Tomorrow is my first cross country meet of the year. I am a little nervous but not as much as i usually am. We are running on the new course and we aren't liking it as much as our old course but we were also spoiled by having such a nice course before. Today we got our warm up t-shirts and had a spaghetti dinner which was a lot of fun. Next spaghetti dinner is at my house! So tomorrow at 5:00 think about me running up the hills! I don't have a good picture of a meet from last year so here is a picture of yesterday's sunrise.

Wordless Wednesday

Back to School:(

On Thursday we go back to school. I AM NOT READY TO GO BACK. I had a really great summer! This afternoon I went to Freshman orientation and walked my classes and met my teachers. I am happy that on Thursday I don't have to go to early morning classes!

Some summer highlights were...

• Teen arts bloopers



• Teen arts in general



• Starting Cross Country



• Getting my school permit! (My mom doesn't like the high insurance)



• Family vacation to Colorado



• Mission trip to Mexico



• Steven Curtis Chapman/Jeremy Camp concert!

Some goals I have for this year....

• Getting up at 6 to do my quiet time with God.



• Do my best in cross country (That won't be hard)



• Get to bed at a reasonable time.



• Keep my locker clean (At least my half)



• To TRY and stay positive about band. key word try
