Hello there!
How are my dear friends and family this cold evening?
I'm doing well.
Much has happened in my life lately,good things mind you.
First I must tell you about Christmas,it was amazing!
It was just our family this year,but fun all the same.
I got:
A Speedo bag-From Mom,and Dad.
Head Phones that look like Owls-From Jude.
A Mustache notebook.-From Jon.
Lip Gloss.-From Josh.
An adorable Necklace.- From Jeremiah.
A pair of Jeans.-From Mom,and Dad.
A pair of sweatpants.-From Mom,and Dad.
Eye Shadow,and other make up.-From Mom,and Dad.
And last but not least,Watkins Bows.-From Bethany.
But the best part is I was able to get everyone presents that they liked.
I love watching my siblings,and parents faces.
The pure joy,is enough of a Christmas present for me without a doubt.
I love it! The one day were everyone celebrates the two things I can't live without,Jesus and family.
The sad thing is no one seems to know that you can celebrate theses things on any plain,old day.
Not just December 25th.
My goal is to try and keep the "Christmas Spirit"all year.
Next is New Years.
On New Years Eve I went to Sam's house,with the plan if returning home after a few hours...
But as it turned out Sam called my parents,and convinced them to allow me to stay the night.
I made new friends too!
I got to meet Mitch and Aaron,as well as see a few old friends.(Robyn and Erin,they planned the dance with Sam and I.)
Mitch and Aaron are very nice,and funny.
They go to church with Sam,and are best friends.
They reminded me of a nearly identical(behavior wise.)boy versions of Sam,and Me.
So as I'm sure you guessed their awesome.(;
Next is this week.
On Friday Amy(Sam's Mother,and My second Mom.(; ) texted my mom,she wanted to know if
Jeremiah,Joshua,Bethany,and Myself wanted to go to the Zoo with the Washburn's.
Mom said we would,so we geared up to go.
Then the little boy Mom babysit's went home early,so Mom and the younger kids came along too!
It was very cold,snowy,and a ton of fun!
Afterwards Sam came to swim practice with Me.
Then surprised me with the wonderful news that she would be spending the night!
So needless to say I made a very girly squealing noise, and probably hugged Sam or something of that nature.We stayed up unreasonably late,and laughed so much I now have abs.
The next day I got up early and went to Jeremiah's basketball game...
His team lost,but he played very well.
Later that day he played at our Middle School,his team won!
Sam,Erin(Sam's sister.) and Amy came and watched.
Jeremiah fell and someone stepped on his head!!!!!!!!!
Today he had another game,his team won!
Sam,Erin and Amy came and watched again,and once again Jeremiah got hurt!
This time it was his knee,he skinned it,and it was bleeding.
Erin was convinced she is bad luck,but I reassured her I've never seen him play without getting knocked over,or bruised,or hurt in dome way.
He doesn't mind though he plays hard,so his team will win.
I've never seen him give less than 100%.
I'm very,very,very proud of him.
He's not only an amazing christian young man,but also one of my best friends in the whole world.
Oh gosh now I've gotten all mushy...
And here comes some very exciting news,best brace yourself!!!!
I GET TO GO SEE TWENTY ONE PILOTS PLAY!!!!!
Twenty One Pilots is my favorite band,as well as Sam's.
She told me about the concert on Wednesday night,I was animatedly "dying"to go.
So I talked to Dad about it,he said he'd think about it.
On Friday night,Sam and I played their music for him,and nervously sat waiting for an answer.
Not that we didn't have faith in our guys,their a Christian,so there wasn't anything bad in their songs.
The only worry was that he simply wouldn't like how they sound.
He said YES!!!!
I'll be going down (to Blowing Green Ohio)on Jan 31st with Sam and Amy.
Their also from Ohio,so it's a home town show.
We'll go to the concert that night,then spend the night there,and come back the next day.
I cannot wait!!!
Dad is also,being his awesome self,going to pay for my ticket.
My end of the deal is to be out of debt,I had to buy a phone from Pawpaw.
Jude threw my last one in a toilet...Sweet of him,right?Haha.
I will also try to earn the money for my part of the hotel room.
If I cannot Dad will pay for it,and I will pay him back.
But I'm going to try to earn it so I may show my appreciation for him letting me go.
It blessed me that he trusts me enough to allow me to go,I know that Amy will be there.
But I'm glad he feels I'm mature enough to do this,and trusts me enough to let me go to a concert and stay in a hotel;without him or Mom.
And once again I've become mushy.
Sorry about that.
Well it's late,and I'm very,very tired.
I'll write again soon.
Thank you for reading,Emily Cangelosi.
