My Little Town

  I live in a little town called Latah about an hour from Spokane. I moved here when I was about 3 and I have always loved it. Here is a little glimpse into my small town world.
  1. Everybody is your neighbor not just the people who live next door :) Also everybody knows you pretty much and they are always looking out for you and it is really nice to know that.
  2. I love our church, I have grown up in our church and I have learned and experienced so much in that church. I also have created amazing friendships out of that church that will hopefully last a life time.
  3. The freedom to walk around town, to go for a bike ride by yourself and not be worried for your safety is amazing and I am so blessed this is where I got to grow up.
4. Our small town celebrations, all the towns around here have at least one celebration that has been going on for years or a couple years. It can sometimes be challenging to get it organized, but I always enjoy going and really feeling that small town atmosphere.  In a town like Latah it can sometimes feel like Mayberry or Walnut Grove.
5. The beauty, my town is gorgeous year round whether we are covered in snow or waking up from winter, or the fields are all ready to be harvested it is gorgoues. God had a lot of fun creating the palouse I think.
6. The memories I have made and are still making. Sledding days with neighbors,  climbing into the back of the truck with shovels and digging out the town, delivering May day baskets to neighbors, and watching James drive his peddle tractor down the road. These are just to name a few.
No, I am pretty sure God knew what he was doing when he placed my family here. I love to travel, but as of yet I haven't found a place I would rather live.

    I love this! My favorite line is where you said "God had a lot of fun creating the Palouse!" TOTALLY agree!

What I am Learning as a Student Rep

    Student Representative? What's that? It is a great  role that one girl and one boy run for every year at my co-op. Last year two of my wonderful friends were elected. Rachel and Jakob did a fantastic job. They are part of the reason I decided to run for Student Rep this year.     To start this road of politics I had to write a speech. I spent some time trying to figure out what I wanted to say. I knew what I wanted to say, but I felt like I couldn't phrase it convincingly enough. In the end I decided to state a few ideas I had and not over promise. I went with the idea that we could worry about the election and then go from there with what we wanted to do as a group.     It was a fun election and in the end I was elected the girl student rep. Luke, the boy student rep won as well and he is such a great guy to work with. I have enjoyed getting to know him and sharing ideas back and forth. Luke is so funny, smart and has fantastic ideas about what ...

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...

The One Where I go to Prom...

 Huge weekend, everyone! I had the first of my last dance recitals and then I left immediately for Senior Prom. With my best friend since childhood. How did this homeschooled girl get so lucky as to go to a Senior Prom? Well, it starts with having an amazing guy. I have no idea what is with my face in this picture  When I was three years old we became friends with this amazing family. They had a son my age and we became close friends. We even did kindergarten together, we go camping every summer with them, we did band together and we took some senior pictures together. We keep in contact and hang out, but not as much as we used too, due to the changing seasons in each of ours lives and the busyness of being Seniors.  About a month ago, when I got back from Oklahoma. I came back from dance one night and Mom said I needed to call Brandon. I figured it had something to do with graduation and coordinating getting together or something along that line. So, I called ...
