well the day has dawned of heather's birthday! and were just kinda hnaging out for the time being... so for right now i guess i could say whats been going on lately which is not much but I got to talk to a couple of people so that was good since i haven't talked to people besides the fam for like for4ever and a day.. so i changed it up i suppose..lol....lets see if i can make something something interesting out of my life... i've said enough dumb things to last me unitl i'm foruty but unfortunatly that doesn't seem to happen.. for instance we had a two hour delay on fri, so my mom's like u don't need to go because your oly tehre unitl 2nd period anyways... well she and I didn't get the word delay meaning school starts later... and we didn't get it to 4pm ... but at least i didn't need to go so it was good ... and i shall go help the madre(sp?) not

yesterday, and today

well lets start with yesterday i suppose.. the cousins didn't come down but we went over to grandma's house anyways and spent the night and froze but in the end it was good then went to the Messiah this afternoon then went to grandma's again for dinner then came home and i get to stay up late!!! or kinda late .. but oh well at least i don't have to get up early so thats a major plus... I was suppose to go caroling and stuff but because of the weather and the FREEZING cold weather!! or should i say below freezing lol ... so with that i shall leave u to no more nonsense and will start heading to the pile of hay i sleep on lol not really... nigh night.. or as Hannah would say tootles...

nothing happens when it snows..

well its saturday and my cousins decided not to come because of the snow.... so we are just hanging out.. i'm still in my pj's thats been awhile since of done that one.. so yesterday was def blog worthy... my mom bought my sister and I chips and pepsi can u believ it.. pigs are definatly flying around here.... lol life is not very exciting righjt now i can't remeber what I was going to say... but its been to.. oh now i remember i decided not to do the equetrain team because i am not i=getting teh 4.0 GPA that i want so not this year.. but at least i got some equipment that i can now use... and now i g2g because the sister are yelling at me that i need to help clean.. so i compliantly grant their wishes

life in the super fast lane!!!!

well I went the other night to gaming practice. ie barrels, poles birangle stuff like that... and that kind of stuff gaming boring and Deacon (my horse) is not good at it.. but after the gaming practice they had Drill that was sooo much fun we were suppose to have try outs today but there was to much so so it got canceled so that was kinda nice i would have FROZE.... other then that i went painting today.. ate mushrooms and got sick.. not fun but i got a nap in lol.. tomorrow another busy day we are goin gto the Goetz's house for a sewing thingy and then to a recital thing that i am unfortunatly in and i am sure i will mess up...what fun that will be .... and now i must go finish hw before i get side tracked anymore...:)

well life is kinda I mean officailly busy...lol and so i haven't been on the comp in forever and a day... so i had to catch up on a zillion emails and stuff but now we are all back to date.. so today i went to anouther practice.. for warning i will NOT be able to walk tomorrow.. she made me post without stirups not tell me why lol oh well.. then she made me do two point so i can get them heels down.. so anyways its was a ton of fun although i'm diing.. .lol not really... thats kinda me life right now.. kinda boring but extremely hectic.. now doesn't that sound interesting... well i think i will not write any more.. ta ta for now...

news flash!!

i think i will do the team... mom might have convinced me enough..

yesterday and shopping

well last day of school for the term!! well i can't decide on this equestrain team its going to take A lot of time and i'm not sure if i really want ot do that but then i'm not sure if i'm giving up to easily... we'll see what happens... help me out!!! we can't decide so have other people decide for me wpuld be nice.. so yesterday was really fun.. we had no school yesterday because we wen tshoppign with my grandma and my great aunt i guess.. so anyways it was her b-day and she wanted to go shopping and i actually only spent 20 dollars... that is very unusual for me.. u kno wthat thing i think its called self control comes rather hard for me... but i did it...lol then we were there until 2:30ish and went to eat at Rancheros the best place and it has my favorite kind of food so i was pretty happy... my aunt told us a story about my grandma and my aunt Jeanie they had chicken whe they were younger and my grandmas was named fatty patty and my aunts was named winky dinky... apperently fatty patty was a fatty... hey that rymed and winky dinky was a small little rooster but we all got a good laugh out of it just because their names are weird.. and fatty patty died of a heat stroke with her leghs up...lol kinda funny then we started talking about the bathroom stuff and ppl going in the wrong bathroom so mom told my story that heather and i were at Wal mart when we were going into the bathroom and heather told me i was in the mens bathroom thats enough to scare ya out of a lot of growth...lol and then my granma and aunt had stories to go off of that one... so in the end it was really fun and my sides hurt from laughin like my legs hurt from riding... so that concludes the time with them and then from there we rushed home to get to my piano lesson unfortunatly we were late but i t was fun then we did some school went to church got home later then wen tto bed shortly thereafter.... so now i will be done because i really should find something to do besides blog but its kinda like writing in a journal with out the personal stuff lol and believe mne u wouldn't want to know all that stuff...so i'll be done for now....

sore muscles and sweaty horses.... what fun life can be !!!

so its wednesday and piano lessons... I'm pretty excited...love it...lol so last night was the first practice and prolly the last practice.... It was lots of fun but as many of u know i'm not very competitive and its not as hands on as i thought it would be... Josie the teacher worked me and i'm a little sore made me put my heelsdown so when deacon and i got home we both were VERY tired and deacon was pooped he's not used to riding in a sanded areana... alot harder on him... but i think i decided that i don't really want to compete and another thing to be honest is i taught the one girl Jordan how to ride like 4 years ago and we were best friends and now she doesn't want anything to do with me.. oh well its all good.. friends come and go very few stick around or i don't kno wof any actually that have sticked forever or even over 5 years... ok so we are done wioth that and class is almost over so i shall be done for now... life is good just have to look at the good part...:)

boredom at its highest degree...lol not really....

well its tuesday and the day has donned that i am sore.. it was hard after a week being off to bike it on home.. so i am not looking forward to later today...oh well builds character..lol ya right... so the weekend was rather slow had a great sunday just was really good for some reason... and guess what today is the first practice today,..... i'm like super excited but unfortunatly i'll have to miss hannahs first basket ball game.. sorry Hannah wish i could come... but i'll have to catch it some other time... well its kinda nice not to work because the extra stress is off but it also is hard not having extra money coming in.. ha i guess i spend more then i thought..lol so i might go back to work at the end of the month we will see... i might just learn to save.. prolly a good idea.. and so i am sure i have totally bored any one who is reading this so i will move on and write when there is something mor einteresting going on...

black friday what an adventure....

well its black Friday... that is such a depressing name don't u think.. i mean come on... well its the major shopping day of the year i guess and i didn't go shopping.. self restraint only because i didn't go shopping and i really don't have a ton of molla laying around so i didn't.. i painted ceramics instead... that was super fun!! Christmas presents for all... got my mom's done and now on to my aunts.. i think i will show pics when they are fired and all done.. so u can all see how bad i am at painting drawing etc... aw well it was fun all the same... and i have procrastinated on all my homework so i really should be doing it but as i said before i procrastinate.. Heidi u must have rubbed off on me a little or something happened i used to all ways be on top of everything not now I'm afraid.. so i got to spend the night at grandma's and i talked and talked and did i mention talking.. so that was really nice.. got to talk all of that stuff out, I was getting ready to explode and I'm sure that wouldn't have been to pretty.... then this morning i slept in i mean really slept.. til nine mark it on your calendars this is a first in a lifetime kind of a deal.. then we got around slowly talked some more...(aren't grandma's great for that one) then we went into town and painted.. and can u imagine we were there before my mom big shocker..not lol.. and then we went on a minor very minor shopping spree that consists of the shoe store but grandma bought us our favorite socks.. and there knee highs me favorites... i've gotten into those things just ask Hannah..lol and then we ended the day with going to a Mexican restaurant and heather went to grandma's for the night... good riddance.. not really but she was being rather obnoxious like that is really super unusual..lol but now i should think i will get back to doing Homework like I'm suppose to be doing...

Thanksgiving

well i made it..lol it really wasn't that bad.. rather quite which i really needed this year and got to spend the night at Grandma's house... that has been nice.. but i think i gained a zillion pounds i ate soo much... so not much going on tomorrow is finishing up the last bit of HW i have left and just chilling.. i have a confession today i took a nap... very bad thing.. but it was nice lol so other then that there isn't much excitment going on... oh well i could yuse it this quite for a while its been a tough week i think...:) but its all in God's hands... that is where i put my hope and trust.. and with that i'm done i think i shall head to bed.. i'm tired of staying up so late for a week in a row.. i need my pattern back.. good night and i hope ya'll had a WOnderful Thanksgiving one that is filled with many blessings ..... because all is in God's hands and that is where we should rest in...

life goes where it leads..lol

Its Wednesday and everyone should be getting ready for thanksgiving right? well for our fam is sticking around and we are all kinda tired of cookin.. so its going to be very simple.. lol a good thing i suppose.. so today consisted of ridding for 20 min unfortunately i got a new bit and i wanted to try it out but didn't ride enough to try it out enough but at least Deacon (my horse) can't pull my arms off anymore..lol a nice thing..:0 so anyways there hasn't been much goin on.. today was my last day at work...finally !! oh and then there are no more turkeys and so i don;t gross ya'll out i'll not say anymore then we got them all sold and we are going to need more for next year... so thats it of the life of a farm girl can be exciting and not so exciting...lol.. so with that i leave and you have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

and keeping to the tradition of Thanksgiving

I am thankful for
for my Saviour first of all
my wonder family
supportive friends
and many other things that are so hard to explain and fro lack of time won't....

well its saturday.. and so we actually had a really good day.. we cleaned house.. the not so fun part then we went for a ride which was sooo much frun we basically rode for a total or 7 ish miles.. man i was sore.. sorry to say i haven't ridden enough.. but it twas fun.. heather had an interesting spill not bad or anything just in slow motion.. so she was getting Wanda's reins ( the horse) and the reins got way up on her neck so she was leaning way up one her neck and wanda put her neck down so slowly she went head over heels it was pretty funny to watch couldn't quite laughing.. such a bad sister i am.. other then that there isn't much going on.. jsut we are all amazed that its almost hanks giving.. i guess we are all not looking forward to it.. oh well its just a day.. with that i think i might consider bed as a good possiblity of what to do next..

how interesting life can be!!! jk

well, life just gets crazier... i don't know why it just has been crazy... last night was a crack up and like the day before i was in one of my moods.. so i was coming back form my piano lesson and heather was home alone so we had to call her to get her to open up the door... so i called her and said 'Hi i was looking for jeanice'... (my mom) and then she asked me 'who was calling and' i took a min trying to figure out who i was and i randomly said 'julie'.. the she goes 'Hi! umm she's not here right now'... and then i just started laughing.. couldn't play it any longer..man it was funny...:)ok but this wasn't as randome as it sounds i had aa motive.. i wanted to know what she would say because you shouldn't say that she's not here instead that she's not available then ppl don't know that u are alone..so that was me point.. then heather and i were feeding animals and i was turning off and on the flash light so she couldn't see. she finally got mad enough that she threw hay in my face.. nice mouthful of hay i got ..i love it when its only girls you can be rather silly it seems.. always a fun thing to do.... ok so today is unusaully busy because we are meeting some one who wants to see ruth.. I am so glad i don't go to regular school full time at least.... all this week was catch up weeek woopee... so the pple who are caught up have to sit an do nothing.. so boring... i mean out of our class of 20 ish students there were only six of us who were not behind or had an 'I' which would be failing.... oh well hoemschooling i think sounds alot niceer.. i don't knwo if tahts a word?? oh well... guess what?!?! i only have one more week to work!!!! i'm sooo excited.. i really don't like working in the dark and wearing a head lamp....it was freezing last night.. i know so lame but that is life right now... lameness.. oh heidi i can't remeber if i already said this i'm getting old.. short term memor loss .... i can;t comment on your blog.. i'm not sure why... didn't find the comment thing in the bottom of your post.. well with that i will take my leave.

.....

well yesterday was pretty funny... it was my dad's b day and he turned really old he also left for jury duty as i already said .... but last night as some of you can testify i was in a really weird mood and i have to say i was and its carried over to today.. sad sad...:) so anynways i only have one mroe week to work i'm super excited.. ok i think this might freak some of u out.. and it kinda does me but anyways we are doing 40 turkeys on sunday afternoon and then on mon and tues we have our own turkeys to do... after a dentist app.. we are going to have numb mouths .. so fun isn't it.... alright lets see if we can talk about something better then that.. and i don't have anything so i will be done.. so long for now...

the crazy life i lead...

well the weekend has gone and another week has begun... so the weekend was really fun and got to talk over somethings with my cousin that needed to be talked about... so that was really nice .. then on sunday i got to go to a get together with some friends and i talked with a friend that i really needed to talk to... a whole guy thing.. they always get in the way so anyways she was jealous of me last year for some reason and so now that she doesn't like this guy any more she's all good ... but anyways we needed to talk some of those things out... so anyways got up the next mornign was super late.. not a good idea...lol but i had gone off of ten hours of sleep from saturday night to sunday night ...not a great idea i'm afraid...:) then monday i was super tired anyways so at the dinner table someone but the laghing pill in me or i just couldn't control myself i was that tired all the above i guess so the dinner table was quite entertainign lol.. now for today i got up late again so i didn't make it to math oh well..:) and my dad's birthday is today and he's turnign way old lol.. he also leaves for eugene for Jury duty..... a bummer thing to do on your b-day..... oh yesterday a lady came out and fit saddles on our horse because my first practice is Dec 2 or 4 so anyways i got a stueben its really nice its like 20 years old but its in really good condition and the right price.. i'm also getting a harsher bit because Deacon my horse is pulling my arms out.. then my mom also wants me to use the icelandic because she's younger but she is the one i got bucked off of and broke my collar bone on so i'm nto to hip on it but i now have a saddle ... that alsways helps....:) so with that i'm done for today so long me friends....

hey kelly and phoebe you need to send me invites to your blog i want to read em...:)

because i'm bored....

well i am once again stuck with nothing to do... oh well so i'll try to write about something interesting... well we'll start with last night i had to work again in the dark but my dad came and helped me yaness!!! then the milker things broke down so the guy that milks did most of the feeding for me ya again !! we were out of there in 15 min so nice comared to the hour it takes me by myself... i'm soo done with that job as u can tell.. i think i'll take more of a girly job.... lol i know but i think doing the turkeys is going to be enough for me.... :) umm lets see if there is anything else.... oh my cousins are comign down for the weekend with i already sayed but i'm excited because i haven't seen them in forever... so today is friday our super busy day and heather and Ruths music lessons and the sign language.. today we also have to get all the stuff for next monday for its doomsday for our turkeys..... and we have decided that they all will be gone instead of keeping some to breed back because they get aggressive and stuff.... so i really think i should shut up and find somthing better to do then write about nothingness... man i wish this thing would let us get on my emails i'd be all caught up by now...lol

ok i'm done

i don't have a title

well it wednesday and school starts again.. sometimes public school dirves me crazy!!! i have my project done so i get to sit and do nothing and they won't let u check emails it stinks so i blog when i'm bored i really should be doing my writing assaignment but i can't write a story right now... so i've been trying to figure out how to get those cool backgrounds but i did what they told me to and it won't work .. oh well i'll eventually figure it out... well, life is pretty slow .. cousins i think are comign down this weeknd if it doesn't snow... last year we started the tradition of of doing shoe boxes through smaritans purse for kids over seas.. its pretty fun you get to get stuff for other kids.. so anyways i think that is what we are doing this weekend and if not i might babysit my boss's kids... we'll see...I only have two more weeks to work... i really don't like working in the dark not fun.. wearing headlamps its cold just not something i enjoy doing... ummm lets see there really hasn't been anything that has gone on sad to say.. oh hannah made the Freshman team!! she was pretty excited although she was super sore today that she could barly walk up the stairs... lol all worth it i guess.. so that all for now...

life in the super fast lane in a little town how ironic

well i had to tell those people who i haven't emailed or i haven't been keeping in touch with that i'm sorry.. but as most of you know that the first year of highschool is always tough and that has been proven true once again..and with the coming of thankgiving i have to worry about what to do with them turkeys.. and finishing up school for teh term with grades that acceptible to me...lol higher standars then the parents sometimes.. so i would email if i had either i double, a thrid brain or another server to run off of.. wouldn't that be nice ..lol so so you all know i haven't forgotten but i just am super and i mean super busy.. it seems that as soon as u hit high school everything becomes a challenge.. i have to say that before i could breeze through school rather easily...:0 not now though...:) and u need super powers or a juggling act... so with that i need to go finish up a few things before i go to work.. but if you want to get a hold of me please call thats the only way i seem to be able to talk to people..

this hecktic week.....

so its late and i wanted to update.. starting wedneday i guess ...... i don't know.... i got a maessage from my grandma that was really nice.. the thur we went to sign language and i went to a meeting about the High school equestrain Team so anyways i joined and i am quitting my job at the end of the month whoopee!!! friday which i guess now would be considered yesterday was good and busy .. had to catch up woth all my homework and then went to painted ppl so that was fun and then came home got ready for company coming tomarrow for dinner we'll have around 18 ppl coming a big crowd in such a small house .. oh well it should be fun and with that i'm really tired that i can barly keep my eyes open ...

sorry everyone that i haven't been emailing as much as i used to...kinda busy..lol btu i'll try to catch up this weekend...

The Weekend!!!

well the weekend is over and the school week has begun.... what a bummer =] On Friday i got to spend the night at the Sullivans house with hannah and laura. It was soo much fun!!! we got to talk till really late so that was fun.... then the next morning Jon caleb and colin went pheasent hunting and they cought one so that was kinda cool.. but the girls hannah, laura, heidi and I went to see laura's fort and then we wound up having to rock climb to get back up so that was really super fun and really pretty. all the fall leaves had fallen and tehre was a blanket of yellow and a small little creek winding through it.... very pretty wish i had picture but i don't sooo.... Oh i also got to drive the 4 wheeler that was soooo much fun...lol very exciting adventure... so monday was the feild trip its was the longest car ride that i have ever been on... It took us 4 hours to get to Portland and another 4 to get back but the ehibit thing was pretty cool so i guess it was worth it but since it took us so long we could have been in sacromento with all the time we were driving.. isn't that crazy....Then i have given my notice for work i'll work all of this month, dec i will take off to start the equestrain team to see if i want to do it and if i can work while doing it... i have talked way to much and i am done.......

well... life... in a small town

well i think i unoffiacilly quit my dairy job... i finally decided that i want to quit down to about one day a week.. i thought that after 2 1/2 years of working there i will take a breack and work at school music and a less taxing job litereally and figurtively..lol.. i have other things i can do to get money so i don't think thats a problem i don't know about u but i would much rather babysit and train a horse then haul heavy buckets to feed cows... so i'm done... so i will concetrate on really getting good grades because latlly i've been so busy that my grades have suffered not tremedously but there like b's instead of a's so thats what i'm aming for.. then last week we had a college fair that was really cool because i finally was at least old enough to start looking at some of the stuff ... exciting for me at least... i know it might seem odd that i am looking for ward to more school but really u get to study what u want to study... and i know what i want to to and i love doing it so thats it .. and again why did i writ about this man i get off track easy... guess what! i get to go to Portland! for a feild trip and i get to go on the buss with hannah.. i'll at least know someone... that will be nice.. so thats on monday.... i think that i'm done...


by the way sierra u need to update!!!

heather she's too funny and its waayyy not fair..:)

well yesterday night we, were at walmart.. and heather, Ruth and I headed to the bathroom but as i was walking in there heather says "your in the guys bathroom!" i was like man and started to walk out of there pretty fast but of cource she was joking but man she scared me sooo bad.. i went crazy... so since she did that to me i get to tell how heather ran into a poll when we were in cali last month i think... we were walking back to our cars from a resturaunt in oceanside.... and heather was looking at something else and wasn't paying attention to where she was going. and she ran into a poll yep thats right.... was quite funny to see heather run into a poll... there are other ones but those i'm not yet allowed to tell.. such a bummer because its a crack up... now i would like every one to tell their blode/embarresing or funny stories... and i'll think up some of mine because there are a lot of them...lol

how life goes .....

Ok it was homecoming last night.. we unfortunately lost the game to west Salem 20 -34.. i thought this was rather amusing since the panthers beat the my cousins team on their homecoming game... so i guess it was just the opposite... oh well.. it thought they played pretty good.. oh one thing kind of funny out of it was ... hold on let me start at the beginning. so the Ronhaar's and our fam went to Izzy's before the game then when we were in the third quarter of the game Caleb asked me if i actually watched the game and i was like no just the score board and he actually believed me..... :)

Oh then i got to listen to Hannah's ipod.. i need on now.. hers is so cool u can shake it and it'll change songs..how cool is that...lol

oh and just off the wall i was wondering if any of you know how much unlimited texting costs???

well thats all for now

Life that could get exciting....

well yesterday was actually pretty fun... so they picked me up from school an hour after class ended... i have to say i finger splelled everything in that school while i waited... then we made it to sun river had to eat... it was the first time i had actually eaten really thins whole week... hate school because of that..lol ...and i go to bike on the new bike we got for the first time... its a really nice bike... but twasn't to expenssive specailly since i didn't have to pay for it...lol... then from there we had to get home by3:30 fro my piano lesson which was soo much fun... did some school and then went to work... hung out there until 7:00 it was dark walking home but anyways the guy down there offered me two jobs.. one to work with his two year old horse an quarter paint cross and babysit his two cute kids... and i get paid even better eh..... I love working with kids animals anything.. teaching is my passion so thats what i get... anywho thats about it.. today is the busy day kinda crazy get up got to school then got to heather and ruth's music lessons and then head to bend for sign language come home and finish up school so.. it will be a busy day but i good one.. i like busy most of the time...

nothing exciting

Ok well Life has been pretty good. Today its my parents anniversary and they want to take all of us .. go figure.. go down to sunriver and Bike for the afternoon ... we have to be back home because i have a piano lesson and i work tonight so i said i should stay home but no.. the won't ewant us to be bored.. i have to say i would be far from bored.. anyways that was the plan before i left this moring who knows if that will change... umm this week we haven't done very much this week.. just have been very busy.. i also might have another job babysitting some kids they are under under three.. so that should be interesting.. This weekend we might go up to Portland to see my aunt, uncle and cousins... Hopefully we can do that...
with that i think i have talked enough about nothing lol

well i'm bored

Well I went shopping on friday and heather got some really nice clothes.... she looks hot with a double T... Oh and then heather and i were looking at the shoe rack and heather had some really high shoes on and she was breathing right next to my nose and i have to admit i said something rather stupid. I told heather to stop breathing out of my nose!... am i crazy.. no just blode..:) this might seem different thing to say but i have been know to say similar things before, again heather was annoying me because she was chewing in my ear and i told her to stop eating out of my mouth... i have said that satement twice now.. man my sister brings the best out of me don't you agree?? wow so anyways not much going on tonight we went to some freinds house and had a fantastic dinner!! man it was great... mexican which is my favorite and then we talked for awhile and now i better get to my homework. lol

PS you need to vote ppl...

Yesterday was quite interesting so i get to school and its practically a normal day and then i get to computer class start to log into my computer and this guys askes me if i like this other guy named sean... so i's kinda struck dumb for a min trying to figure out what he's trying to say and then i said trying to clear things up.. what kinda like are u talking about and he prompmtly responds like a boy friends... i was like NO WAY ... so that was the end of that.. was is the big deal.. i mena i don't know these guys from adam.. i mean come on think realistically... anyways after that was over i biked home and we got to go to sign language that was fun and now i know how to sign San diego California...i's so pround ok myself lol jk... so then from there we went on a little shopping spree got a little lost.. But my mom started driving my grandma's car its a stick shift somehow she got all confused on what gear she needed to be in that she was reving the engine pretty bad that it kinda stunk.... oops lol .. then today she needs to go shopping so we get to go to yahness (i like that word lol) ok since everyone is putting there schedule up i might as well do mine.. although mine isn't as exciting as both Drew and sierra but i got to go with the flow eh?
5:00 to 5:30 am try to talk my self into waking up 6:00ish i head outside to start feeding the animals 6:40 head out to the bus stop to catch the bus 7:30 school starts 3:30 to 4:00 finsh up school and depending on what day it is eather head to worlk or do outside chores or both
and then around 9ish head for bed and do it all over again...

well thats enough for today i think have to finish up that school so i can go shopping!!!!!

getting to schooll yesterday

Well yesterday i did the PSAT and i have to say i guessed alot .... but it wasn't to bad or hard... anyways there isn't much to say my grandma got into a minor car accident but i guess it wasn't bad enough she needed to go to the hospital but she said that she was a little stiff yesterday.. Oh and then yesterday i had to catch the buss because we don't have a car while dad is in Eugene... But they changed the time and it was 5 min earlier then normal. so i missed the buss.. i had to bike there and when i was about 3 blocks from the school my back tire went completly flat so i had to walk the rest of the way to school... I got to the school a 1/2 late which was ok because the hadn't started the PSAT yet.. ....at least on the way home i didn't have any more peoblems..:) thats enough for today hopefully it will be a less eventful weekend...:P

My trip

It was a tiring yet great trip!!We set out wednesday night after i worked and we made it to Weed cali. Then on Thursday we made it to sac of tomato (sacramento) where my grandparents live (my dad's parents) we stayed there overnight and on Friday we made it down to san diego where my other set of granparents live. we were pretty late getting there because of LA traffic, my uncle also satyed there on Frday night and the next morning all of us (my fam, uncle mike, and granparents) went to Ocean side Beach It was super nice to lay on the beach... great feeling prolly one of the best on the whole trip and then from there we had a little embarressing moment which i am unallowed to tell about... i'll just say that it has to do with a poll and walking...:) u can go from there... That night mom dad and muncle ike went to the reunion and we got to chill at grandma's house.. that was nice because i got to watch some TV and catch up on emails... I have to say that what my uncle said was right that when the Funk girls get near a TV its like a deer in head lights... Then sunday we made it to Napa where my uncle, aunt and cousin live. (dad's side) then we made it home just in time for work...

I hve to say that i had kind of a scary expoerinece was i drank a red Bull that was for my dad but he didn't like it so i drank it and i also drank anouther heathly version of an energy drink ..... man that was weird.. it was kinda like the feeling i get when i have too much asthma medicine.. u start to shake and get a head ache..... anyways that is not going to happen agian

Over all the trip was great!!! we had a great time alltogether and the weather was nice. It was a good break up in the pattern of school.. tomorow i take the PSAT ha hope i can get it done its a three hour test .. the longest one i've ever taken.. that it for now

Sunny California!!!

Well I'm in cali and is so warm!!!! its not even funny.. and guess what ... i go to drive.. ya .. can u belive it and i didn't crash anything....don't freak out only a golf cart but it was fun anyways... so its been pretty nice...but its kinda windy so its cooler then i had hoped but hopefully that will change the more south we go... we are going to leave tomorrow and make it to San diego and see my mom's dad and his wife.. my grandad and grandma... so i'm pretty excited .. my uncle flies down tomorrow.... then on sat mom and uncle go to the reunion thing ... then i think we are going to chill at their house... so that will be nice... then on the way back we'll go to my aunt and uncles house who live in Napa...... now i think i have to finish up homework .... what a bummer eh?? uh but it needs to be done so until next time...

I can't believe another week has gone by.. they go by sooo fast... we have been busy just doing school and that sort. Ruth has been a little sick today but nothing to bad.. We hope to be going dwon south next week which i'm pretty excited about. my mom and her bro have their 30th high school reunion. man they are getting old... don't tell them i said that..:P On our way down we are going to see my couin and my aunt and uncle my dad's sister and brother in law.... so that should be good. although my cousin in 4 years older then me it usually winds up to be a pretty good time when we go down there.... umm i think i have eghausted all subjects for now....

a week

This week has been very very busy.. I was already pretty behind on most of my school work and didn't catch up til today. Tonight my uncle Mike got here which was great as always... Tomorrow is my mom and uncle's bday so thats why he came down..There isn't anything really to say other then i always get sooo excited when my uncle Mike comes down. He has been there a lot for us.. He's kinda like a second dad in some ways.. its really cool... But i guess thats waht uncles are for , right.... There is kinda a lot to say but anyways the evening was a better one that i've had in a while which was nice..:) we didn't wind up going to the foot ball game but it was ok ...... i was happy that i finished all the school for this week. I still have a little homework but there easy and fun. I finally decided on the literature class i so wanted to take.... i just can't fit anything more into my schedule so my 8 credits will have to do for now...crazy i know but hey what of it.. On Thur Mom had her 'party' I guess you would say. Dad gave her her gift which was a desk that he made that fit in her prayer closet as she calls it. It was really cool to see my mom actually get kinda emotional over a present... she even said that she might have to hall that one aroud because she thought it was so sweet.. And for those who know my mom that kinda a big deal... Oh My mom also told me what she wanted me to do with my senior year of high school. since i plan on graduating early i'll have time to do fun stuff for my senior year. we plan, that i (at least for right now) will go to a nanny scholl which only takes around six months to complete then from there i would go some where either over seas or in the states to nanny for some one.... This would help me get towards my goal of eventually becoming a middle or high school teacher... so ha thats about as exciting as anything gets right now....

life goes on.....

life over here ... humm lets see on saturday night a friend of mine had her wedding.. Of cource she is much older then me:).. that was fun.. she was a beautiful but i guess everyone is on their wedding day. The only down fall to the evening was that it was super cold and my dress wasn't exactly warm as you can imagine:).... then sunday i hung out with my grandma and Max and then came home did homework like crazy ... and hurry up and fall asleep.. that my life right now get up super early and then go to bed late and do it all over agian....:) not bad i guess. Then today was school and work and all that good stuff. This friday we might go up to Portland actually west Linn because our high school is playing my cousins high school so i think we might go to that. or we might let it go since my mom and my Uncle Mike are having there b-day on sat ... And my Uncle Mike is coming down!!!!!! i'm sooo excited.....anywho.. for those of u who have my number call me i could really use to talk to ppl... thats all for now

out of the norm...

so life goes on. Today i had to change my schedule and quit my geography class because i had to take both English and geography because they are entwined so i had to take both or none and i opted to take none. If you get over two classes then you are considered an RHS student therefore i couldn't keep my homeschooling status. so anyways I'm taking a computer class at the Hartman building. thats been good so far. There is a foreign exchange student in the class i sat by her on monday and we started talking. She's from Thailand. she's suppose to be a junior but because her English isn't perfect she has to progress over the year.. but she's really nice.. i like her so at least i have someone to talk to.... but i do most of the talking i'm afraid... its kinda funny because she says a piece of a sentence and then i have to try to guess the rest of it because she doesn't know how to say all of it.. thats all for now

Life

school is beginning to be hard.. a good and bad thing... this next week i should be starting sign language and possible a writing class.. so i'm pretty excited..:) i've been doing pretty close to nothing get up go to school bike home then come home to more school and being done around 2 to 3 in the afternoon then do chores/ some homework then i go to work come back eat dinner hang out for awhile call ppl then go to bed pretty close to exhausted.. I have to say that biking one way to school has gotten my rear end pretty sore.. kinda hard to sit on it some days.... :P This weekend we prolly will go to the foot ball game because it a home game... and then thats about it for teh weekend... Next weekend a friend of mine.. who i used to work for is getting married so we gtet to go to her wedding.. that'll be nice.. so anyways i think thats all for now .
until next time....

High school...... wow i'm in for a year..:)

Today was the first official day of school. with all the freshman and the upper class men. It was crowded but i'm getting used to it ..... we, my parents and I have decided that i'm just going to take the first two periods and then i'll home-school for the rest of my classes. My first two periods are math with ms. coblentz and geography with Mr. killpack He is sooo funny. for example he was demonstrating the reason for being in your desk before the bell rings. so he's our in the hall and the the bell rings and he comes crashing in the room hitting the desk consequently both the desk and him fall to the ground. then he went on to say that he didn't want that to happen because blood would be everywhere and he didn't know where the mops where. ... He's got great dry humor with happens to be my favorite... oh and then this i was sitting in biology class i i got my first glimps of the guys.... so i was sitting there and it was ok to talk so this guys asks for this other guy named Brandon if i wanted to go out with him i was like are u kidding ... and then this other girl chimed in and told me just to ignore him so thats what i did .... I personally thought it was quite funny here i had never seen this kid til yesterday and now he's asking me out ... slow down there buddy because your not going to get it anytime soon or ever.... man talk about cazy or different .. hah i think i'm going to have many more surprises through out this school year...

thats all for now

A better week

Life has begun to settle down. although its been boring i guess its been good.... This past week we have started to make our arena i'm so excited that i'll actually have a flat place to ride on :) Yesterday we went school supply shopping and Ruth and Heather got fitted for a violin and viola. So i had a pretty boring week but i hope that all will get better when school starts.

I'm sorry not much is going on but next week i'm sure that there will be more :)

What a week?

So this week has been a trying one and i look with a hope for a better one this next week. As far as anything exciting not much all we have been doing is watching the Olympic's but i don't really like them so i am on the computer at my grandparents house.. I 'm learning how spoiled i am to have high speed..:) (nice to have a computer dad):P but anyways other then that not much has been going on

As for the horse, i found out his name is Jack. He's an14 year old quarter horse who is over weight but with a little TLC could be a great horse quote from his previous owner who is also our farrier.. All i have to decide now is if i want to have another horse with all the time and energy it takes to have another one. I've decided it's either a car at 16 or a horse now.. as of right now i'm thinking about a car at 16. This is because i already have a horse i could use although he's older him and i have lots of fun together...... It's a bummer we have to choose.:) so i'm still on the fence. but the fence is leaning more towardsd no.. The trailer i wouldn't need until Decemberish when the High school equesterain team begins to start practicing so i still have a bit of time on that one.

As for school i'm getting excited and nervious.. ha there is a handful of emotions going on for that one. For right now i am going full time at the local high school which is kinda scary because i have been homeschooled my entire life so i have no idea what i have got myself into...oh well i'll haev to learn that one in a hurry i guess ..I think i've exahausted all points..and thats all for now
until next time

This weeks happenings

This week has been kind of a hard week but life is still going good.... as for what i've been doing, not much has gone on this week.. but still just trying to stay busy.. for the last couple of nights we have gone to my grandma's house to watch the Olympics although these aren't terribly interesting to me but Heather loves them and spent the night at her house.

Today i was literally talking to a man about a horse. Our horse farrier sold his horse to our next door neighbor the Burk's, who i work for, but anyway they have decided that they want to sell or give away their horse so i called the previous owner, our farrier, about him he sounds like a nice prospect. The horse is 14 and is overweight but that can be helped has a little stumbling issue but thats not a big deal. So i'm pretty excited even more that my parents are agreeing to it. I also have been looking for a small horse trailer so i can compete in a high school equestrian team which requires trailering. The team doesn't start til December so i have a little time to save up some money. :)

With School arriving so does the butterflies that always end up in my stomach. One thing that i am grateful for is that one of my friends named Hannah is going to the same school. and even better is that we will be sharing all our classes except for one. That will be nice and i also know a friend from a long time ago that is going to be a junior this year so i think i'll be better off for that.

with that my bed is calling me

Saginaw convention

This past week we went to Saginaw convention it was so much fun and a great strengthening period for me. On wed we arrived minutes before dinner started and we had our first meeting for the week it was so nice to be there. SO much peace and quiet and a feeling that can only be ' felt rather than telt' anyways we go to bed eventually got up the next morning with vigor.. but as the week progressed we got up later and later and a lot slower. But we still were all up before 7 am so not to bad :)

After that we enjoyed 4 full days of convention!! It was so nice!! cannot be explained but i have been sharpened and hope to go more faithfully in the coming year. On Saturday night one of my really good friends professed to follow after Christ that meeting also my friends little brother. then on our way back home i had a wonderful talk with my parents. and to sum it up it was one of my best week in my life...

my life

This weekend our grandparents and my cousin from south Africa came up from Sacramento CA. we had a very full weekend with lots of fun... we floated the Deshutes river and rode horses We had lots of fun.. It was a great weekend. They left early this morning to go back to CA. and now we get ready for Saginaw convention that starts wednesday night.

so this will be it for awhile and when i get back hopefully i'll be able to get the pics from the fair up..

preps

OK, so as for life past the fair. Last weekend we (my fam) went to Saginaw for preps. One of our Friends offered to fly us up there but since my mom doesn't like to fly we drove but some of my friends from this area flew up though.
AS for getting there we added another hour to our time by getting lost which i have to say is quite regular for us...but we made it just in time for dinner and the sing that followed. The next day we worked to get ready for convention.. I washed dishes with some of my friends and it did turn in to a mini water fight. It was fun.!

I have promised some of u pics from the fair this year. I decided instead of sending u each a scrapbook that i could send u this blog and then u could look at it that way.

SO Fair week began Monday afternoon July 21st the fair didn't actually start until wed but we needed to bring up our bake goods and stuff like that. On Tue we brought up all our animals and set up camp to stay for all week.... Everyone showed market on Wednesday and all did well. some Even made it into the championship round.. Thursday consisted of barn duty and rides for all. Laura and Hannah succeeded to get me on the hanglider and another ride but this was all they could get me on i have to say i was quite a wimp because i was slightly sick afterwards. Then on Friday was showmanship with hustle and bustle each getting their animals ready.. some did good and others had a hard time but we made it through the day with smiles and laughter. Sat we got ready to go home. Our family left in the late afternoon. the ppl participating in 4-H loaded their animals up early Sun morning.

I will get the photos up when i can
