Happy New Year!

Hello everybody!
Wow! I haven't written anything since last year! (hee hee)

I just got back from winter camp last night, so I'm having trouble keeping my eyes open, even though I did sleep last night. We had an awesome time! The speaker was Rob Iverson, and for one of the sessions we split and his wife, Dawn, taught us girls. The theme of camp was"Resonate". We were focusing on practicing godly actions, so that everything that we do resonates, or reflects, Christ's love. It was really good.
Though the teaching was the highlight of the weekend, I think I may have enjoyed the snow just as much! Somehow, despite all of the warnings, I didn't seriously think that it would snow, so I was really wet and cold just about the whole time we were there. Even so, I was very happy in reliving the memories of past snowball fights. My entire body is sore from it! I had trouble getting out of bed this morning and it is very painfull to merely close a door. Now there's a good explaination of why I was so healthy as a kid; snowballs... hmm...I should throw things more often.
So, I found out, on Wednesday I get spacers put between my back teeth, and then the following Wednesday, I get my mouth filled with metal, ugh! So much for a grown up looking graduation picture! That's not even the worst part, in maybe two years I have to have head gear! I'm glad, though, that I don't have to wear it all the time, that would really suck!
I'd like to get more serious about this skating thing. Suddenly it seems like I'm not serious very often. Everybody says that you can't just figure skate on a whim, and they're absolutely right! and I knew that, but what I didn't realize was that thats exactly what I'm doing! I'm not putting everything into it. So I thought about it for a little while and i'm not ready to give it up, so the blind leading herself here, and I'm going to introduce myself to the true world of an athlete! I just wish I knew what that really looked like! It would be cool if I could find someone who would help me, but not charge me. Well, I guess I'll pray for an "accountability partner" so to speak.
Well I've got to go clean my room, so I'll past again later on in my life!
