A Sad Farewell
The Sunday before New Years eve (2008 of course), we came home from visiting my grandma. When we pulled up into our driveway, I called for my dog Ranger. I called and called, but he didn't come. I figured he was roaming the neighborhood as usual. But my little dog (Amy) was at home, so that was unusual for Ranger to be roaming without Amy. I didn't think much of it though.
I went inside, and got on the computer (but unfortunately I wasn't blogging :P). Then the phone rang. My dad answered. "I got some bad news," He said after he got off the phone. "The person that called said that his daughter just hit Ranger (with her car) and he's dead." :O :( :O OMG I couldn't believe it! I went upstairs to my room and laid on my bed, while the boys went to get Ranger and bury him. Dad got his collar (which for some wacky reason was broken), and gave it to me.
Here is a slide show I made of him:
Fostering
New Years eve, we got another foster puppy!! She is soo cute! Her name is Trix (but we called her Trixie). Trixie is a golden retriever mix. She was so playful, and played with Amy quite a bit! Here are a couple pix of her. Ok, more like five, but they were all so cute, I couldn't choose just a 2 or 3 :P
Trixie biting my hand
She got scared of the vacuum cleaner, and climbed into the shoe box :P
Amy nicely sharing her basket with Trixie :)
Trixie was fun to have. Despite the fact that everywhere I turn in the house, I found a poopy mess. And when I finally think I got all the messes, I turn around and find another one! *sigh*. Amy loved her. They played like all the time :) Fortunately, she got adopted and went to a really nice home to a seven year old boy on February 5th.:)
New Years Sleepover
So, New Years Eve (Wednesday) of 2008, I had five of my friends come over and spend the night for a New Years sleepover. It was fun! That was the first day we got Trixie, so we all went up to my room (which was pretty much clean then. But now... it is a total wreck!) and played with the puppy. Then we took the puppy downstairs, and got my bunny, Lily, and let her hop around my room.
I can't remember what we did until midnight.. but at midnight, we got our blowy noise maker thingies, and blew them. We also had those popper confetti things. I accidentally popped mine before 12 though :( I have had those confetti things for like 5 or more years! LOL cuz every Fourth of July or New Years, I'd forget I had them. But I finally got to use them. Yay!!
Right after we did the confetti, we ran outside to the trampoline to jump on it. We jumped on it, counted to 3, then screamed "HAAAPPYY NEEEWW YEEEEAAARR!!!!!!!!!" Good times, good times. At some point we went out to the pasture to scare the horses, but there wasn't enough of us, so it didn't really work.. It was freezing, so we went back inside. I can't really remember anything else we did. I don't have any pictures because my camera was broken then ad was getting fixed :(
Moving on....
Basketball
I don't think I told you this, but I am doing basketball this year! I finally got the nerve to play :) I am playing at a church that is like 2 1/2 minutes away from where I live. It is also two churches down from the church I go to.
There isn't enough girls to make two teams at the church (I'll call it WC cuz that's the initials), so women play too. I didn't realize how much fun basketball is until I played this year. :) Saturday, February 28th is the last game :'(. I wish we could play through the summer. The older guys get to play basketball every Tuesday night throughout most of the year, and us girls might get to do that too :D
RODEO:
Saturday, February 31st; I went to a rodeo with my mom. That was fun! I got to see bull riding (for the first time in person), team roping, cattle roping (is that what it's called?), barrel racing (:D), and bucking bronco. I took a lot of videos, I might post here later. Or on my Valley blog (which, BTW, I posted on). I don't know.
Superbowl party
As you all probably know, February first was the day of the Superbowl. The church had there annual Superbowl party. But for those who didn't want to watch the game, they had set up a movie in the old sanctuary. We watched the now popular movie "Fireproof". And omg, that was an AAAWWWWEEEESSSOOOOMMEEE movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EVERYone should see it! Especially married couples. It is so cooL!!!!! I STRONGLY suggest that you people who are reading this that has not seen the movie, SHOULD!
It is from the creators of the movie "Facing the Giants" and another one, I can't remember the name. The star of "Facing the Giants" is the director of Fireproof. About a week later, my mom rented the movie, and me and her watched it. Then right after we finished watching it, Luke came in and he wanted to watch it, so he sat down, and me and him watched it. LOL I watched it twice right in a row, and didn't get tired of it :D The bloopers are HILARIOUS cuz they play pranks on each other and it's so funny!
Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day I spent with Luke, Luke's girlfriend Stephanie (Steph), and Steph's 12 yr old sis Allison (Al). Me and Luke drove the 2 hours (well, LUKE drove. I didn't) down to Stephanie and Allison's house (actually their parents house, but you know what I mean). We hung out for a few minutes at their house. They have the CUTEST little puppy EVER!!!!! His name is Benny, and he's really small and REALLY cute. I will post pictures (via slide show) after I write about that day.
After seeing the puppy, Luke drove us (just him, me, Steph, and Al) to a park. We were walked around a little bit, then played on the playground and swung on the swings a lot. While we were sitting down, we saw a guy that looked about 18 carrying a rose. We figured he was going to give it to his girlfriend, so me, Stephanie, and Allison ran after him to follow him cause we wanted to watch :DWe followed him as he started along the path around the small pond. He kept stopping by the bench's and stuff and putting like a rose there (see first picture in the below slideshow). We were like, "What is he doing?" Stephanie decided when he came back she was going to ask him what he was doing. He came back. Stephanie asked him. He said, "I'm doing it for my girlfriend." As soon as he walked away; me, Steph, and Al said, "AAAAWWWWWW. How sweet!" I wonder if either he is going to propose to her, he screwed up (Luke's idea), or he's just doing it for Valentine's Day and because he loves her. IDK...
We left the park and went to the mall. We walked around, went in a few stores and blah blah blah. We bought a big pizza, and 4 root beers (in a glass bottle :D). After that, us girls wanted to ride the carousel. But Luke didn't want to. We finally forced him though :D
When we left the mall, we went to the move theatre. We bought four tickets to 'Paul Blart: Mall Cop'. We were stupid and didn't look at the time. The next showing wasn't for another hour and 15 minutes!!! So we sat at the movie theatre for over an hour. FINALLY, it came time for the movie. It was a pretty funny movie. Luke thought it was ok. He says it was too predictable. Which it kind of was... except for one part at the end, was TOOOTAALLY unexpected.
After the movie was over, we went back to Steph and Al's house. We hung out there for just a couple minutes, then we all (and their dad) went to wal-mart. Their dad stayed outside in his car, while the rest of us went in to get some stuff they needed. We met one of their cousins there, and at the mall we met one of their cousins there too. After wal-mart; we sadly had to part. :( So we said our farewells and parted.
Choir
This year, I am in the Easter choir for church. All the teenagers that are in it are: Caleb, Zoe, Miley, and Juliana, and me. We have had one practice so far. All of us besides Juliana (and Caleb of course) are Soprano. But me and Miley want to be Alto :( oh well. Not much to say here, so moving on!!
Fish
Yesterday, I got four fish! I got one fish that is exactly what ya picture when someone says 'goldfish'. He has a beautiful tail, and I named him Tad. Now Zoe and Caleb don't go jumping to conclusions. I did not name him after the Tad we know, I just LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the name Tad. It's my fav name :D
Then I have a small white fish with a little bit of orange on his head. His name is Fez from the show 'That 70's Show'. Fez is really shy and hides a lot.
Then there is Fabio [fa-(as in father)bee-oh]. He is a big white and orange fish that I got from the same tank as Fez. They are like best buddies. I got his name from my absolute FAVORITE part from the movie 'Finding Nemo'. It is the part where Dory is talking to the other fish and says "Oh, be easy on him. He's lost his son, Fabio". I LOOOOOOOOOVE THAT PART! LOL!
And the last one is a pretty small sucker fish (not the real name). His name is Alfonzo. I got that name from a quiz on FB (facebook). The question was 'what would you name your goldfish?'. So I bought a fish and named it that. LOL.
Summing up
Well, that about sums up the month and a half I've been 'breaking'. I will try my best not to EVER have that long of a break again. Unless I go on a loooong trip. Or I have no access to a computer. Well, I have to get out of this trash can without the blogging police seeing me, and I have to get ready for my last basketball practice, so I'll talk to you guys lata!!!!! Don't forget to vote on my poll, visit my valley blog (http://trainingvalley.blogspot.com/), and say random things to random people at wal-mart. BYE!!!!!!
