Summer endings and ongoings

17
August

Hi all,
What a beautiful day today! And yesterday was nice as well! I spent the whole afternoon on the beach with my boyfriend and our friends. I’m so glad these last few weeks of summer are starting to bless us with good weather. :)

I am getting my wisdom teeth pulled soon ahhh! This Thursday my sister and I go in :p It should be quite the experience but I am prepared for lots of sleeping, smoothies, and frozen yogurt! Any tips for those of you who’ve gone through with this procedure?

The other day I was walking in the sand at night with my good friend Katelyn and it was super dark…and of course clumsy me falls in a hole right at the shoreline and I almost get soaked! Haha it brought on some good laughs afterwards, thats for sure. Always tripping, stumbling and falling, just another perk of having CP (am I right??) :p

Also, fall soccer starts tonight but I think I am going to have to call it quits this season :/ Between school, college apps, another go at the ACT, and my not so good running skills, I think I’ll manage to get my work outs in at the gym or by myself this time. I’m a bit bummed, but I’ll still be able to go to the games and all that since my sister will be playing. I love soccer but it’s just not something I can pick up on again. Ya know?
Well that’s that, I hope you are having a fun end to your summer vacation as well.
School mode soon, yikes!

School & Prom!

14
May

Hey Guys!

I’ve been meaning to post on here, but you know how it goes once school gets rollin and before you know it, its been almost two weeks! Ughh I wish I could get on here everyday, but time never permits! In the summer I will have loads of down time to blog about random things. :p Thankfully I don’t have another big test until June 5th because my teachers are piling on the projects, essays, finals… it’s insane. I would love to get a compliation going on all my pics since they’ve added up this month. I can hopefully knock that out on a lazy day :p So I apologize ahead of time, just in case since this next month will be even crazier than before, as school draws to an end. Can you believe it?? Wow I remember talking about school starting!! What a fast and fun year this has been.

Aside from all the business of school, prom is tomorrow night! I am so excited :) I am going with a few foreign exchange students that I have become great friends with over the year! I am thankful to have met them, since now I will have a place to stay and visit in France, Belgium, Germany, and Brazil if I ever go!! I feel so open to their cultures, and native languages, it is so fun to be introduced to their different lifestyles and learn about the lives they lead back home. It is sad that they will be going back home in June. But prom will be a night to remember! I bought a nice dress, and high heels. Except I walked around in them a bit and realized I don’t think I will be comfortable walking and dancing in them all night, so I had to return them. :( That bums me out, but I guess it’s just another part of living with CP, right? My sister got these 3/4 inch Steve Madden heels and I almost broke my ankle when I tried them on haha. I get so jealous of all those cute shoes that are impossible to wear. Oh well, one day I will teach myself to walk in heels, and I’lll be so pro that I can strut down the runway like the girls on America’s Next Top Model. :p

I hope that school is treating you all okay, I know I have felt very stressed out at times. Did any of you go to prom or any dances this year?? Ahh I cannot wait for summertime! Beach, sleep, and friends here I come! :D Any vacays, summer camps? I am going to Michigan/Chicago to visit family for two weeks in July, hooray! And maybe a small road trip with my friends, it’s still up in the air. And I am definitely going to check out some colleges along the way. High school is loads of fun, but I can’t wait for college… it will be a whole new experience that I will soon be ready to take on! Any advice for college for those of you older TCP readers out there? I’d love to hear everything!

A lil shout out to Miss Daisy Fetters who is turning 14 today! HAPPY BIRTHDAYYY!!!! :)  My baby sis is growing up…  She will be a freshman next year at my school, I can’t wait, we will have soo much fun together! Wow, that is crazy, Sara and I will be seniors and Daisy a freshman…we can protect her from drama and those crazy high school boys. :p

Off to knock out some homework and then have birthday dinner & cake with the fam. Have a good weekend!

Spring is here, summer is coming!

26
March

Hey Guys,

Hope you had a good week! I am happy that spring break is almost here, I think we could all use a well deserved break from reality every now and then.  I cannot believe it is already spring… next thing you know it will be summer…and the 1 year anniversary of TCP!Also my 18th birthday, but who’s counting. :p Speaking of turning 18, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Greg!! (My awesome web manager guy) I hope you have a fabulous day, and may this year bring you the best days of your new life as an adult (at Stanfordin the fall might I add!)

 I have been doing cardio almost everyday, my body is exhausted! Although, it has been an adventure each day. Running along the beach is so much fun, I feel very thankful to live in such a beautiful place! The weather is so nice here as well, seems like summertime might come a bit early. :p

On Sunday a big group of the Takedown Challengers and I will be embarking on another hike around here. I don’t know what to expect, but I am sure it will be just as great as all my other hiking experiences. I feel like I have gotten to be a much stronger runnner these past few weeks. I am able to keep up with the crew these days. It’s a good feeling of accomplishment and I hope my body enables me to keep it up! I’ll be sure to post about the hike afterward to tell you how it went. Last Sunday we went to a big recreational park where they had horse trails and stables, and it was a few miles wide. Such a pretty sight, I had no idea this place even existed around here! It was in Irvine not too far from where I live.  I will try to get some pics up, as technologically inept as my dad is, he managed to snap a few pics of the scenery. :p

I have to confess something though…as much as I have been working out, I haven’t really kept up my stretching and brace wearing. :/ I need to get myself back on track because this is not a good pattern!! Yikess. I definitely don’t want to go through castings again…just gotta pull myself together a bit. It’s just all a big part of life with CP I guess. so have to remember to give my therapist a call, she is probably wondering if I fell of the face of the earth. :p

I am excited for next school year though (already, I know) But mostly because I will be a senior, and I might join ASB! Some of my best friends are on it and they said I would make a good addition, so I think I am going to apply for Commissioner of Community Service, pretty self-explanitory..but the position would just mean that I am in charge of representing HBHS at charity events, community service activities, that ASB attends. It might be a good idea to do something for UCP-OC, who knows, they might need a number of school spirited teens to support their cause at one point. :) I was also chosen to be a part of NHS National Honors Society for next year, and my amazing English teacher is the leader, I am so excited!’s a pretty special thing, only 20 seniors are involved in representing our school for it! It will be gratifying to get involved in the community and the school especially, since it is my last year! I have to make it the most memorable that’s for sure!

So I feel like I’m a little delayed and repetitive in my posts lately…are there any burning questions or topics you’d like to discuss? I’ve pretty much talked about CP related stuff in the past, but I know I’m only one in millons of teen with CP…so if you’re out there and always wanted to talk about a certain something you noticed, dealt with, confronted–anything CP related..just comment on this and see where it takes us! Thanks!

I’ll be on soon, hopefully with pictures of the hikes.
