I'M BACK!!!!

I'm back!!!!! Yay! It feels soooo good to be home! :-) I don't know how much my mom told you, but last week I was in Springfield, Missouri for a basketball tournament, over spring break. (National Homeschool & Christian Educated Championships) It's where teams from all across the country (mostly homeschool teams/leagues, but a few private schools too) come and participate in a tournament. It was AWESOME!!! We were a little off on our game (meaning we could've done better...) but we walked away with 6th place in the 5A division, for the 14&U (14 and under) girls. (5A is the 2nd best division there [6A is the best], and there are 8 places in each division.) I went with my friend Rachel and her mom, and everyone from our team stayed at our hotel (us and a team from Fayetteville, Arkansas took up the whole hotel! LOL.) and we all went to each other's games. It was nice to get away for a week with my friends, play one of my favorite sports, seeing some friends I'd met at State and on other teams before, and meet new people...but I am SOOOOO glad to be back! (I missed my bed lol.) It's so different up there in Missouri from where I live (oh, it's about a 12 hours drive, by the way. TWELVE HOURS!!!) and it was a good tournament and I can't wait to go back next year. (We won 2 games and lost 3.)
Anyways.....
Just wanted to say that I'm back, and that it will be me posting on my blog from now on, not my mom. :-)
(but boy does it look like I missed some great stuff last week...)
