Volley for the Cure

Tonight we had Volley for the Cure to raise money to help fight Breast Cancer. We had alot of people show up and it seemed like every person there was wearing a volley for the cure t-shirt or a pink shirt! Every year the volleyball program goes out to businesses and asks them to donate something to our auction that we set up during our match. Last year we raised about 20,000 dollars. Everything that you buy at the game goes towards the cause. The t-shirts, the food at the concession stand, the ticket to get into the game, any of the items on the table for the silent auction all goes toward the fight against brest cancer. Last night was an amazing fundraiser and we also played well. We have held this event for the past four years. Every year it grows more and more and we get the awareness out about the cancer. A girl on the freshman team lost her mom to breast cancer about a year ago. The girl was given a blanket that all of us signed and cards. She made a poster and wrote a note to her mom talking about how much she missed and loved her and how she knows that she is in a better place. It was hard to see her go up there crying. Our goal this year was to raise 25,000 dollars. :)

best weekend

Ahhhhhh this weekend was amazing. Friday night I saw The Town which is one of the best movies I have ever seen... it was soooo good! Ben Affleck is soooo hot and was amazing in it. Then, on Saturday I bought my halloween costume. I'm going to be a sailor :) I loveeee it! After I bought that, I went to Country Jam Saturday night. I was extremelyyy disappointed in the artists but I still had fun with my friends. We ended up leaving early though. We met up with some friends that didn't go and got food! Then later that night, my friends Taylor and Sara bought car paint and got our friends Max and Kyle! It was sooo much fun, ecspecially since Max's dog was barking which made Max see us. He came running outside and almost caught up to my car as I was driving away! It was alot of fun! So after running errans with my mom this morning, I come home and find a trail of hershey kisses starting at my front door, leading all the way to my bedroom door. At my bedroom door there were more hershey kisses that spelled out "start poppin". So, I opened my bedroom door and saw about 30 balloons all over my room. The very last balloon I popped had a note in it. The note said, "Now that I have "kissed" the ground you've walked on and you have me walking on air, Will you go to homecoming with me?" :) :) Oh my gosh, it was the cuteset thing ever!!!!!!! I of course said yesssss!

So... my weekend was definately the best!

Stupid Blogs.

So basically these blogs are a waste of all of our time. We all get on the computer at 11 30 and sit here for like 20 minutes and type random words that no one cares about. I could be sleeping right now, but instead I am typing a journal about absolutely nothing. We have had to write two so far and both of mine I have turned in late. So why are we even doing this if no one does them and turns them in on time except for a couple people?? And I really do notttt have a studder Mr. Potterrrrrrr! So this is all I have to say!

Can not wait to do one in 5 days.

all aboutttttt me :)

Hi, I am Abby Easton! :) I am a seventeen year-old senior. My favorite color is green. I was born in Washington, D.C. I have two younger sisters. They are fifteen and ten. They are relaly annoying at times but I can deal with them. I have spiders and snakes. I will not go into the ocean unless it is clear water, because I can not see anything and I do not want to die by stepping on something or having something eat me. I am deathly afraid of anything that looks like a bug or insect. I will not go near anything that is around an insect. Country music is by far my favorite. I love techno and pop/r&b as well. And i can put up with some rap. I do love kid cudi and eminem at times. I listen to alternative at times, because my best friends love it. The only music I will never ever listen to is hard rock/screamo. I would literally rather hurt myself, severly. I love to read, but hate doing it for school. Volleyball is my life and I have been around it since I was five. I have been playing it on a team since fourth grade. I made the girls varsity volleyball team as a freshman and have started ever since. Not a day goes by where I do not want to play it. I want to go to either Ohio University and walk on to play volleyball or go to East Carolina University. I want to either major in education or sports medicine; I have not decided yet though.

So thats basically a short insert about meeeeee :) hope you enjoyed!
