   Long time no post. :) So Thanksgiving is tomorrow and I'm super excited. Thanksgiving is my second favorite holiday. Christmas is my first of course. :) I love Thanksgiving because it's a special time where you sit down, and are thankful for everything you have. And you can enjoy time with your family or friends. Plus, you get extremely yummy food! :) I am just so excited to eat and spend time with my family. My Aunt, Uncle, and two 1/2 cousins are coming from Kentucky to spend Thanksgiving with us. Haha, do you like how I said 1/2? My aunt is pregnant just to let you know. :) I can't wait for Thanksgiving! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving too!                                     -r-girl- Me and my 2/3 sisters. :) I'm the one in the pink. ;)

    So school has started. This Monday is going to be the third week of school. -And here's the weird thing, its actually okay. I have a really good teacher and I also have friends in my class. I have actually been learning, :) and its not that bad. I just have a lot of homework. Like a lot. I have to know the whole USA map by this Tuesday, and I only know like 14 states. Thats not good. :( So I really should be studying right now...but oh well. I have time. I really miss summer though. I miss being able to sleep in, and doing whatever I want without having a schedule.      The super cool thing about school is that 5th graders get their own school emails. Usually you get one in middle school, but they changed it this year. Yay! :) So yeah, that's cool. Anyways, school is heading off to a good start. Hopefully it stays that way. :) r-girl

           Just got back from Gatlinburg the other day, summer vacations are the best! We rented a cabin in the mountains, we usually do every few years. We were going to plan a summer vacation to the beach, but it didn't work out. So we decided to take some time off, relax, and have some fun in Gatlinburg. But my oldest sister couldn't come because of her work. :( We did lots of fun activities, we shopped around, went on the Ski Lift, spent a day at Wonder Works, (The house of illusions) went to DollyWood, Dixie Stampede, and my favorite, ATV riding. Okay, so I have never ridden an ATV before, so my sister and I rode the smallest one. :) (the easiest) while my other sister rode the medium one, and my dad rode the biggest. My mom was too scared to drive one... ;) so she stayed home at the cabin. Anyways, so when the people gave direction of how to drive one, I had no idea what they were talking about. Thank goodness my family was in a se...

     Yay! This week is my birthday week, and im so very excited. :) I love having family over to celebrate, and I have been waiting forever to turn 11. It seems so old, but its really not. :) It seems like just yesterday I was waiting to turn 10.      I can't wait to eat my yummy Puddles! Here's the thing, I am not a fan of cake...So I always have Puddles for my birthday instead of a cake. :) I love Puddles, it is so yummy. It isn't actually Puddles, or even called that. I really have no idea what they are called...something fancy. But we made up that  name because the first time we tried it, (I was so little I don't even remember) we were at a party outside and it was so hot that it melted and looked like puddles. Mmmm, just thinking about that makes my stomach growl, even though I just had a big bowl of chili. Puddles is chocolate with crackers and some kind of cream...I really have no idea whats actually inside that creamy chocolatey stuff. Bu...

      So far, summer has been pretty good. We have our pool set up, and I have been relaxing all summer.  It was my sisters birthday the other day, so that was pretty fun. I made her a painting of an anime girl, that is supposed to be her.  I also gave her a note and a home-made gift card to Star Bucks, paid by me. :)     Anyways, my oldest sister is leaving to Africa next week for a Missions Trip, and I am very nervous for her. So if you could pray for her that would be great. :) Also next week I am going to a day camp for a week called K.O.S, short for Kids On Stage. I've gone for about 4 or 3 years i think, and it is super fun! :)  I'm taking four classes... Musical Theater, Drawing, Dance, and Improve Acting. I am really excited! And at the end of the week we perform what we learned. It awesome, I love it. Oh! And I almost forgot! I cut off my hair. :) Don't worry, not all of it. It used to be soooooo long! Like at my belly butt...

Oh my gosh, can you believe it? Today was the last day of fourth grade. I'm like freaking out with excitement right now if you can't notice...We had a picnic today, and it was only a half a day of school. Though I really don't know why we even had school today because we didn't learn anything. Oh well. ;)     I am really happy that school is out and it's summer, but its kinda sad to think that some of your friends are not going to see you again for the rest of your life. Even when some people that I don't hang out with a lot move, I get completely upset and hug them until they tell me they have to leave. It's like a family. A school family. When one child leaves, the family is broken. Then another child joins and the family is reunited again. Though it's difficult to explain how I felt today, it was a day with so many emotions. Happiness, sadness, excitement, and much more that I can't put into words..It's a day like no other. Summer is here. ...
