Prenatal Influence #1
My mother loved eating cauliflower and brussel sprouts, and now I have grown to think they are extremely disgusting! -
Prenatal Influence #2
This was the day i was born! My mother pushed naturally (she didn't take any drugs or pain-killers). I'd say I came out normally, adn the birth was a complete success! -
Motor Development
I started crawling and wriggling very early, but I started to walk when I was about 12 months old. My parents had no control of me anymore HA! -
I Can Talk!
Oh my gosh, I can fully say something and people can understand me! This is much easier than crying for what I want. And to think I was only 18 months! -
I Can Dress Myself!
I'm two years old now, and I can officially dress myself, brush my on teeth, and take a bath all by myself! -
Oops I peed..but in the Toilet!
My mom and dad potty-trained me. Finally, there are no more embarassing diaper changes. -
We Have to Move
My family and I moved to a tiny town called Cedaredge. It was really far away from Denver where we used to live. -
Baby Brother Comes to Town
My baby brother is born! I'm five years old, and my sister and I are super excited to have a new buddy to play with. I love my little brother so much! -
Puberty Talk
I'm in the fifth grade now (almost a middle schooler yikes!) and we have to talk about puberty! Yuck, no one wants to know...but we have to. -
Starting Middle School
This was the start of the most awkward time of my life. I got braces, i was chubby because I was still growing, and my acne got even worse. -
Puberty..Oh God...
I...start...my period. This was the most miserable and embarassing moments of my life. Thank god I wasn't in school at the time. I was 12, and I had to tell my mother. I remeber exactly what she said too. "Oh my gosh my babies are growing up!" -
My First Makeout Sesh
On Valentines Day, of course right? I was 14 at the time and went on my first date to the movies. We ended up kissing of course, and i was excited but he had too wet of lips. Yuck! this definitely helped with my development of relatioships though because I learned that I don't like sloppy kisses or boys that dump me later on Ha! -
High School Whoop Whoop!
I'm starting high school, and I'm not nervous one bit. I quickly learn how to focus correctly in class and how to organize so I can be successful with homework and tests. I'm maturing a lot at this stage by learning who I'm friends with, having boyfriends, playing sports, and learning. Also, I'm trying to figure out more in depth of who I am. -
Being Awesome in Track
This was a fabulous year for me. I turned sixteen, got my driver's license, and went to state track for my second year in a row! My 4X200 meter relay race team won a state title and broke a state record. I also placed second in my individual event (long jump). These memories will forever be with me, and I'm proud to say that those were really great days. -
Death of a Friend
A friend of mine died from carbon monoxide poisoning. He was very energetic and a great role model in my school. My boyfriend and I (and several others in the school) were completely devastated. It made me realize how fragile life is and how important relationships are. My boyfriend and I struggled for awhile (our relationship was corrupted and shaken) but we eventaully found each other again. We cherish every moment we are given. -
Congratulations Graduation!
I finally did it! I graduated from high school, and now I'm moving away to college. This is a huge milestone for me, and I know how many people are proud of me. I have learned very much, and now I'm on my way to learning more about the world an myself.
