My Life Lately

I can't believe that my first year is highschool is leaving me so quickly right before my eyes. I had no idea it would be going this fast. I can still remember the summer I was getting into middle school. I was so excited I was getting older and going onto a new school. I'm already in highschool. This has been the best part of my life so far. Right now, I'm working on the costumes for a play called The Laramie Project. I was offered a part but turned it down because I don't agree with some of the content of the production. Click here for more information on the story. We have the play on Feb. 6 and 7. I've been staying after school every day until about 7. Drama club has pretty much consumed my life. I also just got back on Sunday from a church trip with other churches in our district called Snowball Retreat. I went skiing and it was absolutely amazing and it's become one of my favorite things to do. Well I think I've vented long enough now. I'm in a computer class and we aren't doing anything right now so I decided to let some things out. Oh gotta go! Here comes my teacher!

My Christmas Break

For my Christmas break, I went to see my relatives in Alabama. I spent 7 days there then went to see my sisters and brother in-law in Tennessee for 2 days. It was a lot of fun.

My grandma got all the girl cousins wigs!

We took a hike into the mountains and found Lost Falls

My Main Focus

At the moment, I haven't had time for anything but play rehearsal and school. I'm going to be in a play this week called The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. I'm only an extra, but the play has turned out to be a lot of fun. We will be performing for the elementary schools in our small little town on Friday all day during school. Also, we're having a family/friend performance tomorrow night. It's going to be a lot of fun because we're performing in our fairly new auditorium! Only the THIRD production to ever hit stage there! It's so exciting!

Raucous Royals: Day 3

For the last day of the Raucous Royals book tour, I thought I'd finish out with some hopefully fun facts included in the book or about some of the characters in the book. Comment this blog guessing the answers! I'll let you know if you're right or not. Have fun!

Rumor #1- Henry VIII was so fat that he had to be carried by his servants. True or false?

Rumor #2- Prince Dracula was a real vampire. True or false?

More rumors like these can be discovered in The Raucous Royals. The book was great for kids of all ages. I enjoyed reading it.

Don't forget to check out the rest of the awesome bloggers and their reviews in the tour!

Be Thankful (Yes I have posted a lot of entries today)

I didn't have a chance to get on for a Thanksgiving entry but I thought I'd put one up now. Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful for not only you, but for your friends, your family, and the life that you're lucky to live. My grandma sent me this link to a video that almost put me to tears. Click here to see it. Also, he came to my church once to speak, so I've met him before. He's a really great guy, if I do say so myself! You have to watch the video!

For the month of December

I've got a neverending "must read" list that I've had going since the summer that I plan to read for the month. I'll make a list on the side column to list the books I've read. If you would like to suggest a book or would like me to do a review on one, I'd be happy too. Just email me at horslv6@aol.com or comment this entry. Thanks so much!
