Finals

Hey everyone!
Lu, Claire, and I are about to take our first two final today, and I'm pretty stressed out. If you guys can say a quick prayer for us, that would be totally amazing. I'll be praying for all you out there who are taking finals!

Quick Thanksgiving Picture

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving guys!

I'm going to do the cliche thing and talk about what I'm thankful for. Bear with me.

First of all, I'm extremely thankful for my wonderful family. My family is crazy and fun and weird and awesome, and they are always there for me.
There's Lu, who seems quiet, but is like the best person to watch movies and fangirl with. She's just a year older than me, and is crazy fun.
Then there's Claire who, being my twin sister, I can count on to be with me all the time. She loves the things I love and hates the things I hate, and she's the perfect person to have late night conversations with.
Mimi is six years younger than me, and is pretty much a mini-me. I don't always get along with her because we are so similar, but she's also really fun to chat with because she cracks me up. :P She recently started swim team with me and Claire, and she feels really grown up. It's so cute.
Annie is a little goofball and is just the funniest kid ever. I love her so much.
Zelie is a little bundle of joy, and crazy as heck. She, Mimi, and Annie have memorized every possible Disney song and all the theme songs of their favorite TV shows. It's uncanny.
Then of course, my parents who are unbelievably amazing. They go through so much to make us happy, and I'm so, so, so thankful for them.

I'm thankful for my AMAZING friends. They are always there to have crazy conversations with, and always make me so happy. Just to name a few, there is Abby, who I have known forever and have some... let's just say insane.... experiences with. I'll just let you read this post from her blog, and leave it at that. I love her, she's the best.
There's Monica, who I have known forever and ever and is crazy and awesome. She does swim team with me and is just so, so, so, awesome. She gives me book recommendations and I give her movie recommendations so it works out great. :P

Me and Moni. 

The Beauty herself

Then, of course, there's Bella. She is just amazing in every way. She's so fun and crazy and we do the craziest and funnest things together. She's always there when I want to give her a sob story talk to her, and she's just the best.

She's going to kill me for posting this, but I just had to

There you go. We are just a bit insane

The dorks at their greatest

Bella's little sister Addy is a ton of fun too. She is wacky and crazy and brightens up my day. :P

Then there's Gabby who is soooooo much fun. :P She is the drama queen of them all, and she is so fun to be weird with.

Okay, so there's just a few of my besties and I can't say how thankful I am for them. I love them all to death. <3

Okay, moving on. I'm thankful for the wonderful school I go too. It's a great Catholic school, and I love going there. I'm thankful that I was homeschooled too, and got to have the wonderful experience of being homeschooled. 

I'm so so so so thankful for being Catholic and being raised in such a beautiful Catholic environment. I'm thankful that my parents raised me to be a strong Catholic. I'm thankful for God, that he can forgive me so easily, and that he wants me to grow closer to him every day.

I'm thankful to my readers of S&S and for reading these posts. It really means a lot.

Okay, there you go. If you read this all... wow. Good job. XD

I'm going to go be a social person and spend time with my family.

Have a wonderful thanksgiving and eat your hearts out because I know I will.

Lots of love,

Jo

My Happy Week

Hey you!
So, like the title suggests, yes, I'm pretty happy at the moment. :)
I'm going to go through the thing that made me happy this week.

Sunday: I got to hang out with some friends that I hadn't seen in awhile. We got ice cream and went swimming.

Monday: I had a pretty good day at school and then came home and when to an American Heritage Girl meeting. I hadn't been able to go to any of the meetings yet this year, because of golf, but the golf season is over now so I got to go to that.

Tuesday: I had the day off of school, which was soooo dreamy. I hung out with some other friends that I hadn't seen in a while.

Wednesday: Yesterday was the end-of-the-year Girls Varsity Golf Banquet. I got there and we had a really nice dinner with all the girls on the team, our coach, and the parents. The presentations started and I got a Varsity certificate, a school award for having a GPA of 3.0 or better, and an Athletic All-League for having a GPA of 3.5 or better. Then my coach announced that Lucie and I are going to be co-captains of the Varsity Girls Golf team for the next three years! This is a really big deal for me and that totally made my day. I'm really happy that my coach thinks that, as a Freshman, I'm capable of being a team captain. :) :) :) Basically what the captain(s) does is recruit girls that they think would make a really good team, be really encouraging to the team mates, be organized, and be a good leader. Coach says that Lucie and I combined make the perfect Captain. I totally did not see this coming, and I'm still really excited about this!!

Thursday: Today at school I received my beautiful Varsity letter that I can hang on my wall.
Also today, my Biology teacher came back after being gone for three weeks to get surgery. The substitute was not a very great teacher, so it was sooooo nice to have my teacher back. I also had two tests today, both of which I think I did really well on.

So that's been my week so far, and right now I'm so happy. :) Do you ever just feel happy and you don't know quite why, you just feel happy? Cuz, that's what I'm feeling right now.

AND, Halloween is in TWO DAYS! Guys, I love Halloween. Yes, I'm still going to go trick-or-treating. XD I'm going as Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's. I'll take pictures and post them if I can.

27 days until Thanksgiving and Christmas is in 57 days!!!!!
The countdown has begun.
