hey guys
- sorry i havent been keeping up with my blog. A lot has happened. Well for one im finally a junior
and for the summer i flew out to my mom’s house in Oregon for 3 weeks. i worked at her office for a couple weeks. One weekend me and my mom took a trip down tot he Oregon coast for a mother-daughter trip. it was peaceful and relaxing and we had fun. I did go to physical therapy because of my knee. The muscle is weak and i do need a knee brace. i also have excercises everyday that i need to do but it will pay off in the end. My last day there my step sister and i drove down to the coast. it was 90 degrees and it felt awesome!! Oh for 4th of july we went to the blue’s festival and sat there for 6 or something hours till the fireworks. it was pretty cool. and the first day i got to oregon we went to the zoo. that was fun to.
- ON july 8th i flew back to MN and stayed with my friend Abby
it was so much fun!! the first night we pulled an all- nighter. but the next day we got pretty tired. we watched Eclipse and hung out with friends all weekend. then on tuesday we went to valley fair. it was pretty amazing. On thursday abby had her birthday party at crystal lake and after that we went to her cabin and lake. We went boating an tubing and swimming. we even caught 23 turtles that weekend. and the day after we drove up to her farm. it did rain and storm up there but there were a few times it was sunny. But there were tornado watches and warnings all day. it was pretty cool. Abby and I had a fantastic time together and hopefully she is coming down in the winter.
- i am now back in texas and when i had arrived back home there was a cute puppy waiting for me
she is a pitbull shepard and very lovable. I named her peanut
she is very energetic and very lovable. I am now looking for a job and not having very much luck
but hopefully soon. School starts August 23 for me so its coming up pretty soon. Our ac has failed on us a couple times since i have been here but we finally got it fixed
hopefully i will keep updating my blog and let you all know whats going on.
miss you guys! <3 Elisha

So tomorrow is my 16 th birthday. my dad has to work on monday so last night we decided to celebrate my birthday. my unlce Chad and my aunt Vonda came over. first we cooked tacos
my favorite and then we sat in the hot tub. well the hot tub was getting to hot so me and my dad decided to go jump in the pool. well even though its like 80 or so outside the pool is still 70. so we jumped in and the pool was pretty chilly. lol but we did a few more jumps back and forth. it was fun. after the hot tubbing we went inside and ate cake. by then it was getting late so vonda and chad went home. i got lots of birthday cards and im getting a futon soon for my room

this article is finally here. lol i know you all have been waiting for news about texas, well here it is!!!
Saturday: March 27, i flew into new mexico and then off to Dallas, TX. My awesome cousin Cody picked me up and we went to down town Dallas. He took me out to a very nice custard place and we talked for a bit. ( he was giving me tips on how to not be so stressed) we headed over to my cousins house afterwards and i soon fell asleep.
Sunday: March 28, my dad had came in early that morning so when i woke up me and my uncle… i think or my aunt went over to check out my house. My dad was already there unloading. so all of sunday we unloaded the truck. it was very.. busy work lol my grandma and my uncle and cousin from mn came down to to help out. today we also went to target and got my new bedding set. its white and black and the trim is blue. its very pretty. we also went out and got paint for my room. the color is green
its very pretty. ( i am still trying to get pictures up.. sorry)
Monday: March 29, we did a lot of work today. we moved boxes and un packed a little bit. my aunt vonda and my dad and me went to the school to check me in but then found out that i have to go to student services. So we went to student services and i got enrolled. but the school office was closed so i would have to go back another day. ( so no school for monday
) when we got back came and my aunt vonda worked on painting my room. but the orange color was peaking through so we figured we would have to do another coating. and that bascically what we did the rest of the day.
Tuesday: March 30, today we did more painting and un packing. we put the second coating on my room but u could still see th orange
so it was time for a third coat. we weren’t able to get to the school today either ( which means no school today either )
i also helped my dad out around the house which wasnt to bad.
Wednesday: March 31, today i did a third coat of painting on my room. finally it looked good!!! after the paint was mostly dry i made my bed and put it in the corner i wanted it. then i started going through boxes and putting some in my closet. We also stopped by the school. but the counselers were busy with setting kids up with schedules and what not so they said it was best if i come back tomorrow morning. ( so no school today
) but chealsea, my cousin and her bf, drew stopped by and picked me up and we went to the mall. There mall is very nice and we did some shopping and looking around, It was nice.
Thursday April 1, so today was nerve racking. i went to school. both me and my dad woke up at 6 and headed for school at 7. We talked to some person there and went over the handbooks. There were a lot of kids there that morning to and my dad had to leave for work so i was stuck by myself in the office for about 10 to 15 minutes. I finally got called to the counselers office and got my schedule. Then a student showed me around the school. Its very big. Bigger than apple valley. and very strict. For example if your trdy to class you are not aloud to come into the classroom. you go to the cafeteria and its called” hall sweep”. you miss class for that day. and cell phones are never to be used at all during the day. the first offense you get it taken away the rest of the day and can only pick it up on monday or thursday. and the second offense you have to pay $15. which i think is crazy. But anyway i started class thursday. i missed first hour but i made it to 2 nd. I only have 5 periods to. each class is an hour and 20 minutes. and i even have a class outside in a little building portable housing thing. i did meet some people though. i talked to quite a few actually. and my cousin chelsea and her bf drew have my lunch which is nice. The classes arent hard. I actually have already gone through some of the material. after school me and my dad went shopping to low s and picked up a couple things fro my room and the house. it was a busy night.but we did go to my cousin s and watch a movie which was nice and relaxing
Friday: april 2, today we went to sam’s club and went food shopping. we got a lot of food. it was insane but almost all of it looked yummy. afterward we went to walmart for some supplies and then went back home. i un packed some more boxes and set my room up a little bit more. im exhausted though from the busy week. the house is looking nice though and im very glad its the weekend !
i still need some things for my room though before i un pack everything. but once i get my liscence and a job i can slowly start to get my room together.
Hope you all are doing great! and i miss everyone!! love you! <3

On February 9 th, we took off on our trip to Flordia. We woke up i thin it was at 4 in the morning and headed to the airport. We had a connecting flight in Tennessee and then we flew to Miami, Flordia. When we finally got to the airport we waited for our luggage and then had to wait for the bus to come pick us up. We then got to the ship and waited in line to check in. Finally we walked through the doors to enter the ship. Right when i stepped onto that ship, i didnt feel like i was in one. It was so amazing! There were glass elevaters and stores everywhere and huge light fixtures. It was truly amazing. We found our room on the 2 floor. It was kind of cramped, but it was still nice. We dropped our stuff off and made our way up to the top deck to wait for the take off. it took a little longer then normal but when that horn did go off oh my goodness i think i went deaf!! it was so loud!! Once the boat started going we went down and explored the ship. (ill have pictures on here later of the cruise). We went down to the diner around six. Now there food there is amazing!i have never had food so amazing than what we had on the cruise. The first night i had a shrimp cocktail and turkey and a choclate brownie. it was all very delicious. after supper tanner and i went for a walk around the ship. whcih is very cool at night. when we came off the elevator there was this guy that came up to me asking if i knew where the teen room was and i wasnt sure so we walked together and talked until we found the tten room.
The second day we were suppose to go to coco cay but we were unable to because of the waves. so we headed on to nassua. when we ended up in nassau we spent a day in a half there. it was quite lovely. we ended up exploring a lot of the town. We went through a lot of the shops and bought a lot of items and we even went through a pirate museum which was actually very neat!
The 3 rd day we went snorlking with the sting rangs. now that was an expirience! we feed them squid and they would like climb up your legs. it was so weird. i had to get out after awhile cuz it was to creepy for me. instead i went tanning on the beach
whats cool was that we were at the same island as the sandals beach. so that was cool. that same day we had to bored the ship and head back home. That night was fun. i stayed out till late with my friend and there was a lot going 0n with the crew like dancing and pool parties.
The cruise was the most fun i have had in awhile and every one got a nice tan or burn in my case
lol i cant wait to go on another cruise . hope you liked reading about the fun times on my cruise.
