Horses, Concerts, and Kids!

Oh boy another epic weekend! Friday night I babysat my nephew, Gavin. It was a fun time, but he is a full time job! Hailey came over and helped me for a few hours. We baked some brownies and played with Gavin. He had a good time terrorizing the cat and walking up a storm. He stayed the night and I woke up to him making noises next door at 6:30 AM and thus I got little sleep, but it was all good. Bright and early that morning I drove down to Elma for an english lesson with Mike Lamb. I have been waiting to do this for years! This was my first time riding this seat. I have always wanted an English horse. It was so fun and the horse I rode was huggee. 16.3. It took me a little while to get a feel for this foreign seat, but by the end of the lesson I was getting the hang of it! After my lesson my mom, a few relatives, and I went to a Diana Krall concert at the Chateau Ste Michelle winery in Woodinville. It was so good! She is very talented. The venue was awesome as well. Well another great sunny day. I'm off to ride my own horse today, then maybe washing my car? Auf Wiedersehen! (Kiss, kiss. - Shout out to Heidi Klum, Project Runway)

Oh what a weekend!

I have had quite the eventful weekend!  Never a dull moment.  I went to a movie, rode one of my horses, went to a fashion show, had dinner with friends, and went to the races!  Believe it or not I have never been to the horse races.  It was a fun day!  I went with Justin and my mom and even made a few bets.  I made about $25.  Not that much, but still exciting.  It was so cool to see another breed of horse because I am so used to my Arabians.  The thoroughbreds are so athletic looking.  Another full week of work lies ahead; just two more weeks of work!  The countdown to my departure for school has begun, 22 days!  Well I am off to watch my fav show, Mad Men.  Check it out!  It's so entertaining, I'm addicted.  Peace out GH!  

Ahhh weekend!

I'm soo happy the weekend is here!  The weather, however, its not nice.  But I enjoy cloudy/rainy days sometimes.  It is nice to have a break from work for a few days.  Yesterday was Sarah's last day at work so we took a picture of all the "summer helpers."  Everybody is doing what they do best in this picture!  This weekend will be a time to unwind, I have been cleaning and getting caught up on random things before school begins.  I also rearranged my room, which I love!  In other good news, I heard from my roommate @ SCU!  She seems nice; I am so excited to meet her.  Well I'm off!  Getting together with my good CW friends tonight.  You stay classy, Gig Harbor.  

First blog!

So this is my first blog.  I am new to this so we will see how it goes!  Hopefully I can keep everyone updated on my life this summer and into college.  Tonight my mom and I went out to a fun and wonderful dinner with Megan Kelley and her mom at Primo Grill here in Tacoma.  It was great to see them and we had a great time, as always.  It was nice to catch up and reminisce and I learned about blogging from them so I decided to give it a try!  Today I worked again at Sound Refining, another long day.  It rained this morning so we could not work outside.  We kept ourselves entertained by playing pictionary and crafting haikus pertaining to work in the shop.  Later in the day, however, I learned how to cut steel which was scary and exciting.  Two more days of work til the weekend.  I work with a great group of people so it is fun. I leave for school a month from Friday!  Still a lot of summer left, I am ready to go "back" (starting a new school), but I'm enjoying home.  Hopefully I can make it up to ride my horse this weekend.  Well work calls early in the morning.  Off to bed!
