Who made it to Nationals :)?

We'll have to work that out later xD

A kid from our local bee won 3d place in the primaries last year =)

We'll have to work that out later xD

Sounds like a good idea. Right now I'm worried about my memory verses and getting my Ephesians study started! :D

WOW!! That's WONDERFUL!

Same here. We have a LOT of work ahead of us.

And listen to this – David, my brother who is in juniors, has to memorize as many verses as I did last year!!!!!!! W.O.W.

The hallway in between hotel check-in and where finals was? After BB registration? The place to meet)

Wow!!!?? Really!? That's crazy!!!

I know – isn't it!!!?

I know! How are we ever going to do it??

I don't know……………………………..

I know! How are we ever going to do it??

Oh come on…We can do it!

I don't know...................................

That's what you said before!

Uhhh….by memorizing all the time. When we're eating meals, brushing our teeth, driving in the car, cooking meals, exercising, in ALL our free time, I guess

:D

It's still not as bad as 09…..

I don't know……………………. JK :)

Good spirit, Carissa. :)

Oh fine, forgot about it.

Yeah, that's true. I'm thankful for that! :D

Alright guys, I have to go for tonight. I'm REALLY excited about seeing you all at Nationals again, for those of you that made it! Talk to you later! Off to memorize my first few verses…. :D

Was that sarcastic? (did I spell that right)?

Hey Matthew – check out my last post right after you left yesterday on social chatting – pllllleasseee!

I mean forget about it

@Bethany - I don't have time to write a full reply, but it has something to do with the Film Festival - does that ring any bells? :)

Okay

Oh, yeah, I remember now. Okay, I get it. :)

Bye!!! See you in NOVEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

feels left out JK lol :) I can't wait to hear about how you all do. :'( I am sad that I won't be there to see though. :'(

Okay, I'm going now.

GREAT JOB TO EVERYONE! See you in November, Lord willing!

Danielle – is your little brother going?

Noooooo!!!! :(

I've got to go now. Bye!

CONGRATS to y'all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bye Carissa!!! Congratulations!!! hugs

Hi everyone!

KATRINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!! =D =D

Emily!!!!!!! Thank you! And congratulations to you too! I was SO excited when I saw that you made it!!!

I was so excited when I saw YOU made it!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =D when are you going to put up your picture and everything? How many verses do you have to memorize? I have 750…. :P

Have you seen the verses? I was kinda surprised when I saw that the book was Ephesians, but I'm glad about it, because I have wanted to study Ephesians for a long time. I am thrilled with the verses!

Yes! I have SO many from Genesis! :P I was so surprised when I saw it was Ephesians too! I figured they'd do it eventually, but not for Nationals :)

Um, I don't know when I'm going to get my picture and stuff up… probably when I have time to sit and pick a favorite verse to put up. :P I have 600 verses to memorize! I was kinda shocked at first, because 600 is a lot, but I LOVE the verses they picked!!!!

Were you surprised at all the long ones?!? There are lots of long ones compared to other years. I'm so happy they're doing John 17 and 1 Corinthians 13!!!!!!! It seems like all the Junior verses are either really short or really long… :P

I have yet to read through the verses, I'll probably do that tonight. SO EXCITED! :) Okay cool! So I don't have too many more than Juniors!! yay! =D I saved what I said last year on a Word document… :P I will probably change it a lot though. lol

Yeah, I was a little surprised with how many there are! Mr. Anderson was just sitting there counting all the ones that were 20 verse or more… :P

Just saying, your avatar is really awesome =D

I made it! I'm soooooo excited right now!!!!!!! :D
I placed 85th. did worse than I thought

I think last year I said my favorite verse was 2 Cor. 12:9… I have no idea what I'm going to say this year! :D Did you see that they said in the National Qualifier email that they're going to change how they do the Finals?!?

Wow, really? No, I haven't read he qualifier email thing yet :P

@Bella CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations Bella! :) What age group are you in?
