First Day

So this is my first post and I'm still wondering how I am going to organize this blog. I am starting this project to tell everyone out there what it is like to be a teenager making my way through High School in Alaska. I guess I'll start out by telling you how I ended up in the most exotic and beautiful place on the Earth. After High School my father decided to take a wild step into the great outdoors and move with his High School friend to Seward, Alaska. They moved in with a couple family memebers of my dads friend and became part of the volunteer fire department. Living in Seward, Alaska really changed my father. He became a new born Christian and decided to fully devote himself to Christ. My dad decided that his crazy days were over and moved back to my home state Colorado. My Mother and Father met and here I am today. I have one older sister, Kaeleigh, who is formally going to college in Virginnia. I also have a little brother, Michael, he is six and a little sister, Jessica, who is twelve. I lived in Ordway, Colorado for thirteen years out on a ranch. I loved that place from the scrachy weeds to the dust storms that swept across the prarie. After visitng Alaska my family decided we needed a change and we packed every single item we owned and traveled our way to our brand new home. Once we arrived in Seward, Alaska my family and I lived for two months in a camper till we found a house big enough for us to fit. I struggled for awhile trying to sort things out and keep myself happy moving to a new placae and going to a new school it all felt like things were falling to fast for me to catch the pieces and place them back in their original spot. That fall I started school and I learned that the things falling didn't have to be put back in their original spot, that change wasn't bad.

  1. Bri,
    You have the beginnings of a very good blog here. I enjoyed your first two posts. As an ex teacher of the Englishes, who doesn't always proof read her own posts, please allow me to point out that your and you're are often misused, even by adults who should know better. Stop for half a second to think whether you mean you are, or, your as in possessing something. And watch out for here and hear, another often confused usage.And there and their. End of English lesson!
    Your first two posts were very descriptive and well written, and I am loking forward to reading more.
