Happy Birthday Alexis!

Shooting Team

I have officially been named to the Alpha Omega Xi shooting team at school!!! Our first competition is October 19-21 in Columbia, South Carolina! I'm so excited!!

Since I cannot afford to buy a weapon of my own at this time, I am paired up with someone who does have a weapon. Luckily he has the very same weapon we practice with at school ... a Glock 17. So we'll be practicing at the range in Forest Park every couple of weeks in order to be familiar with the very weapon we will use in competition.

Yesterday at shooting practice, I actually beat this guy ... by only 1 point BUT it was still beating him for once!! I was happy to say the least and I made everyone take notice and write it down in the history books ;)

Anyway, the Criminal Justice team has several components to it and they are academics, shooting, physical agility and crime scene analysis (complete with sketching, narrating and figuring out what happened).

I wish everyone could be there but I know that it is a wee far for most folks, not to mention it costs money to stay there ... but if you'd like to go, let me know, as there are tickets that have to be purchased.

Pinning Ceremony

For those of you interested ... I will be being pinned into Alpha Omega Xi on July 22 (it could change to July 29). More information to come as I know it.

Spring Quarter

Well, I finally finished up another term at school. This past time I had four classes to carry - but I will say they were easy. I had Environmental Science, Biology, English Composition and Computer Applications. Once again, I have maintained an A in each class which of course keeps me on the Dean's List for the time being.

I added an activity to my already heavy load ... I'm shooting again ... this time for the school. I am a part of Alpha Omega Xi which is a Criminal Justice fraternity (co-ed obviously). They asked me to be on the shooting team which is one of five teams that makes up the Criminal Justice team. I may be expanding to some of the other teams ... especially Physical Combat. It'll be awhile before I, myself, am in competition but I'll be sure to let you know when I am!

Let's see, Madison is all signed up for cheerleading again. Bailey will be starting T-Ball this fall as well. Last, but not least, Morgan Haley will more than likely be starting gymnastics again. Christian will still be in band playing trumpet while Toree will also still be in band playing clarinet.

Ok, I'm tired now ... MAYBE I'll get back and post more later.
