Hellooooooooo!
Yikes, so I haven't exactly posted in awhile. Bad habit!
Argh, and now I'm not sure where to start...Way too much! Well, to start off with I will just say that you know that little promise I made to myself about being nicer and such? Man, it sure is a lot easier said than done. I messed up so many times it's not even funny. But I haven't given up! I will keep trying of course...And I've noticed that the more I try the more God challenges me. I stumbled upon a sort of challenge today...But I'll get to that later on. Right now I'll just go down the line of what I've done so far in this new Summer year!
Sooo...Where to begin? Last post was the 16th, so I'll start with the following days, only in very brief detail. (Using facebook status' to remember, haha!)
The day after that I played hide and seek(the only thing I remember from that day lol) with my siblings and discovered that night isn't as dark as it used to be when we were little! I could see much easier than them so I felt like I was cheating.
On the 18th it rained a whole bunch so I couldn't go hiking. So instead I stayed at home and texted Colin while cooking 11 dozen chocolate chip cookies for my dad for fathers day! It was rather amusing, I also watched my little sister Anne play Wii fit and listened to my little brother, Peter, listen to 80's music! Good stuff, no? Oh yeah! And I also sat for 2 hours telling those two a story from a book and one I made up!
On Father's day we, unfortunately we left early from Church(my dad does that so often) so I missed out on saying hi to a friend who just came back from a filming college in California. But it was Father's Day after all so I had to suppress my disappointment and follow along. When we got home, however, my emotions got the better of me and I began to cry. My mom came into my room asking what was wrong and I told her I was having a hard time saying Happy Father's Day to dad. It's a horrible thought and I feel so ashamed for saying it now. But after a long talk with my mom I discovered something about my dad. He isn't like other dads, the kind that play with their kids and such, he is a Provider. He does everything in his power to provide for us, the food on our plates, the roof over our heads and the clothes on our back, whatever it takes. Sure some dads can do that and be happy, but I've learned to accept that difference because of what he has done for us. We have such a nice house and everything and now he is working hard to keep it that way without a job. I still get angry with him, but I'm trying, I really am! God please help me with my impatience with my dad.
Anyway, the rest of Father's Day went very well. He really liked the cookies so I am very glad about that!
So moving on, as of Monday the
20th I began walking/jogging every morning! On our treadmill using a Wii game so it wasn't as fun as out in nature, but oh well, it works! Since then I've walked a total of 16+ miles! =)
On the 21st it was the first day of summer and it was BEAUTIFUL! So I decided to spend it outside. Of course the only way to spend it outside was to go up our Mt. Peak. and the only way to go up Mt. Peak was to go with someone and that someone had to be Colin because everyone else is lazy. =P So yeah, I did that and worked on the garden. It was a great day!
On the 22nd it just rained a lot so I stayed inside and played a computer game I love.(Elder Scrolls: Oblivion if you're curious) Which I beat so now I can just fool around on the game, haha!
On the 23rd I don't think I did anything but I did get to make plans with a friend of my of 10 years so on the 24th I went to the mall with her and got to hang out at her house with her sister and nephew and new puppy! So that was really fun. =)
On the 25th I went up our Mt. peak again with some friends of mine from the church choir and the friend who came back from California for two weeks. It was sooo much fun! I missed hanging out with them so much, I forgot what it was like to be with Catholic friends! Haha, I hope that makes sense.
We climbed all over that mountain, up the front, down halfway the back, up the side and then down the front again! I was so energetic after that, and then I went to bed and slept like a baby. ;D
Anyway, after hanging out with them I realized I had become very lazy with my religious life. I started reading the Bible again that night. I find that the Old Testament is very hard to read. x)
On the 26th was my brother Peter's 10th birthday and also our priests last day at our Church. So we celebrated his birthday by opening gifts and playing around and then we went to Church for a farewell potluck for Father. It was very very good to see so many people there! Not quite everyone was there, but enough to make me very happy. We even got to play a short, halfhearted game of Frisbee. =)
We went home after it was over and had some cousins over for cake and ice cream for Peter.
All in all a very good day!
Starting Monday things started to look a little bleak. I don't really have time to fill you in since it's rather late, so I'll post another blog post tomorrow! =)
Goodnight and God Bless!
