I'm Back!

I got back at midnight on Sunday night, I had a lot of fun while I was there. On Thursday, my aunt took me to China town (I bought a Chinese shirt, dress and a fan there) then we took the trolley to the water front where I saw a lot of seals (it was pretty funny, there were a bunch that were fighting like dogs) and ate lunch. On Friday we played two games of putt putt golf (the first one my aunt won by 25 points and the second one she won by 15!) then we went and watched "Slumdog Millionaire" in a nearby theater. On Saturday we went to an amusement park on the beach where I got to have my first and second ride on a real roller coaster! We also played another game of putt putt golf, this one was more fun though because it was a little more like mini golf (and I tied with her on points). I will post some pictures as soon as I get them, we took pictures on her camera and I have to get them from her. We left for home at about 8:30 Sunday morning and drove until we got home with only breaks for meals and one break at a Wal-mart, I only ended up driving for about four of those hours though.

My Room

I have been sharing a room with three of my younger sisters for a year now (I had had my own room for a long time before that) and I am getting tired of my second littlest sister crying, night lights, sleep talking etc. so I decided to move up to the attic! My brother occupies the North side of the attic so I am going to have my own little room in the South side. Right now I am using three sheets stapled to the walls for a fourth wall and I have only gotten my bed in there so far but I will take pictures and put them up once I get all of the way moved in.

On Saturday my dad took me shopping and we bought a hope chest! I will put up pictures of it when I do my room pictures, it is made of recycled wood. All of the wood on it came from barns and things like that (there are little nail holes all over it) and it kind of looks like a chest for burying treasure in except that it doesn't have a lock or side handles.

I can't wait for you to see the pictures!

Just thought that I would let you know!

Rrrrrrrr!

Do you have anything that keeps happening to you that just really really frustrates you? I do, it is when my dog, Rhianna, gets loose and runs as hard and fast as she can down the road, taking the other dogs with her! No one can keep up with her and she knows that if my hands are full, I won't be able to catch her! When I put the dogs in their kennels for the night I usually have them run off of the leash straight from the pen on the drain field into the garage and into their kennels but Rhianna and occasionally Sebastian get the idea that they want an evening run. They look like little streaks of black when they run like that.

When Rhianna was little we didn't have a pen for our dogs and they were allowed to roam free in the house and outside so she hates being penned up all of the time (their pen is approx. 20x25 ft) so at almost every chance she gets, she runs off. When Sebastian runs off he stays in the yard but Rhianna has to run down the driveway and down the road. She is also the leader most of the time and if she starts running, the other dogs follow.

Sorry for venting on you readers, but I am just really frustrated with her doing that and making me have to use the leashes all of the time!

Starting out

For my friends who may be reading this, I have to warn you. I may not blog very often, my life can get really busy really fast. I haven't ever really thought about doing a blog, and I don't know if there is really anything that would be exciting to write about but I thought that I would give it a try.

I thought that I would start out with a little information about me. As you can tell by my blog address, I am the third of eleven children. I am the oldest daughter with 6 brothers and 4 sisters. I love animals especially horses, I own 3 purebred AKC Miniature Schnauzers and three cats. My family has three more cats, and in the past we have owned many different animals ranging from chinchillas to sheep. This past summer in July, I spent ten days in Germany on a short term missions trip. While there we placed tracts in mailboxes and also got to see a little bit of Germany.

As my first exciting thing to post about, I am going to tell you what I am doing next week! My oldest brother is in the Marines and is currently stationed in 29 Palms California. He is going to come home for two weeks, then will be going to Iraq for 7 months. On Wednesday February 18th, I am going to fly out to San Francisco, stay there with my aunt until Saturday or Sunday then he and I are going to drive his Camaro all the way home! I am getting really excited and can wait to go. The really cool part is it only costs $60.00 for the flight!

Well, let me know what you think about my post and please give me suggestions as to what I could write about!
