Cash Man

     Hey everyone! I am so sorry that I have not written in a week or so, I have been busy doing nothing. Well, in this post I just wanted to shout out a little celebration for my friend Cash. Cash has been in the hospital for the last five months and was on the edge of death. i am completely serious, a few months ago the expectations for him were low. He had an infection in his lungs that just would not clear up, and as a result was in a comatose state. I know Cash from where I used to live, and since I volunteer at Children's Hospital Colorado, I have been able to see him every week and become closer with his family. I had never seen a friend in that state, and my mom and I struggled to think about what was going to happen. At the end of a struggling stretch of time, it was decided that he would need to be flown out to another state, and given a lung transplant. Now we all know how hard it is to get on the top of a transplant list, and a lung transplant would only last him about five years. Then, after a week or so from that news, it was known that he would be ok. It was a MIRACLE! He soon got of a support machine and moved out of ICU onto a regular room. He started walking slowly, playing piano, playing on a new Ipad, and being alive. He beat the odds big time, and I am so proud of him. Anyway, yesterday Cash got to go to a hotel (out of the hospital) for the first time in five months. He is free and excited about it. Cash will spend a week or more in my families guest apartment which will be great for them to be close to the hospital. After that they will return home. Cash was the first child to ever stand up on an ECMO machine, he beat the highest odds you could imagine, and he continues to bring his cute smile into everyone life. So congrats, and thank you to all the doctors and nurses who helped him.

     So yea, that is Cash's story, it is important to me and I thought you guys might like to hear it. Cash is 9 years old and in second grade. As for me, I am enjoying the summer. Life has been truly delightful and I am so excited to bring Cash up to our apartment tomorrow. I plan on being much more active on this blog too. Thanks to everyone who supports and reads this blog reading.

Last Day of School!

Hurray! Ha, I can't say I am thrilled because I have no idea what I will do with all my time this summer, but I am excited. School has been strangely enjoyable this year, probably due to the fact that I am going to a new "alternative" school. Anyway, I have several things I plan to do over the summer including
Going to Wyoming
Going to Minnesota
Swimming in a nearby pond
Playing on my new X-Box
And of course, hanging out with the fam.

I don't have much more to say but you will hear more soon hopefully

Today

Hey everyone! Isn't life great?! Anyway, I am just loving the summer weather, sun and some rain. It is so beautiful and different. I don't have much to say, I did get my nose pierced on a whim. That's what happens when you go shopping with your mom and sister :). I am also enjoying some fabulous music on grooveshark, (Lilly Allen and Lenka). Yep that's all! sorry for such a boring post ha. If you have any things you want me to chat about just post them in the comments.

In My Life

     Hey everyone! I am currently at school enjoying my free period outside. I just got back from my month long trip to Nepal and as a result, our school only has one week left of classes. Yep that's right, I only have one more math class and two more biology classes. It is very convenient and awesome but unfortunately I have to learn this whole months math in a week to complete the final. Eh, what can you do. Anyway, I should be writing class evals also but a blog post is far more fun for everyone.
     Next week we have meetings with graduating students but mine are all on Thursday, so I get to hang out at school and do nothing all week! My class is going on a trip to the hot springs over memorial weekend, till the 30th, and they all want me to come. I of course, as a introvert have absolutely no interest in the matter. Conveniently I have an excuse! My excuse is that my best friend is having surgery at the hospital where I volunteer, and I promised I would be there for her! hurray, I get to help a friend and help myself. There is no doubt that my class will be disappointed, but they can deal.
     Yep, that's pretty much all that is going on in my life, I hope to see you back at this blog soon!

 Dorky pic, I look really young in


I did want to announce that I currently have a grand total of eight views, so thanks for stopping by.

WooHoo!

     Two page views yesterday! My life is complete. Just kidding, I have a long ways to go. I really appreciate if you have happened to stop by my blog, it makes me feel powerful I guess, like I can communicate with people and share my life. Not to sound cheesy or anything.
     Anyway, in my neighborhood we have a pond! Yes, it is so awesome and totally fun, but seeing as I live in Colorado, the water is very cold. Although it sounds painful to swim in cold pond water, it's so so much fun! My best friends and I always go there in the summer/ spring. I travel most of the summer so we have to manage the icy water. So, I have been so excited all winter for the spring to come so my friends and I can go swimming. I just got back from Nepal last week and I am dying to go swimming! Of course, that just isn't going to work, because guess what......    It snowed yesterday. No kidding, its ridiculous. So now I am going to wine this whole weekend about the weather, well maybe I can come up with something better to do.
     As for some great news on my part, next week is the last week of school classes! Hooray. I am kinda sad though, what will I do when school gets out? I guess I'll wine about the weather :P

Again, thank you to the two people who stopped by my blog, I really appreciate it

Did I mention I love cows? This is actually a Zupkio I took a pic of. Cute eh!

4 o'clock

     Recently I took a trip to Nepal which is almost exactly halfway around the world from where I live. The trip was positively incredible. I went to Nepal once when I was 11 and went back this year, it has been a long time. Anyway, I don't have too much to write about the trip since it has passed, but it left me with two things.
1. A cough
2. Major jetlag
     It is a twelve hour difference so my schedule is opposite. I am starting to get back on track with Mountain Time but I still wake up too early. Today I woke up at 4 and decided not to go back to bed. Instead of much needed sleep, I turned on Netflix! Yes, I am a guilty person who loves Netflix unconditionally. Anyway, I watched a movie called "The Fall" I had watched it the day before and loved it so much that I watched it this morning. Between the creative of the movie, the incredible acting, and the adorable main character who happens to be my favorite actor, It's a pretty awesome movie. Anyway, after that I moved on to facebook, of course. Unfortunately I have a very boring facebook life, and to no surprise there was nothing new for me to look at. It is my aunts birthday so I was able to accomplish something and wish her a happy birthday. Once I had completed my facebook time, I checked my email (nothing new) I checked my yahoo account (again, nothing new), then I checked Deviant Art for new messages and surprise I got one new message, and lastly I went on Etsy to look for a birthday presant for my mom. And that's the routine, it took me about thirty minutes and then I was left with a wide open Internet full of opportunities that I have no desire to explore. So I ended up here, voila! So yeah, Kind of a boring post but you totally got a good movie out of it. Watch the movie ASAP because Netflix will probably remove it soon, or not. Enjoy

My Budgies

I have two budgies who I love very much. One is named Chance and the other is Tango. The are both bright and bouncing girls! Chance is a sweetie, and today she is being ok. They are not especially well trained, Tango is a little bitchy sometimes. Tango likes to bite as well. Yep, I just thought I would share that with you :) Here is a picture
