Well hello!

It's been quite awhile hasn't it? Actually the only thing that got me here is that I found a blog that has a picture of my great great great (or so) grandfather! Isn't that cool? His name was Christopher Columbus Slaughter! And what's funny is HIS father's name (George) is MY grandad's name today! Pretty cool to find out stuff about my ancestors. I saw his picture too! He has the Slaughter ears. ;)
Well, as other things go, I am older. i got my braces off a few months ago, and am LOVING it! I didn't know these big white things existed under the jewlery I had before! :D I'm almost out of school, and this summer is going to be full! My church is having a mission trip, and I'm going to be helping with that. sadly we can't travel this time around because of money problems, but we're still going to make it a blast! Besides, we have better resources in our own town! other than that, I'm teaming up with a friend to work on some lessons for this thing our church does every summer called "summer sports night" (we're trying for a different name this year), so I'll be helping with that every Wednesday.
The one problem with being home schooled is that you can fall behind, and the time that all your friends finish is long before you finish, so it's not always the most fun way to begin your summer. But oh, well. I'll be enjoying this one way more than any other summer. Mostly because this school year was certainly the hardest so far. How things have changed. Only a moment ago I was in the first grade learning how to read and write! Granted, my handwriting was absolutely atrocious! But I didn't know that then. Those were the easy days.

'Til then my devoted followers!
