Fall Break

Fall Break is a time you can spend with your family or friends. This fall break my family went to Gatlinburg, Tennesse and my Danish exchange student, Michelle Dahl Pedersen, came along with us. We got to know Michelle better throughout the trip. We ate at many different restaurants. We also saw the new Titanic exhibit. At night we would walk along the streets and look at the different shops with our carmel apples in hand. We loved to ride go karts and race each other. It was a very eventful fall break and one that I will always remember.

It was so wonderful to have a few days off from school. October is the month when everything gets busy, so it was nice to have a few days to catch my breath. On my days off, I was crazy busy. My sister, an AHS alum, was home for the weekend from college. It was so fun to catch up and visit with her. Next, my youth group went on retreat this weekend. We spent time bonding over bible study/worship, ultimate frisbee, adventure activities like high ropes, star-gazing, and much more. It was awesome to spend time out in nature with a few AHS friends, as well as others. To conclude the weekend, my mom and I attended the Rand Paul & Jack Conway Senatorial debate. It was so cool to be at a live televised event, experiencing history in the making. Even though I can't vote, I learned so much about today's issues. It was a great evening! Fall break was a BLAST, but it's great to be back at school.
