Catching up..

So here are some smaller topics to get caught up on. Right now Brett is in BELIZE!!! with our church on a mission trip. They are building a pre-school. We have built the 1st story 2 staircases and now Brett's group is working on the 2nd story. He has been there since July 2 when he left at 3:30 a.m and I went to say bye. He'll get back...well I don't know when but he's there for 10 days total so. In May I tried out for Colorado United Soccer and made the U-13 Girls Red team. I have been swimming a bunch and prelims are on Thursday then Finals are on Saturday if I make it. I don't know what to say except if you want you can scroll down because I think I have posted 5 (including this one) new posts in the last 2 days. School starts in about one and half months, so not ready for that, and officially my summer is busier than the school year.
