Well, today has been a fruitful day. I cleaned and reorganized my room in preparation for my new full-sized bed. I still need to move some of my wall decorations around, but, quite frankly, that can wait for another day. In about 1/2 an hour, I'm headed to Megan Chaussee's for an after SAT party, even though I'm not taking my SAT until June. I'm looking forward to spending time with my friends, although they'll probably be wiped out from taking the test. Oh well, I'm sure we'll still manage to have fun somehow! =)

Today I had my birthday part. 11 people came although I had invited 16. Kari, Beca, Amanda N., Amanda C., Sarajean, Mara, Cynthia, Holly & Beth all came at 10:00. We then packed lunches and went bike riding on the Poudre trail. Near where Spring Creek trail meets the Poudre trail, we stopped and ate lunch. Lunch was an interesting experience since I had forgotten to pack plates & napkins. We "survived" though & stayed there for about 2 hours just sitting, talking, wading, rescuing Amanda Corbyn's helmet from the river, & walking across the river on the railing of the bridge since the bottom wasn't there anymore. Then we came home at about 2:45 and played Mafia (Megan B. joined us then) until 3:50 when we left for Grease. Bri joined us at the theater and we had a fun time lip sinking with the songs. We came home, ate dinner, and opened presents. I got lots of cool things including this journal and pen, colored mascara (blue & purple), necklaces, a What Would Jesus Do ring, and lots of bath stuff. Everybody left at 8:00. I'm so tired now but I figured I'd better write down what happened before I forgot.

For the 4th of July we had 2 people over to our house for dinner. They were from Daddy's work. After they left we went over to the Wright's (Gary & Virginia) & followed them up to Estes. We shot fireworks over the lake & then watched the professional show. It was fun but we didn't get pack until almost midnight. Today I went over & helped clean up City Park. I went around with A_____ C______. She's okay, it's just that she talks so much & it's almost like she wants the limelight. I still can't believe all these people are in 7th grade & I'm (and all the other people in my grade) are 8th grader. My brothers are seniors! Scary! Their going to be 17 soon.

Hi! I had a very good Christmas. I got the slacks I wanted as well as a few other clothes items. I also got a Creative Memories album & some jewelry. I have already done 2 pages(front & back) in my album. On Monday the 30th I had a little party at my house with Rebeca M., Amanda N. and Bri. I had invited Megen B. and Amanda C but they couldn't come. =( We had a fun time & Bri spent the night. Today Mrs. Gustafson called and asked if I could play with Reiden. We play Backgammon, Memory & Taboo. I stayed for almost 3 hours!

Hey! Today our family did our annual Christmas caroling with the other families in our group. (Morses, Wrights, Rhoads & Cranes). After caroling we met at the Rhodes's house and had a potluck dinner and exchanging of gifts. I got a music poster and $9 dollars. I figure that I am now 14 dollars in debt. Considering that Dad owes me 7 dollars I am only 7 dollars in debt! Hallelujah! It appears that I'll be able to pay off my debt & pay for the clarinet. It's a miracle!

Hi. It's me again after what seems a decade later. In the last week of August I started what is to be my first full year of public school. So far I have averaged at a 4.0. My mom says that I have the teachers wrapped around my little finger. Maybe I do. There are only 9 more school days until Christmas Break. I can't wait! 2 weeks of! It'll be great. I'll write again soon.
