Heya
Everyone needs to come to our play! The performances are Thursday, April 28 and Friday, April 29, 7 p.m. at in the new basement at 2nd RPC. If you need directions just leave me a note. And if you didn't already know - I play Beth March! :)
Tonight my dad took me out to dinner. We didn't get to go to the father/daughter banquet because I had my lifeguarding class. We went to P.F. Cheung's in Castleton. It's a really nice (and expensive) Chinese restaurant. I really liked it. Then we went to Sam's Club and walked around looking at stuff. That was fun too.
Tomorrow I'm going to my brother Andrew's special Olympics swim meet. I haven't been to one of their practices yet this season because I've had so much other stuff going on on Monday nights, though I have worked with him on some of his swimming after swim team in the mornings. His best stroke is butterfly - and he's swimming the 50 fly tomorrow.

Stuff
Swim Team started back up this week - we had a break for like 2 weeks. Morning Practices start next week. Which since we're starting back I'm gonna try to go to 2 practices a day - though I don't know how the rest of my schedule will work out. And Life Guarding started this week too, so I skipped choir on Tuesday an Wednesday to go to that. It's been interesting - there are 3 guys and 6 girls. All the girls I know either from swim team or well... I just know Jessica. Tomorrow we're going to learn CPR, which should be very interesting. And then on Monday - Chris has to rescue me and I have to really struggle and like try to drown her.... that should be fun. :)
Tonight is SONrise and I heard we're making movies or something like that. I think I'll have to sleep at least a little bit because I have class tomorrow, but its no fun if everybody else gets to stay up and you have to sleep - so I guess I'll see. Should be fun anyway. :) And I'm not going to say anymore or else I'll have nothing to update about next time. :)
Oh and I updated my links - Sorry it took me so long Sara!!! Luv ya

Anything is possible
Yesterday Amanda Beard - an Olympic swimmer - pulled out of the World Swimming Trials because her 200 individual medley record was broken by a 15-year-old girl. Katie Hoff of Abingdon, Md. Her time was 2 minutes 11.24 seconds. I find this so encouraging that 1) She actually made it and broke a record and 2) she's 15. I guess its also kinda discouraging, because I'm not anywhere close to that fast right now, but knowing she worked hard to get there and she did well, is motivation enough to do it too. :)
Monday I'll be downtown at the Natatorium singing the national anthem with my choir. So hopefully I'll get to see a little bit of the swimming. I would go to the whole thing, but it costs $40... and all the money I have is like pledged to a cause. :)
EDIT:
I just got back from a wonderful evening downtown at the Nat. It was very exciting, first my choir sang, and then my friend Charity Osborne and I decided to stay and watch the swimming, which was VERY cool. Afterwards we bought swim caps and waited for the swimmers to come up so we could get their autographs. And then we waited FOREVER to get Michael Phelps... but we finally did. And we also got pictures with Chairty's picture phone, which I will post as soon as she sends them to me.
The coolest part though was when I got to meet Katie Hoff. Its kinda scary to think she's the same age as me, like she's a freshman in highschool and she's actually THAT good. Well I have to go to bed now, so as soon as I get the pictures I will post them!!!!
And I have to go... I'm going shopping!!!! :)

Congratulations!!!!!
Today is St. Paddy's Day!!!
This morning my little brother Daniel went and ran the Shamrock Run Downtown... 5 miles and his time was 40:56. He got first place in the 11 and under age group. And he received a glass beer mug... :)
On Monday our family got 12 duck eggs. Which are in incubator in my mom and dad's room. It should be fun to see them hatch, and when we have 12 little ducks running around our house, you should all come and see them. :)
EDIT: I also got a xanga site :) go here

Divisionals!!!!!!
I found out this morning that I made divisional times at my last swim meet!!!! That means that I get to go to a special meet on the 4th and 5th of March. The thing about this meet is, if you make certain times you can go to state, which is another special meet, that means you could be one of the best swimmers in the state!!!! I'm swimming the 50 free and the 200 breast. I qualified in the 100 free too, but I'd have to swim it on Sunday, so I won't be swimming it. I want to invite all you people to come watch.... I'll keep you updated on what time and exactly where. :)

Fainting
This morning was interesting. I usually wake up at 4:30 am to go to swim team, which starts at 5:15. My alarm went off and I got out of bed and packed all my stuff in my swim team bag. Then I got back and in bed and thought "I can sleep for like 15 more minutes". But when I woke up it was 5:10 and so I got out of bed and ran upstairs two by two and was like "Mom, should I go, or should I not". And I felt really dizzy and then next thing I knew my head felt like it was going to explode!!!!!! She said she heard a huge thunk and then heard me scream and start crying. My mom walked me back down to bed and I didn't go swimming after all. Its been like a year since I last fainted.
What's your fainting story?

Recording and Duct Tape
This evening I got to go with the Indianapolis Children's Choir (ICC) to a recording studio in Zionsville. Mr. Leck - our director - wanted us to record a Christmas CD, with all the music we sang for our Christmas concert in December. It was a very interesting experience. For all the people out there who think recording is cool... It is awesome!!!! Except when you're squished in a room with 200 other kids. :) After 4 hours of recording, I am excited for the CD to come out.
I don't know how many people get the newspaper or read "let it out", but on Wednesday somebody had this awesome comment that I just HAD to post because I love it!!! :) Luv all you people and thanks for commenting on my blog!!! :)
"Duct tape is like 'The Force.' It has a dark side and a light side and holds the universe together."

Super Bowl!!!!!
I found this really cool article in the Butler Collegian that talked about all the Super Bowl basics... like what they play for, how much tickets cost and who the halftime entertainment is. I thought this list of things Americans go through on Superbowl Sunday was really funny...
Typically, Americans go through:
- An estimated 14,500 tons of chips and 4,000 tons of popcorn
- 8 million pounds of guacamole
- About 3,312,000,000 bottles of beer
- Antacid sales increase 20 percent the next day
I'm not a huge Superbowl fan, but I'll watch it anyway... here is your pop quiz about the trophy they play for:
The Lombardi Trophy is named for:
(a) Pete Rozelle, former commissioner of the NFL.
(b) Joe Montana, ex-quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers.
(c) Vine Lombardi, former coach of the Green Bay Packers and Washington Redskins.
(d) William "Refrigerator" Perry, former defensive lineman for the Chicago Bears.
Answer: (Duh)

Good News and Bad News
I am updating, and the real reason is becuase Mary Hovee said I should!!! :)
The Good News is I'm dying... please comment on that! :)
And the Bad News is that I have to swim the 400 IM at the next Rivi meet. Now that might not sound that bad, but its 4 laps of each stroke.... fly, back, breast and free. I've also never swam it before so Therese had to make up a time : 6:6:99 yd. Just pray that I'll do well.
And I'm going boarding on Friday, having fun skipping class!!! :)
Thanx everybody for all the comments on my last post! I had an awsome birthday!!!! :)

WorldView
I take a WorldView class every Friday afternoon. The past two weeks we've been reading "Know Why You Believe" by Paul Little. We've been discussing all the questions non-believers have and how to respond to them! One of the chapters is titled "Why does God allow suffering and evil." Our dilemma is:
Either God is all-powerful but not all-good and therfore doesn't want to stop evil... or : God is all good but unable to stop evil; therefore He is not all powerful.
A Christian Response: (I love this)
"One reason sin and suffering flourish, results from sin's being treated like a cream puff instead of a rattlesnake. "
That makes me think... so I thought I share it. Please comment.

Homeschool Moment
I don't know how many of you people read the "Homeschooling Today" magizine. I usually don't but my mom suggested reading this and I thought it was really cute and funny. I thought I'd share it with all of you!! :)
My two young sons and I were studying Genesis 1. I paused occansionally to explain what various things meant. When we got to verse 27, (male and female he created them) I paused and asked the boys if they knew what male and female meant. They both said yes, but they had confused looks so I asked my four-year-old to explain it for us. He said, "male is when you send a letter in the mailbox and female is when you send a letter on the computer. Females are lots faster than males." - Rachael Varblow
It's that cute?

Challenge
I have a challenge to start the New Year.
Last Sunday James Faris said something about reading through the Bible in one year. I am going to do that. Jessica Young already said she would, and I want to know how many other people will make the commitment. It's only the 6th today, so you'd only be less than a week behind. I have a guideline thing that I can e-mail you or give to you if you decide to do it. It's not hard, you read one passage from the Gospels, one from Psalms/Proverbs, one from the Old Testament and one from the epistles. Please comment!!!!

I have a guideline thing that I can e-mail you or give to you if you decide to do it. It's not hard, you read one passage from the Gospels, one from Psalms/Proverbs, one from the Old Testament and one from the epistles. Please comment!!!!

Happy Birthday Philip!!
Today is my little brother Philip's birthday! He's 10.
This weekend I have a big swim meet at the nat! I should be excited, but I'm not. This time Therese only signed me up for events on Friday and Saturday, and the one event that I really liked last time ( the 50 free ) is on Sunday! :(
So, on Friday I'm swimming the 500 free, for non-swimming people that is 20 laps. The time on the sign-up sheet thingy said 7:06:89, today I went and swam to see if I could make that time, and I'm not sure, I swam the 500 3 times, because I'm also having problems with the flip turns, that's 18 flip turns. So anyway you can pray for me that my 500 would go well.
The rest of my events: 200 free, 100 fly, 100 breast, 100 free, I'm not worried about, unless they are in a different order and I have to swim the 100 fly last, I don't think i'd be able to get my arms out of the water the last 25.
That's about all, I can't wait for Christmas break and WC! :) TTFN
Question of the day:
What's your favorite sport? - Swimming
Why? - Because I love it/ and I'm bad at every other sport! :)

Thursday
Thurdays are always busy! I usually go to swim-team from 5:15-6:30 because we actually swim on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but this morning I didn't go... I stayed home and studied for my Biology test, which went okay, but enough about school.
I read this story out of a Hebrew's commentary, I almost cried at the end... here it is:
Years ago a friend invited me to the kickoff luncheon for the Rose Bowl game in Pasadena where I heard a newscaster tell this story. He told of a famous football coach in the East. The coach had a player to was known for two things. The first thing he was noted for was his faithfulness at football practice. He was the first one our and the last one to leave, but he never could make the team- he just wasn't quite good enough. The second thing he was famous for was that his father often visited him on campus and they would be seen walking arm in arm across campus, very much engrossed in conversation. Everyone noticed that and thought it was wonderful. Well, one day the coach got a telegram saying that the boy's father had died. The coach was the one chosen to tell the sad news to the boy, and so he called him in and told him.The boy was greatly shaken, of course, and had to go home for the funeral. But he was present at the next game, sitting there on the bench. Then he came over to the coach and said, " Coach, this is my forth and last year, and I've never played in a game. I'm wondering if you could put me in for just a few minutes and let me play." And so the coach put him in because the boy's father had just died. To his amazement, the boy turned out to be a star! The coach had never seen anyone play a better, a more brilliant game than this boy played - so he never took him out of the game. When the game was over, the coach called the boy off to the side and said to him, " Listen, I've never seen anyone play like you played today, but up to today you were the lousiest player I've ever seen. I want an explanation. " And the boy said, " Well coach, you see, my dad was blind, and this is the first day that he ever saw me play football."
Isn't that a sad, but happy story at the same time? I really like it. That's about all I have to say.
