you should blog that...

it has become one of the frequent things i hear my sister say. so today, i will blog what she has recently told me to blog. and really i have quite a lot to say....

i work in the Taylor World Outreach office. everyday the nice mail man, Paul, comes in and sings to me. Usually it's "just the two of us. oh just the two of us" because usually the office is empty besides me when he comes in. but yesterday it was "sara, sara....." and then of course he tells me of the weather that i am either missing or glad to be out of.

in 3rd grade i had to go to the bathroom....unforunately i was terrified of my teacher at that point, so i waited. and waited. and waited until i could wait anymore and i peed my pants in class. instead of then going to her and saying "i peed my pants" i sat there until lunch...luckily by that time they were dry.

and one more thing.....my boyfriend's dad (who is very nice....just a bit anal about keeping his things nice. okay really really anal) has a boat on a lake in Indiana. it is a nice boat and they let me go play up at the lake with them....you know tubing, skiing, wave-runnering, you know...lake stuff. but you can't get the boat wet. the inside of a boat is not made to get wet....only the outside. so, if you visit the lake, don't get the boat wet.

so there you have it. the latest of what liz has told me to blog.

fixed!

my dad fixed my computer! so exciting. now i have a desk and a computer to do all my homework at. that makes me happy.

i leave for cornerstone in a week! ONE WEEK! it's like all the waiting that comes throughout the year.....is almost over. and now it's time to begin planning and getting super excited about it. it would be great if more people wanted to go...so if you want to, talk to me....i have tickets.

alright. now it's time to do some homework

Father's Day

so today was great. bit family afternoon at my grandpa's house.

cousins from all over. uncles. aunts. it was wonderful

the little cousins (9 and under) had landon, me, travis, and his friend Wendy (16-19) play Star Wars. Let's just say the big kids got beat up! Then we all went swimming.....FREEZING. and the little boys were shaking they were so cold...but they wouldn't get out of the water either because they were having so much fun. and little Wesley loves to give hugs. he is adorable. (probably about 4).

dad says i see too many movies. in the past 2 weeks or so i've seen The Longest Yard (twice), Hitch, Cinderella Man, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and Batman (twice). So what do you think? I've only seen the good ones!

alright. work is crazy.....and i'm very busy, so haven't had much time to blog. so sorry. now it is time for bed!

Harley...

so i took harley to the church softball game tonight. my big scared baby of a golden retreiver. he is simply adorable. he would hardly get into my car as we were about to leave...but finally he did. he seemed terrified at first, but eventually he began to calm down. he didn't do bad at the game at all. he seemed a little nervous, but eventually was alright. it was a good time. and the ride back he seemed very relaxed.

so the evening turned out great.

swimmmmmmmm....

so the girls came over today to swim.

fun in the sun....

......oh how i love the summer.........

hot hot hot...

i'm feeling hot hot hot. i'm feeling hot hot hot.

wonder if that is because i just came in from the yard and it's something like 90 degrees out there. oh...and i was actually doing some work too. i mowed part of the yard at the office and then i swept up some grass. i was only out for about an hour, but that is definitely long enough.

so yea. landon has decided to stop playing hockey. which means he will probably be back in muncie now. wow how things change. one day he tells me he has a blog, another that he's reading books, and then he's going to stop playing hockey. yikes-a-roo for big changes! but i think it's going to turn out just the way it is supposed to.

well i still need to clean my room, mow the yard, do my homework, get the branches at the office raked up. so yea. that is going to have to come at a later time....hopefully i get it done soon. so time for dinner with landon...and then time to do more work.

Skittles and Mountain Dew....

dad just came back from Walgreens.

he brought me skittles and mountain dew.
a 12 pack and 4 packs of skittles!

a delicious evening snack!

sunday....

so yesterday...i got up around 11 and somewhat cleaned my room. i have way too much work to get done in there and not nearly enough time. what-ev. around 2:00 was lunch time and a quick swim with Karen, Rajeev, and mom. lots of fun. the water was cold, but not too bad. so then we all headed to New Castle to go to Travis's open house (my cousin). I stayed until about 5:30. I then headed over to Tony's open house. got there about 6 as it started to rain. Didn't end up staying too long as most people left soon after i got there and the rain came.

then a group of us headed to the Albany house. we sat around for a good hour and a half deciding what to do....like usual. but then we decided to watch Dodgeball which is a funny movie.

landon and i started talking about everything about 10:30....at 11:30 mom called and i said i'd be home soon. at 12:00 i said i should go...but we kept talking. and 12:15 we headed towards the door as landon said "oh...one more thing" and we ended up talking until 1:10. we talked about just about everything. everything from church and what we believe to him not playing hockey anymore. it was a huge night. and even though things might change, that's alright. finally we left and i knew i would soon be asleep. that was nice. but it was very good to talk to him for so long especially since we've been so busy we haven't gotten to talk a whole lot.

13 people.....

and one movie. After Brittany's open house 13 of us went to see The Longest it was good. I had also seen it on Friday night with Liz and Stuber. But being with that big of a group was a lot of fun. hardly ever happens, but it was a good time.

i wish landon could have been there, but he's at a hockey try out. i hope this one turns out the way it should. but he does have 2 more this summer. i hope he makes one....i know it's his dream.

so today is tony bell's open house and my cousin travis's open house. oh...and the massive cleaning of my room. yikes. i should go get started on that one.

i want a puppy....

yes i do.

free ones in Marion.
then there is puppyfind.com

oh no. i want one real bad. can't have one yet.

i must wait.

hehehe.

the summer....

I've realized how busy this summer is going to be! yikes. I'm looking forward to it though. I am definitely not going to be bored. so yea.

i've realized that there is so much that i want to do. i want to graduate from college and i want to have a dog. i want to make something amazing. i want to have a job that i love. i want to have scrapbooks full of pictures. i want to make my own clothes. i want to have a knitting club. i want to make things. i want to play the piano. i want to be organized. i want to have the girls come over all the time. i want to make pizza and watch movies all night long. i want to make this summer so full i'll have memories to last a lifetime.

so yea. i can't do all that this summer, but i'm planning on doing the things i always say i want to do and then never do. so here's to doing all that.

now back to a great old X-Files episode!
