Kind of Random

K Gretchie!! You want six random things. Let us see if I can do you justice.
1. When I was little I wanted to be a country singer. Not just any country sing, but Dolly Parton. Yes I know it is every little girls dream to look the same at 70 as you did when you were 20. Also who wants to fit in a shirt. My dreams turned for the worst as I got older. Up you guessed it the shirt doesn't just fit it is to big.
2. I was in prom royalty when I was a senior. Yep I stood up on the stage in front of my friends, in my pink dress and listened to them call some other girls name. I thought of running up and punching her in the face and stealing the crown, but it wouldn't be lady like. And, I am a lady.(I better not have a comment about that!)
3. One of my very favorite places to go is Yellowstone. One of my favorite places to go there is a little place called sea gull point. There is a picnic area that my family often stops at. When there I walk down to the lake by myself and sit and think. I can only sit there for so long because I always have this fear that a bear is going to bust out of the woods and eat me.
4. When I moved to the house we live in now I was not a fan of the school I went to. It is a little county school where everyone but me had been in the same class since first grade. They were very mean to me and made funny of me. So I became the funny kid. I did that because if I was the funny kid I would know what they were laughing at and I was fine with them laughing at me because I was funny.
5. I was cut from basketball twice when I was in high school. So instead of letting them get the best of me I became the basketball manager. Yep that is right. I filmed the games and got them water. The best part was on our senior night my senior year I got more cheers than any of the players. He He He!! Oh sweet revenge!
6. I love to speak in church. It does not freak me out at all. I have had to come up with quick talks on the spot and I loved it. It is the same way with teaching at church. I really do love to teach and help people better understand the gospel. It is one of my very most favorite things!!

Well I don't know if this cuts it but it is a little look into me!!

My Mom

Today on Mother's Day I am going to tell you all a little bit about why I love my mom. Mom is a party. On my Sister's profile on her station page there is a question that is asked. The question is what do you do when you need to laugh. My Sister put,"I call my Mom." It is so true. When I need a little pick me up I call my Mom. She has lived her life. Mom lives each day. It may not be a perfect day or even close to a good day, but she lives it. My Mom isn't perfect. I Mom has made mistakes in her life but she isn't afraid to let that stop her. Mom taught me to accept people. Differences are not bad.I love my Mom. This is a very short list. To end it I want to share one of the biggest reasons I love my Mom. She gave me the gift of the Gospel. She let me choose for myself. She gave me the chance I needed to learn about and learn to follow Christ. So she helped give me physical life as well as spiritual life!

The good old summer time!



I remember when I was little and summer meant playing out side everyday, going swimming, playing softball, and doing nothing. I don't know when it happened but summer is now going to school everyday, doing homework, working (not that I have a job right now, but if I wasn't in school I would), and never getting to do nothing. Why did I want to grow up? So this summer I am changing things up. Yes that is right I am putting my foot down. I know I still have to go to school and work, but I am going to make time to enjoy summer like I did when I was a little kid. I am going to go swimming, play at the park, go camping, and a host of other things. Now it has been a long time since I was a little kid. So I need a little help with making a list of things to do in the summer. So if you have any bright ideas by all means tell them to me.
1. Camping
2. Swimming
3. Golf
4. Playing at the park
5. Horseback riding
6. walk to the sno shack
7. Play fribee
