The Ground is Being Rewarded

Rain, rain, go away, come again another day...

It's been raining practically non-stop over here. The grass is all squishy from drinking it in, and everything is clean and pure-looking from the continueous washing.
Things are getting ready to end over here. But before they end and life gets easy, it's gonna get a whole lot more diffecult. Dance has only a few weeks to go and then it's over. School will be done on the tenth... That'll be so nice.

You lovely people all need to come to my dance performance on the 13th and 14th of June @ 7:30 both nights. I probably told you all this before, didn't I? Geeze, what can I say? dance has been such a huge part of my year.

Today will be the test. Can I go through this evening and last? Wednesday night is always my challenging night, because that's when I have the most dance classes, which are the most challenging ones.

I need to stop worrying. Man.

There's A Place In My Memory...

Every time I walk our hill leading up to our house, I subconsciously take a deep breath and pause at a certain place. I just realized for the first time that I was doing this yesterday when I took a deep breath and could not yet smell the flowers. In the summer the chokecherry blossoms on the trees surrounding that area are in pearly white bloom, and it's like breaking into a world of vanilla senses when you walk in the cove. I was expecting them. The blossoms aren't here yet, but they'll come. I’ll be ready.

I Gotta Tan/Burn Today!

You heard me. No more white legs.

Spring Is Here!

I've been waiting forever, it seems, to pull out the shorts and SPF lotion, and it looks like I can finally do so! This afternoon there will be a high of 87, and tomorrow, 91. THEN, on Saturday, they predict a high of 92! Waahoo! Now THAT's what I'm talking about!

So anyway... I just wanted to let you all know that summer has finally decided to grace us with his presence here in Chiloquin, Oregon. Thank goodness!

Oh yes, since the pictures aren't at all high-quality, I decided to have fun and so I tweaked them a little in Picasa, so... Yeah.

This Is My Hair-cutting Proof

Here it is, Folks. The all-telling picture of a very unhappy 5-year-old gazing at "Born To Be Wild."

the title of my life

Notice in the "about me" section I've elaborated, and I've also added cooler titles to the photos at the left-hand side of the page. Anyway, not necessarily a huge difference, but what the heck, at least I did something! :)

I've been doing pretty well lately.

Dance has, as usual, consumes a larger part of my free time, and I've been enjoying it immensely! Extra practices are thrown at us randomly throughout May so we'll be ready for the performance on June 13th and 14th. You should all come to one, or both of them. They're at 7:30 at the RRT (Ross Ragland Theater) on the 13th and 14th, which is a Friday and Saturday. (Call 1-800-884-LIVE to get tickets reserved!) I would LOVE for you to come!! Anyway, so that's what's going on there...

On May 13th, or around there, I'm going to attempt to get my Drivers License! So that could either go good, or bad depending on... well, me. Ugh. That's stupid. I could use some prayer in this area. :D I love driving, though, so I'm hoping my love for it will rub off on the person who decides whether I pass or fail.

I can just see it now...

"So, uh... I'm pretty good at this, aren’t I? That was a smooth turn, wasn't it? Don't you like the way I looked over my shoulder before switching lanes? Good stop, eh? You like me, don't you? I'm going to pass this right?"

School: the continual struggle to be the best possible on many different subjects. It's going fine. I'm trying to get good grades so I can be accepted into a really good college. I have yet to decide which college or what degree I want to get, but hey, I've got a few years!

I'm soul-searching right now; trying to discover who I am, and who I want to be. It's an on-going struggle to stay content with myself and what God gave me; the whole "It's greener on the other side" type deal. I love life. But I can't love it too much... What??

I hope all is well. I know this is more like an update/letter, but I figured you guys might want the 411 on the most recent goings-on in my life.


Peace Ninjas.
