Sorry it's been so long since I've updated. I've been a little busy, and a little under the weather. Last week were my co-op finals, and I must say, I am so relieved that they're over! I'm also very grateful, because my overall class grades were all A's. I'm so blessed because I know God has really helped me through my first year of high school. I'm almost positive that I wouldn't have survived if it weren't for God's faithfulness to help me through! Now that I've finished half my subjects off, I have math, history, and German to finish off the school year. Aside from school, things have been about the same! May promises to be a busy month as we have two guests coming to stay with us for a few weeks. First, this Monday my grandma is coming to visit us, and to stay for Aliya's high school graduation. A few days later our great friend Rachel is flying in for Aliya's graduation, Next, and some social time :) This will be a fun change to have company for a couple weeks. Finally, what's a blog post without at least a couple pictures? Well, the first few pictures kind of explain what the weather has been like lately: Dull. Most of the week has been rainy and humid, but I shouldn't complain, because after the rainy will just come hot summer days! The rest of the pictures are just random ones I took at a Football game :)
This is what happens to our ground when it's been raining for 2 weeks :P
This is like the first picture I've taken of people for almost 2 weeks. Very bad I know hehe
More of what the ground looks like when it's been raining so often :)
Thank you God for always being faithful! I always know that although my life goes through so many changes, you are the one thing that will always remain steadfast.Deuteronomy 7:9 Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands.
A Sunset
Two water bottles that were just sitting on the side of the road :)
ewwww I guess this is a mushroom...or something like that?
My favorite view when we walk home from the park.
My favorite tree when we walk home from the park.
A random picture that Rachel took...idk what it is exactly...

Delicious lemonade =] (I took these pictures on the dashboard of our car while were driving on the highway)
One of my favorite brands of soda!
Yum! it's mandarin lime, and soooo good.
This speaks for itself.
Camille, a natural beauty hehe :)
Yes, it's a Felix Ray.
And that's the end of my randoms today. I'll probably have more in the near future...
Tomorrow is my LAST DAY OF CO-OP!!! I'm so excited, because after I finish co-op, I will only have 3 subjects until the end of May :) I have a few big projects that I have to present tomorrow, so hopefully I do ok on those! After tomorrow I should have more time to post.
Until then...
Ok, I will be very busy these next two weeks, so I probably won't be posting much! I am staying busy by finishing up my final assignments for co-op. Hope everybody is doing good =]
That's all for now!

Everything around here has been about the same. The weather has been a little depressing recently because it's been cold and rainy almost every day for 2 weeks. I just can't wait until all the days start being warm and nice outside :) School is pretty much the same. I have about a month and a half left, then I'm DONE! I'm really excited about the thought of being finished with school! This week and next week I have 2 light weeks of school for spring break, which is nice. Currently in Literature class we are reading Great Expectations, and at the end of the year we're having a tea party. The downside (at least in my opinion hehe) is that each of us has to act like our characters. I have Molly as my character, so I won't have any major acting parts :) I'll have more to say about that later.
Things have been going great, and I can't believe it's already April! (I say that for every month) Hope you all are doing good.
That's all for now

*I'll try to post some pictures sometime this week, or next week.
Well I finally finished my no sugar month! I didn't pig out
too much, just a cinnamon roll, some girl scout cookies, and ice cream! I'm glad that I could make it through without breaking down :) Pretty much everybody was asking me why I even did the no sweets thing. Basically, I felt that sweets and sugar were becoming a big thing in my life, and they became an idol to me. I felt like I needed to fast the thing that was becoming more important to me than God. Like Mr. Rogers said in his message on Sunday, we fast to show our dependence on God. I was only able to give up sweets by the grace of God. Whenever I craved sweets, I was reminded how much I depend on God to help me. I'm glad I could fulfill my goal, and I think I'm going to go for another month!!!..... haha April fool's! :)
Well that's all for now,
thanks for reading!

Happy April 1st!
