Herniated belly button
I had a herniated belly button when I was born and they didn't find it until I was about 1 years old. They did a surgery on it as soon as they found it, it was fixed until about a year and a half later. It came back and I had to get another surgery and get a bigger scar on my belly button than what they origionally thought. -
Birthday Madness
When I was about 2 and 1/2 it was my brothers birthday party and I was swinging on the swing in out back yard. My brother threw a plastic axe and it hit me right in the head when I was swinging up. Since I was an adorable little girl, they had to fly in a plastic surgeon to do my surgery since it was on my forehead. My mom was freaking out that I was going to have a nasty scar on my forehead my entire life, thankfully the plastic surgeon did a great job and I am scar free. -
Road Trip Part 1
The summer before 6th grade I moved from Green Bay, Wisconsin, to 2,066 miles away to a little town 5 miles from the border of Canada called Blaine, Washington. It actually took about 100miles longer than usual because my parents wanted to take the scenic route. It was me, my mother and my 6ft brother all in the moving truck and my father riding behind us on his harley. I would occasionally ride on the harley with him and take pictures of everything. -
Mt. Baker
About 20 miles from our home in Washington was Mount Baker, a volcano. Every once in awhile it would produce smoke out of the top. We used to take motorcycle rides and trips up to Mount Baker about once a month or two. Right next to Mount Baker was another mountain called "the Twin Sisters" Which you got a beautiful view from the top of Mount Baker. -
Canada Trip
The first time I ever left the country was to go to Canada to go see my nana. Before my nana passed me and my daddy went to go see you at her apartment, it ws my first time ever meeting her. Canada is really beautiful but really hectic. The only other time I have been out of the country is when I went to go see my nana in the hospital the day before she passed away. -
Arizona Bound
The summer after 7th grade I moved to Tucson Arizona, my daddy was on the harley again and this time it was just me, my mom, our dog, and our fish in the moving truck. My brother flew down to Phoenix a week after we moved here because he wanted to spend more time with his friends. We took the scenic route through California and spent an entire day at the red woods. My mom has always wanted to see the redwoods so we just had to do it. -
Driving Beware
One week after my 16th birthday I got my license on the first try. I was rally nervous about the parallel parking and the morning before my test my daddy took a shopping cart and a fork lift from his work and placed them as cars and had me practice parallel parking. My instructor said I did the best parallel parking he's every seen someone my age do. It was straighter than my regular parking. -
New Car Owner
After I got my license my moms car basically became my car. I mean, it's still hers, but I'm the one who drives it, puts gas in it, cleans it and does the maintence on it. So I consider it mine. My mom is always driving my dads truck and she hasn't even touched the car in probably 3 months -
Dream Job
Right before my 17th birthday I got the best job a girl could ever ask for. I work for a family owned coffee shop. I have never loved working somewhere so much.. I'm actually working right now. My boss is super flexible and lets me do school at work as long as when a customer comes in I go help them first. Everyone I work with are the funniest people I've met in my life. I am proud to be one of the few people to be able to say they love their job. -
When Life Truly Begins
Hopefully I will be able to say I am a highschool graduate this year. I am hoping to graduate early since my freshman year I got 12 credits! I should have been graduated already but I got distracted my Sophmore year and only got 1 credit. But I have a feeling this year is my year! Fingers crossed.
