let it snow let it snow let it snow

Day two of snow days, will we have luck and school get cancled for three days in a row?!!!? PSHHHH!!! NO WAY!!! so school will resume tomr... i have to work in the morning. 6 in the morning...

so today was great! we went sledding! i will leave some pictures but they're already on facebook. but i'll put some on here agian with some commentary. 

here we are before we started to sled. as you can see shaina and dawson couldnt even walk to the hill, they are already snowy...

and im waving because i want to say hi to everyone look at the picture.

Picture of me and ben. i thought it was cute. i may frame it someday! 

To everyone who knows ben pretty well this is no surprise... he is ramping the tube. he was sooo high and went so far! best out of everyone by far!

For example... this is shaina and laura trying to ramp...

and this is the landing.... laura fell on her head, she had a head ache for a while.

last picture i'm gonna share with xanga... me and my roomie, aw!

yay for snow days!!!!

time for the bad part... my computer is broke.  my dad is gonna fix it this weekend, but if that doesnt work and i have to pay to get it fixed, ben said i could use his credit card that has 1000 on it and get a cheap one that will last 2 more years.  and i can make payments on it because i have a job. and payments of $40 a month and i can pay a little more so i spend less money in intrest like 50 or 60 a month. i make 105 every two weeks plus gma sends 40 a month, and i have a few hundred still in my bank account. but if i can get away from doing that i will. if i have to spend money to fix this one, i'll just buy a better one for like 600. well... thats all for now.

someone better put a comment because my last one didnt get much.

Ps. sorry for the bad grammer mom.

Thanksgiving

Hey all! I'm annoyed... I was gonna write a post just saying I need thanksgiving break to be here like, NOW! But instead, I'm gonna vent a little bit. I'm tired of people skiping over thanksgiving straight to Christmas. Christmas is an amazing holiday, I agree, but so is Thanksgiving. A day to be thankful for what we have.  Family, friends, food, shelter, school, and church are some things I'm thankful for. Why can't we just take life a little slower and think about Thanksgiving while it's the holiday now, not Christmas. Christmas is coming up, but its not here yet! In our bathroom stalls, we have a dry erase board with a question on it, new question is on it every week.  This week it is, "What do you want for Christmas?" COUGH! How about something about Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving break? Everything around campus is about Christmas. Toy drives and clothing drives I understand and I've supported already, so when it is Christmas time the unfortunate children of Anderson, Indiana have something at Christmas. That can not be postponed because that needs to be done so the dilivery and everything can take place, which I understand. But decorations already? I guess I'm just a ba-humbug! Here are 5 things I'm most thankful for. They're not in any specific order.

1. My dad for always putting his family first. He works everyday so we have a nice home and food, plus other fun stuff! He loves me, and I'm thankful for that. I love my daddy, I am a daddy's girl.

2. My mom for always being there for me to talk to. She is the most suportive person with anything that I do. She loves me, and I'm thankful for that. I love my mom, and thats why this post is in proper grammer... we'll most of it.

3. My boyfriend Benjamyn is so great! He is here for me for everything. Keeps me accountable, and we have the so much fun together. I'm thankful that I've found the one already. I love my Benjamyn.

4. My church family is also great! They are so happy to see me when I come home from school. I feel the love when I walk back into my home church. The goodies they sent me here were awesome! I love them for loving me and because they let me know how important I am.

5. My baby Bella. She has no idea who I am what-so-ever (RIGHT NOW!) but when I come home, she has no problem jumping on my lap and giving me tons of kisses!!!

P.S. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

 hey all, ben said i needed to have a real update, so here it is.

 I have had a rough past couple of weeks.  This is how it all begain.... (chime sound and pink surounds the ouline of the imagination box)... Ben told me to ask my parents if i could have a dog, because there was a yorkie mix on anderson's raven net classifieds. so i call my mom and she okays it but said i had to ask my dad. i though oh geeze, its over, i'll never get this dog.  so i call him and he doesnt answer, doesnt answer, and doesnt answer. well finally he called me back and this is how the conversation went:

me:  now dad, this is very important, i have to ask you a question and u have to say yes to it.

dad:  ur not getting an animal

me: BUT DAD! ITS FREE, AND YOU WOULDNT HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING, AND SHES ONLY A YEAR, AND SHE WOULD GET ALONG WITH MAX, AND she would have to stay at home while i was at school.

dad: (sigh) mom is laughing at me in the background...

me: its because she wants her too!

dad: i guess

me:  what?!

dad:  you can get her...

me: THANK YOU SOO MUCH I LOVE YOU!!!!!

and so i called the people selling her and the husband picked up and said that his mom might want her but he wasnt sure and handed the phone to his wife so i talked to her and she was all for it and we made a meeting place so i could meet Bella.  me and ben went out because we wanted to buy her a new collar and leash, so we were in petsmart and we were in the isle and looking at pink ones for her and the wife called me and said her mom wanted the dog and that i couldnt have her. i was devistated....

a week later she called me while i was in class so i listened to it when i got out of class and she said i could have it again!!! i was pumped! they brought her over to my dorm on thursday right before we left to come home and she was PERFECT! i love her so much! on our way home she cuddled withi me and played with me.  about 30 minutes till we got home she got sick. we stoped and she played in the grass with ben while i cleaned it up. she was fine after she threw up. we surprised his family and mine. they loved her!!!

then when we were coming home, when we left, my dad and mom said that she cried when we left. i miss her already. here are some pictures. if u dont think shes the cutest thing, then ur crazy!
