Best Friends.

A Best Friend, what is it? "A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart,and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words." Well to me it is someone who you have fun with, doing what ever little things keep you occupied whether it be picture taking or talking or looking at funny jokes together playing wii, or other games, what ever it may be if you do it with your best friend it is sure to be fun. My best friend is none other then Breanna Lindsey Jones. The picture taking often applies to us, we have so many pictures together that we would not possibly be able to find a scrapbook big enough for all of them. We also play Wii games such as Just Dance and Glee Sing It. These are just a couple of memorable past times in our 11 years of being best friends. But Best friends are often there for other things as well, from break ups to get togethers, from love advice, and religion advice, to fashion tips and make up. We have been through all of the above together and I am sure that there will more to come. Don't get me wrong we have had our differences and rough patches but we always talk them out and get through them. All I know is that throughout my so far two and half years of high school that I have no idea what I would have done without her. The plan is to stay this way for the next couple years, and I hope that wherever we end up for college (hopefully UK rooming together) we will be near and never far apart. Although there is the saying, "I've learned that true friendship grows even with the farthest distance in between, always together never apart maybe in distance but never in heart."

That's retarded!

That’s retarded! Now you don’t always think about how much those two little words may apply or hurt someone. There are different meanings to these words. It can mean that is stupid or dumb; this meaning is harmless and doesn’t have much depth to them. But it can also mean literally mentally retarded or slow, this could offend someone who has personal attachments to someone who is mentally handicapped. Often times these words can make an impact in the wrong way even though that isn’t how we meant them at all.

Parrttttaaayyyyyy! (:

Soo YEAH! Yesterday was my birthday! I mean you know that one day of the year where for 24 hours it is all about you, and you get gifts and have fun time? Yeah well that was yesterday, January 12th, 2011! But yesterday was even more special than usual because school was OUT! We had a snow day on my birthday how perfectly splendid! I got to spend the day at home with my family, and a dear friend Josh, always the occasional drop in of friends to wish me well on my fun day was great too! I went sledding and then had a nice meal at Cheddars! Where the waitor brought me a massive thing of ice cream so that I could celebrate even more! I was extremely excited! I recieved a brand new expensive touch screen camera for my 17th birthday (something mind you that I was not expecting at all!) All in all, it was a wonderful birthday that I will never forget.

Year 2011

2011
For some reason I think that this year is going to be a good one! I don't know why, but there is just this feeling in the back of my mind that is telling me with some extremely good friends and gymnastics around me that memories will be made, and we will have gone places that I didn't even think of. Maybe me and Breanna will get to drive her dad's brand new camaro, or Will and I will battle it out on Just Dance 2 ( which I of course will win), I just may have to go and watch some of Luke and Austin's tennis matches, have epic conversations with my Ginja Ninja Connor, and  maybe even a basketball game or two. The choir begins new songs that go with the coming season, and I am very excited to be doing the version that GLEE does of the song "Don't stop believing".  Church is going well and maybe my news years resolution this year of not texting and driving will be kept. There is so much coming up that I don't even know where to start. All I know is that I am extremely excited for what is to come!

Kicking gymnastics off

For the beginning of the gymnastics season and the year of 2011 I would say that my first gymnastics competition was a hit! For the first time ever I had an audience of friends that had accompanied me to this meet, Abigail, Breanna, Quinn, Shon, Connor, Brittany, Alexis, and my mother were an awesome cheering squad! I recieved a 7.3 on bars, which for the beginning of the season and considering it is my worst event, and my first year at level nine wasn't to bad at all! I got a 9.0 on floor after doing the routine of my life, and landing tumbling passes that I never imagined I would land at the first meet. I did a extremely good beam routine and got a 8.9. My vault was something to be reckoned with doing one good vault scoring a 8.4 and another vault landing on my back and getting voided (recieving no score) but it was defintily a learning process and will continue to get better as the year goes on! Hopefully later on I will be able to write to you about State and maybe even Regionals!!

My Poem (A purpose, a way of life, a ray of hope)

Stitches;

One complete movement of a threaded needle through a fabric or material,

A sense of wholeness in a place that feels broken,

Healing; full of love,

A lifeline,

A purpose, a way of life, a ray of hope,

Stitches, leave scars and heal with time.
