Gilmer Stake Dance

So my Mom has been taking me to some of the Gilmer Stake Dances. Gilmer is exactly 2 hours from our house. We went to the 1st one in November, which was in Mt. Pleasant, and then she took me to one in January in Gilmer. I have met some really cool people, one of them being Preston. Preston is 15, and in 9th grade. He has a sister named Jacy, who is 14 and in 8th grade, like me. She is super cool and awesome. I think we are going to be friends for a long time. At the end of December, my family went to their house for lunch one day. We were heading to my Mimi & Grampa's house in Killeen, so we just took a detour to go. They live in a cool house outside of Quitman, Tx. Our mom's have become fast friends.

A couple of weeks ago our Mom's allowed me to go to their house to stay for the weekend. I went on Friday, and came home Sunday night. It was the Gilmer Stake Conference, and the youth sang the EFY Medley during it. It was so cool. Really neat. I had a great time. This is a picture of Preston & I after conference. And yes, I am taller then him by 2 inches. He is a really cool guy, and I am glad that he is (and Jacy) my friend. The next big QUAD-STAKE DANCE is February 13th in Longview, Tx. That stake, Gilmer, Tyler & Shreveport Stakes are all invited. Can't wait to go!! My mom is going to take me down, so she and Preston's mom can go out to eat.

Since school started

I didn't get to be drum major as I said before. The reason is is because Mr. Stewart, who was our band director, got a new job at another school during the summer, and the new band directors decided not to use us. We still learned things, but we didn't get to really be it. In fact, I think we only did 1 home game this season because it rained LIKE EVERY TIME there was a home game, and all games would be cancelled. The one night there was a game, it was cold!!

Deer season started, and my dad decided to buy a new 4-wheeler. It's pretty awsome...

and a pretty awesome ride!

My Mom took this picture of me a few weeks ago by our lake. I thought it look good.

I did the pumpkin on the right. I had to use super glue to hold some of it together. My mom did the same with the other one. She was helping Jacob with his. I went to the church Halloween Party as Dorothy. It was a fun time.

I went to an AWESOME church dance over in Mt. Pleasant, Tx. That area is part of the Gilmer, Tx Stake, but we found out about their youth dance in Mt. Pleasant. My mom took me there. It was so much fun. Met a few cute boys. I hope to go again soon.

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!

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.
