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!

wow. that's a lot of typing! :)
and you already know this, but i'm just reminding you.
but i've been praying for your family, and you, and your grandpa.
so if you ever have some hard days, where you can't get this stuff off your mind, just think about your big toe! :) (insider)
love you!
