story time!! :p

Bonjou konpè-m!!(:

Thats how you say hello to a friend in, Kwéyòl (Haiti). Or at least thats what this website told me :p so yeah!!

so went to my friend Ryans graduation/birthday/welcome home/off to Biola party(: lol it was so fun!! Our families have known each other since forever!! Well, for like 20 years now! so a looooong time! Super fun last night!!(: Thats me and ryan when we were like waaaaay little. lol they had this pic up on the wall :p i think we were at the zoo or a farm lol idk!!

Everyone, this is Abracadabra! A.K.A. Abby(: this was from the day we took her to Meghans house. sad day :/ i didnt cry though! cause i knew she was going to a great home!(: I havent gotten an update on the babies though :/ i definitely cried when we sold them! sooooooo hard to let them go.


Thats Mary Jane and Otis on there first day outside after being born so they were like 2 days old i think. MJ is the brown lil princess and Otis is the goofy white one lol they were such chacacters!! Miss them!! especially with what had happened during Abby's first pregnancy :/ heres kind of a re-cap of what went down my jr year with Abby's prego days....

So this was my first year with Abby and she was prego!! That was the whole idea, have the babies, sell them make some money and then milk here till next breeding season and make cheese/soap with the milk. Well the day comes when the babies are born. It was all really crazy and fast! both kiddos popped out within an hour of going into labor. (this was a week day so i still had school) anyways, Abbys doin good, we took the two lil kids and got them all cleaned up. She had a lil brown/black/white buck that looked just like her, his name was Sampson and then she had a lil black/white doe who looked like the daddy and her name was Delilah(: Everythin was good, kids were in the house in the pen, i was milkin abby to get the colostrum for the kids, had the pasteurizer ready to go things were goood!!! well a few days go by and we notice the kids are acring funny. they cant stand up anymore. Called the vet he came out to check on them and Abby, and gave us some meds. ($$$$$$$) another day goes by and its way worse! im a wreck. living on no sleep, no food cause i was worried sick about the babies. well after a few days of fighting to keep them alive, Sampson went to animal heaven while holding him in my arms :/ from there we started fighting to keep Delilah alive. She started improving a lil bit. I was having to give her all different shots with different meds and then iv fluids. It was so sad. but thats all we could do. then one night about 12:30am she gets worse, she cant stand she cant move her heart beat is slowing. i give her fluids then my mom and i jump in the car to take her to the vets house who lives 20 min away. we get to his house and im a complete mess. he calms me down so i can help him. we give her more fluids, warm her up, we had to poke a whole in her rumen to let some of the gas pressure out but nothing we did was enough and she went up to see her brother that night :/ probably the worst week of my entire life. never cried so much before. So when MJ and Otis were born i prepared for the worst. Abby at the time was actually carrying 3 kids but one was born dead :/ which was the first to come out so then i was freaking out thinking all of them would be dead but nope, God blessed us with 2 beautiful kiddos!! who grew up and were sold together to a nice lil family as pets(: yay!!


now on to some other stuff lol


Church was AWESOME today!!(: Chad asked some good questions that got me thinking. When he was talking about the Rocky movies and he asked, "What would you have to achieve to prove that youre not a bum?" the first thing that came to my mind was a certain weight. Which that is soooo dumb!! Sadly its true. With todays society its all about money, looks, the latest and greatest phone or computer or some other gizmo. Its stupid stuff!!! as Chad also said, "we buy things we dont need, with money we dont have to impress people we dont know." When asked what i want to achieve to prove that im not a "bum" i dont want to answer x-amount of pounds, i want an answer like, giving my life completly to God and making Him the center of my life. Thats what our answers should be like. but unfortunately thats not the case. At least not with me and i will admit that. so let me ask you, what do you want to achieve to prove that youre not a bum??? think about it!!(:

"God is not mad AT you He's mad ABOUT you!!"-Chad Moore

thats all for today(:

YO!!(:

So i found this pic from way back. Thats my goat Abby who sadly I had to give away but luckily i gave her to a friend(: quick update! She now has a best friend who is a sheep dont member his name but they are two peas in a pod and they love playing in the water(: lol anyways, as you can see in the pic, she broke into the shed one day when i let her out and knocked over the food bucket and was eating her pellets. silly goat!! :p

alrighty, so nothin really exciting happened in the past few days lol bummer!!! But, if ya didnt already notice, I havent really been myself lately. :/ A lot of crummy things have been going on lately and its just no fun! Like, for instance, my $750 scholarship from FFA that I got, i dont have it anymore. They took it away because im not enrolled in an "ag" class this semester. Well duh! cgcc doesnt have AG classes. Luckily they will hold it for me so next semester I will probably do an online class somewhere so I can get my scholarship back. bleh!! an lately, I have felt really distant from God, mainly because I was kinda mad at Him. I know He isnt doing this stuff on purpose but I needed to be mad at someone and I knew that He could handle it i guess lol but as much as i wasnt wanting to talk to Him and all that, I started to anyways and woke up this morning and felt like that big ugly rain cloud thats been over my head kinda just disappeared!(: Which is quite nice! So yea, im doing much better now!

found this pic on my phone. It was from the 2nd date day/night fundraiser we did for Honduras. They are doing that thing where you push really hard against a door frame for like a min or two then step out and your arms "fly" lol so funny :p I love Shannons face in this!

hmmm oh!! went and saw the movie The Other Guys last night with randy and angie! Oh goodness, so funny!! I was like crying from laughing in the first 5 min. An maybe it was a lot funnier because i was really tired and it was super late at night, but still, so funny!!(: loved it!!

now onto my thoughts an all that fun stuff! :p

this may be a lil weird but oh well!! I was talkin with someone a few days ago about like dying and funerals. I started thinking about my funeral and I have decided that when i go up to live with my daddy(: i dont want people down here to be all sad and blah! So i dont want a "funeral" i want it to be a party, celebrating all the good times(: also, no one is allowed to wear black. You all have to wear bright colors!! :D and I want big bright gerber daisy's all over the place. it just needs to be a happy thing even though ill be dead :p lol just sayin!!! dont worry im not planing on dying anytime soon but thats really not in my control lol :p

oh!! so i was watching Ice Age 3 with the kids i nanny for and it got me thinking, what does Diego eat? obviously he is a meat eater but you never see him eat, or go off hunting. interesting.....

thats pretty much all i got for today!(:

later!!

quotes for the day: theres like 2 lol

from the movie The Other Guys...

"Im going to climb over that anger wall of yours one day and its going to be glorious."-Allen (will Ferrell)

oh gosh so many good one liners, you just gotta see it cause i dont want to give them all away! :p

last night after the movie after we got home, i was in the bathroom, we were whisper-yelling lol....

"EM!!"-angie

"What?"-me

"COME HERE!"-angie

"Im kinda peeing right now."-me

"HURRY UP!"-angie

"Why?"-me

"THERE IS A LIZARD OUT HERE! COME GET IT"-angie

i open the door and shes stading frozen in the hallway pressed up against the wall pointing at the ground. there was a lil tiny gecko like the size pen cap, not even, and she was freakin out!! lol hilarious. so then i got it in my hands and kept shoving it in her face lol :p

To Save a Life(:

Heeeeey there!!(:

So ive been thinking lately and ive decided to change up my blog. Im gettin rid of the day by day summary stuff because, i dont think you really care what i do every day lol its not that interesting! Ill still just like update you on the important/fun/funny stuff and of course im keeping the quotes of the day(: but now im gonna talk about other stuff like things that i ponder(: or questions that i have or just stuff i would like to share(: so here we go!! Please keep all arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times until we have come to a complete stop. Thank you, and enjoy the ride!(:

So interesting stuff that has happened.....

Dont remember the day but Katelyn and I wanted to hang out so i convinced her to go to goodwill with me. She said she didnt like goodwill and that it would be boring. Yeah, definitely not when im there!! :p lol i had her trying on goofy glasses and old old OLD coats an takin pictures with me(: we had so much fun!! her parents came with us too. It was awesome!! we ended up purchasing two coats and then wearing them around the rest of the night. We went to starbucks and she was freakin out cause we knew the guy in there who was working. it was awesome(: then we walked around at freestone park for a lil bit(: so much fun!!(:

Um last night i went to a concert!!!! It was James Otto, Trace Adkins and Toby Keith!!(: It was awesome!!! This was my second time seeing James Otto and also Toby Keith. I saw both of them in Indiana when i went with FFA for our National Convention.(: Ive got to say, Toby was a lil ronchy at this show. lol it was still awesome cause i knew pretty much every song he sang but still :p Trace was probably my favorite(: James was good but i only knew one song. Trace was just plain amazing!! Love love LOVE his voice!!(: While we were there, we met up with Little Josh(: He used to live a few houses down from us. We all grew up together. Hes not little anymore but since my brother Josh was older, we called him Little Josh and that just stuck(:

And yes, i finally got to wear a cowboy hat!!! Its not even mine lol it my brother chris' but he didnt need it last night! :p I went with my brother Randy and his fiance Angie. Me and Ang were seeing who would get hit on first. She said she would but nope!!! I did sucka!! lol it was funny(: There were so many drunk people there. They were fun to watch! Guys would just walk around and grab a gal and start dancin! so funny(:

Thats all the somewhat interesting stuff i got for ya!! Now for the pondering part/sharing of my thoughts(:

So if you havent seen the movie To Save A Life you need to. Its sooooooooooo good!!! Like, i think everyone should be required to watch this movie. I dont want to ruin it for those of you who havent seen it so if you havent, skip on ahead to the next paragraph that says Next Thought finish readin my blog, go rent the movie and then come back to this part(: alrighty, so first of all the movie is soooo sad!! It makes me sick to think that this happens like every day. But its true. we go about life treating people like they arent worth it which is crap! God made us, and if they arent worth it then we are no better. Who are we to judge? Also, my favorite part in the movie is when Jake brings his girlfriend to church but she ends up leaving because she feels judged. Thats so true, i know ive felt judged at church. but thats not how it should be. Like Chris the youth pastor says, church should be a place where we can come and dont have to pretend like we've got it all together. Then after that part when Chris tells the students to think about who they have judged and they all just start whispering to each other and Jake flips on them (best part!!) He says somethin along the lines of Why bother if youre not going to let this change you? BINGO!! Ah this movie just gets me so fired up!! lol what are you thoughts????

Next thought: well this is just somethin that bugs me. Like there is so much need out there in ther world like in Africa and other countries. Children are dying every day because they dont have enough food or clean water. That is crap! No one should be dying because of that. We have so much freakin money in this world so thats not an excuse. We could easily put a stop to this right now yet for some reason we wont. why? whats wrong with us? do we not care? http://www.stopthehunger.com/ check this website out. Its pretty interesting. once again, just my thoughts(:

i think thats it for today. Oh and now that im putting in my thoughts on stuff, please dont get offened by anything that i say. Not tryin to piss anyone off lol just expressin my opinions!!(:

later!!
