Hi guys: You know, I bet a lot of people can still remember their first day of grade nine. I can still remember mine. I was LITERALLY crying on my way to school. I wanted to go back to Townsend Central quite badly. I had no clue where to go, what do, none of it. Quite a few people from my middle school had gone on to H.T. but none of them were friends of mine. I was scared to death. Little did I know... little did I see of what would come... the Musical Revue in grade nine, singin' 'A Little Fall of Rain' with Twyman Finding out how great drama really was, T.V.N.!!! Which speaks for itself. And if it doesn't, we all know Jordan Glenn will!! Law with Mr. Masschaele, Gr. 11 Drama that was brutal in the beginning and then ROCKED at the end, PROM!! Lil' ol' me in grade nine didn't fore-see any of that. With each grade it just keeps getting better and better. That's how Adelle put it So, I'm thinking this year should be really good I WILL miss all my friends who've gone on to university and college though!! Work hard guys!!

I'll check in later. More later.

Hi guys: just thinkin' about my family. Not my close family that I LIVE with, but kinda...extended family. I miss my aunt and my grandfather a lot. they past away three or four years ago, but if I think hard enough, it's just yesterday that they past away. Everything's changed. Our family gatherings simply aren't the same, and they are few and far between. I was having issues with someone in the family, and I detested going to family gatherings beofre,. Now, thigns are o.k., and we don't even get to see each other much. It's kinda frustrating. I miss Auntie Janet... ;( She and my mom always "fed off of each other". One woujld act silly, and then the other woudl chime in. And then everyone would roll their eyes and laugh. I haven't even been back to my uncle Brad's house since my Auny Janet passed away. Kinda weird. The opportunity just hasn't come up. One of those moments where I wish I could rewind and live in the past.

     *Sigh* God gives me trials to mature and to trust Him more. Sometimes they are more painful then I like them to be. I was talking to someone the other day who didn't know whether he wanted to become a Christian or not, and he wanted to know why he had had to go through the pain that he did, why he had to see the thgins that he did. Those are questions that only God could answer. What's that quote?? Doesn't it go something like "With great knowledge, comes great heart-ache." K, that's not it....

     Have you ever has one of those moments where you thought:"Wow!! I REALLY wish I hasn't known that! Why couldn't I have been IGNORANT of that??? I would have been so much happier. I'm rambling mindlessly on... I should go. Ciao for now.
