What is going on in my life? Well, I'll tell you. First my dad hurt his neck while practicing neck defense moves, and then he tore a ligament in his shoulder while practicing forward rolls. So now he's home indefinetely. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (that he's home, not that he's hurt.) So until he gets better and the doctor says he can finish his school, he stays here. Please pray for him so he can finish school and get started on his new job! Thanks!!!

Also, we're officially moved into our house! YAY!!!!!!!!!!! and its really really nice except there's lots and lots of stairs, which is a problem, because i'm now having problems in my legs. don't really know what it is, but my mom says its possible arthritis. oi.

On top of all that, I'm writing a ton and its starting to drive me nuts!!!!!!!! I'm stuck on this thing about this scout/spy who loses his sister during an attack, and to save him, pushes him off this cliff into a river. So a day later he washes up and these guys find him and they take him to their village. and then there's all this talking and stuff. As it turns out, he is pagan and in a Christian environment. The people there try to reach him, but he's stubborn and refuses to give up his false beliefs. On top of that, he carries important documents that will take his homeland and theirs to war, but the people are incredibly unprepared for that. They convince him to stop the attack, but he's still not sure if he can. At the end, he stops the attack and becomes a Christian, is reunited with his sister, and they all go home. So far there's a lot of awesome characters (at least i think so) but Kelone is my fave. more about all that later.

So how is everyone out there? i hope you're not as miserable as I am. I found out today that I am allergic to carpet, and there's lots of it in our house. so not cool. I'm trying to stay away from it all, but its rather hard. I figured it out when I walked down the yarn aisle at the craft store and sneezed like crazy, and that was at three in the afternoon. I've been dealing with allergies all day. not cool.

As far as school goes, I am in over my head. Last week I started getting back into the norm, but this week... ugh.. I shudder just to think about all the stuff i've got to do. Two lessons of math a day, lots of science, tons of history, Latin, English, and Rhetoric (i won't even go there). Its great that i won't be so busy, but i wish it wasn't so much so i had time for other things. (like spending time with family, writing, scrapbooking, jewelry-making, etc.)

Speaking of scrapbooking and jewelry-making, I've completed at least eight pages that are ready to sell. YAY!!! I'm gonna be rich again!!!!!!!! (does a happy dance) Its just sad cuz i have to sell them all, and they're all so pretty. On top of that, I found the prettiest pendant for my friend Sara. Its circle and white with little red flowers on it, and it looks so oriental. Its perfect for her bcuz she's part Japanese. I just have to find the right beads for it. And I got a pack of metal flowers with purple rhinestones on them for my sister Megan, and i have purple rhinestones to go with them, and i'm going to put little white pearls with them! (squeals in delight) I'm so excited. Megan is going to be twelve on the 25. YAY!!!!!!!!!!! and i found the coolest paper doll set for Abigail and Cassandra. It has most of the Disney princesses with tons of really pretty clothes, shoes, jewelry, etc. Its so awesome!! I couldn't get it today bcuz i only had ten dollars and i had to get green paper for a page and glue dots and the bead stuff. My mom hid it behind a High School Musical book bcuz it was the next to last one, and we have to get it Tuesday cuz we hav ea 40% off coupon. I love coupons!!!!!!!!

Anyway, I've got to go now.

Caio,
