Here's some [old] new pics

Sorry about the delay in getting these pics up here. :P Its been a few weeks now. :)

I graduated valedictorian (did I spell that right?) from my FBI class... out of 3 students. :) My speech was not worth saying anything about, and lasted 30 seconds or less. One cool thing about the whole thing was that I got flowers for the first time that weren't picked by a little kid. :) Dale, the fudge shop owner gave me flowers. Wasn't that sweet?? And Becky and James had a little celebration for me at their house and Matthew and Sara came over. That was pretty fun!

We also had a giant birthday party at our house for Andrew, Micah, and Mrs. Burrell last week. (At least I think it was last week!) Andrew has been wanting the game Masterpiece for a long time, but its not being made anymore. He was lamenting the fact to me one day and so I checked it out on Ebay... and he got his wish!

Now haying season is upon us (no, you don't WANT to see pics- even if I had some!) and so Andrew, Anna, and I were at the Wakemans tonight, just to unload a couple loads. That was a good way to start off... fairly easy. You wouldn't think so if you saw us huffing and puffing and dragging those bales around. :) I think only the first one is easy (sort of), and after that... you just do it! It was really dusty tonight though. Mr. Wakeman said that it shouldn't be so bad after this load.

This Saturday I'm going to a "kayak clinic" up north and (hold on to your seat!!!) I might buy a kayak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited!! I guess its a big sales thing, and there's all sorts of deals on kayaks and stuff there, so we'll see. I went to a store in Holland today to see what they had first, so now I have something to compare with the ones I'll see on Sat.

Boy am I ever long-winded today!! And its 11:30! I'd better skeedaddle off to bed [side note: how on EARTH do you spell skeedaddle? That most certainly does NOT look right. Please comment on this post to let me know your opinion on this subject!]. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a GOOD NIGHT!!!!!!
