 Hey there! I hope everything is good with you and you're family!Now that school and everything is getting settled in, I hope to blog a little bit more. Please comment some blog posts that you would like me to do and then when I get some ideas, I will try to get a scedule set up. So, this post is just a little update on how I've been! This is mostly from August, September, and October!  AUGUST: I quit gymnastics and started vollyeball! Quitting gymnastics was a hard diesicion but I think I made the right choice. We had volleyball practice almost 5 days a week, almost 3 hours every practice, but practice makes perfect!  SEPTEMBER: I started an etsy for my business in Septemebr! You can check it out  here. At the end of September, I went to Arizona! I had so much fun!! I'm hoping to make a post about my trip so I won't say much now. But, I want to say, I went to the Grand Canyon while I was in Arizona! OK. I'll stop talking about Arizona for now and save it for later...
