Brittany is Awesome

Brittany is so cool. She is awesome too! Britt is the best cheerleader in the entire world. She is very loud and obnoxious which makes her an amazing cheerleader. She is super nice and fun to talk to. I love Brittany so much. Brittany has brown hair and brown eyes. She is also very short. Brittany is one of the coolest people in the world! She's a great friend! I am sitting next to Brittany because she is just so awesome. Sometimes she's so awesome that I can't be around her because I'm not awesome enough. It's very hard to be as awesome as Brittany.



I Love Brittany



Cupid

That's weird thought Cupid. I've never hit the wrong person like that before. It all started when I was doing my job, sitting on top of a building shooting people with love arrows. Then as I was about to shoot, a bird randomly fell out of the sky above me. As I let go of the arrow, the bird almost knocked me over! I quickly sat back up and looked down at the arrow. It hit the wrong person! This was the first time this has ever happened to me. I didn't know what to do! Now the person I hit with the arrow would fall in love with the wrong person! I had to fix this, but I had no idea what to do.

Cross Country Meets

The first cross country meet that I ran at was the Bowels Invitational. I also ran at St. Gen on Tuesday. I medaled at both! At Bowels I got 17th place and at St. Gen I got 19th place. St. Gen is one of the hardest meets all season because there is about 9 really steep hills. The next meet that I get to run at is next Tuesday at Hillsboro. The Hillsboro course is really fun, but it is also very crowded because we start our race right after the boys, so we are all running together. Last year at Hillsboro I got 17th place, this year I want to get in the top 15. I can't wait to run on Tuesday!

Tape Measure

When I see the picture of the tape measure I think about sewing. When we were in F.A.C.S last year we had to measure out fabric in order to get the right amount for our pillow. We measured out tons of little squares and sewed them together. Using a tape measure when sewing is really important because you need to make sure that everything is the same size. If you don't make sure that everything is the same size, your pillow or whatever you are sewing won't end up looking very nice.

Bowels Meet

This Saturday is the Bowels meet! It is the first cross country meet that I get to run. This meet is fun because it is our home meet so we know the course very well. I am really excited that I get to run but I am also very nervous. Running is fun, but I hate going to meets because I get very nervous before the race. After the race is over I always feel like I accomplished something. Last year at the Bowels meet I got 17th place out of over one-hundred people. This year I really want to get in the top 15.

Memories

If I could bottle up any memory that I wanted to, The memory that I would bottle up would be the time I went to church camp. At church camp me and my best friend had a great time! We made a lot of new friends and become closer friends! At church camp we did tons of fun stuff. We had a two-hundred foot slip in slide, played capture the flag in the dark and afterwards had to jump in the pool to make sure that any oils from poison ivy weren't on our skin. It was the best week all summer! I will never forget the great times me and my best friend had at camp.

Cross Country

Cross country is the best sport in the world! The first cross country meet is this Saturday at Forest Park. Forest Park is one of the biggest meets all season. The first meet that I get to run in is Bowels. Bowels is the second meet and it's our only home meet. The course is at West City Park and it's about 1.7 miles. Running cross country is fun because you get to run with your friends. Being part of a team is a really good feeling because the whole team is like one giant family. I love running cross country!

 Labor Day is always the first Monday of September. The first Labor Day was September 5, 1882. No one is sure of who founded the holiday, but most think it was either Peter McGuire or Matthew McGuire. The holiday is dedicated to American workers. It is a yearly holiday to appreciate the hard work of American citizens. Read more here.
