Do I Get A Life Now?

No. Almost, but no. No school tomorrow though. That's a plus.

I know everyone's been talking about it, but it snowed yesterday. We got 10 inches at our house. That's never happened in my lifetime. Pretty awesome. I have some pictures, but I'll try not to pain you with the boring ones you probably wouldn't care about.

The second and third to last pictures are of our trees. By the end of the night, a quarter of the branches fell off. And about a third of the tree closer to the house fell down too. It took out our herb garden. Pretty scary. So I'd say we lost about an eighth of all of the trees in our backyard due to snow and wind. Other than that I had a lot of fun. I was a kid again with my brother Nic. My family and I took a walk this morning for about an hour. Got some good pictures of the white valley. Just coming outside makes me happy, thinking "Oh yea, it snowed..."

Marcea's Quince was last month. It's a little late to be talking about it, but I will anyways. It was amazing. From what it looked like everyone was having a great time. The waltz was alright. I don't think we messed up that much, but I wasn't paying much attention. Thanks for leading Josh. Our other dances went alright. The hustle was fun- I just pretended no one was there and it was just another rehearsal. Oh and the video was hilarious. Priscila and I were laughing so hard we couldn't breath. Yea, great time. Good job Marcea. I'll try to get some pictures up here when I have some good ones. (Priscila and Marcea- this picture is for you. I wouldn't have put it up otherwise.)

Tournament of Roses has been going pretty well. We set our parade block last week. It's only tentative, but as of now I'm on the end. All our music is supposed to be memorized. (Supposed to be... Yea, that's what I'll be doing tomorrow.) I got my black sweatshirt too. It has sparkles on it... No thank you. And we get our white wind breakers on Saturday. Funny how materials get us excited. As if the experience itself isn't enough... Okay, sorry. Too much English class... I enjoy the people I'm around too. I think I've gotten used to them now. Meals are interesting and usually pretty entertaining. John and I watching Josh eat. Joey recording it. Yea, good stuff.

A couple weeks ago a few of us went to the school play. I had my doubts, but I actually thought it was pretty hilarious. However, I don't think I would've laughed that much if I hadn't been with the people I was with. Priscila, Marcea, Kyle and Amanda. They all laugh at everything, so that made the play all the more enjoyable.

We've had a few competitions lately. Got Grand Champion at AV and in Palmdale lost it to Littlerock by 0.78. Great, huh? Thanks to Kyle for letting us all use his car. I had a lot of fun, and I know others did too. And sorry to everyone I was a jerk to. My fault, no excuses. But I think we all had a good time. Oh, and our school won the CIF Championships. If that means anything...

Happy belated Birthday to John. I think I'm glad he's alive, so his birthday is something to celebrate. A bunch of us went to BJ's today for him. I'm surprised at how comfortable I am around most of these people. It's kind of weird for me.

Okay, I think I'm almost done rambling. I've put more pictures up in one post than I have in my whole blog. So here's another from the wedding. Oh yea, Allison and Tyrel are flying in from Virgina tomorrow. I'll be seeing them on the 22nd. Can't wait.

Hope everyone has a great/safe Christmas break.
