Tiny Update

Well my post Jerusalem life continues.  Haha eventually I will stop calling my life post Jerusalem life... maybe.... Anyway.  A lot of my time has been spent going to water polo games for my baby bro, Ethan.  And wow is he good!  Here is a pic of our little friend Max cheering Ethan on.  So cute!

 I've also been busy cleaning out my room, since I haven't lived in it since high school and all.  And wow did I find some treasures!  Here is one example:

 This is a pic of me with Barbara and Maia at my first youth conference- which means I am 14 in this picture!  It still feels so weird to be back in my bedroom in my parent's house.  I still feel like I am just visiting and will be heading back to Utah soon, but I am here to stay!  It will take a while for me to get used to that.

I also found a wonderful essay that I wrote in the 4th grade called "Born to Win."  And boy was it funny!  Allow me to share an excerpt with you...

"What does born to win mean to you?  If you don't know then I am going to tell you in my own way.  No one on this earth was meant to be born so they could get beat up, bossed around, or even get bad grades.  We were born to become the best and at least try."

Inspired?  And yes, you can quote me on that one....

In other related news- I finally won hearts! (must have been the essay) This probably won't mean a lot to most of you, but let me give you some background so you can appreciate this win with me.  I played hearts every single day in Galilee and then in Jerusalem after we got back from Galilee.  And I did not win ONCE.  It was kinda sad.  I didn't lose a lot, but I just could never win 1st place!  And I could not shoot the moon to save my life.  BUT let me tell you- I played the other night.  Not only did I win, but I won BECAUSE I shot the moon! Intentionally!  haha.  So yeah... I was born to win people!

 Oh, also I high lighted my hair.  I guess I'm a strawberry blonde now.... I'm still getting used to it.  But I like it.  And I think I will continue to like it more and more the more I get used to it.

So yeah... there you have it!  More to come soon
