Events

Hey everyone!!
Here is a little update on what has been happening lately. Sorry for not posting sooner I just never got around to it. I do enjoy blogging so thank you for those gentle reminders for a new post...
I guess I will tell you guys about a recent event I attended. Joanna Van Dyken's Birthday party!!! This past Wednesday I hitched a ride with Aaron to volley ball. Where Rachel and Joanna awaited my arrival. Finally the other girls arrived. ( Emily W. Amanda K. and Kristen Z. ) Six girls in all!! We jumped on the trampoline, played a short game of soccer and just had fun. That night we enjoyed a game of hot potato and received some pretty cool party favours. ( Candyyyyyy....) Enjoying some special treats (chips, pop, candy, etc.) we talked and talked and talked a little more. ( Ever played concentration in the dark... it's a blast!!) The following morning we had pancakes, peaches, and sausages for breakfast. ( Mmmmm) We played all sorts of games. (like Go to Rome, concentration with animal sounds, trampoline games, etc.) For lunch we roasted hot dogs over a nice ,warm, toasty fire in the woods ,while being eaten alive by mosquitoes. ( Ok, so maybe it was mostly burning twigs and birch bark but... good enough) After a fun filled day, Mr V. drove me home with Amanda. ( Thanks for the ride) I dragged my tired body up two full porch steps to my door way. ( whew) Only to find 125 papers waiting inside for me to deliver them. So ya I went on my bike and delivered them all. Then collapsed in bed. ( I don't think I did anything else...)
The next morning being Friday I awoke to voices coming from downstairs. Sigh how nice it was to be finished school and be able to sleep in a little later than usual. I glanced at my alarm clock " Good, only 8:30" I thought to myself. My eyelids drooped............. EIGHT THIRTY!!!!!!!
Oh boy was I in trouble now. I had to babysit in only 30 minutes and I wasn't even out of bed yet. My body kicked into gear I jumped out of bed, pulled my covers over, found some cloths to wear, ate a bowl of cereal, quickly brushed my teeth, and away I went racing down the street like a chicken with its head cut off. Thankfully I got there on time and everything was just fine. ( The kid I babysit was a brat as usual, but hey life can't be perfect) So that day I don't think I did much. Except for babysit. Because, I also babysat some other kids from down the street for an hour. ( That reminds me I still have a check to deposit)
Saturday was David's sixth birthday. ( The first day of Summer!!!) We had pancakes for breakfast like we always do. And David got one gift that morning a remote controlled 4-wheeler. ( Re gift but it still works) Than I went with my dad in the car to go pick up the van to go pick up a lawn mower from a house Aaron had left it at. ( So dad could mow) After that Dad decided it was time the van had an oil change so we stopped by Mr. Lous garage. I vacuumed and dusted the upstairs when we got home then went back out for a dollar store birthday gift and cake.David really liked the little things he got from everyone so it turned out to be a pretty good birthday.
Well, I'm getting tired of typing now. So this is good bye for now. Hopefully I will post some pictures of something random soon. lol. Enjoy!!!

I know 8:30 is not early for somone like you who gets up at 6:30 every morning. But I was glad it was only 8:30 and I hadn't slept in to like 9:00 because then I would have been really late for babysitting. I don't get up at 9:00 anymore. I used to do that a lot , but since its summer I want to get up earlier so I will have a fresh start. Don't thik I will start getting up at 6:30 though!!!
Unless I have to go somewhere or do something I will never get up that early by myself. So I'm going to aim for 7:30/8:00 is that good enough for you?? I going to make a new post now because I have some bad news. :(

Thats okay if you get up the late. I always got up that late. But, now I am going to try to get up earlier. (no promises) Maybe once in a while if I was up late I will get up later.

Maybe someone who has seen through joanna's innocent girl disguise and someone who know what a devious girl she is. Yes one like that and someone see that you are that innocent girl and some one that you are truly attractive!!! Cause i know about a few guys who like joanna she is quite attractive and seems soo inocent but how are they supposed to know that she is not very inecent but maybe it was just a friend of yours maybe melissa.Who ever it was they probaly consider you a friend. Good for you trying to get up early maybe when we get together next week we can work on that. umm would wensday to thursday or friday work next week and are you going to invite jo.

Rachel!!You've got wacky ideas.(lol) I bet it is just someone trying to be annoying. And, I don't know where you get these ideas. But, I have commented as anonymous on other people's blogs because I didn't want them to know I checked their blog.
Umm, I thought next week would work but, I just realized that I'm not going to camp in two weeks but next week!! On July 4th. So anything we do will probably have to wait till I get back. I hope we will be able to find time this summer...
