Homecoming Week, Game, and Dance!

I can't believe Homecoming is finally over! It seems I've been preparing for so long, and then it all happens so quickly.

Each day last week you got to dress up a little differently. It was pretty fun(:! Then we had our Homecoming Game against Klein Forest Friday night (Which we lost, by the way. Miserably), and then Homecoming on Saturday! Everything went great except that most the girls had put all their cameras, phones, money, and school ID's in Shelby's coach purse which got stolen! Apparently lots of peoples things got taken. They really should have a place to put all your junk, with staff guarding it.. :( I got lucky, and nothing of mine was stolen.

A Little Help

In case you're wondering where my Playlist went, I placed it at the bottom of my blog, since you might want to shut it off.

:)

First Dance !

I can finally say I've gone to a real dance. :) Last Friday Klein had a "Freshman Mixer." Well... it was supposed to be just for the freshman, but the freshman mixer last year got cancelled because of Ike. So they made it the "Freshman and Sophmore Mixer." But the seniors could come to help "get the party going." And the Juniors snuck in. So really it was the "Freshman and Sophmore and Junior AND Senior Dance." Sheesh. They should have just called it the "Everyone Just Come" Dance. :)


So I went home with Katie on Friday and we got ready together. She gave me great advice, let me borrow great jewelry, and (Possibly the most important great thing she did) calmed my nerves. :)

What a great night! :)

Ahh. Freshman at Last!

I have almost survived my very first week as a high schooler! Just one more day, and I'm home free. Funny. Every day feels like Friday to me (Or at least, like it should be Friday) But when the day actually comes, it's like it's Monday.

In case you're wondering, I did get lost the first day. Pretty darn lost too. It was to gym, of all things. But there's no signs, people led me in the wrong directions, and it's hidden behind a building you don't see too many people going to. But, luckily, after the tardy bell had long rang and everyone had left, I found some confused girls walking around, and it turned out they were lost for gym too! So, together, we found it. :)

Things went pretty slow after that. But now that we're actually starting to work, I'm liking it more. (Not the work, but just that things have picked up a bit) Choir has been a blast! It's definitely a challenge, since I haven't been involved since elementary school, but I'm up for it!

Well, before I sign off, there is something I found on Jen's blog that made me laugh out loud. And we all need a good laugh. It's good for the soul. (Since my copy and pasting isn't working, I'm only sharing my favorites)

Love is...

"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know your name is safe in their mouth." -Billy, Age 4

"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more... My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss." Emily, Age 8

"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, and then he wears it every day." Noelle, Age 7

"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken." Elaine, Age 5

"When you love someone, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you." Karen, Age 7

There were plenty of others, but these kinda stuck out to me. :)

8th Grade Retreat

Wasn't yesterday awesome! All the 8th Graders from church gathered at the student building and they drove us down to Madeline Pierce's home (A VERY beautiful home!) for some sun, fun, and a final goodbye to middle school.


Bus ride there. Haha, isn't Brandon photogenic? :)

Brandon modeling my new SUSIE glasses! ;)

Rachel and me(:


I believe that's someone knee boarding but it's a little hard to tell.

The day was a BLAST! I went tubing twice (And now has sore elbows, arms, and legs thank you very much) ;), swam, played volleyball, listened to some great lessons, and one of the best things was something I actually ended up doing by myself. I really wanted to try out water skiing, so right before we had worship and left, I went out on a boat and tried it out!!

(Keep in mind I used the pole, not the normal rope thing, so it was a little easier) The first time, I lasted about 3 seconds. The second time, about 5. The third time, 20! (Each time my skis came off, and that wasn't very fun. Neither was getting back to the pole.) ;) BUT... on my last turn, right before I was about to pass all my friends, I STOOD UP!!! And made it half way across the lake!!! I was so proud of myself for having the guts to do it. :) :) And now I'll have the privilege of saying I've water skied!
