Busy!

I seem to be doing a lot of apologizing lately for not posting much. :) Life has been keeping me rather busy. There are only 24 school days left (but who's counting?). I also had my school banquet and overnighter Friday/Saturday, and that was quite fun. I'll post some pictures later. I slept in until 4:00 pm Saturday, which was a new record and one I don't plan on repeating until next year's banquet rolls around. :) I decided which Honor classes to take next year; hopefully I'll end up in Honors English, Honors Bio I, and Honors Social Studies. For my electives, I'll be taking Personal Finance and Creative Writing. Anyhoo, that's the news from here.......

Massachussets trip!

On Tuesday, I got home from having spent five days with my older brother and sister in MA. It was such a wonderful time! Their dog Selchie had eight puppies in mid-February, four girls and four boys. Last July, they had invited me out to stay for a few days, and thanks to Frequent Flyer Miles, I made it out there. :) Most puppies are cute, but I think Irish Water Spaniels are among the cutest. With curly dark hair all over and the sweetest eyes ever, these puppies were probably the most adorable I've ever seen. On this trip, I.....

• got to spend awesome time with my older siblings
• cuddled the puppies!!
• experienced the frenzy of feeding eight small puppies
• cleaned up more poop than you would think eight pups can produce
• flew about 1000 miles by myself
• saw the pups on their second trip outside; they absolutely love the outdoors!
• did crafty stuff, such as making zipper pulls and putting together binders for the new puppy owners
• went to Flatbreads, the BEST pizza place in the entire world
• throughly enjoyed myself: Jer and Kim, thanks for such an awesome time!!!!!

Since I didn't take the camera with me, I have no pictures to show you, but if you click this link, you can see plenty of puppy pictures!
