So I just realized that I haven't updated in a long time. Christmas was great, and for once, at mass i understood everything that Father was saying. So that was great. I've been hanging with Nicole and Derek and Amanda a lot lately. It has been a lot of fun. I'm now addicted to my iPod..it is in my ear 24/7. Life has been good. This break is turning out to be a lot better than last year. I think that it is because, honestly, I've grown up a lot over the year and I am now able to connect to my sisters a lot more, which means more fun!!! well off for the day. katherine
