August Letter

Dear Family & Friends, 

Hello! I have had a great month. I started middle school this month. My school is really cool. I have to wear a mask, but otherwise it is okay. I have lots of fun classes and friends. I can't wait for the end of school though!

WE FINISHED OUR BACKYARD! It looks so cool with the water feature and rock wall. We are still doing minor things to finish up, but the main part is in. It looks so much better then when we first moved in. It took us only one year since we moved in to put in our downstairs and our backyard.

This month me and my soccer team played two tournaments. We the first one in a landslide, easily destroying team after team. I got a pretty cool medal and I had a lot of fun playing. The next tournament was much harder. We had some pretty close shaves. Some of them we only won by one. But, we made it to the finals. I have never had a closer shave. We started out early and got up ahead by one. Then, near the end, they scored and tied it up. We went into overtime and scored pretty quickly. but then, they scored in the final minutes and tied it up again. So then we went to P.K.s. We scored our first three and so did they. Then both of our teams missed. Then our player scored and the other player missed. It was then my turn. If I scored this penalty kick, our team would win. That's a lot of pressure. I set it up. The goalkeeper got in position. Then I shot. I went for the bottom right corner but the goalie dove that way too. But the shot was too fast. It skimmed off his fingers and went right in to the bottom corner. We had won the tournament. We celebrated pretty wildly. After, My family celebrated at Red Robins.

Well bye.
