More About Me :)

I'm back from eating my cookies! Yum! Anyways, I thought I would tell you more about me. Softball season is ending, and I'm very sad! We have our final tournament this weekend. I'm playing in it, and umping. And then on the Sunday, after the medal ceremony, I'm going to try and go to part of out wind-up dinner, and then straight to the theatre to get into make-up and costume for my singing teacher's big year end show! I'm singing On My Own from Les Mis. I love that play!

I was in Alice in Wonderland (the musical) in May, with a group called Xtreme Theatre, a home-school, Christian theatre group. That was my 7th year with them, and I got to play Alice on cast 2! It was a blast, and I feel so blessed to have had such a fun experience. I was even in the news paper twice! Here's one of the pictures they used:

I didn't even know someone from the newspaper came! Good thing I wasn't sticking my tongue out at my sister or something... tee hee... :]

Anyways, have a good night! I'm tired... zzzzzzz........

Summertime, Please?!?

Hello all! I'm on summer break now! Hallelujah! Well, I've go some Math left, but that's all. I'm so happy! There's just one thing missing. What's that, you say? SUN! Is anybody with me on that one?? I want to sun tan! Actually, I guess in my case you would call it sun burning. Not that I enjoy looking like a tomato... I just don't want to give up all hope of ever getting a real tan. Ok? Ok.



I took my gr. 7 practical exam on June 10th, and I just found out today that I passed! Phew! Yes, it was by the skin of my teeth (and my teeth have very thin skin!), but I still passed! I'm a bit of a procrastinator... have you heard the saying, "Procrastinators: leaders of tomorrow."? Yeah, that would be me. My poor piano teacher... I'm very lucky that she's put up with me for 10 years!!

Well, I've got to go do important things now. Like eat homemade chocolate chip cookies... mmm... catch ya later!

Happy Father's Day, Dad!

As you all should know, today is Father's Day! I thought this would be a perfect time to introduce you too my Dad, Craig. (Not Greg- he gets really ticked off when people call him that) :D

This is my Dad (on the left, obviously) with my Mom:

He is a great, hard-working man who always provides for his family. He comes out to my softball games, watches the musical theatre plays my sister Emma (12) and I (14) are in, and he's a total goof! (without embarrassing me in front of my friends)

I love you Dad!!

Meet Sarah

Hello! I'm Sarah-Jill! Actually, my name is Sarah. Plain and simple, Sarah. Hence the name of my blog. But I have two middle names, and with the first one being Jill, I thought it would be more unique to hyphenate the two. There are just simply too many Sarahs! When I was younger, I used to fantasize that my name was Anastasia. But my mom said that if she had named me that, I would be a teenager by the time I could spell it. I disagree. And for a while I tried to get my friends to call my Sadie (a nick-name for Sarah). It didn't last long. This blog is about my life! I thought it would be a good way to keep up my writing skills over the summer. Plus, I just love to write! And sing, and act, and play softball, and rollerblade, and go on friends' trampolines, and... well, you get the idea. I'm very active. So, I hope you enjoy reading it!

Take care,
Sarah-Jill
(fine, Sarah)
