Thanksgiving Weekend!

-----This Thanksgiving I really realized how grateful i am for my friendships. On Friday the 18th, three of my best friends were in a car crash. If you looked at the car you would think there were serious if not deadly injures inflicted. My friends, Matt, Liam, and Tasia, were all safe with only minor injures. Tasia, who was the most hurt, came out with a minor punctured lung, a broken rib, and a slight scar were the seat belt rubbed against her neck. Liam, who I've known for like forever, came out with a concussion and five staples on the back of his head. and Matt came out with bruising and soreness.
Also on top of that Tatiana, tasia's older sister, who is also one of my friends, had almost come along with them. From the position of the impact, she almost certainly would not have survived if she did. 
 I am so thankful for the amazing friends I have and God's providence over our lives.-----

I really needed that break. Monday I actually slept in after a long night at my Oliver cast party and my volleyball end of season party, and skipped math and acting. 

Tuesday i had my first practice with my MVSA Stars team. (YEAH! SPANDEX!) We played some free ball with the 14 A team. I am really going to enjoy playing with siers this year.

Wednesday I cleaned my room to perfectsion so that i could go hang out with Tasi, Tatiana, Liam and Stephen. We hung out for a while for Chris and megan to come so they could hang for a bit. 
Then we watched The Man Who Knew To Little.
BEST MOVIE EVER! Omg i loved it!
After that we watched Hp part 2. Which we had all seen before so we were making comments and making jokes for parts of it. 
We were done about midnight, and didn't get to bed till 2ish. After 12 we all wished each other "Happy Thanksgiving" 
After staying up till 2 my dad showed up at about 8 o'clock. so i got like no sleep...
At home we relaxed most of the day, as opposed to every other Thanksgiving in the past were we've had 20 or more people over for dinner. We went up to my Grandparent's and had the usual dinner, with football and board games afterward.

On Friday we had a small group of our friends over to have our thanksgiving left overs and to eat kylie's "sexy turkey" which was delicious!
we had a fun night including a campfire, watching Hoodwinked and Pirates 4, and a few musical Jams.

Last but not least, on Saturday I had rehearsal for Acts! It was fun and i learned three new songs.
After that i hung out at the church during the Lead worshipers rehearsal, because i was going ICE SKATING!!!!!
Jewls, Charlotte, Bri and I had a lot of fun.
I only fell once!
(which is really good for me, last time i went with the Allens i fell 18 times.)
Bri unfortunately fell 11 times.

Today I had Video Team, subbing for Jayme. I almost fell asleep twice each service. So now I'm extreamly tired after a very busy YET FUN "Break". 

LOL

I thank God for all my friends, my family and this upcoming holiday season.

Oliver! SO MUCH FUN!


So recently i finished up being in the show Oliver!
I made lots of new friends and learned a lot!
In my dressing room there was 7 girls. Sam, Megan, Julia B. (or 2), Julia F. (obviously 1), Ellie, Kylie, and Me! yup! a very crowded dressing room.
( I don't think they realized we were making funny faces. lol)
Top (left to right): Elli, Julia B, Me!, Kylie
Bottom: Julia F, and Megan

My best friends back stage were Julia B. (13)  Julia F. (14) and Zach H. (17)
This is Kye, Zac (behind kye's head), Sam, and Me! We were haveing fun with pics in the mirror.
Julia B was Bet, Julia F was Dodger, and Zach was Noah.
So I stole his hat. And that is him behind Kye.
(apparently i had my eyes closed)

 I love this Pic! lol

So this is Me with my hair all done up.
I did an inside-out braid all the way around my head.
Apparently it makes me look older along with all the stage make-up.



This is from the dress rehearsal were i only did half way around my head.
The actual show was great. we got a 5 star review after the first weekend and after that had some great crowds. Wish you could have seen it or been in it!
seeya! peace!
