~coming~

2014 is coming. I only have two days left of 2013. I have been thinking about goals to set for this new year. I've been thinking about my upcoming events and trips.
I'm determined to have straight A's by the end of the school year.
I hope to play lot's and lot's of softball. To get more specific, I hope to play catcher a lot. I didn't get a lot of catching time in the fall season, and catcher is where I am comfortable. Catcher is where I shine.
I'll be having my sweet sixteen birthday this year. Really, it's only about two months away. I'm looking forward to this exciting day.
I'll be half way through high school in June. It's hard to believe. I've enjoyed high school so much, and I really don't want to leave.
I have set up my 2014 calendar, and I am ready for what ever the new year has to throw at me.

~time~

Time has passed. A considerable amount, I might add. I have checked, and the last time I posted was February of this year. I just haven't been very motivated to make a blog post. But now I'm back. So what have I done in these past 10 months?

March- I turned fifteen and that has been so much better than being fourteen. It's been amazing.

April-We celebrated Easter up in Rhode Island and it was lovely seeing my grandparents, and other family members.

May-Stella had her fourteenth birthday. I've been trying to get along a little better with her.

June- I managed to complete freshman year of high school. It was tough, but I did it. Stella finished middle school so she was able to join the high school community. I got to see my first Baltimore Orioles game, and it was awesome. They won, which makes it even better.

July- This was the best. I got to go to the softball world series in Salisbury. Even though I had to get up at 5:45, and even though we didn't win, I had such a great time! And really, we made it halfway through the competition. Then about a week later, I got to see my first Washington National's game.

August- This was our relaxing month. But I did get to go to a falconry camp in Pittsburgh, and it was blast. I got to hold a Lanner Falcon, and it was one of the most exciting moment's of my summer. I later got to see the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Miami Marlins. Later that month, Stella got to ring the national anthem at a National's game. I almost caught Jason Werths' three run homer, but it landed in the seat behind me.

September-We took our annual trip to Cape Cod and as usual, we had a great time. I started the 10th grade and Thursday classes started up. It felt great to see all my friends again and to start making some new one's as well.

October- For Halloween I dressed up as my made up superhero Solarbeam. I started to really focus on my school work. I am determined to get straight A's.

November-We decided to go camping for Thanksgiving. It was fun, but I think I left our camper a total of three times.

December-My Dad's birthday has come and gone, and today is Christmas. I have given gifts, like a Pirates jersey from my mom, and I've received great gifts, like Tardis socks in my stocking.

I plan to be a more vivid blogger this coming year.
