Memories of my Second Home!

Day 3- Favorite memory

My favorite memories have been created in Vermont with my family. Vermont is a second home for me, it is the place were I spent the winters of my childhood. At just 6 weeks old I took my first trip to Vermont and my first trip to the top of Killington Peak. I continued going to Vermont after that with my parents and took off skiing at the age of 4. Ever since I began to ski I have not stopped, nor do i think I will ever stop. Its like walking for me. I  use to ski with my family and have created so many memories on and off the ski slopes in Vermont. Although over the years our trips to Vermont have become vastly different in nature we still find it to be a magical place. We may no longer be able to ski as a family because of my Dad's illness but that has not stopped us from creating new memories in our favorite place. We can look back and remember the times when we were able to ski as a family. We talk about my first time skiing from Killington Peak to the bottom or the time I acted like buzz light year as a 5 year old while skiing and everyone on the trail could see I truly had no fear of the mountain ahead of me. There are memories that will last forever, never to be taken away. Memories I will forever cherish. Vermont will always be my second home and I place I always know I can go for piece of mind.

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. ...
