Hi guys! I forgot to mention... I moved down south to the main US! For my dad's job we move back and forth every few years, but we'll be staying here for a while. I have friends in both places!

Wow! Well, that's good you have friends in both places! I really don't understand any feelings about moving, because I have never.

WOW, really? So no longer in Alaska? That's really cool, I've moved a lot so I understand any mixed emotions about moving.

Yep, no more Alaska for a while. I don't really mind though, I like changing things up a bit!

This week's quote: "You can fool all of the people some of the time; you can fool some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time." ~ Abraham Lincoln and P.T. Barnum...Have a great week! :)

What sports do you guys play? My volleyball season is just about over...I have a couple of more practices and then I'll be done. I've been playing for 6 years, so it's crazy that this year's club season has already come to an end!

I do swim and dive! I just had a meet, and I'm so happy I scored good on my triple twist. My last practice was yesterday, and then summer swim starts in about two weeks. I also do triathlons, but I haven't had one of those for a while.

I play volleyball and I still newbie to volleyball! I first started playing back in December and playing it since. This week would be my last practice then done for season! This summer I will go to my new high-school volleyball camp and play beach volleyball with girls that I never met before lol! I also hope to play for my high-school volleyball team and I have to go to 3-days tryouts this August so...

I play soccer, 8 years already. Time has flown!

Cool! I don't play any sports, but I looooove watching them!

I actually don't play a sport but if I did, I would definitely choose volleyball

The school year is going by quickly and I can't wait for summer!

I know, right?! I can't wait for summer to finally arrive! But when summer is over, I'll start high school, and I'm so nervous to start lol

Oof, I'm going to be a freshman too. A lot of mixed feeling :(

Yeah, just how did we land on freshman so soon?! Yeah, I agree; lot of mixed feelings but at least we will be in high-school together!

LOL, yes!!! I can’t even believe it! High school??? I mean, wow! And yes, at least we can suffer together! 😂

Yeah! My mom was like, "No, you gotta stop growing! I just couldn't believe that you'll be in high-school!" LOL! 🤣Yeah, agreed!

I'm not going to be a freshman.. still in middle school. :(

Enjoy middle school while it lasts, trust me high school comes soon enough

Yeah, I agree. She'll start middle school this year. I remember being sixth grader nearly 3 years ago and now I'm eighth grade going on ninth grade! @doggiechristmas, high-school would come around so QUICKLY

Same! Can't wait for summer.

Me too, although I'm terrified for high school next year!

Same here! I have feelings ranging from dread to excitement

Oh, I'm sure you will be fine. I have a couple of years until high school 😂

Today I have a very special shout-out to @bsc I didn't really think you got a lot of those so here is your very own shout-out lol

Aw, thanks. It has been a while since I have been on here, so it's nice to see this!
