EXCITED!!

I am totally freaking out because there is 2 days of school left, and in only 5 days I will be in Washington D.C. I am actually not that excited at the moment, but I think I will be standing on Main Street and it will suddenly hit me and I will say, "Oh my gosh! I am actually in New York!" It is going to be way fun and the best trip of my life, as of now. When I get back I will post my pictures and write what happened.


Did I mention that we get to see Phantom of the Opera at Broadway?
Well we are!!!!

















We will also be going to a Mets baseball game. ( If any of you are fans, please tell me and I will be sure to get you something.)

And my teacher is currently trying to get us on a White House tour. She's been off and on the phone with the Senator ,of something or somewhere, for the past few days.

I hope to travel a lot in the future and I made a list of all the places I want to go. (It is a pretty long list) New York and D.C. were both on that list, I am excited to cross them off and move to my next location.
WISH ME LUCK!!!!!

Noah's Concussion

So I've been in a slump lately, I haven't wanted to write anything or do anything. So I am going to catch up on a few things.

First, Noah's concussion:
It happened a few weeks ago but as I said, I have been very lazy lately. (Must be summer approaching)
So, all of the Hendrix boys were playing at our house one afternoon. Noah and Wyatt would both get on Crew's 4 wheeler and drive it around the backyard, and Crew would be chasing them around trying to catch them. While my mom dropped Madee off at softball practice, I had to watch all of the kids. I was just sitting of the couch when I heard Noah crying. It wasn't the death cry so I just thought the other kids were not playing nice. I waited to see if the conflict would be settled and hoped the situation wouldn't need me. But after a minute the crying got louder and it would not stop. I decided I better check what was going on. Noah was standing on the back porch crying, I went over to ask him what was wrong. He didn't answer only cried faintly. That is when I noticed dried blood all 0ver his hands. I hastily checked his hands to see if they had been cut, then I turned him around. The back of his head and the WHOLE back of his white shirt was covered in blood. I had never seen so much blood come from a person before. He told me he had fallen off of the 4 wheeler while Wyatt was driving. I had some skittles in my hand and asked Noah if he wanted one while I figured out what to do. He laughed and said yes. (He didn't seem too hurt because he had stopped crying and was acting like his normal self) Than I had to feed him the skittles because he didn't want to touch them with his blood covered hands. And he laughed because he got boogers on my hand in the process. Next, and grabbed Noah and ran over to Gina's house with Crew following behind. Once I handed him over to Gina, she washed the blood out of his hair so we could see how serious the cut was. The whole time in the bath he was acting like a wild man. Swimming and splashing. He seemed fine.
And all this happened while my mom was gone. Later that night Noah kept constantly throwing up, they took him the hospital. And sure enough Noah had a concussion. I couldn't believe it.
We can probably expect more in the future.

Blog Name

For all of you wondering what my blog name means, here you go. It means "Finding Happiness in Life." I know it is so cheesy but in Italian it sounds really pretty. And we are all trying to accomplish that....hopefully. I hope I am not the only one.

POLITICS

Lately I have been highly interested in the world of politics. And I've been researching the Conservative and Liberal views, trying to get a better idea of what I am. Because I don't want to be the person who doesn't know what they believe, only what their parents believe. I respect my parents' opinions but I would like to be my own independent person and show what I truly believe inside. After researching, I finally came to the conclusion that I am Conservative. There are a few issues that I remain more neutral on though, illegal immigration being a big one for me. Part of me is Liberal because I think its fair if someone comes to the U.S. in search of a better life, and to start over. And it is a very long and hard process to become a legal citizen of the U.S. But, the other part of is Conservative and agrees that Illegal Immigration is wrong. Here is a passage that a guy wrote as an example of Illegal Immigration.

Assume for a moment that the United States of America is like a homeowner who went for a long walk and left his garage door open. Inside the garage, he left his new car, his wallet, cell phone and a briefcase full of cash in it. Another man, destitute of money and down on his luck, walks by and notices the garage is open and unattended. He has a family to feed and has been unemployed for several months. He enters the garage and no one notices him. He finds the wallet, the cell phone and the briefcase in the car. He takes both the wallet and the briefcase and disappears into the city to enjoy what he took without permission. He tells himself that he only broke into the man's home because he needed to feed his family and because he was having financial difficulties. He didn't hurt anyone in the process and he rationalizes that the homeowner can always file a claim with his credit card companies. He won't miss his money and will recover just fine. When the homeowner returns from his long walk, he finds out that he's been robbed and files a report with the local police. In turn, the police say that there is nothing they can do since there are no witnesses. The police suggests that the homeowner locks up his garage door next time to prevent another illegal entry and theft.

Same sex marriage is also a tough one for me. I totally DO NOT agree with it but I say let people do what they want to do. God put us on this earth to choose what we want, and if they choose to be gay and go to hell, let them. Stopping people from getting married is not going to stop them from being gay. I just thing that there are things, we can fix, that are more important to worry about. Let me say it one more time, I DO NOT agree with same sex marriage.
Those are just a few of my opinions on this crazy, messed-up world.
