I kept meaning to update this thing, but I keep forgetting. xD

We had the Regional Hippology Contest saturday, and I place 1st for my county in Seniors (ages 14-18) and 1st overall in Western MA for Seniors.

Yesterday we went Christmas caroling at a local nursing home for community service for 4-H.

Then after that we went to Deana's house for our 4-H Christmas party. We got our jackets, so we're like, officially a real club now. xD Not really, but every other club in our county has like jackets & stuff, so it feels cool to finally have them after like 3 years.

And I got to see Justin! I haven't seen him in a while, so it was really good to see him. =]
