Seriously This Time?: Short Update

Image
By Edyn J.
So... Lots of exciting things are happening in my life at the moment. I'm really going to try and continue to blog, even if it is about nothing in particular.
I'll try and go in order here:

  • I am in month two of an 18-month orthodontic treatment. You may have heard of it? It's called braces. UUUUGGGHHH. It's not that bad. I knew that there was gong to be a list of things I couldn't have but I didn't realize how long. That part stinks. Then there's also the pain. Which isn't bad at all. Usually it's after they've tightened/readjusted something.
  • About a month or two ago, we went to our local (if a 2 hour drive is considered local 😂) Cackle Hatchery and bot dozens of chickens. No, that is not an exaggeration. And two ducks. Our little A Gra Mo Chroi farm is growing!
  • I have started a YouTube channel. It is called Return to Edyn. So far, I have all but one video posted but I have a looong queue. And one in editing. :) Go check it out here. There will be tutorials, DIYs, silly challenges, vlogs and various other things.
  • I got my HAIR CUT!! What?! Yes, it's true. The reason his was kind of a big deal is because it was, from root to tip, about 20 inches long. Almost long enough for me to donate twice (it would have been shorter than I wanted). So, 7 inches are going to Locks of Love. 






(Vlog for that coming soon!)

I suppose that's it. Short update. I shall be trying to post more often now that we have WIFI. Considering my last posts, one may ask, "Seriously this time?" Answer: Seriously this time.

The Wonderful Eye

By Edyn J.
See this optic nerve is thick as a rope but my right one looks like  a string! I was born with my right eye blind. So I can only see out of my left eye. And now I can see a little bit out of my right eye. So I am going to tell you guys the story about My Wonderful Eye.   Mom told me that when I was 2 years old  we went to the doctor and they said I have what's called a lazy eye. So they told my dad to  patch my good eye!  It was like turning the lights out, so I feel asleep alot. So then my dad  didn't do it more than a couple times.   Then  when I was 4, my mom took me to the eye doctor again and they took pictures of my  optic nerve and discovered the one on the right was almost nothing. That's when they  knew that I have Optic Nerve Hypoplasia, where the nerve that connects the eye to the brain doesn't develop. I don't know what happened next so my mom is going to fill in some gaps: When I took Edyn to th...

Going to North Carolina

By Edyn J.
Me at Cape Fear Museum  Fireworks on the beach (Ella's first firework show!) Getting ready to leave, mom got a good photo of the ocean wave  On July 1st- 5th my family and I went on vacation to Wilmington, North Carolina to go to the beach. We left Sunday, July 1, 2012. It was an 18-20 HOUR drive it was suuuuuper long. And the funny part was my dad wouldn't let my mom drive until the ride home :p. So my dad was the only one that drove to Wilmington. And we stopped at a lot of gas station's, we had a lot of snacks and for dinner that night we went to Arby's. That was delicious. We also slept a whole lot! That part was fun cause we basically got to sleep whenever we were tired.   When we got to our destination it was only 9 a.m., but felt later There are 8 beaches in North Carolina, Our first stop was Wrightsville Beach. Intermediately I started grabbing every shell on the beach. I was so excited and plus it was my first time to be on ...

"She Laughs Without Fear of the Future"

By Edyn J.
"God has placed the best things in life on the other side of fear." (Will Smith) Man. What a summer. This summer I got to go on my first mission trip. And I just want to share a little testimony about my experience. I am a very shy person. Very. Shy. I tend to be the one, kind of sitting off to the side, avoiding conversation and...socialness. (Hello, social anxiety.) I don't like being outside of my comfort zone. I love my comfort zone; it's comfortable. That being said...I certainly did not want to go on this trip. It was wayyyy out of my comfort zone. Now, my youth leader has been wanting me to go for the past two years and I knew she was super excited because this year I was finally eligible. "You are going." She would tell me everytime it was brought up. We started having our meetings on Wednesday nights. I was at every one, (Well, except for one but I didn't have a choice.) Three weeks until we leave we started having meetings on Sunday a...
