quilt house

I just remembered... on our way to the reservation we saw this old gas station (out of service) covered in quilts. I went back and took some pictures at night but they didn't turn out too well... so I will put more pictures up when I have better lighting of the whole thing. But here are some pictures of the gas pumps.








picnic pictures

Here are some pictures of where we went. I ran out of batteries in the camera so I only managed to take a couple of pictures. There was a lake and a bunch of trails. We followed the "Cliff Trail" most of the time. But anyways, here are some pictures of Seth during the first part of the hike. (And one of the last trail we went on.) It probably looks spectacular in the summer and fall.

opportunity and risk

You know, Risk is a pretty fun game if you know how to win.

I asked my dad yesterday what his strategy was... and now I've been winning the game more than losing. There's more to his strategy than he told me, though. He said this morning that it should be called "Opportunity and Risk" rather than just "Risk". But I guess I just have to mold the basic strategy to my own personality and do what works for me. It's just a board game... hahaha.

Today is my first day of Spring Break and I'm planning on going on a picnic with one of my best friends, Seth Hunter. I'll try and bring a camera to take pictures of wherever we go... it will probably be a really beautiful place and it's going to be a little bit of a hike too. I'm not really sure. It was my idea to go have a picnic somewhere but he gets to pick where we go since he's the one who has lived here for his whole life.

Either way I will take pictures and put them up somewhere on here.

Time to go eat breakfast.

work, school, and ball

I decided that it would take way too long to try and explain everything that has been going on in my life for the past couple of however long it has been since we all last saw each other. So I'm just going to write about what has been going on recently.

So... I got a job at Panera Bread a couple of weeks ago. I requested Mondays, Wednesdays and Sundays off, and so far that agreement has been honored. I really like working there. Everyone is really nice and fun, and I get to take home free food at the end of the day. If I want to buy stuff during my shift for break I get 65% off which is not bad at all.

School has been going okay. I think I'm getting senioritis... or I've had it for the past like... four years... I don't know. But it's getting harder and harder to be motivated in school. I'm still getting pretty good grades but the grades just aren't mattering as much as they used to.

Speaking of school, this girl from the New Vision program named Shannon has been trying to get me to go to Senior Ball for the past like... month. I've kept sort of fluctuating between whether or not I wanted to go and she keeps getting really excited or really disappointed... depending on what I tell her. But I finally got a pattern for a dress, the fabric, and all the stuff to make it with... and my mom's committment to make it for me. Not to mention booking an appointment for an updo and whatever. So now I have to go. Shannon will be happy. :P

a first for everything

This is me following in the footsteps of Luanna. Haha I suppose it will just be a summary of my life and whatnot. Enjoy. Or don't. Whichever you'd prefer.
