I was born at beaumont hospital on November 20, 2000. I was a bit of a long labor, but my mom was just happy to have a fifth baby that was healthy. Little did she know there would be four more. -
First dog
We got a Golden Retriever named Lady. She started out as my brother, Bens, dog but then over time she was just known as everyones. She is a very obedient dog and she doesn't usually bark or jump on people when they come over. She is a very good dog who I hope to have for a long time. -
My sisters birth
On November 1, 2007 my little sister Anna was born. At this time I was six. I have always remembered holding her in a blue rocking chair in the hospital right after she was born. Being a big sister finally clicked with her being the third younger sibling of mine. -
Piano lessons
I started piano lessons when I was eight. I was so excited because in my family we all started when we were seven or eight. I learned a lot but I play by ear, which means I am better at listening to something and trying to play it then reading off of sheet music. I got a different teacher who understood how I learned and I have gotten much better since she had been teaching me. -
Grammas death...
In october of 2009, my gramma, on my dad's side, died. She had a lot of diseases includuding cancer, she suffered for a long time. We would always go and visit them usually for Christmas, and she was always sick. It effected my dad so much and he was very upset about it for a long time and still to this day but not as much. -
2010 Summer Vacation
In 2010, we went on a vacation to South Haven. My sister invited about seven friends and we were all crammed in the van, all 15 of us. We were there for about four days. We had so much fun and I will always remember that trip and it will always be one of my favorite vacations as a kid. -
My 10th birthday!
On November 20, 2000 I had my 10, also first, birthday party. This was very important to me because in my family we didn't get to have a birthday party till our tenth birthday. I was looking forward to this for a long time. When it finally came it was the best birthday I ever had. -
Trip to Chicago
In 2011, my two younger brothers and sisters and my mom and I went to Chicago. We had a very fun time. We went to a really nice hotel, an aquarium, and I was in a taxi for the first time. We stayed for five days and it was a trip to remember. -
Anne moves.
Anne was my babysitter but her main job was laundry and cleaning little miscellaneous things. She worked for us ever since I was a baby and she was like my big sister. She was always at our house. But then she grew up and got married, which I was the flower gir in, and she moved to South Carolina were the majority of her family was. I was so sad when she left but she still comes to visit about five times a year. -
My dad's surgery.
My dad has nerves in his leg that cause him pain all day everyday. He has tissue that grows and pushes on his nerves in a way. He had surgery to cut out the tissue that was doing that. He stayed home for a month, his dad came to help him for a while and I was his helper. Getting him things telling people things and just sitting with him all the time. We became close over that period of time. -
Rachel's Wedding
My sister, Rachel's, wedding was continuously being prepared for during the close months before it. My sister, Michelle and I were the Mades of Honor. We both had to give a speech at the reception. It was such a fun weekend, probably the best weekend of the summer. It was also a sad weekend because I realized she was going to be in her new home and we wouldn't have those late nights were we would just talk and laugh at eachother watching movies and getting fat on her bed and many other things. -
Summer Vacation 2014
On auguat 21, 2014, me, my bestriend, friends and family went on a vacation to South Haven and Maranatha. This trip was probably the best beach vacation ever. We stayed up all night, had fun car rides, amazing days at the beach and hilarious games of truth or dare. It was the best summer beach trip I've ever had. -
First day of highschool
The first day of highschool for me was pretty good. It went by fast and it was good. I had a game right after school and got home around seven. I like my classes and they were the ones I wanted. -

Homecoming!
Homecoming was such a blast. It was everything I expected and more. I had a date to the dance and we had so much fun. I wish we could have more dances during the year. Before the dance we took pictures. It was the best weekend since school started.
