The Next Years...

I just finished a 30 minute stretch then walked around my neighborhood. I feel great now. I think stretching is very peaceful. I try to do it every day, and I work on my splits all the time. I'm about half an inch from doing a full right split, which is super exciting for me!

Mostly everyone has told me I should become a ballerina and dance a lot more. I like to dance, but I don't think I'm that graceful (which mom denies). I wish I could get into a dance school and possibly a gymnastic school. Unfortunately, there aren't any gymnastic schools around here, but there are some ballet schools.

So... I've been thinking a lot about what I want to be when I grow up. Here's my list so far:

1. Ballerina and/or gymnast
2. Dolphin trainer
3. Eye doctor
4. Interior designer
5. Actress
6. Singer/Guitarist

I even have my college picked out. But whatever God plans for me is totally fine. I can't choose my life, because God might not what want I want. I guess we can't see eye to eye with God sometimes, but everything He chooses is perfect.

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.
Be not wise in your own eyes;
fear the LORD and turn away from evil."
 -Proverbs 3:5-7

To me that means do not be hopeful in yourself, but trust that the Lord will guide you through your days. "Be not wise in your own eyes" is a big verse for me. I'm trying hard not to think my way is perfect, and trust that His is.

I'm back

Hmm... I decided I'll start writing on my blog again. I liked to do this, and I still do. So. I got a lot to put down since my last post. Here goes.

First of all, I've started my wonderful fine arts school again. They have changed buildings, and I'm still getting used to the new one and my new class plan. Lots of homework for my new classes and lots of practicing. The only unfortunate thing is I have to wake up at 6am every Friday to get my stuff ready for the morning. But I always hear the school bus in the morning around 6:30 am and realize I don't have to do that every day. Just one day a week.

Here's my class schedule:

Arrive at 8am
Guitar 8 - 8:30am.
Keyboard 8:30 - 9:30am
BREAK!!!! 9:30 - 10am
Violin 10 - 11am
Photography 11- 12am
LUNCH BREAK!!! 12 - 12:30pm
Ballet/Tap 12:30 - 1:30pm
BREAK!!!! 1:30 - 2pm
Choir 2 - 3:30pm
Drive home.

I was supposed to take ballroom dancing at the time of my violin class, but I didn't really like it, so I switched.


I'm attempting to write a novel. It's called Aquafalz: The Hero Series. It's about a girl named Cleo Patterson, who is the daughter of mother nature.... (sounds boring, I know, but it's not like that). I'm hoping to get it published but first I have to finish it. And writing a book takes A LOT of time people, so think it over before you try to write one! And ideas don't just pop into your head. The name for the series was supposed to be Azarath, not Aquafalz. But guess what? Azarath is the name of a comic book series! How about that! And they're hero is named Raven... And that's my villain's name! I just thought that was funny because some of the rest of the characters in that series have names similar to my characters.

So Sorry!

Sorry for not writing! I was really busy. Let me put in some info.

I am going to my co-op. It is running smoothly. In violin I have some homework I have to finish up, which is copying all the music terms. In dance we are working on our dance for the end of the year. In choir we are singing the Beatles. And in art we are working on sketching.

I am really busy working on badges for AHG. So far I have to finish my archery badge. I got an archery set for Christmas! I also got a motor scooter which broke and Dad took it to Walmart and exchanged it.

Now I am working on founding a cookie shop. All the profits will go to charities. Well, some of it. The rest will cover costs of the supplies. I am hoping to raise lots of money. I am looking into charities. So far I have St. Jude's and Noah's Ark. Noah's Ark is a shelter for kids and animals in our town. It sounds like a great place.

Lots To Do

Hi!

I just came back from my literature class at my one-of-two co-ops. I had a whole month to read Tom Sawyer and I still hadn't finished it. I have 5 chapters left. Oh well, I got through the class and now I have to read about 6 poems and write one of my own. Whew! Then on top of that I have to get ready for co-op tomorrow.

We also had a coupon shopping trip at Publix. It turned out all right. We went and got 8 one pound bags of candy. They were buy one get one free and we had coupons.

I am going to be a donut for Halloween. I found the idea on the internet, and listed it on my favorite costumes and then crossed out the ones that I thought weren't the best. So it finally came down to a laundry basket and a donut. Even though my family thought the laundry basket was better, I wanted to be the donut. I am going to spray paint an inner tube and stick "sprinkles" on it.

Well, have to go. Bye!

Going Past The EDGE

Hi Everyone!

Today we went to church. I am so glad that we have found a church that we like. The last post I put had some information about it and I think I mentioned my friend goes to my church. Well, there is this middle school program called EDGE. I am going to go today. I sounds great and I can't wait. It is like CCD for older kids. But, my friend is in it too. Double Great!

That's all I have to say. I am going to post about it after I go to EDGE too. So stick around!

Lots and Lots of Exciting News

I am so sorry about not writing! I have been very busy over the last few weeks (and months!).

But, there is a lot to tell about.

1. We bought a new house

2. I redecorated my room

3. I am taking a Fine Arts co-op

4. We found a new church

Let me start with one. We were tired of looking at houses and mom and dad were just going to put an offer on this one house, when our wonderful realtor showed us one that just went on the market that day. So, we went to this house and saw how wonderful it was and decided that this was the house we wanted and if we didn't get it, we would have the other house as a backup. Well, many people saw it that day too. So there was already some offers on it. But, my smart daddy said that we should just put in full price, otherwise we were not going to get it. So, they put in the offer and now we are living in our wonderful house! Let me tell you about it. It is a two story with a basement. On the 2nd floor are 3 bedrooms and a bonus. One of the bedrooms is the master. Than on the first floor there is a big kitchen, a dining room, and the living room and laundry room. In the basement there is lots of space and it even has it's own bathroom. Then there is another garage, besides the one that is attached to the house, and a pool. And it on a 1 acre lot. It is perfect, just we wanted another acre. But, what would we do with another acre? Mow. And mow. And more mowing.

Two, I redecorated my room. Me and my friends back where is used to live played a shopping spree before I left. We were all redoing our rooms. So we had the most funnest time in the world going through stores and walking around. I think we spent more money on our clothes than we did on our rooms, but it was still fun.

But, I did redecorate my room. I painted it light green and I am going to put light blue polka dots on the wall. And we had a garage sale with our friends from church and we traded stuff with them and I ended up getting some new decorations for my room. I also had some neon flowers that I had bought at Hobby Lobby that were on sale for 50% off and put them up and then put two butterflies around the flowers to make it look like the butterflies were flying around the flowers. And I am going to put the word "Dream" under them in brown.

Kaylee redid her room too and it is pink. She wanted a room theme and chose Paris for it. So she has an Ifle Tower and lots of poodle pictures.

I am also taking a Fine Arts co-op that is extremely fun. Here is my schedule:

9am - 10am: Voilin

10am - 11am: Break Time

11am- 12pm: Folk Dancing Class

12pm - 12:30pm: Lunch

12:30 - 1:30: Art Class

1:30 - 2pm: Break

2pm - 3:30pm: Choir

And next year I am going to add (if I can) Ballroom Dancing, Tumbling, Photography and Ballet into my schedule. I also take a once a month co-op that teaches liturchure. It is a great class that will hopefully help me on my career as a Writer.

We found a new church. We now go to St. James the Apostle Catholic Church. I am going to be in a class called Edge. It is for middle schoolers. I can't wait to go. And what is so funny is that my new friend from co-op goes to the same church! And she does Edge! How cool is that!

Well, I hope this makes up for me not writing. I am going to start writing again.
