More to come...
A few things happened at church this month. We did the Blessing of the Backpacks, but I decided not to go up in front. It was too childish for me. We also said good-bye to Pastor Caleb. He has been such a great addition to our pastoral staff and I was really hoping he would become our full time pastor. I wish him the best of luck in his new church.
I started Sophomore year and I think I am ready to do the more challenging classes. I am taking a block class for English and Social Studies credit that I will be taking the AP test to gain college credit. I love the teachers in that class. I was excited that they gave me homework! Mom and Dad both went to Back to School night and met most of my teachers. I had picture retakes because the ones I had taken before school were not the best smile since my mouth was still partially paralyzed.
I went with Mom to Mizzou's Black and Gold scrimmage. I am so excited for their season! Mom took me to another game, as we have season tickets again! We went to the MU game versus Lindenwood with Missouri Juniors. It was nice to see everyone again, but I think we are all tired. I'm still a little hesitant to start club. Good thing I am loving high school volleyball! We had a volleyball pool party at Taylor's house and it was so much fun! We played a hide and seek game in the dark and laughed so hard. Grace and I hid in someone's car, and we also ran through the yard and I tripped and rolled over the posts for the volleyball net. More laughter!
Before we even really started our season, we did several fundraisers for the team. We did a pancake fundraiser at the school and my family came to support it. We also did an Andy's fundraiser and Tristn, Audrey, and I stood outside to hand out the fliers. We did the calendar fundraiser again, as well as selling Shakespeare's pizzas. I'm tired of asking for money, and didn't do the club fundraiser that happened at the same time.
Battle volleyball has been great this year! I think we are going to have a great team! We played against a couple of alumni and our coaches in the Call to Battle. It was so much fun and really funny. In the Jamboree, we won in two sets each to Fatima and California. We also won the next 4 games: Eldon at home (3-1), Tolton away (3-0), Boonville at home (3-0), and Hallsville away (3-0). I was actually named player of the game for the Hallsville game and got interviewed by the Columbia Missourian! We also played in the Hickman tournament (Papa Ron, Linda, and Mom were my spectators.) We took second in pool play because we started off a little slow: Fatima (1-1), Tolton (2-0), Greenridge (2-0), and DeSoto (1-1). We got to play and beat Hickman in bracket (2-1), lost to Oak Grove (1-2), and took third overall when we beat DeSoto (2-0.) I can't wait to see what our team can do the rest of the season!
Our family celebrated Corrine's 16th birthday at their house, which means my turn is next! School hosted a Back to School Bash and I decided to go. I had so much fun just being goofy and hanging out with my friends. I met Deyton, who takes our volleyball pictures for the yearbook and we had a great time together. We won matching fanny packs and I just enjoyed being myself. I went dress shopping with Lila in Jeff City with her grandma and bought a dress there and one in Columbia. I already have my dress shopping done for homecoming and court warming!
