Summer!

School is almost out! I get out of school on June first. There is no school on monday because it is Memorial Day and I have school on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Friday is the last day but it is only for an hour and you don't even have to go that day. I am so excited! I have a lot to do this summer.
On June tenth, I go to Iowa for a week of band camp(Actually, it is only for six days). On June twenty second, I move to a different town. The last week of June, my grandma is having her wedding renewal and all my family is going to be in town; all of my aunts, uncles, cousins, my dad's aunts, uncles, and cousins(it is my dad's mother's renewal),and every body else on my dad's side of the family.There will be, like, seventy people there.On July first my mom's sister is coming to visit from Florida with my uncle and my cousins. As you can see, my summer is busy.Except for August; I can't think of anything I am doing in August. Other than that, I have an exciting and busy summer!

Broken Finger

I broke my ring finger on Friday, May18. I was in second hour P.E. playing catch with a softball. My partner threw the ball to me and I caught it. I jammed my finger when I caught the softball. I wanted to scream out in pain because it hurt so bad. I thought that my finger was just bruised, but later I found out that it was fractured.
I had a field trip that day after second hour, so I was miserable throughout the entire day at Skate Land and Old Orchard bowling and mini golf. I tried to ignore my finger, but it still hurt no matter how hard I tried. When I was at Skate Land, I was pulling some tickets out of a game and saw how bad my finger looked. It was so swollen, that it was twice it's original size and all blue and purple. I could barely move it now because it was so swollen. I survived the rest of the day until I got home.
When my mom saw it, she wanted to take me to get it x-rayed.When my dad saw it, he knew that it was broken and he and my mom woried that I would not be able to play at my jazz band concert that night. To make sure that I could still play, I tried to play one of the songs but it was impossible. I was not going to be able to play that night. I was planning to at least watch the concert, but, again, this was not going to happen.
My mom called my band director to tell him that I could not play then she called my grandparents to tell them not to come because I broke my finger. Then, my mom took me to get it x-rayed. I was there for two hours so I completely missed the concert. They buddy taped my finger together with the one next to it because it was just a fracture and not a clean break.
So you see how such a little thing as a broken ring finger can mess up a lot of other stuff including people's plans.

Moving(Again)

I have moved so many times and now I am moving again.I was born in Illinois, then moved four more places in Illinois. My family dicided to move to Virginia. I lived there for two years then moved back to Illinois again. Now I am moving again. I am always excited about moving, but every time, I'm not as excited. Don't get me wrong,I am excited about moving, but not as much.
I have moved so many times, that I am not as nervous about new schools anymore. My family thinks that we will live here for a while, so I wont have to keep going threw the moving process again;or at least not for a while.
My family likes the new house and the town that it is in.There is a lot of room for my brothers and my dog to play. We have this little pond in our back yard which is about five feet wide. There are two frogs that live in it.The front yard is fenced . Now that I think of it I am excited about moving!
