Dear Diary,

Hey there, my name is Joy Susan Jones, and today I turned 14-years-old. One of my presents from Mum and Dad was you, dear diary, and I am going to treasure you for a lifetime.

Well, where do I start? I could start with my family, my friends, my school, or my parents work, but I think I'll start with my family.

My parents are Susan (Susie) Rose Raynor-Jones, who is 45-years-old, and Evan ("Jonesy") Caleb Jones, who is 46-years-old. They were married on 7th September 2006. A month later they fell pregnant and nine months after that I came into the world!!!

As well as me, I have three younger sisters and two younger brothers. Emily is 13, and also my best friend. Next there is Felix, who is 10. Brendan is 8, and finally, there is Lillie-May and Millie-Louise, the babies of the family, my identical twin sisters, who are 5.

We all live in a lovely two-storey house in Mt. Thomas, which is located in Victoria, Australia. All of us children attend school and Mum and Dad are police officers, a very exciting yet dangerous career that they have been in for about twenty years now. They both work at the Mt. Thomas Police Station. Mum is one of the sergeants, and Dad is one of the detectives (or CI members) there. While I am on the topic, I may as well tell you about the rest of the crew at Mt. Thomas Police!

The Inspector is Tom Croydon. Tom is known as Boss at the station – he is a lovely and affectionate man and he is almost like another grandfather to us. He has been at the same station since 1985, which is a long, long time ago – 35 years ago to be exact! He has two daughters, Susan and Anna, and he also has six grandchildren; Sam, Daisy, Abigail and Jotham are Anna's children, and Georgia and Lena are Susan's children.

Then there is the Senior Sergeant, who is Alex Kirby, (who is married to fellow CI member Amy Fox-Kirby). They have two children, Skye and Peter.
The Sergeants are, as I said earlier, my Mum, and another man named Matt Graham (who is married to fellow member Kelly O'Rourke-Graham). They have four children; Kirralee, then triplets – Bethany, Patrick and Christopher.

There are also two Senior Constables, Kelly O'Rourke-Graham and Joss Peroni (and because I've told everyone's else's love-life, well no, Joss isn't engaged or married to anyone in the station, but he has got a long-time girlfriend, and I personally think he's going to propose sooner or later, as I caught him looking at ring catalogues not long ago!) We can't forget the Constables, Violet Ainsley and Harrison James (who are engaged and planning to get married in October!). And of course, in CI, there is my Dad, as well as Amy Fox-Kirby and Daniel Gordon (who is married to a lovely lady and they are both expecting their first child very soon!)

Now I'll tell you about my friends! My friends are Emily (sisters forever!), as well as Kirralee, Matt and Kelly's oldest, who is only a couple of months younger than me. I am also good friends with Jotham, Georgia, Lena and Skye, but so far I've only listed copper-related friends! At school, I also have for my friends Renée Lake, Katie-Lynne Border, Finn Fitzgerald and Matthew Winters.

Now, about school! Well, I attend Crown Gate College, which is a private secondary school for girls and boys, which is located in the neighbouring town of St. David's. You'd think that because I live in Mt. Thomas, I'd attend Mt. Thomas High School, right? Well, I went to MTHS for my first term of year 7 (I am in year 8 now) and I thoroughly did not enjoy it. So, I took the plunge and started at CGC, which I love! All my friends go there, and we all agree (except the one or two who have never been to MTHS) that CGC is way better! All my other siblings attend Mt. Thomas Primary School.

Wow, I can't believe how much I have already written, but I think I'll finish today with saying just a bit about my birthday and the party I had this afternoon.

It started at 2pm and we just had a BBQ out in our backyard. All my friends came and we had a great time! For my presents, I got…

from Mum and Dad I got you, dear diary, as well as a couple of DVD movies, and a new handbag

from Emily, a dolphin wind-chime

from Kirralee, a light green and blue t-shirt she had especially gotten screen-printed saying "A Piece of JOY!"

from Jotham, Matthew and Finn, five movie vouchers to borrow five weekly movies from the video store for free 

Georgia and Lena gave me these awesome new shoes which I am wearing right now!

And Skye, Renée and Katie-Lynne bought me a "How to take awesome Photography" book (as I am a bit of a photography buff…)

Kirralee is staying over tonight, and just as I guessed, she is finally out of the shower and wants me to come out of my room! More tomorrow!
