We started this month with volleyball tryouts at school. I was convinced that I was not going to make it, but I did! I even got #5!!! Emily was gone that week at Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Tom's so I didn't have to worry about taking care of her. Mom, Dad, and I went to the first Mizzou volleyball game, which was a scrimmage. They are so much better this year. I went to another game with Mom and another one with Dad.
I got my 8th grade schedule and I am really happy about it. I love my teachers, and even have Mr. Settles for 3 classes! I have advanced science, a block English/social studies class, drama, French, algebra, and PE/advisory. I don't have EEE this year because it didn't fit into my schedule. I'm ok with that because I didn't really want to do the 8th grade project. I can take it again in high school. Our family went to the Back to School night at school to meet my teachers.
Our church celebrated the start of the school year with Blessings of the Backpacks. We also had a Fall Kick-Off, which ended up being inside because of the rain. Our Youth group went to Midway Golf and Games for some fun on the 2nd week of school. I enjoyed hanging out with my friends. We also had a Parents Night Out and I was really excited about helping there. I have formed a bond with a little boy named Andrew and love to spend time with him.
Our family went to Corrine's birthday party. Dad took me to the Hallsville volleyball tournament and I created my dream team there. He also took me to the Hallsville/Battle volleyball game. It was cool to see players that I may play with next year in high school. They lost, but were competitive.
We went over to Nana Arden and Papa Rodney's house to help them move some rocks for their landscaping and foundation work. We really didn't have to do a lot of work, and I had a lot of fun using a sledgehammer on the bricks! We got to enjoy a lot of Shakespeare's pizza too and spent some time with them. We are starting to go to Emily's soccer games again. I'm glad I get to support her too like she has supported me for years.
We realized that Shelby didn't really get to celebrate her birthday at home so we threw her a birthday party here! We baked a cake, I gave her presents, and she spent the night. It was a really good time!
We have had 3 volleyball games for school and we have improved a lot from last year. We haven't won yet, but we have been competitive. We played against several of my Missouri Juniors teammates (Lia, Mya, and Lilah.) Mom and I went to Lila's cross country meet. I had never been to one before, and it was pretty interesting. I got to have another Missouri Juniors unofficial practice and it was so good to learn new things instead of having bad habits at school volleyball.
Finally, I went to an Oakland football game. The reason is that I had to meet my boyfriend Aaron! He goes to another school, and I saw a picture of him and have been talking to him on Facetime. I was so nervous to meet him, but I really enjoyed hanging out with him. I really wanted mom to leave, but she wouldn't. Ugh, parents!
