Opps...

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while... I've been studying for my school finals. (Not Fun!!!) Lately we've been visiting and we are currently visiting my grandparents in El Paso, Arkansas. So I don't have much time to blog. We're going to have hamburgers and hotdogs along with some BBQ sandwiches with my great grandparents and hopefully my great uncle (he's feeling a little under the weather.. ). It should be a great afternoon and I hope that we have a great time. Gotta go, lunch is awaiting!!!
Til my next post,

Baseball Game

My brother, Blake, had a baseball game today. We got out of the house at 11:15am and got there around 11:30am. The actual game started at 12 o'clock and Blake started out in left field. The opposing team scored 2 runs in the first half but we scored 4 runs. By the end of the game, we won 12-11. It was probably around 85 degrees Fahrenheit and everyone was sweating a lot. It was a great turn out!

Book Suggestions

Okay, so I told you I was going to give you some good book suggestions of mine because there's no such thing as having too many books lined up. So I'll start with telling you that the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series is awesome. Most people say, "Oh, I've seen one of the movies so I don't have the need to read the books.". They skip 4-5 of the main scenes and tell everything so much different than the book. There are 5 books in the series and the newest book of Rick Riordan's new series similar to his other series, The Lost Hero. I won't give any of that away because if I say one thing, I'll end up blogging for the rest of my life. Another good book is I Am Number Four. This is nothing like the movie, I know they get some of the characters features wrong and skip many scenes that are important. I would suggest that you wait until at least 5th or 6th grade just because of language and fighting scenes. Although I am in 7th grade, I still enjoyed the book. I am currently reading The Goose Girl. It is about a girl who is next in line for the throne but her mother gives it to her younger brother instead and is now destined to marry a prince from the foreign county, Bayern and the action goes from there. In some of these books, suggestions are made at the end so make sure to look. I hope I helped you find your next book.

Today

Today I have an NJHS ceremony. I am happy and sad. I have to wear a dress which makes me sad but I'm happy because I have accepted into this organization with a 93 GPA (Grade Point Average) . What we do is we all walk in from the cafetorium and take our seats. I'm not sure whether we'll sit on the floor in our nice clothes or if they will provide seating for us and the audience. The audience will be sitting in the bleachers of the main school gym. The worst part is that we will have to wait an hour for everyone to be introduced and be given a fact about them. Then we find out who will be the President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Representative. That is what I am excited about. They made us vote and wait 2 DAYS!!! (48 hours!) But any way, I have to get ready and on my next post I will give you some book suggestions because there is no such thing as too much books to have lined up! Thanks!

P.S.- NJHS stands for National Junior Honor Society. Just so you know... It's a good piece of useful information.

All About Me!!!

Hi!! I'm Ally, the writer of Ally's Design, and I am here to tell you a little bit about myself. I was a military kid up until I was 12 years old. I've been out of the country before (Germany). I started out in Wichita Falls, Texas where I was born. Then we moved to San Antonio, Texas. After about 2 years my brother was born when I was 3 years old. After he was about 6 months we were stationed to Spangdahlem, Germany. We lived there for 3 1/2 years. Then we moved to Warner Robins, Georgia for 5 years. Now we live in Allen, Texas. My dad is out of the military and it considered a "retired air force" man. He served 21 years of service.
Here are a few of my favorite things:
