While Shakespeare Slept

I posted earlier about rehearsals for the play "While Shakespeare Slept" that my TOG class is performing. We preformed it about a week ago, for our whole TOG co-op and their families.

I was "Kate the Shrew" from Shakespeares play "Taming of the Shrew". Yes, I was a shrew. I kept getting told that I didn't even have to act! haha gosh, thanks guys :p lol But everyones character fit them so well, it was almost like the play was writen for us!
We all had a blast, and can't wait for the next play! :)

Now that's what I call a great weekend!

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS MY FRIENDDD.....AND WE'LL KEEP ON FIGHTING TILL THE END.....DUN Dun dun....WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS....WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!

Well the East Regional tournament is over. And my team (the JV girls) in case you didn't notice are the Champions!! We took home the trophy baby! YAY!! :)

The picture is a little blurry, but you get the idea. lol

We only had play one game to take the trophy....now, I know what you are thinking....."Oh one game, big whoop!" BUT, this was a BIG game for us. We were playing Fayetteville (the other homeschool team from the east coast). Fayetteville, lets just say they're are "arch rival." We had played them twice in the season, losing to them both times by 2 points. Yes, 2 stinkin points! So we were DETERMINED to beet them in the tournament. At half time, they were beating us by about 6 points. Well after a pep talk from Coach Kyle, we came back and won the game, beating them by 8 points! :) Boy were we happy! Now on to the State tournament this weekend in Greensboro. Where one of our games will be vs. Fayetteville again. All I got to say is...Watch out for the JV Girls Lighthouse Eagles!

Now coming away from the game. This weekend was fun! :) Ellie, Morgan, Erica, and Emily all came on Saturday to hang out at the gym with me and watch Mice and erica's game. It was funnn! and they all slept over on Saturday night ( we didn't get home from the gym till around midnight.). they came to my church Sunday morning and then we all went and saw "The Confessions of a Shopaholic" at the movies. The movie was really cute! It reminded me a LOT of 27 dresses....one of my favorite movies :) But it was an a awesome weekend with some of the most bestest, super duperest, most amazing friends in the whole wide world! :)

Valentines Day

8am basketball practice. That's how I started my Valentines Day. We have a big basketball tournament this weekend and then the weekend after that. So my coach is going all crazy and adding a whole bunch more practices for the next two weeks. Including 8am last Sat morning. I hate getting up early on Saturdays....Scratch that...I hate getting up early period. Never less getting up early to go to basketball practice! Oh well... that was our last one early morning practice...I hope. But ya, so had basketball practice from 8am-10am. Then I came home and worked on the dreaded program. The dreaded program would be for the basketball tournament this weekend, which my dad is running. So I got drafted to create the program again (I did it last year). And I know what your thinking, oh a program that's not difficult, why is she complaining???. Well people this program includes 50 different teams being listed along with there entire roster, Jersey numbers, positions, and height, a whole bunch of advertisements from businesses. Brackets and schedules for the tournaments, contacts for all the teams, and letters from the NCHEAC board. So far I am at 38 pages, and I'm not done yet. Yes, so I sat down at the computer on Saturday at 10:30am and didn't get up till 5:30pm. Only because, Jason and I went to the Nemitz's house while Mr. Ryan and Mrs. Eve went out with parents for dinner. So that was definitely a nice break! We got home from the Nemitz's around 11pm and I sat down at the computer for another 3 hours. I finally got into bed around 2am....still not done with the program. Anyways that was my valentines day! Hope you guys had a better one then me! :P
Well I gotta go work on the program! haha....

Don't wanna forget a thing.....

Well since I haven't posted in almost 2 months..and after many complaints....I guess I should start up againn.....So here it goes...

The last couple of weeks have been crazy.....

And because they're is just so much....there's a lot of pictures....cuz pictures are worth a thousand words....:)

Basketball season is coming to an end, well the normal season I should say. the last season games are this week. But we still have another month of tournaments. Whoo hoo! I love playing basketball, I love watching basketball, I love keeping the book for the varsity boys team and I absolutely love my basketball team this year. All the girls on my team get along reallyy well, which is a change from last year...but lets not go there right now. Our record right now is 2(wins) -12(lost), even though we haven't won nearly as many games as we did last year. I wouldn't trade my team for anything!









My TOG class is doing a comedy play called "While Shakespeare Slept." It's about Shakespeare and a bunch of his women characters..Juliet, Portia, Rosalind, Cleopatra, Macbeth and I'm Kate. The plays perfect for our class cuz our class is made up of 6 girls and 1 boy! haha poor Mickie...
We have been rehearsing it since before Christmas and are finally preforming it on Sunday. It's gonna be a hoot! :)






We went to the Airport to welcome home one of my bestest friends Morgan, and her mom, and her new little brother Amon, and her new little sister Amberlynn they adopted from Ethiopia. They are so cute, I could just eat them up!



A couple weeks after the Craigs (Morgan) got back. They came over to Ellie's house and all the kids played while the moms talked..it was a blast! :)









thay all attacked me...including Morgan...haha...



SNOW! It snowed here! In North Carolina! Like real snow! It was awesome... :)
we haven't had a real snow here in years! I didn't go out side and play in it a whole lot. But I just love to look outside and see everything covered in a layer of sparkly, white snow! :)


My Friends....I have the most aweomsest, amazing, sweet, loving (well most of the time:p), and hilarious friends ever! And we have a had a blast the last few weeks.....:)




















With all the fun stuff that happened in the last few weeks....there was some sad stuff as well....:(

My big brother Alex, left for Iraq this past week. He'll be gone for 1 year + how ever longer they want to keep them there...:(
