Who said it's Impossible?!?

In the last few weeks my Family and I have done things that just a few short months ago we were told would likely be impossible, but we beat the odds. We have been able to continue to enjoy the things we have always loved doing despite the fears that we never would be able to again. After my Dad was hospitalized over the new year we thought our days of travelling together as a family were over. We questioned what we were going to be able to do and if we were going to even be able to take short trips but a few weeks ago we over came the fear and we took a short trip to Washington D.C.! One of the things my dad has wanted to see was the Space Shuttle 'Discovery' that is now in the Air in Space Museum on display. My Dad has always loved space and been very interested in the space program. This was huge for him to be able to see. He felt he would never see it and wanted to so badly so to get him there and make sure he got to see it was extremely important to my mom and I. Yes it was a little bit harder for us to see it and there were struggles along the way but it was worth every second. It was worth every trouble and problem that came up. To see the smile on his face as we pushed him into the exhibit filled my eyes with tears. For me it was one of the sweetest moments. Knowing that we got him there, that he got to see what a few months ago he told me he would never see and in optimistic spirits I had reassured him he would, truly unsure if what I had just reassured him of was actually going to happen. It was like we had accomplished something huge when we were standing right next to the huge shuttle! We had overcome the fears, the hopelessness, and the challenges we all thought we never would overcome. It was a moment I will never forget and one I will always treasure because of the smile that was painted across his face. A smile we don't always see anymore.  A week after taking the trip to D.C. we took another short outing to the Iron Pigs game with my Mom's work. We sat in the dugout suites right behind home plate  Anyone who knows my Dad knows this was a huge highlight! He is an avid baseball fan and loves everything baseball and to get the opportunity to sit just a few feet behind home plate put a huge smile on his face. It was a great time and another things that we got to do with him.  It gives me hope that we can overcome the odds and the statistics that are thrown up against us and we can overcome this never ending battle. It is teaching me to have faith when you feel it is impossible. To have faith that there is a bigger plan and that nothing is ever impossible.

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. ...
