June 1st

Hey! Yesterday was memorial day/ my dad's birthday. One of my CLOSE friends brought a birthday cake for him. And...I was shocked. I was soo happy! :) I loved it so much. Well, for his birthday...we did't really do anything! Oh well :)

In any case, we're leaving for Alaska on Thursday...I can't wait! We've got a lot of packing to do still...Tomorrow I have a lot of work to do. So, I won't be on my computer much. First, wake up, exercise, shower, pack, give binky a bath, go shopping...a lot of stuff ta doo! :)

SO. Nothing much to write about now! But, I'll blog again tomorrow! If I have time :)

Hey guys! I just got home from church and decided to write to you :) The sermon was a...sobering topic. It was about heaven and hell. The chapter reading was Luke 16:19 - 31...I would suggest that you read that passage, and meditate over it in your spare time :)

Now...My family and I are going on a week long cruise to Alaska. SO, I won't be able to blog during that time. However, I am going to keep a journal while I am traveling, and write about all the exciting little details :) I will post them on my blog as soon as I get back...we're leaving on Friday or Thursday, my mom hasn't decided if she wants to stay in a hotel the night before we leave.

Since it's the middle of the day right now, I guess I don't have much to write about...however, there is one thing that I thought you might find amusing - We recently had our pool "remodeled". Well in the middle of April workers started working on it...they haven't finished yet. They were supposed to have it done in a matter of weeks...so much for that : / In any case, our pool started growing algae in it, so my mom decided to shock the pool...This morning, we walk out there, and we see our polaris (the little underwater vacuum that runs along the bottom of a pool) all tangled up...My mom turns to me and asks me to untangle it, since I'm already in my pajama's, and she's dressed. So, I lean over, and try to take it out...in that process, I get sprayed with water, and I was soaked...I walk in the house, glaring at my mom claiming that "that thing is EVIL". For those of you who don't know me, you wouldn't find this very amusing, because there is a whole other story behind this. See, when we first moved into this house, dad and I would have to untangle that thing all the time...But, every time we went out there, we would both end up being soaked because of it's "evil" attributes...that polaris would only chase dad and I around the pool, and no one else :)

Well...that wasn't very funny...it was just something to fill up the page ;)

Hello :) I need to make this blog more of a daily thing, huh? Well, just to let you know (those of you who are reading) that I greatly appreciate your comments :) I've been writting this blog for a while now, but not very many people have commented, haha. Oh well, it's great either way, I just love getting everything out of my system. :)

So what's new? My brother is away for the weekend, and so, mom and I have the house to ourselves...Now, see, I would use the situation as a time to have a "girl weekend" and have fun. I wake up this morning, and I ask mom what we're doing. She says - Cleaning the house. Great. So excited >:-/ Well, we still had fun together today. I just turned off the TV so my mom could go to sleep. We were watching Jurassic Park...haha. I don't know about you guys, but even though I am a teenager, I still have nightmares, and I still get scared in the middle of the night. I've seen waaayyy to many horror movies. I don't even know why...But in any case, that being said, I am not scared of Jurassic Park, haha. Just...creepy stuff...and no, dinosaurs are not creepy :)

So. Last night, I had an emotional breakdown. I completely lost it...Oh...how I love being a teenager...NOT. :) But hey, can't avoid it! This is rather random, but since we're talking about age this reminds me of a time when I was talking to daddy, and I asked him how old he was...and he said 53. I laughed at him, and told him he was in his 60's. Then after a pause, I said "wait a minute!! YOU used to be FIFTY???" I was 4 years old at the time, and I thought people (adults) stayed the same age the rest of their life...oh...how weird was I?

Well...I guess I'll draw this to a close! Thanks for the comments!!

P.S. - My mom is much much better, in case you were wondering if she's actually recovered. But yes, she is much better now, and we're looking forward to Alaska!!!

Hello! :) well, this has not been the best week for me or my family. My mom was taken to the hospital at 3:00 this morning...I didn't fall asleep till 2:00, so I only got 1 hour of sleep :) Haha, in any case, what was wrong? The doctor's can't tell for sure, but we think that she may have been dehydrated to the point of being in as much pain as she was. And this isn't your everyday kind of pain. She was having SEVERE pain...soooo...I made her stay in bed all day, but I did clean the house up, and did the laundry, and fed her, so...I didn't goof off all day :) But lemme tell ya, being a mom, and doing what they have to do is exhausting!

My dad's birthday is in 4 days. And I don't know if we're going to do something in memory of him, or what...But I sure hope everyone remembers...

Alaska trip - right on schedule! We'll be leaving in 9 days :) Can't wait!
