HELLO! Alright, so yesterday morning, my mom went in for a c-section and Scott Richard Sheehan was born! He's 7 lbs. 14 oz. and he's rather cute! He's healthy and he's doing very well! My mom's doing well too! She's recovering quickly and soon she'll be able to come home!!

I was at my cousins' house since 7 in the morning yesterday. Today is my cousin, Travis's birthday. He's seventeen! GAH! He had all his friends over for a big party last night and it was so fun! We had fireworks and a bonfire and then we did all this crazy dancing and moshing in the basement with a blacklight and a strobe light! It was so crazy! There were like, 20 of us crammed into the basement, bashing into each other and it was so fun! And then when everyone had gone home at like, 11:30, we all crashed and slept in until around 9am! It was awesome.

SO! My weekend's been pretty crazy so far! Haha! It's great!

News

Well...Things have been pretty crazy lately.
This past weekend was the Salmon Arm Fall Fair, which was really fun! A girl from our church, Raquel, won the "People's Choice" award in the Shuswap Idol contest and a guy from the other church we went camping with was also in it. Next year, I'm hoping to be in it as well.
I rode on a ferris wheel for the first time ever (and yes, I screamed) and Darby and I ate a huge bag of cotton candy and we bought fudge and other yummy things. I entered my acrylic painting that my Dad helped me with into the fair but it didn't place. I also entered the collage I used for my album cover and it won FIRST PLACE!!! woot woot!! So I won $6. It will get mailed to me...
My mom was in the hospital with high blood pressure on Friday night. She's fine now but she's on bed rest until the baby's born.
I've started school and if all goes well, I'll be done math, socials and science by the end of November and have the rest of the year to focus on music and art.
So the bad news that's kind of shaken everyone up is that a guy from Bri's work and the ex-husband of Pastor Rueban's daughter, was in a car accident on Monday (I think) and was killed. No one else was involved in the accident but it's just pretty tragic. The funeral was today and Bri's entire plant shut down to go to it. I only met him once breifly but he was pretty nice. So yeah. I mean, there's a car accident out here every day but it's never happened to anyone we knew, so this is kinda crazy. I'm madly praying for their family, especially for his two kids (they go to our church and are really great kids).
So anyways, happy thoughts...I had guitar lessons today. Ryan's teaching me some pretty awesome stuff now. Lots of Nirvana, The Beatles and Kings Of Leon. Very cool.
I'll post pictures soon of fair stuff and whatnot.
SO! Have a good rest of the week and I'll post more soon!

Hey folks.
SO! Another year of homeschooling commences! I'm not doing grade 11 English this year because if I go to King's next year, I'll probably have to sit through it again, so I'm just going to work on grade 10 stuff this year. I'm starting school today and if all goes as I planned, I will finish each subject in under a month.
I started guitar lessons! It's great! It gives me new things to play and I play better when someone's teaching me how to do it. So that's awesome.
Anyways...I've got to go eat breakfast and start school-ness...
Have a good day!
