Fun stuff:D

hey everyone! so i started school a few weeks ago and i really like it. i made so many friends already and i was able to figure out where all my classes are. i like all my classes except for spanish and gym. i know know what you all are thinking, why does she hate the easiest classes? well, first gym is just gym. i like sports outside of school, not in school. we are playing football right now and i am physically challenged when it comes comes to football. i face planted into the ground on monday because i slipped on the grass. and then, when i was walking out to the field i tripped and twisted my ankle. so, if anyone has any pointers, feel free to share. i will be playing this until november! i really don't like my gym teacher either, so that really doesn't make it any better. Spanish is just boring and hard. my teacher uses all spanish in the class. i know english and a few italian words, none of this really helps me the spanish. personally, i think i will do fine in life just knowing one language. schools these days.... anyway other than that i like it. oh and one other thing i don't like is my english teacher's spit. he spits a lot, which is a lot worse than it sounds when you sit in the front. but overall i really like school, and my grades are pretty good so far.

next, as most of you know i will soon be making a trip to minnesota! i can't wait! only 23 days until we go. there are some fun activities planned and i know it will be a lot of fun. the best part is i get to see some of our family. i haven't see anyone since like november last year! even though it won't be everyone, it will still be enjoyable.

also, on sunday i am making my confirmation. tonight i had confirmation practice which was extremely boring. and, my sponsor wasn't even there. for anyone who doesn't know, my sponsor is my best friends mom who is like a second mother to me. she is in the bahamas and gets back on saturday. i get confirmed at 1:30 on Sunday, and then afterwards we are going to have a party. it is being held at a local restaurant in clark. hopefully, that will be fun.

this past weekend was spent down the shore. it was for my grandparents 50 anniversary. it was so much fun. we took a family picture and then went out to a fancy dinner so everyone was all dressed up for the occasion. all the little kids were very behaved and my grandparents really enjoyed themselves. we went swimming, and there was a game room we visited quite often, and we did some shopping. overall, the weekend was a lots or fun.

finally, some exciting news for me and my sister. i am finally getting my braces off! i have had them since fourth grade, and i am so tired of them. megan got hers off in august, so it was about time mine came off. they come off on october 10th. i can't wait to no longer be a brace face! next, megan got the lead role in the nutcracker, a performance her dance school puts on every year. this is a huge deal for her and she seems really happy. except, he is out of the dance for the next two weeks because she may have shin splints or did something to a tendon in her leg. hopefully it will heal in two weeks, but if not she has to get an x-ray so we can figure out the problem.

so, as you can see a lot is going on now. lots of exciting things have begun. we miss everyone and can't wait to see you guys! love you!
