Back from Indiana....what a great trip. I love my family, no matter how crazy they are. Abby and I have decided that the theme song for our clan is "Welcome to the Jungle". It is definitely more than fitting. :)
So much is going on in my family. I wish I could just take them to my church and let them hear our pastor. I feel like it would help them so much. It's so difficult watching them go through everything they go through without that support from a church family. I don't think I would be able to handle it without the spiritual support that I have. I tried my best to be a light to them while I was there. They aren't terrible people at all, by any means of measure. I just wish they could understand why we go to church and don't curse, etc, etc. One day they will know. Until then, nothing will change my feelings for them. I love them dearly--so so so so very much. I will follow their orders and I will go to school and make them proud. :)
I'm adding yet another great book to my list of summer reads--'Tis by Frank McCourt. I had to read his first novel, 'Angela's Ashes', for my AP English class and absolutely loved it. He's so straightforward and simplistic, yet so compelling and inspiring. It's a shame that he recently passed away. He was definitely on my list of people I would love to meet and talk to. His books make me want to:
1)Run towards my dreams with every ounce of strength I possess
2)Appreciate everything I have--I am SO spoiled.
3)Visit Ireland and try to find my roots
4)Study abroad in Ireland and scoop up a nice Irishman to marry...haha
