tonight

so i went to dinner with my parents and brother at souplantation. while standing in line, guess who is standing right nxt to me!!! garner! and his wife and kids. i love that man. so we went through the salad bar together, mainly talking about me. he asked me about my schedule and if i had ap classes, and i said no, and said i was too smart not to take ap. then he starts telling my mom this! the whole time im like shutup shutup! she doesnt need to hear that i should be in harder conversations! we both agreed that i didnt need to take ap! but now she is like, cant you get in still? no mom, you have to apply half way (exag.) through second semester, its too late (:D). so then they left, and went in one direction, but then seeing the way they went, i tried to go in the opposite direction. well.. it didnt work! we ended up sitting in one of those booth things that you can see over the top of because it is shaped like a hexagon (i think, not sure how many sides,) and i was staring straight at him! awkward!!!

so then we get up, and my mom insists that we go say bye! embarassing! oh well. so then i get home, and heather walks through the door. she asks if i want to go on a bikeride? i said sure, bc my parents went to a movie and there was nothing else to do. so we put the bikes in my truck, and go to the beach. so we rode on the strand, and nothing much happened, unless you count smiling at a fairly cute boy who kept waving at you, something :). on the way home we stopped at a salvation army thriftstore. i love thriftstores. i bought 3 record albums for only 1.5$! i was very excited, and my sister bought 2 nightstands for 25$! thats so cheap! then we came home.

its kind of sad. my sister is moving out in less than a year, for good, and now we are getting to be the age (again) that we are hanging out more! life is so unfair. i lost my first sister to college, and then ben. then i lose my brother to the war. now my last sister is leaving for nathan! i guess im next. that is a scary thought.

here is my mama and sis at the fruit farm
there were huge amount of tomatoes! there were two of those huge trucks of tomatoes

this is woodchuck, the guinae pig

so i just got back from visiting my sister and brother. i went with my mom, and we left yesterday and got back today. yesterday, we went to a sushi bar, for lunch. lets just say it was interesting. i like sushi, but not asian sushi, i like the watered down american sushi. later that night, when it had finally cooled down, we went into to the jacuzzi, it was all fun. this morning, we woke up, and said goodbye to ben. then we went to a farm. i saw some fruit on trees that i had never seen before- like cherries and even apples!!! i hadn't seen them, even. im a purebred city girl. so we got to pick and eat tons of peaches and blackberries and rasberries. the blackberries were HUGE. then we went to TJs, and then we went to a japanese store type place. they sold shaved ice, so my mom and mary bought two. it was vanilla icecream on bottom, and then ice, then those red beens that are kind of sweet, then more ice, and finally greent tea powder on top. poured all over it is some kind of sweet sugar or something. i wasn't brave enough to try it, so i got vanilla icecream. we sat in the grass right next to the sidewalk. then we went to a nursery and bought mary a tree. and then we came home!!!

joey

so, this is joey, our new pet. mr vander feer - the woodshop teacher at valley - gave him to us, bc hes going to idaho soon

cozzette, could not figure out why there was a tortoise under the deck

i just had to put a couple pics of cozzy in, she was so interested in him.

heres a bummer, though. i dont think my mom is going to let him come inside, bc he is so much bigger than daisy was

animals

well, so, we added another animal to our circus. a tortoise, whose name is joey. hes pretty big! if any of you saw daisy (our former tortoise that ran away) joey is about 2/ maybe 2.5 times bigger than she was. anyway, ill post pictures later
