What do you do when life gives you lemons? Easy, you make lemonade. Well let me tell you, like most things in life, that is a heck of a lot easier to say than to do. What do you do when your family moves you across the world? Away from the place you have called home your whole life. Away from your best friend that you have known since the day you were born, and love him like he is your own brother? Splitting your family in half and leaving your older brother and sister behind? What do you do? You cry. A lot. But then you get half way across the world, and honestly, its not half bad. Okay so I knew that it couldn't be absolutely terrible, since we are doing this for God. And what if you meet this incredible girl from Florida. My new best friend. What if you hate to go a day without talking to her and gushing like a little girl about all our inside jokes, and the cute guy next door? But what if, two years later, you have to do it all over again? What if your only a 15 year old girl with enough stress just being a teenager, without my body trying to release it in other ways like grinding my teeth at night or loosing all my hair? What do you do then? Take it from me. Its not easy.

Christmas Decorating :)


So yesterday we decorated for Christmas!! Yay! The house looks so christmasy and beautiful! Right now I am home sick, and I am just looking around at all our decorations... like the stockings hanging off the windowsill (our fireplace is a big silver thing with no place to hang them from :( ) and the advent calender that we made this year... made of red bags with white snow flakes that me and my mom cut out glued onto it, hanging in the window above the stockings. And our little manger that my mom made in a ceramic making things place, for my grandma, and when she died, she gave it to my mom. The red stars hanging in the window, and the garland wrapping around the stair railing. I just love it. I love Christmas. Every year it is my job to set out the little town that also used to be my grandmas, its not very complete, there is only five buildings, and a bunch of people doing random christmas things, but i love doing it, cause its my job, and its fun. Now you must know, my family takes christmas decorating very seriously. We always put on christmas music, make glug or eggnog, and chocolate and we all wear our santa hats... its lots of fun. But back to my little city. I am so sad because all the houses come with a little light to put inside of it... but they all have american plugs... :( so my houses dont light up :( but that is okay, i still love it.
