Homework, Homework, and Devoirs :)

     Just so you all know, devoirs is homework in french. Homework! That is all that goes on lately these days...I know I was asking for it by trying for the Honors, but it is supposed to all be worth it in the end. Is it? Will it? Friends if mine think the whole honors thing is stupid, her reasoning is "what if a student wants to be in honors, but they aren't good at testing?"  Doesn't that mean that they aren't fit for honors persay? Plus, you need to write an essay of sorts to get into honors, doesn't that mean that they can get in, but they just have to work harder? I'm not going to lie, seventh grade honors was really no different than the normal classes. But it gradually got harder, and people think it is the exact same thing...but it isn't. How come people look at you like they think that you think that you are better than they are? How come they can't see me sitting at my counter at home TRYING to find a way to figure Geography out, or trying to figure a book, or an essay our for English? How come? How come they don't see the countless hours I try to put into my projects? I don't really know what I'm saying. I don't mind my homework. I embrace it. It makes me feel good about myself (which sounds really strange) but it gives me a challenge, and I look forward to seeing my score on something that I worked my butt off to get done. It just bothers me that one of my friends thinks that I can be stuck up and mighty because I'm in the honors classes...

                That's it! Love you all!! :)

"You know your in love when you can't sleep at night, because reality is finally better than your dreams." ~Dr. Seuss

"Don't let your girl fall if you don't plan on being there to catch her." ~Hannah Withers

"I'm hyper? I thought I was normal. I guess your all just boring." ~Lexi Kamp

"If Pac-Man had affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in dark rooms, munching on pills and listening to repetitive electronic music." ~Marcus Bridgestocke

"Don't need you, don't want you, don't miss you." ~Kenna Bakker

"If you had her once, don't count on getting her again. She won't take you back." ~Hannah Withers

"Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it." ~Confucius

"No one knows how it is that with one glance a boy can break through into a girl's heart." ~Napoleon Bonaparte

"Girls are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the trees. The boys don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just get the rotten apples that are on the ground that aren't as good, but easy. So the apples at the top think there is something wrong with them, when, in reality, they are amazing. They just have to wait for the right boy to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree." ~Author Unknown

Happy Halloween!

       I won't be the first to admit that I cannot stand Halloween. I think the dentist's, and the candy companies got together, and planned this holiday. But, I will admit that I did enjoy myself yesterday. :) I went to a fabulous baby shower, and got home around two. My parents left with the little boys, and our princess to go see the grandparents. I got to hang around the house with the big man and watch Cake Boss. I ended up being rounded up into taking my brothers, and  three of my cousins out trick-or-treating. We had only went to two houses when Lexi showed up! Let's just say, it went pretty crazy after that....so all in all, my night consisted of handing out candy, finding my real laugh, SENDING my real laugh. Also, handing out ten cucumbers, trick-or-treating, porch lights, Limenozo (spelling), "Every little thing is gunna be al-", and a few little films.....I think I might start to enjoy Halloween after this!! :) Hope you all had a safe and spooky Halloween!!

Our Mini Miracle

       Well, as I said previously, I knew I would get used to having our little princess here. Now I can't even dream of her leaving! Which is not a very good thing I will say....but I know she was here for a reason. So that is all that is keeping me going. I love her so much! She is so cute, and little. We still don't know what we are going to call her, because we all call her something different. I just call her princess, or baby. Which fits just as well. :)
      She is such a blessing. Some would even say a miracle, I am one of those that would say a miracle. It is no lie. For those who don't know, we weren't expected to get another foster girl for a very long time. She is our miracle.  Miracles come in so many different ways. Whether we think so or not. It doesn't have to be the big things where you go "Whoa." because you watched someone be healed right before your eyes.   It can be the simple things that make a big difference. Even if our little girl is only here for a couple weeks, she will have made an impact on our family. She is our mini miracle. I appreciate these days that she has been in our home, and I hope that I will always remember these times.
                     I love our miracle.

New Addition

          I am so excited I don't know if I will be able to do this post. Yesterday, I heard from my grandma that my mommy got a call for a new foster baby. I didn't believe her for the littlest while. But when I fully realized it, it sort of hit me. I'm going to have a little sister again! I was so excited! When my mom went to go pick her up I was really excited. I couldn't wait! It took her a while to get  her, but she is here. We are all so thrilled.
         It really hasn't hit (with me at least) that there is another gorgeous baby in our house. I am so happy, but it just seems that the mom should be coming to get her anytime. But it shouldn't take long before I am having a hard time deciding which bow to put with her Sunday dress! :) I love her so much!
        I need to thank my Father in Heaven for everything that He has given me. He knows this girl needs a home, and I'm glad He is knows that we can offer good for her. I am overjoyed that He would trust in our family enough to let us take care of His children. I love Him so very much. :)

Seminary Lesson! :)

  General Conference today was amazing! Figured I might as well just say that. :)
      I just want to thank my Seminary teacher Brother Card. He is the most amazing seminary teacher anyone could ever ask for! Our lesson on Thursday was....I can't even describe it. But it was one of those lessons you won't ever forget. It was on the Atonement. We normally have class discussions with certain things, but he felt impressed that we should have a silent lesson. I'm so grateful that Brother Card is able to understand when the Spirit is speaking to him. I really needed that lesson that he gave. I am so grateful for him. I cannot tell you guys how much Seminary means to me! It is wonderful! :) I love it with all my heart.

F.R.O.G

The other day, I went over to Lexi's house and I got to hold her sisters frogs! It was the coolest thing ever. They would just just and leap everywhere. They can really squirm through small places. It was so much fun! Thanks Emily!

           The real reason why I am talking about F.R.O.G is because Lexi found (or came up with) this really cool acronym. Forever Rely On God. F.R.O.G. Pretty neat huh? I think it is important that we always remember this. We need to rely on Him. He is the one who will help us through anything we run into, He will always be there. I feel that people forget this. They forget the role that He plays in your everyday lives. I think we all need to strive to be closer to Him, and to always remember Him. We can't make it through anything without His help.
