Hey all,
Jackie again with another update. All posts from now on I am going to try and keep short and to the point since we have been very busy the past couple months and the holidays are coming up. But the blog will always remain a priority to our family, or at least me :). This post is full of pictures....because pictures are worth 1,000 words.
Past:
July: -Trip to Yosemite (7th-12th): This year we had the oppurtunity to add a page dedicated to our dad in the Book of Memories at the Yosemite chapel. Our whole group signed the book. We also went back to the secret place near our rafting spot and found our Dad's memorial rock.....still there, looks perfect. We decorated it again.
-My 14th birthday (10th)
We made a trip back to Pittsburgh to visit Grandma JoJo and our whole family on Dads side (28th-31st). We celebrated JoJo's birthday and had a really fun time.

Present and Future:
- We are all really enjoying school and very busy with afterschool activities as well as school work
- Mom is acually starting to workout again. She goes to run and swim at the gym at least twice a week, or that is what she is telling us :)
- Emily is now the tallest in the family, she has passed up both mom and I
- Both Emily and I are keeping our grades up, which are now our top priority
- We are working on plans for the 2nd anniversary of Dad's passing, which lands exactly on Thanksgiving, November 25th, this year. We are hoping to possibly go down the LA to visit family and see the ND vs. USC game.
- Hope everyone reading this had an amazing summer and has a good start to the school year. Hope to see everyone soon and I will update ASAP. ;) - Jackie
