HOLT

This weekend we have a swim meet in Holt, MI and we have to wake up @ 5:15 to get there on time! I'm only swimming 2 things [one on each day] The first is the 200 free and the second is the 200 IM [that is a lot of swimming!]
I have not swam these events for so long so I'm seated really bad but oh well!

Florida

If we did have to move to Florida then I don't think it would be that bad but only if we can take the animals with us and if we go back to Holland for Christmas and if our friends come and visit!

assinment

This week we have a school project and I chose the subject SOUND!
Sound is so cool because it absorbs into ruff materials and bounces back with smooth materials!
I got interested with sound @ Wednesday school and we did the topic sound. We learned all about it and it's really cool!

A meet

This weekend we have the TCAC A meet. At this meet I really need to beet this one girls time in the 50 fly! Before the last meet I was the fastest butterflyer for our age group in the 50 fly, now a "girl" has beeten my time and I need to get her back [or at least beet her time]. A couple of days ago I got my new fastskin in the mail [my old one was coming apart] so I hope it's a lucky one!

Delo and Oli

Delo is my baby princess who always gives herself a bath. Oli is my floppy-Joe who is always in need of a bath!

JAWS pool

In the summer we swim long coarse meters! That means that that there's no flip turn in a 50.
Here is a picture of the JAWS pool in long coarse!
I like it so much better then short coarse!

I Love My Friends!

Did I mention that we [my sisters and I] are home schooled? Well we are and it is really cool! I mean who can go to school in there Pj's? We also have a physics class @ Hope collage that we take every other Wednesday. At the end of the semester we usually have a presentation that we share but now our teacher asked if this year we want to do it a little differently. Instead of a presentation he asked if we wanted to go to Michigan Adventures to go on the roller coasters and estimate how fast there going and how tall they are and stuff like that! I think that's way better then a presentation! But there are two problems, 1, it costs about $15.00 per person. 2, if not everybody wants to go then we have to do a presentation and that would be awful to miss a chance like that!
But that's just my opinion.
We are also on a USA competitive swim team! We practice every night and have swim meets almost every weekend! My favorite events are the 50 fly and the 100 fly! My goal before I turn thirteen is to get a 27 because once your a teenager you cant swim 50's.

My name is Abi Johns,
Threw out my hole life me and my family have moved from house to house but we have always stayed within Holland MI [West Olive]. Daddy has been looking for a job for almost two years and has not found anything around here. Around a week ago He went in search of a job in Florida. If Daddy finds a job in Florida then we would have to move there leaving all our friends, all our family and most of all our swim team and Diana.
When we moved from house to house it was always a adventure! Then we were not leaving our friends and family so I was happy to move. Now it's a different story, our friends can't come over, our family will not be there for our birthdays and for Christmas and there will be no snow there either. We won't have swim practice when Diana kicks our butts until were sore and we won't have swim meets almost every weekend either.
I will really miss my friends a LOT!
