Now we're talkin

Last weekend was nuts! they say i got a break from school...but more or less i got to be a shadow for 3 days. i got to follow Emily around for 3 days and take pictures for her. i had a blast! in order for some of you to understand the relationship ship me and Emily have i'm going to have to go back a ways.
Beatty's moved to new ulm 12 years ago. we road the same bus to school every day and me and martha( my best friend) became close. though out the years our family found out that we have a lot in common. their oldest son matt would give my brother rides home from wrestling practice. our dad's would talk wrestling all the time. adam (my older brother) and emily (martha's sister) were in the same grade. we all were in 4h and showed cows together. we now take a family christmas picture every year well all 6 of us kids...and any girlfriends/boyfriends, and this coming year we'll have a husban to add to the picture. I've known the Beatty family to be my "other" family.
ok...now you know a little bit about how we know each other. so when it came to the wedding we all were involved. adam was an usher, my parents were host at the reception, jill helped out with all the little odds and ends, and i was emily's shadow taking pictures for her for 3 days. it was so much fun...i took way to many pictures for her. and it was a lot of fun!




since the weekend i've been trying to take it easy...monday that didn't happen...i had a paper due...a speech to give....and a drawing that was due....although the rest of the week has been fine. fact be told...i'm going to take a final look at the apartment that i'm going to be living in next year today...yah me!

this weekend on saturday i'm going to the art museum with some friends...i've got to go for a class...but it should still be fun.



till the next time i'm bored in class and feel like typing....later

Happy Turkey Day to All!

i just thought i'd put this up to wish all a happy thanksgiving. let's not forget all the things that we are thankful for...friends...family...life...all of which God has given to us. I'm putting up a chanllange for all of you...everytime you say happy thanksgiving or hear someone say it, say a little prayer thanking God for everything he has given us.


I'm thankful for all of you!

Break...what break? I don't get a break

so i'm leaving for home around 1 today for thanksgiving break. but i like to call it thanksgiving chaos. yes that's right. i really don't get much of a break. i go home today just help get last min. things ready for em's wedding on saturday. then tomorrow i hopefuly get a little bit of a break but knowing em, i'll be helping her with stuff again. and i know a lot of my friends from high school want to get together tomorrow night. thursday is turkey day...which for all your reader...HAPPY TURKEY DAY to you. friday i'm taking pictures of the set up and being em's shadow for the day...takeing pictures the whole time. the saturday the day starts early. i'll be taking pictures the whole day and night. to be followed up the present opening in which i'll be taking pictures yet again. ya...let's just say i think i might need a break when i get back.

I have found my calling

yes that's right...dodgeball! tonight for the APP after CRU we played dodgeball. man did it bring me back to the good old days of gym class back in high school. and yes i've still got it. nothing could stop me. in one of the games i was the last one out there for my team...it was me against 4 guys and 1 girl. i ended up winning it for my team. i had fun! after being sick all week...it's just what the doctor called for. nothing can bring a girls spirits up like hitting people with big balls. more so when they don't see it coming and start to get scared when they see me with one.


ain't nobody going to bring me down tonight

Be my guest....

So for anyone who doesn't know...my little sister jill was in our high school muscial this past weekend. so i did the big sister thing and went and watched like a good big sister would do. she did a great job. one thing that i got a big kick out of was the fact that i can still remember all of the kids in the musical running around when they were all in kindergarten. i'm not even that old...but watching all of them growing up and being on stage and all of that...wow.

i remember when i would watch the movie beauty and the beast over and over and over again. now i'm 20 and i'm watching my sister and all of her friends performing it. it kinda brings a confusing smile to my face. i'm what you call a proud big sister.

i guess it's just how i am

so i noticed this weekend when it was nice out....when i'm up at school i'm lazy. at home i get out and do stuff....like going for a 5 mile bike ride just so i can clear my mind. up at school....i just get pissed. i don't have a bike up here...and i always just find it easier to sit in my little dorm room rather than going out for a walk or something like that. lazy lazy lazy lazy. i've got to think of something to get me out and about.

other than that...let's talk about how i'm getting back and forth to and from school this weekend...i'm just praying something works out...i'm getting home...getting back up might be a different story.

for any aftist out there....you any good with carcole? cause i'm not and well i'm kinda trying to finish a project and it's really kinda sucking....dang contrast....grrrr

HOME!

i'm going home tomorrow! I've got 3 weeks of dirty clothes...mom's going to hate me...i love it. you see i'm one that doesn't drink up at school. and for thoes who know stout...there isn't a whole lot going on up here on the weekends unless you want to go uout to a party and drink. i'm not one to do that. and it's not so bad if my roomie katy stays up here with me...but she goes home a lot too, to see her sister. so i usually go home a fair amount on the weekends. but since i totalled my car that isn't always an option. so now i'm going home...one of my friends is dropping me off in st. peter and someones picking me up and getting me the rest of the way.

i'm getting out of here! everyone be happy for me!
