My recommended black belt

So yesterday was the 17th and I actually got my recommended black belt!!!!

Yes I know Isaac got his black belt but I am happy for myself as well. =)

Alot of Isaac's friends came over and and watched him get his belt and came over to our house after for pizza. But I was with them almost the entire time though. Because I'm just awesome like that! ;)

Here are some pictures that my dad took.

On the left is me doing my weapon form and the one below is my regular form.

This is me doing my sparring:

This is my personal favorite picture of me...still sparring. But it's cool:

It was really awesome even though I had a bunch of teenage boys at my house + Grandma and Grandpa they came too.

Awesomeness at it's greatest

We are finally getting my room done!!!! My mom is painting the trim right now! We got all the things for my room while we were at Grandma and Grandpa's house so they got to see it all. We changed the theme from what I thought I wanted to something else so now my theme is CIRCLES!! Blue and green circles! I think everything in my room now is either blue or green It's super cool! Well everything except the walls "the walls are still going to be tan" says my mother. Which I think will look disgusting with blue and green stuff. Poor me =(
I even made my own artwork to put on my wall that might be my favorite thing in my whole room! (you know when I say something like that you will have to expect a picture...so expect a picture) But even with the tan walls it will still look really cool. I'm going to post lots of pictures of the things I got once they are all in my room! I can't wait!

Last night was testing. I am trying to get my recommended black belt.
Hopefully I did everything ok. I'm pretty sure I did. I don't think I messed up at all really.

Maybe I will post a pic of me with my belt when I get it.
That means I only have 3 more testing cycles before I can test for my black belt!!
I am going to one of my classes tonight. It will be my first time going as a rec black belt. I'll have to work on my board breaks I'm doing for my black belt testing which are the same ones Isaac did. They are the backwards elbow and the jump front kick head level. You might not understand that at all but it actually makes alot of sense.=)

I know if I got my belt nest Tuesday (the 17th). Wish me luck!

Possibly the greatest thing in a long time!

I have wanted a "new room" for a while now. With the painting and the new sheets and just make my room they I want it now because the last time I did my room was when I was about 6 or 7. Right now I have a lavender/purple color on my walls with baby pink wall decor.

Ya I'm ready....really ready. So I have been looking online and at stores to try and find some things that I might want in my "new room". I have found really nice sheets, some tye dyed curtains (they are blue and white), a new nightstand (because all I have right now is a box/crate and my new one that I want is a real white nightstand with a drawer and shelf =), I really cool turquoise lamp (for my new nightstand), a really comfortable chair that also looks awsome, and we are trying to find a rug to go with it all too. The thing is it will have to be my Christmas present so if I want it now they said that was 0k but I won't get stuff for Christmas. I think I can take that. So today we cleaned out my room and threw out a ton of stuff that I didn't need anymore so the next step is to take everything off my walls and to paint the baseboards so I am going to work on that maybe tomorrow if I have time.

Utah Trip

This post will probably have the most pictures EVER!! We will start from the beginning.

I did have some pictures of Isaac and me goofing around in the car at 11:30 on a Sunday night but for some reason he wouldn't let me post them! But they are really funny! =D

So when we got to Utah we had everybody go to the Mountain Meadow Massacre place which was pretty depressing but I went anyway. Of course it makes it easier when your 8 and 6 year old cousins you haven't seen in 6 years are begging you to go. =)

Sadly those are the only pictures I took while we were there but Isaac has alot more.

Here are some while we were on our way to the Grand Canyon.

We went over a bridge on our way. It was called the Navajo Bridge.It was Awesome! And HIGH!

Here are the actual pictures I took from the Grand Canyon.

I had never gone to the Grand Canyon before so it was really cool!!

Charlie

A little while ago my dwarf hamster died. He was the best behaved hamster EVER! He didn't bite or run away he just let you do what you wanted with him and he was okay with that.


I really wanted another one that was that tame so we went to the pet store (really the name of the store is PETS) and we asked if they were going to get any in soon. The worker said they didn't have any right then but would call us when they did. After I think a month we finally went and found two dwarf hamsters there. He's sooooo small!

Here he is. Sorry it's a little blurry.

He is almost as tame as the other one too!!! Like tame as in you can set him on the floor and he won't run off and look for a way out of the room! IT'S name is Charlie. Yes I said IT. They didn't know if it was a male or female. :) We are hoping it's a male because we all call it: he. So I thought of Charlie and actually I was joking at first but then my mom started laughing and said that would be a great name and she loved it. So if you want to say it the right way you say it like this: Cha-lee. :) It's the only way.

Shopping Trip

A little while ago I had a shopping trip with one of my friends and I thought I would put some of the things I got on my blog so here they are:

Since everybody already knows I love jackets here is one I found for only 3 dollars!!

We got alot of graphic T-shirts here are the ones I got. (She got alot more than me :) )

I have another one but I'm wearing it and don't feel like taking a picture of it.

And here are the jeans to go with my shirts. I got a couple pairs of these. In this picture they look really fat......they aren't that fat.


















Here are the adorable shoes I got to go with my new outfits! I love these shoes!







Now here is the best part I finally got a Sunday outfit. I also finally got a skirt with it. It's really hard to find skirts that fit me length and all that but I found one and it's super cute.





















And finally here are the shoes that go with my Sunday outfit.



And that was our wonderful shopping experience.
