I'm Thankful For.....

Thanksgiving is right aroung the corner, tomorrow actually, and I am thankful for a lot of things. I am thankful for the opportunities and blessing and talents given to me by God. For my home and my wonderful family and for my and all of my family's health. I am also thankful for the clothes and food that we are fortunate enough to have. I am thankful for the good times and things that I have been able to do and also for being fortunate enough during the economic troubles. I am also thankful for being able to live in such a country of freedom and opportunity. And again for all of my fantastic family, distant or close, for being so supportive, healthy, and loving. May everyone's thanksgiving be safe and enjoyable! God Bless!

P.S. What are you thankful for?

Happy Birthday Ta Ta!! I love you!!

I'm Back!!!

Hi everyone! I'm so sorry for the huge delay and that I haven't been updating my blog, but here I am now! So let me catch you all up! I had a birthday on Thursday and I turned 16! I still can't beleive it and does anyone know if you're supposed to feel different? Because I don't at all! Here's the real kicker! At the beginning of the month, my grandparents came over to spend the weekend with us. They went out for the afternoon with my parents to go get my mom "a new chair" as they said. But when they came back I looked out there to see the chair, but no chair! Instead, behind our truck was a red Saturn Ion with balloons! They bought me a car!! I couldn't believe it and I cried! So I finished up drivers ed on my birthday ironically, and I'm hoping to take my drivers test to get my licsense next week! If only we weren't so stinking busy!!! AHHH! But I'm trying to be as patient as possible! Oh and for everyone who called me or sent cards regarding my birthday, thank you so much for thinking of me and I really appreciate it! It was very nice of you! Also on my birthday, my varsity jacket came in! How funny and of all days for it to come in! Halloween was fun too. I don't trick or treat anymore, though fun as it is, but now I help out my mom and dad by passing out candy. It has also become a tradition that my best friend Sam comes over and hands out candy with me. We still both dress up and have a great time. This year I was a little pressed for time with my costume, but it surprisingly came out looking awesome! I was a boy for halloween and all I had to do was raid by brother's closet! My dad said that he trully didn't know that it was me at first! And school is going well, just trying to hang in there and make through the year, but that's high school for ya! Volleyball season is over, and I have my banquet on Monday, and guess what starts on Tuesday? GYMNASTICS! It's a never ending cycle of activities! I am going to make a conscience effort to update more and keep everyone up to date! Thanks again for being to patient with me!!
