Summer is coming to an end. Mom went back to work and Emily and I hung out at home. Nana Arden came over to bring us McDonald’s and a treat on a couple of days. I have been busy with volleyball practice and am really enjoying my school team. I can’t believe I get to play varsity! I had a problem with my class schedule and dad took me up to school to talk with my counselor. She is amazing and did everything she could to get me not only in the right classes, but in the classes I wanted. I really like her, and she gets to follow me for 4 years.
I went out to a movie with Aaron and his parents. Nothing like a double date with the
parents! We also went to a couple of Mizzou
volleyball games, went swimming at his neighborhood pool, and hung out at our
house later. At Church, we had blessings
of the backpack, but I was too cool to go up and get my backpack tag. I like to hang out with the youth group in
the back of church during the service.
Our family went to Corinne’s birthday party even though I wanted to skip
to hang out with Aaron some more before Jump Start day.
Things have gone so fast since school started! I went to Jump Start day so I could get a
feel for the high school building the day before classes started. I thought I was going to be able to walk
through my schedule, but we did not. It
was really hot and we had an assembly outside on the bleachers of the football
stadium. Afterwards, we had our school
pictures taken. Nothing like a sweaty
mess! My first day of school went pretty
well. We had our first BHS Jamboree
against California and Fatima that night.
I get to play middle back DS and rotate when Maria is in the
backrow. I get to play about half the
time which isn’t too bad for a freshman on varsity. I even got on TV that night, as I was
celebrating a point and also a really good dig that I had. I realized quickly that my AP classes were too
much work. I again changed my schedule
and am now in Honors classes instead.
I went to some of Aaron’s basketball games, and we spent
time at each other’s houses as much as we could after school started. Volleyball is keeping me seriously busy. One week, he was very insistent on getting
together with me at Andy’s. When we were
finally able to get together, he surprised me with asking me to homecoming through
a poster of Taylor Swift songs! I went
dress shopping with Lila and her mom since my mom was at home with Emily, who
had Covid. I wished she could have been
there, but I found a beautiful dress, and also ordered one online. I decided to keep them both! We canceled spending the night because of the
Covid exposure, but I never got it.
I went to Texas Longhorn with my team for a bonding experience. They are all so nice and inclusive of
me. They offer me rides since I am the
only one who is not able to drive. Our
first real game was against Eldon, and I got to play against Jaiden from
Missouri Juniors. I had a highlight reel
on hudl that showed 19 digs! Again, not
bad for a freshman on varsity! Our team
had a carwash fundraiser with the softball team and I went to the Mizzou/Louisville
game after that. That is one of my top
volleyball schools that I would like to go to.
We have since had volleyball games at Lebanon, at home vs.
Hallsville (Papa Ron and Linda came!), a tournament at Hickman, a game at Blair
Oaks, and a game at Helias (Aaron went with mom). I am so exhausted and was glad to have a day
off school in the middle of that. We
walked in the very short first annual homecoming parade! We start next month with another tournament and
my homecoming!
