My Wild (But GOOD) Summer!

Well, now that I've finished my template, gotten all of my pages up and completed and somehow managed not to scream my lungs out in frustration over getting this thing set up, I think it's time I put up a real blog post.

I've actually been blogging for about two years, this is my latest blog. HSB was mean to me when they got their upgrades. Like so many other people, I left HSB! Their upgrades were more like downgrades.
Anyhow, I took a break from blogging for the summer, now I'm back with much to tell. Some of you may know me, some of you may not. I go by Katie, and if there's anymore you want to know about me, please view my "About Me" page.

Okay now, as for how my summer went, it was insane. Mostly good, but insane nonetheless. Ah, where oh where to begin?

Well, I've gotten serious about songwriting, and I've given up story writing for now. Might come back to it in a few years. Dunno. I'm teaching myself to sing and I've decided to take up learning music theory and teach myself keyboard.
We found out that Momma is pregnant earlier this summer. And then after awhile Momma started acting like she was having a miscarriage and for two miserable days, we thought that the baby was dead. However, God kinda let me know (Didn't speak to me, just kinda let me know) that Momma needed to go to the Hospital. Not sure why He chose to tell me, but I got my dad to take her and we found out that this baby is alive! You have no idea how wonderful it is to find out that someone you love is alive when you thought they were dead. It was amazing, a miracle really. The baby's nickname is Boo.

In late August we were given free tickets to our local water park. Since my mom is pregnant and couldn't go, I invited my best friend, Anna, (who lives in Oklahoma.) to come on down and take my mom's ticket and spend the day with me. Amazingly, her parents agreed and the two of us had a blast together! Though, I hurt my leg on one ride. The ride was terrifying, so the hurt leg wasn't even worth it. :-P Anna almost liked the ride though. *Shakes head* There were mostly fun rides though, there was this one ride with duel person inner-tubes that made you first go down, then up, then back down. That one was tons of fun. Anna and I rode it twice. And who knows how many times we went down the slides... (They also had the option of duel inner-tubes, which we mostly used.) We also spent a lot of time in the wave pool, which I found relaxing, and we went speedily around the lazy river. Ah yes, that was a great day, and though we came out horribly sunburned, (we lost our sun block...) it was totally worth it to spend the day with Anna! (Love ya, girl!)

Another thing that happened this summer was that we got hit by a tropical depression, which brought lots of flooding, though not nearly as much as in other areas.

One of the best parts of this summer though has been that I've been getting closer to God and learning so much.

Yes, summer of 2010 was wild, but good, and now it's gone. However, I don't think things will be slowing down. With my mom being pregnant, the holidays on the way, my birthday just around the corner, a baby due in February, me being bridesmaid in my cousin's wedding, learning to drive, etc, I don't think things could slow down. lol

So, how was your summer?

God Bless!
