I have come to the conclusion that I kind of fail as a blogger. BUT, it's not entirely my fault. School (curse the word) has been keeping me very busy, and I don't have any time to get on the computer and type up something for an audience I'm not even sure is there to read.

NO, this is not a post saying I'm deleting my blog -- I would feel like even more of a failure -- but I'm just saying sorry for not being able to post regularly so far. Hopefully with time it will get better.

Moral of the Story

It's hard to update your blog every day during the school year.

School, School . . . and More School

Wow. While it's been a joy being back at school, I forgot how much of my time it took up. A LOT! I'm not complaining though. It's nice to always have something to do. Although I must admit that the homework does get a little boring after a while. But I'm going to try my hardest to stay caught up this year and not procrastinate or get behind! It's come close, but I haven't slipped too big yet!

A lot of fun things have happened over the past several days. Seminary, homework, birthday's, Doctor Who, dance, swim team, reading, HOSA, emergency drill's at the hospital, football games, volunteering, and lots more!

It was Kelsey's seventeenth birthday yesterday, and she got everything she wanted. It was a really good birthday for her! I made her lemon cupcakes, and I would tell you the present I got her, but I haven't finished making it yet, and in case she reads this I don't want to spoil the surprise! It's really nerdy, and she'll totally love it; although anyone else would think it was the weirdest thing ever. I think she'll appreciate it though.

I'm taking a short break from my homework to write this (it's getting a little hard to concentrate on my Spanish homework -- not the funnest homework in the world), so I can't take too long to write this. But I know I really need to get a post in! It's been too long!

I hope all of you who are reading this have had a good start to your school year (or a nice return to work after a good vacation) and are enjoying yourselves and doing well! Thanks for reading!

Peace Like A River.

Day Number 1:

Well, I suppose I'll start off by saying hello to everyone.

The reason I started this blog was because of my very influential friend; she thought I should try it out, so this is me trying out blogging. :)

My day so far? It's been no less than fantastic. Granted, I got up fairly early, but as Benjamin Franklin said: "Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise." I started out the day with Drivers Ed -- actually driving on the range. I was by myself, but it was fairly nice because I could focus more on staying inside the lines and not knocking over cones. (I'm very proud of myself: I only knocked over two cones, while practicing doing a backing figure 8 several times. It's harder than it seems!)

After Drivers Ed, I went with my good friend Kelsey to our friend Lizzy's house. But upon arrival, Kelsey realized she left her phone back at the range. So I ran with her to get her phone, and then walked back up the hill again. I can say I got my exercise for the day. ;)

We made the most delicious German pancakes, smoothies, and eggs at Lizzy's, with much laughter. MUCH. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. But what do you expect when you put a group of girls together? Certainly not silence.

Those are the highlights of my day so far, mostly because the day isn't over yet, but I figured I should get started on this blog. And I'm really glad that I started. I'm excited to see how this turns out! Thank goodness for friends that are such good examples, and supportive as well. I couldn't have better friends. :)
