Detroit.

James and I are going on a missions trip to Detroit next week, its going be a lot of fun! The people in my small group are really cool, and i don't have to get up at 6:00 to make breakfast, YES!!!!! We're going to be helping a church out with their VBS, and do lots of construction projects, I'm looking foreword to it.
Yesterday was the Toy classic on the square, it was a pretty good race. Dad placed 4th in the 3/4 race and James crashed and still got 3rd! The 1/2/3 race was epic, but you can read about that on James's blog.

Summer....

Well hello, I don't really know what to write about. Not much on my plate for the rest of this week. My family is going to Troy (Ohio) on....Friday?, for the pancake stage race? Could prove to be interesting. I would go outside right now and read, but it's so hot i would probably melt. Abby and i are making an itinerary for Seattle, I better get back to work :)

Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

WE ARE GOING TO SEATTLE IN AUGUST!!!!!!
I am so excited, the exhilaration is setting in.

So...I got tagged.

That means that my beloved little brother made a list on his blog of people who have to list 6 little known facts about them selfs, I was on that list.
So here are 6 little known facts about yours truly.

1. I won the Michigan Points Challenge series in the 13-14 age group in the 2005-2006 season.
2. I was homeschooled up through 8th grade.
3. I am the shortest person at my high school.
4. I have a type A leader personality.
5. I have played guys in the last 2 of my school plays.
6. I have a rare case of multiple stress fractures in both of my legs from playing soccer this season.

I hope you're satisfied James.

Summer Reflextion

Hard to believe that summer is half gone and we will be in school in less then 2 months. It has been a relatively uneventful summer. With the exception of summer fund raisers with my class and watching the Euro cup 2008 (Ya Spain!!!!). Not much has happened, not that I'm complaining! I mean look on the bright side, do you want to be in school instead of being board at home?
Tonight some of my class mates and i will be distributing flyer's in my neighborhood for our can drive,it may prove to be fun?
