Friends

In trying to decide what to write this post about, what came to mind was a subject very important to me: my friends.
I have a really diverse and large group of friends, when I come to think of it. I love making new friends and have made several new ones over the past few years. Some of them I've never met in person, but I still feel a connection with them.
Some of them I've now had for a long time and spend hours (when possible) hanging out and talking with them.
This post is just to say, I'm thinking about all of you, my wonderful friends, and you mean so much to me!

Wahaha!

Sooooooooo I get to make the FIRST POST OF 2013 ON HERE!!! :D I actually got on here to do something else but no one has posted on here in so long that I thought, "Why not?"
Not really sure what to talking about but, first off HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope you all had an amazing 2012! Mine was great! With probably the BIGGEST high light being when Katy and her mom came out for a visit!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

 It was an AWESOME TIME TOGETHER!!!!!!!!! :) And Rejelle got to hang out with us which made the time THAT much better!!!! :)

 Yeah we had a LOT of fun!!! :)

A lot of other stuff happened this year, like my cute little niece Amy Colleen was born! :)

And hey the world did not end like some people said it would so that was nice! :)

what's been going on and other random things...

I am sorry I hardly ever write on here anymore. On the other hand, blogs don't appear to be very popular at the moment...at least, mine doesn't! I can chalk that up to being my fault, probably. Oh well...
I am not trying to give excuses or anything but I have been very busy ever since August 27th. That was the day my world got turned upside-down and rotated and all other kinds of things. That's right: I was taken to a planet with zero gravity and purple aliens. Nope! I started college! (and...if you think my joke there was lame...well...that's your right). At ANY rate...
College has been a whirlwind of many positive and negative events...and...for now I don't really feel like saying anymore!
This year has been a year of change for me. I...

• got into college
• graduated homeschool/high school
• got to meet some of my best friends in person finally
• made friends with Twilight. (ME??? yep.)
• Seen some pretty awesome movies (that's not really a change...but w/e...)
• maybe, just maybe am on my way to making some new friends on campus.
• Got my hair cut! (with one of my best friends!!) and donated it to Locks of Love which I've wanted to do for a long time.

Finally, I apologize to those of you whose blogs I follow. I have not been good about visiting regularly, making comments, etc. I really have no good excuse and should consider being a better friend and...idk...COMMUNICATING?? :)
bye for now, guys. :)

awesome time in the Midwest!

 Last week was so much fun and so interesting. My mom and I went to the top of the St. Louis Arch and into the depths of the Mark Twain Cave and Cameron Cave in Hannibal, MO. Best of all, I FINALLY got to meet my two awesome cuz-friends in PERSON! :

After they came and got us at the airport, our great friends took us to the St. Louis Arch, a.k.a the Gateway to the West. This is a picture of the terrific trio :) at the top of the Arch. L-R: Rene, Preciosa, me!:)

 

 Where'd all my hair go????? Good question. The day after we arrived, I had 10 inches cut off to donate to Locks of Love. Preciosa is also donating, and so are her mom and sister! :) By the time my hair was all done, more than 10" had actually been cut off because after the ponytail came off my hair was layered and thinned. This is me and my mom smiling for the camera at the Mark Twain Cave!

 

Whoa! Long hair again! This is at the St. Louis airport; we had to wait a long time for our 2 suitcases and we were so excited we could help all this smiling, hugging, laughing, and posing for photos! :)

Awesome Friends!

OK, so, I have known Rene and her sister Maria for...I'm not sure how many years...maybe about five. The three of us started out as pen-pals. Maria and I still talk now and then, on Skype an such, which is fun! Then, after about two years, Rene and I became e-mail pals!! Haha!!! For which I thank her for e-mailing me because we'd kinda stopped writing each other. THANK YOU RENE; YOU'RE AWESOME!!!!! In 2009, Rene introduced me (through the good old internet) to her cousin, Preciosa. I never properly thanked you for that either, Rene...;) Anyway, Preciosa and I got along really well too and pretty soon I had another AWESOME friend!
I feel so special to have such amazing friends and honorary cousins!!!! :) Cheers! I just like to remember how and when we all met and I thought everyone else might like to hear it too!! :)

New Name for Blog

Like my friend, Preciosa, I would like to rename this blog...first of all, Katy's Blog is a very, very, very, very boring title. Secondly, I am NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO WRITES ON HERE!!! My friends Preciosa and Rene are ALSO authors on here now, so, to call it Katy's Blog in that way is also kinda.......wrong. SO ANYWAY!!!! If you have suggestions or anything PLEASE COMMENT!!! I am hoping to rename this blog SOON. I may be putting up a poll. Anyway, just to throw a couple out there right now....

• The Friends Blog
• ALL of Us (lol, i just thought now thought that one up, it has the initials of my friends' and my last names)
