New Year

Wow, the last few weeks were really busy, but I am glad to be back home. I loved seeing Mom and getting to visit Brittney in Kansas, but the plane ride was rough. Especially when it kept getting later and later. I finally got home on New Year’s Eve, just in time to hang out with friends at home. We stayed up late and played poker (Aunt Lisa won – again).

I went back to school yesterday and that was nice. One of my friends has moved, but the rest are still there, so that was good. And I went back to martial arts. I liked that too. I need to practice my forms and stuff though. I’m out of practice.

I got a lot of cool stuff for Christmas, though I still didn’t get my puppy. We went and looked at puppies at the pet store the other day, and I got to hold a little basset hound girl. She was so sweet, though I don’t think Mom would let me keep her. She gave me the sweetest look though when I was holding her. I really liked her a lot.

We went bowling on New Year’s day which was fun. I even got to a point where I put the bumpers down and I still did all right. I think I need to go bowling more though, so I can get good at it. Uncle Derek was complaining because even Mercedes was beating him. That was funny.
