I don’t update this near as much as I’d like too… Oh well!
I’ve been so extremely busy lately, I don’t even remember all I’ve done. J Since Monday I’ve longged in almost 8 hrs of babysitting my brothers, and that amount is on the rise as I speak. J
Jonathan & Jordan both have colds. I am praying soooo hard that I don’t catch it too ~ I hate colds! Jordan isn’t very sick, he’s coughing & has a runny nose, but is acting normal. Jonathan on the other hand is really sick. He’s been laying around crying for most of the day, and keeps saying that he needs to go to the Dr’s. J He didn’t sleep much last night either.
Right now we’re getting a new roof. Our house needed one, so we decided to go for metal. I wonder how that’ll sound next time is hails! J This is their 3rd day working on it, and they’re almost done. I’m not crazy about it, but I guess once I get used to the new look it’ll be fine.
Saturday was a lot of fun at our teen thing. J It was really hot & humid out, but we spent a good 3 ½ hrs outside. We played volleyball, but our pastor didn’t have a normal one, so we started out with this gigantic blow-up one that was totally huge! JNeedless to say, that was interesting…. J Then we played with this other weird ball too… J We had devotions, songs & ice cream as well. I got a little sunburned from it, but not as badly as I expected. I sunburn pretty easily…
Last Friday was a lot of fun. I went to the nursing home and from there went straight to Burkhards where I had dinner & then later we played baseball. Before going to the nursing home we went through our whole routine at church. I really enjoy going to the nursing home. Up till a couple years ago I actually used to be kind of scared of really old people. J Playing there has definetely help me over come that! When we got back to Burckhards, they asked me if I could watch Becca (8) & Megan (9) for a little while while they ran to store. While they were gone & the girls went off to play, so I parked myself at their piano. J I tallied it all up & figured out I played 5 different pianos that day! J That helped me a lot b/c I’m one of those people that had trouble adapting to a different piano… just they way it sits or sounds different that mine will mess me up. So I’m thankful that I got to play so many, because I think it really helped me. J Baseball was a lot of fun that night. I still need work on hitting the ball, but at least I did better than the first time. I hit it 3 times and even got a home run. J
Last Thursday night we went to see the Doerfels. That was a lot of fun too! They used to live in Springville (20 min away) until last year when they moved in a bus to travel around the country. The family plays & sings bluegrass music. The music was great as always and my little brothers loved it! The really love bluegrass and turn pots & pans into guitars, banjos & the bass. J So I figured that they would enjoy this too… I was hoping to get a chance to talk to Kim for a little bit since I hadn’t seen her in a year, but I didn’t really get to b/c she was busy and we had to leave. L
This Sunday I’m doing the nursery during SS and then that night I have special music. I’m playing “I’d rather have Jesus”. I love that song! The music is pretty, but the words are really good & true too. So I better not catch that cold!! J
Things are warming up here again. The past few days have been pretty bearable, but now the temps are nearing 90 again and the humidity is going back up. L I’m not at all crazy about humidity!
Oh, I almost forgot to tell you about out mall adventure! J Last Tuesday we finally got a babysitter ( a very rare accourance), and my mom & I got to go out together for the first time in ages!! We went to the Olean mall & were in the middle of JcPenny, when all of a sudden the power went out & it just went pitch black in there! It was so dark you couldn’t even see your hand in front of your face! It only lasted about 30 seconds, but that felt like an eternity! Finally the genorator lights kicked on, but it wasn’t very bright at all. I had never had the power go off in my life while I was in a store. Anyways, the cash registers don’t work when there is a power outage, so they closed down the mall. The people that were in there could stay in, but no one else was aloud in. It was about 10:30 am and they got a report that the power might not go back on till 4 pm! We were like dying b/c we finally got to go somewhere, and now we weren’t even going to be able to get what we were gonna buy! We decided to try & wait it out a little bit. I had to go to the bathroom & the toilets flushed, but the sinks didn’t work. :p Yuck! Anyways, thankfully like 40 min later the power came back on. J It took forever for all the computers to load up again and everything though. We did still end up having a great trip. I got a really nice skirt @ JcPenny that was $36 marked down to $2.97!! I LIVE on clearance racks! J They’re the best things ever invented. J We went to Applebees for lunch & Friendly’s for desert, and then we went to JoAnne fabrics where I was able to get some nice scrapbook stuff… on clearance of course! J
I can NOT believe it’s July 16th already. Can someone tell me where this summer is going? School is going to be here again before I can blink. I think it’ll be a little more bearable this year knowing that every day is a day closer to graduating! I’ve never been crazy about school….
I still have 2 more articles to get in for the Prairie Blossom Gazette before Tuesday! Yikes. I’ve started them both, but I need to finish them & they still have a lot of finishing to do. I think I’ll make it though! I’m a deadline worker for some odd reason… I’ll go braindead until it’s almost deadline then suddenly my brain works. Go figure!
I am so excited because on August 11th the Erie county fair is having a nascar driver appearance. They have one every year, so yesterday I looked up who they're having & this year they're having Kasey Kahne! I am like so ultra excited because he's my 2nd favorite driver! :) My dad said he'll take me, so I am really looking forward to it! :) He'll be there signing autographs for everyone & I'm hoping I can get my picture taken with him too. I seen him last August at Watkins Glen, he road by in a golf cart like 6 ft away from me, but that's not the same as meeting him. :p
