we just got home from Awana awhile ago. It was an ok night. (Sometimes it's kind of chaotic) The kids in my group were nice and calm (Which is very unusual). One of the girls in my group finished her Skipper book tonight. She was so happy. It was adorable. The skit that we did was shorter than the usual ones we do. I just remembered this morning that I had to write the skit. My friend, who was supposed to write it, had some kind of concert for band. And he couldn't make it. Inspiration did not pop into my head like it usually does so I had to look for one on the internet. It took me awhile to find one that would work for our group. I finally found one that was good enough. It said that it would take about seven minutes to perform. It actually took about three minutes to perform. :) As we all exited the room we heard a little kid say "That was short!". My team, green team, won! They were so good at lining up and sitting quietly that we got a lot of extra points. If they didn't give us points for that we probably would have lost. They didn't do that great in the actual games tonight. :) ttyl.

The Hand Song

Today my sister had her birthday party. We had a lot of fun...except when we played capture the flag. As usual, it was very chaotic. Every time we play capture the flag with our friends it ends in arguing. MAJOR ARGUING! Basically SCREAMING AT ONE ANOTHER! But we all agreed to just shut up and pretend it didn't happen. We also played pickle and elbow tag. Bailey (my puppy) probably had the most fun today. She got a lot of love and attention. She also got a lot of exercise. Actually, she's soooo tired that she's been laying on her bed since everyone left. Which is very unusual for her. She's normally always running around until she has to go to bed. She's sound asleep.
I got to do nursery in church today! I was so happy. I got to do it with two close friends. We had a blast.

Today was my piano recital. I was sooooooo nervous. I had to have my song completely memorized and not use my music. My turn was second to last out of about 30 students. They go youngest to oldest. I didn't mess up!! At least that anyone could notice. lol. I was so relieved when it was over. I played the "Dill Pickles Rag". Here is a link for the song: http://www.primeshop.com/ragsmid/dillpikl.mid Let me know if it doesn't work.

I haven't posted in a week or so because I've been really sick. I had a fun birthday party last week. We played a lot of games. I got some new Switchfoot c-ds and the newest Relient K c-d. I also got a lot of new board games. My piano recital is coming up soon. I'm a little more confident than last time. But this time I have to have the song memorized. It's called "Dill Pickles Rag" and it is really fun to play.

We saw Narnia again! I loved it even more than the first time I saw it. It's such a good movie. It makes me want to read the whole series again.
I'm learning Ragtime music! I've always wanted to learn Ragtime songs on the piano ever since I saw the movie "Summer Magic". And that was before I even started to play the piano. I asked my teacher if I could try a higher level because I love playing hard music. My teacher has me doing seven different piano books right now. Hanon (exercises), A Dozen A Day #2 (more exercises), Lesson Book, Technique & Artistry, Theory, Popular Repertoire, and Ragtime/Marches (Level: Big Time). All of the books, except for the exercise books, are in a series called "Piano Adventures" by, Nancy and Randall Faber. I really like their method and I plan to use their series when I teach piano lessons. I love piano!
I finished the Left Behind series!! It was soooooo good! I'm so glad that I decided to read them. I'm reading "The Rising-Antichrist is Born" Which is about the characters lives before they were left behind. It's very interesting because it really explains why some of the characters turned out the way they did. I bought the first two books, together, for $3.00 at our library's used book store. A $50.00 value. They look like they've never been used. $3.00 for two books that were made in 2005.

I forgot to mention early one of the most exciting presents that we got on Christmas. My brother got our family a telescope. It was so shocking. We weren't expecting anything like that. We set it up tonight. Oh my goodness! We got to see Venus, Mars, and Saturn. Saturn was the most incredible out of all of them. We could see the rings and everything. I have always wanted to see this planet in a telescope ever since we did Astronomy in school. It took my breath away. I had the song "God of Wonders" playing over and over again in my head. When we were in Arizona on our vacation last summer, we got the chance to see Jupiter at a observatory. Seeing Saturn from our driveway was ten times better.

We had a very nice Christmas. My sisters and brother came over and we had a lot of fun. My parents got me some c-ds that I wanted and they also got me a Jeremy Camp music book. Bailey really likes her new toys.
I can't believe it's almost 2006! We're going to my Grandparents house on New Years Eve. I'm so excited because my cousin and his family are also coming. They have two little girls. They're so adorable!

My dad just went out to get us Chinese food. It has been one of our Christmas traditions since before I was born. I'm so excited! We each get to open one present tonight. I can't wait for my sister to open the present I got her.
Merry Christmas! |
It's so cozy in the living room. My dad just lit a log in the fireplace. I hope that everyone has a wonderful Christmas!|
I hope it doesn't start raining again. I really want to go look at Christmas lights with our friends. I'm going to be very disappointed if we can't go. This is probably going to be our last year here since we're planning on moving pretty soon. I see clear skies in the distance. That should mean something. *NEWS FLASH* I had to leave the computer for a minute to take Bailey outside. The sky is blue! Hopefully it will stay blue.
One of my friends got me a gift card for Starbucks. Yes!! I love Starbucks. And one of my other friends gave me some lotion that smells really good, and tastes good too (Bailey loves the flavor. She was attacking me. Lol).
We finished the Christmas presents that we were making! They all turned out really well. We're so excited to give them to our family.

I feel so awful. Well, it could be a lot worse. I'm so glad that I'm sick now instead of next weekend. It feels like a cold. I hope that I will be able to go to music lessons tomorrow.
We're almost completely done with the presents that we're making. Just a few more to go. I'm so excited for Christmas. We're still not sure if we're are going to my Grandparents house or not. I kind of hope that we can stay home, but I'll be ok if we have to go out. One of my older sisters is planning on spending the night on Christmas Eve. That makes me even more excited.
