New things happening in my life

So yesterday was a huge change for me. I let my dog go away for a little while.
So here is how it all went down. My parents gave me an ultimatum: it was either get rid of the dog or get her into obedience classes. I had a week, a week! to make this decision. I went back and forth between the choices. And it was not easy at all. Through much prayer and self examination I decided to let her go. I was one of the most difficult things I have ever done in my life. So this is what I did, I contacted the breeders from who we got Chloe from. I told them my situation and immediately they said they would foster her for me!! I was shocked, and my heart filled with hope and happiness. So yesterday I gathered up all of Chloe's toys and food. I made a page long list of Chloe's quirks and then Lynn (the breeder) came up from Nixa, MO and picked Chloe up. It was very difficult, but I am getting through it. I was crying this morning, because I woke up and she wasn't here. I didn't hear the jingle of her collar as she woke up and I wasn't able to snuggle with her. I didn't hear her bark when I came home from school. I miss her.
Moving on. I would have to thank my Lord Jesus, for guiding my steps and helping me make the decision to contact the breeders first. They are not just breeders to me anymore. They are my friends. And God could not amaze my more at how he worked this all out. I get to go down and visit Chloe whenever I want to. I can call Lynn whenever and check up on her. This family is amazing and they are showing the love of Christ by doing this for me. I am comforted to know she is in a safe place. And to know that she will have so much fun with all the other dogs! They have 9 dogs! Whoa! Chloe makes 10. Chloe will even get to be with her Dad Oz. A huge thank you to the Boone family! I love you guys! I will definitely see you soon!
Here are pics of me and Chloe the night before she left.

Life this summer pt 1

WOW this summer has been amazing.
I reconnected with one of my friends Christina. We knew each other when we were like 5 years old, we went to the same church, and knew each other till Jr. high. Then my family left that church we were going to so I lost connection with her. Then a year later her and her family moved to Orlando, Florida. Then randomly we exchanged numbers and started texting every day. Then one night i called her because the next day we were both taking the ACT. Same time just in different states. so we talked then for the next couple nights for hours at a time. And it was totally a God thing! so she was here in St. Louis off and on during the summer. So I got to see her in June for the first time in 5 years!! And it was so amazing. So then in July I went down to Florida and visited her for a long weekend! We went to the beach. It was my first time going to the beach! We both got up at 5am and we drove to the beach and saw the sunrise! It was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen in my entire life!! I really miss the beach right now. We had so much fun. I would have to say that Christina is my best friend. other than my savior Jesus! So here are some pics from my trip to Florida:

I have a crazy life

I have a crazy life!!!!!
wow man a lot has been going on
well I work every saturday now from 9am to 2pm. Soon I will be working fridays at the same time. It has been crazy there, oh man i dont know if i like it at admissions. Ticket selling can be stressful sometimes! Dude one time I forgot to give this lady her change it was hilarious!!! My supervisor had to come over and open my drawer, and this lady got mad. Oh man I felt like a bad employee.

Well last week my Grandma Lou was in the hospital, the same thing that happened a year ago happened again, her blood pressure dropped really low and my grandpa had to call an ambulance because she wouldn't get up in the morning. She was on a ventilator and very sedated for like 5 days. My mom and her brothers went down the Nixa, MO, where she lives and visited her for 3 days. My mom said it was hard coming home cause she wanted to be there when she got of the medication and the ventilator. So my grandma came off the ventilator thursday and she went home yesterday (Monday). We are so happy and very thankful she is alive. The sad thing is she doesn't remember her kids being there to see her and my mom was very upset about that, I know she was. My mom wants to go down there and see her again very soon.

Onto some more good news I got a regular babysitting job this for this year or for as long as they need me, its on Tuesdays and Thursdays and sometimes Fridays, from 3-6:30-7ish time. Three kids, they are all so very cute!! And I love the parents. The mom Eraka and I connected right away. She is so cool! I am so happy and thankful for this job.
Also this summer I am going to be working for my dad 2 days a week. I am going to do some administrative work for him, and its going to be awesome! So I will have a really busy summer, Sunday will probably be my only day off and to rest.
So that's whats up:)
more later

Life is Stressful

Update on my life:
Life is stressful, I have so many things to do. A lot of stuff, stress with school, money, work, my dog Chloe my friendships and my future, oh and taxes!

Work, I am back at Six Flags, I am so grateful that God gave me that job back. It is stressful cause I am in a new department and I handle money. I fear I am going to do something wrong. But my supervisors are awesome and helpful.

Last night I went to a MPower seminar about self-harm and eating disorders, it was very informative and helpful. It made me realize some problems that I have. So the past night and day I have been looking for a counselor, because I believe I have an eating disorder. Its very hard for me to admit that. But I want to overcome it with God's help. I know I need help.

So that is pretty much it for now, more later! Sorry it took me a long time to write a new post, I have been busy.

My Car!

Here are pics of my lovely Oscar! haha, sorry it took so long

Winter Break:)

OK
sorry I have not written in like a month, been busy.
Christmas was amazing! I got a cellphone! It is by far the best gift ever, except for my gameboy advance when I was twelve (I still have it!). Our Christmas was the same as usual. Four Christmas'. At my dad's parents aka my grandparents house, we had a toast to my late Aunt Chris. Also one of my gifts was a set of scrubs my grandma had bought Aunt Chris just a few days before she died. It made me tear up to be honest. Anyway I also got $40 in iTunes gift cards. I love my family!

So for New Years Eve I babysat the Stuarts! It was fun played with the kids for like and hour. Sloan is so funny and smart! Tia is just starting to talk to me. The way she says my name is so cute. Stesie is what she calls me. Then they went to bed. And I watched the Phantom of the Opera on the TV, plus the commercials UHGG! Read my Twilight (done with it, now i got to read New Moon). Then they came home. Then I went home. I was kinda sad I missed some of my friends partys. Like my youth group ZOE rented out Lifetime Fitness. It was ok, at least I made money.

So my family and I went to Botanical Gardens before our break was over. Here are some pictures.



Me and my siblings made a sandcastle!
