My Best Friend

This picture is of me and my best friend Paige. We have known each other for about 8 years now and we have been friends ever since. We are with each other every chance we get! We always have so much fun together. We have helped each other through our problems whether it is little problems like not knowing what to wear or big problems like family issues or   personal issues. I love her with all of my heart! I know we will be best friends forever. Paige and I were in the car yesterday to pick up her dog from her grandmothers house. Paige's little cousin has a friend and we took her home because she had to leave for vacation the next day. The whole way home she talked about her best friend and how they called each other half sisters. Me and Paige looked at each other and told the little friend that Paige and I are also like sisters. I will remember that moment forever because I know I can count on Paige as long as I live.

make memories last..

As life goes on i start to realize what I have been given. Not many people have been to Boston, Oregon, Wyoming, Colorado, and many other places before the age of 15. I have been able to do that because of my parents. Although they are separated and they say things won't change, I know they will. I experienced a change today. This year was the first year i have spent the 4th of July without my mom and dad together. It was actually quite hard to come to my senses when i realized that this was actually happening. I had no idea that 2010 would be the last year my family spent christmas together as a whole. If i had known that I probably would have soaked in all of the good memories my family has had. Like getting lost on the ski slopes calling for my mom and dad to come help me. Or my parents teaching me how to ride a bike. And even just the little things like having family dinners. But what i will miss most of all is knowing that my parents will never love each other again. I always looked at families that have been torn apart by divorces and I think to myself wow, that must be really hard for them. And I never actually realized how hard it really was. Not the schedule part but the fact that I won't be able to see my mom and dad everyday when I wake up in the morning. I pray every night that things will get better but it seems that things only get worse. My parents are moving on and soon there will probably be another person in my mom/dad's life. I want them to be happy but is it selfish of me to wish they wouldn't meet anyone?

4th of July

Happy 4th of July everyone! Today has been a long day. I woke up around 10:30. Me and my dad watched t.v for about 15 minutes while eating breakfast. Then he took me to my mothers house. I went home and ate again (: My mom went for a run and when she got back we went swimming for a good 2 hours. Bogey jumped in after me and i tried to swim away before he could scratch me. Crazy dog. After the pool i watched a movie. It was called Fred:the movie. It was awful. SOOOOO annoying! Me and my mom went to the Fresh Market later on to get groceries. Right as we got home my sister and her friends DEMOLISHED everything. Lets just say we aren't having muffins for breakfast tomorrow morning (thank goodness they didn't touch my red velvet cupcakes)! I am now at my dads apartment chilling with my favorite person ever! I also want to wish my grandmother a very happy birthday. I love her very much and can't wait to visit her again. I LOVE YOU G-MA

Silly Dog!

While leaving my grandmothers house my dog, Bogey, gently laid his head on my shoulder. i rubbed his ear and didn't think much of it. As soon as i turned my head he jumped on my lap and started making a big ruckus. He was changing the car gears and as soon as he got situated in my lap he was out like a light. I love this dog with all of my heart. Don't know what i would do without him.

Surgery

On May 31, I had jaw surgery because I had an awful over bite. We had planned it for about 2 years and when the day finally came i was excited to get it over with but nervous at the same time. In the surgery they moved my jaw forward and wired my mouth shut with rubber bands! They did another thing but i'm not quite sure what. It has taken me six weeks to recover and i still can't open my mouth all the way! I miss eating burgers and hotdogs! I hope to make a full recovery before school starts! I am still swollen but everyday I see improvements. xoxo

Adventures with G-ma

Today i am visiting my lovely grandmother Nancy. She also has a blog called Travels with Mr.Nimble. Go follow!!! Last year she took her dog Jack and her little camper out west and went everywhere! i visited her while she was in Oregon. I had a blast! Although it was extremely crowded in her little camper i couldn't have had a better time! We went to Mt.Hood and went mountain biking and zip lining! I was the only one brave enough to bungee jump though! I took a hard fall while biking down Mt.Hood. So my dad carried me to the kid slide. I rode that all the way down the mountain. Best time of my life! except for the fact that all the other little kids were scared of my bloody knees. After Mt.Hood we all went to Multanomah Falls. Aunt Susan, my sister Keely, my dad, and I all hiked up the waterfall and boy was i tired! we looked over the ledge and tried to look for the woman's face that supposedly fell off of the waterfall. Rumor has it that if you look hard enough you can see her face in the water!              


We also went to Mt.Hebo. My grandfather was in the air force there. My dad said he and his friends would take a wagon and ride ALL THE WAY down  the mountain then walk ALL THE WAY back up the mountain and do it again! That sounds like one nice job to me! Once we were up there i looked over the edge of the mountain and we were above the clouds. It was the most beautiful thing i had ever seen. I am looking forward to many more adventures with my grandmother! Thanks for reading! xoxo

                                                                          

Starting off on the right foot

Hey there! My name is Peyton. I have one sister and two dogs. my parents are divorced but have worked things out so my dad can live close by which makes me happy! My dad always tells me that if i look at my situation (the divorce) at a different angle that it really isn't bad. Getting a divorce is WAY better than losing a loved one. And i agree 100%. My mom has helped me through things and even though we fight i love her with all of my heart and soul. I know it may not seem like it but i do. My grandmother has inspired me to travel everywhere i want to go in life. And so has my dad. I want to grow up o be just like my dad because he is able to do anything he desires! My sister and i fight a lot. probably more than we don't fight! But when we get along we hangout with each other and it is quite and experience! lets just say make sure you hold onto something when were around! Anyway that is a little bit about me and my family. until next time, i hope you enjoyed reading! xoxo
