Hey everyone this is my first time doing a blog. I am keeping this blog for my English class and I'm still trying to figure everything out. For my fist blog I figured I would tell you a little about myself. I am from Highland, California and although the summers can get a little too hot and the traffic can get bad, some would even say unbearable, I have learned to love it here. It's only an hour away from the beach and the mountains, which may seem like a long drive to others but for me its not. I love car rides, especially with friends. Driving with the windows down and the music turned way up, singing and laughing all the way, makes our drives seem very short. So for me a hour away is the perfect distance. Some would also say that there is nothing to do in my city and at times this is true but when I'm with my friends we can always mange to find something fun to do, even if we stay home. Whether its swimming in my backyard, going to the movies, going bowling, or just hanging out we always have a good time. I live with my dad, mom, and little brother, Aaron. He is fourteen and we definitely do our share of fighting but in the end I love him. I have an amazing family that means the world to me and I wouldn't be who I am today if it weren't for them. I have a chihuahua named Pumba who is the most spoiled dog you'll ever meet but I love him anyways. I love playing soccer and I have played sense I was four. Currently I am not playing though but I am the assistant coach for a girls U12 team and I love every minute of it. I used to play softball as well. I started playing that when I was seven but I stopped my junior year of high school. Some other things I love are scarpbooking, going camping, taking pictures, going to the beach, riding horses although I never get to anymore, and hanging out with my friends. So that's a little bit about me.
