You are my shining star

I'm back from Haskell. A lot has changed I feel. It's just so weird. But for now, I'll just show what life is like in Haskell, and mention my adventures in a small town:



Monday: We got Dad to drop us off at Grandma's house. I spent the night at Tia Glo's house, consisting of The Girls: Christina, Breanna, Victoria, and Kellie. The first 3 mentioned are sisters, but they are all my cousins. Christi's friend Elizabeth was there too, she mine as while be my cousin lol. Here's a pic of them minsu Liz:



That's Christi, Breanna, Kellie, and the one sitting is Victoria. We went to the park to swing and play tag, that was fun. At the house I showed them funny videos and we played some Gamecube. The girls stay up late! I went to bed around 11:30 or 12 and didn't wake up until 10:40 >< Kellie had left but the rest were still asleep.

Tuesday: After waking up and what not I went to the store with my mom. Let's see what else happened....there was mexican food, I mostly stayed at my Grandma's house that day. Nothing too exciting happened, I did go walking though. And I also learned, that my Grandma can't make tortillas anymore...It's because she's in pain, something about a disc in her spine slipped...but she just can't put pressure on her body....she's seeing a specialist tomorrow...anyways, we also watched Freedom Writer's (GREAT MOVIE!) and I painted a bit too.

Wednesday: Went walking. Grandma was a sleep most of the day....Some other family came by to visit, the lil kids were cute. Wed was actually really adventurous. The girls had an extra bike so we went bike riding, I realized how much I miss riding a bike....I think I'll ask for one at Christmas, they aren't that much, or maybe just to have one next summer.

We rode around the graveyard:




That Angel is my favorite tombstone ever.



My Uncle Ruben's grave:
That Angel is my favorite tombstone ever.

The lil girl (her picture is gone, I don't know what happened, according to my mom the lil girl was mentally retarded, I don't know if that played into her early death or not, but it still gets me, I like to go to it, makes me think of how short life can be)and my grandpa's graves:



Close up of my Grandpa:



We also went by the school too, which is not far from the graves, and actually where I was staying, my cousins live in this area, like for real walking distance:



Cows:



Thursday was Victoria's 3rd birthday, and because they were leaving the next day, we had a lil get together for her on Wed:



Before then I also watched Marie Antoinette, not too bad of a movie, but I wish they would have shown her head getting chopped off.....Later on we watched Linkin Park on the live stream on Myspace, I didn't watch it all, I went back. Tommy and his g/f Kayla were there, Tommy heard Grandma wasn't doing too well. Tommy is nicer now, he's matured. It's weird. I also saw my cousin Alfred a total of 3 times. That was a shock.

Thursday: Blah. That's today isn't it. It was blah actually. I came home. We left Grandma, though Mom didn't really want too. I feel bad for her...Grandma getting weaker is just showing how much time is going by...it scares me...is it too much to ask that Grandma see me graduate college? Now home, Gabby and I got the second round of HPV shot, and later we went to Wal-Mart. Mom and I just got done watching Sonya.

All this time I was in Haskell, I noticed alot of change. It makes me sad to think how time is going by, so much growing up. It occurred to me that a year after I graduate from Dallas, Kelli will be graduating from high school. Time is going by. Tommy has two years left of high school. It's crazy. Grandma is getting weak. I guess I don't adjust well to change. I'm so eager for it, I want to change the world, however here I am upset with change. It's bittersweet I guess.

Tomorrow is busy, so is the next and the next...next week should be quiet, most everyone will be at school. And I'll just be waiting.
