Basketball Camp!

2005-08-22T10:31:00.000-07:00

I went up to round lake christian assembley for a week of basketball camp on August 14th and I was there through the 20th! It was so much fun! The first three days was the girls week so I was a camper! We played b-ball all the time and when we weren't we were either eatting, sleeping, or worshiping God! We had a 3 on 3 tournment and my team made up to the 4th round! I had a little better luck in 5 0n 5 though. My team was undefeated and we were the champions! I think thoses 3 days were better than any other week I had been to at round lake! Anyway... my dad was the dean so my mom and I stayed with him for the boys week! That was a blast too! My frined Liz was at the camps becasue she was in the band (she is an awesome durm player) so we hung out while the boys were there! We met like 10 guys that we hung out with! They were really nice (and hott)!!!!! Over all the week was great! (oh yea, my aunt and cousins came to visit too! that was fun)

(I'll post the pictures when I get them downloaed and all that!)

My First Horse Show!

I had my first horse show this summer with the horse I leased Sahara! It was a blst! Joyce went with me and was my personal photographer! (Thanks Joycie) The show was at Diamond C Arena (the old rolling arcers). Here are the pictures:

Here she is as I was gathering all of my saddles, brdiles, and other stuff!

It took awhile for us to get our stuff together, and Sahara was starting to get bored and hungry so I had to give her a little treat!

Here I am in one of my english classes!

I WON!!!!

We had a fun time! We also learned alot!

How Fast is Fast Food?

In Sunbury we don't have to many restraunts that are very fast. We do have a Wendy's that isn't too slow, but itsn't like Westerville's fast food. So when we herd they were building a Mc Donald's we were all excited! Well on July 4th after the prade we decied to try out the new Mc Donald's, well like most of our other restraunts in Sunbury it is slow! We only ordered for 3 people and it took about 7 minutes! So if you have any fuuny, or slow restrant stories go ahead and share them!

She's Having A Foal!

Last Summer I leased a horse named Star. She was great. I would ride in a lesson with her once a week and since we were leasing we were responsible for her and her stall. So even though I didn't like cleaning her stall it had to be done. Anyway... when I cleaned her stall I would ride too, so I was riding a lot. Well her owner (and my instructor) bred her. I was so excited! The vet came and said everything was healthy, so everyone was glad. After about 2 months of her being pregant we found out she had a disease which was E.P.M. which is very common and can be cured. So she was on medicince and everyday we had to go out and walk her around. The pregnacy went on and she was getting better. So when it came close to birth we moved her to a barn closer to Dana's house (my instructor and Star's owner). My friends and I would go and spend the night in the barn with Dana with a T.V. monitor that showed her stall. So we would wake up about every hour and look to see if she was in labor. Then around 5:45 each morning we would wake up and get ready for school or in Dana's case work. I spend about 2 weeks in the barn and on the last day we were there she went into labor after we left. The baby was fine and so was she. Sadly exactly a month after the foal was born we had to put Star down. But it was better for her so she wasn't surfering anymore, because her last week she had gotten a cut and was sick. The baby which was a colt (boy) is fine and growing big. He got a good month of food from Star and is now on milk replacing pellets to get all his nutrients. His registered name is Star's Last Bet but we call him Harley. He is doing good and will be 4 months old on June 22nd.

What If....

Have you ever thought about something that has never happened? I think about stuff while I'm in the shower, riding in the car (I don't drive so I just ride) or tring to fall asleep. The other day I was outside wtith my friend Ally and all of a sudden the torando siren went off, my first reaction, being the worry wart I am was to go inside. Instead I asked Ally what was going on, she said it was just a drill and reminded me it was Wedseday at noon. So we continued what we were doing and I started thinking. What if there really was a torando at noon on Wedseday?! Well I'm still not sure what would happen but if you have any ideas about what you think would happen please tell me or if you have any "what if" questions tell me those too.
