Speech Camp is Over :(

Well, yesterday was the mini speech tournament and end of speech camp and today Mrs. Kovach, Curtis, Reid, Jams, and Jack came to pick up Haley. Speech camp was soo fun!
Here are a few highlights:
~ Haley had her first speech tournament!! (It was a practice one, but great experience all the same :)
~ Getting to spend some time with friends that I haven't seen all summer.
~ Staying up late Wednesday night with Haley, practicing our speeches and trying to cut them down to the given time limit.
~ Seeing how many novices there were. It was so exciting to see how many new people the Lord brought.
~ God being glorified through the speeches. It was fun to see everyone praying together and encouraging one another before they gave their speeches on Thursday.
~ Watching Haley learn more about speech. Now she wants to join NCFCA (National Christian Forensics and Communications Associations) this year!
~ A lot of other things I'm sure too, but those were a few that were exciting.

I am so excited today and I keep jumping around. Talk about hyper!!!!!!!!
If you would like to hear about the first day of speech camp from Haley's perspective, here's the link to her blog: http://bigsisteroffour.blogspot.com/2009/08/speech-camp.html

I've been tired a lot lately and it's not late either!!!!! Okay I was just listening to the Laura Ingram show and she was belittling the practice of using lots of exclamation points (like this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1) and smiley faces (like this :)) and things like that. She'd FAINT if I were a male and I did it!!!! Whatever!!
