The Road Goes Ever On And On...

Tacked in My Journal
As I write, we, along with friends from Texas, are en route back to our home state!  The big tournament is over, and I think everyone is content.  Therefore without further ado (and because we're about to pull out of our hotel with wireless), I present to you yet another slideshow of our adventures:

 



Now if you haven't ever experienced an NCFCA tournament, some of these pictures probably won't make sense.  Oh well.  And about those credits...well, it was Christina's idea.  I think.

Hey, I was at the tournament! I think I may have seen you, but I know I saw your little sisters and I think your mom. I loved the slide show. BTW, I didn't qualify in anything, so you won't recognize my name. Do you know the placings for humorous? More specifically do you know how Kellen Ayres placed? She is from my club. I really like reading your blog!

Ohhh, great slideshow! I assume you use Windows Movie Maker. I love that program! It's amazingly awesome. Glad y'all are back from the tournament! I'm sure you're completely exhausted, lol! Everything I read on Paul's blog gave the impression that y'all were wearing yourselves out and having the time of your lives! I can't wait to talk to Christina about it tomorrow...

I'm not in speech or debate yet, but I thought your slideshow was really cool, especially since I recognized several of the people in it. Didn't you have a slide of the brothers that did "Horton Hears a Who?"
