Blog Letters: Beach Vacation - Day Five - "Bike Rides And More Pizza"

 I awoke to the cabin coming to life. Sunshine through the windows, voices from the kitchen, coffee brewing, and creaking of floor boards. I rolled over giving one last thought to staying in bed and them decided to get up and find coffee. After retrieving my beverage I sat down at the table and visited with my Uncle while Dad cooked up pancakes and sausage. We all ate the delicious breakfast and got ready to go for a bike ride.
 With air in all the tires, day packs ready and water bottles filled the six of us (and Roman) took off for the discovery trail that you can enter at the Seaview approach. It was a lovely day for a ride and the it was a nice trail that went through the dunes and was an easy ride so you could just enjoy the views.

                                                               The views were cool

When we returned from the ride we decided to head down to Wakikki beach area for pizza there is a really cool pizza guy in the store by the campground he has a great personality and is super friendly and kind. It gives your more of the feel of eating at someones house instead of at a restaurant, plus  his pizza is really tasty and it has fun outdoor seating.

To work off our pizza we went from the pizza place down to the ports in Ilwaco to look at the boats. It was such an exciting atmosphere as the fisherman were coming in from a hard days work and the farmer's market was shutting down for the day. It seemed like you were walking through another world. One of my favorite things I did when I walked through the port and look to see where all the different boats where from and guess what kind of adventures they where having.

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 ...
