So, I suck at updating my xanga.  Sorry.  Umm... so my summer has been ok.  Last day of school sucked.  I almost died...literally.    State track ROCKED!  OMG it was like the funnest time ever.  Since then, hmm... I had two basketball shoot-out dealies.  The JV one was last Friday in Carthage.  We had 5 girls for half of it, and then we had another girl show up so we had one sub for two of the games.  Then Saturday was the Varsity one.  There were 7 of us then., which isn't a whole lot since Jordan Bell and I were like already dead from the day before.  But it was ok, nothing too bad happened.  Hmm, that night I went to the Guns' games.  That was fun.  Ronnie broke his foot though.   Ouch.  Hmm... I've been swimming quite a bit.   And I have like 4 different babysitting jobs.  I got peed on the other night.   haha... OH YA!  Wednesday night I went with Brittany and Katelyn to their softball games in Carthage.  It was fun.  Then on the way home we stopped in Lamar to get some food at Wal-Mart and we drove around for a bit.   Hmm... fun stuff.  Anyway at Wal-Mart we bought a whole bunch of junk food... 72 dollars worth!  hahahaha... That's kind of an insider w/ us I guess.  It was really only $22.  But whatev.   Tonight I have a family reunion to go to.  I haven't gone in a couple of years, b/c there are just a ton of little kids,  and then me, and then Dakota and some guys close to his age, and then a bunch of older people.  But this year Dakota is bringing Kori.    I didn't really have anything important or cool to say, just thought I'd update while I felt like it.  Here are some of the beautiful pictures from state. . .

Soo yaaaa... I'll put the other ones on here another time maybe.  I didn't save them to my computer.  Sorry... I hope you're all having a wonderful summer! 

So I really have absolutely nothing to say... Nothing too great has happened to me since I updated last.  Which was about forever ago, sorry.  Still no boyfriend.  But that's fine by me, boys have cooties and cause trouble.    School is almost over!!! YAY!  I'm about as excited as they come.  Except I'll be really busy this summer.  Hmm... track has been pretty fun.  I  people in track.  A couple people really bug me, but all the cool people cancel them out.  haha Tomorrow is the all-comers meet for the little kids, and Skeans asked if I'd help his daughter out in her sprinting events, so I'm pretty excited about that.  I love kids.  And then I have to leave early to go to the academic letter thing.  I hate dressing up, so I'm not looking forward to that.  Anyway... since this is about boring, here are some track pictures. 

Yep, that is me, at the Neosho meet, (after I ran the 400 meter dash for the first time against my will) throwing up in a stinky trash can.  I guess I'll be done now, maybe I'll update again before next month.

Kinda funny how I usually only do this on Sundays...   Sunday is the day I usually have nothing too important to do.  But today I woke up at 6:20 and Logan came and got me and then we went to Jessica's and then we all went to her grandparents' house to clean up stuff from the tornado that hit them over spring break.  We got paid, so that was good.   It was pretty hard work. lol

Yesterday was our first track meet!  I got 1st in the 100, and tied with Bailey Renae Bush in the 200 for 1st,  and then our relay team got 1st in the 4X1 and 2nd in the 4X2.  (We were the only JV team in the 4X1 and then there were two teams in the 4X2 lol)  But ya... all of my times sucked.   But whatever.

Hmm... nothing too exciting happened last week.  Except Bethany got her license Thursday!  That was a pretty fun time.  Her and Kori came and got Chelsie and I from track and then we went and met Heidi at Casa.  We got fried ice cream and Kori and Bethany had a whipped cream fight lol it was pretty funny.  OHH!  And when we left, we were going to Wal-Mart to buy some candy or something, and this guy started following us for like 15 minutes and everywhere we turned he would follow us and then we lost him and then he was like waiting for us in the front of Cash'n'Dash and we were like behind there and we were like stuck so we just went really fast hoping he wouldn't see us only he did and then he finally left us alone thanks to Jeremy Evans.

Yep... Did you know that Sonic has hot chocolate?  GOOD HOT CHOCOLATE!  wow.. lol except I burnt my freaking tongue really bad.  Last night I went to dinner & a movie at the track shack with all my track friends and watched a movie that I forgot the name of about Steve Prefontane.  Anyways I was really smart and wore flip-flops and so my feet like froze and when I went to stand up to leave like both of my legs were completely numb and I couldn't feel anything and it hurt. lol  Ya... it was pretty cold.

Tomorrow is the basketball banquet and the middle school dual with Harrisonville.  I guess I'm going to go to school, then practice, then go home really really fast and get ready super fast and try to go back to help w/ their meet, and then go to the banquet, and then go home unless the middle schoolers aren't done yet.  This weekend I am supposed to have a basketball tournament in Arkansas ... I'm pretty freakin excited about it.  Only I've never practiced with the team I'm on now because they canceled practice yesterday b/c the coach was sick but ya, we're supposed to practice sometime this week in Carthage.  It's called Missouri Valley Heat.   I'm kinda scared though, because there's a freshman that is 6'1!  So I'm pretty sure I'm going to learn to be a guard.  Which is good, because I probably won't play post that much longer anyway.  Anyway... that's all I got.

Edit:  It was only Chelsie and I camping. haha I almost wrecked a four-wheeler my first five minutes there; Chelsie almost caught her whole arm on fire; ya, we started our own campfire; we camped with the cows in her back pasture; and we survived.    So I got home at about 10:15 Thursday night, went to bed at about 10:30 (we woke up at 7 in the morning, and didn't take a nap all day lol)  anyway... I woke up at 1:30 Friday afternoon. That's like 14 hours!! Ya, crazy.  Friday I didn't do anything, rented movies, stayed at home, watched them by myself.  Saturday, I made my picture slide-show dealy at the top of my page, and took my sister Raylin to the movies.  Then went home and put Kimri to bed, and watched another movie, by myself.   I think I see a pattern!  ya... I have no life. Kimri's party is today.  That's it for me... see you all tomorrow

HAPPY SECOND BIRTHDAY TO MY AWESOME NIECE KIMRI LYNN STRACK!

Yep, I can't believe she's two already!  How crazy...Well actually, it won't be two years until 8:05 P.M. But I won't be here at that time, so yeah.

         So my spring break has definately not been the greatest of my life so far, but that's ok.  What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?  Anyway... track has been ok the last week and a half I guess.  School is going ok.  I'm ready for summer though!    Tomorrow night I'm going camping at Chelsie's house with her, Brooke McKinney, Emily Sumner, Kristen Eason, Jaime Wolf, and maybe Heidi.  It's going to be a lot of fun I can't wait!  We got Kimri's pictures taken today... well yesterday, whatever.  Here are a few...Hope you like 'em!

Yeah, so, she's awesome. 

hmm...I hope you all have a great rest of the week!

FIVE MORE DAYS!  Yep, *5* days of school left until spring break.  Thank goodness. lol  I'm about to die.  I'm getting so sick of school.  I can't wait for summer, but at the same time, I so can.   Because my summers usually fly by ...  So I've been doing ok I guess; last Friday I was like really sick though, and my mom wouldn't let me go to school.  Umm I can't really remember anything else from last weekend, except I watched a movie with Blake on Sunday.  Track started Monday! I didn't dress out that day...but I did Tuesday.  It's a lot of fun this year.  I'm excited.  My asthma isn't as bad as it was last year...but it's still there.   Anyway... Thursday was Blake's birthday...   I came home from track and got ready and then went to Casa to eat with him and his family and some of his friends.  Then we went piled in Seth's vehicle thingy lol and went to cash'n'dash so they could buy lottery tickets.  ...Then we went back to Blake's to have ice cream cake.  It was good...  Um... Friday I didn't go to the dance.  I went to Heidi's to see how her and her mom and Stephanie were...and then went with Blake to the late show and saw 16 Blocks.  It was pretty good.  Saturday I had a family thing in Lamar and didn't get home until around 10.  Blake and Ryan came by for a little bit.  OH MY GOSH!  Ryan was outside talking on the phone......and Raylin, Blake, and I were in the living room just watching tv and Ryan comes in and he's like telling us that some weird guy just walked by really slow and trying talking to him but just ran inside lol... and so we go to the door and we're looking at him and he freaking looks like a zombie b/c he's going so slow ... It was kind of scary we were like standing in the yard looking at him and he didn't even know we were there. lol Raylin freaked out really  bad.  It was pretty funny. Today I just cleaned a lot and watched Without A Paddle with Blake.   Tomorrow we have to go back to school and I'm not really looking forward to it.  But the sooner we go the sooner we get out, so whatever.  I think I'm going to Joplin tomorrow after track!  Yes...that's exciting.  OH... and Rodney went and got my car today from Kail and Ashley.  Except something happened and they have to take it to a shop in Lamar tomorrow to see if it will even still work.   I'll be 16 in almost 4 months... I can't wait!   I'll talk to you all later!
