President's Day in Vermont

During the 3-day weekend, I went to my house in Vermont. We drove by a lake in Newport, VT (10 minutes from Canada) and saw a bunch of people icefishing. We decided to go out on the ice and test it.

This is (from left to right) me, my brother, Robert, and my sister, MariPat. We all jumped at the same time and we were still face. It was 12 degrees out!!!

We also went snowmobiling a lot. My sister and I drove so much we could barley talk because our faces were frozen and we got major windburn. It was a lot of fun though. My little sister, Lanie, was on the back while I drove around in my neighbor's field on their property. We live up the mountain from them.

In a nutshell, my weekend was full of freezing walks and rides, shooting targets, and working out.

My grandma crocheted this blanket for me. It is very soft.

This table has been in my family for 14 years. Every time you write, it goes through the paper and gets imprinted on the table.



I love the feeling of running my hand over a keyboard or piano even though I barley play it.

What My Family Eats

Pantry

Some of my family's favorite foods are chili and enchiladas and ice cream and cheesecake. On average, my family spends about $200/month on food.

20% Project: Field Hockey

For my 20% project, I will probably end up doing it on field hockey. It is my passion and my favorite sport in the whole world. I know how to play, but I do not know where it originated or how it came to be. I am really curious about this. For my project, I will need a field hockey stick and ball. I can also use other equipment and maybe even my favorite goalie equipment. It may be hard to get the equipment because it belongs to the school. That would be one roadblock. I can consult some of the coaches from the high school. I can also consult my dad because he was a woman's college field hockey coach. I hope this is a good idea.

2013 Resolutions

In 2012, I learned that I have a lot of really good friends. They all have my back and support me and everything I do. I also learned that I need to be bolder and braver. If I want to do something, I need to try and not be afriad. For example, I was really scared to audition for a solo in chorus. I finally got the nerve to audition and I got one of the solos. Another example is that I was nervous about singing in NBC Idol at Tis the Season. Well, I did it and I got a 20 for my score....PERFECT!

In 2013, I will try to exercize more to get in shape for lacrosse season. I will try to eat healthier and be nicer to my siblings, parents, and friends. I will also try to sing the National Anthem at a winter sporting event. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
