First of all, thanks everyone for your comments. This is a new record for me to have 9 comments on just one entry. I'll soon have 50 comments, then 100 before I know it. Thanks again everyone for making that possible.

Today, my family and I came back from Lufkin. We stayed at the Hampton Inn and Suites and it was very nice. Our window-view was of the forest on the right side of the hotel. It was suprisingly calming and peaceful and we even saw a cardinal flying in the trees. Not only did the hotel have a DVD and VCR player, but it also had a bathtub with jetstreams. It felt a little different than a jacuzzi (mostly because of the space). The only bad thing was for some reason, the jetstreams wouldn't shut off. It stayed on for a really long time. In fact, it stayed on all night and was even still going after we left. My family and I and even the manager didn't know how to cut it off or what made it stay on for so long. I think we might have pressed the button too many times.

Also today (and tomorrow), my brother, Micah, and I have sign language and on Friday we have a sign language concert. I think we're signing a song called I Lift Up My Hands. On a different song we've been practicing, Sis. Rhonda, our sign language teacher, has extended my solo part in the song. At first, I wasn't even going to have a part in the song. Sis. Rhonda was going to reserve Christmas solos for me and another girl who wanted a part in the song. But because I was standing in the middle, I now have a part signing the bridge and chorus' before and after the bridge. I'm really happy about that!

Early in the morning this Saturday, we'll be leaving on our big trip of the year, to Georgia for my aunt's retirement party. We're going to take our three-row car all the way there. I'm very excited about the party but it will be three hours. The only thing that will probably be served is water and hors d'oeuvres. There will probably be no one around my age to talk to. I hope it will turn out a little bit better than I think it will. That's about it.
