Snow...
I love the snow! I wish it would snow like three feet so we were trapped at home. I like that it is so white and pure. Everything looked so yucky as of yesterday, and now it looks so fresh! It makes me happy inside. :)

Christmas Break!
I'm sooo happy that this week is almost over! It has been soo hard to get out of bed every morning. Every day this week I arrived at school later. I don't even know if I'll make it there tomorrow! Haha, of course I will. I can't say it's going to be very exciting though. Today at school we had a sled building contest for the best cardboard sled built on top of a crazy carpet. Tomorrow we are going to some hill to 'race' them and just to have a good time tobogganing. I am also going caroling tomorrow morning for first class. It will be alright, I guess. I'm getting out of math class, so that's good. Haha.
Right now I'm so comfy and happy because I'm wearing this ginormous hoodie that my whole volleyball team got this year. It has my volleyball number and last name on it. It's super comfy. I am also listening to the song "Bubbly" by Colbie Caillat. It is a great song. I like it a lot. I am not feeling that great though. This morning I woke up at like ten to six and my throat hurt so much! Then I got up for a bit and then I went back to bed but I couldn't sleep because my throat hurt so much. I couldn't really eat this morning either. I ate half of a piece of toast and felt like garbage, so I didn't eat anything else. I am feeling a bit better now though, my throat is still sore though.
I love Christmastime. It's so happy and joyful. Most people are in good moods. I can't wait to get together with family and eat good food and talk a bunch and go to Pinewood Lodge! That's going to be so good. A hot tub, a pool, a steam room, skating, doing nothing all day, watching movies, etc... :) Anyways, that's what I've been up to and what I'm looking forward to!

A new post!
I know it’s been forever since I last posted and I’m sorry for those of you who are faithful blog readers. I have been really busy in the past two and a half months. I’ve been playing volleyball for school. We just won our AAA division on Monday! We are now off to provincials on the 29th of this month. Volleyball is a busy sport when you get up to the varsity level. Things are waayy more competitive than in junior high. I have games on Monday’s and Wednesday’s, practices on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s and tournaments on the weekends. It’s been crazy. I am also taking violin lessons on Monday’s for those of you who did not yet know that. I have been taking them for two years, this being my third.
School’s going pretty good. It’s kind of boring at times, but it’s alright. I’ve realized that I really don’t like school this year. Last year it was good, but the year before in grade eight was amazing. That was probably my favourite school year. I wish every grade could be like grade eight where you wouldn’t have to worry about your marks too much and you could just goof off in class and the teachers don’t really mind. This semester is going to be pretty hard at the end because I have four exams! I’m really not looking forward to that. My next semester in the new year will be easier, I think.
Anyways, that’s what has been happening in my life over the past ‘little’ while. :)

This is probably my last blog before I start the new school year. That is kind of sad. I will miss the summer. It just flew by so fast, probably because I had so much fun. Camp was amazing and I'm so glad that I decided to go. These past two weeks I have been at home and it has been pretty boring. Our computer is broken, and I am at my aunt and uncles house right now writing this blog. All I have done, really is listen to music all day. I did hang out with my friends for a few days and I saw a movie with my cousin. But that's about it.
I start school on Wednesday, grade 10. I'm excited to see all of my friends again, but I'm not looking forward to the working part or the waking up early part. Anyways...that's all of my news.

Randomness...
Wow! It's been so long since I posted last. I've been at camp pretty much for the whole summer. This week is my first full week at home. It's been kind of boring because the computer is broken and no one else in my family is home. Music has been my last 2 days pretty much.
So, camp's been pretty good. I had two of my favourite cabins in the last two weeks. They were so much fun. I don't have much else to say about camp. Oh, except for this past weekend. It was the staff weekend, so quite a few of the staff stayed at the camp and we jut messed around the whole weekend. On Saturday night we went to Tulabi Falls and jumped off a cliff there into water that was about 40 ft deep. It was a lot of fun. On Sunday we had church there and that was good. There were quite a few people there. I went home on Sunday afternoon and I didn't really do anything the rest of the day. Yesterday I didn't do much either because the computer is broken and it wouldn't turn on!! I went to my aunt and uncle's house for supper and it was sooo good! I haven't had a home-cooked meal in a long time. It was amazing. Thanks aunt Linda! :)

Camp...
So, the past three weeks I have been at camp, Bird River Bible Camp. It's been really fun. The first week was pretty hard. It was a youth week. There were lots of bad campers, who showed no respect, but then again, how are they supposed to know respect if they don't get it at home? Anyways, the first week I had sessions with the 7 other CIT's, Matt, Keegan, Mike, Kimberley, Kimmi, Naomi, and Katelyn. They were about growing spiritually and preparing us spiritually for our camp experience. That week we also cleaned bathrooms and did dishes after every meal. It was kind of sucky at first, but after a while you just got used to it. I had fun.
The second week was pretty much the same thing. The sessions were more about different types of campers and what to do with them. We still had to clean bathrooms and do dishes. That week we also got to help out with some skill sessions. I helped with basketball. It was pretty alright. The first basketball session was really hard because I was the only councilor there for about 15 minutes and the kids were running around and getting on the biking peoples bikes and they started disappearing. The second one was MUCH better. That weekend I ended up going to Kenora with a friend. She is the lifeguard at camp and I slept in the same cabin as her for two weeks, so I got to know her quite well. In Kenora, we went to see Husky the Musky fish and the tugboat across the road. We went downtown and went shopping. It was a good time.
This past week I was in a cabin with Kristin and Kimberley. It was really fun. I had an awesome time, therefore I am going back next week, and possibly two more weeks in August. I'm hooked. I also saw a bear cub this week. It was on Thursday, and it was on top of the garbage container right by the Dining Hall where we eat. Everyone was sent inside because of it. I didn't have to do anything that day. I only had one basketball skill session, but the whole bear incident was during that. It was pretty awesome.
Next week it is kids week and I am in a cabin again. It's gonna be so fun! I can't wait. Then the next week after that is volleyball camp for me! I'm so pumped! I love volleyball and I can't wait to see my friends that I'm going with!
Oh yeah! Then there was FOLK FESTIVAL!!! It was amazing. I had so much fun. I got to see all of my family and some friends from church, and listen to awesome music all weekend! I also ate super good food and drank amazing lemonade.
So, now I'm home again for the weekend. I already ate so much good food and I haven't even been home for 24 hours. Ahh, I love home, but camp is awesome too. Last week when we came back from Kenora, we drove into the camp driveway and it was like coming home. It was so weird.

The Forks
Yesterday I was at the Forks because I was helping my mom and my aunt cater a dinner. I just love the Forks because there are always so many interesting people there. There are always musicians, entertainer guys, clowns, and the drawing guy (a guy who walks around and draws people). There was a dog show or something going on last night, so there were a lot of dogs there. We saw this HUGE dog, I'm not sure what kind of dog it was, but it was massive! It was a little over three feet tall, weighed about 160lbs, and was not even two years old! It was probably one of the coolest dogs I've ever seen.
As for the dinner. It was for the Canadian Food Grains Bank. It went well, despite just a few little dilemmas. The power went out at one point, but we had all the food cooked and prepared at home already. The mic was a bit of a problem then though. In the end it all worked out just fine.
I am on my last strech of school. My last acual school day was on Tuesday, but my last exam is tomorrow. I had my science exam on Wednesday and I had my Bible exam today. The science one was pretty easy, but the Bible was a little tricky. I just studied the wrong stuff. I have French tomorrow, which I think will be easy because the questions are in English and we are allowed to have a French/English dictionary with us. I am soo ready to be done!
Camp is coming really soon too! I'm pretty excited for it, but also a little nervous because it's my first time at an actual camp camp, not a sports camp. I'm pretty sure it will be a good time. I also cannot wait for Volleyball camp. I'm going with a bunch of friends and I think we will have an awesome time together. Folk Fest is almost here also. It's gonna be awesome this year. :)

Beautiful.
Today was a beautiful day! It was sunny then cloudy and then it stayed sunny for the rest of the day. It's kind of too bad that I was inside most of the day. It was a good day though. There was a shower for Paul and Melissa's baby, Nicholas today at the church. It was really fun and there was lots of good desserts. :) I enjoyed it.
I was on the Winnipeg Folk Festival website (http://www.winnipegfolkfestival.ca/) today and it's only 19 days until Folk Festival. They also have the daytime schedules up!! I can't wait! It's going to be a good time! I really do talk about this a lot on my blog, but it is an awesome part of my summer and it's so much fun. It's like a little mini vacation, but only about 5 minutes away from my house. You basically just sit there and listen to good music and eat good junky food all weekend. It's awesome.
Right now, I am sitting here at the computer in really comfy clothes and my MOM is mowing the lawn!! That's a shocker! My dad just taught her today! The window's are open so I can smell the freshly cut grass and it smells so good. It's so peaceful out here in the country. I think that everyone should live in the country for a while. The sun is setting slowly and the house is casting a big shadow almost to the road. It's so beautiful.
Truly a beautiful day!

Again...
Here I am sitting at the computer, again. It's raining outside, again. It's supposed to rain tomorrow, again. Sure the rain is refreshing when it's dry, but having rain for almost two weeks straight! We did have a beautiful weekend though. But now it's raining....again.
This weekend my aunt Didy and uncle Jake drove here to Winnipeg with my grandparents. Though they didn't stay long, it was good to see them again. My oma and opa left this morning. It was a short but good visit.
I am pretty pumped about camp at the beginning of July. I think it will be really fun and a great learning experience.
Last night at youth, I found out that Paul and Melissa, two of my youth leaders, had their baby. His name is Nicholas and he is VERY cute, and looks like Paul (I just saw pictures). :) I can't wait to see him and hold him. Ahh, I love babies. They're so joyful and warm and snuggly.
School is coming to a close. That is a good thing, for me at least. I can't wait for the summer. Although exams are coming, I am excited for them to be over. This summer's going to be awesome. Here are just a few highlights:

- Folk Festival
- Volleyball camp
- Swimming
- Just being able to relax and not do anything!
Sunday is the youth wrap up party. We are going swimming at my aunt Linda and uncle Wes' house and having a barbeque (I think). I'm pretty sure it's going to be a ton of fun.
Well, that's all my news. I hope you readers all have good week!

Awesome.
My mom bought me a Folk Fest ticket a few days ago. I'm not sure when exactly I'll be there, but I'm hoping for a few days! I am going to Bird River after much thought. I'll be gone from the 2nd to the 22nd minus weekends (I think). I'm pretty excited. I'm going with a friend from chuch (I think I already said that in a previous post).
There are approximately 13 days of school left before I start exams. I'm pretty excited. I'm so ready for school to be over! There are 35 days left until Folk Fest! I'm soo pumped. I can't wait. I really hope I'll be able to go on Friday night! My fingers are crossed.

The month of May and some stuff coming up...
Wow, it's been almost a month since I last posted. Time sure does fly. I can't really remember EVERYTHING that has happened in the last month, but I can remember most.
I have finally decided to go to Bird River Bible Camp this summer for the first three weeks of July. I'm pretty excited. I'm going with Kim, a friend from church, and Sarah will also be there. They're both pretty awesome people if you ask me! The little down side to going to camp is that I don't know if I'll be able to go to Folk Festival. I sure hope I can come home for that weekend on Friday night so I can catch Saturday and Sunday.
There are only 19 official school days left before exams start. That's kind of scary, but awesome at the same time. I don't really like exams very much, but really, who does!? I wish we had exemptions. I was talking to my mom the other day and she said that when she was in high school, the exam exemption grade was 60%!! That's insane! Anyways, I'm sure I'll survive and get through them.

- This weekend I am helping my mom and my aunt Michele with a little catering job.
- On Saturday night I have a friend's birthday party to go to; we're going lazer tagging!
- Exams - kind of sucky
- Bird River Bible Camp - we are supposed to ask seven people to pray for us as we serve at camp this summer and that the whole camp in general seeks to minister effectively to many campers. So, if you could do that for me that would be wicked awesome! Thanks!
- Hopefully at least one day of Folk Festival.
- And one last thing, Athletes in Action Volleyball Camp for the first week of August. I'm going with a few friends; it's gonna be pretty sweet.

pretty awesome day....
Today I went to the church with my dad and brother, Tom, to clean out the back "yard" and to put a wall up in the TYN room. There was A LOT of sand in the back and we piled it all up with the tractor and loaded it up in Johnny's trailer and he took it to his place. There are still at least 2 more loads of sand to be taken away, and the whole back needs to be swept and maybe hosed down.
As for the TYN room, the wall is all up, and all the ugly green tape is off the walls/ceiling/baseboards from painting. That was a lot of work to take that all off. It was so stuck on there because it's been on there for so long. The wall still needs to be taped and puttied, but if we just left it like it is now, it looks 100 times better than it did. We also got rid of a really ugly cabinet that the doors were falling off of. We got about 3 full garbage bags full of crap out of it. Pretty soon, it's going to be the nicest room in the church and the back "yard" behind the church will become a basketball court! :) Paul and Tim, youth leaders, are pretty excited about this whole thing. It's going to be wicked awesome.
Anyways, enough about my awesome fun day. On Thursday night I went to the John Mayer concert. IT WAS SOOO GOOD!!! He's amazing. He was soo good. On the way home Tom and I heard two of his songs on the radio and there is no comparison to his awesome concert!
Other than that, I have no news. That's everything exiting that has happened in my life for the last 3 days.
ciao

The Poem about Rain
Random Stuff...mostly concerts/music events
Wow, it's been a long time since I posted. I think I say that almost every time I post something new. hehe. Anyways, I don't have much to blog about, but I thought I should update. Right now I'm sick. I stayed home on Wednesday and Thursday because I felt really crappy. I'm getting better now though. An aquaintance(don't know if that's spelled right) of mine that I go to school with has 2 or 4 Justin Timberlake concert tickets and my friend and I were thinking of buying them. I think we're going to! I'm pretty excited. I have John Mayer tickets which is this Thursday and I am most likely going to Folk Festival this summer too! And then JT is on the 25 or 26 of August! :)
It's been beautiful outside this week! On Wednesday I layed(<--is that right?? or is it laid?) outside in the sun and suntanned for about 2 hours because I was sick. It was very nice and relaxing. It's so nice outside today to! Even though it's a little overcast, it's still really warm and the sun peaks through the clouds every once in a while.
Countdown/stuff that's coming up:

That's it!! I'm done...

Excited!!
Right now I feel like I have to blog. Today everyone was over for Easter dinner. It was really fun. We had a good time. Besides that...
IM SOO EXCITED RIGHT NOW BECAUSE SOMEONE FROM CHURCH ASKED ME IF I WANTED TO HELP AT A CAMP THIS SUMMER!!!
I think I'm going to do it. I'm already excited. I can't wait for the summer. Folk Fest, swimming, tank tops and shorts, the sun - suntanning, the beach, a new bathing suit...hopefully. Ahh, just thinking about it!
But I'm really tired right now and I should go to bed.

I haven't blogged in a really long time! Sorry it wasn't sooner. I turned 15 on the 26th of March. It was a good birthday. I had a 16 part harmony "Happy Birthday" song, and a delicious blizzard ice cream cake from Dairy Queen.
I also just got back from my cousins wedding in Ontario on Monday. That was a blast. I had such a great time. We shut the place down on the night of the wedding. We partied till everyone else left. It was great. I went shopping with my cousin and my brother's girlfriend. That was fun. I got a few pairs of flip flops and a cute dress from American Eagle. I can't wait for summer to come so I can wear it.
I'm back at school now. It's okay. The frist day back after Ontario was really hard though. Today was surprisingly better than expected. I had badminton practice this afternoon that I didn't know about until this morning and I was really dreading it. But it turned out to be fine. It was quite fun. Tomorrow is a really slack day. I have shops in the morning and then I have a 2.5 hour spare and then Bible class, which is fun most of the time because it's Harris.
That's all my news though.
The countdown!!

I'm back at school now. It's okay. The frist day back after Ontario was really hard though. Today was surprisingly better than expected. I had badminton practice this afternoon that I didn't know about until this morning and I was really dreading it. But it turned out to be fine. It was quite fun. Tomorrow is a really slack day. I have shops in the morning and then I have a 2.5 hour spare and then Bible class, which is fun most of the time because it's Harris.
That's all my news though.
The countdown!!
- 22 days until the John Mayer concert
- 92!! days until Winnipeg Folk Festival 2007! woo hoo!

Can't think of an appropriate title...
I'm sitting here at home by myself. I don't really know what to write, but its been a long time. I went snowboarding two Saturdays ago and I wiped out pretty bad. I knocked myself out and I scraped up my face really good! I don't really remember if it hurt or not because I can't remember it. I got two days off of school and hardly any homework out of the deal though! My face is pretty good now. It just looks like I got some sunburn.
Right now it's really cold outside, -16 C to be exact. It's cold! And then they go and tell us that it's going to be +7 C on Wednesday! I don't believe it. It is really sunny outside right now though. It's nice. Cold but nice.
The countdown continues:

It's been a long time since I last posted. Sorry to keep you all waiting so long. Not too much has happened in the last month or so. It's spirt week this week at my school. Nothing really exciting. I had chapel today and it was really boring and the music was horrible!
The plans I have for the next little while are as follows:
The plans I have for the next little while are as follows:
- Snowboarding at Assessippi on Saturday
- My dad and Tom are going on a mission trip to Mexico on the 17th (not that that involves me)
- I'm not sure about the weekend of the 24th. I was planning on having a birthday party with my friends that weekend, but then I got a really awesome offer from my Aunt Michele to go to a hotel with them. So, I think the birthday party can wait.
- On the 29th, my mom and I will be flying to Ontario for my cousin's wedding. I can't wait, I'm so excited!
And the countdowns for the rest of my exciting plans are: (as of today)

JOHN MAYER! :-)
JOHN MAYER IS COMING TO WINNIPEG!! I am so excited. I went with my brother, Tom, today and we went to buy tickets. I am really excited. It's on April 26, so it's a bit of a wait.
I thought about what the year 2007 is going to be like today. I think it's going to be a really good year. First of all, I learned how to snowboard and it was really fun. I have a youth retreat at Bird River Bible camp next weekend that I'm really excited about. In March, I'll be turning the big 15 and I'll be able to get my beginners license in September. That is a little bit weird I do have to admit. Also in March my cousin Larissa is getting married, so my mom and I are flying to Ontario to go to the wedding. Then in April I have this awesome concert to go to. Then in the summer as always, there's the Winnipeg Folk Festival! I'm really excited about that. It's always fun. But that's all the new news I have for now.

Snowboarding...
Ouch. Is pretty much all I have to say. As you may know, I attempted to go snowboarding for the first time yesterday. It was pretty fun, until about 2:00. I wiped out super bad and landed right on my tail bone and it hurt soo bad. That's when I called it quits. I went to sit on some stairs outside to watch people snowboard/ski down the black diamond hill with all the jumps and stuff. I went inside after that and sat with Tim, Paul and Don for the rest of the day because Tim hurt his ankle, Paul hurt his face, and Don hurt his shoulder. It was a pretty good first trip. Now when I go in March, I'll kind of know what I'm doing. I still can't carve, but I can go down the hill without almost killing myself. But that's all I have to write about now.

Florida
It's been a while since I've written anything, but I did write three posts in two days. I was pretty proud. A bunch of people from my church are planning to go snowboarding on Saturday. I heard about it, but I never really thought anything of it. I have now decided that I want to go. I have never been snowboarding before, so it's a first for me. I hope everything goes well, and I learn quickly and don't have a sore butt at the end of the day, but I'm sure I will.
I miss the mornings that were so sunny and warm,
I miss the evenings that were cool and calm,
I miss sitting by the pool, with my feet dangling in.
I miss that bright and warm Florida sun,
I miss the days we spent together walking around in Walt Disney World,
I miss when we would come home and just laze around by the pool.
I miss it all.
I want to go back to Florida.
I know that "poem" isn't very good, but it was just kind of on my mind. I was just remembering waking up to +15 or 20 degrees celcius and just walking outside to sit in the sun. It was so nice.
That's all I have for today though.

My week...
This week has been a good week. I had three exams which kind of sucked, but they're all done and overwith. I think I did okay. I had Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday afternoon's off and then I had Thursday and today off.
Yesterday I went shopping with my mom and three of my friends. We had lots of fun. I got some awesome snowboarding socks. They're so comfy. Then we dropped my friends off at their houses and we went home. I ate supper and then after that my mom and I went shopping again! It was a good day! I got some new skinny jeans. They're pretty sweet too. And after we went to the mall we went to Superstore and I convinced my mom to buy Froot Loops. I had some for breakfast this morning, and they were delicious.
Tonight I am going to Providence College with my youth group. I've been there quite a few times and I've always had a good time. It's pretty fun. Tomorrow I think I might go shopping with my mom again. I want to find some heart fabric to make some festive PJ pants. :-)
Well that's all the news I have today.

Wow it's cold!
Last night I went to play hockey with the "Wild Women". It was really fun. It was beautiful outside when we first started playing. Then the wind picked up after about 45 minutes of playing. I hit my mom with the puck in the shin while we were playing, just so you know. We went inside after that because it was just too cold. That's when I saw it! My mom's leg was purple and bruised and it had bled through her long-johns and her jeans. I felt sooo bad. It was all fine though. She said that it didn't hurt after a while, but I still felt really bad.
After that I went to the Van A's house and I had a sleepover with Kim. I couldn't fall asleep because Kim was snoring and then I pushed her over and her nose started to squeek. Then Mona, the student that they have over from China or something, was talking really loud on the phone and that kept me awake too. Kim was also hogging all the blankets! Sheesh! Anyways, I did finally end up falling asleep and I slept pretty good until about 9:00am.
Kim and I had planned to go to the mall today. We had to take the bus to the mall though beacuse we didn't have a car. We had to walk about five minutes to the bus stop and by the time we got to the bus stop we were almost frozen. It had to have been at least -40C outside with the wind chill.
That's when I was thankful I was wearing my navy blue long-johns from MEC (mountain equipment co-op). They kept me warm all day. We went to see a movie and it's always cold in the movie theaters and my dear long-johns kept me warm then too. :-)

Six Weird Things About Me:
Well, I have been tagged by my dear auntie Michele and I didn't know what that meant at first, but then I asked my dear auntie Linda and she told me. I now have to blog six weird things about me. So, here they are:
- I like to eat my breakfast sausages with syrup on them. I had some for supper today and they were delicious.
- I really don't like to read which I think is weird too because my mom is a HUGE reader.
- My dog puts me to bed every night. He lays on my bed with me for about five minutes before I go to sleep.
- I will do just about anything for candy. I get that from my mom. :-)
- According to my youth leaders, I wear increadably bright clothing. Personally, I don't think it's that weird. I just like to wear colours. :)
- I really like math. Math in grade 8 was way better than it is this year though.
That's all I got. I can't think of anything else anyways.

Exams are sucky....
I officially had my last class of Language Arts, Canadian Studies, and grade 9 Math today. It's pretty exciting to know that I am now finished these three classes for the year. Next semester I have Bible and Science, and I have my first spare ever! I'm pretty excited. I think it is going to be a good semester.
This coming week is exam week. I am not a big fan of exams at all. I really don't like studying for them. My brain tends to wander off and do it's own thing when I'm trying to study. Last night I did a bit of studying and it went pretty well, actually, but I'm going to have to do a lot more studying than just that!
I have four of my friends in my class. Today in school we had to move desks from the classrooms to the gym. This was at the end of the day and I was feeling pretty tired. I wanted to carry a desk together with someone else. But, NO, my friends had to pair up and leave me a loner to carry a desk by myself. I will admit it was kind of my fault because I was supposed to write the exam topics that were on the board onto a paper. I forgot so I had to rush to write them down and the person I was going to carry a desk with, Emily, was sick of waiting so she did it with someone else. Anyways, I'm over it.
Tonight I am going skating with my mom and my aunt Linda and a friend from church, Nathalie. There are other ladies that are coming to, but I don't know exactly who's coming for sure. We are going to play a pretty exciting game of hockey I think. I've been looking forward to it all week, so it'd better be good! I think it'll be a blast though.
Well, that's all the news I have for now.

One week down...
I have officially made it through the first week of school. I know this is a little late but whatever. School was better than I thought it would be last week. It was acutally quite enjoyable. It was good to see my friends and hang out with them again. I didn't go to school on Friday because it was a cold day! :-) I was pretty happy about that!
On Thursday I got my hair cut. I got about two inches off and it is soo much better than it was! I really like it.
Well, I guess I don't really have much to say today but I'm just posting a little update.

Enjoying what's left of my holidays
I am enjoying my holidays for sure! This week I had something planned almost every day. Well on Monday everybody was home because it was a holiday. On Tuesday I slept in for a really long time and then went the the Van A's. On Wednesday I took down the Christmas tree (how exciting!). Yesterday I helped Kim "babysit" the Larendeau girls. We went skating and got slurpee's! Yumm. After that we went to the mall and shopped around a little and I bought some new sweat pants that are really awesome. And finally today, Kim Van A is here and we've just been kind of lathargic the whole day. We made BLT's for lunch! They were pretty yummy. We played Sequence and listened to two songs over and over again! Well that's all I have for today.
Does anyone read my blog other than my Aunt Linda!?
Sometimes I wonder...does anyone read my blog anymore? It seems that only my Auntie Linda reads it!!
