Fall Break

Fall break came and went very quickly, as most breaks do. it amazes me how quickly it came and went. I apologize for my epic fail to post during fall break, but it was a very busy 4 days that didn't allow me much time. My break was filled with family and friends. It was great to see some people that I have not seen in so long. Friday night I enjoyed going to the football game at my high school with one of my dear friends Kate. It was so fantastic to see her and many others. This was the first time I got to see The PHS marching band this season, and let me tell you they are looking fantastic this year!! I am so proud of the work all of them have done and loved seeing all of their smiling faces, especially the fluties :) I also got to see my best friends family (a.k.a. my 2nd family) as well as some other friends and "families". I was thrilled to see some of them and to catch up. After the game I spent some much need time catching up with Kate! Saturday involved a lot of time with my former marching band. I enjoyed spending time with the flute section at their sectional and having a fun time over lunch. Later that night I returned to Spectrum of Sound which is Pennridges home show. This year it was not only Pennridges home show it also was the first time the PHS marching band was going to debut brand new uniforms in approximately 20 years! It was an exciting night for everyone, we finally have those new uniforms we all have been dreaming about for the past few years in our hands. Let me tell you they are extremely amazing compared to the uniforms that seem to be almost ancient! Kate and I were sitting in the stands and when we first saw the entire band turn around in those new uniforms, tears almost began to flow. A sense of pride came over us! It was incredible to see! It may sound ridiculous but it was a long time coming for these uniforms, it took a lot of hard work by many people, and was a "dream" of the PHS band for a long time now. In between my time with the PHS band I was spending time with family and just chilling out at home. Sunday I went to church and visited with my church family who I have not seen since I left, it was once again nice to catch up with people back at home. After that I went out with Kate again for some good food and finished my weekend up hanging out with family. I had a fantastic fall break but it was time to come back to LVC, it was beginning to get to quite at home. I am sure that nothing will be quiet this week at LVC it is homecoming week!! The excitement is rising and preparations are beginning for this weekend. All for now!! Write soon!!

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. ...
