My brother, Josh

This is me and my 3 sisters & big brother, Josh, just before he

left to go on his mission in August.

He is serving in the Idaho Pocatello Mission. He is a good example!
I do miss him a lot!

BFF

Chendara has been in our ward for about 2 years now. It's only been since about March, maybe before then, that she and I have really become good friends. She is so cool, and so smart! She is in college, and only 14! She stays at my house sometimes on Tuesday nights, and when she does, she explains things so much better with my homework assignments, especially in math! Without her, I don't think I would have gotten all A's on my progress report (and that's even Pre-AP Math!).
She is a cool friend because she doesn't judge like some girls do in our Young Womens group. Isn't that sad? My mom said that happened to her sometimes when she was in Young Womens. Some think they are to good to talk to you, so instead they gossip; they laugh at you in front of you because you don't wear all the name-brand clothes, and then they are only "nice" to you when no one else is there to speak too, or their parents are in the room... such hypocrites!
Since this is my blog, I can say it just makes me mad! I feel I am nice to everyone, even to the girl who acts this way. But she is always so rude. Sometimes I wish I can pop her in the face, but I am not. I really don't want harm to come to her at any way. I just wish she could see how she is sometimes, and think "Would Jesus want me to act this way?"
Chendara and I are going to try to go to EFY this next summer together, but it depends on her college schedule. If not, then maybe my cousin Rebekah can go with me to the one in San Antonio.

Drum Major Camp

I went to this camp to help me become a better drum major and I did and it was so fun. Mr. Moss is from Cameron,Tx and came all the way up to teach a class for a whole week to be drum majors. I told him I was from Bryan, and he said "That was cool and why a girl from Bryan is now living in Ashdown Arkansas?" I said "My dad wanted to live by his mom and dad, and we needed a new house, because we have 7 kids." So that whole week was fun.

Drum Major

Well I mad drum major at my school for next year.

Band Rocks!

In January we got a new band teacher because our last one sucked. Before we had gotten our new teacher we sucked, because she would never do anything with us. She would never teach us anything new. We only did eazy songs and never hard ones. Now we have a new band teacher, Mr. Stewart. He is from around here and plays the french horn and in percution. Before he came we were playing music that was like a 1-3. Now since he has been here we have gone from a 3 to a 10. Our concert was on Sunday April 26, and we had a standing ovation, and the AJHS Band had never had one at all! The songs we played were: Crusade, Canon Of Peace, Command March, Flight of The Thunderbird, Break Thoe the Bread of Life. Now we are learning to play: A Childhood Hymn and Lament and Tribal Dances. He is the best band teacher AJHS has ever had! I hope he stays a long time!
