Whitney and Amelia

Last month (well, the first week of March) we enjoyed some time with our newest cousin, Amelia. Amelia decided that she wanted Whitney to take her for a walk so she decided to plop on her lap and have Whitney put on her shoes!

Moving On

I have finally finished high school! I finished on Thursday last week and past. It's still hard to believe that I am done with high school. I will graduate with a 3.62, something that I'm really happy with. The only bad thing is that now I have nothing to keep my mind busy, so I started a puzzle over the weekend. I had to start the puzzle because after an hour last Thursday I was bored and nobody wanted to entertain me!

So now here I am....annoying my family! They aren't too happy with me today because I'm full of energy. I say karma though! They are usually teasing me about being done with their work before me, ha! I have to be careful tomorrow, however, mom might not think twice about hitting me upside the head!

Over my very free weekend I finished two books (yes I said two and yes that is my record!); Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater and The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks. Both good books. They were both totally different from each other so I couldn't say which one was the best. Next on my to do list: cleaning, cleaning , cleaning. I really don't want to start cleaning because it's boring and it doesn't keep your mind very busy but since I now have time on my hand and now I'm really noticing how much needs cleaning I will probably start that soon.

Finals....and then Whitney

This week is my last week of finals! I cannot wait to be done :)! Although I'm sure my first day off by about 10 AM I'll be bored and wishing for more classes! I'm not jumping out of my seat yet with excitement because there is lots of studying to do and two big tests yet to take. Once I pass I'm sure I will be unable to sit still! It's kind of weird to be done with high school, though.

....Then I have Whitney, my little 10 year old monster of a sister. Boy do I understand now why Mom, Jordann, Megan, and Dad decided to give me the task of watching her and schooling her. I'm really wishing that somebody would at least look at my applications and accept me so that she could either 1. go to school or 2. everyone chip in to pay for a boarding school. I'm so happy that I get 1/2 a day off with her tomorrow because Megan is taking her to Grandma and Grandpa's house for a little while! I do not feel sorry that Megan has to sit in the car with her for 45 minutes...hehehe.

Tent Building

For Whitney's birthday today Mom and I spent time building her a tent, yes a tent....over her bed. I'm not sure why she wanted a tent for her birthday but that was her #1 wish this year. I think she is kind of weird to want something like this but Whitney's always been a little bit different compared to all of us.

I really hope that Whitney enjoys her birthday gift because it took a lot of work! Between Mom dropping everything and me giggling at her remarks every time she did something wrong it took quite awhile! Mom just did a quick and easy version of her new tent, as she doesn't have everything yet and her art class has been a total nightmare! The good news is that Whitney enjoyed her presents and Mom even received a Thank You. I'm sure she took one look at me and realized that I was just the commentator!
