Hey Jacksonnn,
I tried to find you on Twitter, and for some reason, I can't. I typed in Jack_love and you didn't pop up... Hmm. Maybe I am doing something wrong. Actually, that is more likely than anything else! HaHa.

Hellooooo! So I dont know if any of you have seen this but i was looking on my myspace and thought some of you might enjoy this blog 2008 has been the craziest year of my life…..I've learned a lot. I've learned what truly is important to me and that is God, my family, and my friends. I could have never survived this year without those three things. I've learned who my true friends are. I've learned not everyone is what they seem to be. People change. Fame is not what it seems….its a curse and a blessing. I've made about a billion new friends. Who are all AMAZING. I've learned there is so much more than Rockwall, Texas out there. I've been on 11 planes…traveled in the car for road trips for a total of 92 hours (I actually counted it all up) haha…So here is a summary of my year. 1. January…Jason got picked for the top 24 on American idol. And everything was forever changed when the first episode aired. 2. February….Went to California for the first time that year. Got the flu while there. Spent Valentines day with the top 24 contestants. Some of which I would later become friends with. Was a VIP. Haha….you could imagine that was very exciting at the time. Had the time of my life with Mandy taking pictures with us pointing to David Archuleta's hotel room…ahaaa. 3. March…..several more trips to L.A. got a relapse of the flu….Spent Jason's birthday there at a Hollywood restaurant where the prices were outrageous. Experienced being completely stressed out. Got my first panic attack (many more to come) stressed some more….then had to go to school after another one of the best weeks of my life. Staying up for night trying to catch up. 4. April……More idol junk….more trips….more sleepless weeks….more stress….more panic attacks. This is where I learned life isn't always glamorous even if everyone around you thinks it is. Life is not perfect. People had no idea what really was going on. Stress…..ahg. 5. May…..Jason's elimination….best day of my life. Haha….not really. But that day I felt such a relief it is impossible to describe it. Everyone in my family was relieved…especially Jason. Jason got to come home for a week! First time in what seemed like ages! Jason Castro day at the harbor…chaos. But much fun. Then it was finale week! I know I say this a lot but it was the funnest week ever! That night was just amazing. Getting to walk on the American idol red carpet into a VIP party….a year ago I had watched the finale on TV and said to my parents that I wanted to be there next year….I had no idea. After the party we hopped in our limo to the next VIP party. Im still upset David Archuleta did not win….haha but one day I will get over that. Ohh ya and then school ended! 6. June….SUMMER! Relaxing time….which was much needed. Many amazing sleepovers with my best friends….staying up all the night long just talking. And being retarded. I miss summer. 7. July….July 1st was the very first idol concert! So me and the fam drove to Arizona for the most amazing week. Haha….relaxing by the pool in 110 degree weather….go carting with the idols…..and lots of pictures. The first concert was a whole new experience. It was amazing!!!!!!!!!! When you look up on the stage and your brother is singing for thousands of people all screaming for him…it's a pretty crazy feeling. Fun times…ohh and also I went backstage to a Taylor Swift concert and met her for the second time. And after that she put a picture of me and here in her room on her bus. I love her….oh yeah…and then we found out Michael could sing 8. August….NEW YORK! Again…funnest week of my life. Haha. This was my first time with a backstage pass. Mwahh ha. It was pretty cool. I've always wondered what was back there…turns out there is nothing! Its just blank walls…catering rooms…and dressing rooms. Haha….but its still fun! After this amazing week…it was school time. Most depressing day of my life. Seriously…I never wanted my amazing summer to end But luckily after 2 days of being in school I drove to Houston for a concert! It was tons of fun…we experienced a Mac photo booth for the first time…haha. All I have to say is….fat lady video. Ahaaa…..so more backstage pictures and then it was back home to Dallas…So on Sunday I arrived home at 4 am and then woke up at 6am. I was very tired but I couldn't sleep because that Monday night was the next idol concert it Dallas! That was a fun night but pretty pretty crazy….. 9. September….Last idol concert….this is where my American idol journey ended. It started in August of 2007. It had been over a year. It was so sad. I'm gonna miss them so much. This is where everyone goes out on there own and makes their career. September was pretty lame…haha. Sooo. Ohh ya and Jason got to come home! But only for a couple of weeks till it was off to California which would be his new home for a while. 10. October….Parties!!! Tons of them….first there was homecoming week. Which was fun….then Halloween party…..pumpkin carving with the fam's…mack and Mandy…love them…then trick of treating. Oh ya that was the day where I could have spent Halloween at a small party just hanging out with the Jonas brothers but since I was stupid and listened to Jason I went and spent the night with my friends. It was a very frustrating day. Oh and that was also the night of IM SCARED OF…apple bottom jeans! Hahaha…oh I love my friends. 11. November….Back to California. My love. Had tons of fun. Got to see mi bruddah and his amazing apartment on the beach!!! OMG….amazing. And I wished I never had to leave but was reminded that there was this stupid thing called school forcing me to go back 12. December…..went by much too fast. Its like you realize its actually getting around Christmas time and then it's already over. More concerts, more fun, and family time! Yaay. Oh and this is when my obsession with the twilight books started. I finished 3 of the 4 books in 6 days!! Whoop J haha..its addicting. Christmas is definitely the most wonderful time of the year. So you can say I never saw all this coming. It's still pretty hard to believe. I remember thinking a year ago before Jason tried out what It would be like if he made it and picturing what life would be like and now after everything is done its just….wow. I'm still the same but my life is not. I love every second of it. I'm very grateful that my true friends have stayed the same through it all and never treated me different. I can't even tell you how many times this year I got the question "So how is your brother doing?!" It's pretty frustrating at times but I have also learned to be patient! 2008 has changed my life in so many ways….but then again every year has. For everyone who spent this amazing year with me, I love you. So 2009….I cant wait! Love, Jack <3 Have a great week everyone! Oh and my current favorite song is Come on get higher by Matt Nathanson! And i also love cry by kelly clarkson...she is amazing!

Jackie, thanks so much for sharing your year with us. That was a beautifully written blog. I have a better understanding now of what last year was like for you all. It’s easy to see that you are a very smart, insightful, caring person who knows herself and what’s important – your family has got to be so proud of you. I’m old enough to be your grandmother, but I’m one of the many Jason fans who would like to be adopted by the Castros!

Wow, Jackie! What a year, huh!? You are really ahead of the game for your age and I am sure that everything you have learned during this process has made you an even better person! The part in your blog about people asking you "How is your brother doing?" made me think... the patience that you and your family must have is amazing. Your lives were literally taken and turned upside down, backwards, forwards, and then finally upside right again! I cannot imagine what that must be like. I am so happy for you to have been able to experience all that you did, traveling, attending VIP parties, meeting some of your favorite artists, and spending all of this time with your family and friends! Simply amazing! Anyways, I will let you go now, but I had to comment on that blog you brought over for us to read. You know, Jackie, we are expecting YOU to try out for Idol and live the journey all over again, but from the inside! Dan
