What to Say? We've Been MIA

P.S. (Pre Script) This post is way too long for the average human to read in one sitting. Read in parts or your brain will overload.

Hey, that rhymes!!
Well, mom has been bothering me to update on here for a while now, so I guess I have to eventually. I think I've been dreading blogging because so MUCH has been happening here that there isn't enough time or blog space anymore to get all the details. Plus, my mom's laptop has a virus, so either Mom or Dad who usually use the laptop have been on my computer, or I'm too lazy to come upstairs and use my computer since usually I can go on my mom's laptop, eat, and watch TV at the same time. (Ya, that's really what I do when I'm bored.)

Okey dokey, let's start in...May? Doesn't seem too long ago, but if you were here for everything, you would not believe it's only been two months.
MAY 30~Katelynn turned 9!! She was talking about getting to make her own pizza at Uno Chicago Grill for weeks before, so her and a friend got to go and have lunch there. Then, we went to Neshaminy Mall, and then Katelynn and her friend played together for a while at home. It wasn't really a party, but Katelynn enjoyed it and I'm glad she had a good day.
Just FYI, I currently have NO pictures, so this is a completely boring and all words post, but I either didn't take pictures or (maybe??) lost them in the virus, sorry.
JUNE 7~ I graduated from seminary! Not really, but I did give a talk at the graduation, and my name's gonna be on the "Pennypack Plaque" (sounds cool when you say it, go ahead and try) for this year!
Katelynn died her hair!! It's still blonde, and it's not really all that different of a shade, but Aunt Penny wanted to do an experiment with hair dye and Katelynn was all for it. I think everyone noticed at dance, school, and church, Katelynn loved all the attention. My mom totally doesn't care, she says, "It's hair, it will grow back."Even the roots will be that color by the end of summer, since her hair lightens up from playing in the sun all the time anyway.
Speaking of being out in the sun...
JUNE 10~ (totally a guess since I was MIA and only got to see the finished pool)My Aunt Penny got a pool!!!! It's amazing!! 4 feet deep on one side and 5 feet deep on the other. I guess it's about 20 feet long? Am I exaggerating for the extreme fun we're going to have in it this summer?!!
JUNE 12/13~ Our Motion n' Dance (the studio I take class at) recital. We spent pretty much that whole week getting all the costumes, makeup, and hair stuff ready, Thursday was the dress rehearsal, and we had 3 shows between Friday and Saturday. Recital is always the most stressful thing of the dance year, but I enjoyed it, and so did Katelynn. We were supposed to get our dance pics on Thursday, but the line was too long, so now we have to wait for the proofs to be shipped, or they would be in this post. I just can't wait to see how the DVD comes out, I think everyone did really well!!
(By the way, if you didn't get a Simply Darlynn Dance Recital DVD and you want one, email me.)
JUNE 14~Ward Conference, we have a new bishop! I know he will do a good job and the Hiltons will definitely be missed, along with the Molens. :-( I'm not even ready to think about the Lawrences and Hamiltons and other families leaving this summer. Please stay!! I love you guys!!
JUNE 16~ Happy Birthday Poppy! Love you!

And now we're planning for my SWEET SIXTEEN!! It's going to be amazing, by the way. My aunt, grandmom, and mom are just awesome. Every time I see my aunt and grandmom, I get more and more excited!! And every time Katelynn sees them, she gets to go in the pool, so she doesn't even care. :)

Ha, ha! Hearing about Katelyn not caring about your sweet 16 is so much like my sister and me. :) COngratulations on your upcoming birthday! How exciting! And thanks for posting all the details of your months. You HAVE been busy. You're gonna have to post about that sweet 16. It sounds like it will be a blast!

Phew! I don't know how you lived through all of that, let alone wrote about it. Congratulations on turning 16. What a fun age. Well, I was excited to turn 16. Hopefully you'll have more luck with dating than I did. ;) I can't wait to see your dance pictures. I hope the mail moves quickly so you can post them soon.
