Life guys

Well, I havent written in a while, and I am completely bored tonight, so here we go.

So, I have a full time-ish babysitting job. I babysit for this family that has the cutest baby and a disabled four year old, a 8 year old and a 11 year old. They are the sweetest family ever, and the four year old boy has taught me so much. He can't talk or walk very well or do much. I usually read books and play with toys with him and do the therapy exercises the therapists have taught me to do. He always has the BIGGEST smile on his face and it is absolutely adorable! I've been there for the first time the little guy said a word and have helped him with his walking and it has been such a joy and I have learned more about putting others in front of myself. I do love getting payed, but I enjoy spending my Tuesdays helping them with whatever they need. Also I have another family who wants me to start babysitting Monday afternoons. I feel like I am always really busy with these things. Sometimes, I feel like need to take off sometimes and concentrate more on my homework.

I feel like I have been struggling a lot this year with school. Especially English. I hate when I spend hours on a writing assignment and then get a terrible grade on it. I spent at least five or six hours writing a short story, and I totally failed it. I can never seem to good grades in the writing part. I am going to see my English teacher next week to try to figure it out. If anyone is really good at writing, hit me up ;) Besides that I am pretty constant. I think freshman year is definitely the hardest for anyone. Going from middle school to high school is a huge change, and so much harder than people expect. I can only hope next year will be better.

Well guys, I like someone... I don't really want to admit it, but I do. He goes to my church, and is the absolute sweetest guy I have ever met. He is 6' 3" so he is really tall and really cute. Me and my friends from church went to skate city the other week, and it was super fun. Me and Ryan skated together for like ten minutes! My friends said they were "tired" and we talked and skated and did all the little game things together because my other friends wouldn't do it. It was absolutely the best time ever. I never really though I would like him in that way, until Sunday night, even though I have known him for a year. He's seen me after not showering for 3 days on a mission trip, so I think he is a pretty non judgmental of me (which is really good). The first time I ever talked to hi, we were both on dishes duty, and we were scrubbing pans with toothbrushes. He also gives the best hugs and is not at all awkward. Did I already say he is the best? My heart kind of skips a beat when I think about it. He is the best and ah!!! I cant even handle how much I like him. I don't know if anything will come from it, but if it does... I would definitely not mind.

Oh! So in July, I am going on a mission trip to Montana! BTW Ryan used to live there, just thought I'd point that out ;) We are going to run a kids club and do service projects. I have two churches kind of (really confusing) but I am going to the one that I usually go to for service. I don't really know anyone except for like 2 people, so I am hoping and praying that I make really good friends on this trip. I really want to be more connected there so it is my prayer that God allows me to connect with someone. I would love it if y'all would pray for my trip too! We need all the prayer we can get to make this trip a success.

Well guys, sorry this was so long, but I hope you enjoyed catching up on my life.
