Summer Update

VBS is over and done with. It was very fun and seemed to go by faster that it has in the past. We did High Seas Expedition. I got to be a part of the skits which was so much fun to do. My character was based on Ginger from Gilligan’s Island. I was the mother of two kids. A boy named Gilligan and a girl named Skipper. Both based off of Gilligan’s Island characters. I had never heard of that show until VBS started.

Yesterday I babysat for our neighbors. It was a fun day. They have two girls and two boys.

I can’t believe how fast summer has flown by. In a couple of weeks school will start back up again. I am to be a senor this year so this will be my last year of being homeschooled. Last year in orchestra and choir as well.

At least with the school year starting back up means that the TV shows that I watch will start back up as well. The Mentalist, American Idol in the late winter and early spring months, and Survivor.

For my birthday I got a new laptop. The hard drive on my old one was finally not going to keep going on anymore. So the last post and this one have been from my new one. And as well as any new ones that come up. In my family we name pretty much everything that we get. Our instruments, some of our cooking pots and pans, and all of our desktops and laptops. So, my new on is called Skye. For she is a light blue silvery color.

Well, I think that is it for now. Hopefully I get back into the habit of posting regularly in the future. But I won’t be able to make that into an actual promise.

Catching up.

Hello everyone,

Yes, I am going to attempt to enter back into the blogging world. Much has happened since February.

We had our annual Federated music contest. All four of my classes got the highest ratings.

The End of the Year Concerts were both great. I enjoyed them greatly.

Two weeks ago my family and I went to Branson to stay a week at Big Ceader. My mom’s parents and her two sisters and their families all came as well. We older people relaxed on the lazy river while the younger ones swam in the pools and went on the water slide. On the last day we were there, we rented a pontoon boat and went tubing. I wasn’t brave enough to do it, but all of the other kids went.

VBS is coming up on the 12th. It has come up so fast. Yet it always seems to. This year we are doing “High Seas Adventures.” I really like the music.

Today is my 18th birthday. 18 years old. I’m old. We went to see Toy Story 3 this afternoon. The ending made me cry. There were funny parts as well. It has to be the best new movie I have seen in a while.

That’s it for now. Write later. Hopefully sooner than later. =)
