She of the Blue Hand Writeths...

My dearest friends, brethren, acquaintances, and whomever else happens to read this:

Greetings!

'Tis too true that I have failed to inform you of the goings on of my daily life :(. My deepest regrets are yours. But, I shall take these few moments to bring you somewhat up-to-date. Well, I am truly and officially a senior now. We resumed our schooling two weeks ago, and fortunately I have yet to run into any serious problems... aside from math. I tried to pick right back up where I left off before Christmas break, but, alas, it seems that all my knowledge fled my mind between then and now. Thankfully, though, this has given me the opportunity to make a much wanted and needed switch back to Saxon math (this is truly shocking! who would have thought that I would want to do Saxon ever again!). It arrives tomorrow... we shall see how long my thankfulness lasts :D.

Along with school, another big part of my life of late has been my involvement with iWalk. We are halfway done with it. It has been fun, but quite time-consuming, and also the reason I have a blue hand - I acquired it whilst painting a set for part 4 of the drama we've written and are preforming each week. So far, for iWalk, we've been to the zoo, Monkey Joe's (an indoor bouncy-inflatable-playground), and to the lake. This Monday, we'll be going skating... that ought to be entertaining.

Ah, last week I acquired a majorish milestone in my life! I sent off my first (and hopefully my only!) college application! *Excitement*

This weekend we shall be gone to my grandparents'. I'm unsure as to what we'll be doing, but perhaps I shall get some good "Kodiak moments" to share with you while we are there.

The following weekend marks Rebekah's 15th birthday party, an occasion I am most excited about! Where there's friends and cake, you can safely assume to find me!

My eyelids are turning heavy, and my hand wants to be rid of this Smurf blue, so I shall bid you all adieu!

*blows kisses*

I've got the Fever...

Summer Fever, and it's driving me mad. The end is in sight. The 29th is so near I can almost taste it. Yet, looking at everything that I've got to get accomplished before then, I begin to despair. *deep sigh* I just keep telling myself I'll get there, eventually

Anyways. I know I need to update but... I'm not sure what to write about. Uh... yesterday was Phillip's party. Holly got to come over the spend the night. It was fun. We got really hyper. And now I'm tired.

Oooooh. Now I know what can get me excited! Guess where we might be headed to for vacation... DC!!! I've always wanted to get to return there ever since I went in the 6th grade (was that really 5 years ago?). I'm soooooo excited, and I hope we can get everything worked out so we can go! I want to go back to Arlington, visit Lincoln again. I want to go inside the Washington monument this time, get to see the museum of natural history and the smithsonian, take tons of pictures, and bask in our rich history. You can keep your beaches and your mountains, your rollar coasters and your funnel cakes. But as for me, give me D.C., or give me... never mind; I'm going to bed.

Sarah's Party

Sarah had her (early) 12th birthday party this weekend. Our friends, Becka and Abby, came down for the two night bash. We had a lot of fun!! We watched (a bunch) of movies, ate (too much) junk food, took a ton of (crazy and random) pictures, and laughed (hysterically) until we felt sick. Here are some of my favorite (crazy and random) pictures from the weekend...

Becka and I... friends 4 ever!

You're never too old for Barbies! LOL!

Becka and I... we share a common "Bond"

STOP!



Proud Republicans!
