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

adventures

so tonight i went out to see ratatouille, with ben, nathan, and paul kent, heather, nicole and christy post, jane and rachel shibley, and louisa hermann. it was really fun! we went at about 7, and had starbucks, and then went to the movie. it was so cute! everyone should go see, our whole row was laughing every 5 minutes. so then we were going to the posts, when we heard a rattling in my car. we pulled over into a parkinglot. so we popped the hood and checked the oil, and were looking at different things, but we couldnt find anything wrong with it. so we got back in and were going to drive home, when the rattling and shaking becomes worse. so we get back out and nathan starts telling me about how his car broke down once, but his was because he had a flat tire1 and we look... and i have a flat. so we call paul and ben, and they come after 10 minutes and paul has to crawl under my car, getting completely filthy on the asphalt! so he chanfes it, and it only takes about 30 minutes! whoopee (sarcasm). but no, it was a fun evening

sunday pics

so we went around the neighborhood, and took pictures and heres 5 of about 100 of them :D

recently

so sunday and yesterday were so much fun.
sunday:
well, i expected to go baby sit, and i was excited bc i hadnt seen bethany in 3 weeks. but we didnt have top babysit! so i went to their house and we went around taking pictures with her new camera. it was fun. aaron came with us and we took pictures of lemons and dancers and head surgeons (sort of). it was just really fun.

last night:
so the kents came over for dinner. well, just nathan, paul, and mr and mrs. but they are so funny! i love mr kent, and paul!!! the whole night they were just laughing and laughing!
here was a conversation with mr kent, paul, and i.
mr kent: you know, these flowers look alot like mine. (there was a vase of roses on the table)
me: oh really?
paul: yeah dad, thats cause we brought them
--- everybody laughing---
paul leans over to me and says: you know, he must be deaf, because last time we walked through here, he said the same thing, and i told him we brought them.
mr kent: really? i didnt hear you!!!


it was all just really fun, and we were all laughing really hard. they stayed until 10:45, and then they went home, and my sister took me to go get gas in my car. it was the first time i had filled it up, and i was barefoot! it was fun, it seemed very fitting somehow. you know, mary when she graduated from calvin went barefoot, and she also got married barefoot, and heather isnt going to wear any shoes, and i know im not going to be doing anything uncomfortable, which means barefoot, and on and on and on. it shows you how we really dont believe in shoes

i hate idiotic kids!!!

some idiots threw an egg at my car! luckily it hadnt dried all the way, or it would have peeled the paint off. i hate stupid teenagers!!!

books

well, if anyone is looking for a good book, i just finished 3 WEEKS WITH MY BROTHER. and it was really good. its by nicholas sparks and his brother micah. he also wrote A WALK TO REMEMBER, and THE NOTEBOOK, and alot of other famous books. its about their boyhood and a trip around the world they are taking. its really good, and yet sad too.

survey - kind of. actually, just a question

so, i was wondering. what are your favorite names? say the top two. imagine you are going to have 4 kids. yes danielle, i know you only want 2, but try to expand your imagination. :D imagine you have 2 boys, and 2 girls. what would you name them? i know you might not have thought about it before, but think now. please dont tell me you dont know. just think. think of friends and family names that you like. what would be your choice?

Julies

so i went to my job today, and i have to say, it was pretty borring. for the first 2 hours, i sat and talked to the owner, but nobody came in. so, at about 1, she left to go to home depot, and left me there. well, about 5/6 groups of people came in, in a 3 hour period of time. so there wasnt much to do. i dusted the shop, and rearranged some of the merchandise, but after that there was nothing to do. so i read for awhile, but the last hour was so borring. and hot!!! she hadnt shown me where the ac was, so the store was very warm. luckily it was untollerable, bc i am going back next week.
