Catching up, and a little story.

Hey guys, sorry, been quite busy! Haven't had time to post, with Christmas coming up and all. We all cant wait until Christmas comes. Speaking of Christmas, what family traditions do you do for Christmas? Well, for my family, we NEVER do Christmas on the 25 of December. We always do it before, or after. I guess that's our tradition. :P Any who, since I haven't been posting in a while, I want to tell you guys a story! Its my story, of my life. To start it off, a year or two before I was born, my dad, Dave, was told that he had a very rare heart problem. They were unable to help him, and they said he needed to go to a specialist. So then lets fast forward 1-2 years. I was born on August  8th, 2001. By this time, my mom and dad had started searching for a Doctor that could help my dad, there was 3, the closest one was in Boston. They left me with my grandma and grandpa, while they went to Boston. Dad was diagnosed with a very rare heart problem there. And they said he would need a transplant. They came back, and on march 16th, 2005, came my brother. we Moved, to a different place in AR. (I'm not telling were we exactly lived or live for safety) and our dad started homeschooling us, sense he couldn't have a job, he was a stay at home dad, and mom was the nurse. Mom got her nursing degree in 2009, and mom and dad toyed at the idea that we could do travel nursing, and then in 2011, they didn't toy with it. In 2011 it became real, mom and dad told me and my brother that we were going to travel so we could see the USA and to get in a better place near Boston close to his doctor, and to find a place to really settle down. The first place we went to was Hershey PA were we met a home school group, and in that home school group, the always mentioned Foley family became our best friends.  We traveled, for 2 and 1/2 years. We lived in 7 different states, and 12 different places. And if you have already done the math, yes, we did live in one place for 8-13 weeks. Then we settled in Springfield MA. And got a dog, Blitzy. We had 1 Christmas there. Do you want to know why? The doctors in Boston decided that it would take too long to find a heart for dad, and we had to get to a different place to have the transplant. Mom and dad looked at the best places to go, and it ended up, Hershey PA was the best place to go for us. We moved in 2013 June, and after our movers botched us, in less than half an hour, we had 21 people at our house, unloading our moving truck, and 2 people up the street came down to help that we didn't even know! After we moved  and the dog got settled, and we all got settled, we had game nights like we never had before, we got to go see friends that we hadn't been able to in 2 years. We have been able to go to art classes, go do laser tag, and have friends over. Then, one morning, I woke up, and turned my computer on, and started writing a blog post about my life.
