FINE & DANDY

With all the stress of school and due dates hanging over your head, it's hard to find time to hang out with your friends and be stupid together. 

But I'm thankful that the past couple of weeks have been filled with much laughter and exciting moments.

My little baby Emma (the cute redhead in my arms) turned fifteen last month, and we celebrated by having a stereotypical Floridian beach party. The weather was perfect, for once, and the sunburns on our backs were proof of a fantastic morning.

A Sarah and Kalli date was long overdue, so we decided to go downtown and try our hand at painting pottery (I'm a little afraid to see the end results). We then decided to have a mini photo shoot because that's just kinda the thing you do when you're surrounded by beautiful, abandoned homes and perfect white walls, right?

Krynnie and I finally got together after about four months of failed attempts!! We went to see that new maze runner movie, and it turned out to be a very interesting night because 1) the movie was way more scary and gory than we thought it would be, 2) we were so scared but yet we were laughing our butts off at the same time, so ??? 3) a random woman decided to turn the movie theater aisles into a catwalk.

TEAM PHOTO DAY! Words cannot describe how much I love all these girls! And taking pictures with them is a blast and a hassle all in one so it's always a wonderful adventure. Photo day is probably my favorite thing about volleyabll. I mean, who needs all those stressful games and matted ponytails?! Not me! 

HERE'S TO GOOD TIMES & GOOD FRIENDS. 

BACK TO THE GRIND

VOLLEYBALL HAS STARTED, ONCE AGAIN! Which means that my knees are now covered in bruises the size of my fist. Oh how I love this sport!! 

I may or may not be being sarcastic. 

No but really, even though I'm not a huge fan of the stressful games and Coach yelling at me every two seconds, I love my girls. They're the best and always so encouraging! We make the best out of being bench warmers and look good as heck in our uniforms, hence all the photos.

This year we're losing a lot of great seniors, including my girl Kryn!!! That's right, she's all grown up and ready to take on the world, and looking fabulous while doing it, of course. Honey, I love you so much! I'm really going to miss you on the court next year! We definitely need to have that "play in your pearls and high heels" game before you graduate because priorities!

For the win!

Last night, our homeschool volleyball team beat some public schoolers, and basically our whole town came to watch. (and by "whole town", I mean about thirty people.) Maybe it was our wonderful signs and cheering that made them win, or maybe it was their awesome skills...or maybe it was both!

Behold, the tallest volleyball player I know. Jacquelyn is 6'4" and made of 100% beast. Trust me, you don't want to be under one of her hits!! They're powerful enough to knock out a tooth or two.

And this is Trish. She's just like Jacquelyn, but half the size! But don't let her height fool you because she's a pro!

And here we have our little cheerleaders. They did a great job at screaming and making sure everyone heard them. They were so cute though, and really got the crowd cheering! 

And what better way to end a wonderful win than a trip to Chick-Fil-a?! It's kind of a tradition that we go there after a game, but the other team must've been thinking the same thing because when we got there, there the line was wrapped around the whole restaurant. Oh well, the more the merrier! 

So fat the season is going great, let's hope we can keep up this winning streak!
