My Best Friend

Hello everyone!  Today I am introducing you to my best friend Grace Michelson she is 13 and amazing. She is a accomplished musician favorite instrument saxophone, an very talented artist, and she always makes me smile.
We have known each other since forever, and have gone through a lot. In the course of the countless years we have known eachother, we have done a million things. Family camping trips that started with our moms taking all of us kids camping ( Grace and me and our siblings) and now we all go, changing the camp name from mommy camp to Michelainen camp. More sleepovers then you can count, several baking days, days that we all went on field trips together, days we just hung out and did nothing but talk.
Most of all we make memories together. Like, Sarah her mom sneeking in to her room at one of our sleepovers after Abby and Cora had gone to sleep and she painted our nails, like us trying mochas for the first time with our moms, like us sleeping out on the fort in the summer, like me counting the days till she got back from Seattle when she turned 10, like Brandon having to climb up to the top of the play equitment to get us down because we got scared after climbing to the top, and most of all dancing at 6am in the morning to the radio in her grandparents milking barn when milking the cow!
Now our friendship hasn't always been perfect,  there was a time where I left Gracie and all her siblings which are like my siblings for another friend and I hurt them. But she was right there to catch me when that friend turned on me. Grace and her family are always there.
I also call Grace my bodyguard, my sister,  my friend she is always there, always has me and God has blessed me with this amazing girl that I am watching grow into a young woman. I remember crying in her empty bedroom when they moved from up the street to Priest River.  But even though we are far apart now, when I get together with Grace and her family it's like we have never been apart.  I love my 5 extra siblings!

The One Where I Graduate

Hey, Everyone! This girl did the thing, she got her diploma. Not without the help of some dear people. My teachers are incredible through the last few years at the co-op I have worked with me and taught me so many valuable and cherished lessons.  I have been blessed with a loving and hard-working Mother who has spent countless hours preparing and teaching lessons. She has spent time discussing, researching and praying over the best direction she needed to take with my education. My parents have encouraged me through any adventure I chose to embark on. They never let me believe I couldn't achieve whatever I set out to do. They taught me that hard work would always be rewarding, to always do best, and by example, they taught me to put others first and give when I can.  My brother James is truly the best brother in the world. He is my sidekick in life and we have had countless adventures together. He has shown me to accept whatever happens and be happy at the moment. He has taug...

Meet Riley!

 Hey, so you remember all those posts I did in July? Yeah, me either....I am sorry guys. Summer has been great! Full of adventures and fun. We had our VBS, celebrated the 4th, I had my college orientation (a hopeful future post), we went camping, and enjoyed many days outside in the sunshine. Along with all these fun summer activities, there has been an addition to our family.     Everyone, meet Riley! A fun-loving, three-year-old, German Sheppard. She came to us through Spokanimal, but she is originally from LA. There, she was found on the streets and had just had puppies. We don't know what happened to the puppies but are thrilled to have her in our family. Riley loves grass absolutely loves it. She rolls around in it all the time and wants to be outside as much as she can. So far, she has loved everyone she has ever been around. The first day we got her we had our VBS team and a couple guys came over and she loved them. Last week we had twenty band kids over for a c...

New Roads

Another adventure I have been up to is driving, I started driver's ed about 3 weeks ago and what and adventure it has been. Between navigating the DMV for my permit, learning to deal with teachers and classmates that are different from what I am used too. Not to mention the actual driving, hehee that has been entertaining. One of my first times out, there was an incident involving a Zip's parking lot, a turn lane and a learning what a drive thru lane is. Moral of story I now know what a turn lane is, everyone lived and I am sure that the guy in the drive thru wasn't in shock for long, whoops! Last night's adventure involved a car trying to cut me off, driving in too close at the gas station,  a imaginary person in the road and hitting a porcupine. (Which I actually cried over) What I am learning is that I am never going to be instantly perfect at something I am going to mess up. The important thing to remember is I have amazing parents here to help me learn, a class ...
