A Splendid Weekend!

On Friday we had a soccer game against Oceanside. We lost 0-1, but we played very well. I bruised my arm pretty badly during the last 10 minutes of the game. I got elbowed really hard on the outside on my left bicep. It hurt to bend my arm for about a day and a half. It still hurts a little to fold my arm as though I were flexing. I have a lovely bruise on my arm too. :)

EARLY Saturday morning (around 2am), Abbey got home! Late Saturday morning my family and I met Tim, Angie and Gabe at Wallingford's Apple Orchard to take some family portraits, pregnancy shots of Angie, just pictures of Tim and Angie, and just pictures of Gabe. When we were done we went over to Tim and Angie's to have pizza for lunch!

After lunch we drove to Bath to go to Erik and Hannah Simmler's wedding. That was such a beautiful wedding! Congratulations Erik and Hannah!

Saturday was also Rebecca's birthday! <3

On Sunday, we had church. I took the last few family portraits for our church. Then, my family and I just relaxed around the house with game of Catan and such.

Tomorrow, I will tell you about our fun day yesterday. I'm now off to play a soccer game against Anna and her team! :D

Soccer, Soccer, Soccer.

I ended up not having my game yesterday. Haha! Our soccer field is still just to wet! It's rescheduled to Tuesday. Our game has been rescheduled for a week now. Today, we are supposed to have a game against Oceanside. If we play them today, we'll probably play them on the middleschool field. That field is pretty much dry. If this game is postponed, I hope the don't move it to next week but the week after. We already have 3 games next week! On Monday, we don't have any soccer, Tuesday we have a home game against Morse, Wednesday we have an away game against Camden Hills, Thursday we have practice, and Friday we have an away game against Nokomis! Our game against Nokomis is our last game. :/

Yesterday during practice, I somehow hurt my lower back. Billy thinks it's because I jumped and landed a certain way which sort of strains your lower back. It's not too, too bad. It was worse last night. I just hope it doesn't slow me down today. Back pain is NOT fun.

It's Getting Cold Outside!

It looks like we'll FINALLY have our soccer game today! The sun is actually shining! :D It's REALLY cold out today though. I'm definitely wearing underarmor! I can't wait to play this game! I'm playing against my friend Anna which will be fun and interesting.

Yesterday, during soccer practice it was super duper windy (HUGE gusts of wind), icy cold, and it was sleeting! Let's just say...I. Was. Numb. The cool thing was that there was a rainbow for like 10 minutes. Supposedly, it's supposed to be colder today but just not as windy.

Converse!

Last night, with some of Mom's help I got Converse! They obviously are not REAL Converse though. I got them from Debs and they look really cool!

Tada! Aren't they snazzy?


Yesterday, my soccer game got cancelled because of the rain. The game was rescheduled to today! I hope it doesn't get cancelled again. The sun is actually trying to peek through today! :D If we do play, it'll be against my friend Anna and her friend that I've met through Anna named Ruth! It'll be interesting! I hope we don't woop them and they don't woop us!

Raaaain...

It has been raining almost nonstop since Saturday. Actually, it rained Thursday too, just not Friday. Today, I am supposed to have a soccer game against Morse, which is the school my friend Anna plays for. I REALLY want to play today because it'd be so much fun to play against Anna! The weather isn't looking very promising though... If my game gets cancelled we'll probably have indoor practice. I hope they reschedule our game against Morse if it's cancelled today.

Today or tomorrow, I hope to go shopping for sneakers (something like converse), dress shoes, jeans, and a white cardigan. :)

A Fantastic Weekend!

On Friday night, after school I went to Sarah's house for the night. While we waited for Jenn to come over we listened to music, went for a short walk, and hung out for awhile. When Jenn got to Sarah's house we went for another walk and picked leaves. :P Then we talked for a bit, ate a delicious supper and then played Just Dance on the Wii. Sarah and Jenn had much more experience then me so they were much better than I was but it was still fun! After that we attempted to bake a jelly roll (my idea... Not such a great idea either) and failed. After that, we watched a movie called A Crush on You, then went to bed.

Then next day, we slept in until like 10:30am. I took a shower and we had breakfast. After breakfast, Sarah got ready for the day while Jenn and I talked for a bit. Jenn left to go to her house to get ready for homecoming. When Sarah was all ready we headed to Leavitt to watch Billy's soccer game. They won! The score was 2-0. After Billy's game, Sarah and I hung out at the Junior's booth for a bit. Then we went and watched the first half of the Varsity girl's soccer team. I don't know what the score was at the end but when we left, we were winning 4-0. :D

My family and I visited the Estes family for the evening. That was so much fun! While we waited for the pizza to be ready we played around in the basement. We drew on the white board, did strength stuff like flag poles, ab strengthening stuff, pull ups, and flips on the pull up bar. Adorable, 2 year old Martin sat on my lap for a good part of that time too. :D When the pizza was ready we ran up stairs and gobbled down the delicious home made pizza!

After supper we watched a few videos of rally racecars hitting animals on accident such as a horse. If you are fond of horses, I wouldn't watch this.

After that, we all went downstairs to play Pictionary. It was guys vs. girls. The guys won just barely. They were WAY ahead most of the game but we caught up. The youngest boy on their team (besides Martin) was Kenan, and the youngest on our team was Catherine, so I'd say we did pretty well! We then played a loose game of Charades. There were no teams. Some one would just think of something like a movie, book or song and act it out and everyone would guess. We left soon after that game was over.

On Sunday, we had a good church service. I took a couple more family portraits for the church directory. After church, we invited Millie, Grace and Kevin to come to our house to play Catan and such. Grace and I don't really like Catan so we decided to paint our nails instead. I was planning on painting my nails yesterday for a wedding this weekend anyway so that worked out well. We both did French Manicures and French Pedicures. :) When Grace and I finished painting our nails we ate a snack while Millie, Kevin, Shannon and Billy finished playing Catan.
After they were done Catan we all played Spoons for a bit until Rebecca and Tucker stopped by. We then play Spoons with them too! Heh! I ended up winning. :D When Spoons was over the Richards left. They were only visiting for a short time because Mrs. Richards was bringing Calvin back to college in Lewiston.

Billy, Shannon and I went with Dad to bring the Kidd's home, then to pick up Mom. On our way to pick up Mom we rented Transformers 3 from Redbox. The movie was alright. :)

Shin Splints

Last night was a very rainy game. We had a game at Gardiner Highschool and during Varsity's game is was quite rainy and gross. The JV coaches cancelled then uncancelled our game. We only played 25 minute halves. Mackenzie and I did some really good overlap passes. We lost 0-1 though... Also, I think I have shin splints now. They're not too bad but they're there. :/  Atleast we only have like 4 soccer games left so it won't be too bad.

Dad is borrowing a red car while a car place fixes our van. It's a small bright red Ford car. It's kind of cute! :P The funny thing is, Doug is petrified of it! He won't go near it! Dad made him go for a short ride to see if Doug wouldn't be so scared after but I'm not sure if it helped. It's HILARIOUS watching Doug avoid the car as much as possible.
