Michigan

Hi guys. We just got back from a week in Michigan visiting with relatives. It was really fun. We went to the beach every day and hung out a lot with our cousins. One of my cousins, who is going to beauty school, cut my hair and another came back from Africa while we were there. Needless to say, we got to hear a lot of great stories. Despite all of the fun we had, it was nice to get home last night (just in time for the Olympic Opening Ceremonies!!) Now I am reading a borrowed copy of Breaking Dawn and almost done with it already! (I started it this morning.)
At the beach!

Update

Hey, we got back from Europe a week ago. Paula has it all on her blog if you want to read about it. Not much has been happening here. We leave for Michigan on Friday, which will be fun. Sorry, for such a short post, but it has been really boring here.

Birthday!

Sunday was my birthday! I got a new ipod, since mine is no longer functioning. Paula picked out the cake this year, so we had an X-Treme Chocolate ice cream cake from Dairy Queen. It was AWESOME!

summer update

Hooray! School's out! Finals weren't too bad, thankfully. My birthday is on Sunday, too, so that's exciting. Erin, Leah, and Paige are in Germany right now. Paula's been sick for a couple days. I got a new shirt. I'm rambling...sorry. Well, I'm gonna go outside and get some fresh air and sun now.

Meet Gus-Gus!

I got my violin! His name is Gus-Gus (like the mouse in Cinderella!).

Relay, Orchestra, Art Show

<-Relay!
The past week and weekend have been really busy, so I'll try to condense them down a little bit. On Wednesday the orchestra played in the Library before the Band pops concert and during the Art Show (inwhich I took third!) . Here is a clip from the concert of us playing Irish Party in Third class. Then on Friday night we had Relay for Life at school. Art Club (the team I was on) raised over 3,000 dollars alone! :) Jessica raised a ton again. We had a lot of fun. We face painted, played frisbee, wii, batminton, big base, and walked a ton. It was a blast. We have our Orchestra concert in a week! Yikes! Tomorrow is the Body Worlds field trip for Anatomy and Megan, Paula, and I are going on it. Wednesday is the AP Lang and Comp test! :( I'm scared. Well, I should probably go now, but I'll post again later this week sometime.HerrF without a mustache!!

Prom!

Prom was yesterday and it was a BLAST! We got ready at Paige's house and then went to the dance, which was at Florien Gardens. They actually played good music and had really, really good cookies on tables around the room. The DJ was pretty good and there were doors inside the room where we were dancing where you could go outside and still hear the music, so we went out there when it got to crowded and warm to dance. I don't have a lot of time to post now, but I bet Paula will put up more stuff about it. The first picture is of me outside Paige's house and the second is Paula and me inside Paige's house.

I haven't been doing a whole lot lately. In English we started our Shakespeare unit and are reading The Taming of the Shrew. I started a self defense class with Erin, Leah, and Paula. We have the Band Pops Concert on Wednesday so we are playing for the Art Show in the library (which I have some jewelry pieces in). I'll post again soon!
