A Great Music Video

This video is one of my favorites! It features Lucas Till (also in Hannah Montana: The Movie) who I think is frankly quite cute. :D This song by Taylor Swift is also awesome. "You Belong With Me" has lyrics that I think almost everybody can relate to. I love how she writes songs about real experiences in life. Thanks for the cool video, Taylor!

Another Track Meet (At Capital High School)

Well, yesterday my school had a track meet at Capital in Olympia. This was my first time actually doing track there. (The last time I was there was in sixth grade, when we found out--shortly after arriving there--that the meet had been canceled.) Anyway, I got 2nd in 50, and 2nd in relay. But the real highlight of the night (for me) was long jump. I got scratches for both the practice and the first jump. My teacher--who I didn't know was coming--encouraged me. Because of that, I jumped 12' 7" for my second jump, beating my PR by two inches. Before the last jump, Mr. S. (my teacher) told me to concentrate on going high. With that in mind (and God on my side), I totally crushed my new record--by one foot! I jumped 13' 7"! Praise God! Afterward, my family had a Bible study and went outside for marshmallows and fireworks. It was so fun! My cousin and I slept at 1:12. :D (BTW, the party thing was because it was the our last study in the book of John.) Well, I hope y'all have a great day!
