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...

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
