Friday 6/26- We drove the long drive to Norwalk, Ohio to go to the NHRA drag races. It was a lot of fun. Then the next stop was Lake Eerie, we were in Sandusky just across the way from Cedar Point. Then we made the long drive back home. We were so beat afterward!!

Sunday 6/28- Danny and I made a run to his Grandma's house in Edwardsburg. Then when we got back we played a little Super Mario All Stars, old school i know. Then we packed corn hole up and went to Shannon's. Danny spent the first hour we were there with Jake and Shannon's dad working on the filter for the pool. Shannon and I played a little corn hole and played in the pool for a bit. They finally got the filter going and Jake and Danny got in. Before long Shannon's dad came out carrying pizza. So nice. I had asked my mom to bring up some pool supplies, and she did which we appreciated very much. Goggles, snorkels and tubes. It was beyond fun. We swam until 10, so much fun! Then unfortunately Danny had to leave tonight. He only has 1 class and 3 months left. And he will be back the 11th of July.
I have to say that this has been an awesome 9 days!!!

Beach

Danny and I went to Silver Beach in St. Joe, MI. We didn't get away as early as I would have liked but it was still good time. It was super hot out today so it was a good day to go to the beach. I was prepared to pay $8 to park, but when we got there, there were 2 parking lots that said "Free Parking All Day", so i tried to find a place to park, no luck. There was a spot that Danny thought I could squeeze into it, so as I was rounding the corner, a woman was pulling out of one of the front parking spots and we did not hesitate to take it. We had a very long walk to the beach, and the sand was super hot when we got down to it. But we found a less crowded spot on the beach and set up our stuff, then it was into the water. The water felt amazing. I love the water, i could spend every minute in the water. After about 3 hours we decided it was time to come home. So we packed everything up and made the long trudge back to the car. Finally back at the car we headed for home. Today was a good day of time with Danny, sun, water and relaxation.

Tomorrow my parents Danny and I are going to Norfolk Ohio to the NHRA drag racing.

Hot

It is unbelievably hot outside! Yet Danny and I are still going to brave the heat and play some corn hole and probably go float in the creek. Floating in the creek is an awesome time. You start at Cr. 6 or however high you want with your tubes or rafts and float down. You have to avoid the branches and trees down across the creek, but it is a lot of fun. Danny and I have been wanting to buy corn hole for a long time now, and it went on sale at Menards.

I have also as of today sent in my application to Southwestern Michigan University to study Environmental science. It feels like a huge relief to know that i can go to a school that has the program I want. Now it's just a matter of figuring out financial aid and all surrounding it. I'm kind of at my wits end about school and where to go and what to do, it's so frustrating! But whatever is meant to be with school will be.

Toay was good

Today Jake Shannon and I went and floated in the creek. Well first off I'm house/dog sitting for my neighbors perry and vicki. They have 3 big labs Cheeseburger, Kiwi and Coconut. Shannon and I went to Walmart when she got off work. And then Jake and Shannon came over and we went to perry's and sat in the creek for a bit. Shannon was looking for rocks and jake and I were walking around. Then we decided to go and get rafts to float down the creek with. My dad blew them up for us and we went down to th creek. We just did a little ways first, we got in by the fence separating the apartments and floated down to perry's. It was fun so we decided to go a little longer distance. So we packed up in my car and drove to the 7-11 on Cr. 6. We got out and walked through someones yard to get in the creek and avoid the tree blocking the creek. We got in, Shannon was having trouble on her raft so we had a sort of slow start. Jake was being crazy screaming, but it was funny. It was a long way back to perry's but it was fun. Although we were getting scraped up pretty bad. But it was a lot of fun. Then my mom took us back to my car and we went and got little ceasars, yummy. Then we just kind of hung out at my house for a while. Such a fun evening!!!

Now time for bed. I have to get up at 730 to let the dogs out, then work at 1045, then babysitting at 7. Busy day tomorrow. 4 more days!!!!

Thursday and Friday night

So the last 2 nights have been awesome!!!

Thursday-There was a new and used car sale at the Elkhart Airport this weekend. Shannon has been wanting to look at a Jeep Liberty so we decided that we would go and look at some cars. We got there and started in the back row of cars where all the trucks and SUV were. I found an Equator that I really liked but it was kinda weird. So we walked around we found some Liberty's then we found THE car! A Jeep Compass we sat in every single seat and opened every possible door. We LOVED that car!!! Oh and we got free popcorn and water! We went to Taco Bell after wards and got Fruitistas and sat and ate them. Then we went back to Shannon's and watched So You Think You Can Dance. Fun inexpensive night!!!

Friday- I got up at 6:00 and my mom and dad and I were on our way to Warsaw for my aunt and uncles garage sale. We got down there and started setting up tables and then it was time to start. Eric had a lemonade and candy stand. I maned the money box today and it was pretty fun. Although my math skills were kinda off today. But then we went to Goshen and went to Michaels and Target. Then home to eat and go to the Everyday Sunday concert at Crossroads church. The concert was really fun and good. Abbey Olinger came with us, Shannon and I went up to the front with the 12 year olds (haha) and stood up there for a while. It was a lot of fun!!! And the band is really good!! Best part..it was FREE!!!

PA and Beyond

So I haven't posted anything since my trip to PA. I had an awesome time out there. It was quite lonely when he went back to school on Tuesday after memorial day. While I was out there I pretty much stayed in Danny's room because of his roommates. But when he was in class for 9 hours so I took advantage of the empty living room. I went and watched the sun go down several nights. Danny would come back for lunch which was nice. Then he'd be gone until around 2am, then sometimes we would go hang out with some of his friends. One morning we didn't even get back to his room until the sun was rising. Those are the hours I pretty much have at home, only i don't sleep all day. In fact barely sleep. Danny and I spent memorial day at the lake with his family which was nice. Then he went back to school. I think I am still recovering from those hours and trying to get back to normal hours, whatever those are.

Now that I am home though I have been thinking about school. I don't think Interior design is the right thing for me. Right now I am just wishing for a simple answer. I want a magic coin that I can flip and it will tell me what the right thing to do with my life is. Because I really don't have an answer right now, and I need one very soon. I do know that I don't want to go back to Ivy Tech, I need something a little more challenging. I just need to find the right place to go, some place with a good science program. Environmental, or biology something in that field.

I am going to watch That 70's Show and think about the whole school thing and many other subjects. : )
