The beach

Here is some of the pictures of the beach that I ahem ok hannah took during our florida trip.

I love the beach, the feel of the soft smooth sand between you toes.

Here we sat in our broken chairs soaking up the sun watching the waves ride in.......

....and this is what hannah did while sitting on the beach....

and she did this because she...well.... forgot her swimming suit. who goes to the beach without her swimming suit? apparently hannah.

Happy Father's Day

Well Happy Father's Day. I am trying not to be biased or anything but I think I have the greatest dad of all. We played golf together. That was fun. For a present me and Hannah pooled our money and bought my dad a new blender. It a really nice one and it had one of those with a glass cup instead of plastic. And know we're broke.

Wow it has been a while...

Yes yes I know you missed me. Thanks. Ok so you probably realized that I have been gone. I went to FLORIDA!! for about 2 weeks. It was a blast we went to Ft. Myers Beach which was stunningly beautiful and walked and walked and walked some more along the shore line. It was about 98 degrees everyday. I just about went through a whole stick of deoderant you could say. Then we made out way up to orlando. Visited Sea World, walked some more around there. It really is a great park there is lots of rides, shows, and exhibits. We saw a few shows, saw numerous exhibits. Then we headed off to Discovery Cove and got a chance to swim and play with dolphins. Yes real alive ones. We went swimming with them and of course they had to show off their tricks. At the same place we also went snorkeling in a coral reef which was a blast we saw tons of exotic fish and sting rays. It was really fun except when you swallow the sea water....not so fun. Anyway the next day we went to Sea World again saw some more shows and animals, walked around some more and ate ice cream. Then we headed of to Daytona spent a few days there, walked some more and then awww we actually just sat. Yes we did indeed. We sat on the beach. It was a beautiful sight, I should have taken a picture. We never ever ever...let me repeat we never ever ever sit not even for a second, we walk and walk and walk and walk some more until out feet fall off. But not this day no we awwww sat on the nice soft sand with towels and umbrellas, we went swimming and sat down again. We all got sunburned, well not all of us... Hannah sat under 3 umbrellas the whole time and lathered herself with 100 spf sunscreen. Ya I know. Well I guess she didn't get a tan. We stayed at hotel on the beach, listened to the ocean. Fabulous. Just Fabulous. Then we went out for ice cream again at Friendley's. Great ice cream . Really. I ordered vanilla with chocolate chip cookie dough. yum yum yum.

Finals

This I would consider to be the worst week of school. The week of staying up until 2 in the morning every day, the week of studying until your brains fall out, the week of taking test after test after test and only to realize your still no done. the week of sitting on your bed, slouched over staring at a book until your back can no longer move, the week of only getting up to use the bathroom, the week of only 2 meals a day, the week of reviewing and reviewing and more reviewing, the week of memorizing, yes, this is the week of finals.....

Congrats to....

She's gone

I problably should explain...

Yes I know I have been gone...for a little over a week now. It didn't seem very long ago since I last posted but it said my last post is on June 9th so I thought I would give you a quick update. During the past week my family has been taking turns going up to Michigan about 3 times. It's because of my grandma. She is not doing so well. They say she is a modeled color which means she is not getting enough oxygen, she hasn't responded to anyone, nothing, it is like she can't hear. I call her name...no response. Then the oddest thing happened the other day. I put my hand on the bed and she took my hand and squeezed it. That was all I needed. Something. I sign for me to know that she is there. Then she went back to her "normal" and acted like it never happened. Or like that took all her energy. Now all she she does is moan. They give her morphine around the clock and she never changes. She has fluid in her lungs now and is gasping for air. I hate to see her like this. All those time I would sit in her living room and she would sing to me about a little red fox and a big black bear. She would sing and sing until her voice grew tired. And now I sit here with tears rolling down my cheeks knowing that I will never here her voice again. I took it all for granted then and now she cant even squeeze my hand.

Triva Winner(s)

Well after reading all 3 of the comments. ahem. I have found that you are all cheaters. Yes, you are, for I actually went on google and typed in 'how long does a cat sleep a day' and what do you know, it said a cat sleep 13-18 hours a day. Well and you both got that exact same answer. ahem. I actually did some research and 3 out of the 4 websites said that a cat sleeps 16-18 hours a day. So know that I have two cheaters and a prize in my hand what is a girl to do? So here is the deal this time around I will let it slide and will give you the prize. The only problem is that there is 2 people and 1 prize. So then I would say well you can share it but knowing Hannah and Paige they would never share. Nope. So I guess that I just have to come up with two prizes now. They will both be the same lip balm back so you don't have to worry about it suddenly disappearing. Well now I guess it is time to say Congratulations. Altho, you are still cheaters.
