'At A Girl

Last night was the first sectional game for Mitchell Volleyball. I went down with Beth, Curt, Abby, Melissa, and Lizzy. The girls played very well. Especially that Burris kid. She had some great digs.

Also shout out to Schlegel who I heard scrape across the floor a couple of times while going after the ball. And to Trev who was a beast last night.

The girls won their first sectional game in 3. They did well, and I know they are all very excited.

Good skill on Saturday, Lady Jackets!!

We picked Abby up on our way to the game last night. She lives out in the middle of no where. Anyway, as we are heading back to the high way we pass this old abandoned house. I freaked out. It was the house where mine and Ashton's trespassing phase started.

One day we decided to just take a drive on the country roads. We just wanted to get lost, and that we did. However, we came across this house. We stopped because there was this old piano sitting on the front porch, and Ashton wanted to take pictures of it. So we got out and took pictures of it, and then walked around the property some. In the back yard there was an old fashioned "dryer". ? It was one of those things that you put a piece of clothing through and crank this thing and it rings all the water out. Whatever those are called. (Wow that sounded super intelligent.) Then we went in the house and looked around, but we didn't stay in there long. The house looked like it could fall over on us at anytime. Anyway, that was the beginning of our trespassing phase.

After the game last night, Rebecca, Jocelyn, Melissa, and Lizzy came to the house and we watched a movie. It was nice to enjoy the excitement of the win with the girls and spend time with them. I needed to be able to experience something happy in such a sad time.

I live for the little moments. The things that seem so small, sometimes, are the things we remember best.

Some positive things from the week:
-Though the circumstance was negative, getting to see Emma and catch up with her was a positive.
-I woke up Tuesday morning to a wall post on my facebook from Destiny.
-I got to watch Glee with Melissa and Rebecca
-Evie got a lot accomplished this week with SADD.
-I have Evie's year book picture options finished.
-Seb and I got to work on a new song, 'In My Suit'. Beat by DC.
-My father sent me the money to pay for Phi Theta Kappa.
-Though I am the 'slow kid' in class, my professor tries to make me feel good about it.
-My mom recorded Grey's and Private Practice for me.
-My dad put gas in my car this week.
-Mitchell won their first sectional game.
-Curt and Beth told me they were proud of me.

Exciting things for this weekend:
-I will be inducted into Phi Theta Kappa tonight.
-I get to see Aaron & Christopher tonight.
-I get to spend time with Sophia tomorrow night.
-Sunday I get to take pictures for Emily & Travis.
-I get to see Ivy and Jalayna Sunday.


Even in dark times, there is light. We just have to open our eyes and see it.
