It is hard to keep up!!!!

I have been very busy lately, as usual:-) I am in two different classes for school. I take a Chemistry class under a College professor. I also take a class that has Literature, History, Geography, and Writing. Two of my friends moms teach the class. So with both of those classes I have a lot of Homework each week. I am also a procrastinator and don't do my work until the last minute. In Writing we are writing a 10 paged research paper. That is going to take a while. I am also doing Geometry this year in Math and I am trying to finish my Language and Spelling for the rest of the year. On top of all that, I am testing for my 2nd degree black belt in 26 days. So I am training for that as well. Training for black belt takes up a lot of my time and so it is really hard to get everything done. I am also in an all girls choir. This is my fifth year in the choir. I really enjoy singing and several of my friends are also in the choir. So I am a very busy person and it is hard to keep up with it all, but I just trust the Lord that He will help me get through and get everything that I need to get done done!!!

Ken's Corny Corn maze

Last night we went to Ken's Corny Corn maze. It is a 2 1/2 mile corn maze.I was in a group with Amanda and Ellie. It took us 56 minutes to get through the corn maze. We had a lot of fun. Each group gets a flag and a punch card. You are trying to find hole punches with the letter that you need on it. You carried a flag so that in case you couldn't get out you could wave it in the air above the corn stalks so that somebody could come and help you get out. We got lost several times and missed the boxes with the hole punches several times. Owen was in a group with Jason, Nathen, Mr. Rob, and Mr. Mark. Alexa and Ian were in a group with my dad and my grandpa. My group got out before Owen's group and Alexa and Ian's group. We were quite proud:-) Then afterwards we went to McDonald's for supper. After we were finished Ellie, Amanda, Alexa and I went and played on the playground. We knew that we were to big and we got stuck quite a few times:-) We took a video of each of us coming down the slide. It was really funny. We had a great time and I hope that we get to do it again soon.

She's gone:-(

Okay, as most of you know my mom is gone for the weekend. She has gone to Mississippi to be with one of her good friend's. Her friend's grandfather past away yesterday. He was like a father to my mom's friend. Her friend called my mom 40 minutes after his death and my mom just felt like she needed to go. I totally understand that. But I miss her terribly. She just left this morning and it has only been 4 hours but it has felt like forever. She will get back late on Sunday. I guess I didn't realize how much I needed her until she wasn't here. I know she will be back but I still miss her. I am just glad that she is coming back home on Sunday. It is only 3 days. I haven't ever gone this long without her. My dad will be here at night but I am here with Owen, Alexa, and Ian during the day. At least he will be home on Saturday. We are going to Ken's Corny Corn Maze on Saturday so that should be fun. I hope the time goes by quickly.
