High Impact

I am so excited! This weekend, on Sunday, I have my first volleyball practice. A couple weeks ago I tried out for a select team called High Impact and I made it! I think my first practice is going to be so fun! I think this because one of my really good friends, Maggie, made the team too! Now we are finally on a volleyball team together. We have been waiting a long time to be together. To make sure we both made the team, every time that I spent the night at her house or she stayed at mine we would play volleyball and practice. We would practice even more if we were just alone too! I guess all that practice payed off! We will get to play together with our team all the way until the beginning of April! I can't wait!

Thanksgiving Gone Wrong

For my first Thanksgiving as host, I bought the biggest turkey in the store. I was so excited to finally be the host this year! It is really stressful though because I had to buy a turkey and make sure I have enough room for everyone to be able to have a seat. I put the turkey in the oven, and started to set the tables as I waited. After the tables were all set, the turkey still wasn't done, so I decided to decorate even more! When the turkey was almost done, the family started to arrive one by one. Once everyone got there, the turkey still didn't look done so I started to visit with everyone. I completely lost track of time and forgot about the turkey. Soon the kitchen started to get very smokey! My turkey was burning! Luckily it didn't cause a fire. We ended up having to have something else for dinner. And that's why we all ate hamburgers.

Big Day

The picture of the measuring tape reminds me of the time that I had to get measured for my step-sister's big day! We were getting measured for her wedding! We had to go to a store that was kind of far away. The dress I had to get measured for was a beautiful long pink, ruffled dress. It would flow too. Whenever we got measured and they had approximated our dress size, we got to try on that size. Since they didn't have any of my size in the pink, I had to try on a yellow one. I guess it didn't matter though because it wasn't the dress I would be wearing in the wedding. Then I remember after we were finished we went out and got something to eat, and then just hung out together. It was really fun! Then finally her big day was here and I was so excited to wear my pretty dress.

Honolulu

I remember when I was 5, I went to Hawaii. It was so much fun! I went with my mom's side of the family and we went to I think 4 islands. The only ones I can remember the names of are The Big Island, Maui, and Honolulu. For me just riding the plane was exciting because going to Hawaii was my very first plane ride. The plane ride to Hawaii took about 8 and a half or 9 hours. It was kinda fun though because I got to sit by the window and watch. I thought that it was awesome seeing the plane rise and fall. When we were there we did all kinds of really fun things. We swam with dolphins and we got to go shopping at all kinds of really cool places. My favorite though was getting to go to the beach all the time. The sunset on the beach was so pretty! I wish I could go to Hawaii again!!

For as long as I can remember I have begged my dad to get me a dog. For Christmas of 2009 he finally did. When I went to open my presents under the tree I opened a box of dog treats and we took them to go pick out a dog. Once we got there I saw and played with many dogs. After looking around for a long time I finally found the one that I wanted to be mine. She was a Golden Lab and when I had went over to play with her she was very excited to see me and kept licking me. I got to take her home and name her. After a long time I had decided that I thought Chloe was a good name for her. I have had her now for three years and I still love her very much! A couple weeks ago one of my dad's friend's dog had puppies and we got to go look at them. My dad saw one that he really liked and said that once it got old enough we would probably get to keep it. It's face had what looked like a mask on and that is what really made it stand out above all the other puppies to us. My dad and me thought of a really cool name if we do get to have the puppy. If we do get to keep the adorable puppy then we decided that we would want to name it Bandit. We thought of that name as soon as we saw the little guy! I can't wait!

Halloween

Last night was Halloween night, the night that is supposed to be full of scares and candy. After I got home from school yesterday I had to wait for my little cousin to get home. I had promised that she could be there when I start to get ready to go trick-or-treating. Once she got off the bus we started pulling our costumes out of the closets and bags not wanting to wait to get them on. I was  a girl from the 50's and my little cousin was Cleopatra. I had to help her get on her dress and wig and once I finally got it on her she looked so adorable. Now it was time to put my costume on. I had to put on my poodle skirt and a pink shirt. After I was finished getting dressed it was time to do my hair. I started to heat up the curling iron and I brushed my hair and put it in a ponytail. Once we were all finished getting ready it was time to go trick-or-treating. I met at my friend's house and we walked for a few hours. We got lots of candy! We got Reese', Twix, Snickers, M&M's, and many yummy others! I had a great time going trick-or-treating on Halloween night with all my friends!
