OK, wow. I just realized that I haven't updated on here in FOREVER, and that the last time I updated it was about Matt!!! OK, so his death was-is- sad, but there is some AWESOME news!!!!!!!!!!

OK, prepare yourselves.

FIVE PEOPLE GOT SAVED AT HIS FUNERAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, the pastor gave a salvation type thing, and later at least 5 people went up to Matt's parents to tell them that they recieved Christ. At least. My dad only heard about 5, but the pool party was only half over when he heard it so yeah. Yeah, they actually had a pool party on the day of his funeral for all of his friends. It was only because Matt had already planned a pool party and they wanted to do something special for him. So yeah. They did that.

Ok, I only have a couple of minutes so I'm going to quickly run through everything that has been happening since then. Let's see. Well, I killed my 2 birds. I left the nonstick pan on high for 2 hours on accident, and the fumes are poisonous to parakeets, so yeah. Ya'll get it. We now have 2 new birds. One is Katrina, or Trina, a parakeet. She is sooo sweet. The other bird is a parrotlet, Sophie. A parrotlet is a mini parrot, but they don't squack like the big ones. Sophie is only like 4 inches tall. Anyway, she is still being hand-fed, so we have to wait until she's weaned before we can bring her home. Won't be too long. The bird guy said that we might be able to bring her home this weekend if she's ready. So yeah.

I've started band camp. Actually, now it's ending. These are the last 3 days, ending tomorrow. We had a performance for the parents, which stunk. The picnic was fun, though lol.

I've got my class schedule. I have absolutely NO classes with Stacey, which stinks. I have one with Ally, PE, just like last year.

Well, must go. Until!!!

Love in Christ,
All His own,
