I thought I was going to hate this arrangement, that I would be depressed not living in the country, but I have actually been enjoying the short ride to school and no 5am chores. What I really have been enjoying is my friends. I think I mentioned Olivia before. The house my mom bought is only a few houses away from her and she has a swimming pool. I met another friend as well--Holly. She just lives a few blocks away. Her house is pretty fancy. She has two older brothers who are pretty nice even if she thinks they are "rotten".
Olivia, Holly, and me |
I think it's pretty cool that we all have blue eyes. Olivia is shorter than Holly and I; she is the shortest in our class. I think she is glad to have me to protect her from bullies.
All in all, I don't think this year will be as bad as I anticipated. I'm looking forward to school, hanging out with my friends, and enjoying my weekends in the country. I hope things continue to be this positive.
We are glad that you are able to find good and enjoy your new arrangements so well .. sorry that you are having to go through all this, that part is no fun and we are sorry. It will be easier as you have a good attitude about it all. I know it is really hard.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are going to have a ton of fun with your new friends, it is neat that you live so close to Olivia.
We have sure missed your posts, but now understand why you have been so busy. It must be great not to have those EARLY morning chores anymore, I hate waking early. lol
Keep your chin up and enjoy your time at the ranch on weekends,
Hugs,
Taryn
Thanks, Taryn! I've missed posting so I'm glad to have more time. Hopefully I will get to know you and other bloggers better.

Hi Mac,
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear about your parents, but I understand - I was relieved when my biological parents split, too. At least there wasn't the constant fighting anymore.
It must be really hard to be apart from some of your siblings, though. It was hard for me when I didn't live with Fiona, even though I eventually got used to it.
Glad to hear you're making new friends! Your picture is really cute.
Love,
Bree
