June 14th is my last day of seventh grade! This summer is going to be so fun. We're going camping a lot, fishing with Uncle Billy and I get to play with Aerie too!  She's so cute. She will turn 3 in July and I think Uncle Billy was talking about a big birthday party. I love parties. Maybe I can help!

Im having tons of sleep-overs with Shay too! I can't wait! So I'm really excited and so ready for summer vacation. HURRY UP JUNE 14th!

Ok well I gotta go get ready for school and…

I had a doctor's appointment this morning so I'm going to be going to school a little late. One good thing is that my mom said we could stop and get coffee and hot chocolate after the appointment so that makes it kind of ok. I had to get a shot today. I don't even know what it's for, something that the school makes us get and so yeah, my mom got a notice that I didn't have it so if I didn't get it by today, I wasn't allowed to go to school. I hate shots, everyone does, but I didn't cry or…

I love Springtime here in Romania. The flowers and fresh scent of newness is invigorating and stimulating. I have been sitting idle for months as my gallery continues it's success. I've hired a curator and someone to also manage the gallery as a whole. We're gearing up for our first exhibition of the 2017 year and I cannot be happier with how things are going.

As I sit here at home on the back patio and gaze across our property, my senses are completely filled with colour, fragrance,…

Yesterday I turned 13 ! I thought it would never happen! My mom started to pretend to cry now that she has two 'teenaged girls' in her house! 

So yesterday was fun, birthdays around here are a big deal and we don't just celebrate on our birthdays. We kinda stretch it out so it lasts a few days! Today is my actual birthday party so my mom is in the kitchen getting things ready. A few of my friends are coming over, my cousins and aunts and uncles and we're going to celebrate with some…

I'm SO excited! Tomorrow is my 13th birthday and I will be a teenager! Quil is coming over tomorrow after school and we're going to have a little birthday party. I can't wait! We're going to celebrate with grandma and grandpa and some of my aunts and uncles and cousins over the weekend. Birthdays in our family are sort of a big deal!

I asked my mom if we can get one of those Unicorn drinks from Starbucks, because really, it is a special occasion, right? She said, "YES!" and we just…

Tourist season keeps us busy here in Forks. There are a lot of hiking trails and camping places around here . While for the most part, it is a boost to our local economy, in other ways it just brings in a whole shipload of stupidity.

Tourist season is nicknamed "Idiot Season" around here for a reason.

This area has much to offer the outdoorsy type but it's not your typical outdoors. We have thick forests here that most people are not used to. The foliage is different and so are the…

ANYTHING HE WISHES!

My cousin Shay came over last night and we had so much fun! We did make up and then watched Beauty and the Beast! We went to bed really late so I'm so glad that tomorrow is Sunday and we can both sleep in a little! This morning we got up at 9 and made waffles and scrambled eggs and fresh squeezed orange juice! . Mom had to go to work so Quil came over to help us clean up from breakfast and then we made brownies! Shay LOVES brownies so we made 2 batches! One for her to take home and one for…

Why do I wake up at 5:30AM when I don't have to go to school? My mom says it's called 'Murphy's Law' and that means, basically, whatever can go wrong, will go wrong. Kinda funny but also really annoying since I could have slept till like 10AM ! Here it is 5:30 and I'm wide awake. The birds outside are so loud I guess that's what woke me up, I really don't know.  It's the last Friday of Spring break and Quil is coming over for pancakes at 9. I hope I can survive until then because I'm already…

Pretty accurate for me, if I do say so myself!

Today's the last day of the marking period at school. The teachers are going to turn in their grades tonight. The new marking period starts tomorrow. I can't believe it's already the fourth marking period then Summer!! I live for Summer! Quil said he's going to take me out to watch them cliff dive later this week. Maybe I can try it one day but for now all I'm allowed to do is watch. That's ok though, it's too cold anyway! Those guys are crazy! So I take pictures for them so they can post…

I thought I wouldn't survive the teething phase. I got through that pretty well. The crying made me feel sad for Aerie rather than angry for my loss of sleep. They can't help how they deal with pain. Jake never cried while he was teething and if Rachel and Rebecca did, I certainly don't remember it. Perhaps in time the teething memories will fade with this one too, who knows. Anyway. 

If there's one thing that IS consistent with all 4 of my kids, it's the Terrible 2s. I probably have the…

You may not believe it but I do get the occasional day off. Sue and I jumped in the jeep and hit the trail. We drove up the coastline, stopped along the way so Sue could snap some shots. The beach looks amazing even in the rain so it didn't matter that we were driving in and out of rain all day.

We headed north on the 101 and jumped on 112 and took the coastal route. It was a nice, easy drive.…

So yesterday I went to Alice's Birthday party. It was awesome! I'm not sure who decorated but yeah, they can come do my birthday party! I loved the flowers and balloons! The balloons were huge and round and had dim flashing lights in them to make them sort of glow. It was so cool! They had cupcakes, brownies, cookies and for lunch there was chili, Texas toast and chips and salsa. Texas toast is this huge chunk of bread that was totally covered in garlic butter. I'm going to ask my mom if we…

This is so cool! I'm sure a lot of you shop on Amazon . Now our school is part of that shopping experience!

Struck.

Have you ever been so overwhelmed by something good or bad that your entire world stops cold. Every second, molecule, atom just freezes as you catch up with the reality that this moment is really happening.

That is how I felt when I first saw Jasper. I knew what to expect..I had seen it in my visions over a million times. I knew what he would look and act like. I knew how the night would unfold. There should have been no surprises and yet, actually…

We're having supper with Billy and Tiffany tonight. I'm so excited because that means I get to play with Aerie! I know she's like 2 years old but she's so cute and funny! I love going there too because they have a sweet kitty named Snickers and my mom is not into cats, like at all. She says cats and dont mix. I think they would be fine. I want a cat!!

We're having some kind of chicken and rice and vegetables. Mom and I are bringing brownies that we made! They're still warm and gooey!…

At least it's an open book quiz and I can also use my notes. Still though, why for homework? I hate homework!!
