Well its been awhile since iv wrote... Been very busy lately....

I have started school here in KY and thigns seem to be going well.... The school system is good here... Just love it all in general... Only 4 classes a day here where in Il we have 7-8 a day... Grades are doing great here also...

We went up to IL this weekend to pack somethings and bring some back with us.. I was "supposed" to get my license this weekend but something happened and something couldnt be found to get it.. So in 2 weeks when we go back up there I plan to get it then... *Pray* All goes well that way it can be done..... Going to see a few people that I havent seen in awhile when we go bak up there also....

Nothing really to write about...

Things seem to be going a lot better now that Its my dad, sister, and I living with tres and family.... We are away from all of the stress....

Well this is all for now...

Well its been about a week since iv posted anything and this last week has been a very long trying week.... The beginning of the week wasnt to bad... Still dealing with stress but wasnt that bad. Thursday night I find out that my dad was leaving to go to TN to be with step-mom and to see if she had changed and if she had then we were going to move in with her again. I found this very hard to deal with...... Many tears shed because I couldnt see how my dad could go back to what we had just gotten out of and everyone was so happy with. He told me about 10 min before he pulled out of the drive that he wanted to see if she had changed.... I ended up calling a few people after he had left and venting to them because I knew he wasnt happy and he had said he wasnt happy with her. But I couldnt stop him from going.... He got there Thursday night and I refused to talk to him that night... I was to mad... Friday was a rough day for me at school as I knew it would be...I never cried but I wanted to.... Didnt really say much to many people that day either...Did talk to my dad that day and he said that even if he was unhappy he thought that maybe he should stay with her.... Because he didnt want to leave 8 years behind.. and even if he was unhappy it would be best... I was more mad friday night because of him doing this and even though he wouldnt be happy he was going to stay just because... Sat. came around and I talked to my dad.... He had said he came to a conclusion... He had realized that it wasnt ment to be... and that he would be leaving on Wed. to go bk to IL and figure things out, get the house packed up, sold, and find a new house in IL..... This here was great news to me.... I knew a long time ago when they got married that this was NOT ment to be but yet they married anyways...... I couldnt stop them but I was def. glad that he had realized that it just wasnt ment to be.. Im was also happy to be moving back home to IL.... I love it here in kentucky but IL is home to me.... When my dad gets the new place... we will be moving back with him.. untill then I am living with tres and PW... in which I love.... Love being with family during a troubleing time....

Tres and PW if you are reading this I appriciate you both so much and gald we are family *hug*

To the rest of you... I appriciate you all being here for me and willing to listen and give encourageing words during a very troubleing time....

I love you all so much!

Today was a good day... didnt really do anything.... was rather relaxing... Back to school tomorrow....

Think this is all for now...


I again thank you all for being here during this troubleing time and I know that its just about over..


God Bless and Love you all!

Things seem to be getting a lot better..... I dont think I have felt this good in a long time.... Dad did go back to IL on thursday after stopping by here to take me to the eye doctor and going to my sisters concert for chours..... He has made up his decision and don believe that we are going to be moving back up to IL in a matter of weeks... Had a very good weekend, even though we didnt do much.... Just was very peaceful, relaxing etc.

Been working on a benifit for my uncle whom was diagnosed with throat cancer about a week ago... We are going to have a enifit for him in Nov. was asked to be on the committee for the benifit.....been a lil stressful at times but at other times it has been very fun to be doing the work...

Go back to school tomorrow till Wednesday then dont go back to school till the 12th :D Fall break!!!! *angelbounce* Gonna be fun!!

Well things are getting a lot better.... I find myself become able to talk to my dad and being able to talk to my "step mom" at times.... Things have changed I guess you could say... Will be moving back home hopefully in about 2 weeks..... Been a hard time being away but there has to be a plan in it.... My dad has said he would have moved us back sooner but he didnt want to do the school change thing again once he found a place. Things are looking good right now.... He went and looked at a place yesterday and was told they would let him know if we could get it or not! *Pray* His will be done in all of this! I shall return back to school on Monday after having a long fall break.... Def. ready to return after a long break....

God has been so good durning this time... He has given my sister and I a place to stay, with peope who care and isnt anything like the last situation we were in..... *angelbounce*


Psa 36:5 (NIV) Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.

I think this is all for now!!! *run*

God Bless you all!!!

Going back to the same school that I was and living in the same house :) We are getting ready to move houses but stay in the same town... Things have been rough this last month... But no one said life would be easy :) School is great as usual :) Grades are even better....
Dealing with some family stuff right now... My uncle has found out that he has stage 4 cancer... and they are thinking it has went to the brain. They have placed in a feeding tube so he can eat. And was placed in the hospital the other day to do chemo for 5 days streight. This is intense Chemo and are keeping and eye on him because of it. Been busy with school lately as well... Working on the school musical. Start rehersal Sunday... so I wont get to be around much.... Possibly after rehersal each night but not positive. Get to go to kY this weekend! :D Get to see tres for a day... But thats better then nothing at all I guess.....

I thank those of you that have been there for me this last month and willing to talk, listen, and give adivce... its greatly appriciated...

Is there someone in your life that has touched your lif more then others have? Is there someone in your life that you look up to more then others? Is there someone in your life that you can run and talk to about anything?

I was thinking about this today....

It is very hard to find one person that you can do all of those things.... Talk to, have touched your life more then others have, and someone you can run to and talk to about anything...

Many people dont realize that every single person has this person!

No you dont see him, but you can feel him....

Just something to think about...


Made it back from KY about 10:15 last night.... Was a very short trip.... But was great to see everyone again.... After being there 2-3 months and then not seeing anyone again.... Rather difficult....

Hope to see them again soon...

This week is gonna be fun and excititng.... Got rehersal all week for musical and then thursday, friday, and sunday we have the preformance... Should be fun... Will be worth it....

Get to meet up with susidivah on sat.! *run*


Welll I think this is all for now..


Gb and Love ya all!

Well the madrigold play is done and im def. glad to be back at the Oasis

more. I auditiond for another play, and prayed before I done so. I said if

you want me to do this then make it known, by giving me a part etc... If

you dont want me to do this, and want me on Oasis more then make it

known by NOT giving me a part or piece to do in this play. Well wed. I

found out I didnt make it... so this tells I should be here more! Many

thought Id be hurt about it because I didnt make it, I just tell them there

are other plans for my life then the acting.... Its as simple as that...




School is going great! Making more friends it seems then I did before.

Grades are going good. There down but there good :)





Been talking to some people about the past history of what has went on in

my life, and how there life can be turned around also. Things dont start

bad and stay bad. Things can start bad but get good, and visa versa. it

seems to be helping....


I think this is all for now!

I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me. - Proverbs 8:17

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a
listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of
which have the potential to turn a life around.



So when you are listening to somebody, completely, attentively, then you
are listening not only to the words, but also to the feeling of what is being
conveyed, to the whole of it, not part of it.


Never look down on anybody unless you're helping him up.

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

Today, give a stranger one of your smiles. It might be the only sunshine
he sees all day.


Found some kindness quotes, if everyone took these into consideration
the world would be a happier place!!!

Its never to late to start being kind!!!

Wow this year has gone by so fast!!!!

Its been a great year in all...


Cant believe CHRISTmas is just around the corner!!!


Fell yesterday morning, went to the dr. right after school they were 99% sure I broke it.... That 1% is what I had.... I didnt break it.... Was very swallowen, and they made my dad sign stateing that if the swelling didnt go down by the time I went to bed.... to come back in and they were going to cut my rings..... This was something I DIDNT want... one of the rings is very special and I couldnt let anything happen to it.... So I did anything and everything to get these rings off.... Prayers, elevateing it, iceing it... Nothing helped it just stayed the same..... My dad decided that it was just about time to go to the ER... my fingers were starting to go red, from all the pressure, and about that time he said wait a sec. he went and got some bag balm..... put it on both fingers... Got the one ring off, but it wasnt the "important" one.... THat one was still stuck.... I just told them to keep pulling... I thought they were gonna break the finger before they would get it off, but it came off!!! *angelbounce* I would have been heart broken if the ring had to have been cut.....


Still swallowen today..... THey have me wearing a splint for now... considering it is the hand that I write with lol So this makes it very difficult to write lol

But in all...


God is good! He anwsers prayers!!!!


School was out early today.... so just a quiet day at home :)



GBu all this is all for now!!!

Woke up this morning and we had 1/2 inch of snow on the ground...
Wow first snow, but its already gone..

Supposed to get more tonight, tomorrow, and wed.



While in English today, we are working on poems...

we were to choose a poem that we liked, or that spoke to us...


I want to share it with u all!



Wouldn't this old world be better
If the folks we meet would say -
"I know something good about you!"
And treat us just that way?


Wouldn't it be fine and dandy
If each handclasp, fond and true,
Carried with it this assurance -
"I know something good about you!"


Wouldn't life be lots more happy
If the good that's in us all
Were the only thing about us
That folks bothered to recall?


Wouldn't life be lots more happy
If we praised the good we see?
For there's such a lot of goodness
In the worst of you and me!

Wouldn't it be nice to practice
That fine way of thinking, too?

You know something good about me;
I know something good about you.

Poet: Louis C. Shimon



WOW if the whole world actualyl did this wouldnt it be great!!!

Anyways...

Hopeing this week goes by better....

Didnt start off on a good note yesterday but today seems good :)

Hae show choir rehersal tonight... not sure if thats a good thing or a bad
thing lol


Not much more to say other then:


Dont take what you have in life for granted, you never know when it will disappear!!!

Well not much going on right now...

Out of school again..

Pink eye never stays away....

They think its because of dog hair etc.....

Just wish they really knew what it was from so it coulld be fixed..

5th time since May 09 is a little much....


Went to the doctor yesterday for many things....

For pink eye, he gave me the drops and said no school till monday..

He looked at my wrist, said it was doing good... just to keep useing it to

make it stronger...

He then decided to look at my right ankle.... I keep hurting it...

The last major time was at the gathering....

Many of you werent around.... I think momof3 and a few reg. members

were around.... I fell over the picnic table, hurt my foot worse then it was..

Well he wanted to look at it.... He started pulling on it.... and noticed it was

very loose.... It can move about a millimeter.....and it shouldnt..

He said that he wants me to go back into Physical Therapy... and if it this

doesnt work... Then there going to have to do something different...

Such as surgery....


Dad is sick..... But starts working on Monday!!!! *angelbounce*

God is good all the time!!!


Christmas is just around the corner... and as this time of year it makes

me think about those that dont have anyone or any family around to be

with during this year.....



its been a week thats for sure...

Many things going on...



Gbu all this is all for now!

To wait for him and not make my own decisions....


OUt of school till the 4th..

Working on phsical therapy right now..

Find out tuesday if something has to be done ....

Learning more and more each day about who I really am
