On our way...

Alright! The plane is in the air and I am off!!!!!! We have been in the air for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. I am so excited😛 The best part so far was when we were above the clouds. Today there was mostly a clear sky, but we were in a spot with big, puffy, white clouds. And the prettiest part was that under the clouds you could see the gorgeous mountains. So beautiful. The ride should take 6 hours, so we should be arriving in roughly 5. Sigh😕. The scariest part happens every 20 minutes. The turbulence picks up and the plane starts shaking. I always feel like we are going to fall to our deaths! I was really worried yesterday that I would be really homesick, but the only time that happened was when I had to say goodbye to mom and dad. I cried a little. Anna is playing M.A.S.H, and Olivia is reading " All the Answers". They have served us the all famous peanuts, pretzels and animal crackers shaped like planes! Anna and Olivia got a drink but she forgot me and I felt needy asking her, so I didn't get one. But that's okay, I'm not really thirsty anyway. I'll write more tomorrow! See ya!☺️

 

 

Summer Updates and other stuff

Hello hello my minions! So, a couple of days ago was Father's Day. We were going to have Sunday dinner at my aunt Holli and uncle John's house, but then they called and said that the air conditioning at their house had shut off and wouldn't turn back on. Usually you would feel very sorry for them, but I felt like I had to call a hospital and burn their house down because this is Arizona the home of 🌞☀️🔥.  Plus, that day the temperature was 116! Instead mom offered them shelter here and sent out a text message that said the party had been switched to our house. Now that I think about it, that didn't really have anything to do with the main story, but what the heck. Anyway, shortly after we had finished dinner, my grandpa called me, Anna, and Olivia to the table and he said that we were going to talk about the trip to New Jersey. The talk made it feel like the trip was tomorrow. Sadly it was not, but the awesome thing was its only in two weeks!! Well, yesterday we also got exciting news. My mom was feeding Casey custurd pie, and she squealed suddenly. Naturally we asked her why the heck she was doing that. She squeezed her eyes shut and said, "I've been keeping a secret for two weeks." Naturally we asked what the secret was. She told us after about five minutes. Alright, the secret is... we are going to see Matt Meese live!!!!!!! I am so excited!!! I love Matt, he is one of my favorite Studio C members. I am having the best summer ever!! Eeeeeerrrrreeeeekkkkkaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bad news and Good news.. Bad news first

So... about that play, it never happened. The audition was mostly doing certain sword-fighting moves, and I knew that I would get a part. But, barely any people auditioned before and after me. There weren't enough actors. I was a little disappointed because it was February, and the next play audition was in May, but I could wait. Now, look up at the date that this was written. Yeah. It's almost the end of May. We didn't go to the audition. I had completely forgotten about it, when I saw it in one of those packets with fun things you can do over the summer. One page said "Do a Fun play!" and then it had a list of play auditions that were going to happen. I saw the play that I was going to do (CinderOz) listed as happened three days ago. I went to mom and told her and she told me that she didn't take me or Anna to it because the dates of when the shows were happened when we were doing the good news. Oh, did I mention that the good news was that I'm-going-to-New-Jersey-no-big-deal-at-all? Really? I didn't? Oh. Well now you know. No big deal or any- TOTALLY JOKING I'M SO EXCITED I CAN'T BREATHE! I'm boarding the plane on July 5th and probably arriving at maybe 6 at night. We will be staying until the 11th when we go home on the plane. This is my first plane ride ever! (Except for that one time where I rode one when I was like one year old, and that doesn't count.) I already read all of Mom's text messages from Michelle and Ally (the people we are staying with) so that I can find out everything that they are planning to do with us!! I have found so many cool things like dolphin watching, swimming in the ocean, going to the boardwalk, having a summer BBQ party, and going to The Fudge Factory, which make the best fudge you will ever taste in your life. The only thing that I'm concerned of is the fact that we will be staying at their beach house, and swimming in the ocean, and going dolphin watching. Maybe you didn't know this, but I am scared out of my mind of whales. They eat you! I swear, they live in the shower, the toilet, and every swimming pool, but they only come out when you dare close your eyes. I am going to do all of these things anyway, because I don't want to hurt Michelle's feelings. Michelle and Ally come to Arizona during Christmas and Thanksgiving, and I love them. They are awesome, and they always bring everyone some elaborate candy. I think that Ally is around 16, but I can't remember currently. Anyway, school just ended three days ago, so tomorrow is the first week of summer break (today is Sunday, and I count it officially summer on the next Monday.) Only 6 more weeks!!

This Post Could be Acting, or it Could Not be

Okay, so someone asked me a few days ago what could I not live without. Well, I decided, and I am going to tell you. Unlike most people I know, I could totally live without a phone, a tablet, but not the computer. I have my blog on the computer! I also really love singing. I do it probably about 5 hours a day out of 24 singing. And another 5 talking. I also couldn't live without my family. (cheesy alert) They mean everything to me. But this is something that I could not possibly live without. And it is acting. Acting, being different characters, and having a great time with the other people in the group is the best thing ever! It makes me happy. I don't know what I would do without it. Now, I know what you are thinking. "Marie, you've only been in three actual plays before!" I don't think so. I consider playing with dolls acting. And I did super cheesy school musicals, which now that I think about it, is not acting because it was way to exaggerated. (Well these people are going to have some smoky surprises for their holidays! - not funny. no one actually says that). I am way excited for Robin Hood coming up. I want Maid Marian so badly because she is the -steel-from-the-rich-to-give-to-the-poor- kind of gal. This play will be epic!!!!!!!

In a Galaxy Far, Far, Away....

 (This post was made in 2015)...there was a girl named Marie who couldn't take a selfie. She was a disgrace to her modern world. But it turned out that she was not at all bad. She loved to sing, read, and make random crafts that created only a few explosions. As she grew older, the more awesome she became. This is her story.
