School's Out, Summer's here!

Hey everyone. I'm so excited. School is over! I have been waiting since August. We had a great party and went swimming for the last day of school. I can't wait to make summer plans and to have a great time. Also only 46 more days until my birthday, so keep that in mind. Here are the top ten things that happened this week.
1. Went Swimming!
2.Had a Late Night Party
3. Stayed the night at Camilla's
4. Had no homework
5. Dicected frogs
6. Talent show on Wednesday was fantastic
7. Garage Sale on Saturday
8. Ate at Subway
9. Got a tan
10. The worst thing my Facebook got shut down:(
Over all this week was pretty good. For number 10 I couldn't think of anything else good so I just had to put something bad. I don't know why it was shut down, but it was:(

Oh, before I forget, one funny story. When I got home from church I was so hungry because we didn't get home until 3. I changed as fast as I could. I just threw on an old shirt. As I walked out my bedroom door I realized I had put my arm through the hole in the armpit. I felt really embarrised because I had been wearing that shirt as a gym shirt and hadn't realized the hole was that large, oh well. Have a great week.

5/8/09

May 1- May 7

Friday- We had our conference track meet. I placed in our 800medley relay and I placed in shot put. Over all we got first.


Saturday- Relaxed, and was really sore. We moved pipe all day long... Very tiring. I thought it would never end. I wasn't even needed so it was even worst because I was so mad that I couldn't enjoy being outside. Also I could have been resting.


Sunday- It was fast Sunday. Our ward had a special fast for all the members who were ill, and injured. I had BYC. We discussed, the talent show this week and youth conference. We also planned a day of fun at the park during June. When that was done we came home to a crock pot dinner of shredded potatoes and cheese. (Recipe below).


Monday- When to school and started MAP testing, which test how we improve during the year. No More Track!


Tuesday- Still MAP testing. We had a music concert in which we played instruments and did a line dance. Learned next Wednesday we are doing a play.


Wednesday- Went to see the Governor. Our school had one a bronze medal out of the USA for its performance. He came to talk to us. For Young Women's we made mothers day cards that really turned out neat.


Thursday- Relaxing day. The cat came back. We had not seen our cat for about a week and were getting afraid that she would not return. She came back very hungry though and lonely. It meowed all night.
