sweetness!

so i just got doen with my last fair for 4-h. tear. i'm ubber happy i showed up at state fair this year. i had a lot of fun. made some new friends. got a new shirt. ate a lot of fair food.
you know some people think it's funny that i show cows. but for me it's something you can learn from. no matter how many times you show. every fair you end up learning something new. if it's something for showing or just something about others or about yourself, you learn something that you won't forget. this year it's that just because somthing doesn't work out the first time, doesn't meant that you should ever try it again. i also learned that i can be a leader and a follwer at the same time...it's all about working together.

i love it all!

same thing over and over

so for the past couple of days i keep thinking about one thing over and over again. where has my time gone? i can still remember this time last year. i was thinking a little about school and how it is just a few weeks away. i had been wishing i had gotten more time to spend with my friends before they all took off. i kept wishing that i'd find a guy up at school. i could never stop thinking about what the year ahead of my had in store.
now i'm in that same boat...the only thing that changed is i'm a year older. i look back to when people would tell me to have fun and enjoy life while i was young...i would just laugh at them and tell them they were all nuts. now i wish would have actually listened to them and slowed down. it seems like the older i get the faster time goes. i'll be back here in a year saying the same thing all over again very soon.

Sad times ahead

so i have a feeling for these next couple weeks i'm going to be on a big downer. all my buds are off at college...i however still have 2 weeks to go before i go back. i'm stuck here...home...not cool. it's starting to hit me that college is going to fly by so fast i won't be able to see it when it's here. and then i'm going to stuck out into the real world. my brother starts his first "real" job. well first job post college in the real world. it's all going way to fast. i think i'm going to freak...not really, but maybe a little. grrr

fyi---if i don't post much this week...it's because come wed. i'm up at the state fair till sunday...so if you're up there stop by the cow barn and look for nicollet county...i should be there...or at least my animal will be.

NEW:

new stuff is fun.
1. new hair cut
2. new hat
3. new jeans
4. new shoes

now does it really get any better than that?

And yet another day

so here's an update on how i've been since you've last heard from me. had fair...did good. got a state fair trip, and i'm taking it. with my cow of course. got to hang out with some really cool people today...matt and kryee for the most part of it...and dean and cindy and dani for a while too. fun! then i got to sit in a van by myself and think about everything. let me tell ya. i'm sick of thinking about everything so much. i really wish there would be an off button for your mind. o well...another day another dollor o wait that's not ture i didn't have to work today yet again.

now i'm super happy for the week to be over with...friday is my last day at work for the summer. saturday i'm haveing a party at the reiter's house...all are welcome. yes..me and andrew hermanson are having the party at reiter's. we need to mix it up a little bit. try and get a bunch of people together before everyone takes off again for school.

see you all on the flip side of it.

Great times

ok so this past weekend one of my brother's best friends got married. what a great day. our family got all dressed up. my brother was in a suit...and looked good...single women out there (wink wink)....i got to take a lot of pictures. all in all it was great. now comes the part were i talk about how i felt out of place. one...i hung out with all of my brothers friends cause there was no one there my age...not a huge problem. but there was still a age difference. 2...there were some many couples there...it reminded me yet again that i have no one. sad. 3...everyone was drunk...and that just goes to show that when guys get drunk they will hit on anything. o well...life goes on and i've got more weddings to come. inface i still have 4 or 5 more this year...nuts i know.

kick in the butt of the day goes to- bill the singer from the wedding who kept on hitting on me

my feet are wet

ok...so since it's rained so much this week i haven't been working a whole lot. which for some might be great...but i need the money for school. so i was happy to see it was not raining today when i got up. so i went to work and wash porta potties like i do all the time but today the water just didn't want to go where it should have. instead it wanted to go all over me....not cool. then after i wash everything i go to my boss and see what else there is for me to do...i mean i haven't worked since monday(because of the rain). "nothing...go home." i put in 2 and a half hours today that's it. not cool. and as far as next week goes i know i'll only be working 2 days cause i have to be at fair the other 3. o man why do things got to be that way. owell...now i vented about it...maybe i can drop it for a while now. life will move on...

my feet are still wet though.

Cow time!

yet another summer is starting to come to an end. you know how i know. fair is next week. that for me is always the first sign that summer is starting to wrap up. and yes fair time means cows. that's right i show dairy. and you know what i have a lot of fun with it. today i'm going to start washing and training them. yes that's right i have to train them. what, you think they just walk willingly? now when i told some of my friends from school that i show cows...they think it's the funniest thing they have ever heard. maybe it's cause they are all city kids? i'm a country girl. there is nothing like getting up at 3 in the morning and washing a cow just to have to sit there and watch them all day. and then show day getting to put on all white clothes just to show. i know i must sound nuts. but this is my last year and i really want to have a good time this year. infact if anyone want to come watch me show. i've got 3 show both next week. thursday is the ffa show and friday is the 4-h show and open class. i can't wait!
