Long time no see.....

Sorry it's been so long since i have posted last, but I've been crazy busy and i have pictures to prove it!

Chorus:

I know i look grouchy, but that's because i was humming.

This is my whole chorus.

Then there's band:


Lets pretend that you cant see the arm of my sweater.
 for some reason i cant edit that out.




Here we are playing the opposing team's fight song.

 Most people need an explanation of why our school plays the opposing teams fight song. This is because our school has good sportsmanship. ( then we turn around and play ours louder and with more energy )

After band there's birthdays:

Kara had a jell-o cake



This is one of the gifts she got.

 After Birthday's threes Homecoming!:


That day was Royalty Day, and i was not going to pass
 up the chance to wear a prom dress to school!

Dee- This was Jackie's dress

 Also there was Wacky Wednesday:

Evan got into the spirit

Then on Friday, there was the Homecoming Day Parade. That just so happened to have 45 mph winds. Think how enjoyable that was to march in the parade.

Sadly there were no pictures that were of me.

Another thing I'm doing, is taking a class at DMU. DMU stands for Des Moines University. DMU is the medical school in Des Moines (how ironic) that is DO. (doctor of osteopathic) There I am taking a career exploration class. So every other Tuesday i travel about 45 minutes south and learn about different professions in the medical field for 2 hours. It's SO much fun!

So see i've been busy!

My lethal Bible box

So, if youv'e read my blog from the begginning, you will know that i have a metal cube, made by my friend's dad.
Well, I graduated BRICK from out church and when you do that, you get a bible. I really wanted to keep my bible safe. SO I went back to my friend's dad asking if he could make me a box for it made from, you guessed it, metal.

He told me if i gave him all the measurements that he would make me one. So i got to work figuring out what i wanted the size to be and all like that. I gave him the measurements and a week later i got this-

That is my bible that i got in the middle

KIWIS!!!

The time everyone has been waiting for......
Information on my kiwis!
I finally got them from a friend who has been holding on to them for almost a month.
I am so excited!

Heres the history behind them.
I was at a friends house, Matt  and we were talking about how we love kiwis and how we wish we could have a kiwi bush/ tree/ plant. So as a joke he went online to see how much they cost. We were surprised when we found out that there is a kiwi plant that can grow up in southern Minnisota!
So, we talked about it for 3 days, and concluded to buy a set.
When we got them, they were like stubs, literally.
Since Matt was an adult, he grew them at his house, until a sudden move to Utah. :(
Not taking them, he left them at another friends house until i could pick them up.
She held on to them for about a month until tonight when i picked them up!!

This is the male

This is the female.

I was so excited!!

The biggest the kiwi fruit get is the size of a large grape, but they still taste and look like a normal kiwi on the inside!

It's a sad day in my shower........

Tonight when i was taking my shower, i realized that my favorite soap was gone. :(
Now this soap is not like Bath and Body Works, or anything like that. It's Dial. Now, don't start thinkin that I'm cheap, because i like one of the cheapest soaps out there, but this stuff smells so good! it smells like watermelon candy! Now, no, it is not named watermelon candy, its auctully called " Spring Water", but who really cares what the real name is, when it really doesn't smell like it. So now my showers aren't going to be so fun until i get some more of the watermelon candy smelling soap.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Today my mom is having her birthday.
She decided to spend her birthday and the weekend with her sisters and sister-in-law ( which still counts as a sister) and she deserved it.



This was in Texas over New Years.



HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Doesn't everyone need a little road rash?

Well yesterday, was painful.
From 8-5 was great. Volleyball practice was actually fun, classes were easy, great!
Now you are wondering what happened after 5?
Well i was coming home from volleyball practice, to get ready for marching band tonight.
I was going down a hill and saw two football players in front of me. I was hoping that they would move off to the side. No they didn't. So i went around them. Well i went off at the wrong place. I really don't remember what happened, but what i do remember is slamming my chin against the road and hearing people rushing twards me. When i got up, i realized that i was about 5 yards from where i started and about 2 feet from the road. Also, there were a bunch of people that just like showed up! I was a little shaken.
There was this lady who saw the whole thing, and invited me into her house to get cleaned up. Now since Huxley is a tiny town, i trusted her. Later, i learned that she was in college to be a nurse!
It was odd that my dad was right behind me when i went down, but he called my mom to come pick me up. Thinking that the gouge on my chin was going to need stiches, he was talking about taking me to where we were going to go. I did not want to do anything except to go home.
When i got home, my jaw was killing me.  I couldn't open it. So i layed on the counch with ice packs on both sides of my jaw and cried.
I knew i wasn't going to be going to the first night of marching band, but i didn't know about the parade i had to do today.
The later the night went on, more and more road rash and bruises were showing up.
I went to bed in pain and tired thinking that i had gone through the worst.
Nope.
This morning i woke up and my knee was aweful. my chin felt better, but stung, and my hip that had road rash on it, hurt if i moved at the waist, and my jaw was stiff.
I went to the parde and was going to march, hold my trumpet, but not play. But 5 minutes before we lined up, my wrist started to hurt, and i didnt want to hold my trumpet for a half hour. So i put it back and jsut marched.
When i got home, i took pictures of my injuries and suffered. Here they are.

This is my chin, it scabed up, but is still raw. (sorry its at a wierd angle)



This is my swollen, black, blue, purple, and road rashed knee.




This my foot that got something stabbed in it.



This is my hip that got the worst of the road rash.

So i am in alot of apin because of some stupid football players. Grrrrrrrrrrr.

It pays to be skinny!

Lately we have been having problems with our dryer. It wouldn't blow hot air.
We tried many diffrent things, but none of them worked. Including getting the wasps nest out of the vent.
So,  we got a new dryer tube, but no one could fit behind the dyer to attach it, except me!

I went behind there, detached the old one and put on the new one. Sounds easy. Right? no.

Me attaching the new one.

Kara talking to making animal noises at me through the old tube.

Mooing

Me mooing back.

Thats the space i slipped through

Thats the space i sat in. Take note- one whole tile

 is 12 by 12.

Me squished.

Still attaching.

Notice how small i am now?

All i charged for this project is $5 to go to a concert tonight at the state fair.
I saved them a whole bunch of money, and now the dyer works!
