Have No Fear... I AM Still Here!

It's been almost a year since I've posted, and alot has happened! Let's play Ketchup and see what I've been up to.

I got my permit, so I have been LEGALLY driving on the roads of PA between 6am and 11pm. Unfortunately, my mother and I hopped one curb and she decided she won't drive with me anymore. Oh well, there's always Uncle Jim!

A few months before my birthday, I went out to an Anniversary party for our friends the Henry's. WELL. It turns out... SURPRISE!! My family and friends pulled a fast one on me and gave me possibly the best birthday party ever... even Mrs. McConlogue was in on the action! Here I am with my friend Tyler Conway blowing out the Sweet Sixteen candles on the cake. It turns out, Tyler's real birthday was on the same day as my party, so we let him help me out.

Here I am on my actual birthday, the day of our "Bell Game". Our football team, the Scranton Knights, play the rival team, the West Scranton Invaders, in the most popular game all season. What a great day it was! My 16th birthday, Pep Rallies for the game, and then the game itself! Unfortunately, the Knights lost but I still had a great time with all of my friends. I headed back with Jazmine (center) and Katie (4th from left) to Brooke's house (she's standing by me) to console with s'mores and sodas.

What a crew! This was taken at Grandma Z's on Christmas. Everyone was glad to see Aunt Sue and Uncle Dan (and especially our favorite buddy Hoagie!) come in for the holiday. I think we all enjoyed Grandma's ham... oh, and did I mention PRESENTS?! We all liked those, too. What a great way to end a great year!

Me? Drive? A car? Sweet!

Look out world... I Am MOBILE!

Hit the ground! Run while you still have the chance!

Yep, its true, I have had my first actual driving experience.

Since I should be getting my permit in about 3months, the parents have finally agreed to let me get some experience behind the wheel. (Well I should say MOM finally agreed and forced dad to go too!) It was really cool. I got to give my parents whiplash, and most importantly...

I GOT TO FEEL LIKE A NASCAR!!! -- But don't let me fool you, I was only going 2mph.

SURPRISE?

Well, Friday was one busy day! I went to go and see Larry in her play (which was cool, as usual). Then out to lunch with the girls-- mmm pizza and cheese fries lol marse!

Then after a while of deciding and un-deciding, it was time for Megan's surprise partaay!!! It was so funny and she was soo surprised. The theme was "United States of Megan: Welcome to Your Country". We had flags and streamers, hotdogs and freedom fries, we played badminton and bocce ball. Everyone even tested their skills with the Immigration Test (nobody could believe that we all were getting deported!) haha. The cupcakes even showed sported theme with their flag design. The most fun we had, however, had to be the sparklers and s'mores we had. Nothing tastes better than a toastie mallow sandwiched between 2grams and a huge hunk of chocolate! :)

It was also the first time we saw Jazmine since she went to Florida, and SHE BROUGHT US ALL PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN EYEPATCHES!!! They were so funny, we just had to take a picture. tehehe!

Well Talk to You s'more later! Off to plan on the campout Friday!!!

Cheerio-s!

EVER!). then we taught bean how to make scrubbies. yay! she did so well. around six oclock we went blueberry picking! it was great!! and i had an experience to last me a lifetime! the berries we sooo good that nobody could resist eating a few... dozen! "aunt" lynn even took some bushes home to plant. it was soo much fun and i hope i get to go again sometime.
