Driving
Isn't so bad! Well, except for when in reverse...I think I scared my teacher while doing that. Since my drivers ed is in Florence, we started there. Then my driving buddy, Alisha Wiley, drove down the old highway just past Trader Brothers and back. Then I did the same thing. Then Alisha drove down past Trader Brothers to the parking lot and drove around cones. First a forward figure eight for awhile-one handed as well as two handed. Then she did that backwards, once again one handed as well. Then she did the serpentina-around every cone instead of the 8. Then she did that in reverse. Then I took over. I did basically the same thing...except I scared my teacher and didn't do one handed while in reverse. But I had never backed up at all before. Good news is my dad said he'd try to take me out practicing backing up this weekend! For now, breath easy Florence...until tomorrow when more beginners practice. Watch out Stevensville for we're coming for you next!!! :-)

It's been forever
since I blogged, I know. But now that school is out for the summer maybe I'll be able to a little more...maybe. :-)
Today I started drivers ed. I had to wake up at 6:45-almost 2 hours earlier than normal!! Yeah, that was exciting. :-) Drivers ed is a 2 hour class from 8-10 every day in Florence. Hopefully getting up earlier will get easier. It should, right? Starting this week, we will work on driving with our driving buddy. First trip is around Florence. That is a warning for Florence people. :-)
Other exciting stuff in my life:
Hopefully in a year I'm going to Germany and Austria! This is with kids from Valley. It will be around a 6 week trip, travelling all over. It's a missions trip-as well as sightseeing we will help out at English speaking day camps (VBS's), and churches and stuff like that. I am extremely excited and am working on learning German by myself. It's a lot harder than you might think at first-I have no idea if I'm saying stuff correctly. Thankfully, I have a friend who speaks German and helps me. And Geoffrey does sometimes correct my pronunciation.
Geoffrey, Kyra, JoyLynn, and I are getting ready for the fair. Kyra already has 2 of her exhibits done. Sometimes I think she has too much extra time...or too much self-discipline. :-) In my defense-my books are a bit harder. And one of my activities I can't get done for another week. For it, my friend and I will talk at dog class about getting ready for the dog show and stuff. Very exciting, I know. But, hey, if any of you guys need any advice on 4-H dog shows we'll be able to help you! Theoretically speaking, of course.
I guess I'll go work on some 4-H stuff...for now, llama board. My original plan was to do one on famous llamas but the only 2 I've found are Kuzco from Emperor's New Groove and Tina from Napolean Dynamite. So yeah, that's not going so well...I'll continue on that one.
