It has been a while hasn’t it?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Updates…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That’s what people want.  I’ve had people text me and call me asking me to update my xanga.  Isn’t that funny?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I think so.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I don’t have a laptop- it has been shutting down on me after its warm.. so its being sent in for like the 5th time.  They told me that I could see about a replacement if it still doesn’t work properly after this time.  I’m excited because for me- it almost means an automatic replacement.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On the school front, I’ve just been skating by.  Drifting through all the endless drama and turning out alright.  I am hanging out with different people now, cept for Jay.  I’m going to need to dig in here with my school work pretty soon- but I set my limits for myself… that’s like a blessing and a curse.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On Thursday I went on a Voices trip – we went to some Jazz festival and I can say I enjoyed myself.  It was good to experience.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I missed church for the first time this week in months.. it will be different.  I need to make it up to Him.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I have a bunch of pictures for this post.  I visited my brother and sister-in-law this weekend… so I took some pictures before we left their house this afternoon.  It was the first time I’ve met her – they got married and no family was around (long story, not what you may think) so I met her.  Of everything I could say, I would say: Wow.. she doesn’t talk much.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It was still good to interact with my brother in his new surroundings.  He seems to be doing well up north.  Looking it up he lives in Roslyn?  I think.. anyway it is like almost in the middle of the state.  Least that is what some tourist thing said.  We went up this weekend because his birthday is on the 14th (yes I know its valentines day- but not to me)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The neighbors house looked better because it didn’t have dog tracks everywhere, so that’s where the pictures start.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is what he sees every morning when he gets up…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The snow, the mountains-  the fresh air and peace.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I see snow Ford.. do you?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

My dad…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You can see our car in front too, and that glop of brown is snow.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is the front… leave it to my mom to take the exciting pictures.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Just incase you didn’t get the house number.. he takes donations.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Cash only please.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is Hailey (my niece)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A ‘funny’ picture with them waving as poles.  Think cartoons and nuts.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Confused?  Me too.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Look, its the house.  This time you can see everyone..<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I tell them to smile and this is how it turned out – oi!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is the real picture…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That’s me.. with the puppy.  Chillin’  Fo sho<\/p>\n

ASU—- Ahhh! (gets out Paint Shop Pro Editor-then remembers that is on his laptop)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I’ll have to remove it later, and add a better school \ud83d\ude42  Sorry ’bout that kids.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That water is iced over.  Yeah it sounds like something you would order at Starbucks, but you would really slip if you stepped in it and tried to run.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hahaha, finally got a picture of Dru, I just wanted a good picture of his eyes..<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The road.. I took this picture- and I like it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

My brother is in blue – I’m in red.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I leave you with smoky the bandit.  He’ll quit.. one of these days……. I think.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

God Bless<\/p>\n
