After 7 years of waiting for a baby girl and getting 3 boys first, my mother was finally blessed with me. My birthday is January 20, and I'm an Aquarius. Fun fact: I was actually born a few days early, just as a favor for my mom, because I'm that gracious.

Our first and only family trip to Disneyland! Sadly, I of course don't remember this trip and have no choice but to live off of the stories of my brother getting lost. But to make up for my lack of memory I did end up getting to go back when I was five so I have some memories of that time.

Nearly 3 years after having me, her supposedly last child, my mom gave birth to my little brother Chace. He's not a super annoying little brother, and we're actually pretty close when I'm not trying order him around. My only real problem with him is that he is far too close to my height for comfort.

So in 2008 my family went to Bryce Canyon. I don't remember it because I was three at the time but in the pictures it looks like we all enjoyed it a lot. I'm told we just did the trip in one day so maybe I'll do it again sometime when I get a free day.

In 2009 we got our dog Oreo! He's a cute fluffy little Shi-tzu with black fur and a white belly and front paw and he's still going strong 11 years later. I love him so much, and no matter what my brothers say, I'm his favorite.

In 2010 I got my first introduction to public school when I started kindergarten. It was a rather enjoyable experience; just playing and coloring and watching movies with the occasional assignment in between. It was actually in that class that I met the girl who is now my closest friend.

In 2011 I got to go on my first cruise! We went to Alaska and my whole family along with a lot of my extended family all got to go. The whole trip was really fun; we got to see the Northern Lights and I watched my little brother try to eat some peanut-shaped erasers. The only disappointing part of the cruise was that they closed the water slide and outdoor pool because it was too cold.

In 2012 we replaced our kitchen ceiling fans and the old messed up wiring in our ceilings did not appreciate it. So like a day or two after we replaced the ceiling fans a small fire started in our ceiling and the whole ceiling had to be replaced. The bright side of this incident though, was that while the ceiling was being fixed we got to stay in a hotel and bring our dogs and go swimming like everyday.

So in 2013 we got to go on a cruise to the Caribbean. We sailed out of Miami, FL and got to stay in a super awesome hotel in the days prior. Then during our cruise we got to try some awesome tourist attractions like swimming with dolphins and stingrays while visiting the islands.

In 2014 my family went on a road trip to Yellowstone and got to go camping! It was really fun to be in nature and get to see the wildlife. My brother even saw a bear once when he was exploring in a little clearing by our campsite.
-
So when my family went to the Caribbean last time it was so great that we just had to go back. Sadly we didn't get to swim with any dolphins this time but my brothers ended up going parasailing instead. On this cruise we went to mostly the same places as our last Caribbean cruise though this time we also went to Jamaica.

I started my last year in elementary in fall 2016. Sixth grade is kind of a weird year, I think, because while you're finally at the top of the school, you also have the knowledge that next year you're gonna be right back at the bottom as a Sevy in middle school. I can't believe it's already been 4 years since then and I've now finished middle school and am in my first year of high school.

In 2017 I got to go the the Philippines for my grandma's 75th birthday. It was the first time I've seen my grandma since I was really little and I got to meet a lot of my dad's family for the first time too. It was really fun to get a look at my dad's home town and to spend time with everyone.
-
So two years ago my parents got divorced. I can't say it was exactly a surprise but it was all just very sudden. My dad moved out the day my parents gave the announcement and now me and my little brother go stay with my dad every other weekend.

After finally realizing that my vision sucks, I got my first pair of glasses in 2019! It really took me not being able to see in class to finally have that epiphany but at least I figured it out. It was a bit of an adjustment, to have to start wearing glasses, but now that I'm used to them, I don't know how I ever saw anything before.

According to my cousins 2020 is the year to have babies. Three of my cousins have all given birth to their first child this year and another one of my cousins is due in October for her second. I love babies and it's gonna be wild watching them all grow up.
