Yauda, yauda

Muddy, wet, and stinky. That's what all the dogs were this morning. :P And Molly and Rosie insisted on jumping out of the pen over and over so I could put them back in. They think they are amusing.
Skye had 13 puppies last night, too! They are SOOO adorable. I will post some pics from Mrs. Wrights website, okefeildacres.com, later.
I'm working up the courage to post part of the first chapter of my book on here to hear people's opinions.... We will see. I must be crazy if I'd do that.
Well, I guess I am crazy. Most people don't know how wild I really am. At least until I'm on the soccer field or playing volley ball, lol!
But I do like alot of things most people think are BORING. I don't think ANYTHING is boring. Anything can be thrilling. Just ask Anne of Green Gables. That's the way I like to live.
I drew a picture last night that I am actually happy with! I am really excited. I don't usually like my own drawings... It's still not as realistic as I would like, but it is ....close......
I'm liking being a little bit normal again. I can dance around the house without my muscles protesting anymore! Saturday I sang while cleaning the house because my family was at SHEM and I house sat for the Wrights since Skye was so close to having her pups. I got home an hour before they did and had fun getting everything clean for them.
Then we had my "family" grad party. (Which included more ice cream). What is your favorite kind of ice cream? Mine is raspberry. And I mean REAL raspberry. Which you can't find anywhere and I haven't had in three years. My second is chocolate. I make do with that.
Then we watched Wall-E. It is a delightfully sweet movie.

Isn't he cute? (Yes, I will say that about electronic robots.)

And I went to the first walk through for my new job. It is going to be VERY neat.
Uggg, This is not very interesting, but oh well. I'm ready to get off.

The beauty of God's World

Wowzers!!! Here are some awesome pics I found that I just HAD to share with you all!!

The three great pyramids of Gaza.





Just cool.

Wow, are the Northern Lights osm!

:D

Ok, this one's just for laughs. (But what is life without laughter, eh?)

Daisies make me smile.

This is neat!

I want to do that!!!!!

If only I had a yard like this.

Bottlenose dolphins leaping off the coast of Roatan Island, Honduras. Aren't they gorgeous!

Deer friends on Love Meow.

Tillamook, Or. I have been here!!!

This one is for Rachel. I saw it, and thought of you!!! Isn't it COOL!

Hope you like them all!! <3

Pointless.

That's what this blog post is.

Life!!!!!!!!

And the day begins!!! In a few moments I'm off to "work". When I come home, the wildness of my next weekend will begin. First, we are going to load up our vehicle. We have to transport a harp and tuba into town today. THAT will be fun...
We are going to the first day of the SHEM convention. I am accompanying a friend in the talent show and the graduation practice is tonight. Yes, you've all heard it and you're going to hear it again. I GRADUATED last year, but I'm walking this year.
Then some of the orchestra's are going to play. I wish the choir would sing tonight, because tomorrow I won't be able to be with them tomorrow.... :(
That's one of the down sides of walking.
I am sooooo happy about this weather! I hope it will stick around this time. It has dashed my hopes enough this spring.
And I also can't wait to see all of my friends tonight! That is going to be splendid!

Here is a random picture of me and my dog.

Passports, thumbs, chicks, and pics...

Today we got all of five of our passport paperwork filed and mailed!!!!!! I am so excited! That means, hopefully, we will be able to go to Canada next year. My picture is AWFUL because I am not photogenic and I didn't go my hair today but threw it back in a ponytail because I sliced my thumb to the bone at work this morning. This is definitely not my month, lol!
What is really cool though is Thadden will probably be flying out this year to labor on my grandparents farm as work experience, but getting the passports is too expensive for us all to go out this year as well. I am just a tiny-winy bit jealous. Ok, I am a lot jealous. Next year will probably be my last year getting to go to Canada with my family too.......
Thadden is going to become a vet. He is going to College of the Ozarks for his pre-vet degree. Then he is going to transfer to the best school he can afford. (We don't know what right now.)
And something else exciting happened today! Our baby chicks, who have been hiding a day longer than they were supposed to, started hatching today!!!! They are so adorable. But the incubator has been a bit too dry and so half of them are REALLY ugly! :-(

This one is black and white. And cute.

It likes to snuggle!!!

All the rest of the ugly ducklings... There are more in the incubator still.

Today Thadden had me begin taking his senior pictures too! That was fun. Unfortunately, the camera was kind of muggy in the half-light of twilight, so we're going to take more tomorrow. Here are a few I like.

He looks REALLY good when he laughs!

This is what he likes to look like. :D

This is what he looks like best.

Gotta go now... so have a good night all of you!!!

Ok, strike the whole normal thing...

So I thought....it might perhaps be a regular Friday for me yesterday. Yea, that went far. Aside from the fact that at the moment I could sing the bass line and I am a 1st soprano, Bel Canto went wonderful! Then came my fateful hour. I was naively bounding down the stairs in my few free minutes between classes, little knowing that my brand new flip flops were deviously plotting my ruin. There was a slip, and then a slid, and there I lay, sprawled upon the stairs. The railing is my very best friend, because had I not been able to grab it, I would have landed on my nose at the bottom landing.
Let's just say my bruises are rather ostentatious, and there are a lot of them.
Ok, this sounds very childish but I'm going to post it anyway because I don't want to write it out again.

This was our choir on picture day. Not one of the professional shots, but a picture nonetheless.

On a better note, this is a beautiful day!!! We went to C of O with our Grandma who is visiting from Oregon, and discovered a REALLY cool picturesque place down by the mill. Then we learned the mill was a museum of sorts, and had lots of fun exploring it. We saw two duck mother's with a litany of ducklings trailing behind them and a swan sitting on her eggs. There were also four greenhouses filled with stunning flowers and foliage that we were able to browse through. They even had lemon, orange, tangerine, and lime trees with FRUIT on them! Now I want to learn how to grow the trees to  get the fruit to actually produce myself. When we came home, after *lupper*, I went outside and sat with my dog Treasure and cat Alendil for three hours and soaked up the sun and prayed. It was wonderful. Once I am all better, this summer is going to be one of the best ones I have ever been alive for!!!!

Hurrah!!

Ok, all I can say is I am so excited that tomorrow is Friday! And a normal Friday too!!! <3
