Time Warp to Summer 2005

I can't wait until this missions trip! I wonder what I am in store for-
Wonder what we will do- the possibilities are endless for me! I could end up helping put a bathtub in, or maybe I could do some painting, or putting a roof on a house! Who knows- I am so excited to helps someone out.

Gary's death so came so quickly it seems although I don't know of a slow death or one that was completely planned... Just seems it came from behind. It can only teach me that life is short and we must live it to the fullest. Seeing him today- made me realize a lot. I am glad I was able to spend the little time I did with him he was a great guy. One thing you realize is how much you really did miss out on when reflecting upon one's life. For if you don't know your own family who do you really know?

This infection in my arm is so insane- mom told me I couldn't go on the missions trip if it didn't start healing up. I can't believe how sore it is! My Uncle Eddie says it looks like a bull's eye rash I don't believe it. The ER doctor said I would've seen the tick. It can't be Lyme disease.

The weather was really nice today I got to go out rollerblading for an hour and stopped by Ashley's house for a bit. I haven't seen her in forever what a nice chat we had.

September of 2005

Goals- Start a Bible Study with Rachel every week or every other week- Tonight we discussed
Ephesians 6:19, 2 Timothy 2:2, 1 Peter 1:15-16, and Hebrews 13:15

I really hope I start feeling better and I can't wait to get into winter track it's going to be an awesome year I can sense it already. I am full of so much energy and I am really starting to enjoy school it's like opening a whole new chapter in life.

I am getting used to all of my classes Earth Science is my least favorite- it's absolutely boring! I don't think I will ever be interested in minerals or rocks for the rest of my life thanks to my teacher. I have been really feeling horrible lately the doctor has been running a slew of tests the Infectious disease doctor cured me from Lyme.

I am really happy with my friends right now- the other day I met a kid named Chris at lunch and he called me Gimp. Hm I guess I also forgot to mention I broke my pelvis since I last wrote as well! Lots has been going on we're continuing to hunt for answers and I am really glad I have found some friends to hang out with!

I can't wait to start track and I continue to Rollerblade everyday and I am even thinking about yearbook but the announcements are quite confusing. I just found out the other day I have my sisters old English teacher next semester for English 9! He was her favorite English teacher, I am also really excited with Art this semester with Mr. Hart- he was Megan's teacher as well he is a really good artist but very judgemental of the artwork. I guess he has every right to be! I can't wait to see what this year has in store...

Then I quit writing until June of 2006- As I read my old journal entries it almost felt as though I was peaking through into a different world and not my own life. It was fun though since I knew how it all played out- and I know now this was only the beginning.

Spot-Light

Lacy-
Lacy is a very kind hearted person and has been working relentlessly on the PR for the walk she continues to put her heart and soul into what she does for us regarding the walk. I am very blessed that she is so willing to work for us and help us out with the agenda for the walk! She's another awesome teen that has shown that teens aren't all crazy and some really do have motivation and potential. It's awesome to have her on board and I am so very glad that I do! Hopefully she'll see some response for all of the time she has put into PR very soon!

Have a great day!
