Saturdays

Saturdays...I love them. All day with no commitments. Friends, family...hmmm

Lawson is always picking up Emmaline, and that makes me mad. I don't think Emmaline likes it and always has a distant quiet look on her face. The fact that I don't like when people pick her up is probably the main reason Lawson picks her up all the time. Brothers.....
Here is a picture of me and Kelsie at the pool. I was a nice day for just sitting around. It had been hot earlier that day when we decided to go to the pool, but by the time we made it there it was a little to cool to swim, so we just sat around in our swimsuits with are feet in the pool and solved all the worlds problems.













One Saturday my Dad, Lawson and I went and played a little b-ball. I'm happy to know that I can still spank my brother at basketball. He may be taller, but I play a fierce game (haha!) He says it's only because I make him laugh so he can't concentrate but I say you have to use your natural talent to win a game...and if being funny is something I can use to win then it is totally fair.

I'm back in the states


My journey has now brought me back to the states. I brought my dog Emmaline with me. We had an uneventful flight and Emmaline did well traveling all day. We didn't get to Tennessee until 11:30 that night and I was exhaust the next day from having traveled, and the exhaustion from the weeks before of packing and leaving my home of the past two years. It was hard to say good-bye and leave. I plan to attend Columbia State in the fall, I want to study Creative Writing. I'm also going to be teaching Spanish to high school students through a tutoring program close to where I live. I want to keep running, and have gone several time with my brother, and a few times with my dad and sister. Emmaline is now an inside dog and she loves it. I have finally gotten my room settled and everything put away. I plan to keep updating my blog, but I have no idea what I'll write about. I guess I'll just let it take me wherever. Here are some pictures of my house and car, my three dogs (Emmaline is in the middle) and two pictures of me and my brother. I was going to put a picture of me and my sister up but Carli didn't like the picture and called me mean.
