I kinda got a heads up a couple days ago that I haven't posted in a while from a darling influence in my life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My heart becomes heavy with this knowledge that I have left my blog to shrivel up and suffer while I blossom in my Instagram art account. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But with a week off of CBA, I feel a little bit of freedom softening my heart to come back and water the roots from which my online endeavors began.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I love how dramatic this is getting)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shall we begin again with my 17th Birthday?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Church was cancelled and snow fell from heavy clouds unleashing their burden on our lawn.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pleased was I, as I got to stay in my sweatpants all day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which.....I kinda do almost everyday anyway.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But still!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of my favorite things.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While event planning for my birthday, I tried to go to an art museum, but dad didn't want to go to Washington D.C. so then I tried to find a local theater play, which were all sold out, and then tried to find a reasonable movie in the theater, with no luck, so last resort- Walmart's movie section. Haha.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We watched 'Guardians of the Galaxy', I found it kind of hard to follow, but I liked Groot.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They also got me 'Dolphin Tale 2' but didn't want to watch it with me. (Thanks guys..)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I've picked up 'Lord of the Rings' as my challenge this year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found a copy at the Thrift Shop a couple weeks ago.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes, I already own a couple copies, but they're very nice editions...I wanted one I could toss in a bag whenever we hit the rode somewhere, without having to worry about damaging it.</div>

I've pulled our wooden rocking chair in front of the wood stove when I take it downstairs to read in the evening. It's the most wonderful setting I've ever had while reading.</div>

Don't you just love the Argonath bookends?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was the most agonizing item I've ever purchased in my life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ebay bids.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sweat beading.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But I made it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Turns out they're extremely rare because Weta sold them for a very short time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I didn't even follow a tutorial.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found a floral shirt I was giving away, some burlap, and ribbon and cut triangles and sewed them together.</div>

This was also for art class, where we found a leaf that had the shape of something in it, and then put it in 2 to 4 steps of the leaf morphing into something else. I chose to do only 2 steps because I saw the hummingbird from the beginning.</div>

One night later. THBAMM!</div>

"Oh dear, Oh dear!" Norman the light keeper exclaimed. Norman couldn't figure out why the light wasn't working. He threw on his raincoat and grabbed some firewood in hopes of creating something like a beacon, but the wood was too wet. It was no use.</div>

For my drawing class we were supposed to draw this Rhino with a creative flare....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I thought of an idea Wednesday night, too late to turn in Thursday morning.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, I handed this in, but I'm working on my creative one this week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't really have to turn it in, but we'll see how it turns out!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I may not even like it....haha.</div>

Bible Question: (for school)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What would attract someone to the worship of an idol?</div>
<br />
<br />
For some reason, worshiping an idol underneath God just seems to grab at you and draw you in, and the temptations are like a storm in the ocean, big waves crashing over you, and you can see where the storm ends, but can't get to it. Living a life of temptation and idol worship is the path that is chosen more often, people find it more easy and fun, than trying to live and walk in Christ's footsteps, But out of that path, comes nothing good. The only path that is fruitful, is one following the Lord.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, first off, I finally bought my ipod!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After babysitting and dog watching, I finally made enough!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I basically just got it so I could post to my art instagram more.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's crazy how that's pushed me along to do more art.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'll be like "AH! oh no! I have nothing to post and it's been 5 days...*shrug* I'll just make something new"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've gone through phases of just giving up on art, and this is the longest I've gone continuously doing it, and I know I'll continue once CBA starts back up, because I'm taking an art class!</div>

I went along with Mug Swap this year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You sign up on a lady blogger's site, fill out your address, etc, she gives your address to someone, and sends you an address, but the person you're sending to doesn't know who you are until your package comes. It was a lot of fun!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I went with an apple & red theme for my swapper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was hard to figure out her style from her description of herself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But it was fun! I might do it again next year.</div>

I remember from my old church in VBS kids would bring in their lunches and some of them would have these little round, personal cheese wheels, and I wanted to try it so badly!</div>

Let's seeeeee.....what has happened lately?<br />
<br />
<br />
Most recently was the CBA Yearbook Workshop. We have 12 staffers this year and.... we're all girls! Our teacher said that this is a very odd year because normally boys dominate the yearbook staff.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The first day was photography, so we all got a half hour outside taking pictures.<br />
<br />
I had Rachel run down the driveway and Maureen, who was closest to the camera, hold out her hand and look down, and had Rachel put her hands on her hips and look up.<br />
I think it turned out looking really cool!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first day a half hour before the workshop was over, we all got oversized t-shirts and were told to refashion them for a fashion show the following day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had just told Rachel that it would be really cool if our t-shirts this year said "Oh Snap!" And had a camera logo. Therefore, I made one myself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and hashtag: we're all in this together (from high school musical)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And while everyone else was making a shirt, I went out of the box and made a bag.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And goodness everyone was saying I was going to win, I had the creativity part down,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but not the presentation part, they brought out two more lady teachers from CBA, and that made it even more nerve-wrecking to walk the runway, I admit, I sped through, and my bag was a little more than a blur to them, by the time I was off, the yearbook rep was still reading the card about what I created. whoopsies. </div>

All in all, I'm really excited to see what our staff can put together this year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We've got our theme down, but that's a secret.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our wonderful teacher and the 5 editors are getting together separately before CBA classes start to iron out some quirks and figure out our theme more.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mandie passed away.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Though they said she died with a heart attack.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I believe she died in peace, with heaven's gates opening, and God stepping through and watching her trot towards Him, and wagged her tail, meeting God for the first time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He's taking care of her until I can be up there with her again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is my poem I managed to write yesterday while pain and loneliness was all I felt:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
'I will never get enough</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of her touch</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of her smell</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of her comfort</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For there is no way to record</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the ways she smells when she's wet</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
her shivers during a storm</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
how her soft brown eyes would comfort me when I was upset</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She has always been</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
my best friend</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
my protector</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
my joy</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will never be ready </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to let her go</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to forget her</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to move on</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will always</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
love her</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
care for her</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
remember her</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She has always been more than a dog or a friend</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She was my family.'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And all those hugs I have given her now seem priceless, because as I want them most right now and I can't hug her again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All of her kisses, licking my face, and sometimes even my feet because she was so silly, now feels like something gone, gray in the distance.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How she would be so annoying during supper time, demanding she have some of our human food as her own.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How she would come into a room so happy sometimes, and if you were on the floor, you'd be rewarded with a whack on the head from her tail.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Even watching her happy little behind as we took her on walks and we would get so embarrassed because she would drop a load, and we didn't have a bag with us to pick it up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How she would run through the house and you'd have to rush to the sliding glass door to let her out on the deck, because once her walk was over, a dip in her dog pool, and a nap came immediately behind it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How our front door has her nose art smeared all over it from sitting too close to the door while watching the traffic drive by.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How she would come rub her body against the couches when she was wet, a habit we were never able to break.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The way she would press her pink nose against my door in the morning, I'd hear her nails clip clap on the wooden floor and feel her wet nose come up to my head on the bed telling me to wake up, for the night was too long for us to be apart.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How after that, she would go over to my aquarium and lick up any dropped fish food on the floor.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How she'd be laying on the floor, and I'd widen her front legs and sit there as if I was sitting on her lap.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How when I would be cuddled in her bed and she'd rest her head somewhere on my body.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I loved that feeling.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mandie had so many wonderful quirks that can never be replaced.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She was unforgettable.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love you, sweet girl.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With all my heart.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The recent honeysuckle sunset forced me to run in to the house and grab my camera.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was just too beautiful to forget.</div>

My really late 4th of July events:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made root beer ice cream! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had to make it twice because mom got me evaporated milk instead of sweetened condensed milk.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The second go-around was much tastier.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While sitting by the ice cream maker, I decided that this is actually a really nice part of the yard that I don't visit often enough, of course, there's a view of the neighbor's house.</div>

We didn't get together with any family this Fourth of July.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was kinda boring.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Everybody went off and did their own thing, so I painted my nails!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The best part was our camp fire and watching the neighbor's illegal fireworks being set off.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yay! Haha</div>

I never paint my nails.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I like just plain snow white nail polish, and that's about it!</div>

I bought 'mini' brushes!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They're ideal for small projects such as 4x4 canvases, lightswitches, and so forth.</div>

I can't wait to use them!</div>

My very first wood project is complete!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I faced the scary wood cutter and sander!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I sliced my fingers a bit working with the sharp edges on the sander, but it was worth it!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They had outgrown their 5 gallon aquarium.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I never knew how much I would miss them until they were in the bucket heading over to her house.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The whole bottom half of the page was green...and I found it very boring, so I grabbed some music sheet paper (found in a stack in the trash can) and grabbed two slices of dad's big league chew gum to make an adhesive to stick it to my journal.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes, it wasn't even an hour into the trip and I got really redneck because I didn't have tape.</div>

We got to Berkeley Springs so fast! As soon as I was finished touching up on my doodle, we were there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So we walked through downtown and explored some shops.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Britney and I walked into a flea-market building.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There were fossils, a giraffe bone, and huge gem stones!</div>

After we checked in at the lodge, we rode up the mountain trail to the overlook, the ride up was terrifying because there was no guardrail, and a very sharp drop awaiting us, but once we got to the top, it was absolutely breathtaking. From this spot, you can see four states!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Virginia.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After we peeled ourselves away from the view, it was time to find a place to eat for supper, and I went back to doodling.</div>

I loved it in the evenings because we would go to the ground floor, and grab a rocking chair on the long patio, look out to the mountains and read our books. I loved hearing the silence. </div>

The following day we went to the lake and I got to go Kayaking!</div>

In Maryland, you have to be 18 and older to kayak, in West Virginia, you only have to be 12!</div>

After Semi-Formal I had Rachel and Dolores come back to my house for a sleep over with pizza, and chick flicks. Amanda and Noelle came as well and brought Just Dance for wii.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We played for quite a few hours.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was our favorite dance. We couldn't stop laughing. I played the pineapple.</div>

At the point where they turn and clap hands, I was saying "Watermelon!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Strawberry!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Watermelon!"</div>
"Strawberry!"<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Watermelon!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And Amanda is just like "Uhh, Bannana!!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I laughed so hard. Probably because we were so tired.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a good night! And a little bit more fun than Semi-Formal itself.</div>

I've been keeping up with my nature journal. I'm not adding to it everyday, and it's mostly flowers for now, but it's so much fun!</div>

I just finished up "The Fault In Our Stars" by John Green.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm not really sure how I feel about the book. I don't think I recommend it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There was more foul language than I like to slip by, so just for that factor, I don't think it's worth reading again. </div>

Last week I went outside to be with Mandie (our dog) and as I made my way towards her, my heart rate jumbled as I saw a long green thing laying in the grass.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A snake!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mom came outside when she heard me yell and said there was "red" in my voice, so she could tell something was wrong. While mom was coming out, I stood very still and held Mandie back, watching the snake's tongue flicker. I had no idea if he was dangerous or not, I just knew to stay still and move cautiously. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dad was away at work, but our elderly neighbor, Mr.John is a boy scout leader and was sitting on his back porch enjoying the nice morning.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mom yelled up to him asking if he felt comfortable taking care of a snake for us.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He came down the hill with a stick that was split and jabbed it just before the snake's head and lifted the snake up. It was a Gardner snake....so it wasn't poisonous.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He took the snake up the hill to his yard and let it loose in the trees.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hopefully it won't come back!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But to thank him for his masculine bravery, I baked an apple sauce raisin cake for Mr.John and Mrs.Brenda the following day (it's their favorite) and walked it up to them when they were on their morning walk the next day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They were both pleased and shocked and said it was very sweet of me!</div>

About a week ago my mom drove me downtown to a Firehouse Pottery building and signed me up for a 6 week course of wheel throwing! I'm so excited to try something new. I get 25 pounds of clay to work with and I get an hour or so of workshop time to come in on my own to paint what I've created. I'm told to bring a towel to throw over my lap and to wear clothes I don't care about and to have a good hand lotion waiting for me because my hands will be very dry. I can't wait to get my hands messy!<br />
I've been wanting to create my own little bowl, or my own little mug, or even my own little flower pot!<br />

I got a text from one of my friends on Wednesday night asking if I could go bowling the next day with her and two other friends that I know from CBA. So I had to ask my parents, but I got to go! I normally don't go for last minute, let's hang out stuff. But I was free and I hadn't gotten to see any of them for a long time.<br />
Thursday morning I got a text from her again telling me that it was her birthday and to not feel pressured to bring a card or a gift. So...then I threw something together for her. My mom makes natural homemade soap that she sells at farmers markets, so I put a bag of soap, a soap scrubbie my mom crocheted and homemade chapstick together for her. And made her a homemade card:<br /><br />

We were the only ones in the bowling alley and when we came in they put on an old fashioned "Sweet 16" song just for her! We put our bowling names down as: Sophi, Mandi, Kenzi, and Steph. Haha</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Amanda and I were practically tied the whole game, we took a break halfway through our bowling game to make the time last a little longer by getting some ice cream and popcorn and joking about yearbook and how that's all going to go next year. Hey! Yeah! All four of us that were there were in yearbook together! Haha</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, after our break, I lost my infinitive and had some low scores and Amanda rolled past me on the scoring board, I was very last on our very last round and got a strike! Whattt? None of us had gotten one the whole game! And when you strike, you get to roll 2 more times.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes. I won the bowling game. Whoooa it was intense!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I haven't played in forever!</div>

For the longest time I have dreamed of having a cottage on the beach, with large majestic mountains in the distance, and my own personal pond with a kayak roped to the pier, and a small shack holds my fishing gear near the pond. Around the back is a garden in full harvest and near there, a chicken coop with a hand painted sign next to the mailbox saying "Eggs for Sale". A large pasture lies beyond that with my horses and sheep and a large barn to keep them safe from the weather. Inside my cottage, I have a room dedicated to my aquariums where they fill the room, there's a small rocking chair that I can sit in and relax, listening to the water from the filters. Out the screen door of the kitchen is the greenhouse full of plants, hanging from the ceiling and creeping up the walls. There's a fountain in the middle with a bench around it that I can sit on when I'm too tired to continue watering the plants. Next to my bedroom is my art room, in one corner lies a potter's wheel next to a shelf bending with the weight of finished clay projects, mugs, bowls, plates, and more. In front of the window is a large white desk with a light hoovering above it with artist supplies everywhere you look. And on the front porch is a swing where I can sit and enjoy the early beach sunrise and sunset when I'm not on the beach collecting seashells.</div>

I'm kicking back up a nature journal.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found a small mixed-media sketchbook just lying in my dresser, so I'm using that as my nature journal.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Britney was getting rid of this bag, but I figured it was perfect to stuff my sketchbook and my pencil sack in when I'm ready to go outside and sketch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I woke up this morning I looked out the kitchen window and saw a wild rabbit sitting near our bird feeder in the backyard. I didn't have my sketchbook, so I grabbed a sheet of paper and a pen to sketch him, but he hopped away by the time I got back.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That's the tough thing about nature sketches....Some of the subjects won't stay still long enough for a decent sketch!</div>

Mom recently discovered that Dad tossed our good kite, so mom went to a craft store and bought a cheap $3 spiderman one.....hahaha.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, Dad was away this past weekend and it was very windy, perfect for kite flying.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So after about an hour of Britney and I flying it, Mom said we should just try letting it go and see where it lands, and we'd go find it and get it back. (Pure homeschool thinking here)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Britney was afraid to do it. Soooo I did.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were in the front yard and it flew free for like 5 seconds before it grabbed hold of the top branch of one of our pinetrees in the front yard. It was doing soooo well flying from the trop branch!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The tree was better at flying a kite versus Britney and I!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had to get out the ladder and a large pole to attempt to get the kite down....haha.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm so grateful to be enjoying warm weather activities again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I brought my bike up from our storage barn and biked yesterday until my legs were sore.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I thought I was all out of energy until I saw Britney pumping up our basketball on the front porch, and we played against each other until supper time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

On Monday morning after a history quiz and a couple Bible lessons, mom and I decided to head up to the craft store. I had received some money recently and finally decided to purchase the Winsor and Newton watercolor set I had kept my eye on since Christmas. The great thing about craft stores is the 40% off coupons! Sadly, the day we went up they only had 25% off your entire purchase. But when I checked out the lady pulled out another craft store's 40% off coupon and saved me $14 off my watercolor set! (How nice of her!) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That evening I sat down and played with the new paints.</div>

And I'm still doing my random doodles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My problem with art is that I want to get it done. But I want it to be done in a reasonable amount of time, and I want it to look good.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm starting to force myself to not speed through art.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And made sure I spent a good amount of time on that watercolor mushroom....haha.</div>

Yesterday, Mops was canceled. But I didn't find that out until I was dressed and waiting for my carpool. I quickly changed into my CBA volleyball shorts and we took a trip with Nana ( from my mom's side of the family) to a lilypond garden to pick up some water treatment for Nana's pond.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Would you believe that a gallon container of treatment cost a whopping 80 bucks?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I couldn't believe it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We picked up Burger King for lunch and ate on her back porch, watching the mucky fish pond.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Right after we finished our meal, it started to rain. Never the less, I put on mom's rainboots and got in the pond and started scrubbing the algae away. The water got so dirty that I couldn't see the fish anymore and got surprised a couple times when I brought the net up from scrapping the bottom for leaves and gravel that a fish had decided to hop in as well.....mmm yes. I may have screamed once or twice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm happy I'm getting the chance to help Nana with her pond. I wanted to do it last year, but got so overwhelmed when I tried to read up about ponds that I decided I was way in over my head. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We siphoned water out of the pond and put water with water treatment back in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It isn't clean yet, because we weren't able to get all the scum out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mom ordered a solar fountain for Nana's pond and a scum sucker thing from Amazon to add to Nana's pond.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm going to be taking my goldfish over there this Spring/Summer. They've gotten far too big for my 5 gallon aquarium. And did you know that goldfish are the dirtiest fish you can buy?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I didn't know that until I bought them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They may seem like the most reasonable fish to purchase. But I recommend purchasing guppies. They stay small and are more simple to take care of and need less water changes....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Uhm...sorry. Inner fish geek surfacing.</div>

Britney has been dealing with a cold/ allergy thing for the past three days.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yesterday when she came home from college we went downstairs, grabbed a jar of homemade v8, split it and watched movies!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First we watched Pirates of the Carribean, Dead Man's Chest. I was kind of tuned out of the movie because I was reading while cuddled up in my large, crochet blanket (It's cold in the basement without a fire in the stove!) And Britney slept through most of the movie.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And then my eyes got tired from reading.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I took webcam selfies...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yay for awkward pictures. Haha</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next movie we watched was 'The Quest for Camelot' </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have I mentioned that I love that we still own a VHS player?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And that most of our cartoon/ Disney movies are in VHS tapes?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had only watched it once or twice before....but watching it again, it's a very silly movie and doesn't make much sense! I couldn't help but laugh through most of it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Britney was awake for this one, so we basically made fun of the evil guy every time he popped up on the screen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm going up to meet Britney after college today so we can go shopping for an Easter dress for church service. I hope it'll be fun, but it's getting hard to find sweet, modest dresses anymore!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had to sew straps on my Easter dress from two years ago.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Are you guys excited for Easter?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Do you have family you go meet up with?</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now all I have to finish is Bible, Math, History and Language Arts. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Biology was overwhelming most of the time. But my favorite part was doing the dissection lab reports because it was required to draw the subject. </div>

My family and I traveled up to a herb show. My favorite parts was seeing the carnivorous plants (Venus fly trap...etc), drooling over the handblown, glass terrariums with air plants, and the oil paintings.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I didn't think the herb show would be much fun, but it actually kind of was!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And we stopped at a huge flea market on the way home.</div>

When I should be studying for biology but instead writing a note to my friend:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(I was really excited to give this note to her because she lives pretty far away, but we're planning on getting together soon, so that's what the note was about, and I doodled through out the whole note, I was a little worried she would think my doodles were weird because she's taking advanced drawing this year and is really good at it, but when she opened the letter she banged it back on the table and looked at me and was like, "I knew you liked to draw but I didn't know you were this good!" Awwh!)</div>

For the yearbook snack bar:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's so much fun to get to Thursday classes early so that once the snacks are set up, we can then draw on the two small whiteboards we put out each week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of my friends came in and was like "Stephanie, you should draw Olaf!" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So...I did. And the whole time she was just sitting there like, "Oh my gosh, Stephanie, how are you doing this?" and she took a picture of it once I was done. Haha</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The only camera I had with me was my phone, so it's not the best image resolution and his right hand/ stick is short....it should be a bit longer.</div>

All clothing is 50% off on Wednesday nights (except for one color tag), which is why we choose to go then. <br />
The last few times I really haven't found much to add to my wardrobe, but tonight I found the most gorgeous dress! CBA's semi-formal is coming up in May and I was getting a little worried because I didn't have a semi-formal dress yet. Last year I wore a dreamy blush color dress I actually got for free:<br />

This dress, of course had the tag that wasn't 50% off, so it was still $30... but it was still cheaper than it would've been getting it new.</div>

Yay for cheap semi-formal dresses!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> I could hear my parents argue as I was finishing up
a drawing I had been working on for a few days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I stood up from my desk and peeked out my bedroom door and watched as my
mom harmlessly threw a dishtowel at my dad. I sighed and shut my door. More
yelling. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I had to get out; throwing my thin backpack over my shoulder, I <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>opened my bedroom window and slid out just
like I had several times before when my parents were arguing <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and landed lightly on the ground. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I didn't
know where else to go when I was agitated, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I kicked a rock as I<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>headed over to my bike and watched it skitter
helplessly over the pavement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I kicked
in my bike stand and started pedaling, taking my <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>typical route to SeaWorld. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The warm Orlando,
Florida air softened my spirit as I rode the sidewalk, I watched as palm trees
swayed in the breeze and felt sand from visits to the beach kick up against my
ankles. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>Whenever I felt cornered, or
captured, or just angry, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>nobody
understood me more than the orcas.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> As much as I felt I held a relationships
with the orcas, I knew the beautiful marine creatures were too far barbarically
treated to feel a connection with me. The orcas were unhappy and belonged in
the wild, which was exactly what I was planning; a way to free them. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I visited SeaWorld so often that employers had
noticed that I came quite regularly and offered me a small volunteer job to
help feed the marine animals and in return, it cost me nothing to walk through
SeaWorld's doors.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I kicked out my bike stand and practically half
jogged to the doors.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Evening, Becca, the otters need supper, if you’re
up for it.” The assistant behind the front desk told me as I walked by.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I nodded and threw my backpack into my locker and
grabbed my extra volunteer shirt out of my backpack and tossed it on, over my
green t-shirt and slammed<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the locker
shut.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Grabbing a bucket of fish I headed to the otter
center and settled myself on a rock.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The otters were always so cheerful to watch and never
failed to bring a smile to my face.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">When I was done feeding the otters, I <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>threw off my volunteer shirt so nobody would
ask me to do anything else. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Even though most of the workers recognized me,
without the volunteer shirt on I could at least walk around without bringing
too much attention to myself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I took my regular spot in the empty orca arena and
watched as the orcas swam in the tank.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The more I sat and watched, the more uneasy I felt. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The orcas didn’t deserve this. They deserved
something bigger to swim in. Such as the ocean. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I closed my eyes and sighed sadly to myself. How on
earth was I ever going to manage freeing the orcas if I didn’t even have an
inside trainer as an ally? Or even a plan?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">A familiar voice interrupted my thoughts, “Is that
you, Becca?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I spun around to face the familiar voice, “Hey
Ethan.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Marie told me she saw you come in, thought I might
find you here.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I let out a light laugh, Ethan knew me so well. He
was a volunteer at SeaWorld, just like me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I pushed myself off the stands and moved up to the
glass, placing a tender hand up to the glass and watching the orcas swim. They
were such beautiful creatures.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>An orca came
close and almost seemed to look me in the eye before swimming away.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ethan
coughed, “Well, no reason to sound excited to see me or anything,” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I sighed, as Ethan snapped me out of my daydream, I
had almost forgot he was still here, “Oh! I’m sorry. I’ve had a lot on my mind
lately.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Ethan made his way down the stairs and sat in the
front row.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I turned around and rolled my
eyes. I wasn’t exactly in the mood to talk, but I wasn’t really expecting <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>him to just walk away.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“What’s up?” He asked as I walked over and took a
seat next to him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“So many things.” I answered.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><em><span style="font-size: large;">To be continued....??</span></em></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><em><span style="font-size: large;"></span></em></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I recently watched a documentary called "Blackfish" I had such mixed feelings if I wanted to watch it or not, because I knew I would feel angry and helpless after I watched the film. There's just nothing I can do to help. How can I, a 16 year old girl living in the east coast help orcas at SeaWorld? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Well, I can make a Pinterest board to help raise awareness. Most people don't even know about orcas and their story.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Second, I can make art to promote awareness, just like I plan to do with ocean conservancy.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">And so forth.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I've just felt so helpless lately and just felt like writing it out (and drawing it out, I was flipping through my sketchbook and found a half-finished drawing and finished it up)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I'm not sure if I'll continue the story though...that would take a lot of planning of something that has never happened, such as I would want the story to end with the orcas being free and back in the wild, but I don't even know how that would take place.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Maybe, just maybe I might continue it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">We'll see. :)</span></div>
