I have been accepted for the E-Trip to Mexico with my church in August. I am so grateful and happy... I can't wait!!!

Amazing Grace And Basketball

Another movie was seen with my family (minus Mark of course) yesterday. It was about William Wilberforce and his God-given mission to stop slave trade. The actor who portrayed Wilberforce is the same guy who played Horatio Hornblower in a PBS movie. Anyway,the movie was ok. There was some funny parts,but it wasn't actioned packed excitement. My Mom liked it though,she is a big lover of "Inspirational" movies.


So Jamie had a basketball tournament. The game that was supposed to have started thirty minutes before we got there hadn't,so I ended up watching three games. After an hour or so it was time for Jamie and his teams' turn to play. I had a father of one of Jamie's teammates sitting a row or two behind me who HAD to scream at the referees about what a bad job they were doing the whole time. Also there was another father from the other team doing the same thing. I told Mom the two guys should team up and have a grumbling/screaming at the refs section all to them selfs. I was so annoyed the whole time having to hear all that crap coming from the father sitting behind me,sometimes I felt like turning around and slapping him. I didn't but I was sure tempted. The game was pretty tight all the way through,Jamie's team the Patriots won which meant they would be playing another game in thirty minutes against Millwood Gold. So once the game started it was real tight all the way through. The father who wouldn't shut up moved down wind and to the lowest bleacher so I couldn't hear him so much. I did get to hang out with my favorite little guy at KCC so far:six year old Micah. Micah,his brother,his friend and I played "guess what I am drawing". It was fun,it kept my mind off of the game and made it all pass by faster. Well Jamie's team lost but they got a runner up trophy. It was too late to "celebrate" (as in go to a restaurant) so hopefully we may do that today.....

Bridge To Terabithia And Previews

Today with my whole family(except for Mark of course) went to see the book movie that is called "The Bridge To Terebithia". Believe it or not it isn't that bad of a movie. It was sorta sad,creepy and a little weird but it was good. I had read the book,maybe a year ago cause I had heard it was "one of the classics". So I went to the movie expecting several clauses from the book prospective. The movie followed very closely to the book. I could have sworn the ending wasn't as depicted in the book but Mom looked it up and it was the same. The boy who plays Jess in the movie is going to be in a movie coming soon called "Firehouse Dog" or something like that. Also a Nancy Drew movie with Emma Roberts and that blonde haired dude from "Catch That Kid" who's-name-I-don't-know.



(EDIT: The movie's end had scenes in a different order than the book,that is why it seemed "fishy")

What Up With Virginia Weather?!?

Ok,honestly people,everywhere else around us had some form of snow. We have had two half inch "snow storms" that lasted for like a half an hour so far this Winter season. I mean I don't want a horridnessly large snow storm of great proportion or anything. Just a few inches or more of nice snow to eat for snow cream. Mom said that it snowed a whole lot in March one time. Maybe there is still hope of a decent snow this year....
