Stuff

Things that have happened lately:

  • March 15 - Mom left for a girls trip to buy pottery and stuff.
  • March 25 - Dad left for Utah for a medical conference and got to see almost all of our extended family.   (NOT FAIR!)
  • March 31 - We watched the Saturday morning session of General Conference :)
  • Last Week - I have started a huge Greece project in Social Studies  :(
  • March 31 - Ryan and I performed in a Ballroom recital!!!!

We performed at the elementary school along with ballet classes and hip hop classes. Ryan is in Ballroom 3 and I’m in 2.  My class opened the night with our Men in Black routine, then all the other classes went and we did the rest of our dances.  We all wore black pants and a button up shirt with sunglasses for Men in Black and then had a break so the girls could change into their dresses.  We did the Polka, Fox Trot, and Hustle.  -Ryan did really good, although I only saw one of his dances and his practice performance. 

    The Hunger Games

     I recently decided to read The Hunger Games since the movie was coming out and Dad and Ryan liked it.  I made a bet with a boy in my class that I’d finish it by Friday.  (It was a Monday when this happened.) I only had 4 days to read it. I bet him 5 bucks, but he narrowed it down to three and said I had to get a 10/10 on the reading test for The Hunger Games.  Sure enough I finished the book on Thursday night and the next day made a 100 percent on the reading test. If I didn’t finish it I’d have to give him 3 bucks. The next Friday Dad, Ryan, and I saw the movie and Mom started reading it.  (I am borrowing these books from the Chuggs, our best friends.)

Now I’m almost done with Catching Fire, the second book. I LOVE the Hunger Games!!!  It has awesome characters and I’m not going to say anything.  Go read it YOURSELF!

Bye!

Dan and I have not yet seen the Hunger Games movie!! I read the book and Dan listened to it on tape, but we just haven't had a chance to go see the movie. We really want to though! I want to read the second book now too. Your trip to Spain looks so fun!! And I wish we could have seen your ballroom dance performance . . . it sounds awesome!
