Overnighter

Friday:
I am going to a cabin with my twin for one night with a bunch of my girlfriends from church to a young woman's leader's cabin in the mountains. I am so excited! At the church some of the boys from church are there because they are going camping the same night.while we all waited for the others we decided to play tag and some football.

The trip was three and a half hours long. my mom let me wear her boots but they look really large on me. When we got there it didn't look like there would be any snow, but all around the house was snow, and hardly, anywhere else. It was to late at night to play in the snow so we are setting up our things for the night. There are about 20 girls and we all fit comfortably. The cabin is very large and spacious. Lots of karaoke and yummy soup for all. Well all the older girls wanted to take glam shots so half of us did our face and hair. It was my first time, because I'm more of a tom boy but i tried it out for one night.

Saturday:
I slept in til 7:00 AM! after i woke up i got dressed washed up and helped make pancakes, egg and fruit salad. Then we all played snow ball fighting, then we we rode on a zip cord, that is until someone slipped high up and landed on her back. after she could breath a little better i carried er in, because she's my bud (and she's really light) after some chillin out she joined us again while we made a small jump with a snow wall turn. it was so cool. But the fun only lasted til about 12:00 and we had to leave. I really wanted to stay. On the way back though, we watched Wall-e , and now I'm back home.......

It's almost Christmas and i need to draw pictures for all my friends and teachers by the end of the week! yikes!

Anyways lately here in AZ the sunsets and sunrises has been really pretty. Very vibrant here I'll show you -

Well I turned in one of my favourite drawings for my art project the origanal pic was about 3 inches tall. It was hard! There was two phases for me to complete my project.

Phase1:

phase2:

cool huh?! i drew it all by my self and I am 13 yrs old! yay!

This Wednesday I got my 1st hair cut in years. My mom told the people to cut off 6 inches, and i also got bangs. My hair is shoulder length now. everyone Tuesday was shocked, even my teachers. Especially my family.

Tuesday night was my 1st dance i was aloud to go to, and my twin danced with about 25 guys, half of them were strangers, but it was a dance with all Mormons, and some friends. They were all nice. This guy who was a year younger than me, was asking any girl in sight to dance with him. the girls would say yes because they all felt sorry for the 12 yr old. I had 3 favorite dances. The first one was the Cotton Eye Joe dance, the second was the Cha Cha Slide, the third was really funny! The theme to this thanksgiving dance was Disney, so we did a Cinderella dance, all the girls went in the middle, and had to take one shoe off and go to the right, the guys stared on the left then they had to pick a shoe and find who the owner was, it was so funny! One of the guys in my ward was to shy to dance with any of the girls, and my friend said I should ask him to dance with me so i went over there and pronounced, "who wants to dance with me?!" all the leaders were saying "hey hey look there's someone, c'mon eh." so he got up, gave a big sigh and danced with me. My sevy bud was the first one I danced with, it was so funny because he didn't want to dance, at first. My friend in my first hour was there to, and i didn't even know she was Mormon! At the end of the dance i found out that all the Decans were betting money to the guy who danced with the most girls. The guy who was asking every girl in sight won, i walked up to him and he said, "what can I say I'm a chick magnet." after i told him that girls only danced with him because they felt sorry for his patheticness i punched and he started running. I didn't intend it to hurt but apparently i did. I had so much fun!

Wednesday:
well i went to school as usual, my friend was bragging about the party she had in P.E then remembered my P.E class was the only P.E class in the whole school that didn't get the party. Well when i went to P.E we started running around the gym as punishment because or class was unable to bring enough cans as she wanted. Then my P.E teacher from last year showed up and told me that I was going home early. I was so happy! my favorite cousins would be at my house in 10 min. I blasted into the locker room dressed out, grabbed my stuff and ran out. In the hall I speed walked the principal, and when I saw my mom, brother and twin i ran. as soon as we turned on to our street in our car i saw them pull up, I jumped in joy and my twin opened her door before mom even pulled up, mom yelled "shut the door!" she frowned and my cousins got a good laugh out of that. we jumped out (this time, after mom stopped) and gave them huge bear hugs, that popped each others spines. After that they stayed for hours, it was so fun!! my uncle recorded us in our front yard climbing our sharp palm trees.( i still have scratches all over my arms and legs) They are so fun! and yet so aggressive. we were trying to touch our ceiling with out tippy toeing so i poked the light instead, my cuz did to but he jumped and it fell, i caught it and my twin started yelling, "mom Garrett already broke something and he hasn't even been here five whole minutes!" while laughing.

Thursday:
Some of my fav. cousins names, are Brandon, Garret, Tyler, and Kendel. oldest to youngest, Garrett's my age. well we all met at my other cousin's house for thanksgiving, we all went to the park, the trip there was like trying to take a circus to the park with only one leash! there was 8 of us, all hyper. what a blast! well Garrett kept taking his shirt off so my twin and his brother stole his shirt on the way home, after about an hour at the park. Brandon ran in the house waving Garrett's shirt in the air and played catch with the parents, Garrett's all, "I'm to famous for my shirt, to famous for my shirt." it was all fun then my family went home, my cousins stayed. at home mom said they'd come in a little. after 2 hours i laid under the pool table and said " they're not coming, are they? and at that moment i saw a red shirt outside after a car door shut, "they're here!" i shouted as i ran out the door to tackle them. We all played game then watched Delta Farce, it was 10:00 and they had to go but before then we all jumped on each others backs and gave piggy back rides. well got to go to bed now by.

Sorry....

Well thursday was my last soccer game at AYSO this year, my team lost.....AGAIN...... well this time, fortunately we alteast scored some goals! we only lost by one point, that shoudn't have counted, because the apposing player pushed me into my goal keeper, and then scored. that totally should have been yellow card! Anyways, i had a lot of fun, from the beginning of the year to, then that was the most agressive i have ever played. The most agressive a best player on my team, her name was sam, every time ,our awsome goaly kicked it to her, she did a great break away, which means everyone was slow jogging the sam took off sprinting in one tiny half second, she got 10 times faster than last year. I had so much fun! my mom was our good luck charm , and as soon as she left they scored a goal..... bummer...... finaly some one understood me that game, and she was on the other freakin team. i am allways the happy peppi attitude one who doesen't freak out over one goal, i would allways say,"come on! it's just a game, it's supposed to be fun." when ever others would freak out. I HAD SO MUCH FUN! SO MANY FRIENDS WERE MADE THIS SEASON, AND HALF OF THEM WEREN'T EVEN ON THE SAME TEAM! i'm going to miss them i hope we all get to see each other again. well i did get all of their emalis...... fortanetlay .

After the game my knees were acheing!!!!(i ruined my knees and i'm not supposed to run that much, oops....) coach was giving short little speeches for each player when he gave, them their medals, but when i got mine he didn't give me a little speech, so when i sat down, i gave him huge puppy dog eyes so he said,"oh allright, courtney, here is my favourite athlete." so i smiled.

Today i finished my awsome art project i drew selendis off of, Starcraft, it's so cool!

My book

Lately i have been writing a book and i am trying to include ALL of my friends in it, but that isn't working so, so far i have six friends that i drew for my book. my goal is to finish it before 10th grade, right now I'm in 8th grade though.

My book takes place in the middle ages with magic and warriors of all kinds, with bounty hunters , demon slayers and mythical creatures. My main character is a blind girl who is an archer, because she can pinpoint someones heart, beating inside them from about 50 feet away.

Pretty neat I say.

My friends have been a big help, they give me lots of ideas and since all of them want to be in it it turns out better because i have more characters to be included, and they have something special about them in the book, that the would want. i got to admit some of my friends are a little crazy, but hey, so am I.
"ooooooo ooooooooooo" i just remembered, one of my friends doesn't even know it, but while he was describing armor he wanted he sparked a whole other idea for an even cooler book!!! I'm thinking of calling it "A Battle Between Worlds" cool huh! it's going to be in modern time but on a normal sunny afternoon, a dark warrior with dark armor and wings ripps throught the sky and brings with him chaos all around. the skys darken and people shudder in fear, but just before he destroys everything there is a blinding light of white, and an an angel warror in all whit appears out of nowhere and begins a battle of unimmaginable power and streangth!!!!! here i'll show you all a picture that i drew for it!
