Black Friday Shopping

My mom and I always get up at 3 a.m. to go shopping on Black Friday, but this year the sales just weren't worth it! We still went, but I didn't have any money from lack of babysitting, and the sales were not significant. I don't know if any one else noticed or not, but I was pretty peeved. I did manage to get some dvds for $4 though so i was happy about that. On Black Friday, my mom and I drove up to Phoenix to see my moms cousin Michael and his wife Amy, and their little one year old son Caleb. I have some photos, but its to late to upload them. It was a great trip!

What Beach I went to

Excuse me for my lapse in judgment, I was in San Diego and I went to Imperial Beach, Mission Beach, and one other historical place that you couldn't swim or anything just view it and take photographs. Here are some more pics.

The Beach

This past weekend I saw the beach for the first time! (I had been once before but that was when i was six months old so it doesn't count.) Anyways, I went w/ my dad....and it was so much fun!! It was pretty cloudy, and really cold so we couldn't swim, but I still got some great photos and it was a good experience anyways. These photos are just a handfull of the hundreds that I got while I was there.

Nathan

My brother Nathan is home right now from the Navy!! He came as a surprise..at least to my mom and I. Apparently everyone around us knew that he was coming, but he wanted to keep it a surprise for us. He had even been in town for a few days visiting with my dad.
I am the kind of person that hates surprises no matter how good they are. I always want to know in advance. Christmas presents, I totally peek. So my mom was away on an errand, and Jeremy went off some where- he came home but I didn't come out of my room. He told me to, but I'm like um ok.....? So I walk out and the first thing I see is Nathan standing right there looking very nice in his uniform. I screamed and like jumped on him. I have really missed him. It's so amazing to have him home, even if it's just for one more day. We have done a lot of fun things, and it will be sad to see him go again.

Friends

I love my friends, and at times I really miss talking to long distance ones, like say people who live in Sahuarita. What really gets to me, is when they seem to think that just cause something good happened, they can wake you up really early on a Saturday morning to give you the news. I DON'T THINK SO!! Now Meg's, you know that I love you but come on I need my beauty sleep!!

Nothing New

Not really anything new, but I'm trying to get into the habit of blogging frequently. Tomorrow we have no school in remembrance of Veterans, which is pretty exciting!! Tonight, my whole family is going bowling. that will be a lot of fun. I also had practice today but I didn't do that great : (

Made it!

I finally made the bowling team!! YAH!! Wednesday will be my first meet. : )

Sorry

Sorry I haven't blogged lately, life has been really crazy. Today was a meet for bowling, I still didn't get to play. If I do good for the next week then I will get a chance to be on the team for good.....Lord willing. The coach also said that I would get to bowl in the next match (today) if I bowled two consecutive good practices, and I did that. Of well...... that's life. Other then that all I have been doing is school work. I hate having all my big projects at once! I have a huge assignment for biology, worth two test grades, AND I have a huge assignment in English. I have to write an entire "forgotten" section of the Odyssey!!
This is a photo of Lauren right after she was bowling. I love the hair, lol!! Shes gonna be so happy that I put this photo on here ;-)

Bowling Well

As you know, I didn't make the bowling team, I am just an alternate. On Thursday's practice I bowled one of the best games of my life. I got a 166, 90, 101, and 121. A good friend named mike said to the gosh, "Dang, and she is just an alternate?!" The coach, Mr. McBride said to him that if I have two consistent practice's then he will let me bowl at a meet. That means that if I do really good bowling tomorrow then I will have a chance at bowling on Wednesday! I hope that this happens!!!

Halloween

My Halloween experience was so amazing!! We went to a church fall festival for two hours. There were jumping castles, music, LOTS of food, and "trunk-or-treat." That was a lot of fun. And then after that was over my mom, little bro and i went trick-or-treating in a neighborhood called winter haven.

I dressed up in a formal dress, boa, and a gold sequined mask, and my little bro was a pirate. He was really embarrassing at the festival. He would come up to me and my friends and be like, "give me your gold!" Totally not cute, for those of you who will say that is.

While trick or treating in winter haven, one man asked what I was. I said oh just a masquerade kind of thing, and he said "just a teenager scamming for candy." That really ticked me off, because you never know peoples stories. It was my first Halloween!! I still had a great time so that all that mattered.
