School

School is going great! I have a ton of friends and my grades are FIANLLY taking a U-turn and going back up. We have the usually exciting TCAP next week, but the princible said that instead of watching movies like we usually do after the test, we have to go to all of our classes while our teeachers continue to teach. :(
I went to Willliam Loyd and Sherri's for Easter and met up with some of my family that I rarely get to see. I got in an argument with Uncle Don over football.
Amanda came home this weekend and missed my speech. She had an o.k. reason why. She said that I didn't act like I wanted to do my speech and take it seriously. In a way she's right but I ended up winning the thing, so I'm mad that she missed it. That's ok though. This weekend is the Fall Retreat with my church youth group and I can't wait! I know I'm gonna have a ton of fun!

Funny story from Lads

Although Lads to Leaders was a ton of fun with my friends and I winning awards and trophies my faviort story by far from the trip was about Alena one of my best friend. We were walking off stage when Alena suddenly tripped on the stairs grabbing one of the guys around the neck with one hand and his hand with her other hand. When she recovered and was back up on her I asked her how she tripped and if she was ok. she giggled and replied, "the only reason I tripped was because I thought that guy was cute and wanted to hold his hand!"
I don't know why but this cracks me up everytime I think about it.

It worked!

So thanks to mom and Amanda the hard work paid off! I can go! We're also bringing along two of my friends! I can't wait to go see my sister! I guess that even thought he didn't get to see my sad eyes, he did hear the sadness in my voice! :)

To bad for Sad eyes.......

Today my Amanda lovingly wrote on my facebook wall "Ashley, try to talk dad into letting you come down and seeing me Saturday Afternoon. We can also go see making music :)" I was so excited! I haven't seen my big sis in ages! SO I rang my father and said, "Father! I think we need to go see my sister, Amanda because I love her and I want to go to making music!!!!" His verry enthusiastic reply was as follows, "Ashley poo, I could care less about making music, and I really just want to be home with my family." By this point I was wondering why I get this excuse everytime I wanna do something. So I had to think fast, I couldn't put on my "sad" eyes because we weren't in person, remember I rang him. So I put on this cute little girl voice, you know the kind thats saying I really want something but I doubt it will happen but I'm just gonna try anyway? Well I used that and I begged like a begger begging for food when he came back with what he thought of as a good come back "Ashley poo, I just wanna spend some time with my family..." Ok now HOLD UP!!! Is Amanda SMITH not a part of his family??? So I was getting adgitated now. I finally just decided I wasn't gonna talk to him, and if I was it was gonna be a short answer. I think he kinda got the point and now Amanda isn't gonna come home next time he asks her! We're going on strike!
