At the end of next week, my senior year will be 1/4 of the way over. It is really hard to imagine that my four years of high school education are almost over. I remember the seniors my freshman and sophomore years saying that high school flies by and I just kinda shrugged it off, thinking to myself, "what do they know, they're just seniors." And now the infinite knowledge and wisdom that we seniors possess (haha) is bringing things into perspective. Four years of hanging out with great friends, maturing, doing what you love extra-curricular wise, and other things go really quickly. I am not saying that I am not ready for college, because I am pumped and ready to move on to non-highschoolness, but I am pleased with the way that God has allowed me to grow in the last four years. PEACE.

My week is going pretty well so far. And on top of it, I have an action packed weekend to top it all off. Saturday is our very first contest, BOA Arlington(Bands Of America). I will be busy with that from about 9:00 in the morning until 12:00 that night. We will be performing(hopefully twice if all goes well in Pre-lims) and then watching some of the top bands in the country perform their shows. But there is more to my weekend than this, which makes me sound like a huge band nerd. On Sunday I have the privilege to teach Sunday school for the Middle schoolers in our Church. I am very excited about this opportunity. It is one of the ways that God is sharpening me lately. AND THEN, get this, No School Monday............I know....it can't get much better than that.

It has been a really long time since I last posted. I have been very busy with band and everything that I just haven't been doing this. The good news is that i only have about another month of marching band. Bad news is that my life doesn't get any less busy due to wrestling season starting at that same time. Oh well, i guess i can't have the fun of being involved with activities such as band and wrestling without putting in the work too. Despite the work involved, i am very excited about wrestling season this year. Hopefully it will end in me taking a trip down to Austin for the state tournament.
