I am Back!!!

Okay so I know I have not posted anything on this blog for 10 months now, but I promise life is going good. 

To start I am about to finish 8th grade (in 4 weeks now, AHHHHH!).  I have had some hard times and some great times.  For a start both of my only friends left this year, but I have a wonderful Language Arts teacher that is one of the most amazing people I have ever met.  She actually took me to a writers festival in February and I got to meet tons of authors.  I am so lucky to have her as my teacher, and I hope to keep a relationship with her throughout my life.  Geometry, what else can I say, it is practically torture every day, but I do have a lovely aunt who is a math professor who helps me.  Landmark has been my school for 6 years and I will be having to say goodbye this year, and to be honest I will miss it.  So much has happened to me in those walls.  I will miss you Landmark! But I am planning on visiting it whenever I can next year. 

Okay, I know this is a little random but it was really exiting (for me anyway), last year in October I got to meet one of my favorite authors, James Dashner.  He wrote The Maze Runner Series, which are some of my favorite books.  He was so cool and I hope he comes back again this year to talk about the next book in his new series ( The Mortality Doctrine Series).

What else... I got a pixie cut, we got a new dog (Charlie),  Oh yes, I get to go to (drumroll please) ...................... HAWAII!!!!!!!  My wonderful aunt in Hawaii is flying me out for my 8th grade graduation next month.  Actual a month from yesterday we are leaving.  I am SO SO SO excited!

And here are some lovly pictures from the past year. :)

Chace - Part 2

 These are just some pictures I found of Chace that are mostly tooken in the last two years.

 

 





 

 

 When my aunt and uncle brought Bella, their dog, over, after we had put Chace down, she searched the whole house for him.  It was heartbreaking I just wanted to beable to tell her that he was gone, that we would be able to see him again someday.  It made me realize that even a simple minded dog, like Bella, missed his little spirit.

I love you goodboy, I always will, every living soul who knew you will cherise the moments they got to spend with you.  I thank you for that, and know that your spirit is still looking out for the people you love.

Chace

Chace was my dog and when April came along he wasn't doing to well.  The night my mom told me that we would need to put him down with in the next two days I held him and cryed, but that would have never prepared me for the day to come.  I got home from school with hopes of one last day, but my mom told me 4:30, I had less than an hour.  I held him and cryed till that time came along.  I went with my dad and watched as his spirit was let free, back where he and I had come from.

I walked out of the vets in tears, knowing he was happy and healed, but knowing that I wouldn't be able to hold him until the day I would make my return to my home.  He was and will all ways be my goodboy forever.
       
          This was my attempt at a poem of my feelings at the last day of mine with Chace, my dog who we had adopted on 2010.  It is true that I watched his spirit leave him, in that room with my dad, a vet, and me.  I cannot express words of how much I love him and miss him, but I know that he is happy and free of his hurting, and he is always looking out for me.  Thru the gospel I know that he is free and happy and with my Grandma Sue who I know is watching over him.

He will always be a part of our family and our memories.

No Pictures....

          Sorry there hasn't been any pictures latly because the blog system won't let me right now.   I have been really wanting to, but haven't got to.
          Our Christmas was wonderful and I hope yours was too. :)

Christmas is Almost Here :)

I am so excited for Christmas this year.  All of my mom's family is coming out.  It is going to be one of the best Christmas's ever!

 I am so thankful for my family.  I don't know what I would do without them.  My brothers and sisters are my best friends and they always will.  A special thank you to my amazing family!

I hope you all have a great Christmas this year!

Temple Trip

                 On Tuesday of Thanks Giving break I got to go to the Denver Temple.  It was an amazing experience to get to go to the temple over break.  I got to babtize many people into the church.  It was an amazing experience!  I am so thankful I got to go.
