Yesterday's games practice was good. The rest of the team showed up, and most of them actually practiced. :) We were able to go through most of the games. On the girl's side, basketball needs work, I think we found our 3-legged team, and we shaved off 3 seconds on balloon relay. Pretty good practice. The guys were doing well on balloon relay, but I'm not sure on the others. I think we found our tug team as well. Overall it was a good practice. We'll see how the next one goes.

Well...
Yesterday's quiz practice was interesting. We only had quizzing because today was the T&T Bible Quiz meet, and our coaches are also T&T coaches. Also, our head coach lost his job yesterday. We don't know much information, or how this will effect us as a team, but knowing him he will still be at the meet. Anyway, without an adult actually leading practice it was a bit crazy. We each took turns asking questions, but being that only 3 of us have actually studied...well I think you can guess how practice went. Please pray for our coach, thanks. Have a great day!

Amazing!
O.K., last night's practice was totally a God-thing! I'm excited for the potential of the team!
First, quiz practice started out a little dissapointing. We have two teams (8 quizzers), but only 4 were there for practice. One was sick, and 2 were on a church retreat. The other one blew us off and I know that because his dad is one of our coaches. I was really dissapointed in him... The first practice is a bit different than the others because not many people have studied yet. Other than that, practice went well.
Games-well, most of the Trek team was there, but because of church retreats this weekend the varisty team only had 7 people there. There was 3 guys and 4 girls. Since we had such a small group, we just practiced with the jr. highers. I felt that the whole night went extremely well. Everyone was able to get to know each other's strengths and we bonded together as a team (well, the people that were there anyway). We all stayed focused and were able to go through a ton of games and time trials. Despite what some people think, you can have fun even though you're focused on a task. Thankfully, all went well. Now I'm just worried about the next practice, cuz the people who don't focus will be there...but I guess I'll just have to rely on God. A good foundation will stand (see Luke 6:46-49 for a story about this), and I think that's what we have. I just hope it stays.

Getting closer...
We now have our airline tickets. The prices were fairly high, then dropped pretty low-so we bought them on a great deal. We're glad we waited and jumped at the chance, cuz now the prices are back up.
Not a lot has been going on other than putting details together. I have decided to enter a public speaking entry as well as a piano solo entry. We'll see how it goes, but I'm excited!
As far as quiz goes, we have just about finished writing questions. Study time goes up a notch as our regional meet is March 1st.
