  • Universal weekend

    I spent a weekend with my dad and three friends at Universal Orlando for my birthday. we went to the theme park, stayed in a hotel, played in the pool, ate a lot of junk food, and went to a movie. this was special because I got to take my friends somewhere really cool.
  • Rays game

    My base ball team won first place in the playoffs and our coach treated all of us along with our dads to a Tampa Bay Rays game. he even rented a limo to take us to the game. We felt so special.
  • Aunt Donna died

    My Aunt Donna dying from cancer is probably the saddest day of my life. I loved spending time with her. Our family feels so incomplete without her.
  • lake lot

    I spent the weekend with my uncle matt and his kids at his mom's lake front property in Eustis. We camped out, cooked hamburgers and smores, went fishing, swimming, canoeing, and tubing and made huge bon fires. all the kids played Frisbee and football and stayed up late at night. I had so much fun.
  • adopted Jeremiah

    My family was changed forever when we adopted my little brother Jeremiah out of foster care. it was hard at first because he was mean and had a lot of problems. we showed him lots of love and he made so much progress. Now I love to torment and play with him and I'm glad we were able to be his forever family.
  • shot a hog

    My grand father took me hog hunting, and we were up in a tree stand when I shot my first wild hog with a 22. He then showed me how to skin it. I loved spending time on our farm and sharing adventures with him.
  • Oasis Christian

    I began my 7th grade at Oasis Christian after being homeschooled. It was a new and scary situtition, but several of the other kids made me feel welcome and within a few weeks I had adjusted and came to really enjoy being a part of OCA.
  • Dune Buggy

    My parents bought me a dune buggy for Christmas. I have so much fun driving it on our farm. I love to take my mom in it and do donuts so she will scream.
  • mission lab

    My church group went on a mission trip to New Orleans. It was eye opening to see all the poverty and homeless people. We spent time with inner city kids, the homeless and volunteered at a food pantry. I was able to show God's love to others.
