Sports Sports and more Sports

So I know that Allie played volleyball in Columbus almost a month ago, but I never got around to posting the pictures on here. So I am going to post a few of those first and then a few from the USA vs USA futures softball game.

The team huddle before one of the games

Allie being subbed into the game


Al slamming it down some chick's throat. =]

Now on to the softball game.. which was amazing. I know that you have probably already seen these but I love them... So here they are again

The tams being introduced

Cat looking at us.. Sorry about the fence

I met her and got her autograph. P.S. She's super tall.

Tis The Season

To buy new flops!

I love me some flops.

I think I got a little carried away this year...

Or maybe it's just me...

For those of you counting that is 10 pair of flops for this spring/summer.

I haven't had any of the cool colors on yet, but the top row I have except for the black ones.

Dear Summer

Could you please get here faster

Christmas Treats

I figured instead of sitting home in front of the computer all day that I would start making some yummy Christmas Treats. Mama only let me make the "not messy, fast to be finished, easy to clean up" treats to make. I was having a hard time when the chocolate was melted I bumped the tray on the oven and they all stuck together =/... So much for being easy....

First you start with some square pretzels.

Next you add the cute little chocolate circle discs. After that you bake them and then....

Add the M&M's... If you're as anal as my mother you either have all the M's facing up or down.

The finished product needing some cooling time in the fridge.

Oh and again. If you want some you know where they are =p

Changes

Well since moving everything home from Walsh I had to find homes for all of it. I made a few changes in my room and I like them. They are working out pretty well for me. So I thought that I should post since I haven't forever =].

I found a wall to put all my dots on my wall. I didn't want to keep them up there because after all I bought them. So we put them on Wax Paper and brought them home.


Just more dots.


I picked up all the books that have been laying in the corner since the last day of my senior year and put them in a crate. They look better in there.

That brown thing would be my jacket that I was not wearing the other night.. I just wanted you to see that I actually had one!



My pictures are back on my dresser where they belong =]

This is my little corner in the green thing I have all my hair stuff and my lotion and soap and sprays, oh and some feminine products too hehe. The purple hamper is a plus because I no longer have clothes laying on the floor.


I don't have shoes on my closet floor anymore. Just sleeping bags, and other stuff.

This is where all my shoes are now. In this nifty shoe thing. Actually it's a closet organizer but I thought I liked it more for my shoes.

Welcome To The World

Baby Kirsten and Baby Caleb

This is baby Kirsten she was so small but so adorable

And this is baby Caleb, he was a little bigger than his sister, but he was still adorable too

Perhaps

You could shoot me because I absolutely hate my job... It's that bad... I decided the first day that it sucked, but my mom talked me into staying because it was some extra money..... Yesterday I worked in aisle 1 and it seemed much better than being cashier... I have to do it again tomorrow...  I think I'm gonna ask if I can do that more often than cashier... but who knows... 

It's Hard To Believe

Well, here are the pictures from the wreck that happened last Wednesday night

Actually seeing where he wrecked was something totally different than what I pictured in my mind too... When they said he went and hit a tree in someone's yard it made me think he drove through the yard a while before he hit the tree... but actually he went off the road right into the tree, it was like 8 feet off the road if that...We have all also decided that if the black truck that was parked in the road that he bumped into before he hit the tree would have followed the "absolutely no parking at any time" signs going up and down the road then he would have probably made it home and not ended up almost losing his left foot, having fractured and broken ribs and 23 stitches in his chin, barely able to move and breathe in the hospital bed without saying it hurts it hurts. seeing the pictures of the truck and the truck for real made you really realize how lucky Uncle Dave is to still be here.  It's absolutely crazy... I'll try to kind of type what everything is under the pictures because some are kind of hard to tell unless you actually see the truck...

Sorry if they are not the greatest, but I think you can get the idea.

This is the drivers side door... The big dent and the scrapes to the right of where the door would shut is where we think they had to use the jaws of life to get the door open to be able to get him out

This is the front where he hit the tree.. If you look close enough right under the smashed up headlight you can still see bark off of the tree that is stuck in there... 

This we're not quite sure what it is, but it's something that was under his hood that was now sticking out of where it belonged, and all the wires were cut from it

This is the back passengers side where he hit the truck that was parked in the road that wasn't supposed to be parked there... that's pretty much the only damage to that side.. a bit of a scrape, but nothing compared to the drivers side

I took this picture, but I don't know if you can tell, the front bumper is actually bent down into the front tire and put a hole in the tire... 

This is his radio on the inside of the truck... I only took this picture because look how it's not even together anymore, the impact of hitting the tree made it come apart



This is pretty similar to the second picture I have posted, but in this one I pretty much zoomed in, I think I was trying to actually get the bark that was still in his truck.. you can see it a lot better in this picture


This was the windshield... It didn't break, but it was shattered obviousally, as you can see

well that's all I'm going to post for now, because my computer took literally a hour to upload all of those pictures... so if you want to see any more[although I don't have much more] just ask

I'm Done

Well last night I graduated! HOORAYYY... I made it.  I'm was so nervous when it all started, but by the end of the night I was super happy.  It's kind of a weird feeling now, because I don't really know what to do now.  I had so much to look forward to before last night, and now I have nothing.  It's so weird.  It's like I just sit here hoping something comes looking for me.  I was really proud of myself because I made it through the entire ceremony without crying, although I realized that was more than likely the last time I would see everyone together in that big group, and in the fall everyone is going their own ways.  Although I don't like some of the people in my graduating class, it was nice to see everyone together.  

But, I'm looking forward to summer, and I can't wait to have late night bon-fires, and hang out with my friends all day, go swimming, and of course work on my tan too.  It's going to be amazing

I Guess I Thought That This Would Never End...

- - Well as crazy as it seems, my days at Canton South High School are finally over...
Today was boring just like any other last day of school, and I don't think that the "you really aren't going back there anymore" has hit me yet. I'm still in, oh yeah I'm done I made it 4 years without failing mode. After lunch, I was counting down the minutes until my last day of school would be over... I mean I'm pretty excited, but kinda nervous at the same time [Weird I know]. It just feels so weird. In 3 months I'm going to be in a whole new atmosphere not knowing anything and figuring out that I am responsible and I have to do my assignments and there are no retakes if I fail a test, and I can't slack off. I'll admit that I'm really nervous for that, but then again I think I am ready for it. I need a challenge.

- - I have to go in tomorrow at 11 for a pre-calc final that's going to kill me... But I guess I'll live... whatever it can't be any worse than I have done in there all year... so whatever... As soon as I am done taking my final....

SWEET SUMMERTIME!!

I'm really excited.. that means sleeping in and staying out late, and seeing my friends whenever I want and not having to worry about it being a "school night."

I know most of you know this song, but I thought it was appropriate so I'm gonna post it....

"Graduation (Friends Forever)"

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon
And there was me and you
And then we got real blue
Stay at home talking on the telephone
And we would get so excited and we'd get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels

[1]
As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
From whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever

So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels

[Repeat 1]

La, la, la, la:
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la:
We will still be friends forever

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

[Repeat 1 (3x)]

Just A Though

I turned on the evening news
Saw a old man being interviewed
Turning a hundred and two today
Asked him what's the secret to life
He looked up from his old pipe
Laughed and said "All I can say is."

Don't blink
Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your "better half"
Of fifty years is there in bed
And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think
So don't blink

I was glued to my tv when it looked like he looked at me and said
"Best start putting first things first."
Cause when your hourglass runs out of sand
You can't flip it over and start again
Take every breathe God gives you for what it's worth

Don't Blink
Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your "better half"
Of fifty years is there in bed
And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think
So don't blink

So I've been tryin' ta slow it down
I've been tryin' ta take it in
In this here today, gone tomorrow world we're livin' in

Don't blink
Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your "better half"
Of fifty years is there in bed
And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster then you think
So Don't blink

Naw, don't blink
Life Goes Faster Than You Think


Well today was actually pretty rough for me, although it didn't have much to do with me, I still took it pretty hard. It made me upset.  I wish there was something I could do to make things better, but I know there isn't, and it upsets me.  Today really made me realize things that I knew and heard before, but just didn't take the time to think about. 

Happy "Late" Valentines Day =]

Yes yes yes I know Valentines Day was Saturday, but I'm just now getting around to posting... because Sunday I babysat all dayyyy, and then yesterday I babysat againnn then got my hair fixeddd =]
So sorry it's 3 days late.. but here is what my valentine got meeee =]




Made me =]

Hooray For A Snow Day

Well, I was thinking about it, and I guess the teachers at Canton South can make good predictions every now and then. They were all right when they said they won't see us tomorrow, yesterday. I was super excited when my mom came in and told me we didn't have school this morning. Even though it was 5:30. Oh well I'm just glad we got the day off =]






These are from a week or two ago, but I figured that they went along with the whole snow day theme

It"s Back

Well I finally got my computer back... but I lost everything....
But that's okay.. I will get it all back... and I figured I would post since I haven't in forever and a day... although I don't have anything to talk about...

That's A Bust

Well...
Here you go.. here is an update... I can pretty much only update when I am at my grandma and grandpa's house, since our computer is a piece and blew up...
I hate the stupid thing.. it sucks!

Well I have some pictures from a few weeks ago that I am just now about to put on here so here they be haha =p

What Was I Thinking

I didn't expect it to be this short...
Oh well I guess it's just hair and it will grow back

Happy New Year!!!

Well since I had to be a DD last night, and I sat for ohh, 8 hours staring at the wall and watching some Americas Funniest Home Videos. But then my mom started to get a little happy, and being her normal self when she is buzzed....

My dad, well he is another story, he played pool all night, and he said, " Someone drank all my Bud Light, come back here and look." So when my mom and I went back to look, there were 10 Bud Light bottles lined up back in my grandmas back room, along with some other bottles, but he drank Bud all night, and 10 wasn't all. He had some upstairs un the kitchen too. It was quite the car ride home let me tell you!

Now for some pictures since I didn't have anything else to do.


- - I thought Bogey looked cute with that on so I took her picture


- - mhmmm, my mom was double fisting some alcohol last night, and that would be Aunt Connie in the black glasses


- - my crazy mother



- - The most fun I had all night haha =p



- - yes, that would be Nikki drinking some Bud Light off of a plate, it was pretty funny, she kept coming back for more



- - My mom "passed out" only for me to take the picture, it was all her idea.



- - Jayson and I found a helmet for her to wear, and then she put on the glasses with it.

Feliz Navidad

Merry Christmas to everyone. I hope everyone had a wonderful day. I know I sure did, and I got a lot of great things.

So this morning, I got a wonderful wake up from my darling sister Allie, at 6:30am. It went a little something like this, "Wake up Sugar Plum, Santa came to visit you!" Talk about a bad way to wake up, so I layed there a little longer, and then my mom came in and told me to wake up and come open gifts, so I did. Allie and I have a tradition that every year we open up out stockings first, and in there I had, some slim jims, some chocolate, some hair ties, some Warm Vanilla Sugar Shower Gel, some chapstick. Then we always wait for dad to pass out all of our gifts to everyone, and we wait until everyone has all of their gifts. After everyone has their gifts, we start to open. I got 2 really cute shirts from Aeropostale, a sweater from Aero, a short sleeved sweater looking shirt from Aero, 2 pair of jeans from Aero. Allie got me Jeff Dunham, and some Love Spell aka Douche Bag lotion. Then when we thought we were done, dad handed us a gift that was for both of us. When we opened it, it was DDR for Wii, I was super excited. After that we all ran around like a bunch of raped apes, and got ready and went to Gram and Gramps house.

When we got to Gram and Gramps house we only had a little while longer to wait on breakfast to be ready, so we sat around and all of us kids talked about what "Santa" brought us. Then we all had some breakfast which was eggs, toast, sausage gravy and biscuits, regular sausage, and some ham. After everyone was done eating, we all gathered down in the basement and opened our gifts. From there I got, an Ohio State hoodie, some type of digital picture frame type of thing, some gloves and a ear band things to keep my ears warm, and some earrings all from gram and gramps. From Natalie and Julie, I got Guitar Hero World Tour. Uncle Steve and Aunt Dee bought mea really cute Canton South shirt. Uncle Dave and Aunt Mindy got me a gift card to Aero, and a gift card for iTunes. We all sat around and chatted a while then it was time to leave.

After we left there we brought our gifts home, and got the gifts we needed to take over to Grandma Iva's house[which is my dad's side of the family]. We got there and had to wait on a few more people to show up. When they finally got there, we all opened up our gifts. There I got A nice Canton South hoodie from my Grandma. From my Uncle I got Wii Music, and from my other aunt and uncle I got an outfit from Aero. Then it was time to open the big dogs. From, Aunt Connie, Uncle Mike, Aunt Sylvia, Donnie, and Tyler I my new digital camera that I was wanting, and then a printer to hook it up to. So it was a pretty good day, and overall I'm very happy with everything I got.

Then to make things even better, I got to see David again today, I was super happy, because I didn't think I was going to get to see him again before he left. Tonight, I didn't have as hard of a time when I took him home. I almost cried, but I didn't. I was proud of myself. =]

I know I said I just got a new digital camera but I don't have many pictures on it, and I didn't take many tonight. Maybe tomorrow I will take some to show everything I am talking about.

Slacker

Sorry, I really don't have things to talk about...
Except last night..
I was keeping score for Allie's basketball team, they were playing Marlington. A girl from Marlington was running baskwards, and tripped over her own feet. I didn't think anything of it. Then the next thing I know she is laying on the floor holding her wrist crying and saying "Oh my God it hurts so bad." So she took her other hand off her wrist, it was 100% dislocated or broken. It was nasty. It looked like something you see on Scarred. It just didn't look right.

It was so gross, and I felt bad, becuase all she kept saying was it hurts so bad, it hurts so bad. Then she left, and that was the end of the excitement.

Today, I stayed home because I am sick, again... It seems that I have not gotten better since the week before Thanksgiving. Today I had a fever of 100, I can;t breathe out of my nose, my throat hurts, and my head feels like it's going to explode off my shoulders =/

An Actual Post

Hooray for me!! I finally have something to talk about, and I'm not going to just post a stupid survey. So this morning, I got up and got ready. Allie and I had to go to the orthodontist, my appointment only took like 5 seconds, and then Allie took like 1 hour or so. This would be why =]






Yes thats right, you are seeing things correctly. Allie got her braces off today. She looks so weird because I am not used to seeing her with them off. But her teeth loos super nice. I was happy for her =]

But thats all I have to talk about, I just wanted to make an actual post instead of a silly survey
