Soccer is over! :(

Well soccer is over! Its very weird...towards the end of summer i am totally dreading soccer and telling everybody i hate it....but then when school starts and we start soccer...after our first game I LOVE IT! I guess im weird like that! :) but the tournament was good. The trip down was dissapointing, but the devotions that night with girls helped a lot! and the next night i was able to lead devotions! It was really cool, i felt very lucky! The JV team only won 1 game (8-0) so we only played 3 games and got 5th place but in EVERY game we played our WHOLE team had really good attitudes and we were always happy! It was such a blessing to be able to be surrounded by beautiful scenery, playing soccer with all my friends against CHRISTIAN schools and it was all in the presence of God. Our JV "motto" this year was "We will praise Him when we lose and we will praise Him when we win" and that encouraged all of us so it was really cool! The Varsity team won 2 out of 4 games they play but they also had good attitudes. At the beginning of their games Blaine would yell out "What will we bring Him?" and the rest of the team would yell back "GLORY!". And in the JV games Katie would yell "Who are we playing for?", we would yell back "JESUS!" then she'd say "And what will we bring Him?" "GLORY!" So it was really cool that our schools main focus was to bring God glory and not to win games. On the way home the JV were FORCED to leave early :( Idk why. they let the varsity stay for the awards so yeah. oh well. but anyways on the way home the ride was VERY emotional and had LOTS of drama :( but included with that i was able to have a very good devotional with Catie Danielle Chelsie and Drew! it was really cool. well i think ive said enough :)

another update :) :D :b d:)->--<

Well i havent posted in awhile...so i thought id update a bit. Ive been pretty busy with school these past couple of weeks! I just finished a paper on medieval times that was 979 words long. the requirement was 750 words.

Tomorrow the Jr.High and High School will be leaving for the much awaited Soccer Tournament! Every year the Varsity team and Jr.Varsity/Jr.High team go down to Anchorage for about 3-4 days. We play against christian schools in Alaska! Its always fun and "memory making" time! We will be leaving around 1:00,which is after Choir class! The trip is like 6 hours long and guess what.....NO ELECTRONICS!! That includes CD Players, Ipods, Zunes, Laptops, DVD PLayers, Gameboys, etc....and much to my dismay CELL PHONES!!! They dont want us singleing off into our own world with music or something...which I do understand its just......6 hours!! but this will be my 4th tournament so i guess ill live :)

This is a pic of the Varsity playing a practice game with....Cornerstone i think.

My dad left about an hour ago to head to Iraq. :( He'll be gone for like 10 months! So we will all miss him! So please keep my family and him in your prayers! It will be very much appreciated!

Thats about all thats happened! so...yuppers! Love you all! Ill post back and let you guys know how the Tourny went!!

SCHOOL :b

Weellll...good ole school has started up once again! School started on August 20 (which was a wednesday...weird) but i was camping so i missed the first 3 days of school...so my first day was on the 25th but i left early on the following thursday to head down to Valdez! So i got to skip Biology!!! lol This year for my classes im taking World History with Miss Alisa :D, Writing and Grammer with Mr. Sterling, Consumer Math(im homeschooling this subject), Life-Making and Changing Decisions with Mr.Taylor, Choir with Mrs. Weed, Biology with Mr. Donaldson, and Soccer with Mr.Sterling!! So i have a hectic scdeule this year!!

Soccer is going a LOT better then i expected! Our first game was last Tuesday! I was a starting forward! And i had never been a forward before! So i was freakin out when coach said "Kaitlin, left forward!" but after i subed out he said i was doing a great job. But...we lost....but it was because we all got tired!! So this week we really stepped up on the running and today we played against our schools Varsity team! We did GREAT!! Neither team scored any goals so it was a pretty even game! It was kinda funny seeing all them get aggravated at each other cause they werent totally dominating us like they usually do!

We just had our student council elections! Katie Bryan is our class representative!!! WOO HOO!! And our school president is TIM ARMSTRONG!! Finally someone new!!

Go Timmy-bobby-boo!! lol

This year is going pretty well. Im getting along better with alot of my guy friends so thats always fun... Me and Blaine are picking on each other a bunch sooo...yeah! we had little water fight today..lol i soaked him then poured out the bottle right before he got it on me! So yeah i won! And Joel keeps on purposely freaking me out by staring at me!!

Im already having to deal with drama!! so like that STINKS!!

But an awesome thing about this year is my best friend Thomas is going to school with us! So its awesome having him around to help keep a smile on my face and be my.."mentor" i guess you coul say :D and tutor! lol

One thing that i really miss is having my big brother come eat lunch with me! Because of his new job he has a different lunch time and he works in North Pole and the school is in Fairbanks :( so thats a major bummer!

Oh and one last thing i wanna mention..............

WE MISS YOU MISS PAM!!!!
