Life has been crazy, nuts, amazing, scary, awful, and wonderful… all at the same time. I am in love with the most amazing man in the world, and he’s in love with me… We just get closer and closer. It’s so absolutely amazing… gosh I love travis. We’ve definitely had ups and downs, but I know that we’re always going to be okay. I am going to marry him someday. There is not a doubt in my mind… or apparently in his, for that matter. I am looking for a new horse; a gaited horse this time. We have four lined up to look at when we get back from Blue Ridge(ranging in prices from 15k to 40k)… Mickey and I showed at Lexington, though we didn’t ribbon we got 5 ties(a 7th, three 9ths, and a 10th). He’s for sale… To see some pics from us at Lexington, go to http://www.saddlebredweb.com/lex05/lx124/index.html - We’re #73(he’s chestnut and I’m wearing a middle colored blue jacket). A lot has been happening in my life… including my spiritual life too. I’ve gotten a lot closer to God… it’s really incredible. Gosh, it’s SO AMAZING! I turn 16 in just a couple weeks… I can’t wait. Anyways, update more later. |

I went to his softball game again tonight. They won- 8 to 7. It was an awesome game. After going to Tuesday's game too(where I actually paid attention)- I understood the game and cheered at the right moments! It was a really good game though. Me, Manda, Trisha, and Jen sat together and cheered for Travis and Lee. So then Travis and I stood out by the cars at the park and held hands and talked to Lee and Jen- and Travis kept putting his arm around me and grabbing my farthest belt loop with his thumb and just standing there. Then we all went out to eat(at the SAME place we have eaten at three times this week. Yeah, I have been with them ALOT- the only day I have not spent time with travis was monday. And that was because he didn't get off work until 10pm). When we got to the restraunt, Lee and Jen hadn't gotten there yet. So Travis and i go in and sit down and just start talking. And he puts his HAND ON MY THIGH. And leaves it there. On my thigh. Oh my goodness I about croaked. I kinda inconspicuously took his hand in my hand and turned it where the back of MY hand was lying on my thigh, and his hand was just on MY hand. So yeah we sat that way and just talked until Lee and Jen got there. So then we ordered and Mr Shelton came and ate with us. After we both got done eating and we were waitin for Dustin to show up, Travis took my hand under the table and laced both his hands through my fingers and just stroked my fingers. Oh my, I was like "Oooooh yeah-" lol. So then we went out to car and sat and talked together in the car(him still holding my hand). And then we went to Walmart and just sat in the parking lot. He kept kissing my hand. We talked alot too during this time. And then his mom called and he handed me the phone to answer it- and then he talked to her for awhile(she's at a shoot somewhere...). And then he talked to me about how this guy was in his car today and saw the picture of me(from the horse show- I took a picture of me with a John Deere Tractor and gave it to Travis at his request)- and was like "Oh wow she's hot- how old is she?"(this guy's like 30)- and Travis goes "She's fifteen." And the guy goes, "OOOH, wow, she's too young to be hot." And then Travis tells me, "But you're not too young to be hot. Because you are hot." So then the others showed up and we got out of the car. And Travis stood behind me and wrapped his arms around my stomach(this is becoming like a favorite standing position of his I think)- And he kept kissing me on the cheek and the neck. And we stood there and talked for like... forever. And then we went(hand in hand)into Walmart and just walked around. And there were these like 10 ULTRA hot guys(including Kara's boyfriend) behind us. Jen goes, "OOOOH Regena, too bad you're taken because there are some major hotties behind us checking us out!" And I started to look, but Travis grabbed my arm before I could- and he kept saying, "Don't you dare look." LOL- he's cute when he is jealous. OH GOSH I HAVE TO GO- Dad is yelling at me to go to bed- I will finish this tomorrow.
...and now he is asking me how I prefer to kiss... like just lips or french. Oh, Lord, help me; I am not ready for this. I am in so WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY OVER MY HEAD. |

| |  SHE HAD HER FOAL! | ] |
SUZY HAD HER BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABY!!! Lookie how absolutely ADORABLE HE IS!!!!
All week last week we had been calling and calling the many people who were constantly checking on Suzy, but no foal. We arrived home from J.D. Massey at 4:10pm today and we were unpacking when we got a call from Sharon(my trainer's wife). One of the mares(we didn't know which one) was down having her baby, but no one was at the barn except for the concerned neighbor who saw her go down- Gab and Sharon were still on the way home from Massey. So we tore out of the house like crazy people and got to the barn and saw that it was Suzy on the ground. When we got close, we saw the foal. It was almost totally out, with only a bit of its back legs still to come. The head was out of the sack, and this adorable little dark head with a star was looking around. We just let them alone and watched, and after a few minutes- he was totally here! We got to see him take his very first steps! Both Suzy and the colt are doing good; the vet came out about an hour later to check on them and he said they were both doing quite well. I've uploaded a couple photos of him, see them at http://community.webshots.com/album/330294954KkmGjz (I'll take more tomorrow and upload them then).
We think he'll be a dark liver chestnut like Suzy, with a star. He is an absolute DOLL! We're all tickled to death with him... and I was all prepared to spend this week doing foal watch! Suzy only went 4 days over her due date... I'm absolutely THRILLED with him! And not only is he healthy- but he's BEAUTIFUL and TALENTED too! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYS!
So, anyways... lol, I'm excited. We spent like 4 hours over there this afternoon after he was born. It was SOOOO neat though. I didn't actually get to see him being born, but I saw him right after birth- and he WAS still kinda coming out. Suzy's got a bit of afterbirth still left in her, so the vet gave her a shot and tied a towel to the bit that was hanging out(it looks nasty). ...Back to life though. I didn't ribbon in my qualifier at J.D. Massey with Mickey, but we got 4th in our championship(in a big class of OSM horses!!!)- So I was happy. Last Tuesday was a great day too, Travis and I talked alot and flirted more than ever before. Not to mention I got 100% on my research paper, and my presentation went really well too. I'll update more later, but my dad wants me to shut this thing down and go to bed. I'm sooo happy though about Suzy's baby! YAYYAYYAYYAY! |

Going to church this morning made me feel alot better about things tho... one of our sunday school leaders was like, "Girls[me and steph], you guys just KEEP on getting skinnier! And I just keep getting wider!"- and then she proceeded to talk to one of the other leaders about how skinny we were getting... I was thinking, 'Okay... first of all, was I THAT fat?! And secondly, I'm NOT losing weight... at least, not that I know of-' LoL, but I was just like, "Awww, that's so sweet- thank you." I mean, what do you say?! I never know the proper response when all the little old ladies(or really ANY of the ladies) are like- "You are so beautiful! I can remember...[where they tell me some odd story about my little-girl years]- OR, my personal favorite- "You girls are just growing up!" Uh, duh- and YOU'RE GROWING OLD! LOL- I'm not rude or anything, but it's just weird... when time passes, generally people grow up. It's just the way things work. I <3333 THIS SONG-
Somebody's gonna give you
A lesson in leavin'
Somebody's gonna give you back
What you've been givin'
And I hope that I'm around
To watch 'em knock you down
It's like you to love 'em and leave 'em
Just like you loved me and left me
It's like you to do that sort of thing
Over and over again
You're a fool-hearted man
I hear you've been askin' about me
From some of my friends
Well, you'd better believe
I'm not goin' through that again
You're the kind of man
A woman thinks she can change
Oh, but the only thing changin'
Is my way of thinkin'
And I'm thinkin' that maybe someday
Somebody's gonna give you
A lesson in losin'
Somebody's gonna do to you
What you've been doin'
And I hope that I'm around
To watch 'em knock you down
Somebody's gonna give you
A lesson in hurtin'
Somebody's gonna leave you
With your fire burnin'
And no way to put it out
Baby, there ain't no doubt
You're a fool-hearted man
Yeah, you're the kind of man
A woman thinks she can change
But the only thing changin'
Is my way of thinkin'
And I'm thinkin' that maybe someday
Somebody's gonna give you
A lesson in leavin'
Somebody's gonna give you back
What you've been givin'
And I hope that I'm around
To watch 'em knock you down
It's like you to love 'em and leave 'em
Just like you loved me and left me
It's like you to do that sort of thing

Life happens. So deal with it...patiently-
That's what I keep telling myself. PATIENCE. PATIENCE. PATIENCE. Sometimes I want my dreams to happen so badly I forget to stop and smell the roses of my life. I head straight for a goal, often not pausing to consider the amazing journey that I'm on... Somedays I think think that if people just tried to stop and smell their own life's roses more often, we wouldn't be in a world full of arrogant and self-absorbed people who want nothing less than to achieve their goals. Life sometimes suprises me though, by giving me exactly my goal... way before I expect it. But other times, it just enjoys dangeling my goal in front of me, like a string in front of a cat; suddenly jerking it away. I know this probley doesn't make any sense, but I'm tired and feeling like writing something with a slight bit of depth... but that's over now.
Anyways, back to my life(that is really not philisophical in the least...). Today was a great day. One of the best days I've had in awhile. Stephie had Sarah spend the night last night, which put me in a good mood(Sarah's my favorite of stephie's friends, lol). So I got up in a good mood(despite my period having started yesterday) and was actually ready EARLY! I drove(yes, I drove) us to CHIMES- where I went to Government first... ewie. Probley my worst class of the day, actually. I was the last student to walk in, but of course the chair next to Caleb was open(as usual, since I usually end up sitting there). Not that that made it bad or anything, he's a neat guy to talk to. But anyways, government ended and while Ms Miller worked through our rough-drafts of our research papers with us individually- I talked to Caleb. And talked. And talked. I feel so beyond awful that he likes me... I feel like I was a tease, and I kinda led him to liking me(see, when I was really desperate for a date to prom... I kinda flirted, alot, with several guys. Caleb the most... oopsies). Apparently Ms. Miller liked my paper. Sure, there were several small corrections on each page- along with a mistake or two that I made(like not underlining/italisizing (or however you spell it) the book names). But she thought it was "Very, very good. Excellent." MWAHAHA, I was so happy. Now all I gotta do is put the finishing touches on it, set up my research information in a folder, and hand that baby in! Then we went to health(Caleb kinda walked me there... I didn't really realize how much taller than me he was 'til then). Health was neat... my goodness, when Travis walked through the door I was all like, 'Oh my gosh you're so freaking hot...' - Course, I never woulda said that, but it's what I was thinkin! So after class we all went out to lunch(but because Travis had gone to Walmart, he wasn't there to sit by me... so he ended up sitting at the other table with Tyler and Elisha. Danggit)- but I sat with Jen, Rachel, 'Manda, Trisha, Sarah, and Stephie... so it was okay. Then in Chemistry, we had our review game- which was halariously fun. It was probley the most fun Chemistry class ever. As a joke, Mrs Shelton(who was doing the 'questioning') goes "1+1 is....?" We all sat there for a minute, then Travis and I JUMP UP at the same time(we were on different teams) and run to the board. I got it written down first, so I was all like, "Haha!" Course he had to be all macho and say(later) that "...I almost broke my leg and I had been riding for 35 hours the past three days..." I was like, "Excuses, Excuses!" (Course he did have a couple of good ones, but still- let me bask in my glory for a moment, please). But I did answer actual questions too, lol... but I swear, Travis was so absolutely flirting with me. Today, beyond a shadow of a doubt, he was flirting. He's so cute though, sometimes he gets all like tongue tied around me; it's so adorable. As Mrs Judd said in Health, "You girls will have all sorts of mushy-gushy feelings towards guys..." Yep, I'm definately feeling those(along with the KILLAH cramps that have been hitting me all day). So anyways, after Chemistry we hung out awhile and chatted- then all went our separate ways. I was all ready for aerobics when Amanda calls me and she's like, "Do ya'll want to get together to play soccer at the park?" I was like, YES! So, we went to 30 minutes of aerobics then headed to the park with Amanda, Tyler, and Trisha. We met up with Travis, Jen, Shay, Rachel, and Sarah- but, there were no open fields at the park. So, we all piled in the cars and drove aimlessly around town, looking for an open field(ANY field that we could use... not just specifically soccer). We ended up at an empty church's field(that really sloped downhill)- and we all had an absolute blast. Sarah and I got bored once with playing soccer and football, so we went jogging for about 10 minutes... but then we came back, lol. But yeah, it was fun. Then towards the end, Travis called me over to the end of the field and goes, "Hey, I need to apologize if I acted rude to you today[which, as a side note, I didn't really understand... he hadn't been rude, just not really ultra-talkative when I tried some really one-on-one conversation after classes], I didn't mean to. I was just really worried about Lee; he's thinking of moving to Florida... so I just wanted to make sure you weren't mad or anything." I was like, "Travis, it's fine. You weren't rude, and I'm not mad." He was like, "You sure?" And I was like, "Yeah, I'm sure... it's fine." I was like, AAAAAAAAAAAW, he felt bad about not talking alot to me. How utterly cute. I'm such a freaking sap... lol. Soooo anywho, they had to go back home and Shay left too- so the rest of us hung out for awhile then headed over to Dairy Barn; where we proceeded to spend the next hour and a half being silly. OOOOH, and Sarah asked Tyler to prom(a move I would never have foreseen. I was even like, "Are you serious?!" before he could even talk. LoL). He said he'd go with her, but he needs to make sure it's okay first(it's his first year, and he is young...). I know they thought I was a weirdo, I was all like, "AAAAAAAW, how cute! I feel like an older sister here... this is so absolutely adorable!"- again, such a freaking sap. So we made them get together and take a cute picture, and again, I was all like HOW CUTE!- lol. We hung out til like 9:45 or so, but then Mom picked us up on her way home from the country club. And I talked to Travis later too, so it was just a neat, neat day... But anyways, that's been today. When I have 4+ hours to spend online, I will try to type in what happened in the few weeks past... but that's way too long of a blog entry to try and type tonight. So, C YA!
***P.S. I ADOOOOOOOOOOOORE THIS SONG THAT'S ON THE RADIO- Bless the broken road. SO OSM! |

My life is undeniabley weird; just plain weird. Not necesarily a bad weird per se, but just unusual. The horse show was *great*- Stephanie got two 3rds, and I got a 4th and a 3rd. Before I go into all that, let me tell you about something that happened about 2 weeks ago. The vet was out giving the West Nile vaccines to the horses at the barn, and my trainer asked him to pull a blood panel on Mickey while he was there. So, he does- and apparently Mickey has an under-active thyroid. We put him on a medicine, and we were supposed to see results within a week and a half. When we arrived at the show, Mickey was bucking in the stall and just all out being a brat(REALLY unusual for him too, usually he's just the most demure thing ever). He even tried to kick two people in the face when they tried to clean his stall. Well, I showed him on Friday- and WOW! I swear, it was like I was riding a different horse. He was *so* strong and powerful that he ran off his feet, he wouldn't barely walk; he was all-out SHOW HOSS! I watched my video and WOWZERS, he looked incredible some passes. Anyways, Saturday night was much better- I understood more of what I was dealing with, and I figured out how to handle it. We got third(everyone said we easily coulda won, 'cept for I rushed my canter lead a bit, though I know better- and ended up kinda runnin' him into it... right in front of the judge. So, that wasn't too pretty. But anyways...), and he looked INCREDIBLE! Yesterday, several trainers called mine and asked what awesome walk-trot horse they brought to the show, and where they got him from. LoL, that's what I asked myself; "WHERE DID THIS HORSE COME FROM?!" I mean it though, he was so completely different- not just riding him, but also personality wise. He was even jumpier than Lotto(a horse that came to the show, and it was only his 2nd horse show. He's VERY game). It was halarious... but anyways, so the show went well. I came out of the ring and my trainer goes, "NOW we've got a horse to work with!!!" I was so happy with him though, I mean we made some passes that looked World Champion quality! Anywho, ASAC was a great show and we all had fun(the party was GREAT. But I must say, one of my favorite parts of the weekend was the college baseball team that was staying at our hotel. HUNKY HOT DUDES EVERYWHERE!!!!! It was osm, lol). I came back home on Sunday and cleaned the office, then like crashed at the house. I didn't even go to church that night. I just laid on the couch, watched movies, and talked to Travis- lol. Then yesterday I worked in the morning, then helped Jessie with chemistry. Later Jessie and Amanda ran into Jen and Travis at Walmart, and Jessie made this huge big deal about coming to my house! I told Jen later, it was like "She came, we studied, she left. End of story." This thing between them has to stop. It's starting to drive me insane. Like today in Chemistry. I had talked to Jen before we went, and we were both running late(we didn't have tuesday classes today, just chemistry)- So when I got to the church and they weren't there yet, I sat down next to Katie B. & Jessie was like 4 (empty)chairs down. Jessie gets her books and comes to sit next to me, and is all like chatty with me. I tried to be nice, but she started getting on my nerves. So I was like, 'I've gotta go to the bathroom', and I got up and left for a few minutes. When I got back, Jen and Travis had gotten there- and class was about to start. I sat down, and I heard Jen, Travis, and Trent laughing(I found out later that they were quoting Napoleon Dynamite and laughing about it). I just looked at them quickly, then started to open my books. Jessie goes, "Do I have something on me?" I was kinda suprised, so I looked, then was like, "Nooo... why?" And she goes, "I know they're laughing at me. What are they laughing about?" I was thinking, 'I don't keep tabs on them, they can laugh without me being included all the time... plus they DON'T think about you all the time...' But I just said "I dunno." Then, like five minutes later(I had moved WAY past it by now, because there was like, nothing to get past), she goes "Are you okay?" Um, yeah that's nice, but nothing happened. Ugh, anyways... OH, and then when we were supposed to hand our homework in- Jessie had a couple of problems she had had problems with and she left blank. She asked me whether it was right or not. I glanced at it really quick(It was STILL during class time and the teacher was talking), and it wasn't correct. I told her so, and then told her I would try to explain it to her after class; then I tried to pay attention to Ms. Cochran. Jessie goes, "Well, I have to hand this in- in just a minute, so..." OMG, how FORWARD can you be? I am NOT going to sit there and give her the freaking answers! She told people a few weeks ago that I had been giving her the answers for chemistry, so yesterday when she came to my house I made Stephie sit in and listen to us study. Steph's my WITNESS, I do not share answers(why would jessie want to tell people that ANYWAYS? It's not true)! Ugh, so anyways- then after class she made a very small comment to Jen, and then she comes over to me and was all like "There, I tried!" And she said bye and left. LOL, I went over to Travis and Jennifer and was like, "OH MY GOSH!" And Travis is like, "I could tell you didn't want to talk to her... that was halarious." Uuuuuughhhhh. So then we hung around for awhile, then we(me, travis, and jen) went out and ate Subway- then he brought me home(and they hung around our house for awhile). Then I talked to Amanda for a bit, then went to aerobics- then came home and actually got to watch an hour or so of TV and took a shower. So, that was pretty much my week(give or take alot of things, lol)... Now I'm sitting here watching The Net(with Sandra Bullock, or however you spell it). So that catches you up on me... lol
OOOOH, and I made the highest score on the chemistry quiz! I thought I did awful, but I beat Trent by 1%- MWAHAHA! Travis made like a 58, and I dunno what Jen made... Jessie made a 79, but she did do hers at home(which makes it alot more convenient to just 'peek' at the book when you're doing it, but I'm not accusing anyone of anything...). I don't know what everyone else got though. |

Okay, before I got a cell phone- I didn't get all that many phone calls. Sure, maybe 2-4 daily or so, but not alot. Now, I get calls NONSTOP! I've talked to 5 different people about totally different topics in the PAST TWENTY MINUTES! I think I've carried on like 30 conversations today on my phone... ugggh! Today was uber-busy(as usual). I got up, went to the barn and rode Mickey(Rode him in the full bridle for the first time since last October. He was AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWESOME too, absolutely perfect!), then we ran home and ate lunch. After that we drove 45 minutes(each way) to this Handbag and Jewelry outlet. We got Kara and Jessie each a purse for their birthdays(I am in LOVE with the purse we got Jessie, it's absolutely AWESOME!), then we came BACK to the house. I got dressed ultra-fast, talked on the phone, and headed to aerobics. After aerobics, I proceeded to spend 2 hours at the college library- doing research for my paper. I FINALLY got to come home and stay home, but I ended up talking on the phone like, forevah! I finally just turned it onto silent and put it in the other room. I can't talk to anybody else. Sometimes silence is best for a soul... I'm a person who NEEDS some 'me' time. Tomorrow and Saturday are going to be incredibly busy too. Tomorrow I have to work all morning, come home-& do school(and study for my chem test), write my Saddle and Bridle article, take a shower, go to Jessie/Kara's birthday party, then go bowling late with Jen and Travis. Then on Saturday I have to go sell Doughnuts @ Walmart; I have to be there at EIGHT OCLOCK IN THE MORNING! I am never up that early on saturdays, much less all 'cutified' and presentable by that time! Then we're all going out to eat probley, then we head over to Amanda's for the afternoon. I have no idea what I'm doing Saturday night, but something's bound to come along... It makes the memory of last weekend that much sweeter though. Not that I completely mind being busy, actually I thrive on being a busy person(if this whole thing has sounded a little bit, um... ungrateful perhaps- forgive me, I'm really not. I'm just frazzled, lol). I hate being bored. But, while I hate being bored, I do really enjoy quiet time. And lately I've been neglecting my quiet time... But anywho. I groomed Suzy up today(during mom's lesson on shotzee), she is SHEDDING LIKE MAD! She's huge too, lol. She just stood there and watched me groom her, turning her head to watch me. We're kindred spirits, Suzy and I are; just two girls just trying to find their way in the world... My, didn't that sound philisophical(kinda sorta)! Like I said earlier, Mickey was great. He hadn't even been ridden in the full bridle since Decatur last october- but he was absolutely incredible. I'm just praying he does that when he goes to the horse show. We could do SOOOO well if he looks like he's been looking. Mom goes, "If he looks 1/2 as good as he's been looking at the barn- you'll be in great shape!" Even Gab commented on how well we might be able to do this year(which is very unusual). Well, I think I ought to go and at least *try* to work on my paper... Ta ta! |

Sheesh, my life is like a freaking roller coaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaster. I'm serious; I'm up one minute, down the next... then way back up again! The past two days have been up moments. Yesterday when I got to Tuesday classes- I had to wear a nice outfit 'cause we were going on a field trip(Steph said I looked like 'Take Me To Work Barbie'- lol!). So, I went to government and I was one of the last to arrive. There was an empty space between Caleb and Rachel, but there weren't any empty chairs. I walked to the closet(where the chairs are kept), but it was locked. I just decided not to try the 2nd door, and so I just said I'd stand up. Caleb hopped up, walked to the second door- squeezed through(it only opens up like 6-7"), grabbed me a chair- swung it out and around and set it down next to him. I was like, "Wow... thanks!" And he goes "Anytime." Then he was like, all sweet to me all day. We then went on the field trip to the City Council building and listened to a boring lecture on how city government works(duhhhh). Then I came back, had Creative Writing, and then went to Health. Then I saw Travis for the first time on Tuesday. Gosh, he's soooo hot. Anyways, after Health me, Travis, Jen, and Tyler all went and stood next to the steps and talked for awhile. Travis carried my(25 lb) backpack for me, lol- I have a hard time carrying it sometimes(it spills open and I lose all my books, so I can't carry it on my back. I have to just carry it). Then Travis, Jen, Tyler, Tyler, Tammy, Mr&Mrs Shelton, and I all went out to eat. Then we came back and had Chemistry(ugh, it was baaad, lol). Then I went to aerobics and worked out 'til late. Then Travis and I sent each other text messages until 1am, lol- We musta sent each other like 30 text msgs apiece. Then I was all like, "Well I've got to go to bed, g'night!" And he was like, "Sweet dreams. Talk to you tom"- I was like, aaaaaaw, he said sweet dreams! That's so adorable!...
Then today I went over to the barn, & had a riding lesson on Chuckie. I need to go call Amanda, Jennifer, and Kara... but for some reason I just can't make myself get up- lol. But alas, I think I must. Anywho, ttyl- |

Ooo, I just ate Dominos pizza... I'm stuffed! Well, I *finally* get a quiet(ish) weekend!!!!!!! I'm so happy, I want to sleep until like 11am tomorrow morning(something I havn't done in MONTHS)- I do have lessons tomorrow, and I wanna go shopping(Goodys is having a major sale), but otherwise my weekend will be spent at home! Now, weird as it might sound, I'm actually happy about this. I havn't had a morning to sleep as late as I want to in, like, forevaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! The couple of months(or five-lol)'s weekends are like jam-packed, so I doubt I'll get another chance to sleep in for awhile. OMG, Jen is soooo completely guy-crazy. She's in love with Cullen, almost in love with Dustin, and she likes Robby alot. Boy, I wish I had that many guys to pick from! Jen told me that she and her mom are sure that Trav likes me... but anyways, I'm not gunna try to open up that can o' worms(i'll get all freakified, and I don't feel like being all mushy gushy). I just realized that I use this LJ to use my worst grammer, writing style, and everything else bad that has to do with english. LoL! Ohs wells. Stephie has Olivia over, they're being all loud upstairs... OMG, Suzy is sooooooooooo huge! We went over to the barn yesterday(after going to the library w/ Jen and then going out to eat with her, Travis, Lee, and their parents) and we rode Chuckie & Shotzee- and I went out to see Suzy. She slooooowly walked up to the fence, and she looks like a barrel with legs! We felt something hard when we tried to feel of the baby(luckily Suzy doesn't mind us playing with her), we think it was a little foot or a knee. I want a black or bay filly, but watch her give us a chestnut colt. LoL, I really don't care tho, as long as its talented! Weeell, I need to go work on my dance moves, I wanna have all the spiffy dance moves when it's time for prom(Between watching MTV & CMT, i'm hoping I don't have to take dance lessons!). I also need to work on my chem. speech, and my research for my paper... So anywho, ttyl- |

Muh life is soooooooooooooooooooooooo freaking busy! Lets see... Thursday I spent a day shopping with Jennifer and Amanda(& Trav get his braces off(he looked adorable- all embarassed that we were all there watching him, lol)), Friday/Sat/Sun I went to the ASHA youth conference in lexington kentucky, Monday I worked and did a ton of school, yesterday I had CHIMES all day, then I skipped aerobics and went out to the regional park to play softball(with Travis, Jen, Amanda, Lee, Tyler, Steph, & Trisha- it was really fun, I ended up pitching(which I'm better at than I thought)!!!) then we all went out and ate outside(and FROZE, 'cause we were wearing shorts) at Sonic, today I had my riding lesson and worked this afternoon/evening; so I'm really tired. I'm hoping to just not do anything this weekend, and just sleep. I doubt that'll happen, but ya never know. I get an extra week before my next chemistry quiz... I wouldnt have studied my butt off if I'd known that. I've gotta get a text messaging plan, I sent like 40 yesterday and recieved like 50... I am such a freaking dork though, I really can't wait for prom, even though it's like 2 1/2 months away. Oh, and ASAC's only like a month away! I'm happyful... oh so happyful! I wanna go listen to some music, take a bath, and do my nails. I love just doing quiet things for myself, I get a loverly sense of joy doing it. Katie- if you read this, I am so sorry about your nana. Please know I'll be praying for you all! <333333333 bye my lufflies |

| | I AM SOOOO HAPPY! | ] |
Guess what? TRAVIS ASKED ME TO PROM! Oh yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! I am sooooo excited! And I said yes! He had told his mom earlier in the day that he was going to ask me, but not infront of everybody. After classes his mom asked me to put something in a white van for her. I was like "okaaaaaaay..." And I went outside, and he was there waiting. I was all like "Where's ya'lls white van?" And he's like, "I don't know... hey, I have a question for you." I was like, "Okay, what?" "Will you go to prom with me?" Oh my lord, I coulda died! He's so hot! I was like, "Uh... YES!" I wasn't sure if he liked me or not, he kinda acted like it when we all went bowling on Saturday- but I wasn't sure. Friday when I spent the night with Amanda, she and jessie told me that they thought that Caleb liked me. I think he does, but he is more immature than Travis and Travis actually worked up the guts to ask me(plus he's super hot and nice). I prayed this morning that I would get a prom date soon- God answered this one well! I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy! Katie, when you read this, leave a comment and tell me if you remember/ever met Travis. Remember, his sister's Jennifer and his older brother's Lee? Amanda wants to go to prom with Lee- I think he'll ask her too. After his engagement was broken off with Whatshername, he started talking to Amanda alot. Anywho, I've got to go- Aerobics is in an hour, and I need to go to the office to meet mama. Oh, and katie (*sniffle)- read down a couple of entries about "Consolation Prizes..." I'm sad about that. But oh so happy about having a prom date! XD |

It's almost PROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM time! Only about two months away, and it's almost time for me to get tickets... I think a certain somebody is gunna ask me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh yeah, oh yeah oh yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Everybody thinks so, and his mom asked Tammy if I was single and if I had anyone to go to prom with yet- LoL, I'm excited! Today I had a riding lesson on Shotzee, we did *alot* of bull pen exercises. I had to do all three gaits with no stirrups AND no reins- at the same time. It was fun, rather scary, but fun. Then we got to see these two adorable little girls get to ride him(he was very tired at this point, that's the only reason they got to use him for their lesson)- he did sooo good! Tuesday classes went great yesterday, we have a Chem quiz next week... I spent two hours at the library on Monday trying to get research for my paper, and then found out yesterday that we didn't need it 'til next week. Aerobics yesterday went okay, our usual instructor's been sick, and our fill in liked to do alot of knee-ups. Fun for me and amanda, hard for everyone else. Amanda and I are going to start jogging regularly, we both find it really fun. Tomorrow we have riding lessons, then we're going to aerobics, then to the college for our two hour "horse course" thingie. Friday night is the girls life skills progressive dinner- we're doing salad. We're going from Karas to my house, then to Olivias, then to the Judds I think- then back to Karas to watch 'The Village'. I think mom, sharon, stephanie and I are going shopping Saturday- gunna hit the MALL!!!!!!!!! Then Saturday night I think I'm going bowling with a bunch of my friends, not sure though. I need to call Jen about that.....I just thought about something, I mostly write this for Katie. I havn't given this link to any of my friends, though I don't know why. Anywho, ttfn- |

Guess what? We don't get to go to florida. The one thing I was REALLY looking forward to this spring, and it's taken away. It turns out, the only weeks they can move Mom into her new huge offices is the exact same time as when we planned to go to FL. Goodbye awesome horse show, goodbye beach, goodbye seeing several friends I havn't seen in forever, goodbye AWESOME VACATION. My god, sometimes life sucks so seriously it's unfair. But, I do have good news! I get my very own key chain. Yep, instead of the awesome car, I get a dinky keychain(no, there's really no car/keychain, btw). Instead of an amazing two week trip to florida, I 'get' to go to show at ASAC in Clemson and I 'get' to attend the ASHA youth conference. Big freaking whoop... No, I'm not nearly as ungrateful as I sound. I'm merely more than slightly upset, I was looking forward so much to going- I'm just really disapointed. And I'm not trying to take anything away from ASAC or the conference- but we were 'supposed' to go to the Youth conference ANYWAY. So really, we get to trade the two tampa shows for ASAC. I've been to both shows, and let me tell you, one is definately like 5x more fun than the other.....................But anyways, I'm done ranting now. It's nice ya know, having a place to rant. Anyways, I have actualy been having a few good things happen to me. I think either Caleb or Travis will ask me to prom... Tammy thinks Travis will for sure, but I don't know. If either one of them ask me, I'll accept. Aerobics is going good, I havn't been too sore recently. Riding's going really well, Mickey was(it seems to be getting to be his 'norm') amazing- Wednesday I rode Shotzee & Chuckie and practiced patterns. Even though I don't show in Eq much, patterns are awesome. I'm so proud of Chuckie, he's being soooo good for all the little kids. Two 5 year olds regularly take lessons on him, along with at least 15 other young kids. My ol' chuckie cheese, the horse that 'would never canter' and 'would never be for young kids'. Mom and I started a 5 week horse seminar last night, last night was 'Conditioning your horse for spring'. The one I'm really looking forward to is the 'The foal's first year'. It's exactly a month before Suzy's due. Suzy's SO huge now, she looks like she could pop any day- even though her due date's not until April 17th. Anywho... I've got to go work on my research paper, so ta ta! |

Yesterday was awesome! Our government class started yesterday, our teacher's gunna be... hard, lol. Caleb sat next to me, again- and walked with me to one of my classes. Oh, I got a 98 on my creative writing mid term! We started our research papers, mine's on To Kill A Mockingbird. I've got to read a book this afternoon, entitled 'To Kill A Mockingbird- Threatening Boundaries'- ABOUT to kill a mockingbird. I have to read like 12-14 books on TKAM... it's going to be really hard FINDING all those books. Megan's supposed to be letting me use her college library pass to go to TW's library- but I don't know when. I had health after creative writing, it was fun. Health's not exactly what you would consider the traditional health class. We get our homework and stuff, but we get to talk alot in class, which is cool. Then Steph, Tammy, Sarah and I went out to Arbys for lunch. Kara and Jessie went to a mexican place, but I only had $12 for me and steph... so we went to arbys. I had a wrap, like I've said previously- gotta be skinny for florida! Then we went back and I had Chemistry... Trent and I have had this long-standing competition about who gets the best grades in science. I think he may have beat me in Biology last year, but I don't remember... But anywho, as of the mid-term, I am .3 ahead of him! LoL, I have a 99.7 and he has a 99.4- I hope either him or caleb asks me to prom... or travis. Steph thinks Travis'll ask me, but I don't know... I think he may have a girlfriend, but I'm not sure. Anywho, then I came home and wrote my Saddle and Bridle article... then I went to Aerobics. Amanda came too- it was fun! Had a good workout... I'm a little sore today, but not alot. This morning I went to my riding lesson, rode Shotzee and Chuckie both- Steph and I ride at the same time sometimes, that's what we did this morning. I rode Shotzee the first way, then rode Chuckie the second way(and some the first way). Anywho, I've gotta run and try to read that book before I have something ELSE to do... lol- |

Just got back from work, I'm tiiiired. Tomorrow Tuesday classes start back, I'm almost looking forward to it. Almost. Steph, Amber, Sharon, Mom and I went to see White Noise saturday night... it was good! Everytime Amber would get scared, she'd scream and then shrink down really fast into her seat. It was halarious. Sharon touched her on the shoulder and she musta jumped a mile high. Anyways, Friday I was sick... and Thursday was *fun*! I rode Mickey, and he was AWESOME! Here's a picture---> http://image32.webshots.com/33/1/47/12/248014712yWIodG_ph.jpg - I had to take it from my video that mom did, because NO ONE at the barn can use my digital camera worth a flip. He was absolutely, 100% awesome that ride. Then that afternoon we rode Stuffy(Mr. Big Stuff). He's an unbroke hackney pony, who's only been ridden three times(I was the second person ever on his back, and the first to ride him without having a header try to lead him around). I rode him in the bullpen and then up and down the barn hall. He didn't buck too much... he tried to spin several times, but I stayed on! LoL- I've gotta run, steph wants to make cookies and go to the barn after while(it's GORGEOUS outside)- and I need to call a few people. So, I'll update later- |

Oh my lord what cheesey titles I come up with. Yes, I rode Chuckie(aka Heir Lane... get it now?) today for my lesson. He was really good today, Sharon had me doing a *ton* of no stirrips stuff. My new boots are soooo stiff, makes it harder to put my heels down. I actually got up early today and worked out! How unusual is that... I need to get back to jogging daily, I did it all summer/fall/most of winter- I just got out of it in the holidays. Amber's over, I think she and Steph are upstairs watching Harry Potter... I would join them, but I'd rather watch law and order svu. Gotta love those guys, they go out - help the victim get over their emotional and physical side-effects - and catch the bad guy(s)- all in under an hour!!! Wow, they're good. And I support this show with such an incredible fervor that it's sad, just sad. Danggit, I want a chocolate chip granola bar. Seems like everytime I aim to go on a diet, my mind says "SNACK!" three times as often as when I'm not on a diet. I want to lose 10 lbs in the next two months- so when I go to the tampa shows I'll look all skinny-fied! XD I can't go down there and look like a cow next to katie- lol! Actually I have lost weight over the past year, around 12 lbs over the course of about 6 months; but I wasn't really 'trying' per se to lose weight. Our world is a sad one, ya know it? About 140,000 people killed in the Tsunami... wow, it's so so so sad. A girl I know was actually on the island the day before the tsunami. She was supposed to stay there two more days, but because of an uncle's birthday she left early. I know it's impacted her alot- I mean, she should have been killed! If it hadn't been for a weird change in plans, she WOULD have died. It just hits so close to home. And to think 140,000 people died. I can barely fathom how many 140,000 really is. I don't think I've ever seen(and KNOWN it was at least 140k) 140,000 of ANYTHING! So it's really hard for me to imagine that many people who have died... but for those over there, they're trying to imagine the days prior, the happy days when they had no idea a tsunami was about to wipe out their families and homes. Anyways, I'd better go- I have a riding lesson tomorrow and so do my sister, my mum, and Amber- plus we have aerobics tomorrow evening. So we have a full day planned. So, bye for now-

AEROBICS! LoL, I joined an aerobics class today- muh Mom and I go twice a week- Tuesdays and Thursdays. I heard more 'Step-Step-Kicks!' tonight than on any bad Richard Simmons video... Amanda's SUPPOSED to be taking the class with me, but she's babysitting 24-7 this week for a couple of kids; so she can't come until next Tuesday. But anywho, Amber's supposed to be coming over tomorrow after our lessons- I think she's spending the night, but I dunno. I've got to work on my research paper and my Saddle & Bridle article, so this is semi short today. Until next time-
Oh, and by the way- PERIODS *SUCK!* I thought I had escaped mine this month, stupid me. It only showed up a week and a half late, crushing my hopes of maybe(since I'm exercising *alot* more) skipping... my family subconsciously wanted me to skip too, yup- periods make me incredibly bitchy. Go figure. But the aerobics tonight helped me move past my period-slump, and it's got me pumped up! Anywho, bye for now- |

Haaaaaaaaaaaappy New Year!!! We had a party last night, like 14 people came over and spent the night... it was so much FUN. We played games, watched movies, ate *lots* of cookies, and watched the ball drop. And oh my gosh, our floor was COVERED in confetti. Steph and I are still trying to clean up. I am so tired... we were up so late. CHIMES starts back in a week and a half, I havn't even started work on anything yet(lol). Work yesterday was awful. Just awful. I had to work an extra hour(that part was ok though, since I do get paid by the hour), and I had the worst headache when I came home. OOoooh, I got new shoes on my way home from work too! They're these pink little clog things, they're so adorable!!! Oh my goodness, and my mom was talking to me about a CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR! She has been seriously looking at the VW bugs! She even asked me what COLOR I wanted(red, of course). How awesome is that? She was talking about getting me one for my birthday- I am sooooo excited! Oh, and I rode Mickey thursday- he was even BETTER than last week. I seriously don't know what's going on with him. He's being so amazing, it's hard to believe he'll continue it. He's soooo much fun when he's gamed up, such a cutie... Aaaaaaanyways, I've got lots of cleaning to do, and I think I'm supposed to call Amanda, so until next time!- |

Well, since Katie gets mad when I don't update this I guess I'll do it to make her happy(lol)... I've seen more people, parties, and presents in this past month than I have all year... But we had a nice holiday. I got *alot* of stuff- 2 pairs of high heeled flip-flops, a pair of nice clogs, new ariat boots(yay!), alot of new clothes, like 5 pairs of earrings, a necklace, bath stuff, SATIN SHEETS!, new pajamas, $100, and some other stuff. We had a quiet christmas at home, it was really nice. We're having a New Year's party, hopefully it'll be fun. Gosh, Mickey has been *amazing* these past four weeks. I thought that our ride two weeks ago was so awesome it couldn't be improved on. I was wrong, he was absolutely AAAAAAAWESOME on Christmas Eve's Eve. Absolutely amazing. He was so game and strong, he was like a totally different horse. Everyone at the barn watching was amazed(and I'm not being facicious here, they made tons of comments on how awesome he was). All my waiting maybe has *finally* paid off. I knew when we bought him it'd take awhile to get him out of his shell. Last season he was good, but I knew there was more in there. He'd forgotten how to be a horse and ENJOY his show career. But it seems like FINALLY he has crawled out of his shell and has started enjoying showing off. I love my Mouse... I went and saw Meet the Fockers with Tyler, Amanda, Trisha, Jessie, Steph, and the twins. It was okay, not amazing. I think we're all going to go see Ocean's 12 this week. Oh yeah, I GOT A 100% ON MY THREE HOUR CHEMISTRY FINAL(not the quiz I posted about on the 9th, this was the FINAL)!!!!!!!!! I am so, so, so, SO happy about that. LoL, anyways, I found these in my dad's joke book and I figured I'd share-
I'm not offended at all by dumb blonde jokes, because I know I'm not dumb. I also know I'm not blonde.(TOTALLY ME)
People in hell... where do they tell people to go?
If all the nations in the world are in debt, where did all the money go?
Is sloppiness in speech caused by ignorance or apathy? I don't know and I don't care.
