FORWARD

My creative juices are following and summer weather has started to show itself and so Katie's getting excited...this post will be about the things I'm looking foward to most!!

1. The Rents are Coming the Rents are Coming!

No they're not bad like the British, but we are sounding the alarm in getting things ship shape before their arrival. I'm excited to see them and have them witness one of my greatest accomplishments...graduation...which brings us to our next item...

2. Conflatulations

When I was little and they called us the class of 2009, my eyes got big and I thought to myself...."I'll never make it there! That's such a big number!" But now, here it is, 2009 and I'm a week away from graduating from college. It's gonna be a long day, but a good one.

3. Mac-Tastic

I have been without a computer for months. The rents are kind enough to get me a new mac book for graduation! Come to think of it...when I graduated high school I got my first one. Me and my new friend will have fun online shopping together...oh wait...gotta save money!

4. New Boots for My Ride

Refer to the blog title picture and you'll see what I'll be learning to do this fall. These boots are my first gift and hunting attire. BUT I will wear them with regular clothes too because that's how I roll and that's why I'm different.

5. Got the Schlitts

Rowdy and I plan on making a weekend trip down to New Braunfels and have fun at Schlitterbahn Waterpark....maybe we will float the river too...

6. "The Lupe"

Nothing is more fun than floating the river with friends and a cold one on a warm summer day.

7. Steve Erwin Adventures

A summer with my jeep...the top down and wind through my hair. When I was driving it down the road today I got a big smile on my face and loved my new ride more than ever. I went mudding in it Thursday and got it stucl. Adventure #2 was a blast (Adventure #1-Lake Kickapoo). I will add little things to it a bit at a time.

8. Play Ball

Texas Rangers games are a must in the summer and fall. Rowdy, Thomas, Andrea and I will take a weekend to visit the ballpark, enjoy the food, game, and Six Flags.

9. Big "Skies the Limit"

My graduation trip will be fly fishing with my mom and grandpa in the beautiful state of Montana. I'm excited to relax and learn something new, Plus, spend time with people I care about.

10. Bambi Watch Out

Yeah...on my "100 Things I Want to do Before I Die" List, it's to kill a deer. Let's make us happen.

*NOTE- Richie Bates has two phrases on this page that I need to give him credit for...I thought about him when I was writing them...so don't think I took them as my own:)
"conflatulations" and "new boots for my ride"...a rap rich loves to sing.

Great Weekend

Well, this whole not having a computer this is cramping my style. I can't upload pictures or listen to music or surf the web or even work on homework at home. It hasn't stopped me from having fun but I wish I could share my pics of the times I have. So, these images are not my own, but its what I gotta work with until graduation.

This weekend Rowdy and I took the new jeep down to Lake Kickapoo where we rode with the top off and chased the storm on some gravel roads. The lake water was really low and there was a fog and haze the whole weekend and some mist in the morning, but it was great. We fished, I played with the dogs throwing them big sticks in the water and we played some spades and poker. We are serious about our game of spades. Into the wee hours of the night, we busted out some great games...i feel asleep at the table after I lost poker haha.

Some friends joined us and we ended up hanging out with them all weekend. We golfed and had brisket tacos on Sunday.

Many things were confirmed this weekend... 1. I love my Jeep, 2. Rowdy is great, 3. I'm gaining some happy pounds, 4. I've done more fun things in 3 months than I did in a year and a half with Fatty Boom, 5. I'm a different, better person, 6. I love R Dogs family and I think they like me:), 7. I listen to country and kinda like it, 8. I play a mean card game, 9. I feel free, 10. I love my life

My New Friend

My first CAR that I've owned...I'm sure I learn to hate the payments, but I feel a sense of independence, happiness, jitters and thrill at the purchase of my 2001 Jeep Wrangler Sport. I have yet to give it a name. I'm sure my new friend isn't too fond of me at the moment as I have learned to drive stick in less than 24hours. I'm learning quicker than I thought I would but I'm still working out the kinks as I jerk in and out of first gear. BUT, it reflects my personality and spirit and I'm excited at Rowdy's idea to take it to the lake this weekend:) He was proud of my choice and said I did a great job, which means a lot coming from him. He speaks the truth...if he doesn't like it...he says so or nothing at all..but usually says so haha. I like that about him. OKAY, back to the jeep...It's a great deal that I found and I thank my parents for helping me out on the details. I also thank Tim for going and laying out the negotiations...he always looks out for me. And Lenny to be there for support while I signed the papers. Don Washburn was my sales guy and God knew I needed a kind spirit and helping hand in the process. I couldn't have asked for someone nicer or more helpful...you need a car go to him...plus I get $100 if you do! It was a great first experience.

My Belbin'

shelby came into my life in the 6th grade. I remember seeing her at the pet store where I volunteered. She was the most shy and timid puppy i had ever seen. It was shelby or a golden retriever...duh, shelby. Her and mom would greet me at the front of the school every sunny day. People would try to pet her, she would bark of course. But when she saw me, she became a totally different dog-confident and happy. I remember I would cry EVERY time I had to leave her. She came with me on my big move to Texas. At the beginning, she was my only company and would snuggle with me as I would cry myself to sleep. Bark if anyone was around. and pawed at me when she wanted to be pet. On Friday, at 11 pounds and 11 years old, she passed. I stayed with her. I didn't want her to leave this world alone. I wanted to be by her side, just like she was always by mine. SHe was my first dog and I will never forget her fur everywhere, her bark, her teeth that stuck out or her rubbing up against the couch. I wish I would have seen her go in better conditions, but it was her time. SHe was my best friend, even if I didn't always treat it that way. I stare at her food bowl a lot. Love you shelby.

She's Back and She's Different

Well, I couldn't resist the urge of starting another blog. I don't have a specific topic for the blog by any means, but I do know that I'm different than I was before. I feel better, stronger, smarter and happier. I will update on things that I like, don't like, laugh at, cry at and talk about the things I do. I know I won't have many followers, but I just like different ways to keep in contact and vent if needed.
