update

So I haven't posted in a really long time. I thought today would be a good day to update. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!!

Everyone's been talking about Twilight. I went to see the movie at midnight with my friend Nicole. It was pretty good but I don't think anything could ever match up to the movie. I'm looking forward to the next three movies though. I'm not so sure it was worth waiting four hours in the cold with a sinus infection though.

I've been going to the doctors lately for my wrist. On the x-ray it showed that I have a fracture on the right side of my left wrist. See I'm not making it up!! They had me come back for an MRI. I had to sit completely still for an hour in this cold room with a machine that kept making wierd knocking sounds. The MRI showed that I have torn ligaments as well as my fracture. So now I have to wear a wierd thing called a thumb spike that's supposed to make it heal, however, the spot that my fracture is in doesn't get much blood so it's hard for it to heal. The doctor said not to be suprised if the hand surgeon says that I'll need surgery to put in a screw so that it can heal. I almost want surgery just so that it doesn't hurt anymore because considering I"m left handed, I can only write for so long before it starts shaking. I can't lean my head on my hand when I get bored in class because it hurts too much. I can't tumble in cheer either. It's just causing me a lot of trouble. So I hope our insurance covers it.

Let's see, what else is new?? My friends from Wyoming visited a few weeks ago. I haven't seen them since last school year! They came up for only two days so they could help their mom pack. She's been in Flagstaff this whole time they've been in Wyoming and I think she finally just decided to move with her family. Me and Jessica went over to her apartment to help her pack and to see Vince and Frankie. I miss all my friends that left to Wyoming. I feel like I haven't seen Kaylin in forever either!! I really wish I could go visit all of them.

Claire is getting so big! She's the cutest thing ever. I painted her nails the other night but she just couldn't stay still so they got a little bit messy. I love it when she screams to herself instead of cooing like most babies, Claire just screams. It's funny. Poor thing still has no hair. We always put a headband on her since we have no hair to deal with. The Lundell's just had a baby and named her Miley. She's so tiny! She makes Claire look like a monster.

End of Football Season, and the election.




Finally! The football season has come to an end. It seems like it's lasted so long! It would feel so good to just have a second to catch my breath, except now I have competition practice every day, and just around the corner is basketball. No more dancing to band music! WOO HOO! It was a lot of fun starting off the football season but now that I think of it, cheering for a loosing football team is only fun for so long. It gets old fast and it's really sad when people ask me if I think we'll win and without a doubt I answer "nope." S
adly, we still have the best football team in Flagstaff!! Maybe, if or when they combine us with Sinagua, we'll have a better team. Next week we have spirit week and a pep assembly on Friday. (I'm going to see Twilight at midnight on Thursday so wish me luck. I could end up falling asleep in the middle of my routine!) But now I wave goodbye to yet another football season and prepare myself for the rest of the year. 

I never posted about the election! Prop 102 passed! and so did prop 8 in California!! That's the exciting news. I wish I had been old enough to vote in this election. Even now that the election is over, I still argue with peers about politics. No one seems to understand what I believe and why I think the way I do, much less 
do they respect it. I would say 95% of my friends at school are democrats. The funny thing is, they don't even know why! Whenever I put up a debate with them they don't know what to say and I still stick to my word that Barack Obama does not have enough experience to be the leader of our country. I mean look at the guy! He doesn't even put his hand over his heart in the pledge!!
Their main reason to support Barack Obama is because their parents do, but I encourage everyone to actually listen to the speeches in the future elections and comprehend what they're saying instead of just joining the band wagon. I think the reason I believe the things I do is because I was raised to see things that way. I give my friend Jennifer props for  deciding on her own to support John McCain when the rest of her family were supporters of Obama. She had been a supporter of Obama before but went and read a book by him and then had a different outlook. The way things were looking a few weeks before the election, the media made it obvious who would win in the end, but I am still proud to say that I stood up for my beliefs and I didn't give up on McCain. I still think he would be a much better leader for our country, but no matter what, we all still need to stand up for our beliefs and be proud to be a citizen of the wonderful country we live in.
