3rd Place @ MindSay 
well it's better than 4th place.
girls got 1st in the meet and boys got 2nd. our girl's team is always better than our boy's team. it's always been like that.
but the top 3 placers in every event got medals. lots of people got medals in lots of events. i was in the 4x100 and we got 3rd. so. naturally. every leg got a little tiny medal. it's not that fascinatingly great or big or anything. i just think it looks nice. plus i've never really gotten a medal for anything other than participation in soccer. i thought i'd share. :D
and in other news. i got a book from Postsecret. i ordered it off amazon.com and it came in today. i love it. i just finished it a couple of minutes ago. seriously. it's an amazing thing what these people are doing. lots of those secrets sent chills down my spine. it was crazy but i just couldn't stop reading. i even sat there and told myself that i was wasting my time because i need to start reading my book for english but i seriously just could not put it down. it's an amazing book. hopefully i'll get all three they've published. here's a picture i took of it.

Malaga Mud Wars
I just got home form Mud Volleyball, more offically named Malaga Mud Wars. Malaga is the...I want to say town, but it's certianly not that, it's not even a village...Malaga is the 'area' right outside of Loving where Teresa (The Christian Educator at my church, we all know this by now, right?) lives. Anyway, they flooded part of the feilds and set up nets. The churches that ended up showing up were us (FPC-Carlsbad), FPC-Dexter (Derek's church), First Baptist-Loving, and a couple of people from the Lutheran church C-bad and FPC-Hobbs. Over all, it was an okay time. Hardly anyone from my church came, which is pretty lame.
My team did pretty well, we got 3rd place over all out of 7 teams. The only team we lost to was the team that ended up winning- but we lost to them twice. That's not really what's important, but it was fun to win most of our games. I am so horrible at vollyball, right before our last game my dad (who was on my team and really got into it, :P I love my dad.) finally taught me how to serve. (We were playing constant rotation and every point no matter who served counted. Other rules were mostly wavered as well.) So during the last game, I served, got it over the net, and we scored! I felt awesome, it was a small acomplishment, but it felt good.
The weirdest thing was that not only was Derek's youth group there, but Derek's youngest brother Ethan was there AND Derek's mother Linda was there. That was awkward, and made me really miss Derek. His mom caught me right away (she's always been pretty nice to me, if a little clueless) and said what I suppose were supposed to be supportive words, and then told me that if I ever wanted to come up to Cruces with them I was welcome to. Uh, yeah right Linda. I don't think that's going to happen any time soon. I'd probably start crying as soon as I saw him. Gah.
When we got there, Em and I lead a couple of energizers (as usually not too many people perticipated, but that's cool.) Then it started storming, but it blew over pretty quickly and the sun came out. We were put into teams and played our games until probably about 5 when we went back to Teresa's house and got a bit cleaned up and such, then sat outside to eat hotdogs and corn and whatnot. Wes (youth pastor from Loving) lead a small devotional and proceeded to pray for 243298 minutes, making me very happy I'm not a Baptist.
As we were driving home and just sitting quietly in the car, I was thinking about Derek. I'm doing a better job moving on now, but I still miss him alot, especially today. I will always have a special place in my heart for him. When I was really starting to feel down, I looked out the window and saw one of the hugest rainbows I have ever seen. "Okay God," I thought "I get it, everything is going to be okay." I hope everyone in Carlsbad saw that rainbow, and thought the same thing.
