A lot has happened since my last post. I have turned 16, (thanks for all the birthday comments) started driving, participated on my school's track team. I had terrible shin splint this year so I didn't get to do as much as I would have liked, but I did get to do the 100 meter high hurdles. And I really enjoyed them. Here is a picture of me at one of my meets. (that's my coach in the background)

Track is now over, but I really enjoyed the experience and hope that my shins get better so I can do it again.

That's all I have to say right now. Have a good weekend!

Zarah.

my really great friend zarah wanted me to update.
I know she wasn't expecting me to update about her, but that's what i'm going to do.
Zarah is an amazing person. She is one of my best friends. She is always there whenever I need her. I like the way she is always so excited and loves life. She is makes me want to do better. Zarah is an awesome athlete and I'm so proud of her and her cross country skills. She is amazing. Zarah is also a beautiful girl. Not only on the outside but on the inside too. I respect her and am so proud of the way she has let God work in her life. He is her number one and that's how she lives her life. I love you Zarah! You're the best! Keep up the great work!

Knowles. Yup we are the coolest family. :-)

I love my family.
Today after school Kate came and picked Kim and me up from school. She took us out to dinner at our favorite, taco bell! :-) I love my sisters.
Then I wrestled with Chuckie and Alli. Of course I beat them. :-)
My dad is amazing. I love talkint to him, and laughing with him. He picked me up and rocked me like he use to when I was little. I'll be very sad when the day comes that I'm too big for him to do that.
I love laughing with him mom over little things. We both laugh very easily and have fun watching tv and doing stuff together.
I just love my family. They are amaizng and I don't know what I would do without them.

Dogs. Sometimes I hate em and sometimes I love em

so my dog is pretty dumb. i mean i love him to death. but guess what he just did?he just came running down the stairs and i looked at him and he had white stuff all over his face and all over him. i was like what the heck is that? and no it was not snow. i smelled it and it was fluff! zeus, being the bright dog that he is, got into the pantry and got the fluff out. then he chewed off the cap and ate what was in it. yeah, that's pretty annoying. so me being the nice person i am took him outside first. lol. i thought that would be better than making him go out after his bath and freezing his butt off. lol. so after i brought him in i gave him a bath.




















now i have this pathetic, wet thing sitting on my lap shivering. haha.




















the joys of having a dog :)

Hair cut

Yup, folks. I got my hair cut. I have worn it long for several years and wanted a change. So I donated it for a 3rd time to Locks of Love. I actually like it too. It's gonna take some getting use to, but I like it.
















Tell me what you think

Jeff and Fritha....I will miss you!

Two of my favorite people are leaving me. Jeff and Fritha are moving to Florida. I'm am very sad about this. I've shed tears and I miss them already. (they are leaving Saturday but I won't see them before then) They have been great infulences to me. They have also shown me how to live your life for God. They are great examples. I love them so much and am going to miss them terribly.
So tonight we had a going away party for them. Of course, I took pics, I just don't want to forget them










Here is the cookie that I made special for them. Ethan gave me 1 7/8 thumbs up









My gorgeous friend Zarah. I love you girly!















I love you Jeff and I am going to miss you so much.















Fritha you are an amazing woman of God and I will always think of you as my big sister. I love you!
I'm praying for you guys!

Spring?

That's what it feels like outside. Today my family and I were all sitting out on the patio drinking coffee in t-shirts, and listening to music! It's crazy! It doesn't feel like January 6th, it feels more like a day in May to me. But I can't say that I mind this weather. I got to see some snow while I was in Maine and that was good enough for now
Well I have been missing taking pictures. I love my camera and photography so much so today I took some time and went around outside and took pics. Here are some of them.
























































Comments would be lovely!
