Tuesday~ I woke up at about 7:15 so I could take a shower before cheerleading to wake me up. I had to be at cheerleading at 8:30 because the pepsi products we sold for a fundraiser were supposed to be coming on a truck at 8:00, but they ended up not getting there until 9:00. We finally got started practicing, and things were going okay considering I hadn't practiced in over a month and for everyone else except for Tessa it had been about a month. The stunts weren't all hitting, so everyone got a little discouraged. It's so hard. I'm used to being in the stunt, and I'm not upset that I'm not actually in it. It's just that I feel I have no influence on how it goes, and that's hard. Oh well. When I got home I called Karen at Marannook to see when I could come back and she called me back a few hours later and told me she hadn't had a chance to talk to Mr. Kyle, but she would call me back later. I cooked dinner! Woo hoo!! Lemon pepper chicken, green beans, and macaronni and cheese. I was so proud of myself. Morgan and I ate by ourselves because Mama had a haircut appointment and Daddy had a meeting at church. After dinner I painted my toe nails, and when they dried I realized how tired I was! I wanted to go to sleep, but Karen was going to call back. I fell asleep on the couch in the computer room watching "Little Rascals." How cute. I love when Darla says, "You know just what to say to take a girl's bref (BIG AWWW) away." Karen called and told me that it would be fine for me to come back.
Wednesday- I woke up and went to cheerleading. Marc was there to help us, and he judged us on our home cheer. He was pretty hard. Exactly what we need. We worked on getting jumps together, and on stunts. Brittany is doing so well going up. I'm so proud of her:) He talked to us at the end of practice about putting camp into perspective. He told us that we were spending four days of our life there that we can't take back. We should go with a gentle spirit, be ready to work and learn about eachother, and with the mindset that all is for the glory of God. He explained that we shouldn't get all worked up about getting a bid to Nationals. It's just a piece of paper, and he could give us a piece of paper himself. That's already decided before we go to camp. We will get it, if it is in God's will. I was so glad he said that. After practice Tessa and I made up some conditioning for the practices we had missed when we went to World Changers, and I met Mama and Morgan at El Rio. I came home and people were here working on our house. Everything's being worked on. It's crazy. It started with the downstairs bathroom finally getting a mirror and lighting put up in it. Then my dad got the Bose Surround Sound, new cable, cable modem, Knology's equivalent to Ti-Vo, and a DVD player. Morgan's room is almost finished being painted, then my parents' room will be painted. The workers were putting in a new door in our breakfast room. In a few weeks we are getting all of the flooring in the upstairs redone and the hardwood in the breakfast room redone. We're getting the exterior of our house painted sometime and they're putting in a new gutter system. Everything's changing. I took a shower and straightened my hair and then Morgan and I went to deliver some Pepsi products I had sold. We're still sharing a car. After we got home we all left to go to Auburn so I could go to tumbling. I started with a new teacher, Jay, and I got a whole lot accomplished. I'm slowly getting better. I changed afterwards and came back to Lanett to go to church. We sang two songs we sang all of the time at Marannook--"Shout to the Lord" and "Every Move I Make." How fun! We went to Bullard's after SLAM. Not El Rio, how wonderful! My parents came to pick me up since I didn't have a car with me because they dropped me by the church on the way home from Auburn. I talked to my parents about Marannook and I'm getting to go Tuesday through Friday of next week. It's not as much time as I wished to get to spend there, but I'm just thankful I'm going back. My dad wanted me to go with them to Nashville and to be home some before the craziness of school and moving Morgan in and back to school shopping starts. I called Karen and she sounded really pumped, and I was really pumped.
We leave for cheer camp in the morning. Please pray for us while we go. Tessa and I are rooming together so that's a blessing. We made our doorsign today and we put a lot of pictures of us on it and Bible verses and lyrics from songs about friendship. I'm off to pack now...
