Fall is coming soon

Already. Okay, I'm not complaining, I just am not ready to start school yet. And I only have a week of summer vacation left. =( *sigh* I have no idea how school is going to get done with a horse, though. It will be interesting.

Angel is doing great. She has been absolutely wonderful so far. I am hopefully helping her stifle injury as I ride her every other day. She seems to be doing the same, so far, though. We'll have to see. =\

I think we found a church where we live and I really like it. The people are so nice and no one cares what you wear or look like. They care about God they care about whether you know Him or not. It's really refreshing to be in a church like that. =)

Well, fall IS my favorite season, so I guess I can't complain too much. I love the leaves in the fall, and I love the temperatures. I also love the fact that the weather is perfect for making homemade bread. It's too hot in the summer to make bread. Oh, and the temperatures get down just low enough in the mornings and evenings to make hot cider or hot chocolate or something like that. And this fall, I have a horse that I can spend time with...fall is the best season for riding, too. The weather is not too hot and not too cold, and the horses are in really good moods. =)

I can't believe this is my senior year in high school. That's a little freaky. I have college plans, though. I'm just not all that excited about leaving my horse...trying not to think about that right now...
After fall of course, comes Christmas, so here's another countdown. =D

139 days, 7 hours, and 2 minutes until Christmas Eve...

Yay

Welll....school is done for the year. That makes me happy. My bedroom is clean. One of my friends is having a good day (And I have a suspicion the other one is, too). It is absolutely gorgeous outside. God is alive and working (which is the best part!) . The dogs are okay. Most everyone I know is relatively healthy. My bathroom is clean....


Ahhh.....



Does anyone else think summer break is good? ;)


And the (second) best part about it all is that I am getting up early tomorrow (On first day of summer break! =P ) and I'm going to spend the whole day at the barn.


If this is what summer break is like...I'm never going back to school. =D

Brain washed

Washed out. I can't seem to stop memories coming.

Even though the rain has stopped for now, my brain is flooded.

I've decided "dance" and "rain" may go together, but "horses" and "rain" don't mix at all. =( Hopefully I'll get to go riding soon. I'm looking forward to helping out at the farm with a preschool group that is coming out. I can't wait!

I made cookies yesterday, and I'm almost done with 10th grade. =)

I dunno. This is a brain dead (err...flooded) and incoherent post. =\

Wow.

Ya know, I complain a lot. About the number of readers (ahem, commenters) on my blog, my schoolwork, my family, my friends, my lack of permit/license, things I have, things I don't...the list goes on.

I am just thinking about how blessed I really am. To have all of the readers I do. To be able to do schoolwork. To have a family. To have even the one or two friends that I do...I just can't seem to get it right. I'm always complaining, but in reality, I'm a lot more blessed that I think I am. There are so many people out there that don't have money for food, don't have families, don't have the "necessities" of life. Many of them don't even have God. How can I miss so much? How can I miss the "little things"? The little "blessings in disguise"?



All I have to say is wow.

I truly am blessed.

Thanks, God for everything. Thanks for sending your Son to die for me. Thanks so much God for blessing me with family, friends, and everything. Thanks for horses. Thanks for letting me ride as much as I do. Thanks for all the "little things". Thanks for who You are. You are so good to me.


(I apologize for the "preachy-ness" of this post)


(Okay, you know what? Forget that last sentence in parentheses. I don't apologize)

Thanksgiving Break

Well, today was the last day of school for about a week. I don't have school next week because we have a house to clean and lots of cooking and baking to do and lots of guests coming. I'm gonna get to see my niece and nephew! I miss Piper. I don't get to see her very much, but I miss her anyway. I wonder if she thinks I'm a good aunt or a terrible aunt. =\ I guess she probably hasn't thought about it much. I haven't had much chance to be an aunt. Anyway, I'm off school for a week and have lots of baking and cleaning and TONS of extra praying to do. So anyway, maybe I'll get to go riding one more time before Christmas. I dunno. My Mom's not for the idea, so I guess I'll have to see. I miss Delaney soooo much! I want to visit her soon. Maybe between Christmas and Thanksgiving? Oh, well. I guess I'm talking about nothing again. I'll probably post some recipes this week.

Eagh.

I'm feeling nasty today. I want to do some baking or something, but I am feeling pretty sick. So I'm going to try to do some schoolwork and maybe do something else later.

School

I've decided to start concentrating on school. I have been thinking about being a veterinarian and some of the places I've looked at for information about it, tell you to get the highest form of Math and Science available to you. I think they said English, too. I've been doing a really bad job at Algebra lately, though. I hope I can bring my grades up more. I've always loved Science, but I don't remember getting an exceptional grades in that either. I also read somewhere that only 30 percent of students applying to schools get accepted! I'm not sure that this is true, but that's what I've heard. I'm not sure I would make it in. But I'm sure I won't make it in if I don't even try! I don't know what college I'm looking at yet, but I would like to find a Christian veterinary college if I can. I don't know if they have such schools, but I plan on looking. I'm thinking about Bob Jones for pre-veterinary med. It requires a high school education and somewhere from 2-4 years of undergraduate school to get into a college of veterinary medicine. That's a lot of schoolwork. A lot of studying. Wow. But I'm gonna try at least. I don't even know if this is what God has in mind for me, but I think He would want me to try. Anyway, that's all I've got to post for now.

Internet down...

Well, my internet is down(hopefully temporarily), so I won't be able to do much for a while. I don't know when it will be fixed, but for now, I'm using my Dad's computer. I also STINK at Algebra. I can't get it for anything. Umm...cleaning today. My Mom organized the kitchen and I need to clean up my stuff, too. I did have a blast on Friday riding, but I'm afraid I only got two pics(which are actually really good), and I can't put them up until my computer is working again. I met someone I've talked to for a couple of years on Saturday. I've been emailing and talking to her on AIM. I met her at Liberty(she was visiting). That was pretty fun.

Then I went out and got an awesome PUMPKIN SPICE FRAPPUCCINO!


That was sooooooooooooo good!

Nothing else is really going on except school.

Let's see...

I have done school and now I'm off to do chores. I'm getting into writing again. I can't wait to write the next part. But it's going to have to wait... Sigh...

Well, school tomorrow...

So I need to get to bed early. I'm afraid I haven't been on a good schedule for school for the past two weeks. We had a vacation for Labor day, and I haven't gotten back to my schedule all week. I need to get back on it.

Well, I'm done with school...

Today is Friday. Just for the record, I like Fridays. I need to plan something for dinner as I have asked my Mom if I can cook dinner on Mondays and Fridays. I'm not sure what I will do yet. We may go to Goodwill today, because we didn't go yesterday. I may look for some skirts. Other than that, there's not really anything going on....

Math isn't so bad...today...

Well, I took an algebra test today. I got two of twelve wrong. That's more than 50 percent for all you not-so-math-whizzes. I'm very pleased.

Help!

Okay, if anyone can give me advice on what to do, please do so. I am doing horribly in my math. I cannot seem to get any more than 50 percent correct. I've been working with my Dad on it, and he says I know how to do it, I just miss the signs or do one thing and then change to another. I am really trying, but I can't get any better! Please give me some advice...

Slow day...

So today was pretty slow. I got up late and had a very slow breakfast and finally a shower. Then we went out to look at modular houses. I loved a couple of the kitchens they had. They were really nice. So anyway, yeah, the first week of school was pretty good. It wasn't horrible. Biology was pretty fun. Math was Math(uughh!). History wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Anyways, that was today.

First day of school...

Well, today was the first day of school. So far it's been okay. I love Family Life. I like Literature, I love, love, love Biology, Math's not so great, but hey, it's not that hard...Spanish was only introductory, so I dunno if I like it or not...Everything else didn't really make an impact. But it was a relatively good day today. I got up on time and went walking on the treadmill and got breakfast and started school. After school, I played with the dogs and I made chicken and potatoes and vegetables for dinner and Mom didn't have to do anything. I asked Mom if I could do meals twice a week on Mondays and Fridays. So that was my day. Oh, and the dogs got bathed and brushed. That's a big accomplishment with four dogs.
