at church, but sudden change of events: I can't go! Yay. There is like an entire dilemma where my brother's car battery died so he needs to take the car, so instead of the usual Wednesday ritual where my family and I and some of our friends go to karaoke (In which this week I was going to be dropped off at church) we are spending the evening with my family at home. Yes, I am slightly disappointed and upset that I don't get to see Malachi any time soon. I've been looking forward to today all week and now everything has completely gone "BOOM! No Malachi for you!"
  Now, I know it may seem like I'm all upset about it, I mean I am, but I am kind of glad I get to see my family too. I love spending time with them as well! Honestly I get to see them more often than I get to see Malachi, but I won't complain! I'm happy I get to see my family. I really am. I love being with them. So I'm going to be happy regardless of my disappointment!
  I hope whoever is reading this understands that I'm not mad, or sad exactly, I'm just slightly disappointed! But I do suppose this is the last time I'm really going to be able to spend time with my family for a while because both my parents are doing a musical at a local theater! If you haven't heard of it, you are probably deprived. They are doing 'Les Miserables'! Yay! My Daddy was cast as Jean ValJean! THE LEAD ROLE! I'm really excited that he got that part because he is going to be freaking fantastic in it!! Anyway! I'm really happy I DO get to spend some time with my family, because I won't be seeing them as often for quite a while!
  Other than that little tid bit, my day was actually decent! Not too bad, not super good, but decent! I'm going to go make more origami flutterbyes and listen to music and talk to people now! Have a loverly rest of YOUR day!! Make it a good day!!

I love your beautiful faces!!

Hello World!

So hello world! Or you know.. Whoever might be reading this!

  My name is Aria Joy Salisbury, and I'm 15-years-old. I'll be turning 16 in August. I have 4 brothers and 1 sister, and I live with my step-mom and my dad. My step-mom, Stephanie, is a blogger as well, and she is an editor and she does stuff with editing things. And stuff. Yeah.. I'm really super out going, and honestly, I might as well just put it out there now: I like to talk. Talking is fun, though sometimes I don't like talking because it makes me feel self centered, and I like to hear about other people. I have an interesting sense of humor that I quite enjoy. I don't know if other people enjoy it as much as I do, but I highly doubt they actually do. I am really close with my family. I am just a family person. I would rather spend time with my family than with my friends. I love spending time with the women of my family most of all. These include My step-mom, her sister Savannah, and my grandma on my step moms side. Along with other women we have adopted into our family, like our close friend Marla Pew. All of these women are amazing and I love spending time with them so much! 

  So that's just a little about me! Just so you know some stuffs!
  I am just starting this blog so that I have some dedication to something, or some discipline, I suppose. I have tried to start about three other blogs and I get so distracted and I don't have any commitment to them. I am going to change that! I am going to try and discipline myself to write on this blog every day for maybe a year, or more. I don't know, we'll see how it goes. I'm just trying to prove something to myself. I sort of flake out on a lot of things, like trying new things. This may not be super new to me, but I'm going to actually try and stay dedicated to it.
  So I'm just going to try and write a little bit every day. It may not be a lot, but just my thoughts on things, or whatever comes to mind, or maybe just stuff about my day. All I need is something to dedicate myself to, and I've decided that this is it. I'm going to dedicate myself to writing, maybe after school everyday. Who knows, but this is happening! So whoever might be reading this, you are awesome, and thank you! If no one is reading this, then so what! I'm just trying to find something other than school, and a select few people to stay involved with every single day. So that is all I do believe!

I love all your beautiful faces!!
