I never would have dreamed this would be me

Before I was adopted, I probably never would have gotten to do half the things I have done. Some of the greatest things I have gotten to do was have a great big birthday party. Every summer my mom throws one big themed party for all of us. It takes immense planning, but it's something that the kids at school love. We also get to go to a private school. My whole life all I knew was public school. It was a very cool thing to transition into a private school. Things were so much smaller and mostly everyone got along. My birthparents never really ever held a drivers license for very long and in april I get my provisional license. Not many of my birth cousins drive yet and I am younger than the majority of them. Never would I have ever known what purity was, or having healthy relationships with guys. On my fifth christmas with the Ness's I got a purity ring. The ring is a real pearl. The reasoning my dad had behind it was once a oyster is opened and gives the pearl, it dies. There is no giving the pearl back. So my desire is to stay pure before marriage. I am very glad I have parents who teach me the right things to do and letting the Bible be their guide to teach me. I also learned how to dress modestly. There is nice ways to dress without showing tons of skin.

They have taught me to save money more than I spend it. That is incredibly hard for me because I love buying clothes, shoes, and purses. So I decided that everytime I got paid fifty percent went to the bank. My mom took me to the bank and I started a savings account two summers ago. This past weekend was one of the greatest times I have ever had. Our schol doesn't have formals or proms. So my friend decided for her eighteenth birthday party that she would have a masquerade. I ordered a dress from the U.K. but it didn't get here on time. My mom had a dress that was fancy enough for the occasion. This was a fun time to dress up very fancy for me. Once I got to the party we took a lot of pictures. Then we ate dinner and played games. It was some of the most fun I had in a long time. Once the party was over a limbo came and picked up all of us that were spending the night with my friend. My friends mom asked us if we wanted to go through a drive though in the limbo. We all said that would be really cool. We went to Dq and went to order. Well we couldn't decide so we told them one minute. Than the guy came back on and said " blizzards are starting at $100". So Jourdan proceeds to yell out the window saying  " I can't afford that", and we all errupted with laughter. The guy than says " please pull up to the window and we will take your order so we did. We get up there and the guy says " we are closed we just wanted to laugh at you". It was pretty funny. We had a great time that night and had lots of great laughs. On this blog I decided to take a break on the depressing stuff and add some of the great parts of my new journey and the wonderful/ crazy friends I have.
