2010

I am possibly THE worst blogger in the history of blogging. Not only have I not updated in months, the last 5-ish entries were all short and very uninformative. Not to mention I only have one reader (I LOVE YOU BRITT!).

I suppose I should start by filling you in on things that were long ago promised explanations.

Okay, homecoming. Homecoming was a blast; my friend Sarah was my "date" and we went with a group of our close friends. After the dance, we went to Rachel's house and watched "I Love You, Man". Let me tell you, if you have not seen that movie yet, GO SEE IT! Same with "The Hangover". That's pretty much it, seeing as it was months ago I'm having trouble finding up with good adjectives for the occasion. OH! The pep rally was amazing! The highlight was probably when all of the faculty danced to Michael Jackson, and dressed like him! Too funny. Here's a picture from before the dance.




Also, Stratford. Describing that trip would take way too long, and since Brittany already knows the story I'll just skip out on that. Suffice to say that we were stuck in rural Canada all day and night and didn't get home until 3:00 AM- we def did not go to school the next day. Things were pretty crazy by the end of it, here's a photo to prove it.



My dad. Okay, so in December of 2008 my dad, while high, decided to rob a gas station. This past November, he was sentenced to 6 months in the county jail, which is not all that bad considering the 5-10 years we were expecting. He has now served half of his time and hopefully when he gets out things will be different. Although I highly doubt that my siblings and I will be allowed to see him. Getting visitation time will more than likely not be all that easy after committing a felony. Sorry, no picture for this one.

Back to happy news, about marching band, we are again the flight three state champions! Our performance was amazing, every time I watch the video I get the chills. The adrenaline during and after the show was amazing, and it sure did feel great to take Stevensville down. This time, there is a picture.



Thanksgiving and Christmas were both great, and the end of 2009 flew by. My brother got a rottweiler puppy, and I am now the proud aunt of Lil' Tone Tone!



2010 came in, and Jillian and I went to see Nick Jonas and the Administration at the Fox Theatre (their CD came out yesterday, go buy it!)





I turned 16 and got a chastity ring as well as my license.That's Sarah, Imari, and I before I drove us to Julia's.


I crammed into a tiny room with my youth group.


Not much else has happened. Just small, everyday happenings that make my life great. So far, I've loved my sophomore year.






XOXOXO

Just wanted to let you all know that yesterday at the Huron Valley Invitation we again took first with all three captions and scored a 80.6!

Infinity and Beyond (BOX 5)

[WRITTEN ON 10/30/09]

Where to begin...

I suppose I should start with an apology; I'm truly sorry that I haven't been updating. I've been so busy- although I'd be a hypocrite if I began listing excuses.

I guess an important topic could be marching band. Just yesterday something hit me- the season ends a week from tomorrow! It has went by incredibly fast. Its funny to think that as my sophomore year of marching band is ending, my sophomore year of high school is still just beginning. We broke 80 last week at Clarkston! We got first with all three captions by a landslide. Which is really exciting. I firmly believe that if we push ourselves to the edge and stay focused box five is possible. For those of you who don't know what box five is, it is the score range in the 90 percentile and above. Something that's always been a goal of ours, but also something that we have never been able to attain. We come close, but never actually received a box five score. Only 1 band in Flight 3 has ever done it in the entire history of the MCBA; that was Hudsonville about 15 years ago under the old score sheets. And boy would I love to cream Stevensville. We'll just have to wait and see though.

Last night, I was inducted into my school's chapter of the National Honor Society. The ceremony itself wasn't all that intriguing- but it was still an exciting experience; and the cookies and punch afterward were exquisite.

Jillian (my best friend) is going out with our friend Ryan again. They are possibly the cutest couple in the school. In terms of my own love life, I'm a little confused at the moment. I've been feeling more and more attracted to this kid with every day that passes. FYI, I used to have a huge crush on this kid. Like I said, I am attracted to him I wouldn't necessarily call it a crush though. Anyway, we've kinda been flirting a lot but the thing is, he's semi-flirty with everyone. So I don't know what to make of it. I'll let you know what happens with that (have you figured out who I'm talking about yet Britt?).

There's so much more that I could talk about, but its going on 11:00 and I have to get up at 6:00. I'll make sure to talk about homecoming, Stratford, as well as a couple other things next time.

PS- my dad's sentencing is on Wednesday- yet another topic to discuss next time.

Sorry

So sorry that I haven't posted anything in an eternity. My internet was down and is just now back up.

I have so much to tell you, but unfortunately right now I am going to bed. Idk when I'll actually be able to inform you on the happenings of the past few weeks, hopefully Thursday but def not by tmw. It is on the top of my list of things to do though, I swear.

I love you all.

LAST THING

Forgot to mention that our score tonight was higher than anyone else's from all flights. :)

WOOT.

PS

Just wanted to let you all know that I worked everything out with my best friend regarding homecoming.

Hakuna matata.

(I think I'm going to watch Pocahontas after church tomorrow)

Effin Boss as All Get Out

Yo.

So I got home from the Trenton competition about an hour ago.
We took 1st capturing all 3 captions (best music, best marching, and best general effect) with a score of 73.05- the highest we have EVER received in September. We did absolutely amazing. Too bad I can't post a video though! I did leave my camera for my mom, but because she's a DAB she couldn't figure it out. Whatever though, she tried. :/

I am exhausted, but very proud and pleased.

FERNDALE IS BOSS!
your a jerk.

Buenos noches.
