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!

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 ...
