city living
I am so bored....What I want to know is what do people truly do living in the city...this is all new to me and am not sure how a normal american citizen keeps themselves entertained. Yeah of course there are the usual methods such as jogging, taking the dog for a walk, mowing the lawn, or trimming the trees, doing laundry, or cleaning the kitchen. But how long can these really last? and how can you do the same routine? nothing new and exciting to look out on everyday, no surprises when you go outside, you dont relize that the fields need to be swapped, you dont go to the barn to find new life born the night before, you dont walk outside to find something that needs your attention, something that will distract you for the time being or soemthing that you can give your full attention to. wow anyway, props for all of you who have found things to do in the city but i have not. props to all of you. im telling the truth. Unless you have stuff to do like im not surprised about obesity in america, all people can do is sit, watch the tv that is given to them and eat. seriosuly thats is it! think about wheneveryone had land, everyone had responsiblities think about when you did have to walk a mile to your barn or walk the fence line, think about everyone living life like that or not driving to the store in 5 seconds and not having to walk at all then going home and eating. People had to walk or ride or travel for long periods of time to even get to a store or a post office! now we walk outside and there is a post office, the mail comes to us, food comes to us, theres nothing. props to those who live in the city and dont go crazy.

sad day
SAD DAY! I have barely kept up on this sorry everyone...I am a bit inspired tonight to relinquish my blog writing.
late tonight gramps and I stayed up chatting online later than usual inspring me to check out everyones blogs, new posts, and pictures.
Which also reminded me as of gramps weigh in day, the 19th for people who keep up on his blog, I am officially 18 in 1 month on that day which means less than a month today...I know surprise surprise everyone..
hmm which brings me to another conversation which mel and I had while vacationing in lovely Maui. " so what can you do when you are 18?" we pondered and pondered and came up with quite a few..I will ad on to them as well, well when you are 18 you can...get tattos and piercings, lottery tickets, go to a real jail, VOTE, order stuff from info-merrcials, buy a house, get married, hmm well since it is so late, my memory has probably failed me on quite a few things, if you can think of anything else though..let me know so I can do whatever it is when I am 18.
I have moved on from the excitment of graduating high school and am so glad that everyone came to visit and support! that was fantastic and I am so thankful for it, I just hope everyone had a good time.
Now that I have moved on from the dreary days at the place they call "high school" I have moved onto higher thinking such as...when shall I begin "job searching" hmm maybe tommorow or the next day, while keeping up with my drama of Jon and Kate Plus 8 I have little time to consider this option soooo I have decided that maybe just maybe a TLC representative will come knocking at my door and I too shall live the life of a reality TV star...but that soon fades away and I get over the fact that it may not happen today or the next day.
For now I am busy catching up on chores around the farm and packing up my room to move to Albany in August. It has been quite the deed but it is enjoyable rummaging through all of my "stuff" Zachary Cain has been great! we are so excited that we can both call ourselves college students now even though as quite a few of you know, for some reason I am stuck in 2005. haha things that happened YEARS ago I clame happened just a couple of years ago, I suppose time really does fly when you are having fun.
Zach will be joining Oregon State University's Air Force ROTC program, which I cannot explain too well but just this...you pick a major of their choice, they pay for your school, you work really hard, you get good health benifits in the long run and you get paid so much every month and it takes up a lot of years and you go into it with high hopes of becoming a major officer and pilot. and that is the extint that I know of the ROTC program. BUT he wants to do it so I support him just as he supports me in my pursuit to become a Vetrinarian. sounds exciting huh? VERY!! my college thinks that my major is still in Speech communications though which I will have to change very soon before it becomes communicating with sick animals or something, which wouldnt turn out quite well...
ok 12:09 time to get ready for bed...I think I should work a grave yard shift when I get a job since I thrive at night, getting as much work done as I possibly can.
anyway more tomorrow hopefully.

FFA CREED
I believe in the future of agriculture, with a faith born not of words but of deeds - achievements won by the present and past generations of agriculturists; in the promise of better days through better ways, even as the better things we now enjoy have come to us from the struggles of former years.
I believe that to live and work on a good farm, or to be engaged in other agricultural pursuits, is pleasant as well as challenging; for I know the joys and discomforts of agricultural life and hold an inborn fondness for those associations which, even in hours of discouragement, I cannot deny.
I believe in leadership from ourselves and respect from others. I believe in my own ability to work efficiently and think clearly, with such knowledge and skill as I can secure, and in the ability of progressive agriculturists to serve our own and the public interest in producing and marketing the product of our toil.
I believe in less dependence on begging and more power in bargaining; in the life abundant and enough honest wealth to help make it so - for others as well as myself; in less need for charity and more of it when needed; in being happy myself and playing square with those whose happiness depends upon me.
I believe that American agriculture can and will hold true to the best traditions of our national life and that I can exert an influence in my home and community which will stand solid for my part in that inspiring task.
The creed was written by E. M. Tiffany, and adopted at the 3rd National Convention of the FFA. It was revised at the 38th Convention and the 63rd Convention.
