Jeeze

Ok now really, did you people really expect me to actually blog every day? knowing me its lucky if it happens once a week let alone once a day. Ok, so i had a totally awesome weekend and i got to shoot a shot gun more than once and i actually hit moving targets!! yay me! so i went up to the g-parents place thursday but before i got there i went shopping with kirstyn for about 4 hours. i got to the farm about 6pm thursday had dinner and then grandpa promptly took my car to the shop and started going over it to find everything that was wrong... and apparently there is a little list going. he fixed my tire that had a nail in it, fixed the blinker so the cords arent hanging on the ground any more, rigged up a heater so i can actually start my car in the morning and ordered some axel cups ( i have no idea what those are) and will put them on next time i am up there along with my studs if i dont need them before then. oh ya and he also changed my oil for me so taht was totally awesome in my book.
Ok, so on friday i hung out with roy for a bit, just followed him around as he did whatever it was he was doing... and then Kirstyn, Emily and Amber finally got to the farm. Grandma had some company over for dinner that wanted to meet us kids so we all went over after dinner time and played the piano and sang random songs for a while til they had to go. there was a young girl there (8 yrs old) that could play violen like no other. it was pretty much amazing kirstyn got some videos of it so thats pretty cool.
So lets see, Saturday we all stayed at Roy and Kaylees house, Kaylee made some good breakfast and then Luke came in on the train at 11:30 so sis went to pick him up and Trevor, Roy Kaylee and I decided to go shoot trap as i think they call it. Kirstyn had picked up some shells for trevor when we were shopping on thursday-- Oh and that reminds me of this funny story- ok so on thursday when we were shopping kirstyn said we needed to go to Sheel's a hunting and sport store to pick up some shells for trevor instead of giving him gas money for the trip to mandan. i said okey dokey and off we went. So we get to Sheels and walk in. Im wearing my typical jeans and sweatshirt and sis is wearing her typical fancy clothes. So we go in and find the gun section and are just sorta standing around. now i was all for just finding the shells my self but she thought we should wait for one of the guys standing around to help us (only one actually worked there) after waiting for a bit a little lady walked up and asked the guy for help and he walked off. i got tired of waiting at that point and set off to find the shells myself. kirstyn followed along saying "i cant believe no one offered to help me! I knew i should have worn a pink shirt and heels!!" i said " well you didnt ask for help, its no big deal" she was like " well ive never had to ask b4 usually they all come over to ask if i need help with anything" i rolled my eyes and told her taht she was the vainest girl i know and went and found the shells myself.
ok back to saturday-- we went out to the homestead and set up the trap launcher or whatever its called. basically a metal arm thing attached to a whatcha ma callit all on top of a tire holding it in place. you set the clay thingy in that arm and pull a string and it gets launched and you fire the gun at it.
I got to shoot a shotgun for the first time ever and i think it was like a 12 gauge or something. it was rather large and if u didnt hold it right it rather hurts when you shoot it. I am proud to say that i actually hit about 5 of the clay thingys in the air which is quite amazing if u ask me since i have never tried to hit a moving target before. Kirstyn also used the gun for the first time in her life i believe. I dont think she hit anything but she only shot 3 times so thats ok. Jamin came out and shot for a while with us to, and man hes a really good shot as is Luke as we found out when he got there.
Saturday afternoon we went to Megan Hinke's play in Chester. I think we might have embarrased her at the end when we all hollared GO MEGAN HINKE!! but it was a lot of fun.
Sat night we had a bonfire in roy and kaylees yard. it was cold but it was a lot of fun. we made smores and sang very random songs as they came to mind.
Sunday we went to meeting, or rather we attempted to. R&K left in their car and sis, emily, amber and i piled into kirstyns car but she couldnt find her keys so i said, get in my car the keys are in it. so off we go to my car i turn the key and it goes rrrrr rrrrr rrrrr, the radio had been left on and so my car was dead. back to the sister-mobile. as we get into her car she runs into the house to find her keys and comes back out saying guys i cant find them anywhere. just about then amber pipes up and says oh wait, they're in my pocket, i forgot! so we headed for mtg and surprisingly we werent even noticably late. There was a potluck after mtg so we all got to chat for a while then i had to leave a little early with the g-parents so they could jump my car before i had to leave. i had to allow extra time because it SNOWED. i know its only october and there is snow on the ground, how horrible is that. its really really cold outside but i suppose im gonna have to live. i got back in time for work and i went to work and i came home and i went to sleep and i got up. that is all
