The Film Festival

If you remember, my brother Luke and his friend Brittany entered a video in the Full Moon Film Festival. Well, on Saturday at 4:00 PM, Grace, Luke, and I went to the festival to see who won. We went first to pick up some of our friends who needed a ride to it. The boys we picked up played Burr and Hamilton in the video.

When we got there we met Brittany. We all sat down and after a little wait it began. First there was a speech and then they showed some of the videos. When "Hamilton vs Burr" came on it was very annoying because it just had to be our video that paused for no reason, and they had to go up to the stage and turn it back on. But everyone laughed at the jokes and the humorous  ending scene.

Here is Hamilton Vs Burr.

Once all the videos were done there was another speech and then the prizes for things like best Actor and best Comedy. Luke and Brittany were awarded best mockumentery. After all those awards were given out Luke and Brittany were awarded third place over all!
I am so glad they got prizes. After the festival ended we went out to Sonic to celebrate.

Eye Doctor

About a year ago I had perfect sight. Suddenly I started noticing I couldn't see things until they were right in my face. Mom was shocked when I completely failed the eye test. It was almost funny; I could not see a single letter.

I have now worn glasses for a year.

This Thursday, Grace woke me up saying, "Hey Sarah, Mom says you need to get up 'cause you're going to leave soon." My first thought was, "Umm... where am I going?"

I got out of bed and went into the kitchen looking for both breakfast and for Grace. I was told that I was going to the eye doctor at 9:00 a.m. to get contacts!

After a few test the eye doctor put contacts in my eyes. I was told to take them out and put them back in. I did fine taking them out, but I took about fifteen minutes putting them back in. The doctor was very patient though, and I finally got them back in.

I really like contacts, they are so much easier than glasses. Another great thing about getting contacts is I now have a great excuse for inviting friends over to see them!
