So we just got back from the white county fair and rodeo! YEE-HAW! we went with a big group of people and we all got dressed up all country like; hats, boots and all! after we visited all the animals i had to get my fair food must-have: sausage! yay! here is me with my polish sauage!

Then we went to the rodeo! it was so awesome.... everything from bare back riding, to barrel racing, to bull riding! but my favorite was the calf scramble! the little kids were sooo cute!

After the rodeo were going to go look at the amazing exhibits but the were closed! i was sad, but it was ok because we went and got a deep-fried twinkie!! it was amazing! yum! then we rode on the ferris wheel, and that was a lot of fun except for the carnie harassing nathan! all together it was amazing night! this was the perfect way to end a long and stressful week!

Wow so it has been a long time, over a month! ok well like daniel said i am no longer in abilene, but i am now in searcy, arkansas. yes though it is not that exciting it is wonderful! school is goin great, but it is really busy! club stuff is startin up and taking a lot of time! but it is goin good! i am excited about this semester and all the new members we will have at the end of it! i just hope the process doesn't kill me!

well hello again, it has been a long time since i updated so i figured i should!

i got back from Uplift on thursday. that was a long drive home! but i met my dear friend christy in dallas and we went out to eat! it was so good to see her and catch up! but Uplift was great! i learned a lot, a lot about people and myself. i learned that people you thought were so different from you are really very similar. i learned that you really have to put yourself out there and not care what others think. and things like that. it was an amazing three weeks and i hope i get to do it next year! i met and worked with so many harding kids that i had never met. it was awesome! ok and i have decided that i am going to have a lot more pictures so here is a picture of the counselors from the famous "camper counselor" game! Andrew, Mitchell, Nathan, Andy, Jon, Matt, Lara, Allison, Mel, Me and Stephanie...... we were awesome.

since Uplift i have just been hangin out at the house with the family and workin some. we leave on sunday to go on vacation for 12 days. the 4th of july was awesome. we had a big breakfast went to a parade had a cookout and watched fireworks! it was wonderful!

this is my niece Audrey. look at her in her stars and stripes! she is the CUTEST little girl ever!

thats all for now, like i said i am going to be putting a lot of pictures up.... hopefully
