Braces
Well that's it- they're on! I am officially a brace face. And it kills. Children, I do not advise you get them, they are extremely painful. I am sitting in pain, moaning like a dying person. Excuse me- feeling like a dying person. I can't post anything more because I have other things to do. However, here's a picture:

Parents are Coming Home, and Rough Times
Well, start off by looking at my photo of the day:
Can you tell I'm excited for my parents to come home from their cruise? One week of no communication, no parents, and having to make dinner on my own is way too much. Tomorrow my glorious parents will be arriving home and can I just say, I'm excited. I made this poster and will proceed to put it on the front of my house. I can't wait. I can also say that this week has been hard. I've had had over 20 tests in the past 10 days, along with many other side things like mutual, friends, church business, and doctors appointments. Although I love it all, it has all been killing me for the past little bit. I have been missing school SO much lately it's a little scary (although I do love missing it). So what I have coming up for the last bit of February is getting my braces on, going to the acupuncturist, baptisms, tests, 4 birthdays, and many more other things. These are all fun but at the same time? I don't think so. I complained to my teacher because I had 5 tests out of 7 hours in one day and all he could tell me was that that was what college was going to be like. Finals week, or aka death week, when you take all of your tests. I also have been taking responsibility in babysitting, making dinner, and taking care of someone's dog. STRESSFUL. I tried to make chicken, which turned out to be one of the hardest things to make ever and had many incidents with that. I have been making dinner for the past week for personal progress and most all of the meals include meat. Well, every time I fried meat, the grease popped on me which hurt, of course. But when I made spaghetti, I tried to boil pasta and fry meat at the same time which was disastrous, and I don't advise it. But anyways, the meat popped grease onto my face which hurt a lot, but it continued with a big water bubble splashing out of the pot and landing on my foot. That hurt a lot, and when I tried to make a gravy for chicken pockets some of the gravy popped out of the pot and decided to land on my finger; which was the worst. I still have a burn on my finger from it. I could go on more, but I assume that you've heard enough. So yeah I've been a bit of a complainer for the past little while, but aren't we all complainers? I suppose we shouldn't be, but we are. I challenge you all to stop complaining as much as you do, along with me to try and stop complaining. There are so many worse things happening to other people and we need to stop complaining about our minor problems are recognize and comfort others with bigger problems. I was feeling pretty bad for myself one time when a lady told me a story of what had happened to her in the past week. She told me that she decided to go up to Salt Lake to go Christmas shopping. Well, she bought all of her presents and went to a hotel to stay the night. During that night, someone had broken into her car, and stolen all of the presents. As disappointed as she was, she continued to go home without any presents. When she got home, her car got stolen during the night. The list continued to go on and I realized that I had so many great things and I was still complaining about what I didn't have. As I press on in life I try to become less selfish and see others through Christ's eyes. I challenge you do do that too.

Parents on a Cruise
When your parents are living with you and they don't leave often, or for very long, we don't seem to miss them. Well I can tell you one thing, once they leave to country for one wee and you're not allowed to call, text, or email them, you tend to miss them quite a bit. My parents left for a cruise just yesterday morning and I already have cried more than three times. When your parents are home, don't take them for granted! Now that my parents are gone for one week, I'm mourning for them to come back. I have to go to school, and they get to party. I stay at home, and they went to Mexico. Not fair. I can't call, text, or email them. I can't wait for them to be back. And I know you've probably heard this a billion times, but don't take your parents for granted.

More Acupuncture, Orthodontist and Tests
So I went to the acupuncturist again and it was the same old. Except, this time I got 18 needles put in me. I got one on the top of my head, one on each side of my neck, three in each arm, three in my stomach, and three in each leg. I got a request for a picture, so here it is:
Anyways, you've probably heard enough about that. So today I had my orthodontist appointment. I'm pretty excited to get braces, just to get straight teeth with a pretty smile. They made me pull my cheek over to the side so that they could get a picture of the side of my teeth. One word, ouch. When she did it, all I could think was that my cheek was going to rip open or my lips were going to separate. It hurt so bad. Then I met my soon to be Orthodontist, he's super nice. His grip was strangely tight though, like hulk shaking my hand. I felt like he shattered my hand! We talked for a long time and he FINALLY told me the problems with my jaw and when I could get braces. He told me I had a very unique jaw, one that not many have. He said it was "classical". He said it was a good jaw to have but it was a bit small. He told me that they are going to have to pull 2 of my teeth. This terrified me. All I could think was that at least my teeth will be straight. With those two teeth gone then my two front teeth that stick out in front would be able to move back into my jaw. They said it would be two years with them, and then I should get them off. This means that I'll have them off for prom and all of the important stuff, which is what I wanted them off for so I won't mind having them on for 2 years. I'm officially getting them on on Feb. 23rd. Yay! The only stress I really had today was all of my stress. I had 5 tests out of 7 classes! I had a test every hour except two! And not to mention I was gone for one of the hours that I didn't have a test! I'm doomed. I had a test in science, health, english, band and choir. It was TERRIBLE. Not to mention, (and not to be rude), I had Mr. Bockman for two of those tests! Although, he did let me play on my phone after I finished. I hope I can survive my life.

New Schedule
So today I met with my school counselor to prepare my classes for 9th grade (My first year in high school). We talked and planned out things, which were all pretty easy. The classes I got were interpret science A and B, Honors English, Honors Math, Computer Technology, Health, P.E., Spanish A and B, geography, seminary, and Drama. This excludes the classes wood shop, clothing, chorus, band, and cooking that I also wanted to take. I just hope that this all won't be too much for me to interpret, especially honors math and english, and Spanish. I hope I survive! I also want to do (MAYBE) is Volleyball, Color guard, and the fall play/musical. Although I'm still not quite sure if drama includes the fall play...? Lets hope so because that's what I'm getting! No going back now... Oh! I forgot! Today I also baked these oreo cookies for Lindsay's Laurel mutual activity. Hopefully they taste good.
