enjoying the outdoors with my bro and sis

Today is 79 degrees and very sunny and beautiful outside with a gentle beeze. We even had Sabbath School outside today because it's so beautiful and being in a little room with 12 teenagers and 2 teachers gets kinda crowded. :) It was fun even though it was a little hard hear with the traffic and the wind on our ears. But we had a great time. The lesson was on Hope. Next week I'm teaching the lesson on Life. It'll be my first time. They're trying to get the youth more involved in being leaders etc... Three of the youth shared about their recent mission trip to Mexico. They sounded like they had an amazing time preaching doing VBS and painting and fixing up a camp/dormitory. I really wish I could go on a mission trip. I'll have to save up an go next year maybe... maybe with Marantha Missions or something like that. I have always really wanted to go on one but haven't had an oppurtunity yet. Plus I really want to go on one with people I already know. But where there is a will there is a way and anything is possible with God. Well God Bless and I hope you enjoy the pics! :)

My creek fish







My sister and I have been wanting to catch something in the creek, frogs, crayfish, whatever. So we went down there yesterday afternoon when it was really sunny. I went it and the nice cool water went up to my waist. I took the net we bought and tried to catch some fish we saw. It took like 10 minutes before I finally caught one. Then I got better at it by being very slow, sitting in the water waiting for the fish to come close, then, bam! Got him in the net. I caught 4 little fish and 1 big one. My sister caught the other two. I brought home some rocks and put them in my tank with my fish. Mandy says the big one creeps her out. Does it creep you out? It's kinda sick with a fungus so hopefully I can cure him with my medicine. Maybe thats the only reason I caught him, I don't know. He went under this rock and I stuck my net in and got him. He is very fast though. They all are still getting used to their new home. I feed them goldfish flakes. I might have to let the big one go, I don't know yet. It was so much fun catching them and putting them here in my room where I can sit and watch them. :) When I was down getting the rocks from the creek, mandy asked my dad to come see them in the bucket. So they went upstairs, and mandy screamed, for lo and behold, the big fish was on the floor flopping around! My dad scooped it up in his hands and put it back in the bucket. I was afraid they'd try to escape, so at the creek I had put a big rock over the top of the bucket. But then we got home and I thought mandy was watching them but she wasen't. Oh well it's a funny story anyway. Another funny thing is a long time ago, when I was maybe 11, my sister and I got our first goldfish. And that night my dad had a dream it jumped out of the tank and was flopping on the floor. :) Anyway, hope you got a kick outa that. You probably think I am like really weird now for doing this kinda stuff. :)

shoes


How random can I get? Well, I was doing spring cleaning yesterday and got all my shoes in a basket, so I decided to take them upstairs to my closet and count them, 12 in all, 6 flip flops and 6 other shoes. Of course I have 2 sneakers and cleats too... so thats 15 in all... besides the ones my sister stole from me. lol. So thats me, random as can be. Try being random. It's good for you.

Guy and Bell





Guy (he's 11 yrs. old) found another girlfriend! Our old dog is getting lucky isn't he! At his age he's able to keep up with the young 5yr. old and 1 yr old! :) Shiner is our neighbors dog and he plays with her a lot, and bell is from down the road. They're all border collies (sheep dogs, born and raised on farms lol). Shiner and Bell love playing ball, whenever, wherever. but whenever another dog is around Guy, he doesn't care about anything else, not balls, not frisbees, not treats, not water, just the other dog. Bell is a little camera shy so she went under the truck. I haven't met any camera shy dogs before, but I guess she doesn't like the flash.

I GOT BRACES!!!

Yup I did. They hurt, but I'm glad I have them. What do ya think?

Today, living in the moment

Today is Easter Sunday. I had pancakes for breakfast. I like being random. I am who I am. If you're my friend you will call me crazy and be crazy with me. Because everyone has a wild side, me and my friends just prefer to make ours public. Shout out loud. Sing a song and I'll dance along.

Lost Dog

A neighbour of ours found this lost dog. She had to work today so she asked us to babysit it. We're trying to find a new home for her, if the owners don't show up. We think she was dumped because she has no collar or tags but she was clean when she was found. She doesn't do well with other dogs, but she is very friendly to people. Comes when called or whistled to. But doesn't know any other commands besides come and sit and she doesn't listen too well. But I hope she finds a home because she seems healthy and all animals need a home!

howdy

Hey whats up? How's it going reader? Since you're reading this I suppose you're wondering what this post will be about and whats up in my life right now. Well since you are, I am wondering the same thing about you. Why don't you leave a comment and tell me about it. How was your day? Anything interesting happening this week? Well I am getting braces on my teeth this Thursday. I am pretty excited about that. It's been raining a lot lately. My karate class is canceled this week because it's good friday and the teacher will be too busy to teach. But anyway, got any plans for Easter? Me? Oh just going to church on friday evening for a fellowship supper and to hear the choir sing. I have been knitting quite a bit. Finished my afgan, and started a scarf... some dishcloths... Í'm telling you knitting is addicting! Well I'll let you go now. Come back again soon.

April Fools!


Well today in Geometry class my teacher put up a slide that said "Hope you're ready for an in-class quiz!" I freaked out and was like "no!!!" then the next slide said "April Fools!" :) I don't plan on fooling anyone today, but I have a feeling someone else might try to pull one on me.

well one of my friends on facebook said she was engaged... and I believed her!
