Start of school...8th grade!

I have started the 8th grade at Sinagua Middle school. I'm in the second full week of school at the moment and so far is going great!

I like all my teachers for the most part. But I hope to switch out of yearbook soon. I think the teacher is out to get me.. :P 

On the up side, I'm in my school choir! Its great! I love it! Combined my love for music and my love for singing, I think that makes my a pretty good student if I might say so myself. !

Friendsss!!
So its now just my best friend Arynn and I. We don't really hang out with many other people at all....
I think we do this to stay out of all the drama that goes around at school.
Our parents seem to think its good. We agree. So it all works out great!
Arynn and I always have the best times together!

Actually, since school has started, we have spent every weekend together..(:
This weekend I will be staying with her while my parents are out of town for there 3 year anniversary! How exciting! (:
This weekend Arynn and I are going to the county fair! That should be great fun! I'm really excited!


Hopefully as the year progresses school with me great! 

Well, that's all for now!

God Bless!   

Haiku Poems

I recently had an assignment in my English class about writing Haiku poems. We were told to find pictures in magazines that inspired us. I found a picture of a heart, a frog, a lightning storm, and two little girls on the beach. 

 So I would like to share them with you all. (:

   

 

Love is in the air

To say the words "I love you"

And have it be true

   

I'm lost in the world

Is there anyone out there

Someone please find me

    

Tears roll down faces

Goodbyes are exchanged so sad

Never be the same

  

I sit and eat flies

 Until my heart is content

 I'm free as can be

Revolve Tour

"Love, love is coming through your headphones"
-Britt Nicole
Now, we as teenage girls LOVE music, am I right? So this little part of a song called Headphones by Britt Nicole (my all time favorite) is basically saying that no matter what might me going on in your life that love is always there. But not just any love....God's love. And its not hard to find. You just have to believe. God's love is ALWAYS there you just have to except it. Maybe, you feel God's love while singing worship songs. Or dancing. Maybe even speaking. Or maybe even the slightest smile makes you feel God's love for you.
This weekend I got the opportunity to the Revolve Tour with my mom. She won two free tickets from the radio station called Radio Shine. But anyway that is another story for another time. So I go to this Revolve Tour. Can I describe this in just two words? Yes; Life Changing. It was just amazing! There was such great music and skits and speakers and wow! It was great! The theme of this was "Dream On". It was all about having big dreams and always going for it any making it happen. Because with God, nothing is impossible! No matter your condition weather you have a syndrome or anything like that, you just always should have dreams and try to make those dreams come true. I also learned that I need to be real. I need to be myself around my friends or just people I may see anywhere. Just be you. 
This was also a great opportunity for my mom and I do grow closer in our mother daughter relationship. Which is great....so mom if your reading this....I LOVE YOU!
So, what I'm getting at is that you should always be yourself and don't let what people think take your down, and to do what it takes to feel God's love for you.

Febuary 14 a.k.a Valentines Day

So as you all know, today was Valentines Day. In my opinion it was just another day. Most people think Valentines day is about getting your "valentine" roses or chocolates and expressing your love for them. But what if you don't have a "valentine"? Well, I have an answer for that. Like my step dad said, "You don't have to do something very sweet for your wife lets say. Why don't you show love to someone without a wife or a husband?" Don't get me wrong, of course doing something nice for your loved one would be just fine but why not show love to a single maybe less happy person? 

About two years ago today, a very unfortunate event in my life started reveling itself. It changed my families life for ever. But I God is in my life and he makes everything happen for a reason. I am now stronger because of what happened to me. And I know that everything will be OK. 

Today at school I saw almost everyone with their valentines day gift from there special someone. Did i get any gift from anyone? No. Do I really need anything from anyone? No. Dose it bother me that i didn't? No. I know that God loves me, and my family loves me and that is all that matters.

So what I'm getting at is that you don't need a "valentine" to feel loved. You don't need valentines day to feel loved either. You have God, and family. That's all you need. :)   <3

Introduction

My previous post was a poem I wrote for English last week. Its a "Where I'm From" poem. It tells basically my back ground. But here is some more about me:

• As you may already know my name is Karlee.
• I am 13 years old.
• My birthday is September 25 1997.
• I am a Christian and I accept God as my Lord and Savior.
• I am in 7th grade and I live in Flagstaff AZ.
• My mom is my #1 hero.

I'm pretty much your average teen. I have lots of girlfriends, I go through all the drama that every girl goes through. Yes, its hard. Yes, it hurts some times. And yes, we'll always get through it. I have had boyfriends before. Hasn't every girl? Recently I realized..."Why in the world am i worrying about boys at only 13?" They tend to put you through too much heart ache. As my mom said, "What is it you can't do just as friends. You can still hang out and talk...maybe eat lunch together. But why do you have to label each other as "boyfriend and girlfriend"? You don't need to worry about it." At first I was just thinking "Whatever mom. You don't get it." Now that I have thought about it and understand what she was trying to tell me, I totally get it! 

But anyways....there is a little about me! :)

Where Im From

I am from handmade quilts that lay on our beds,

From antique jewelry, and shelves

of family photos.

I am from a broken family, court rooms and tears. 

But also from smiles and laughter

with occasional fears.

I am from the large cactus my father fell into.

 Together we

pull the spins from his hands.

I am from slippery pool floors, and camera flashes,

from Grandmother and Granddaddy.

I am from shaky independence as the air plane lifted off the ground

to my sister far from home.

I am from yelling and love.

From treating others as I would be treated

and the sweet welcoming smell of home.

I am from holy water and scripture.

I am from horses and mountains. 

from hot dirt and the cold creek.

I am from those moments-

snapped before I budded-

leaf-fall from the family tree.
