Craziness...

My apologies for not posting in so long - I have been so busy lately that I haven't been taking many pictures or doing many noteworthy things! The first speech and debate tournament is only 16 days away, so I'm working on preparing my speeches for competition. Part of me wants the tournament to be here NOW (because I want to see the people I miss so much), but most of me is frantically thinking "I don't have enough time!!"  Besides that, life has been pretty busy with orchestra, work and school. Last week I turned 16 - maybe people will think I'm my age this year, especially now with my more grown-up haircut. :) Also, lately we have had the pleasure of spending time with our friends from church - always a fun experience!
              I really don't have many recent pictures, but here are a couple of my favorites. :) 

Got to see Laurel debate at the KGB RR - one word: PERFECT. :)

One of the latest Charlton pictures - ever-watchful at the window!
