What year is this??!!

Wow. I have failed yet again. I haven't blogged since NOVEMBER. *sad* Really though, time has flown! Let me try to catch you up on my busy life-
  • At Thanksgiving, my cousins came and spent a couple days with us. That was totally awesome. I love my cousins! But they have moved to Virginia...:*( sad. 
  • Our basketball season was still going, which was also really enjoyable. All thru the season, I improved every game. 
  • At our co-op(ECC) and at basketball, I became really great friends with Arthiel. She is just like Arodeth and I. I am so glad she is in my life:)
  • CHRISTMAS CAME!!!
  • Hmm. THE HOBBIT CAME OUT!!!!! Oh it was soooooooooo good. And it had my all-time favorite LotR character, Legolas. Even though he wasn't in the book... But since he is Thranduil' s son, and Thranduil is in the book, Legolas would technically have been there. I worked that one out!! But my major issue was Tauriel. I did my research, she is totally made up by the producers, I repeat- she is NOT a work of Tolkien. :( and don't get me started on her and Kili. DON'T EVEN GO THERE! Also, Kili, Fili, Bofur, and Oin are supposed to continue on with the group. Kili isn't supposed to even get hurt. But ANYWAY, it's a great movie!!
  • Ecc came and went!
  • At the end of February, we had our homeschool Texas state tournament. That was super duper fun! We won our first two games, then lost in the semifinals. But I made the winning shot in our 3rd place game! I also got to catch up with a couple friends I hadn't seen since last season! That was great to see them. 
  • In March, 10-14, we had our homeschool national tournament in Springfield, MO. That was really great. I made the winning shot again, on the twelfth. We got 8th place. 
  • March 12 was my birthday!!!! I turned 14!!!:) :D
  • On the 17th of March, we went to Kerrville!!!!!! I got to spend 3 days with Aro and that was amazing. 
  • When we got back, my brother and his wife came and visited us. :)my brother and I were told we degraded back 15 years in age. Haha;) 
  • On April 4th, I went to a 3 day church youth event with Arthiel, called Disciple Now. It was an amazing experience. I also got much better acquainted with Arthiel' s dear friend, Madeline ( http://thelittledecorator.blogspot.com/) I had a great time with them at DNow 2013. 
  • After DNow, I started going to their youth group. The youth pastor is great, and all in all it is a great atmosphere. 
  • My summer team just started to play games, and that is going well. We have played 4 games, and I have gotten SO much better even in a month!
That is just about all for today. I am going to try and post MUCH more often. Aro and I can remember together to try and make one post a week. Emphasis on try. At least one a month!! Hopefully more. Since summer is starting soon, I'll hopefully be less busy. I hope someone is blessed by my first post in forever!!!:)
Aranel out.
