These past few weeks have been some of the best I have had in a long time! Christmas was a wonderful time, filled with joy and a feeling of hope was in the air. A good vibe was sent around the whole house. This was becausewe had so much family, it felt just like home again. Don't get me wrong, I am home, it just doesn't feel "homey" yet. Hopefully, once we get to the new house all of that will change. My Daddy just got back from his hockey game in Michigan, and I missed him terribly. He brought me back a surprise, and you are not going to believe what it was! It was a LIFE magazine dedicated to Audrey Hepburn, every page filled with pictures of her. I will cherish that magazine forever, and the twelve dollars spent on it was a good investment. The pictures were taken by a photographer well cherished by Audrey, which made this magazine EXTRA special. There were never before seen photos, I was brought to tears when he pulled it out of his suitcase.

Dance classes have been going great these last couple of weeks. I am finally getting a feel for the studio, and the people surrounding me are truly starting to feel like family. The good thing about this place is that you run into someone everywhere you go. Of course, this isn't ALWAYS a good thing, but it sure makes you feel loved. I want to join a Church Youth Group sometime soon, it will help me find friends, but will also help me build a stronger relationship with God. HE has been EXTRA good to me lately, and I owe him something. I feel like praying isn't enough, I want to learn more about Him, I want to talk to Him. I want to repay Him in any way possible. I have been trying to work on my attitude, but I need Him by my side, for he is everywhere, and He will help anyone who comes to Him. Thank you, Lord, for all You do for me and my family. Thank You for blessing everyone on earth, for helping everyone who asks for Your help, and thank You for giving us each day to live. I am truly grateful, and I hope that one day I can learn more about You, one day soon. "Live each day as if there were no tomorrow". What a beautiful saying, and how amazingly true. Thank You, Lord, for giving us our everything. I have my faith, and that is all that matters.

Love for always,

Life is Marvelous
