A Car

The Symbol of owning a car.

OK, so I have a car now, and this means a lot. If you think about it, it means you are rich (compared to most of the world), you have a certain amount of responsibility, and your an adult-ish...
Today I spent most of the morning and afternoon detailing my car cleaning every nook and cranny, it looks like a new car on the inside now. It is a 2002 Ford Torus, it needs a little body work but it is perfect for me. In the next couple of months I will be working on getting my drivers license and registering the car. :) I am looking forward to this new chapter in my life but  am entering a nervous (as I normally do).

Nathalie Graduation

Next spring  my sisters Nathalie graduates from bob jones university, in SC. my paprents are trying to go down to see her walk and they would like to take the whole family with them, but the problem is that we have to rent a car and when you have 4-5 kids, and two adult going and 2 year worth of stuff comeing back, you need a BIG car. on top of this is a hotel room for all of the people, gas for the car, then you have to feed all of those people, (the get kind of cranky if you don't), so my mom created this thing for any one who wants to donate to the trip, kind of as a gift to Nat.

Donate to the Trip
 I have no idea how it works, but if you can get to work and you are able to donate any thing thank you.

Weekend

This weekend I went to my aunt Lauren's. We talked about some stuff I was struggling with, and both her and my uncle gave me some great advice. they helped me to see that I was stressing my self out for no real reason. ad they helped form a plan so I don't have to be stressed. How amazing are they!
  I love my aunt and uncle, they are second only to my parents :)

Also we went to the Scottish highland games, Wow I have never seen that many guys in kilts before... I had fun, I saw guys throwing big rocks, sword play, listened to bag pipes and had some Rumple thump (a potato dish) and shortbread.  :)

Rain

I LOVE RAIN!!!!

I Absolutely love rain,  ill go and just stand in it. I love the way it sounds in the woods, the way it smells after a rain storm, HMMMM I Love rain! :) This morning I woke up in a irritated mood, but upon going out side and finding out that was raining :) my day got better. I did my chores and if I didn't have school this morning I would stay out there till I was thoroughly soaked:)

I love rain!

Unknown

Unknown- that which is not known.
A source a of stress for me, I hate the unknown. I am the kind of person who when faced with a decision I will often push it on to someone else if I can. and when I'm not able to do this I try and play out every option as far as I can. I spend a good part of my day playing out how things could go, trying to figure out my future, I never get it right though, there is always a factor I didn't calculate or something completely changes it, like someone doing something completely unexpected. I wish there was a book filled of every detail of my life, and I could read the next chapter so I would know what I was supposed to do, I don't need to know six yeas from now, just which path do I take today.
       I don't think I will ever stop stressing over my decisions but I hope that someday I can not stress so much about them. I have to make them wither I want to or not...........

Growing up!

"When I grow up..." As kids we say this a lot, but I don't think we ever really understood what that meant.
This past week I had to "grow up", I got a job working in the office of an mechanics shop, I am saving for a car to drive to my job, looking into getting my license, and I got a cell phone.  All of these changes mean I am now an adult, I'm expected to act, talk and behave like an "grown up". Truth be told, I was terrified at the beginning of the week I didn't know how to do any of it! But some how by the grace of God, I was able to get through it, and now I have a little ( a very small amount of) confidence that I'm not going to screw up to terribly. Going to the week a friend told me "confidence will get you far" and that has stuck with me.
So when I am faced with the next "grown up" thing I have to accomplish I probably be jut as terrified but I will know that I got through the last one, and I will get through this one.

The Fair

This weekend was the Ledyard fair, I had a fantastic time. I ran the goat show, and hung out with friends I won't see for a while, some longer than others. We talked, laughed a lot, put little kids heads in water buckets (with their consent) and threatened them with the manure pile.
It was a great weekend, I would do it ALL again if I had the chance :)
