The Notebook

I was sitting watching The Notebook, a wonderful movie that I can't seem to get enough of, when I decided I may as well blog and get something productive done while sitting on my butt!

I'm currently in the process of moving into my own room since my older brother moved out a few weeks ago. While I was quite looking forward to being able to have some space to myself, the process of doing so is rather tiring! I'm close to being done now- just a few more things to go through in my old room I shared with my sister and I'll be done!

During this tiring excercise of moving piles of pure junk around and deciding what to keep and what to throw away, I found some memerable notebooks in my closet. For one I discovered I have far too many for any person, but the more I flipped through them the happier I was that I had kept them. I was able to laugh at my tragic handwriting of the 5th grade and my misspelling of the word 'which'. I was able to read over stories I had written pretending that I was in the world of Harry Potter(my obsession from about 2nd grade through 7th).

All in all when you brush the dust off the past it can actually be rather rewarding. :)

I have some pictures to show too!!

And on a very high note- my climax of the day...

*drumroll here*

I made varsity for our track team! So far all that's been announced is our 4 x 100 relay team, but the three girls I'm running it with I already have an amazing bond with and we've only been in track for three weeks! I'm absolutely thrilled.

Been awhile...

So I'm making an all new resolution to get in a habit of writing on this occasionally. Though I did in the past and look how it followed through. Oops?

After an exciting past few weeks I decided that I'd update!

For one I'll ask for prayers for a little boy by the name of Bryson. He recently underwent surgery to correct his feet and there were some slight complications. He's finally home and doing better but the poor boy still needs prayers to help him cope with his pain. And prayers that he will be able to walk!

Our school basketball team went to playoffs once again this year and we got farther then my school has ever gotten before, actually playing for the state title tonight. We lost-- but hey, second in state is great! There was a big fight in the opposing school's crowd which led to a ten minute delay in the last half of the game. Half of their students and cheer leaders got escorted out and we had to be escorted out to avoid their students trying to hurt us.

I turned 16 a little less than a month ago. It's a little strange. Failed my drivers test, but hey. Most people seem to. I'll retake it eventually. :]

Anyways. Long day and it's late. I'm exhausted so I think I'll go curl up in my new bedroom. (I'll post pictures soon!!)
