Sep. 24, 2008 I Need To Update
I know some of you are thinking,"About time!" Well here is an update on some of the things that have happened in the past few weeks.
Last Saturday, I went to a barn dance which was a lot of fun. I had a good time doing that.
From last Saturday to today, Mari Whichterself's mom was visiting my mom. With her, we went hiking up the Stanley Canyon Trail, we saw the Air Force Academy Chapel, and went on a nature drive around the academy where we saw turkeys, lots of deer, a skunk, and a black bear.
On Sunday nights we've been hosting a small group at our house (small group! there are about thirty-two people there). It has been a lot of fun.
Well, that is about all I have time for. Have a good night.

Sep. 1, 2008 Time To Update...
| I'm sorry I haven't updated in a long while. I've started school and been enjoying it. For my reading, I've been going through Don Quixote (a very funny book). For my math I'm going through pre-Calculus. In science, I'm going through Adv. Biology (also, I got an A on my first test).
This weekend, my grandparents and my great aunt are coming in from the south. We have a lot of stuff planned for them.
That's all for right now. have a good night.

Aug. 13, 2008 So Long, Wisdom
| I lost my wisdom on Monday (wisdom teeth that is). I'm still sore from the surgery and because my cheeks are still swollen, I look like a chipmunk. The worst should be past now, though.
This Saturday I will get to hike through Stanley Canyon. I'm very excited about it. I hear it is beautiful.
That is all for now.

Jul. 24, 2008 No Pictures... Just A Story...
It was during camp. The two units were Woodside and Lakeside. I was at lakeside that week. It was during the "Great Unit Games" on "Wild Wednesday". Woodside had four flags and would show off in front of Lakeside. We had nothing. Things looked bleak. Then we came up with an idea.
Some people gathered what they could find that made noise, a cowbell and an airhorn. A friend and I went and built two flags. We also got our horses ready. Some friends provided swords. Another made kilts for us. We got ready for the biggest show that occured during the "Great Unit Games".
A friend and I dressed in our kilts and mounted our horses. We got our flags ready and rode out onto the field while two people with swords drawn and wearing kilts walked in front of us. The Lakeside unit gave a loud cheer as we handed off our flags and galloped around. The cowbell was ringing, the airhorn was going off, and the crowd roared as we rode around.
We lost the games but it was one thing that I will never forget from my experience working there.
