"Se cae el cielo y que más da tenemos nuestro mundo"

Last night my family got home from our trip to Arizona. It was a lot of fun! There is nothing that brings you closer to your family then all 12 of you being in the same car for 12+ hours. My cousin, Marylee, got married on Saturday. It was a beautiful wedding and her husband seemed pretty cool. I didn't really get to talk to him.



One of my other cousins, Kelsey (Marylee's little sister), got engaged while we were down there visiting. It was really sad because no one in her family really approved of the match. When I asked some of my other cousins what they thought of him one said, "He's alright" and another flat out said that he didn't like him. Her parents have been discouraging her from marrying him and even when she first told me that she was engaged I just didn't feel very happy for her. It was sad! It was so different from Marylee's wedding. I just don't want her to do anything she will regret. She is only 19 and he is 22 (I think). I think she feels like getting married younger means that she is more attractive and more mature than the girls who get married later. I just feel bad for her.



On the other hand...my sister Debbie brought her boyfriend on our trip. She has never had a boyfriend before so we know it is pretty serious. It was the first time we had met him (yeah, the car trip made a great impression). His name is Elio Valenzuela and he is from Chile. He is really cool! I really liked him and I am crossing my fingers for a wedding this fall.



Well I hope you all had a good weekend while I was gone and that everyone has a wonderful day!

"Made my whole body a weapon"

Wow...I really stink at using computers. I have been trying to get into my blog for about a month and I just figured out why I couldn't and it is just because I had no idea what I was doing. I feel so stupid. Oh well.


School is over and I am so happy. I am excited to not have any more homework. I am going to miss my friends but I will see a lot of them doing other things this summer so it's all good.


We had our first Cross Country run today and it wasn't that bad. I was really nervous about it but we didn't run very far and they really let everyone run at their own pace. It was great! I am pretty proud of myself because I was able to run the whole time and I didn't feel like I needed to stop until I was on about the last 1/4 mile. It was just good and I am excited to keep training with the team. I am hoping it will help me get in better shape for some of the hikes my family has planned this summer.


Well, I am just really happy that I finally figured out how to get back in. I hope you all have a wonderful night!
