15 Years Old...Snow, courtwarming, and healing

Happy 15th birthday to me!!!  We had another snow day this month.  It has been super cold too.  I asked Ethan to drive me to school even though Lila wasn't going to come because it was too cold to walk to the bus stop.

Dad took me to another one of Aaron's basketball games, and Mom took me to two other games later in the month.  I’m trying to make all the games that I can.

Our family volunteered at the Food Bank because mom was doing a student council event.  I really enjoyed myself and would like to do that more. Aaron came to our house one day/evening and we made and decorated the cookies that his mom gave us for Christmas.  Mom and I left for Kansas City for the Power League Qualifier.  I was able to quickly made it to full play and got to play libero! We ended up in Power League 2.  Mom and I went to Kansas City for the first weekend of the Power League 2 and we didn’t play the best.  It was our third tournament in the same facility this season!

We again had more snow days.  I made brownies at Lila's for the Courtwarming food day to raise money.  We had a courtwarming assembly and we played a Hungry Hungry Hippos game with balls, scooters, and a clothes baseket. I went to the courtwarming game because that was when they were going to announce the winners.  I had way more fun than I thought.  I was happy for the girl who got courtwarming queen for the freshman class because she was very deserving. And of course, Aaron and I went to the courtwarming dance.

I started physical therapy for my concussions and headaches.  It is a lot of neck strengthening and stretching and eye coordination.  I was surprised at how out of shape my neck was!

I woke up with a fever one Thursday and was home sick for two days.  I was not feeling great, but we still had our family birthday party.  The next day, we did our birthday pictures and then watched the Super Bowl at home.

I missed working at the pancake dinner at church because I had volleyball practice.  I met up with Aaron at Andy's for Valentine's Day which was really nice. We celebrated with cake and presents for my birthday at home.  I had to go to bed early to prepare for my MRI and EEG the next morning!
