12 Years, 9 Months...A little bit of everything!

When I am able to, I really enjoy going to Church.  I feel loved and accepted there and I really love the people.  Lillian's in-laws hosted a haunted Halloween hayride and I had a blast!  I hate that I don't get to go to youth group as much as I would like.  School volleyball was on Wednesday nights, and now club volleyball will be too.  I will miss everyone so much!

I met up with my friends Christian and Cohen at the mall one Sunday.  I felt so mature and enjoyed shopping and buying some of my own clothes.  I also went to a soccer game for Lila's brother Ethan's high school team.  I felt pretty mature about that too!  Ella and I spent the night at Isabel's house one night.  It was so nice to do some normal things again.  

I found out about the Grand Tetons trip this summer and really want to go.  I found out that I was accepted and I will leave for a week at the end of May.  I can't wait!

Shelby and I helped Mom with her first Student Council meeting.  It was a lot of fun being a role model for them.  Mom and I have also gone to several Mizzou volleyball games.  They aren't very good this year, but we still enjoy watching them play.  Shelby and I went to Lila's to go trick or treating this year. Lila and I went as characters from Heather's (the movie.)  I borrowed Grandma Kathy's red blazer and it worked perfectly!  We got lots of candy!  I also went with Lila and her mom to see Rent at Mizzou.  It was so much fun and I bought a t-shirt.

We had several days off school this month and I watched Emily.  It's not my favorite thing to do, but I don't complain about it.  Nana Arden usually comes to bring us McDonald's which is a nice treat.  Dad took me to get my flu shot at HyVee and I didn't even cry.  I may be growing up!  I got treats afterward though.  

Mom and Dad went to a conference and Grandma Kathy came and stayed with us.  It was so nice to have her here and I missed her so much when she left.  Aunt Lisa drove me to and from school, which was really nice of her.  Mom had parent teacher conferences for three nights after they got back and I really missed her.  I even told her "I hated conferences for taking her away from me."  I really enjoy math this year, but I do like having Mom help me with my homework.  (Sometimes she has to reteach herself before she helps me!)

I am super excited that Missouri Juniors volleyball has started.  I smiled for a week before it started.  It was so nice to get back on the court.  Our team seems to be really good this year.  All my teammates are pretty strong players.  I'm so excited about the season.
