First off, I posted last time about my Uncle Darren, who’s been ill. Thankfully he’s better and out of the hospital!
I am so grateful for every doctor and nurse that helped him through this. They are amazing, and genuinely caring people and he couldn’t have had better caregivers if he tried. I’m going to post a picture of my awesome Uncle Darren below. He’s been a part of my life since I was four and I would be devastated if anything happened to him.
You really can’t see but I was hardcore pouting
He’s always listened to me.
I think he was helping me with school work or something.
For those who want an update on Josh- I can’t give you one. Sorry! We don’t know that much right now, we don’t know when he’ll be home. As bad as it sucks that he’s not here with me I just keep remembering that he’ll be here soon and we can move on from the past.
Baby- I miss you and I love you. I can’t wait to see you again. Stay strong.
Lately I’ve been knitting a lot. For those of you that didn’t know I knit, well I do. I learned in 7th (I think) in Ms. Podos’ room for a The Witch Of Blackbird Pond project. I still remember that my first project was a white scarf that was all knotted and mangled. But I still got an A! :) I do believe Amanda was in that class with me…yes?
Anyway, my latest projects have been my “volunteer” work until I can see about volunteering at Bonnie L Hays.
I’m making hats for babies, specifically preemies (or premature babies) to donate to hospitals. I’m also going to see about making animals and booties.
Here are the four that I’ve completed so far:
I’ve also been hanging out with my “pups” Moose
He’s a 100-ish lbs Pure bred Chocolate dog who thinks he’s half human/ half Lap Dog. He’s not, but he sure acts like it.
So today I got a video on my Facebook from the lovely Tai Le who sang me “Jar of Hearts” by Christina Perri, and it reminded me that I told him I would record a song for him and post it on his Facebook Wall. So I’m currently awake at midnight listening to music trying to figure out what I song I’m going to do.
However, I will admit that I am petrified to do this video. Why? What I’m about to confess is going to shock a lot of you since you all thought I was so confident…
I don’t think I’m a good singer.
No, seriously, I don’t. I think I’m mediocre at best, and I have no idea how I got as far as I did in High School. I’m so happy that everyone believed that much in me (enough o vote me “Next American Idol” Next to Michael Pham) but I’ve never woke up and thought “I’m a good singer”. And no I’m not being fake, or lying, because I am not a liar.
Anyway, since I’m probably going to do more than one of these videos, I’m wondering if I should start posting them on here at the end of the blog post for that day, but I don’t want to if no one is going to be happy about it. So tell me your thoughts below? :)
All I’ve been doing lately is hanging out with friends (while I can), job searching, and playing guitar. Hopefully this week I can see my Dinosaur Aaron Seipel, because I miss that kid.

ReplyDeleteSpeaking of, the other day I was cleaning through some stuff, and I found a letter you wrote me from Maryland that summer. :) Fun stuff!
