So...It's been a while. =)

Im sorry it has been so long since I have last written. It feels like I've been busy..but I'm not sure I've actually got anything to show for it...So let's start @ the beginning.
School is going well. Only about 15 regular days left of school!!..and then finals week. But I think I will be done the Tuesday before the Friday that is the last day of school...I hope that made since...lol
Anyways. I've been sick the last week. A cough, sore throat, and runny nose. I'm feeling better, but I still have this stupid cough. =/ O well...it will be gone soon.
I am SOOOOO ready for the summer!..I like school, but I don't like living in the city. I LONG for home. It's terrible...The sad thing is I go home every Weekend and Once during the week...i think I just need a break from school..I love my friends here. But I miss spending random days with my best friend @ home...=/ haha. we went dumpster diving last night @ church!..that was an adventure!!.. I loved it!...
This weekend is college weekend, and there are A LOT of prospective students here...A LOT!!!!!!!...lol. I feel like I'm being overrun with high schoolers.
Everything else is going good. Im raising a bottle calf, and her name is Charlie..I think I might also be getting another one..I will name her Walter. I laugh @ my names!!..every time.

Recently my youth pastor and praise and worship pastor have been fired. So my best friend and I are now leading praise and worship. This is a chore, but I believe that if we are faithful, God will bless us abundantly...
I also recently killed my phone. But it's ok. The insurance replaced it...but i knocked off a pillow while i was sleeping. the pillow hit my glass of water, which spilled over on my phone that was charging...
I guess I only have one thing really left...
The Easter Lily's have been blooming the last couple of weeks...I am certain they are my favorite flower..Of course there's a story behind that. =) I hope you don't mind me telling it!...So here goes. My great grandmother that passed away last year, well the lane that leads to her house, is fenced on either side; The fence encompasses the yard. On one side of the lane, the fence is lined with Easter Lily's (a.k.a Daffodils.) Ever since I can remember, we would always pick a bouquet of Daffodils, and she would always display them proudly on her table. When she got too old to go out and pick them, I would go pick them for her. I was always so happy that she wanted to put my flowers on her table. Last year, she was in the assisted living about this time; the time when the daffodils bloomed. So I picked some and brought them to her. Even though she wasn't responding a lot, I remember her loving the flowers..She proudly had me put them in a vase on her bedside table...and I was once again happy..I guess daffodils were one of our special things...We had a lot of special things... This year when I started seeing the flowers, I was happy. I saw them for several weeks, and with every passing glance, I thought of her. I had planned on picking some and putting them on her grave, but I haven't. And now, I'm pretty sure they're gone for this year; the snow and cold weather got them. I think maybe I was afraid of picking them this year, and not being able to have them proudly displayed on her table... and that is heartbreaking.
But my Lily's will be back next year, and that is promising... =)

Well, I have to go take a test online. I promise to start blogging more!..
xoxo -A-

Well, I was beginning to think you had decided to stop blogging. We updates more often, dear niece. Glad to hear you are doing ok. Can't believe you are so close to being out of school for the summer. Wow. I thought most schools around here got out later in May. Well, good for you.
