Thanksgiving!!

I had a wonderful Thanksgiving break! On Wednesday I got out of school and spent time with my cousins and family. Thursday we had our huge Thanksgiving meal which was delicious!! Friday we drove down to San Diego for my cousin's football game which was freezing but a lot of fun. Then on Saturday we went shopping at the San Diego mall which was very nice but I was very surprised to see that all the Christmas decorations were already up. After we went shopping we ate at an amazing Mexican restaurant and then drove home. This morning we woke up and visited my grandma and then said good-bye to my cousins, aunt, and uncle. It was very sad but like I always say all good things must come to an end. I can't wait for Winter Break!!

Falling into Fall

It's my favorite time of the year...fall!!!! I love bundling up in warm clothes, scarves, and winter accessories. California doesn't really experience cold weather but this year the it's been really cold and rainy. One of the reasons why I love fall is much is because I get to see my family during Thanksgiving! Also because we get a lot of breaks from school(: These are some pictures my dad took a couple years ago when he visited Connecticut during fall! 

Summer Lovin

Summer Lovin

YAYAY!!! I finished my summer school and now I'm on vacation in a beach house, it's absolutely beautiful!!(: Unfortunately my vacation is almost over and then back to reality...oh well. I have really enjoyed being at this beach house, it's been very relaxing. Here are a few pictures :D

Summer!! Love or hate?

So the beginning of my summer was amazing!!! Swimming, beach, paddle boating with friends, but then summer school and cheer camp started up at the same time. This is no ordinary summer school, it's the whole school year packed in 6 weeks and to make matters worse....it's biology!! It's been really hard studying for tests and keeping up with 2 hours of homework everyday!! I really hope I pass this class because if I don't I'm just going to have to redo EVERYTHING next year!!! :( Then I have cheer camp which I've been enjoying but it's gotten so hot!! Today my cheer and summer school have conflicting schedules so I have to leave cheer early today. In 30 days(I've been counting) I will have my own summer free of everything!!! Can't wait until then!! :(

Who doesn't love the weekends?

It's Memorial Day weekend and it has been so relaxing! On Friday my friends and I went to the park, yesterday I went to a friend's pool party, today I walked to church with one of my friends, stayed home and made pizza for dinner, and tomorrow we are having a block party with our whole neighborhood! Oh and I forgot today I went on a bike ride by myself and rode through my whole entire town it was really fun! I can't wait for summer but I'm really going to miss middle school, I'll enjoy it while it lasts.(:

Beach Beach Beach

Still yet another busy weekend!! Went to my friend's beach party yesterday, and then today I was suppose to go the beach with my other friend but it was way too cold, so we made cookies instead.(: My whole house has been taken over by construction workers, that's not technically a bad thing though. Our house has gotten a total facelift, new hardwood floors(even going up the stairs), granite countertops, all the walls got a fresh coat of paint, new appliances, crown molding, and we are getting rid of all of our junk. HALLELUJAH!! Change isn't always a bad thing...

Wednesday already!?

Oh my goodness!! The school year is coming to an end and my life is far from relaxing! Every morning I've gotten up early for zero period, school, cheer, homework, bed, and then start all over! Luckily these weeks have been flying by really fast for me. I can't wait for the weekend!!(:

Fun Fun Fun..School :(

Hello everyone!! This past week has been an amazing spring break!! First thing on Friday I figured out I got onto the cheer squad and went to my sister's gymnastics meet which they did very well on.(: Then Sunday through Wednesday I went to visit one of my good friends in Nevada, we went sight seeing, and just had a good time!! After that I went to Austin, Texas for a church camp with my cousins, it was very enjoyable to see how important the bible is to God's people and how it is the only real truth in the world. Now today is Monday and I'm supposed to be at school but I'm still in Austin waiting for my flight...Ughh!! I don't want to go home!! Tomorrow I have to go to school and make up for yesterday oh well can't wait for the weekend...if it ever comes. :(

The week is finally over!!!!

This week was cheer tryouts and every day I had to go to cheer clinics! I would stay up very late every night practicing. On the day of the tryouts I was so incredibly nervous, I personally didn't think I did that well but....I MADE IT!! I'm sooo excited!! I also had 2 projects due this week, a history test, and science test. My sisters had a huge gymnastics meet this week which was also made me nervous!! They did really well at their meet. I'm just sooo happy this week is over; it went on for what seemed like FOREVER!! Now it's SPRING BREAK and I can kick back and relax!!!(:

Good-bye March

March is coming to an end.... a lot has happened this month. One of my really close friends moved, I turned 14, went to Disneyland, had  a music concert, and my grandpa came into town. (: Now April is coming and Spring Break is just around the corner, but I'm really nervous because I'm trying out for a sport on before Spring Break and I am SOOOOO NERVOUS!!! I really hope I make it, I have been working so hard but I'm not sure if that is going to help. Also in April I have a HUGE project due. Ughh when will it be summer!? :(

BIRTHDAY(:

Hello!!! I haven't updated my blog for a while. I am 14!!!!! Last Wednesday was my birthday, I had such an amazing time!!! So my friends and parents kept asking, " What do you want to do for your birthday?" I would tell them nothing, I guess my friends wouldn't take "Nothing" for an answer. So Tuesday afternoon I come home from school and my mom decorated our WHOLE downstairs with colorful decorations and balloons, that got me excited!!. Then that night my mom told me to wake up early for a "special breakfast," I didn't suspect anything. That morning was a late start, I got up and dolled myself up for my birthday then the doorbell rings. My mom comes over and says, "Anna come see who's here..." I walk over an my friends are standing there with a HUGE ballon bouquet, a GIANT card with a collage of picture of me and them, presents, and a 5 layer cake!!! I was soo touched my friends planned the whole morning for me.(: Then at school a few of my friends brought me some presents. That night my mom took me and one of my friends out to a fancy beach hotel. I'm sorry if I am boasting but I just was sooo excited!!! Thanks everyone for making my birthday sooo special!!!(:

Tired!

It's been a long week and I am ready to go to sleep. We have to set our clocks an hour ahead...Ughh!! That means I am going to lose sleep! I'm soooo tired!!! Well, it's off to bed I go, goodnight everyone. (:

Rainy days and Saturdays

BRRRRRR!!!!!! It is freezing!! I just finished making some warm delicious hot chocolate. Its very cloudy outside and there is suppose to be rain today the sky is black. I hope everyone's week went well I have a 3 day weekend I'm very happy. Just thought I'd update my blog see you all soon. (:

Just Another Ordinary Week....

Well, all my cousins are back in Texas and everything is back to normal. School is keeping me busy but I just wish we could have another winter break!!! All over the East coast everyone is getting snow but here in California it's 75 degrees. Tomorrow is Thursday which means I have to run the mile in P.E....OH NO!!! Wish me luck. Sorry, I really have nothing exciting to blog about.

The Lord is refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble Psalms 9:9

 Last Tuesday my great grandfather passed away, a human life is a story told by God. My grandfather was a wonderful man that lived 89 years and he will be missed. It is hard coping with a loss of a family member but we must embrace pain and use it as fuel for the journey that lays ahead. I love you great grandpa rest in peace

Fun Weekend....but let's get back to reality :(

This was a very VERY FUN weekend! On Friday I got to spend time with my friends at our dance (Hollywood  themed), we all wore coordinating shirts that spelled out "Hollywood." I got to be one of the O's. Then I slept over at a friend's house and the next day I got to hang out with some of my friends at Church. Sunday I went to church and did homework for the rest of the day but got a lot done. Now it's Monday and I had to get up bright and early this morning for zero period and then right afterwards I had to leave early and get my bottom braces put on. OUCH they hurt sooooo much! After school I went to flute and now I'm doing a whole bunch of homework. :( Can't wait for the weekend!

Empty tissues boxes, sore throat, and plugged up ears can only mean one thing....

Thursday afternoon I came home from school and started sipping a delicous cup of coke. Suddenly my throat started to feel scratchy....that meant only one thing. The next morning I woke up with a stuffed up nose and a throat that felt like I'd swallowed a knife. My mom told me I couldn't go to school but I had a math test and insisted that I had to go! So I went through the whole day of school feeling as though I was going to  collapse! As soon as I got home I fell onto the coach and then I knew I was SICK!! Saturday morning I stayed on the coach the WHOLE day!! Today I stayed home from church and shopping with my friends. :( I'm feeling MUCH better!

Back to the ole grind...

Well... sadly winter break came to an end yesterday. Today was my first day back to school and it wasn't too bad but I have A LOT of homework. It will be hard getting back into the swing of things, I am really going to miss sleeping in and enjoy being with family and friends. :( I guess like I've always said all good things must come to an end. I guess I'll just have to make the best it.
