Where Has Time Gone?

Today in school, my fourth period class was rushed down to the computer lab. For what reason, you might ask. Well, it was time again to register for next year's classes. And while I can say that I am looking forward to junior year, I have to take a step back and wonder where the year has gone. I swear that just yesterday I was walking into the high school doors for the first time, unaware of what was coming or if I was even going to make it out alive. Now the whole year is almost gone. This has been a great year, full of good memories and good friends. There are things that happened this year that I will never forget. And yet, it's bittersweet to know that we are one year closer to graduation, one year closer to the rest of our lives. I don't know if I'll ever be ready for then. I barely feel ready for now. So now, as I sit here contemplating my life, I have nothing else to wonder but where has time gone?

A Good Day

Today has been a very good day! First, I got my driving certificate today! What that basically means is that I can go to the DMV on my birthday and get my license!!!!! I am very happy about that!!!

 

Second, today I am became a mother! Well, figuratively. My computer baby was born today at 3:00 PM and weighs about 7 lbs. His name is Boston James and he loves to sleep ( thankfully)!! I am so glad that I get to be a mother to this baby even if its just for a couple days!

 

 

Still on good things, it's the first day of Spring! I love spring so much it hurts! I am so excited for it to become warm and sunny (although the snow this morning wasn't great) and for all the flowers to pop out! Plus, my birthday is coming up, and it's the big 16. You know what that means! Driving, dating, and responsibility!

 

Last but not least, I raised my grade in AP World History enough to get a 4.0 this term, and that is the greatest feeling! And as it's the end of the term, all the stress that's been hovering on my for the past three weeks is gone!

I hope you all are having good days too, because everyday is special and amazing! I love and am thankful for all of you! Have a great day!

Return to Motherhood

As some of you might remember, I had a brief glimpse of motherhood last year. You can read all about that adventure right here. Well now I have the opportunity to become a mother again! Yes, this will again to be a doll, but this time it will be a breathing, crying, electronical baby!

 

*Side note: I am not pregnant. This is for a class at school. I am not having a baby. Just clearing that up*

 

I am very excited to take on this responsibility as a "parent." My last experience was great, so I am so glad to get to do it again!

 

P.S. As you may have learned from my mother (or me), I recently got my first job!!!!! I now work at Bowman's as a facer, and I have officially entered a crazy world or responsibility and money!

 

P.P.S. I wanted to give a quick congratulations to my brother, Ethan, who recently got baptized! I am so proud of this kid!!! Pictures to come! I pinky promise.

An Open Letter to My Mom

Dear Mom,

As you know, I am turning 16 next month. And by that I can start dating. I would have expected you to be worried out of your mind and not allowing me to date until I'm 35. But no. Instead you are already trying to set me up with every guy you see, without fail, no matter who he is. Well let me remind you I still have one month until I can date, so you can slow down with the matchmaking. Really.

Love,

Your Dateless Daughter
