Late New Year Greetings

Happy Late New Year everyone! Sorry I'm so late on this post, I haven't gotten the chance to get on the internet for a long time(yes, yes, I'm a lame person with no internet at my house, with the exception of my cell phone which doesn't allow me to make good blog posts. Whatever.) but here I am finally!


Even though I'm more of a look ahead, not behind, type of person, this post, rather than talk about expectations and resoloutions for the future that'll probably never work out, I wanna talk about my quite eventful, quite topsy-turvy 2011.


First off, I switched houses at the beginning of the year. That was quite different. Me and my family had our own house in 2010, but now we live with my grandparents in their 2 bedroom house. Last year was so crazy as far as our location. We talked about moving everywhere you can imagine(which I really wouldn't have wanted) but we're(luckily for me) still in our normal town, with my grandparents. It may be cramped, but I love my family more than anything, so it's not as hard as it would be for some families, and I'm lucky and thankful to have somewhere to live at all. God has been very good to us.


2011 was a really hard year for me, because of the fact we lived in North Carolina for over 5 months. It was not fun, to say the least. I was away from my home, my friends, and everyone I know with the exception of my parents and my sister. I hated it and wished the whole time that I was home. That was definitely the worst thing about 2011. All I could think about was how much time I was wasting there, and what I could be doing if I were home.


With all the free time I had in NC, I did a lot of planning and scheming(those are things I'm very good at), and by the time we got home, I was featured in one of my favorite magazines, and set to interview my favorite band for my fan blog.(At least I got something accomplished ;)


I had sent a story to my favorite magazine, M Magazine's email just for fun, and a few days later they contacted me and told me I was going to be in their magazine, along with my sister and friend. By the time I was back in Florida, our issue was out, and I was super excited. It was kinda surreal seeing myself in a nationally famous teen magazine, on stands in Walmart and such. It was my first time in a magazine, so it was a big deal for me.


The biggest hilight of 2011, and actually of my whole life, was meeting and interviewing one of my favorite bands, Kicking Daisies. While in NC, I talked back and forth with Ben, from the band, and the bands tour manager, until I somehow managed to get an interview for me and my sisters fan blog. I had interviewed them via email before, and had talked to them several times online, but this was huge and undescribably exciting for me(music is sorta my life). Meeting them and interviewing them was such an honor and a pleasure. They are some of the nicest people I've ever met, and so down-to-earth. We're now good friends, and we talk so much now. They are so, so awesome and I would love to get to hang out again soon. <3 Their concert was as amazing as ever as well.

Other cool concerts I went to were Trans-Siberian Orchestra(just...wow they're amazing!) and Night Ranger(my favorite classic rock group). And also I'm so stoked, cause me and my sister got Allstar Weekend tickets for Christmas from our parents. YAY:D Can't wait for February 9th!!!

Oh, almost forgot, my mom's dream came true in 2011(LOL, mom!) cause me, her, and Mina met her favorite TV star, Daniel Curtis Lee, who plays Kojo in Zeke and Luther, at Epcot while he was there filming a commercial. He was really, really nice, down-to-earth, and cool. So yay, I met a TV star last year as well :)

What was good and bad about your year? COMMENT:)

Busy Busy Busy!

Hello Everyone! Sorry for the lack of posting, I just haven't gotten any chances to get on the internet lately(hence the title of this post!)


Monday night and Tuesday of last week, we spent time with our BFF's from New Jersey, Nicki and Alyssa Lenkel and their parents, and it was totally awesome! We spent the whole day on Tuesday at Magic Kingdom, from 9:30 to 4:30, and we had so much fun! We rode all the rides and had a great time! Sadly, I didn't get any pics because I lost my camera, but Nicki and Alyssa did, and I got some videos that I will soon post on youtube:)



We are officially moved into our new house, we moved in the night before last, and it's been...crazy to say the least! There's boxes and things everywhere, and I'm still on the search to find my make-up in the boxes...GRRRR lol:) But it's been fine, I think the dogs are a little confused as to where they are though, lol.


Hope you have a terrificul week, keep your head held high!

Lot's Of News (Good and Bad)

Hello People Of The Internet;)


Well, my birthday came and went, and it was fun, we went to Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort, which was a lot of fun for a pirate freak like me, although it was kinda hard to feel the Caribbean vibe in the forty degree weather;)


We had to postpone my Alice in Wonderland themed B-day party because I got some weird 24 hour thing the day of, but that will be happening next week.


Okay, here's the bad news...
we are moving.

Well, it's not super traumatic, it's only three blocks away from where we live now, but it's still a pretty big deal. There are a couple reasons for it, the main one being that our Uncle Nate and Aunt Charlotte need a place to live and they are paying us to live in our house. We will be moving in with my grandparents, which is kinda annoying because their house is pretty small for all of us, and part of the time we will have to live in their garage(that my dad wants to fix up). but if you wanna know the truth of the matter, I'm not happy about it at all. It may seem selfish, but I really would like to stay in a house of our own, with my own room and such. But I don't really have much of a choice in the matter, and anyway it's gonna be best for everyone else, so I just have to pray that everything will work out.


Please pray for me and my family.
