Blog Letters: Beach Vacation - Day 6 - "Leaving And Cousins"

It was a sad morning of packing up and cleaning as we prepared to make our departure from the cabin, after we loaded up the trailer and said good - bye to Uncle Rick and Auntie Al we all climbed into the jeep and drove off.

A great surprise that I wasn't expecting was getting to see my cousins when we stopped at the farm. They have just moved from South Carolina and I hadn't seen them in a while or had the chance to meet my newest cousin Henry. He is so adorable I can't wait to get to know him better over the years. I had a really fun time reading books with Mary Katherine and visiting with Abby, getting to know here better. They are two really sweet girls I am a very lucky cousin.

Finally we had to say our good byes there too and continue on into the smoke ( seriously guys what did you guys do while I was gone?) and finally pulled into our driveway about 11pm. Thanks for reading about my trip and be sure to leave any comments you want below. My facebook posts reached to 78 people this week, it is overwhelming thank you so much!
                                                 Vacations wear me out apparently

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 ...
