Yesterday was a good day! I spent most of the morning with my grandmother. We were planning to go out for coffee but it was a little to warm for that so we just kind of hung out around the house. Then toward evening around 7 o'clock i went out to RW to say a last good bye to all the awesome, and wonderful people that work down there. The first part of the night i spent with matt r., matt n., aaron, liz, trent, and abbi reading the gospel of matthew. That took about 2 hours exactly. It was really nice. Ha i really don't know how else to describe it. I also would say it was very moving and i found alot of interesting verses that appealed to me and that really made me think! Once we were done with that we went down to the campfire pit and we burnt crosses from cross hill that were from past years. Symbolizing the burning of all old sin and the starting anew of so many young ones lives. I can't tell you how many emotions i felt at this time. Sad, happy, overwhelmed....everything mixed in as one. The whole experience was unforgettable because matt r. started out with a really moving prayer and aaron brought his guitar down to the pit and the music he played just added so much to the mood. And also i can't forget to mention that the night was the most beautiful of nights i've seen in awhile. It was almost as if it were daylight and the teepees across the lake were glowing on the lake side. AWWW it was just wonderful!!!! I also found out that my roommate and matthew rowe know one another. It is really crazy. Such a small small world!

well i'm off.....

God Bless....and May angels walks by your side now and always!

Wow! its been awhile and life has been crazy lately. Pretty busy and majorly stressed out with everything, but now everything is finally calming down.....YAY!

I got hired at the Pizza Ranch here in town! I'm really pumped about it because i've been waiting for almost a month for this and the boss finally called me up today! I mean i was literally jumping off the walls! The weather lately is really really hard on me! I absolutely dread it being this hot because i always get really crabby and experience really bad headaches. I don't really understand why but hey we can't understand everything about our bodies now can we. Yeah i've gotten back into the whole running deal, and it feels so nice! I think that i mentioned this before in my last entry but i'm not sure, but ne ways, i ran 7 miles today. The first time in along time that i have been able to do that without pain. I was really excited about that. Oh and just to let you know i ran on a treadmill, haah not out in the sorching heat of 100 degrees. I think i would've killed myself doing that.

What i did this weekend -

1) Yesterday (sat.) went to the McVille days parade. I really liked it alot. There were alot of cool entries, lets just say it was way more entertaining than cooper or binford days. Boy was it hot though!

2)Went up to stump lake for a birthday dinner with my mommy! :) Happy B-day mom on the 14th!

3)Went swimming for the first time in our make shift pool of ours! It felt wonderful! :)

4)Went to the best movie in the world! CARS! You have to see that movie, i think it sends a super message and also makes you laugh which is always a plus!

5)I finished reading Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince this weekend. Ha yeah i know the book came out last year around this time, but lets just say i finally got motivated enough to actually pick up the book and start reading it.

Smile! Tin@

Well i couldn't get any pictures downloaded last time from graduation...i dunno exactly what happened but the photos just wouldn't load, but i'll try again some other time.

So what is new in my life?

1)Didn't get the job at wee care yet ne ways. I guess now they are low on the number of kids they watch over. So they might not be looking for employees.

2) I might apply to the local pizza ranch

3) I miss everybody at RWBC

4)I'm going down there one of these days to visit! most likely next week!

5)I've been doing some shopping for my dorm room...YAY!

6)I got my class schedule for next year.....and ya know what? its not soo bad :)

7) I learned playing bad mitton w/ 3 ppl can be dangerous if you don't watch what direction everyone is going and you don't let ne one know who is going after the birdy....two people + Birdy in the air=collison!

um...i think thats all thats new as of right now

I went fishing w/ my family yesterday, and well i failed at catching any thing! lol they only person who caught something was my dad-a northern pike-but it was too small to keep. And it was freezing!!! out there, yeah it was quite sad that i had 4 shirts on and still couldn't seem to warm up. But it was a blast! I've started running again! YAY! i'm sooo happy because for about a month i was not able to because of a hip injury and it was said that i might not be able to run ever again, but i proved them wrong!! HA HA :) There is absolutely no pain anymore! AMAZING!

yep well thats all for now! tooDles

God Bless!!

YES! i'm finally GRADUATED!! but ya know what it hasn't all sunk in yet. I don't really feel like i should be out of high school and going on to college - yes i'm excited and everything but it all feels like a dream. When i walked down the isle on Sun. toward the stage to recieve my diploma, it felt like i was walking in a dream. It was a very weird feeling. Our after party was nice, i saw alot of family that i hadn't seen in awhile and i also saw Christine! I was happy! :D Over all it turned out to be a super duper day!

Now that school is out i feel lost, just because i was used to a fixed schedule every day but i'll get used to it sooner or later. I'm enjoying summer vacation so far. Soon i will be starting at wee care in cooper and i'm really excited for that because i will get to work with babies, something i've always wanted to do! The couple of times i've helped my aunt out back there made me really attached to the young ones! They make me smile! Yes, i really miss Red Willow and all my friends but i will be there for discovery weeks and evenings for chapel and bonefires! I'm really looking forward to this whole summer! But i'm even more excited to finally be in college and experience life out there!

I'm going to show you guys some pictures of my graduation on sun. may 21st....

Life as I have known it for the past 18 years is about to change forever in a couple of weeks. So many decisions are to be made, paths to follow.....scary, sad, mad, happy....all the emotions i'm feeling at this very moment!

Today our church had the annual baclorette supper for us seniors. It was a really nice celebration, and what really touched my heart was that our father made the meal all by himself! IT was DELICIOUS!! but what also really grabbed my heart was the fact that he mentioned Jared in his homily. He included him in our lives at this very moment, I couldn't thank him enough!

yeah alot of things have been going on in my life right now....so that is why i havn't updated in a while. I'm registering for classes at the U of M soon; i'm pretty pumped about all of that, and also to find out who will be the lucky one to be my roommate:) I'm really excited to get to the college life!

This weekend was also state music in Bismarck, and it was fun to some extent except for when we had to spend the whole day at the college from either 7 0r 10 in the morning until 5 pm...it was a crazy day, and i'm still realy exhausted from it! but it was nice because i got to see tons of my friends that i havn't seen in a long time! yeah i'm having trouble believing that it is 7th of May and graduation is just around the corner. It just seems like yesterday that I was at the prom with all of my friends! Wow, time is flying by! Today at mass father had a really moving homily....he said one sentence that really stuck out to me from the rest..."The holy spirit lives within each one of our hearts and its laying out the path before our eyes, but its up to us to follow it." Sometimes this can be scary to me....what if i'm not doing the right thing, what if I choose the wrong thing, the thing that wasn't a part of my path in life? I know i worry about this constantly, but i've heard the phrase that one choice can change everything in the blink of an eye? So if i choose one thing, wouldn't that mean it could wind up changing my whole future? That's what i've thought for so long. I know many people have told me that if you choose any path it is not "wrong" because if you wind up there God has put you there for some reason. But still i feel like i'm doing something wrong and i don't know why. Whoever is reading this, i please ask you to pray for me. Help me in praying for all of my anxieties and burdens be lifted up so that i may find peace and the truth in all of my decisions. Lord I am asking you right here and right now that i need this, i need to have all of these things lifted from my shoulders because as of right now i am stuck within a rut, torn between things, i need you lord....Please hear my cry! i need your hand to lift me up, life is getting tuff for me right now...Amen :)
