New Member to Our Family!!!

We've FINALLY found her!!!

We've found our cute, little, sweet, and adorable little girl!

I am soooo happy to be posting this right now. Yesterday we decided to adopt her, and I right away wanted to get on here and post, but our internet wasn't working. AAHH!!! That was sooooooo annoying! But here I am! Ready to post!

We have chosen a little girl off the waiting child list.

Mei Lin was born in January, so she is 10 months old right now, soon to be 1!!

We are hoping to be able to travel to China this spring and get her. Our whole family will probably go with unless we have WAY to much school and stuff. . . that would really stink though!

We have some pictures posted below, and I hope you like them! We will keep you posted if we get anymore updates!

Getting to the Pointe!

You may have heard. . .or you may not have, but I finally got my first pare of Pointe Shoes!!! It took a little bit, there were some delays in which I won't go into right now, but I finally got them! I know it's a little late, and I've had them for a couple of weeks, but I've just been so busy! Anyway, I've decided to write a quick entry.

So, it was Wednesday, November 1st, and I was in the car on my way to get my Pointe shoes! I was so happy! It seemed like the LONGEST drive of the week, but finally we drove into the parking lot of Spells. (The dancewear store)
When we walked into the store my friend, Dancing Writer, was being fitted for hers. (We all went as a class) Then it was another girls, and anothers, and anothers, and one more girls turn, and I was SO, um. . .not nervous, but maybe excited and anxios. Then, it came my turn. We only had to try on a couple pairs of shoes (Which it took the other girls like 6 - 9 pairs at max.) to find the right kind. My teacher asked me to go up on pointe, and thinking it would hurt I went up. . . I thought it would, but it didn't!
So when we got home, I was really excited and wore them around the house like all night! My mom, having the same size shoe, tryed them on and tried going up, and she said it hurt REALLY REALLY bad! I don't understand that. . .but thast just my mom!

So now my little sister, Miyah, ever since I get them has been getting her little pink slippers that look like ballet shoes and saying, "Mommy! Look, I'm on pointe like Megan!"
She is going to be a true ballerina! She can already do a lot of ballet steps!

And I just felt like I had to blog about that. I am so happy, and I've had two Pointe Classes. It's soooooo much fun! (Sorry, the pictures aren't working...I'll have to post them later!) And everyone:

HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Chicago Trip

Wow! I've just got to say, this Chicago trip that I went on last weekend has been awsome! Here is what we did...

It was early in the morning, around 5:15 when I woke up. I heard my alarm clock go off, and I suddenly jumped out of bed, and remembered today was the day! I said to myself, "I'm going to Chicago today!" I was so happy, I would have jumped for joy, but my legs weren't really that awake yet. So instead of jumping I went to see if my mom was awake, but right when I was about to go into her room, if heard her hit the 'snooze' button on her alarm clock. So I went in there, and what do you know! She was asleep. So I woke her up, and said, "MOM! You have to get up! We are going to Chicago today!!" She woke up, right away and started to get ready...

After I was all ready, got all my stuff packed and sat around waiting for my mom, we were off to the airport! I was so excited! I couldn't believe we were really on our way to Chicago! So after our super long wait in security we finally got to our gate and got on the airplane. On the flight I read my book and listened to my iPod.

One hour later we got off the airplane. I was so excited to see my friends Jenna and Jami! (I've know them since I was three years old...) So my mom and I got our baggage and suddenly my mom saw my friends! We met up and said 'hi' and went to the car. Jenna and Jami handed me my birthday present and said, "Open it!" So, I couldn't resist not opening it. I was so happy, I opened it and I got my favorite Disneychannel movie called 'Highschool Musical' and one of my favorite christian bands called 'Superchick' (I know, its a weird name, but I couldn't name the band!).

So we went shopping for a long time. We ate lunch and did more shopping. Then we left at 5:50 to go to a Hannah Montana concert! The only thing was, is that the trafic was really bad, so it took us 1 hour and 10 or 15 minutes to get 7 miles! I couldn't believe it, and I thought we were going to miss Hannah Montana. But we got there when she was just finishing up her first or second song, so I was happy. We heard all the rest of her songs and then the Cheetah Girls came on. The Cheetah Girls were a little weird (sorry to all those Cheetah Girl fans! But lets just say I'm not their #1 fan...) so we left and went back to the hotel. I was so happy though, I got to see Hannah Montana live in concert!(Hannah Montana [or Miley Cyrus] ROCKS!!) Its was so cool, but since I screamed so loud at the top of my lungs, my throat hurt the rest of the night. So when we all got back to the hotel Jenna, Jami and I all talked and watched Highschool Musical. Then we went to sleep.

Saturday I woke up, I looked around wondering where I was. I couldn't figure it out for a second, I thought, and then I remembered I was in Chicago! So I got up, showered, and then we went down to where they serve breakfast and got some breakfast and brought it back to the hotel room because our favorite Disneychannel show was one, cna you guess what it was? Of course! Hannah Montana! (of course! why do you think we went to go see her in concert?)So afterward we watched Suite Life of Zack and Cody (my second favorite disneychannel show) and than we went on a trysicle thingy bike. That was pretty fun. That we took a water taxi to right infront of the Sears tower thinking we were going to go up to the top up the Sears, but no, wile we were in the taxi it started to sprinkle just a little bit. So we got out, and it seemed that right as we steped out of the taxi it started to rain even harder. Soon it started rain even harder till it started to pore really hard. So we were running EVERYWHERE to find a place to get inside, but we couldn't find anywhere that was open. We kept running and finally got inside some building. We called a taxi to take us back to the hotel. When we got to the hotel we changed out of our clothes and then we went to eat lunch at some pizza place where you can write on the walls! It was pretty fun being able to write on the wall for once in my life! After eating we went to the gap, and my friends and I had fun trying on really weird clothes. Then we just walked around downtown a lot. We went back to the hotel later and we watched movies (Highschool Musical and one other) and talked, then we went to sleep.

Sunday we really didn't do much. Our plane left for home at 1:30 so we really couldn't. We just got ready, ate breakfast and we got packed up to leave. We went to the airport and talked on the way. We left Chicago at 1:32 P.M. It was sooooooo sad that we had to leave...

I had a really good weekend! The two highlights were to see my best friends, and to see Hannah Montana!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooo happy I got to see her in concert, and I still can't believe I did! Well, I just thought I'd write a post about that. Hope you enjoyed that and the pictures! (I have links to Miley Cyrus.com and HannahMontana.com if you guys want to check them out!)

First day of school

Yesterday was a great day. I was laying in bed having a wonderful dream when some voice woke me up. It was the radio on my alarm clock. I groaned, reached over and pushed the "snooze" button. I sat there laying in bed then suddenly remembered that today was my first day of school. I wasn't sure if I sould be excited or disappointded, but I knew I wanted to go to sleep. Then suddenly I thought that if I waited any longer my brother would get in the shower and take FOREVER to get ready. So I hopped out of bed, picked out some clothes, and went to the shower.

After I was done getting ready I heard my brother say, "You took forever in the bathroom. Some other people need to get ready you know."
I do admit I took awile. It was like 15 min. before I was ready!

I went to clean my room get my books together and I went downsairs to eat breakfast. I got downstairs and my mom said, " Would you like me to make you some eggs?" I said yes and started to unload the dishwasher.

A couple min. my next door neighbor Hannah came over. (we are taking the same class so we are carpooling) I was almost done when I heard somebody say, "Megan come and eat your eggs, we have to leave in less than 5 min!" It was my mom. I likes to leave on time. I ate my eggs and we got in the car and we were off!

First my brother has camp for his school so we had to drop him off at Trees 'n' Trends. Then we had like 40 min. before my class started so we were depating what we sould do in that time. My mom was going to go to starbucks but the drive through was to long so we just drove over to the little church that my school meets at.

We got there and we had 20 min. left until our class started. So what did we do? Well we started Learning Newtens 2nd Law of motion. (boring, I know) After trying and having no success, we started playing with my sister and laughing. Hannah and I both turned around and saw a couple people going into their class. A boy was walking up and she said, "Hey! That kid looks farmiliar." I looked and what do you know! IT was my good friend Dancing Writer brother! I looked over and saw her mom in the car. I said, "Yeah, that's Dancing Writer's brother."
"Oh, yeah. I remember him."

There was only 5 more min. left. My sister started saying she had to use the restroom so my mom took her in and said we should come in and wait for our class to start. We got inside and I looked around the room and saw alot of people I'd seen before.

A couple min. later we went into class. We have a really nice teacher. We learned about gravity. =^( Boring stuff. We did an experiment, and she gave us our homework sheet and then we had to leave.

It was a pretty boring day besides that. Hannah came over and we finished a Nancy Drew game, and just hung out. Pretty boring right?

Well thats all for right now. I'll try to post some more.

What I've been up to...

Well were do I start?

Well for the 4th of July we really didn't do much. We just had one of our friends come over for dinner and then we lit off fireworks. My whole family had fun.

Then July 5th we went on vacation to the old dairy state WI. My whole family and I stayed up there for 10 days and spent time with our family. Everyone came home but me and I went to visit my friends in IL. We had lots of fun. We went to the children's museum, they had some friends over and we watched some movies. After staying there for a week my two friends and I came home together and they stayed here for 5 days. We had fun just hanging out and playing games wile they were here. It was sad to say goodbye to them when they left. I was really sad and after that there was nothing to do.

Now I'm just siting at home reading and playing video games with my brother and playing with my friend that lives next door. Its nothing to thrilling. Thats all I've really been up too.....
