Nine Months.

As I was looking at my cellphone at the date after I thought I'd better update my blog, it struck me. I have been in the United States for 9 months today. It's crazy how fast time has gone. Nine months ago I was standing in Auckland airport with Mum, Dad, Nana, Bridgette and 7 of my closest friends, excitingly awaiting the unknown. Today I watch the Seniors count down 18 school days until they have finished high school, and the rest of the school count 24 school days until summer vacation. 

April means Spring

Look at me, updating my blog in under a month.. I think it's a miracle! 


It is now April and the weather is getting better. This is good seeing as I'll be going back to winter when I return to New Zealand.

Natalie & I at NHS, see previous post

This week soccer started, yes Brittany and I are out for soccer in the community team. It's high school (grade 9 - 12) plus one middle schooler. It's mixed, so boys and girls, and Brittany and I are the only girls on the team.. Brittany had never played before and I played for a couple of years a while back so we're not the next Christiano Ronaldos, to say the least. I'm really enjoying it so far though. Because it's community soccer we don't practice nearly as much as the other sports, like we practiced for cheerleading. We practice three times a week and have games on Sunday afternoons. The first practice was on Thursday, we had one today (Sunday) and then we have one Tuesday, possibly Thursday too, and then our first two games are on Sunday which will be fun.


Apart from that, nothing else has really happened since my last post, except that I got to Skype my wonderful sister Veronika after church today for the second time since she left. That made my day :)


Just keeping it short and sweet for now,
Have a fantastic day.
