My Long-Needed Comeback!

Ah, fellow friend, must I apologize for not visiting you in, shall we say, a very, long, time? Oh, dear. Still, believe it or not, I will be able to get on more often now I am delighted to say! I admit I have not disclosed very much to you, Dear Reader, I admit I have not logged on in "a very, long time", I admit procrastination in my ways, (though not intentional)--BUT! Life itself is not lost, nor has my interest for blogging dimmed; I comfort myself in that (Was that semicolon a grammatical error? I am better at spelling than I am at grammar-can you tell?). There are a few things I would like to say here, but namely, please do not give up on me! Here follows my virtual journal subjects as follows:

First of all, though this is late (very late) I would like to warmly, sincerely, affectionately, and all other ways agreeable, congratulate the fabulous Suarezes on their new little person!!! They are all thrilled and I am so very happy for them! What a blessing!

Secondly, I would like to congratulate my wonderful parents, as on the Eleventh of July, 2007, their married life-of which I am a huge part :P-has officially become fifteen years! And twelve (well, almost thirteen in September, for that is my birthday) of those have been spent with their children (namely me). Is not that exciting? What a special time these two have had together! Growing in love, in their relationship with God, in the Christian life....I have to tell you, it's amazing to me they made it this far when so many families don't! Isn't that one of the saddest things in our corrupted world today? The growing number of divorced couples and families; God DID NOT design the world for this!

Thirdly, I would like to tell you all that we got a beautiful new kitten that we christened "Caspian" after "Prince Caspian" in the Choronicles of Narnia. He is only about nine weeks old and has got one of the most adorable little faces you ever saw! Pictures to come soon!

Well, Mommy says I need to wrap this up, and besides, I need to visit Paul Suarez's blog to see some pictures that I have not seen yet. I do have all sorts of wonderful entries in mind though! Thank you, once again, Dear Readers, for not giving up on me!

Love from Within,

~Mariel~

Ok, I admit it, I didn't read your blog. But it's about time you posted again! I'll go back and read it later. I think you'll forgive me anyway for not reading it because you've been nominated for something on my blog. :-)

Dear Hannah,
It has been a while since you have written to me. I hope I didn't scare you away with too much editing! I was wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Little Women's Gazette about your kitten? We would love to have a short article from you, 500 words or so. Oh, I do hope you'll be one of our regular writers.I have a deadline coming up next week, but I could squeeze you in if you write in a hurry - which somehow I think would not be a problem for you.

Let me know and warmest regards to you and your mother,
Mrs. Novak

Dear Mariel,

I'm so glad you're back! I'm sorry you have been sick. :( That's no fun!

Oh my goodness! I'd love to name my kitten Caspian!!! We got a kitten, too. Check out this entry to read about her (and my surgery!): http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Narniagirl/338115/

And here's a picture of her:

Happy Anniversary to your parents! And are you really almost 13?! Happy (early) birthday!

Yes indeed, congratulations to the Suarez's! Isn't that exciting?

Of course we haven't given up on you! Everyone gets busy once in a while!

Love,
Kylie

Oh, yes, what kind of cat is Caspian? Ours is a manx-tabby mix, but we just call her a mabby. ;)

Can't wait to see pictures!

Love,
Kylie

Oh, I am so thrilled. You are a talented writer and I am priveleged to know you. Our Little Woman's Gazette will appear in the girlhood for now and we are looking for contributions that are done in the language similar to that that Jo and her sisters used in Little Women. Read the Pickwick portfolio again in your copy and if you could fashion your article after that I would appreciate it. Take as many words as you like and if you would like to do some other pieces, too, that would be fine. I am trying to rap up this issue, but I am afraid I am running behind, but the sooner the better.

God bless you and have fun!

About Me

I am thirteen, going on fourteen, year-old girl; a Christian, given many blessings by God Almighty, who loves me and mine. I love to retire into the inner analyzing processes of my brain, and contemplate the conundrums of life. I love a hug and a kiss from my siblings and parents; an encouraging word when I am low; a genuine smile. I love deep, thought-provoking, meaningful conversations. I love the satisfaction which comes from home-made, freshly baked loaves of bread. I love delving into a world of wonder in a good book. I love learning about how America's system of government works and the results of it--in short, politics. I love the variety of science, applied science, and technology. I am literarily oriented, so I love to work with words and write poetry, stories, and blog entries. I love a jovial sense of humor. I love classical, country, and quality Christian music. I love to dance. I love to laugh, converse, encourage, and interact with friends, whisper secrets and discoveries to my sister at night when we should probably be asleep, and keep my things organized. I love--in a magnanimous way--the pursuit of knowledge. I love, hopefully most of all, being God's child and experiencing the awesome wonder of His grace.
