January updates and an apology

So, yeah. I’m basically the worse blogger ever. I just disappear for over a month without any hint of why and where…

Ya’ll can disown me now.

Just kidding. Please don’t. At least let me explain…. no, there is too much. Let me sum up.*

Well, I thought that I would have more free time come January. I had a ton of post ideas, like literally, a ton. I wanted to do all these things, and then BAM, school. Uh, yeah. School, and other activities. It just so happened that when I had free time, I had no motivation to post. Even now, I’m not super motivated, but I’ve got nothing else to do, so I figured you need an explanation, at least.

Once January got into full swing, it so happened that a bunch of extracurricular activities also came back (well, not a bunch…. 2 to be exact). And for some reason I felt more dedicated to school, so instead of slacking off, I spent hours each day working on it. Literally, if I started at 9 am, some days I wouldn’t be finished until 4 or later. Other days I would have to babysit my brothers. Other days I would have to do other things. So basically I’m saying that I got busy.

Enough of that.

January was a good month overall. Here’s what happened in it.

1. The new year, duh. We spent that day hiking (well, part of it)
2. Awana happened again after being shut down for December
3. My 17th birthday
4. My brother’s 4th birthday
5. AND Vacation! (more on that in a moment)

I think that is all that happened.

Anyways, my family went on a-little-longer-than-a-week vacation. Which was so fun! Actually, we went to pick up a new-to-us Ford Transit 15 Passenger van in Atlanta, Georgia. AND!!! We flew there!! Like, in an airplane (we don’t have wings). It was my first time flying, and I loved it! Thanks to all those who gave me tips! After we got the van, we drove to Florida to visit grandparents! We stayed there for 4 days, and then drove home. It took three days to get home. I had a great time!

Now that we are back home, I am going to try to get into a posting routine again. We’ll see what I can do when I get my schedule figured out. I seriously want to make an actually this-is-when-I-post schedule, just so I can have one and post consistently. Thank you for sticking with me in this crazy journey.

Well, friends, adios!

I’ll be back again soon since I am scheduling a post….
