Traveling Companion

Alright so for those of you who didn't know, I am traveling down to sydney with my cousin and his family. They are then continuing on to Cannes. I am going to be meeting a girl from Ontario at the sydney airport that is also going to Capernwray, so no need to worry, I will not be by myself...... haha. I was a little worried myself but should not have been because God takes care of me :).

ALSO those of you who are reading this and are not a follower of my blog..... JOIN. So that I feel as if alot of people are reading it lol

The Art of Packing

I guess I really don't need to start packing yet..... bu it helps me to feel more prepared.
Step 1: Get everything together you think you need to bring
Step 2: Try and fit everything into your suitcase
Step 3: Realize that you want to bring TOO much stuff and take some out.
Step 4: Fit everything in your suitcase and weigh it...... it weighs too much....
Step 5: Go through everything again, figure out what is SO heavy and take it out.
Step 6: Put the heavy stuff in your carryon as long as its not liquids....( you can carry 44 pounds on the plane)
Step 7: IT WORKED!!!!...... until I find more stuff I want to bring

Don't worry Grandpa! After this, I really don't want to have to pack up the entirety of my personal belongings and ship them across the country/world ;)

The Friend Effect

I have been blessed with SO many great friends. Before entering highschool I prayed that I would meet just one wonderful person that I would have a great friendship with, and God answered my prayers ten-fold. He gave me way more friends then I expected to receive and they have effected me in different ways. If you have good friends, you change for the better. If your friends have a negative effect on you, they are not the friends you need or should want. My friends are the exceptional ones. The ones that make you happy, convince you to try new things, make you more confident and self-assured, and even sometimes make you want to put more effort into your appearance! I am SO thankful for every one of my friends that have helped me learn through them and made highschool a great and memorable experience. To all my friends, that we may never lose touch, though we move great distances apart, may we stay close together in our hearts!!!  Thank-you
