After we returned from Gulf Shores, I got to spend my week with Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Tom. It was a really nice relaxing week with fun sprinkled in. I just really wanted to have time with Grandma. I was looking forward to it all summer. What we did is top secret!
When I got back, we had a Missouri Juniors meeting and practice. It was so awesome. In that short practice, I learned so much from Mikayla! I am looking forward to spending more time with my teammates. Our school try-outs started today and I was so nervous.
Our Church did a family Vacation Bible School called Great Big Beautiful World. Lillian enlisted Katie and me to do a couple of skits for the kids and we nailed it! I also helped with the sports room with Bryce. My favorite was the pre-school class, especially Andrew. Michael even asked for my help the next day to clean things up. I was able to go out to eat with his family at Applebee's.
Our youth group also went to Worlds of Fun together and I had a blast! Michael got me to ride on a rollercoaster! There was a parent meeting with the youth group to discuss this coming semester. Michael is wanting us to understand more about what we believe on our own, and possibly having a confirmation and baptism option. I can't wait to hear more about it.
I had some fun with friends too. I went to the movie Thor (I really don't get those movies), and Olga and I slept over at Lila's house. I had Shelby spend the night here one night and we spent the night at Lila's another night. I have really missed sleepovers!
I got my hair cut for school and had my annual check-up. I'm doing well, but I did have to get one shot. It took me an hour to be ready and the nurse was very patient with me. One hour is better than 3 hours! I'm getting better, but I don't need another shot until I am 16, and then only boosters after that!
Our family went to Lodge of the Four Seasons for a couple of days for a conference for dad. We went clothes and Crocs shopping. I am thrilled with the white Crocs that I got, as well as the jeans. I also found a pair of pants that are the most comfortable things I have ever worn! I might start dressing fancier, but not much!
Dad went back to work last week, which means summer is almost over. Papa Ron and Linda came for a visit as well. Papa Ron took us out to eat at Applebee's. We really enjoyed having time with him. Linda came over after visiting with her daughter and we played Dominos. It was a lot of fun!
I start 8th grade in about a week! I got my schedule and I am really excited about it. I am not able to take EEE this year because of a scheduling conflict with an English/Social Studies block, French, Speech/Drama, and Advanced Algebra. I can go back to it in high school. However, I have Mr. Settles for 3 classes this year! I think this is going to be a good year after all!
