My life in a nutshell.

Well, my life since the musical has been a little on the unusual side.

I went to school Monday thru Wednesday the week following the musical. I attended Crossroads, my church’s college bible study, on Wednesday night and we had a night full of games and laughs. Thursday and Friday we did not have class because we had Fall Break. Thursday thru Sunday night I spent a majority of the time studying for a biology exam Monday the 15th. I earned a 91% on that exam. I say earned because I worked my butt off. The rest of this week I have spent recovering from my “lack of sleep” over the weekend.

Tonight, my sister and I are going to a theater production at our school. I am going for extra credit in one of my classes. I have to write a two paragraph response paper about the production, but it will still be a fun night. A couple of our friends are going to be there as well.

Wednesday my baby brother turned 10.He was the last one in our family to be in the single digits.

At the moment, this is all I have to talk about right now. I might post later, but as you all know, I might not be able to keep that promise. Therefore, I will not make it.

Summer Dealings

Well, yesterday I had my last test for my summer class. I ended the class with an A. The class was very easy. I recommend the class to everyone who has to take a second science class to take that class.

Now I am finally able to have a vacation from school that last more than two weeks.

My vacation consists of Vacation Bible School, going to Branson with family, and spending a lot of time not doing any school.

Next week is my birthday. I am going to be 20. I don’t feel like I am turning 20.

Well, at this moment, this is all I have.

My Birthday

Yesterday was my birthday. I did several fun things.

First thing that happened was church. It went as it usually does and I enjoyed it very much.

After that, we went out to eat at Taco Bell with two friends from church. I can literally eat there everyday if I was allowed to. I like it that much.

Then, my mom, three of my sisters, a friend of mine, and I all went to S-town to go shopping at the mall and do some shopping at other places. I ended up with a new dress, shirt, jean shorts, a swim suit cover, high heals, and my favorite body lotion from Bath and Body Works.

We then went to eat at Fazolis for dinner and then went to a frozen yogurt place called Orange Leaf. I had never been there, but I’ve heard great things about it. So I thought I would go there and see if what everyone was talking about was as good as they all said it was. I thought it was ok, it was fun, though, to be able to go around and make your own dessert.

On Thursday, my sister and I are going out to San Diego, California. I am sooooooo excited!! We have an aunt and uncle who live out there. For all of their nieces and nephews, when they graduate from high school, they offer a few days out there. It’s their gift to us for graduating from school.

I think that is it for right now. I’ll try to post about my trip sometime after I get back, but I don’t know when that will be.

Numerous Activites.

Since the last time that I posted, several things have happened.

1. My dad had his B-day.(I won't tell how old he is.)
2. My youngest brother had his 7th B-day.
3. The girl that I teach tatting to, finished her Christmas medallion and we have moved on to a doily.
4. I went and helped at a friends horse sale.
5. We are soon to get our new Christmas music for orchestra and choir.
6. The harp lesson that I teach is going very well.
7. Music lessons are going along very well.

I am very excited for everything that is going on.

I am still enjoying the Brahms theory class that I am taking. I have been learning things that I didn’t know a few months ago.

My driving practice is going well, I guess. My parents might disagree for some of the times that they rode with me. There were some almost scary times. I don’t know how much I have at the moment, but I have at least much more than 3 hours done. Probably more like 5 or 6 hours, but I’m not sure how much I have exactly.

Yesterday. aka, my Birthday

Yesterday was my birthday!! I really didn’t do anything fun. But I had a good time anyway.

For my birthday dinner, I had salmon and some other white fish, witch I can not remember the name of it. With wild rice and corn for the sides. The fish was cooked three different ways. Broiled, breaded, and fried.

For dessert, I had a home-made Black Forrest Cake. I am tempted to sneak a piece before we go. *smile*

I got a book on how to knit socks. With everything I need to make them. I have already started on them. I also got some new, better boots for when I go riding. I actually got them last week. For I had a horse clinic/trail ride last Saturday. So I needed some boots for that.

Today we are going to my moms parents house for the fourth! I’ll hopefully put pic. up.

My Weekend

This is what has happened in my life this weekend.

Tuesday and Thursday were the final concerts for orchestra. I am sad. All of my classes that performed were on Thursday.

After the Thursday performance, we three older kids went putt-putt golfing with some of our friends from our orchestras and choirs that performed that night. I had a fun time though. Got to hang out with friends for pretty much the last time. We got there around 9. We didn’t leave until about 11:30. I know, three hours. It was almost one by the time we had dropped of two of our friends that came with us that we got to go home. It was a little after one when we went to bed.

You can go on you tube and watch some videos of the choirs and orchestras playing.

Friday was, let us say, different. Without going to orchestra on Fridays is going to take some getting used to. That night the whole family went to our church music practice, and then we went to Pizza Hut for dinner. After that, we went home. That night, around 8:30/9, Kara, Maddie, Emi, and I all decided that we would watch a move. It was “Far and Away.” It is a Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman movie made in 1992. I would defiantly NOT recommend it if you freak out about blood. So it was 11:30 by the time the movie was over.

Saturday, I went to a horse clinic over at one of our friends’ house, the S’s. I had a great time!! I learned a lot. I also helped them by going on some tours to see the baby foals. While I was opening gates I was looking for what I would “like” to get if I could get a horse. I got a nice sun-burn from doing that.

Saturday was also Becca’s 11th birthday.

Yesterday went on like a normal Sunday.

Today, really nothing to tell. Oh, we opened our pool yesterday. So it will be a matter of days before I will attempt to get in. Although the kids were talking about getting in today. My parents are actually thinking about letting them. Crazy people.

Well, I think that is it for now.

A Bucket Full of Info

Sorry I haven't been posting in awhile. Things have just been a little on the crazy side.

Since the last time I posted, a few things have happened. To say the least.

Megan just had her 9th Birthday this past Monday. We went to Incredible Pizza with three of her little friends.

We have had our piano recital. It was the last time for Kara. *sniff*

Federation has come and gone. With fairly good results. The new music has been fun to work on. Something new and refreshing! I think I am falling in love with one of our new choir songs.

The last week or so, us four older girls have been battling with a head cold thingy.

Us three older girls are almost done with a speech class that we started back before the holidays.

American Idol has been awesome to watch!! I think that Lil is going tonight. She just hasn't been showing the extent of all she can do with her voice. My favorites have to be Danny, Adam, and Allison.

Have any of you been watching the Mentalist? Oh my!!! I LOVE this show!!! Although the show that was on last night, it was not as good as the one that was on two weeks ago. But I am still a BIG fan of the show!!!

Last month, My mom, great-aunt, greatgrandma, grandma, frenid, and some of my sisters, went up to KC, and saw the Phantom of the Opera play. OH MY GOODNESS!!!! The guy who played the phantom is by far my favorite phantom!!!!! The girl who was Christine was ok, she is better than shara brightman though. The guy who played Raul was not my favorite. I think that Patrick Willion did a better job at it. I really would love to go see it again!!! But I think I know the answer to that. *sigh*

I guess that about wraps up what has been going on around here. Thanks for keeping up with reading!!

Cd's, Birthdays, and What Not

Well, yesterday we were originally suppose to get our Cd's for Bel Canto. But she(our choir teacher) didn't have them all made yet, so hopefully she will have them for us next week.

Yesterday was my dads' Birthday. I won't say how old he is, 'cause I know that he reads this. I also know that he can beat me up if I put it out there.

My Birthday

Well, as I said in the previous post, I had my b-day. I got a bunch of stuff, like anyone gets on their birthday. I got: chocolate/candy, a latch hook rug, two paint-by-numbers, sweetish weaving material, a $10 gift certificate to WM, the "Fiddler on the Roof" DVD, and Tickets to the theater in KC to see Fiddler on the Roof, very exciting.

Well, what else to blog about? We went swimming again today. It was OK. Right now we are watching Pocahontas 2. I'll attempt to put up pics from my Birthday later.

I still haven't watched the second hour of the Two Towers.

Happy Fourth, Late

Happy 4th everyone!!!!! Sorry that it's late. I've been at my grandparents house watching fireworks, eating, swimming, eating, talking, eating, you get the picture. Lots of eating there.

Well, I'm 16!!!!! Don't feel 16, but I felt that way when I turned 15, so we're good. I had a good Birthday. I'm pretty sure that Kara will put the pics on her blog.

I had the weirdest dream last night. We(My family)and some people from Orchestra lived at mall. Don't know how that flew, but it did.

Something to spark your interest

Well, last night my mom, dad, and I all watched one hour of the second part of the Two Towers. My dad said that I could watch the movies all by myself, didn't know that I was old and responsible enough to do that.

Thursday is my Birthday!!!! I don't feel that I'm one year older. But that happens to me every year. It just so happens that I have a V.B.S. meeting that day as well.

A little more Info

I thought that all of you out there would like to be caught up a bit, right? Well, I'll do my best.

Well, for starters, my sister, Maddie, is having her B-day today!!!! I hope you have a good b-day Maddie!!!!!

Next, I was finally able to watch the Lord Of The Rings!!!!!!!!! I had started the books in January and finished them in April. Sunday night I was able to start the Fellowship with my mom. We finished it last night. Hopefully, we sill start the Two Towers tonight, if my mom can stay up that late again for the third night in a row.

They took out a lot of things in the book that I liked. For example, Frodo and Sam, when they got to the forest and saw the elves going to the sea, Merry and Pippin were with them. The elves helped them to hide from the black riders as well. And they took out the part were they are at the mounds. For that is were they got their swords. They also took out the part before they get to Bree and while they were in Bree. They got Bill at Bree as well, which they did not put in as much as in the book. There was no mention of a "thing" going on between Strider and Arwen in the book. The way they portrayed the orcs, the elves, and the dwarfs are not how I had portrayed them ether.

Hi........Really nothing to do...........

Today I would be attempting to get as much of my school done before my lesson. Tuesdays are my lesson days. But when your teacher is sick, it's kinda hard to do that without one. So, today is going to be just like yesterday, nothing but school.

Today is my brothers' birthday. So, happy birthday.(I don't know if he reads this or not.) Last night we had to have the "ceremony." Because my dad is going to be gone today on business. So, that's why.
