Summer Changes.

Summer seems to be drifting away. These past months have seemed strangely empty. I say strangely because I have been doing many things!

         I went on the most amazing week long Catholic retreat. The talks were so inspirational and helped me with so many things. We had a day of silence, and though I confess that I was not always silent the times that were quiet really moved me. I was not looking forward to the silence as I find it hard to not talk xD. But I really think some of my best memories were from that silently wonderful day. (We had an hour of adoration in the chapel at 11 pm <3)

          I also assisted with a kids program at church and that was really fun, attended a dance and experienced our first staycation. As well as that, in the beginning of summer, there was play practice. But once the first retreat ended not much happened. Only lots of book reading and Tutus Tuus. Of course, it has been a wonderful summer despite the lack of crazy activity. Being with my family has been so fun! 

          Maybe I should amend my first paragraph. The past month has been strangely empty. I guess I know why even if I cannot say it... I will say this, though. I had been in a play, but because of some saddening things my siblings and I had to leave it. The play usually fills my summer to overflowing.
          Leaving the play was rather hard, but when I think about it, maybe it was for the best. If I had been in the play I would not have been able to go to either retreat. My summer would have been so stressful and crraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazzzyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!! My whole family would 've had to deal with the stress. This way we were able to relax and take a break from constant worry over the play. (Well, maybe I was the only constant worrying wart face of doom hehe)
   

         So even though having to leave the play hurt and sometimes still does, when God closes a door, He opens a window...... Or maybe many many windows!  


I hope your summer had been lovely and filled with goodness as mine has been!


God bless!



LOVE YOU GUYS!
Love your, 
silly, crazy confusing, weird, happy and (as always) filled with unique IMPRESSIONS

P.S I know the impression thing makes no sense, but it did to me back when I started the blog, so now I feel wrong when I don't say that at the end of a post!!!!

love y'all! BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It's too bad about the play, but it's good there were at least some advantages to not being in it this year! I hope you'll get to be in a good play next year.

    Hey Emma,
    I'm so sad that you couldn't do the play this year but I'm really happy that you were able to come to Duc In Altum!

I Entered a Writing Contest!?!?!

I entered a writing contest today. and holy moly I am nervous!  Especially after reading my entry, because I saw thing i want to change but I've already sent it in! i will give you the story exactly like it was when i sent it in though  I really want to get 3rd place or an honorable mention , ( there is no way i can get 2nd or 1st ) I have never had my writing judged by real judges before so i am kinda dying. But I think my storey is good.       Anyway, here is the link to the monday minute challenge, you guys should enter! Okay, so they give you things you have to incorporate in your story, you can use one, or all of them, but you have to have at least one in your story. I only used one, a mirror. My submission is 225 words Revealing Reflection        In its reflection, I saw myself as I really was. I remembered as I looked at my myself now, how I used to feel when I looked into a mirror, I was always left dissatisfied, and hurt. “I wasn’t pretty enough, I had too many freckl

It makes me happy

            You know what makes me happy? We have these sunflower seeds that we got for the chickens we have. Sometimes I take a handful and throw them around the yard near the window beside the spot where I do almost all my school, that way birds will come and eat the seeds. So when I look out my window during school hours I sometimes see 1 to 8( or some, idk xD) birds there, and it's so lovely.they are so brightly colored, and sometimes they sing.       I wish I could whistle like a bird, one of my many brothers can whistle a lot like a mourning dove. Anyway, the birds just kind of fill me with happiness and peace.and if I look up from the ground I see the  neighbors yard. It looks so beautiful with all the new, freshly colored leaves and the flowers blooming there. it's all just too wonderful. Spring is an amazing thing.      Isn't it nice that God has made so many beautiful things for us to enjoy? Imagine a world without birds? or dogs? Or books!! Or families that lov
