audrey said to post a blog..

so i'm posting one! ha. we just took the benchmark in science... again. anyway- and now i'm just listening to music and typing about whatever is on my mind. eek, well my birthday is in 5 more days! i'm so excited to be 14 :) oh and this week i bought Taylor Swift's new CD and i love love loveeee it! my favorite song on there is called Fifteen. even though i'm not fifteen yet, i can relate to all the things that go on during the song. except the whole becoming a famous singer and all. cause uh. i can't sing to save my life! ha. dang, well if you want an update on my grandapa, here it is: i think friday or saturday hospice gave him a couple of days, but he is still alive! he ONLY talks to us in Czech anymore. of course, none of us can really talk back that well. i kinda expect him to die either today or tomorrow. but i am SO thankful for all of my friends praying for me and for audrey taking me in for the past few days! but they have all been a fantastic support system and i don't know how i'm ever going to pay them all back for what they have done for me! but on a happy note, i had such a great weekend with my cousin. she is from vernon and she came down on saturday and i taught her the drag in childress and showed her around this big ol' town. we talked about everything. and how we got the good family genes. haha. you just had to be there. but yeah, more the next few days. love you!

updates!

wow! i haven't written anything on here in a LONG time. and a ton of things have happened since i last wrote something-

basketball has started up again and i get to be manager again this year. and hopefully hannah will be helping me out, too! another thing is that coach hardin is like, days away from getting to come back to school! everyone is completely ready for him to get back. we all miss him so much! school is weird without him, so it'll be great when he gets here. (and its the monday after my birthday, November 29th, so its the best birthday gift ever!)

another really cool thing going on right now and for the next few months is that i will be going to the grand canyon with some other kids from school on spring break. i am so excited to be getting to go. until the actual trip, all of us will be thinking of ways to raise money to reach our goal to get to go on the trip. everyone can't wait to get started!

and the most important and hardest thing of all: on November 5, i found out that my grandpa has cancer of the brain, heart, liver, lungs, kidney, spleen, stomach, spinal chord, spine, and ribs. they gave him a few weeks to live. and now he has 7-10 days. the doctors said that he will probably go into a coma before he actually dies; so we never know when the last time he wakes up will really be his last. but i'm just really grateful to all the people that have kept my family in their prayers. it really does help a lot. and my friends...! wow! they have been absolutely amazing through out this whole thing. even people i didn't think could care less about me have been texting me saying their family has been praying for me. it really means so so sooo much to my family and me.

but yeah, thats what all is going on in my life right now. its been a crazy month. just when i think last month was crazy, all this hits me. but i know that with the help of my friends and the strength of God, i'll be able to get through it. just gotta take it one day at a time!

ugh. bad week.

wow. this has been a terrible week! first, obama has been elected president, which i totally don't like, but whatever. i can't change it and couldn't do anything about it in the first place. i know i'll probably get a lot of comments about that, but guess what. i don't care! so different subject. well, today i found out that my grandpa has cancer of the brain, heart, lungs, spleen, liver, kidney's, and spinal chord. (i think thats it.) he only has a few more weeks to live; so yeah, it's not really a fun time for my family right now. but other than that, nothing is really going on in my life. so just leave me comments and stuff. okay; love you.
