well were finally here

If u dont know y i put that title its because my family drove all the way to Illinois to visit our farm and our cousins. It was a long drive but im kinda used to long drives because every year about the same time we drive to alabama where my grandparents live. So our first 8 hour day when fine i slept like a baby in the back seat and everything when soothly. The second day however didnt go so well first of all my mom thought it was going to be like 7 hours well that back fired and it ended up being a 9 hour drive uggg i was so bored the best three minutes of the car ride was when pocketful of sun shine came on the radio!!!!! I really do thank God for sleep because when i was up playing with my ipod or playing guitar at night those were the hours i got back when i was in the car. Well were here now in Illinois and my sister got her new car for free from my grandparents which is amazing its red with a sun roof and heated leather seats and all this other cool stuff which i cant wait to ride in it when we get home!!!!!

hey everyone

wow i have no idea when i posted last but i do know that im posting again, and that i might have time again to keep posting though out the summer hopfully. Lets see in the last week i have gone smimming three days in a row which means in a couple days i will probably get swimming ear, which stinks because then my ears will hurt 24-7. O yea by the way 24 the show had its last season :( I KNOW, why cant they make a 14 series even though its about the same thing EVERYTIME. If u dont know about 24 this is what u missed. Theres terrists that are planting a bomb attack in a popular city and when its just about to explode Jack helps whoever is trying to stop them and then it ends so exciting right NOT this is the second season that i watched it and in the middle of series i forgot about it!!!!! But anyway as u might know i just got burn really bad and im peeling like a freak but its really weird when people start peeling YOU!!!!! I wont meantion any names but it was a little scary. Im really excited about The Riley concert even though im not going to be there. Also im really excited about Grants being an uncle boo which i think is awesome and his frisbee party i hope i can come this time!!!!!!!

I signed up for ice skating which i couldn't wait for all week hoping it was before three o'clock so i wouldn't miss it because of work!! It was before three o'clock im so happy :):) double face whoooo. They had some awesome music playing some people find it enjoyable to push people into the boards!!! Hey i know what ur thinking it wasn't me but i have to say i did run into a little girl. Also some people like to swing their friends in circles until they fall now those are mean people jk not mentioning any names either. Overall we had some good laughs and falls!!!!!!

the mountains trip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well about a week ago when i went on this really big mountain trip with my boss Scott his wife Agie and jay the funny cook and his wife Rebeca and of course there's all the employes like ME, ashly, ryan, Jonny G, bree, T money or Talor we call him t money because he has no money its kinda a work joke kinda thing, and juanita (thats not cajua's mom if u wondering). So the day started off as me waking up, sooo the day started off on a positive note. I did all those very boring chorus and stuff and of course i played pingpong its always so EPIC, and of course theres always EPIC FAILURES!!!!! man i really like that word EPIC!!! so after we got done playing EPIC pingpong i just cant get over that word!!!! Anyway as i was saying after we got done playing pingpong and its just pingpong its not ping and pong, it gets confused alot i guess or its just me!!.. Anyway I went to meeting before cross culture which was excellant and i think i lost the $5 dollar gift card that they gave us for the book store ops o well. Cross culture was good but i didnt get to build the snow man which was disappointing :( but i heard junior high got in third great job guys and girls!!!!!!! After i arrived at booths corner O MY GOSH A BIG HAIR WAS IN THE KEYBOARD GROSS!!!! nasty o my gosh, where was i o right i arrived at booths corner(the place where i work)and waited there for awhile while until everyone else finished closing the shop and after closing was finished we all jumped in to the big white van!!! Everyone was talking and having a good time! We got to the meeting spot where everyone was going to take their separate ways to get all their stuff and then in an half an hour we would all meet in the same place to go to the mountains so me, Arron and Scott started to Arron's house. After we dropped her off we went to Scotts house and i borrowed a couple items and i watched apolo ohno in the omymics. Scott joined me and we started cheering and we started jumping up and down because they were falling and skaters were squeezing and pushing to get into metal contention it was incredible to watch!!! after speed skating was over me and Scott jumped in the car and picked up the funny cook Jay and his wife Rebecca and their adorable baby Hannah. Then we went to that one spot where everyone split up and everyone joined us again :). we made it to the cabin in like an hour and a half which was a very short ride. Me and jonny G got wood from the shed and Scott, jay and T money all had a competition on who could make the best fire T money had the best fire by far. After we got all the fire places lit and burning nicely we played ROUND ROBIN best game ever!!!!!!!!! This is kinda like pingpong so keep that in mind,the object of the game is to not get out and u have three lives ok its starts by someone servering the ball then another person hits it back but by the time the other person hits the ball back, the other player has dropped thier paddle and the person behind the one who servered it picked up the paddle and is ready to return it and then the person who just picked up the paddle hits the ball to the other side of the table and by the time the person hits the ball to the other side of the table the person who hit the ball dropped their paddle and the person after him picked it up and is ready to hit the ball back and if u missed the ball or didnt hit it back to the person waiting u got an out. WOW that was really hard to explain!!!! So everyone is running around the table my boss fell which was hilarious, but he was fine. After we played like 6 rounds of Round Robin we all hit the hay by 5 o'clock in the morning!!!!! I woke up rather late which was around 12. We had a Huge breakfast consisting of a lot of delicious stuff!!!! It was Sunday so we had a little church service consisting of worship and a little bit of sharing by everyone around the room and then we played ROUND ROBIN AGAIN O YEA!!!!! On Monday we told some really funny stories/jokes but they weren't that funny it was just 4 o'clock in the morning which made them funny. We were all sad we had to go home on Monday basically after 15 minutes of riding in the car on the way home everyone was asleep and then we all went home







ps. sry for not writing in a while are computers have been broken for forever!!!!!

our annual iceskating social

Our ice skating trip was crazy fun and hilarious. When i first got on the ice i told nick that i was a really good skater then when i went around the first turn guess what I FELL it was so embarrassing!!!!!!!!!!!! Jeremy Lee wasn't so great at skating but i have to give credit to those individuals that only skate once a year its really hard!!!!!!!! Well back to my story with Jeremy Lee, he was going to the bench on one side of the ice rink and someone cut him off and then he went out of control it was like a code red and all his limbs were flailing it was so funny i almost fell just standing still!!!!!!!! Me and Jeremy laughed for like 3 minutes straight!!!! Anyway i also heard peter close lined a little girl which i have to give him credit there was a lot of people there but seriously IT WAS A LITTLE GIRL but she probably got over it after awhile. Then I also heard Peter got nailed my Asa because he stole Asa's hat. Poor guy was always getting hit or hitting someone but he did extremely well on the ice after everything got calmed down. In a way i would have been like peter but i went twice last month so i had some practice. When i was skating some person that i was talking to decided to cut me off i was so close to the guy i thought if i moved one more atom i would run into him but then he moved to the side so i didn't bump into him!!!!!! man that was a close one!!!!!!! The best part of all i made my destiny to steal Asa's hat. So im getting close thinking this is the time to steal it but then he starts to skate backward then i have to go another lap and this goes on for 15 min. Then finally i had my chance i had so much speed coming toward him so that he didn't have enough time to grab me as i past him so i started around the corner with his hat but I couldn't turn fast enough and i ended up ramming this little kid i felt so bad but i really didn't have time to apologize because i didn't feel like getting pounded by Asa!! So i finally got to nick and i passed to him and nick passed it to peter who got pounded again i felt so bad!!!!! Then Asa came after me but he couldn't really get me because he didn't know how to stop which is a vital skill u need to have if ice skating! After my destiny was finished and i skating around. They then told us to get off the ice we only got to skate for an hour. It was suppose to be a two hour session which kinda sucked but I had a lot of fun in the ice rink!!!!!!!

my awesome sunday

This Sunday i woke up at my FRIENDS HOUSE!!!! IT was crazy i was like where am i just kidding i had a sleepover with my friend Eric. We had a blast. After I woke up and I walked to my house (coldest walk i have ever taken) I took a shower and barely made it on time to church. Church was really fun with a good church service. Then me, Leo, Olivia and my sister all hit the slopes at Clayton park (a nearby golfcourse) Me and shell (my sister) got there first and with our tube went down the hill. THAT HILL WAS SO BUMPY!!!!!!!! After we got finished our first run Leo arrived and me and him went down and since he is a little liter we went a little farther. We hit this wall of snow and our tube flipped and me and leo went flying into the air. Then boom we hit the snow i made the first groan then Leo popped up out of the snow laughing because he laughs at pain. We then both started laughing and didn't stop for two minutes. After we got over what we were laughing about. We started up the hill. After awhile i wanted me, Leo and shell to go all down the hill on the tube together. After two minutes i finally won the fight of convincing Leo to go down. After we made it to the top and finally got to the front of the line I was on the bottom, Leo was in the middle and shell was on the top. We made the first ten feet really good twenty feet was really bumpy then the twenty five feet marker was trouble with the bumps Leo was getting smushed and he was getting forced off the back of the tube then thirty foot marker was the explosion i look back and Leo was hanging on for dear life snow was flying everywhere and finally he let go then me and shell flew into another snow wall luckally i was tall enough that i didn't plow the snow wall with my face!!!!! We then called dad to pick us up. We then decided to be brave and me and Leo went down one more time. THAT WAS A BIG MISTAKE. First of all the kid in front of us wouldn't go we waited like 10 minutes until we finally went. Then we waited for this guy on a tube. we finally got to go we were so happy so we started down we were having fun flying on and off the tube because of the bumpyness that guy in the tube ahead of us i guess stopped and we flew into them. Our tube flipped i did a double summerstalt backward which was somewhat fun but it hurt really bad. When we walked back to the car i thought my toes and fingers were going to freeze off. So on the way home I had my feet on those car vents all the way home! We then had a super bowl party at leo's house and Leo's dad made Leo be the yes man like Jim carry so i told him to tape up his face like Jim carry so after five minutes he left and i was wondering where he was going. Five minutes went by and he came back and guess what he did he taped his face it looked so funny!!! His phone then started to ringing everyone was laughing as he picked it up and talked in this hilarious voice because he taped up his nose and it was his sister BREE!!!! she wanted to talk to dad!!!!!!! so he handed his dad the phone and started taking all the tape off which it looked as if he was waxing his face, it looked so painful. After the superbowl his mom walks in and was like wheres all the tape and everyone burst into laughter!!!!! Then THE SAINTS WON THE SUPERBOWL, IT WAS SO EXITING DOWN TO THE LAST MINUTE!!!!!!

what happened one thursday

Well my life is really boring and I havn't got one story so heres what happened one Thursday. So im sitting watch TV for the night and im chewing my gum popping bubbles when suddenly out of nowhere comes this awful thigh cramp (as u see i get these a lot of these for some reason and i don't know why) and reacting i accidentally choked then swallowed on only half of my gum now u must be thinking why only half well i was kinda bored so i chewed my gum in half. Now with at least some gum i watched tv for the rest of my night in peace.

snowboarding

Well my adventure started off as me getting up at 5:42 pm in the morning lovely i know. Me, Ben, Leo, Jesse, Brittney, Abby, cajua/cajua bothers and more all met up at wawa to see who was riding in which car. This was my first time snowboarding so i was a little nervous. So of course the crazy and totally OUT OF CONTROL car was me, Rachelle, Abby, Brittney, Ben and of course LEO!!! HAHA. So were driving up and Mr. Greb keeps saying 10 minutes until were there so im like YEA next 10 minutes goes by 10 more minutes until were there this goes on for about 45 MINUTES I WAS GOING INSANE!!!!! Anyway after we finally got there after getting lost for 2 minutes we finally arrived. :) :) we got out of our really quiet car I was impressed. so we get our lift ticket and our snowboard and our boots. man that was on exuasting sentence. So i signed up for an snowboard lesson and im walking along and i find some guys doing weird stuff and falling a lot LOL HILARIOUS. After they pointed to me they told me where the lesson was the lesson consisted of how to get off the lift on a snowboard its harder then u think because u can have only one foot strapped in! after i learned that i got bored because they repeated this for like an hour boring i know right. So someone needed help with their board so an instructor goes and shows this kid how to take your board on and off so i picked up what he was saying and then he started teaching me and this kid how to turn and break so after 45 minutes!!!! i started hitting the trails with cajua and Ben REALLY AWESOME TRAILS after i got used to the snowboard i started grinding rails and jumping ramps. Now ur probably thinking how in the world is he doing this without falling, well to be perfectly honest i was perfect on every ramp and rail HAHA that's a joke after the first two times falling my butt it felt like and peach getting beaten by clubs i think it was like throbbing LOL it hurts so bad. Anyway after we hit those trails we hit a trail called BUNNY ELBOW A BUNNY ELBOW can u believe that i thought i was the weirdest name but that trail was my favorite after we rode that for a few times. we then tried to ride in for lunch we had to take a black diamond trail which is one of the harder trails so im going then i kinda wiped out because i was scared because there was a steep hill and when i fell i got one of those thigh craps omgosh it killed after i was in pain for about 30 seconds i got back on my board and went for lunch at the lodge cold kfc yum yum then i had an AMP (its an energy drink) which was really good so after i finished my AMP i tried to find Leo, Jesse, Abby and Britney but i couldn't really find them then i found cajua and we looked for them and we finally found them and people were passing out red-bulls and where did we go to snowboard??? WE WENT TO BUNNY ELBOW YEA!!!!! Then i found out that i could put my cell phone up my helmet to my ear and it would stay there LOL its like i had my own blue-tooth!!! So we went on bunny elbow for the rest of the night which was awesome. o yea and by the way all the reasons snowboarders fall is because of ice chunks when your snowboard hits one of them u usually spin out of control then u die/fall. Then on my second to last bunny elbow attempt i was flying down a hill then it leads to a really steep hill so im going down a big hill and a ice chip and since i couldn't really brake the other way i ended up spinning out of control and making a butt trail down the hill now that hurt really bad. The last time going down the hill i didn't fall once it was awesome then we had to go down that black diamond again and im not sure if i fell or not i think i didn't fall to make a perfect way to end the day after we returned everything we hit the nearest MacDonalds which was very satisfying because i worked up an appetite. after we ate, this is where it got interesting well lets just say Leo had one two many red-bulls and the car was crazy Leo was getting all beaten up of course we took the weirdest pictures and Abby hiccuped like a wail which was hilarious. Then we wondered what everyone looked like we kinda made Abby a wail so we were wondering if she was a humpback wail but she doesnt have warts like a humpback wail so she was just a regular wail we made Brittney a koala bear and she was sprawled out on Leo and Abby so Leo kept moving Brittney then she kinda kicked his head and it hit the window and everyone was laughing i guess lesson learned NOT a lesson is never learned with Leo LOL owell anyway. On the way home there was not a second when someone was not getting hurt or we weren't laughing. The biggest wipe out was Leo flying into a tree LOL even though it wasn't so funny for him. After we got home we told mom and dad everything and everything hurts so bad today i don't know how im going to sit down for the service.

my thursday

Well my Thursday was good and really bad ill start with the bad and its geometry which i like already learned so far i have learned nothing and its really boring. Now for the good part of my day YEA WHOOO. Anyway it was science, we had Mrs. Clark best teacher ever accept for Mrs Harvey. Mrs. Clark was mean to Leo telling him not to join a basket ball team because he couldn't make a piece of bundled up tin foil in a trashcan two feet away LOL LAME A TWO YEAR OLD COULD HAVE MADE IT IN THE TRASH FOR GOODNESS SAKE. anyway the weird part of our class was that whenever i got a question right i would look away and she would chuck a piece of candy at me i was scared every time because i would answer the question everyone would stop screaming then boom right on the table would go the sliding piece of candy in my direction then i would have to make this heroic catch which im pretty good at or it would fall in my lap (99.9% fell in my lap) anyway my Thursday was very interesting.

what happened yesturday

Well it all started when i was asleep, so im telling this from what my mom told me. My dog sandy is about 6 or 7 years old and shes was really nervous for some reason so not being able to sleep my mom gets up to see whats the problem. So shes up following sandy around and she finds nothing, but little does she know......
So she goes back to bed. My mom and my sister woke up in the morning to find that sandy was just as jumpy the next morning. so mom checks everywhere finally she goes to the green rug and what does she find?..... a TURD on the rug!!!! so she says, "dog ur coming with me and the little turd, too". so she picks up the rug and so since the turd was not square it rolled off the rug and splat, right on the FLOOR!!!!!! I was so horrified because that Saturday i moped the floor for 45 min. All my hard work was down the tube... not really, my mom cleaned it up and the floor was back to normal.

the first couple times i almost fell off a horse

Im writing this because my life is boring ok well hears the story. When we were in Alabama in 2008 we rode horses like we do every year this year was a little different. I haven't really cantered on a horse since this ride which im about to tell u about so don't JUDGE me. So all five of us start out on the trails and we meet up at this one point with some other riders which i think relatives im wasnt sure so after a while of walking we hit this huge field so were cantering im feeling good about myself so we stop and go back so of course we cantered back and next thing i know im on the side of the horse the saddle totally slipped to the side and i was falling off rapidly but i somehow turned buddy(the horse i was riding)to the side and got my saddle actually on his back LOL it was an adventure i will never forget. The best story is coming up. so were riding on and an hour later we come to this log we could go around it or over it so i wanted to go around it because the log was up to buddy's chest and i really was scared so i was in a little ditch and i was trying to go around the log. Out of nowhere buddy decided to vault it and then i was vaulted into the air and i landed on the horn of the saddle which is very hard. i wish i could have seen it from behind because when buddy jumped he landed like a sticky pad to the earth so after it happened it looked as if i was a retarded rider and buddy was a normal horse just sitting there minding his own business LOL i didnt fall off if u were wondering!!! good times. This was the biggest jump i have ever done and probably will be the biggest jump i will ever do on a horse. thx for reading.
