a quick update of my life. not a lot has happened since this summer. i got my drivers lisence & ive been driving to school everyday. in the fall i decided to try cross country. i didnt like it very much but i stayed in it for the whole season. about mid september i broke up with my "boyfriend" who i had been "dating" for over a year. a little while after that the guy that i have liked since i pretty much met him asked me out. about a month later he broke up with me. we are still good friends though. marching season in band was pretty awsome. this witer i gave up competitive cheerleading. this winter im am going to do indoor soccer. i can't wait for that. since cross country started i have been running at least once a week to get in shape for soccer. im very nervous about soccer this year. 43 girls signed up for soccer. we have never had that many people before. im afraid that im going to get cut from the team. this week has been pretty boring. monday we had a 2 hour delay. that was cool. i can' wait until friday. theres a basketball game(the band plays at the game) and a dance. thats pretty much it unless u want to hear about my school work.

Monday was soooooooo sad!!!!!! i went to school like any other day. 1st block was normal, second block was normal except at the end wen people were saying that there was a fatal. mat was talking about it he was like "if its devin im going to be so mad. at the very end of that class a couple girls were called out of class and came back in crying. they had found out who died but the only thing i heard was "his brother". right after class in the hallway everyone was talking about it. it turned out it was devin. it didnt really hit that one of my classmates had died until lunch which was like 45 mins later. i was trying to comfort my friend wen she yelled at me "ITS NOT OK SOMEONE DIED!!!!!!!! thats wen i started to cry. the whole school was either crying or very quiet. everything was cancled that day, after school activities were postponed, and all sports practies this week were optional. later that day after my brother got home he swallowed a ball bareing. or however thats spelled. wen he told me i called 911 people came and looked at him he was pretty much ok but they told us to take him to the emergency room so we did. after that i went to a church service for devin and his brother kade. it was very sad. the visitation is today and the funeral is tommorrow. thats pretty much all that happened this week.

hey! its been forever. i havent been on line in forever. so ya i think my last blog was about my birthday. it wasnt all that special. just like any other birthday ive ever had. i went to go see the movie happy feet for my birthday with my friends. also the day of my birthday i got together with my moms side of the family. that was fun. ya a couple weekends ago i went to grand rapids for my borther hockey tournament. it was pretty cool cause it was a blizzard. id never been in a blizzard until then. the weekend before that i went ice skating with taco, micheal, and michelle. that was fun but the best part was wen we came back to the house and just sat downstairs and talked for hours. last weekend i went to solo and ensamble. i played a duet with my friend jamie, we got a 2! so nothing else has really happened since then.
