Where I’m From

3 Comments

I am from SportsCenter

And the constant blabber of the TV

I am from a Saturday full of football

And a life full of sports

I am from an amazing family

And Christmas Casserole

I am from the annual Turkey Bowl

And lawnchair tennis

I am from my little twin bed

And a never clean bedroom

I am from all kinds of Apple products

And any kind of Nike clothing

I am from a fear of heights

And “C’mon, you can do it!”

I am from the old, rusted basketball goal outside

And the best friends ever

Basketball Tryouts

2 Comments

Last week, about 60 guys and I tried out for the West Ridge 7th grade basketball team. The tryouts were fun but also nerve wrecking, not knowing if you were going to be on the team or not. Luckily, I made the top 25 and made the team! I was very excited, but I knew I still had to prove what I could do to be on the A-team.

This week everyone that made the team congratulated each other and it all seemed happy, yet we all knew what was going to happen this week. The coaches would split us up. This week has been much tougher and I have been even more nervous than I was the first week. I feel like I have proven enough that I can make the A-team. The coaches will announce the teams tomorrow and I can’t wait!

Brad & Laura Wedding

Leave a comment

This past weekend, I went to my cousin Laura’s wedding. I have been anticipating this great event for quite some time now and it was a lot of fun. It was held in Dripping Springs and the site was beautiful. There was even a big bell tower that my brother and I got to ring at the end of the wedding ceremony.

Brad had always felt like family before the wedding made it official. He has been nice, funny, loving and caring to the whole family since we met him. He has always been a great guy to be around and he is always up for a competitive but playful game. Brad and Laura have seemed to really have that one in common.

In conclusion, the wedding was great and I am very happy. The food was great, too! Congratulations Brad and Laura!!!
