the weekend

well Thursday came and i got my school stuff done, got packed, and went to Brent's to leave for breakaway. when we got to Brent's house we found out that his mother-in-law was sent to the hospital so things had to be put on hold. while we waited to see what we were going to do, we played basketball. Jeremy's team won. then finally Brent just decided that Jonny would just have to take us. Brent was going to stay home and see how things went with his mother-in-law. so we left and started our 4 and a half hour drive for Valley Forge. since we were running late, the service had started already when we got there. i got to see Ashley and Robyn but only for a few seconds because we left to sign up for the dodge ball tournament. after we ate pizza and wings, we went and headed for the tournament that was about to start. our game was the last match in the first round of the tournament. we won the first round, the second round, the third round, and the first two games of the final round. all we had to do was win one more game and we would have finished the tournament undefeated. but of course we lost the next three games and came in 2nd in the tournament. it was a lot of fun though. then we got our things together and found our dorm rooms. i stayed with a freshmen who had the room to himself. he was a pretty cool guy and he had a xbox 360 and a ps2 with surround sound. whats not cool about that?! ha ha. but after a bunch of the guys were done playing video games and watching a movie, we went to bed. the next morning i woke up, i took a shower and went down to the pop machine and got myself a Mountain Dew to get me going for the day. i met up with Jeremy and T and we went to chapel. the service was really good. then we decided that we were just gonna eat lunch and go home. we stopped at Red Robin and had lunch and headed for home it was a long 4 and a half hour drive home. when i got home my brothers told me we were going out to eat so i put my stuff away and we left for Cici's and basically that was my day. Saturday i woke up and went with my dad to a really muddy junk yard to get a part for our minivan because somebody hit it and broke the mirror on the drivers side while my mom was in Finleyville. so we got one and went back home. he fixed the car and i shot hoops with my brothers and the neighbors while i waited for Dave and Parker to show up. they got here and Parker went wild. he ran all over the place and chased the twins around all over the yard. i went to the mall with my friend kc and came back and went to bed and Parker decided to join us and slept with Aaron till my brother came home. well that was my weekend. i'll post some pictures when i upload them.

meeting Parker

Saturday Dave came up for a visit and since Carissa was up in Michigan with her parents Dave brought up Parker. He was really excited when he got out of the car and ran all over the place. And last night he slept in our room with us until Dave came home. He is staying with us until Dave and him leave today. Here are some pictures of Parker and us.

Thursday and Friday

Tomorrow at 12:00 I'm going to my youth pastor's house because we're meeting there and then heading for Valley Forge Collage for brake away. I've never been to it before but it sounds like it will be fun. I'm going with a few people from my youth group and my youth pastor Brent. I can't wait to go but i can because i have to still try to fit in school before I go. We are leaving tomorrow at noon and are coming home Friday evening. And on Saturday Dave is coming up to visit us for a day or two. well thats about all for now. I have to get up at normal people time tomorrow so I'm going to get off. ha ha. Night.

no subject

well friday night after we lost to serra catholic my youth group had our all night bowling night. which was pretty fun considering i won all but one game. i was up till 4:45 that night because i had to tell my dad how the game went before he went to work and i went to bed. i slept in on saturday until 12:30 and the rest of the day was pretty boring because it was cold and snowing.
sunday we had church like usual and went home ate then went to the prayer room to work on the picture i'm suppose to be drawing on the wall. but of course i forgot the picture at home and didn't really get to do anything. then at 5 we ended the basketball season and turned in our jerseys. it stinks that the season is over now but i'll be a starter next year so its not all that bad. while i was at that my mom saw a lady carrying bags of food and other things and asked her if she needed a ride. so my mom gave her a ride and took her to her house up at the apartments and when she came to pick me up she told me about it and said she was going to go up and ask her if she would like to come to church with us and if her son would like to come to our youth group and shes said she would. so monday after school around 4:15 like we always do we headed out the door to go to piano lessons and we picked the lady and her son up. he seemed to be a little shy but his mom talked to my mom just fine. we dropped the twins off at piano and then we went to the community center to set up. we had our regular monday night madness and brandon seemed to like it and later his mom came up and ate with us and my dad came and picked us up. we dropped her and her son off and she seemed to be excited about coming thursday to youth and sunday to church. so i hope they like and God meets their needs. well that's about all for now i'll post again tomorrow about valley forge coming up.leave comments.

We have come to the end of the road

well it happened. we played Serra Catholic and lost 81 to54. so now the season is over and we all have to go on with our normal lives again.(well semi-normal.) but oh well, it was a good first season and one of the best seasons bentworth has ever had. i just hope we can do it all again next year. now i have to get a job and move on just like the rest of the world until next season. oh well.
heres a link to show a summary of the game. our game is game 2. bentworth is the team in black.

Round 3

Tomorrow's the big day. We are going to Chartiers Valley High to face Serra Catholic in the third round in the PIAA state playoffs. It'll be a long day for me tomorrow because we don't just have a game to play but the school is having a pep rally at 2:20 and after the game, I'm going to all night bowling with my youth group till 4am and then we're going to King's. But it should be fun. If we win or lose tomorrow decides whether our season goes on or if our season ends for the year. But whatever happens happens. Well, I'll post again on Saturday if I remember to and tell you all what happened. Pray for us.

We'll be movin on up

We did it! The boy's basketball team of Bentworth High School is moving on to the next round of state playoffs winning Our first state playoff game 55 to 30 against Southern Fulton. Putting us in the seconds round of state playoffs in the first time since 1979. One of our top players Jon Kennedy dunked in the first quarter of the game, which put us ahead for probably our lowest scored first period for the whole season at 12 to 8 in the first period of the game. And in the fourth quarter coach put in the JV players to finish the last couple minutes of the game. When we got done and went out to get on the bus to leave it had been snowing the whole time we were in the school and the bus almost didn't make it out of the school parking lot. But after 10 minutes of the buses wheels spinning on top of the slushy snow we made it out and head to the restaurant and then home. So I'm glad to say we are moving on up to the next round to kick some butt (or to get our butts kicked) in the next round of the 2008 PIAA state playoffs. And our next game is this Tuesday. So I'll try to keep you all updated on that cause there is a good chance this isn't going to happen again anytime soon in the near future for this basketball team. lol.

Post about your morning routine.

Well mornings are mostly a blur to me but I'll try to to tell ya about it anyways.
At about 8:45 my mother comes in to my room and tells us all to get up, so i get up (trying not to get yelled at anymore for the time being,) and go to the bathroom. After i do my business i go down read the passage in my Bible for the day and pass out on the couch. When everyone else finishes eating breakfast and reading their Bibles they come in usually one of the twins come in and beat me with a pillow or something of that sort to wake me up. We have Bible study and read a little section our Jesus Freak book. Then I go and eat my breakfast and get yelled at for all the reasons why I should have already eaten my breakfast with everyone else instead of sleeping on the coach. After that I go up to the play room and and start working on my school and that goes till about noon. so that's basically my morning routine.
