It's Been a While…

Hey! It's been quite a while since my last post…I know, I know, I need to get better about posting! I think about it all the time, I just never get a chance to do it! So sorry!!!

Summer has been really busy! Every week, it's something else…last week it was cheer camp (Yup! I'm gonna be a high school cheerleader! I can't wait! I'll post more about camp later ☺), the week before was Schoenstatt camp (I'll post all about it), the weekend before that I was out of town, and so on and so on! The busyness never seems to end! 

Anyways, I just wanted to say hi, and reassure you that I haven't fallen off of the face of the earth! ☺☺☺


Thanks for still reading my blog, even though I haven't posted in like forever! Y'all are awesome!!!

Lots of ❤,
Madi

My Amazing Mommy

So, I'm sure you all are wondering what's been going on with my mom! To start, please read my mom's  beautiful blog post:

(My Mommy's Blog)

My mommy is the bravest, most selfless, beautiful, holy, and truly amazing person that I know! I don't know what I would do without her! She is my best friend! 


(Me and my mommy… we had a super fun girls' weekend last fall when we took this pic together! Isn't my mom so beautiful? I wanna look and be just like her!)

I love you mommy! Thanks for being the best mom ever!!! I love you!

A Summary of the Past Few Weeks

As you all know, I've been REALLY bad at blogging for the past few weeks! I feel terrible! Hopefully some of you have been checking out my wordpress blog, because I update that more often with little bits of info on what I'm up to! If you haven't, here is the link:

http://typicalcatholicteenager.wordpress.com

Also, to explain why on earth I made a second blog, if I can't even keep up the first, check out one (or both) of these two posts:



Anyways, here's a summary of the past few weeks:

Welcome Baby Isaac!!!

My new baby brother, Isaac was born! He was born on March 29, at 7:06 am, and was 6 pounds and 4 ounces! He's such an adorable and sweet little man! 


He's such a handsome little man!!! 

April Fools Day!

On April Fools Day, me and my friends Claire and Roni (Veronica) made "brownies" for our teacher (at our once a week co-op)! We took brown construction paper and cut it into a bunch of letter "E's." Then, we put them into a pan and wrapped a ribbon around it! So basically, we made pre-cut (haha) "brown E's!!!" 


hahahahahahahahaha!!!!

Holy Week!

I had a very blessed Holy Week! I spent extra time praying and I also went to mass a few times! It was a great ending to Lent! I hope you all had a good and blessed Holy Week as well!


I also had to share this because I thought it was really cool:


Dear Jesus, thank you for suffering so much pain and dying to save us!!!

Easter Sunday!

Hoppy Easter!!! I hope you all had an egg-celent Easter! What an awesome day it is! Jesus is Risen!!! Yay! 




On Easter morning, the Nicholas, Savannah, and I got up and did our Easter tradition, which is looking for your Easter basket (they're always hidden), going through it, hunting easter eggs, and opening/emptying them out! Afterwards, we quickly got dressed and ready for 11:00 am Mass!!! We had a great time!!! We also dyed and decorated eggs the night before!!!

Easter Sunday was also a REALLY good day because I was finally able to listen to music and play games on my phone…….the two things that I gave up for Lent, which made me wonder whether or not I would survive until Easter!!! I know…..I sound like a baby….but 40 days is a lot of time to not be able to listen to music!!!! You have no idea how much music I listened to on Sunday….every chance I had, I put my ear buds in and listened to my awesome tunes!!!

Anyways, I had awesome Easter! I hope you did too!

Here are some pictures!!!



Me, decorating my eggs.



I painted some of them with my favorite color…..GLITTER!!!!


Gifts from Mom and Dad….cuz what says Easter more than a unicycle?!?!


All of us with our Easter baskets!!! 


Little Mr. Isaac…..he looks so adorable in his Easter basket!!!


Nick and Savannah, looking for eggs!


Me, who by the way looks awful because I had just woken up… :), on top of the rock waterfall in our pool….that bunny sure knows how to hide eggs;)

What a blessed Easter we had! Thank you, Lord, for rising from the dead!

Wordpress Updates!

Hey! As you all know, I haven't been updating my blog as much as I should....... *blush.* Because of this, I've decided to make a wordpress blog! Yeah....I know what you're thinking.....you probably think I'm crazy and dunno why I'm gonna make a second blog, if I can't even keep up with the first, so let me explain: When I compared blogger and wordpress, blogger seemed to be set up for longer, more drawn out posts, while wordpress seemed more like a quick update kinda thing. I know this sounds silly, but from now on, my blogger blog will be for longer posts, while my wordpress blog will be for those quick updates about my life, like what I'm up to at that moment.....those silly little things that aren't exactly "blogpost worthy." I hope this will work! I feel like I'm letting my readers down by not posting enough! I really want to be better about it, and I'm working on it, but very time I say I'm gonna be better, I fail!!! I hope this doesn't disappoint anyone!!!


Here is the link to my wordpress blog:

 thanks for reading :)

(IMPORTANT NOTE! Don't forget, I will still be using THIS blog, but also the other one!!! I will update this blog as often as possible, but the other blog might be updated more often! Please keep on checking for updates on BOTH!!! I will try to let you know when I post something on this blog, by posting a link on the other blog to let you know! sorry this is SOOOOO confusing!!!)

I Love My Readers/Followers!

Today, I was just checking the "stats" on my blog, and just happened to look at the audience from around the world for my blog.......and I was awe-struck at the number of people that had ever viewed  it, and lots of them weren't even from the United States! 174 people from Russia, 119 from Malaysia, 80 from Germany, 24 from the United Kingdom, 20 from France, 9 from Australia, Canada, China, and Ukraine, and not to mention, 1,756 people from the US!!! I was very happy to know that so many people (2,209 total) had actually viewed my blog! I was honored! I just want all of you who are reading this to know how thankful I am for you! I love you all! Thank you so much for even taking time out of you busy lives to look at my blog! I truly do appreciate my followers (private followers, too!) and my readers! 

Sometimes, I feel like giving up on this blog. I get frustrated, and I just don't feel inspired. I keep saying, "I can do it later..." or "Naaaaa not right now" and stuff like that. I just can't stop putting it off. Seeing this today made me feel so much better, and knowing that not only people from my country, but lots and lots of other people from all around the world read my blog, helped me to have that desire to never give up, which is something that I desperately needed.

So to thank you, I would like to dedicate this post just to you!










Like I said before....thank you! I love you guys! You are what keeps me going when I feel like giving up. From now on I will try to be better about posting things.......at least until I need to reassure myself like this again......☺
