Beastminster!

Tuesday night, the Beastminster team and I had our last game.  The team consists of Annie Williams, Claire Harvin, Margaret Banes Borden, Caroline Schraibman, Abigail Reddic, Bailey DeLoche, Marjorie Anne Foster, and potentially Clara Castles. We had an amazing season, from our traditional team breakfast/lunch/ice cream after each game, to messing around in practice (which probably ticked Mr. Borden off).  Yes, we were not the most serious team, but we are definitely very competitive.  However, we only played the minimum number of games because of our crowded schedules, but in each one we tried our hardest to win.
When I decided to do the team, I was unsure because these girls and I didn't really know each other well.  But after the season, I feel like these are some of my good friends.  Doing the team has expanded my friend relations greatly.  It's really crazy how one day a week with these girls have sparked new friendships among us.  I really look forward to doing Beastminster with them next year!

So basically thank y'all for dealing with my terrible basketball skills, giving me advice, and being a great group of friends to have this season. I hope we can do the same thing again next year!

Girl Friends

         Linking arms, skipping through Fantasyland in Disney, falling occasionally, and laughing so hard that we got disapproving looks from passing people.   That's what I was doing two Sundays ago at 3 AM in the morning with Landon and Emma.  My girl friends and I always have the best times together, from tricking the Disney staff with Landon and Emma, or trying to do basket tosses in the pool with Maddy, Emma and Bailey. They are always people I can count on, and I am so blessed to have them everywhere I go.  Joselin, Emma, Abbie, Jessica, Ashley, and Sara at Duke.  Emma, Maddy, Quinn and Bailey at school.  The entire Beastminster team at basketball.  Joy, Taylor, Claire, Elliot, and Ellerslie at the barn.  Landon, Lucas, Kennedy, and Ellie at church.  These are only a few of the girls that I can always count on to be there for me if I get a bad grade, or I need some advice on how to handle a situation.  They are here for me when I need someone to pep talk me through a bad week (thanks Emma!) or just there to entertain me with funny stories about an awkward instance.  My girl friends mean the world to me, and I would never trade them for anything!
