The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies
I just love the Hobbit series! Sadly, this December the last Hobbit movie comes out. I will miss going to see them in theaters; the last two years my dad and I have gone and seen the first two movies, both times right after Christmas, so it is like a Christmas-break tradition that I will […]
My First 4-H Fair!
This year my sister and I participated in the 4-H for the first year, so the upcoming fair was our first as well. The 4-H fair events started Friday, August 1, 2014, when a dance was held on the fairgrounds. I went to the dance with my two friends, Alex and Seth, and it was […]
My First Wedding!
Last September, my cousin Christine got engaged and planned to get married in June. I was not only excited for her but excited because I had never been to a wedding before.

The Journey With Braces Is Over! (Hello Retainers.)
On St. Patrick’s Day (March 17, 2014), I finally got my braces off! It actually didn’t take that long, as the orthodontist used a tool to basically grind the braces off, so they disintegrated. The luck of the Irish was with me because it didn’t hurt! I got my braces on in August of 2011, […]
Happy Birthday To My Crazy Dog, Maggie!
My dog Maggie is almost 5 years old, and will turn so on April Fool’s Day (and it fits her personality!). My family got Maggie in May of 2009, who is very smart but also very goofy and lovable. By the way, she usually uses her smarts to get her into trouble! She is a […]
