Let's Review

In trying to think of blog content, I was drawing a blank, this might have been because I have been very busy as of late or it might be because I am not super creative...oh well. During this process I was also moving, some of my friends came over to help me move, because I was totally lost in the organization process. When we moved on to my bedroom they found my journal, I have been keeping this journal since I was sixteen years old.
Me and my grandparents when I started keeping this journal.
For some reason, unlike most teenagers I did not want to keep my journal private. (Maybe I've secretly always wanted to start a blog...also maybe I just really like people to know my views on everything...) So aside from some embarrassingly immature views on some topics there are not that many super private or incriminating views in this journal. As they were reading through this I realized that I want my children to be able to read these stories, I also noticed that my journal was FALLING APART. At that will books still even be a thing when I have children and they are able to read? Probably not, so I decided to type and save all of these journal posts, and then I decided... I might as well put these on my blog! Two problems solved!  Also, names have been changed to protect identity.

Journal Entry #1
This book belongs to Rachel Elaine Gonzalez, who was born April --,19--  (Sorry all, that seems dangerous,) and is now 16 years of age. I was named after my wonderful great-grandmother, who I love beyond any shadow of doubt, and am blessed to share her name. I hope I give my children half as good a name. 
    This book was purchased by Sharon Gonzalez my wonderful aunt who is married to my uncle Jayden Gonzalez, my father's brother. My aunt and my uncle both love me very much and I love them and my cousins. 
   This book was purchased in Kinsdale, Ireland, the gourment capital of the world! 
Flying over Ireland
The book store that this book is from was called, "Booksto," it was very cute. I am having a good time in Ireland, except I am beginning to get homesick. I am here with my grandparents, my great-grandmother (that I'm named after) my great-uncle, and my great-aunt. I love everyone here, but we have almost been here a month and I am ready to sleep in my own bed. 
   But like I was saying before everything has been wonderful! Today Sharon, Jayden, Zane, and Evan were here and we woke up and raced to the house. I won, I ALWAYS win. Then we raced back to the house and Evan won. Then we had a planking contest and then a push-up contest, it was fun. Then we went to a breakfast diner and Aunt Sharon brought me a coffee it was very, very good. Then I checked all my emails. They were of course from Jackson and Charlotte. Then I got in the car and we zipped off to Kinsdale! We first went to a cute shop where I bought a very adorable winter hat and a postcard. 
The hat I wanted, but thankful Nana told me I
would never wear this. 
Then we looked around and that's where I saw this book!
A panorama of Fort Charles
After that, we went to eat and it was wonderful! I had chicken maryland, it was fried chicken with "bacon" on it and a fried pineapple! :) So, so good! From there we went to Ft. Charles, and it was pretty neat. 
A picture of me at Fort Charles that I have never seen before.
I'm holding the turquoise bag, and sporting very fashionable,
embroidered, jean culots , and a supergirl shirt that I wore
EVERY DAY. 
And from there we went to eat dinner at the pizza place by our house in Macroon. (Definitely not what I meant, but I have no idea what I meant) I used the WiFi to answer some emails and Sharon tried to download some movies to my computer but since we aren't in the US, Amazon wouldn't let us do it. Then I tried to download the John Legend song, "All of Me," but I couldn't find it anywhere for free, so I went ahead and bought it on an album, but I can't access it without WiFi. I am a little frustrated. I had a very good day. 






Thank you for bearing with me through that long and rambling entry, you won't believe it, but I edited it for clarity and length... As you can see I was a little bit extra as a sixteen year old, and quite dramatic. I think this trip down memory line will be fun.
