Yeah, yeah I know it has been forever since I blogged! But my life has been beyond crazy. The last month of school was absolutely crazy, I never had time and once summer began I have had hardly any alone time. So I lay here at 10:53 at night in my bed with eat buds in blaring my favorite country song, and now here I am. Considering I'm on my phone I can almost promise there will be some spelling errors.
Well I am going to start at the first of my summer. The very first week my awesome parents planned a trip to San Francisco for me and my littlest brother while Branson and Chase were in Washington with their school. It was such an amazing trip, after such a crazy school year it's exactly what I needed. We did so many fun things. We did a tour of Alcatraz and that was so cool!! We laughed a lot and we even rode bikes across the Golden Gate Bridge!! It was a trip I will never forget.
(I can't upload pictures so bare with me here)
When we got home from our trip we spent a lot of time with family. We had a little speed bump in the road and our lives were tested. My cousins darling little boys life was taken from him. Chanse was such an amazing little boy and did not deserve to leave so early, but he is in heaven right where he belongs. He was such a special boy that our Heavenly Father asked for him home too soon. We love and miss him everyday. But through this experience I learned some very valuable lessons. As we went through this tragic time, though many tears were shred it brought my cousin Liz and I very close. Liz is going to be in the 4th grade and ever since the day she was born she has been my best friend. We have a relationship impossible to explain!! The love I have for Liz is the same love Liz had for chanse. Watching her go through this experience broke my heart. Her cries left me speechless, heck I'm crying just thinking about it. I watched Liz grow so much over that week of saying good-bye to her little brother. She was so strong, she loved him so much. I learned that it doesn't matter what life throws our way we will always find a way to find happiness even in the darkest days. I learned it's okay to be mad. And I learned that in hard situations you are never alone. I am grateful for my life and all the events that have happened because they have made me very strong.
After that hard time I had a very last minute chance to attend girls camp. And I knew that's where I needed to be. I had such a great time and I'm so glad I went!! It is exactly what I needed after the hard weeks before.
When I got him from girls camp my brother Chase and I headed to Arizona with my aunt Cami and cousins Liz and Nick!! We had so much fun being with family I hadn't seen in a very long time!! We did enough swimming to last me a long time, but we made so many great memories!
Now here I am, got home about three weeks ago and I'm working! So that's been my summer so far, I promise ill get better about blogging.
