Wedding Speech : Grandmother And I Sat On Her Velvet Soft Carpet

"Arjun I and Matthews want you to tie knot with Jade as soon as possible, as she has finished her studies and she will be even entering into business world so we both want you to guide her and be with her in all her steps" said Mr. Advith Rana my dad taking a seat in my cabin.

The day was October 8th, 2014. I hardly played. One school day, my 5th teacher, Ms. Smit said, “flyers for the basketball team on the table” ordinarily I took one. Kids from 4th, 5th, and 6th grade came to try out for the team. After tryouts, a paper next to the nurse's office was hung up. The paper sheet named those who had made the team. Surprisingly, I made the team, most likely from my height. I felt like I shouldn’t have made the team. At the time, I barely started to play basketball. I went to the practices at school and tried to make myself a little bit better, since a tournament was about to begin in a few weeks.

Every person has on object in their life that is very precious to the, for me, it is my pearl necklace. They are small and round and a lustrous cream color with a pink sheen. They have a tiny gold clasp that holds the necklace together. My pearls tell a story than no other personal artifact can: my heritage. The pearls symbolized tradition and womanhood in my family’s life, and they were to be worn with dignity and pride. Every holiday, the girls of the family accessorized their outfits with the pearls given by our grandmother. They were something we all had in common: the thread that linked our generations together. I recall looking down at my Nana’s casket and I could almost hear her voice whispering

Life was amazing and wonderful for a time being. My family was whole and put together. We had just moved into a house on Circle Road in Worland, Wyoming. I remember the house quite well before my parents had done any work to it. There were bird cages, pecked out doors, other animal cages, stains of all sorts, and holes in cracks in the walls and ceilings. It was quite the piece of work to say the least! Renovations were tedious and awful, but all the hard work would pay off in the end. Building the house up to my family’s expectations took awhile, but it was worth every second of it. Time flew by during my childhood in that house. I remember one day taking a trip over to the fish hatchery in the canyon. Other days we would spend at my grandpa’s house visiting him. We would attend as a family social events and parties. Life was pretty amazing. To say the least things were going quite well in the Boltz household. Furthermore, there were three things that changed me and my life when my dad died.

It was 9 a.m. and my mom barged into my room. She turned on my light and told me to get ready. The light hit my face forcing me to wake up. I could hear my mom and dad packing and loading our luggage into our truck. Today’s the day, I thought, Today was my last softball tournament for at least 4 months. I got that same feeling that I get when you go down the first arch on a roller coaster in my stomach. This happens every time I have a tournament or game. My stomach flips and I get butterflies in my stomach. I get nervous to make a mistake, make everyone mad, and frustrate everyone, especially my family. My anxiety consumes me and I get so nervous when the ball comes to me that my heart starts racing. I don’t want to be the one to let everyone down. But I’ve been getting better at not being scared. I’ve been trying to believe in myself more and have been overcoming my fear. I put my thoughts aside and got up, brushed my teeth, put my contacts on, washed my face, and got my uniform on. I brushed my my hair, put it in a ponytail and got some gel to slick back my hair. The gel felt like slime as I slicked it back on my hair, and I put my bow on. I went to my room to get my sweatband and was debating on what color I should wear to match my uniform. I decided to bring both of my headbands and decide which one I should wear today on the ride over to the ballpark. I got my bag that I had packed yesterday, double checked that I had everything I

The only way that Penny could get back together with Everett is if he can find her original ring. If the group can’t find it, however, she will marry her new suitor, Vernon T. Waldrip. Everett knows where the ring should be, and this is where he told Pete and Delmar where the hidden treasure ought to be. The men are about to be hung, when a freak flood comes rolling through the valley where they are standing. Ulysses finds the ring on a floating table, and goes back to show Penny. She states that it isn’t the right ring, but she doesn’t know where the original one is either. And, with that, the movie ends with Ulysses and Penny arguing.

“Darlin’ I don’t go home with just anyone, a woman like me has standards ... Very high standards” Penny did have high standards, impossible to reach so no one would ever get close to her. She refused to live the life her momma had been dealt. Working two jobs just to keep a roof over Penny’s head, sometimes

I think I found something!” Mia said. Mia picked up thousands of dollars! By this time the guard came back escorting them to the door. Everyone was stunned. Lucky Mia shoved the money in her purse, because it will prove to be useful in the near future.

“Okay,I guess I will go to sleep,after all it is getting late,” I state.After this I decided maybe I should go to sleep,after all I am pretty tired!! So I then went to sleep and the night went on like normal.School was also the same,nothing special happened at school either until I got off the bus.Which that Monday I heard that one of favorite travel basketball teams,Lady Jags,which they were located and they practiced in Louisiana,would be holding tryouts in 5 weeks!! I was ready to tryout,but I wasn’t 100% I was going to make the team.

“Macey would you like some tea?” I yell to my daughter in law. “Yes i would really like that please and thank you.” I pour water into the kettle and i slowly wait for the water to boil. As i wait i take a glimpse at my beautiful grandchildren as i see them play, John then tells me with his sweet angel voice, “grandma i wish we

My sister and I decide to visit an antique store that a family friend mentioned to us last week. I like shopping at antique stores, because unlike department stores you never know what you’ll come across. Every so often when I visit antique stores, I don’t go in for anything in particular but rather rummage through dusty shelves of broken, old things when I miraculously stumble upon a hidden treasure.

I gave the brightly colored—and if I dare say, nicely woven—bin to Aunt Emma, who used it for her knitting needles and yarn. Then I wrote back something about, sorry, no can-do. The stone was sold, and the monies received were used to pay off Miss MacBride’s mortgage.

One rainy night in November, I arrived to the church gym for my first basketball practice of the season. As I walked in the doors creaked and you could smell the gym floor. As I already heard the basketballs hitting the ground, bouncing up and down. My friends Brittany and Destiny walked in right behind me through the door. That was when we realized we were the only girls surrounded by all guys. As practice came to a start we began to run, it felt like we were never going to stop. Up and down the court as we ran suicides, you could hear the squeaking of shoes as we went from the next line back and then on to the next. Before we started scrimmaging, the two captains were boys. Brittany, Destiny, and I stood in amazement as we were the last three standing there. You could see by their expressions they didn’t want any of us on either team.
