Wow, with all this christmas shopping and festivities beggining i begin to forget all about this blog. The past couple of weeks have been so much fun, that we've been having too much fun to even think about this. Haha, Amber and Ryan came down for thanksgiving week. It was so much fun to have the family together again. But before thanksgiving, the Tuesday was Dad's 49th, sorry 48th, birthday :D. We got him all sorts of stuff, but the highlight of his birthday probably had to be the NEW SUPER MARIO BROTHERS that we got him for the Wii. We stayed up late almost every night playing that game. The last night before amber and ryan left we played it till about 1 am. We had so much fun. We got to world 5 i think... the Wed. before thanksgiving we also had the chance to go to Mideval Times for me and dad's birthday dinner. (I turned 15 on the 18th). That was so much fun. You literrally had to eat with your hands and got to watch this show. They joust and they acted. My favorite food was most definetly the chicken. MMM!!!! it was so delicious!!! For thanksgiving itself, dad's old friend from high school (Mike lefver (??) ) and his family came over. Or as my dad called him Boo Boo and Skeeter got together again :D. We had alot of fun and the food was amazing! Saturday, amber and ryan left for home! We had so much fun spending time with them and getting to celebrate thanksgiving!
Last night, was my first basketball performance, and lets just say it was very tiring. The begginning was perfect, the middle was ok, but the end was horrible. We had to sit there before half time and get the end together the best we could. It was so nerve racking, because people were walking in front and behind and litterally right through our rehersal. Coach and captain told us to hit them if the got in our way, and that's exactly what we did. I was in the middle of doing an around your body spin thing and Mr. Wiestman walked by, he goes to our church so he knows me. He smiled and waved, so i smiled and tried waving while the flag was in my other hand, but it didn't work that well, i ended up dropping it. That practice was so tiring though. Then after half time i went and sat down and these girls behind us were all like "excuse us but we need our leg room so you shouldn't have sat there." i was in such a bad mood i turnded around and said "Loose the attitude i'm not in the mood. if you want leg room, don't come to these games cuz your not going to get it, look around." and i turned around feeling proud of myself. I felt kind of bad about that haha.
But ya, now that competition season is coming up, we have to get alot of practice in. And if we don't get it perfect, we have to do it again, over and over and over. And we have to review like there's no tomorrow. Our first competiton is in January. There's alot on our plates and we have to get this practice in. It's going to become harder, but we gotta get this done.
Anyway, hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving, and i'm going to promise to try and update more often!
