Tournament and other random stuff.

Holy cow I love Seattle!!! I do believe I found were I want to live some day. I'm loving all the rain were getting, its such a nice change to dry ol' Colorado.
When we rode on the Fairy I felt so poetic and artistic. I enjoyed it sooo much, The wind in my hair and rain falling gently on my cheeks. It was amazing you all should have been there.
The tournament is going really well for all of us. Zack and my duo is doing really well so far, Our first round was so far the best. We didn't mess up once!!! I was so proud of us. Our second was good but we don't feel like its the best. We have one more round to go before we know if we break.
Everyone else's duo is doing amazing. Josiah and Jennie's got a lot of laughs and people seem to love it :)
Josh, Ashley, and Zach are all running around like mad men, and we hardly see them until we get to the hotel. But there doing great in everything there doing :D
The lovely debaters are doing great, Sarah, Caleb, and I have been good children and have watched every round so far. We were obviously BORED!!!

Well I shall say good bye for now cause were gonna go get lunch :)

Love you all and wish you were here,

RAIN RAIN GO AWAY!

SO We get to the car this morning and Jennie's hair is all curly and pretty and then there is the rest of us.... BLA! lol My hair is not doing so great... it's defiantly very odd. Speaking of hair! Amber and my duo is doing really good :) We have found some pixie dust and are having fun! Caleb, Hannah, and I have watched every debate round and so far our teams are doing amazing! They are all so competitive and professional! Yet when they are done they are still the same wacko people we all know and love! As far as I have seen all the speech's are doing really good too :) every one comes out pretty satisfied:) (RANDOM: There are realllly pretty flowers out side the window and with the rain it's soooo amazing! Isn't God good! oh and miss Kim is taking pictures ;) lol )
But yes God has been really good giving us some really cool "friend time". I'm getting to know a lot of people better old friends are becoming closer and new friends are poping up every where! I could talk for ever right about now but I won't bore you any more! lol

BUT we have breaks tonight for debate and maybe IE so keep us in your prayers :)

We'll keep you updated!

WHERES THE CREAM FILLING?!?

WHERES THE CREAM FILLING?!? i ask this because when we first arrived in seattle I found it all to be extremely bland. but that was before I found the cream filling, the true reason to fly to seattle if even for a day.
and that was...THE MUSIC MUSEUM! it was freakin awesome! i was in sev enth heaven, as was josiah. we went back the next day and actually recorded one of the songs we have been working on for some time and havent been able to record. So as for the begining of the trip it has been freakin awesome. Tomorrow we start competition. Im extremely nervous but weather we win or loose I have no regrets of flying out for this very enjoyable trip and escape with all my friends.

I FREAKIN LOVE YOU GUYS!
Zack
