Work

So lately I've been trying to decide where to apply for a job. I'm definitely NOT interested in fast food. I have some friends that work at McDonald's and they absolutely hate it. So i don't know if i want to apply somewhere at the mall or the library. They both have pros and cons but they are still way better that fast food. But since my uncle has offered my a job doing random stuff for him i don't think I'll worry about it too much. I'm soooooo enthused that Courtney gets to come! And it's only going to cost $232 for a round trip airplane ticket! We already have half that much. But Donations are accepted, we'll take checks but cash is preferable.

Sierra Jensen and Sage

So lately i've been reading the Sierra Jensen Series. It's pretty good. It's about a teen girl and her life. I can really relate to what she is going through. I can't wait to get the next volume from the library!! i also wouldn't mind getting those books as a birthday or Christmas present (hint hint). My trip last weekend to Sage was really good. I got to know the girls and ladies from my church better. I also decided to rededicate my life to Christ. It's hard to follow Him! But so worth it. :)

School

Now i have to go back to doing school. blah. It was nice that i got a two week vacation off, when i was only supposed to get one. But the week after nationals all of us were just wiped out! I can't wait till the banquet! It's going to be soo much fun! Our basketball is going to make a slide show of pics from nationals for the banquet. It should be fun.

nationals

Nationals went pretty good. We got 4th in the 2A bracket, which is pretty good for our first time going. It was a lot of fun. There were 2 cabins and a lodge. The boys slept in one of the cabins and us girls divided between the other cabin and the lodge. Haley, Candace, and I slept in the cabin while the rest of the girls slept in the lodge. Cammy's mom stayed with us for one night, but had to move to the lodge because she wasn't feeling good and the lodge had a bathroom. So my mom stayed with us. We won our first game against the Victoria Cobras. They were really nice. Our second game was against team USA red and they beat us. We didn't have games on wednesday because that was when the showcase was held. It was the all american teams adn the 3 point and slam dunk contests. On Thursday we played the HSAA Dallas Blue Angels and they beat 42 to 45. It was close. On Friday we Played team USA red and we beat them. But that night Candace and Cammy had to leave so we were left with only 6 girls for the next game. And I didn't know if i could play or not. I got to play some but not much. Then during the game T.K rolled her ankle again and she had to sit out for the rest of the game. So for most of the game there were only 4 girls in. They did really well. But we still got beat bad. it was 59 to 11 and I was high point with 4. IT was a really fun week. i can't wait till next year!

Nationals today!

Well the fundraiser yesterday went ok. It was cold though so by the time we closed, we were numb. But we got $110 in donations alone! We'll know sometime after next week how much we earned. We leave today and i'm sooooo excited!! I hope that dale doesn't preach long because i'm going to have a hard time concentrating!! Please pray that nobody gets injured, that we all get along, and that we have a safe trip. thanks.

Kettle Corn

Tomrrow is the kettle corn fundraiser. I just hope it's not cold tomorrow otherwise we are going to be miserable!! And by the end of the day i'm probably going to be sick of kettle corn! Only 2 more days!! YAY!! I just wish it was here already! Yesterday the news guy came. it was pretty cool. Candace and T.K talked on camera, but we had to make them. It will come on Sunday night after we leave! So if somebody could tape it, that would be awesome! It will be on channel 4.

The Scrimmage

The Scrimmage was awesome!! We only lost to the guys by 3 baskets! and we would have beaten them, but we let them score a couple times. But then dad had us do 3 minutes drills against them and we tied them the first time (thanks to a half court shot by candace. it was awesome!!) and then the next time we beat them!!!! It was really cool. T.K got hurt though so we are praying that she will still be able to go to nationals. Tomorrow a news crew from channel 4 is supposed to come out and do a story on us so are all really nervous!!! Only 4 more days till we leave!! Please pray that no one else gets hurts.

Practice

Well it snowed but it didn't last long :( Today is the last time we will scrimmage the Varsity guys at practice. We are definitley going to make it hard for them to win this time!!! Even if they have beaten us pretty bad all the other times lol. We had a really good practice yesterday so hopefully todays's will be good too. We can't wait till SUNDAY!! We have a fundraiser this saturday at Market Street. It starts at 9 and we will be thre till 5. so if you want to deop by and by some kettle corn we'd love to see you!

Kids say the funniest things...

I love baby sitting. You never know what the kids will come up with next. I was showing the kids some pictures on my phone and one of Uncle Kevin came up. I asked Kaytie "do you know who that is?". She said " no" and i told it her it was uncle Kevin. She said" oh uncle Kevin, he cracks me up." I almost busted out laughing. It was hilarious.

Nationals

Well Nationals is only a week away!! I can't believe it, It seems like there should still be a month left. How time flies. We have 8 girls. We would have 9 but she couldn't go because of money problems, plus at our game last saturday she tore ligaments in her ankle so she has to be on crutches for at least 3 weeks. And another one of our players pulled a muscle so she had to sit out last saturday also. Then last Monday i pulled a muscle so i had to sit this week. It stinks!! But i should be able to practice on Monday. We are all praying that nobody else will get hurt.
