11 1/3 Years...Getting out a little more

School officially ended on May 21st.  It was a very anticlimactic experience.  After missing the last quarter of my 5th grade year, there wasn't much else to do.  I went to school to get "last day of school' pictures taken.  I'm really glad Mr. Higgins was there and was able to give me my certificate.  I really miss him and my friends.  Off to middle school!
I have been able to see my friends a bit.  I went over to Madelyn's house and she came here once to play outside for a few hours.  Lila has also come over here and I went to Corinne's once.  It just isn't the same.  Lila was baptized this month and other than immediate family and grandparents, I was her only guest.  It was quite an honor and I was really nervous going into the church.  Our family went over to Lila's house afterwards for an outdoor BBQ party to celebrate her and it was really good to hang out with her and Olga.  
Mom took Emily and me to Washington to meet up with Auntie Heather and family to walk at the riverfront.  It was a nice day and good to be somewhere else.
I have also done a few volleyball things too.  I've gone to multiple positional opportunities, we had one open gym, and I even had a private lesson with Molly Taylor!  I'm getting a lot better at jumping to attack and putting spin on the ball.  I'm looking forward to learning more this summer before try-outs!
I also had an orthodontist appointment and I am ready for braces!  Other than that, our family has been doing a lot of walks, bike rides, board games, and reading.  Looking forward to more interaction next month!
Lots of walks at Stephen's Lake and in our neighborhood
