It's Been Far to Long....

I can't believe it has been a month and a half since my last post. Time has been flying by. December was a fun filled month with just about no time to just relax. I had multiple concerts and performances which were sure to keep me busy as well as just the normal hustle and bustle of the season. Christmas was a wonderful time once again. I enjoyed the time I got to spend with my family and the memories created and shared. Christmas is such a beautiful time that often gets lost in the craziness that we as a society place on the holiday. I just enjoy the time it allows me to spend with my family and friends. Christmas is especially important when your spending it with someone who has a terminal illness like Alpha-1. You don't know how many of these times you have left so you try and make the most of every moment that you get and Christmas is no exception to that for me. I truly enjoy making the most of the time I spend with my Dad even though it can get stressful and overbearing at times (anyone who knows my father knows exactly what I'm talking about).  Over the break I was sure to keep busy. I spent time with family and made oh so many memories. I also spent a lot of time with my friends who are truly amazing. I attended Katina one of my Best Friends Birthday party which was a girls night out to the melting pot and the movies. It was great fun as it always in with my most wonderful friends.I also went to a sleep over at my friend Laura's house with all my Best friends once again. We never fail at having a good time. My grandfather also turned 92 over break which was a fun celebration and time with the family. For new years this year I had some of my friends over Katina, Kate and Sammie. We had a great time watching movies, eating, talking, hanging out, and of course watching the ball drop on TV in Time Square. My holidays were filled with the most important thing to me, the people who I am close to and mean the most to me. Other then that things have been fairly normal for me, nothing extremely major going on in my life over the last couple of weeks, just the regular craziness of school and all of my activities. This coming week is midterms which always prove to be a stressful time but next weekend after all the exams are over I will get my reward of spending the weekend in Philly with my youth group which will be a stress free and exciting environment. Hope everyone is doing well. Happy New year. Remember Hope is Still Alive.

A Special Place

It has been way to long since I have written. My senior year has taken over my life! Since I last wrote school has started and Senior year is going much better than Junior year ever did. I love my classes that I am taking of course with exceptions here or there and I am just so thrilled it is my senior year I think I will be able to look past any negative situation in some positive form. Marching band and School are taking up all my free time. There is no time to be messing around, I am at school, doing homework, at a rehearsal, lesson or practicing it seems. So to take a break from the crazy month that it has been my family and I are going to be traveling to our favorite place! We will be spending the weekend in Vermont. There are so many memories there with my family and I feel like a part of me grew up there. Every winter my family would travel up there to ski until skiing became impossible for my family. With Dad having Alpha one of the things he truly loved to do has been taken aw...

Day 11- A Picture of your Best Friend Since I will be away this weekend I have decided that I will post for the next two days awhile! My Mom and I! My best friend in the whole world is my Mom! No matter what life brings shes always the one there helping me to get through it! I can tell her everything!! She always puts me first and always is there for me!! I look up to her everyday! Love you mom! "A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts." ~Washington Irving

For Nothing is Impossible with God!- Luke 1:37

"You are exactly where God wants you to be at   this very moment. Every Experience is part of   his divine plan." This quote has hit home with me the last few days. Its words speak to me. There are so many days when I question why things are happening in my life or why things can't just work out a little bit easier but this quote reminds me that they are working out a little bit easier then I like to think they are. It reminds me that everything I do and all the experiences I go through are part of a bigger plan and a bigger picture. Some experiences I never question because they are fun and don't bring me any emotional upset or pain. It's when the difficult experiences come that I begin to forget this quote. I begin to forget what my life really is about. It is not just that bad experience that defines me. There is so much more that defines me and my life. I am defined by the way I react to the situations rather than by the situations themselves. ...
