Cross Country

Cross Country is a very important part of my life. I always put my very best into so much sometimes that I scare my parents by how hard I push my self. Like one time I got so dehydrated that every time I would eat or drink I would feel like I was going to throw up or pass out at one my parents even told me it might be a good idea to quit. But cross country is so important to me I could never quit and cross country is one of those sports that you have to be prepared for anything because you never know what your going to run into but I love it and no matter what I will always stick with it.

                                                 

  

Tape Measure

If I could use this tape measure for anything I wanted to I would probably use it for measuring how many times I have to run around my neiborhood to get to a mile. I am a cross country runner so I like to practice by running at least a mile around my neiborhood but I don't know exactly how long I have to run. So for now I am just making a guess.

Midnight 

I opened my eyes as my dog started barking. I got out of my chair and walked into the kitchen to see what time it was it was midnight. As I led my dog to the door (thinking that he might have to use the bathroom) I walked by the living room window and I noticed that it was opened. So I went over to close it and what I saw next was so horrifying that my blood ran cold a face was staring right back at me.  

My Favorite Memory

If I had to pick one memory that was the best it would probably be the time we went on vacation to Florida.

One day my mom decided that we needed a vacation. So we all talked about it and decided that we would go to Florida and invite the whole family to come along. So we packed up our things and started the eighteen hour (day and a half) trip to Florida from our house since my mom decided that we would go by car because taking a plane was to expensive. 

We finally arrived at our resort after almost two days of driving. The first thing that we did was eat dinner and then we all changed into our swimsuit and jump into the pool. We didn't get out of the pool until the manager kicked us out for being to loud (because it was like 11:00 p.m.). So we went to bed. The next day we went to Disney world and Epcot until we got really tired. Then we decided to go to the beach to relax. The next day we had to leave so yeah I was sad but I just hoped we would come back soon.

So that would probably be my favorite memory and I hope I never forget it.

                                       

My Crazy Move from Branson

Well it all started when I was sitting in my room one day and I heard the phone ring and my mom answer it. My dad had been trying to get a job with union pacific railroads so that he would make more money and the month before he had 3 weeks before he had had a interview. My mom said started yelling for my dad and I kind of freaked out not knowing what was happening and I ran up the stairs just as my dad was hanging up and he had got the job.

With in the next month things were crazy we sold our house and packed up all our things just to find the dilemma that we had no where to move to. So after staying in a hotel for a few nights we decided to rent a house in Edwardsville,IL. 

We spent about 6 months there before my parents told me that they had found the perfect home for us in a town called Festus. I was really scared because I had already moved once and I didn't want to do it again but I new I didn't really have a choice. Every weekend for the next month we would bring stuff to the house that was now ours and I soon grew fond of it and soon we moved in and school started. So here I am now hoping that my parents don't make me move again but who knows I might have another adventure coming my way.

Day off School

I think that we should have no school on veterans day because we should get to spend time with our family, especially if there are veterans in your family. If we really want to learn about veterans day we should ask someone we know that is a veteran. So that is what I think about having school on veterans day.
