District Finals!

Yesterday was district finals for Bible Quizzing. I was on a totally stacked team (my church has the biggest quizzing program in the district so our top team generally is the best in the district and I was on it) because I made the team as the fifth and the final person. We won the finals and another team from our chuch won third place. Because we won the finals we get to go to the Regional Bible Quiz in boston and I think that it is paid for by the District since we are going as their first team. We would have had to pay for it if we only had gotten second. Then there was the top 12 quiz off to dicide on who got to be on the All-star team from our district. I was 13th place but someone dropped out and I managed to be in the quiz-off and made the all-star team. That means that now not only do I represent our church by being on the local team for Regionals but I also represent the whole district on the all star team, how cool is that?

Thirty Hour Famine

Ok so my youth group is doing this thing called the thirty hour famine. Basically we get sponsers to help raise money and then on Febuary 28th we don't eat for 30 hours. We are raising money for a country in Africa that is having a drought (I think its Malawi) to help feed the people there. $1 dollar feeds a child for a day.

Any donations would be greatly appreciated.

Ice Day!

The good news... I got out of school today :) The bad news... it was ice not snow :( Oh well its better than nothing

Yeah I know, I was supposed to blog a while ago

Anyway my Ravens watch that I got at the Maust Christmas this year is *dramatic backround music* BROKEN! The latch broke off while I was walking and talking with my friend.

Anyway I'm really ticked off right now because we finally got snow last Thursday. The only problem, I WAS ALREADY OFF SCHOOL THAT DAY!!!! It was a teacher inservice day or someother nonsence like that and the snow melted before I was awake the next day. I kept my cool though and went on with my life. Then I heard we had an 80% chance of snow yesterday. We got nothing. Then I heard there was a 60% chance of snow last night. And of course, we got nothing. I am so upset now. Sigh, at least we have a 40% chance of snow tommorow night. Yeah right, like I believe that any more.

Sadly still no pictures

Yes I know you must all be tramatized that I still have no pictures of my dull, dull life to post but alas it can't be helped. Anywho I got 3rd individual place in a bible quiz in Virginia and my team got 6th out of 17 teams even though we only had two people able to make it. Another team from my church won the whole tournament.

I am eating popcorn right now.

Its not fair!

Its just not fair, over at Grandma and Grandpa's they got plenty of snow, but here 3 hours away, we got nothing! I so didn't want to go to schoo this week but I had to.... sigh...

What do a 7-10 split and a golfer have in common?

According to my dad it is hard for golfers to pick up a 7-10 split

We were watching my dad, Jason and Luke (I wish I had pictures) playing Wii bowling on my Wii and I think it was Jason who got a 7-10 split and my dad immediatly commented "A 7-10 split! Those are hard for a golfer to pick up"

Yeah, we made fun of him the rest of the day :-)
