12th-
At the first softball practice of the season, we are having relay races. This
entails two teams with 5 people each. One person on each team starts with the
ball and throws it to a teammate. The teammates continue to throw the ball to
each other down the line to the last person. The last person but them return
the ball back to the person who threw it to them and all the way back to the
first person in line. The first team to throw it all the way down and back
wins. I was the second to last person in the line. I threw it to the last
person and they threw it back. When I went to catch the ball it tipped off my
glove and split open my lip and gum. I got 9 stitches total only later to have
it recut open and stitched up because it didn’t heal right. The only reason I
remember exactly when this happened is because this is the day Elizabeth Smart
was found alive.

drink I had a kiss count on my arm and the goal was to get 21 kisses on the
lips by the end of the night.
21st
(about)- My mom and I start making the road trip down to our new house in
Florida. We stop in North Carolina at my Uncle Walt (my mom’s brother) and Aunt
Jen’s house. After we leave North Carolina we wind up meeting up with my Uncle
Joe (my dad’s brother), Aunt Lillian, cousin Steven, and his fiancé for dinner
in Jacksonville. Then we stop in Orlando for my last Wawa before heading back
to school. I can’t believe Wawa has made it all the way to central Florida!
We
make it to our place by 10 at night only to discover that one of the air
conditioners is broken and the other one has low batteries so we can’t set it.
The house is 93 degrees. We wind up spending the night in a hotel, which was a
terrible end to a long drive (that the last 3 hours were in pouring rain).
Everything worked out and I got to enjoy out new house for about a week before
coming back to school
