New years

The new year will be here shortly. I must say this year has been the best year I can remember.

I'm certain 2012 will bring just as much (If not more) Joy and happiness this year brought.
Many people make new years resolutions, some that get accomplished and some that don't. This coming year I plan to have accomplished a lot, I hope to have gotten my book complete and hopefully published, I hope to stop my bad habit of biting my finger nails.

I also hope to continue practicing on writing poems. Also I want to lose at least 10 pounds by mom and dads wedding. This year brought knowledge and happiness and bravery into my life, I have always appreciated troops, now I have a higher respect for them, and their families too. Being a daughter of a troop I realize the families and friends go through as much grief as the troops them selves.

This coming year (2012) I will be fifteen, another year older. My dad will be coming home to us sometime in 2012 and life will continue to get better from there. Surprisingly most days have passed fairly quickly, though I still think about dad and the fact that he is away, and it is very tough on us all some days are easy, easier than others at least.

It does help that now I can talk to my dad on Skype when he gets a free minute. I'm loving my new laptop he bought us for Christmas. He bought my sisters and I one for each of us, to go along with that I also got a new camera and headphones.

Also I am allowed on Google now so I can research things for my novels. I have a bigger book project starting after dad goes back overseas thankfully it will be a time period of six months that I have to accomplish it in. I hope to have my small book wrote and edited in February and I have two books that I had started before this small contest that I still need to get done.

Needless to say I have a lot of writing to do, I also have a wedding to attend (I can't wait!) I'll be adopted later in the year or early in 2013 by my wonderful dad and my family will finally be a big wonderful full family.


Dad,

I love and miss you and I hope your new year goes as easy as it can being over there, I thank you very much for continuing to show your love for us even as you aren't here too see us, I do miss your hugs and I miss hearing your laugh, stay safe my cowboy hero dad, I love you.

Soul moving music

Tonight I'm writing about music, because everyone agrees that music is an important thing in life.
Every one has different tastes in music. I know this because when I'm playing on my gaming web site (pogo.com) when I meet someone new one of the first things I ask is, "what kind of music do you listen to?"
I have gotten many answers, and if I'm on the music subject sometimes I'll say, "I love country music!" and someone will say "country is the worst music ever." I shrug it off and continue my chat.

Tonight as mom was fixing dinner we heard some really awful and loud music coming from outside. Grandma commented that she hated that music and that people shouldn't play music that loud from their cars, it literately shook the house! It was horrible.

Today me and my sister "monkey Boo" was singing on the porch, we were memorizing some of our favorite song's. One of which was "He's Coming Home" by Cowboy Crush. Its about a man in the military, it really hits home to our family right now. It's talking about their loved one coming home safe. Our family has hope that my dad will be home safe and sound. I know he will because I have faith in him, I know he's well trained for this sort of thing. 

Back to music. I know some people may say "country isn't the best" but my little sister boo can sing very well, I mean she sounds like Carrie Underwood, she's so good! I would love nothing more than to see my little sister in concert. Or even at the Grand Ole Opry! I know she can do it. As well as my sister's Boo and Lea singing well, so can my mom, dad and even my grandparents! I guess its in our blood. My family says I can sing well too, I don't so much think so but, I guess as long as others enjoy it it's worth doing.

Anyway, I ramble too much about nothing I guess but the point I'm trying to make is, music is a wonderful thing. I can't believe schools took out music class. I think everyone should learn something to do with music, it brings people joy and happiness. Especially me and my family. My family and I do whats known in our house as "music night" its when mom plays about ten seconds of a song and me and my sisters have to say the name of the song and the band, its really fun!

Well, that's my fill for the night, I will blog more tomorrow night.

I love and miss you so much dad, I think of you every minute of every day, but if a song comes on that you sing to mom, or that I listened to while you were here I think of you just that much more. Stay strong like I know you can. Hurry home, I love you!
