Well, I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! The Christmas I got to spend with my family rocked. I ended up making my nephews Harry Potter wands because they love Harry Potter. They take after their aunt. They ended up loving the wands. We had a wizard’s duel after opening presents. It was awesome. XD All of the family festivities were spectacular, too.

One of the things that I am so psyched about this year is that I got my girls Lacrosse stick.

BOOSH!!

It’s the Brine Pixie, for those who care.

So, some of you may be wondering why I asked for a Lacrosse stick. The answer: I’m going to be on the team this year! I’ll be a middie (mid fielder), and I’m number 7. I’m way excited. (In case you can’t tell.) But I’m also nervous. I’ve never played an actual game of lax in my life. However, I thoroughly enjoy watching it and tossing around. I’ve apparently got a pretty good throw. Now I just need to work on everything else . . . I thought I would give Lax a shot though. I wouldn’t call myself a very sporty person, mostly because I am no good at sports, but Lax is one of the few sports I’ve found I can actually play.

I’ve been practicing a ton with my friends and on my own lately. I’ve loved every minute of it so far. One of my dear friends actually taught me how to string my stick and made it so that the release point in my net will be different and match my throw better. I’ve already noticed the difference. I can’t wait to learn more and actually start playing. Basically, be prepared to hear about a lot of Lax stuff from me from now on. Of course, I’ll post all my game updates as well. I’ll probably get clobbered, but it’ll be worth it, right?

At least I’ll have stories to tell.

But who’s excited for the New Year? I know I am! I’ve got a lot planned for New Year’s Eve. XD I can’t wait! I’ll be out with a laxer bro of mine to go bowling. I’m going to make a fool of myself. HA!

When midnight rolls around, I also get to set off floating lanterns. I can hardly wait! I’ve gotta give a shout-out to the awesome Winward’s who gave us the lanterns in the first place. I’m incredibly giddy over the idea of being able to light them off. I’m a major Tangled fan.

Well, Happy New Year!
