Lads to Leaders Convention 2014

I had so much fun at Lads to Leaders this year just like always! I got first place on my webpage, second place on my painting, second place on my scrapbook, and Jonathan Bourland platinum in Good Samaritans. I want to thank everyone for supporting me in everything I do. It means more then they will ever know. I would also like to congratulate everyone on their awards. If you didn't place or win anything in a certain event you competed in don't worry about it. You are a winner in God's eyes and that's all that matters! I'm already excited and ready to start preparing for next year! I hope that all of you will go back and participate and we will all get to see each other again! One of the best parts of the whole convention is that we get the chance to continue to learn how to grow as Christians and as leaders. The other is being able to be around all of the Christians. I know at the convention in Nashville we are getting the opportunity to be around almost 10,000 Christians of all ages which is so encouraging!

My Mama

My mom is my best friend. I love her so much. We might not agree on everything but we stick by each others sides. My mom is s single mom which I know has to get tough some times. She has to be at band meetings, softball games, and be at work all at the same time. I love when my mom comes to my games. She never misses a game unless she absolutely has too. She is a great person, a loyal christian, my best friend and my hero.

No More Finger Splint

Well I went to the orthopedic today and he said I don't have to wear a splint on my finger anymore. I have to work on working out the soreness in it and I can go back to playing softball. I don't think he knew how happy he made me when he said that. Can't wait until our next game now!

Wisdom Teeth

I had my wisdom teeth cut out this past Friday. I'm not scared of dentist but I am scared of being put to sleep so the experience wasn't the best thing in the world. The pain was terrible and still is. I am really glad and grateful that I had my mom there with me then and here with me now. She has helped me a whole lot.

Game Ball

Last tuesday I got my first game ball! Our JV team had won the game and since I got the first run I got one of the game balls. I was so excited! That was a really good night. I was catching and one of the other teams players hit a foul ball and I caught it getting the girl out. This was the first foul ball I've ever caught! Usually when I try and catch them they drop right in front of my glove. I was so shocked. I'm really glad we have the coaches that we have.

Area Wide Youth Retreat

This past weekend I went to an area wide youth retreat at Indian Creek Youth Camp. It was so much fun! I'm the oldest in my youth group so it was really fun to be able to spend time around kids my age. We got put into teams. My teams name was the orange monkeys. We did games with our teams, had worship services, bible classes, and on Saturday night we had a bonfire and sung church songs around the fire in the rain. I really enjoyed all the Christian fellowship and made a lot of new friends.

Mpa

Mpa stands for music performance assessment. It's where you prepare pieces of music and then go play them for judges plus sight read a piece of  music that you have never seen before.  I'm in the symphonic band at Minor. We were the only band in Jefferson County to get all ones with distinctions. So glad to be a Minor tiger band member. A lot of hard work and determination paid off.
