Back In the Swing of Things

Well I’m back in Butte once again; I came back on Thursday so I could hangout with Shannon before he left for San Diego for his new job. So Florida finally won the National championship. I really don’t care for Oklahoma much, and I’m definitely a part of the Tim Tebow Fan Club. This superhuman is one of a kind. He not only brings a dominating force to the football field, he also joins his parents in missions in the Philippines. So if you haven’t been up to Discovery yet this year, I definitely recommend it. Shannon and I went up there on Friday, and it was a blast. They have a lot of good snow. Now this was only my second time skiing in two years so it took me a while to get back into the swing of things, but by the end I had it down, and I really had so much fun.
On our way down we stopped at 7 Gables; they make a great bacon cheeseburger. Then to give our muscles a little R&R, Shannon, his roommate and I went out to the Mud Pots, which are the natural hot springs right on the river. Saturday I drove down to Absarokee so Shannon could bring some things back and to drop off their trailer. Then when we got back, we watched the NFL games, which I never would have picked the winners, except for the Eagles’ game. Even though the Giants were number one in the NFC, the Eagles are on a hot streak, and I think that they can go to the Super Bowl. Yesterday was a really long day; I woke up at four in morning so I could drive to Helena to go ice fishing with my dad and Vance. We went out to the Silos, and since I marked our spot on my GPS where we caught all those perch last time, we went back to it and caught thirty, which wasn’t a bad day. Ms. Abigail is coming up here this weekend, and I’m excited because I haven’t seen her in a while and she hasn’t been up to my house since we played Carroll here. School starts on Wednesday, and I’m pretty excited for everything to get back into the swing of things. I’m taking seventeen credits, so I’ll have a nice load. Well I’m glad to be back, and I hope you have a nice week!!!!

Where Have the Years Gone?

Well, I hope everyone had a happy New Year and that this year will be better than the last. So I have been doing some ice fishing and have been trying to go skiing, but the weather never seems to work out the way we want it to. Trying to predict the weather here in Helena is like knowing you’re going to win the lottery (lol). My dad and I went fishing on Saturday out at the Silos, and it was a very nice day out, but we only dragged in nine perch. On Sunday we went and Vance, my sister’s boyfriend, came with us, and we all limited out by the end of the day. Vance caught the only walleye and my dad caught the only trout. So I have a question for everyone: where have all the years gone? I know I’m only twenty, but gosh darn it, I feel like my mom was waking me up for third grade only yesterday. Now being twenty doesn’t really feel any different than being nineteen, except that I will never ever be a teenager again in my life, which is kind of sad when you think about it. So you know how I was going bowling on my Birthday?
Well it never happened. The stupid bowling guy gave away the lanes that I reserved on MONDAY, five days in advance. Abby and I got there around 8:45 and we had to wait in line, which was fine. So we finally got up to the desk at 9:00, and the guy told me he gave my lanes away “a long time ago” because you have to be there by 8:50. It didn’t make any sense to me because we stood in line for fifteen minutes, and then he said he gave them away “a long time ago”, but what really burned me up was that they never told me that you have to be there by a certain time to get your lanes, so I will never go to Sleeping Giant Lanes ever again!!!

The Big 20!!!!

Well I hope you all had a vey merry Christmas and that you all got to spend time with your family since that’s really what Christmas is all about. I can remember back when I was little and Christmas Eve was the longest day it seemed like, I just wanted to open all my presents. It seemed like I would try to sleep-in but couldn’t then it would seem like I watched the clock tick every second until that night. But the older I get it, Christmas doesn’t seem like it used to be, and it really sucks. I used to get super excited to open presents and have the family come over, but the last couple of years I guess it just hasn’t been the same. I guess that’s what happens when you start to grow up and become an adult, but I hope I’m wrong. Well now Christmas Eve is when we open presents and we don’t start till around nine o’clock, I got a bunch of cowboys fan gear.
Like two blankets one from my mom and one from Ms. Abigail, also Cowboys popcorn bowls, a Cowboys jacket from Ms. Abigail but it’s a little too small so she’s going to get me bigger size. Well now on Christmas we watched the new Batman movie the Dark Night since none of my family had seen it and once again it is a wicked sweet movie.
Then I traveled down to East Helena to Ms. Abigail’s house so I could open her presents, we ate a late lunch there and then went up to my house for a prime rib dinner. Tomorrow is the big day the days of all days MY BIRTHDAY I’ll be twenty years old and loving life. We are going Vegas bowling and Ms. Abigail is taking me to lunch then my parents are taking me out to dinner. My family goes above and beyond on Birthdays, they are a very big thing to all of us, and so we celebrate them like it. Well ill let you all know how my Birthday goes! Again hope you all had a great Christmas!!!!!

Snow Snow Snow!!!!!

Well everyone all I can really say is snow, it has snowed here in Helena for the past couple of days and I love it. There’s just so many things that you can do outside like sledding, skiing, ice fishing but with the sow comes shoveling which we do every time it freaking snows, so people can get into their storage units. Well last Thursday I went down to Missoula to do some Christmas shopping with Ms. Abigail and after she “HELPED” me wrap the presents like I said she would. While down in Missoula I filled my truck up with gas, my aunt does most of her grocery shopping at Safeway and she has built up points to get money off your gas purchase, so I got 17.5 gallons of medium grade gas for five dollars even. Which is amazing, we figured it out and it cost somewhere around thirty cents a gallon, how sweet and since Butte doesn’t have a Safeway gas station she lets me use them. Well Christmas is getting down to the wire and I can officially say that I have done all my shopping and glad to be done. Well since I have been on break I really have done nothing to exciting yet, except hang with a couple old high school friends. I haven’t done any fishing or skiing yet but I have time still, it’s just been so darn cold outside. Well I’m cooking dinner tonight so I’ll check back in on Christmas.

Bone Chilling!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, everywhere you go! Well it’s very true everyone, Christmas is only ten days away and my Birthday is only twelve days away. So this means I have only twelve days of being a teenager left, what a road it has been (LOL). So since my last blog I have done some Christmas shopping but not much, on Thursday I plan on traveling down to Missoula, so Ms. Abigail and I can get our Christmas shopping done and I will and up begging Ms. Abigail to help me wrap my presents. Now when I mean “help” me wrap my presents, I pretty much mean do it for me, since Ms. Abigail is such an artist with the wrapping paper and ribbon. Well this cold weather has just been bone chilling; I have been putting my truck in my garage, which is underneath my house so it stays nice and warm for the morning trip to school. But don’t get me wrong I’m glad this weather is hear for two reasons, first this cold weather is the only thing that will kill all of the beetle’s that are killing our trees and second so the lakes will freeze over and I can go ice fishing. I have my last two finals tomorrow and I’m very happy to get this semester over with and move on. I have been getting ready for the trip home by, filling the truck up with gas which only cost me thirty dollars which is kickass, washing all my clothes and getting them packed up and finally cleaning up my house. Well to all you college students I hope your finals go great and to everyone else get your Christmas shopping done!

Studying My Buns Off!

Hello everyone I’m so sorry about not writing a blog in a long time, I have just been swamped and I finally got the time to sit down and breath. So between studying for all my tests, shoveling all the snow we have been getting and working out I have barely have enough time to eat and sleep. So I’m getting pretty excited, okay really excited for Christmas Break to start and go home, so I can get a lot of rest and relaxation with a fare share of ice fishing. sd I love ice fishing, if you haven’t ever gone ice fishing; I’m telling you that you are definitely missing out on lots of fun. I’ll be mostly going out to the Silos which is the South end of Canyon Ferry, but I plan on making some trips down to Butte so I can ice fish will Sully and Boe up at George Town and Clark Canyon. So if you haven’t noticed like me Christmas is getting closer by the minute and I have done none, zip, zero, zilch, of shopping for Christmas. I definitely need to get my stuff together and to put some icing on the cake my mothers Birthday is on Tuesday, which is the day of my last finals, so I can head home for her Birthday. I’m excited to go home and not have to worry about tests, quizzes or homework, even having to attend classes. I have two finals on Friday, math and accounting, so I have been studying my buns off. I pretty much stay up at the library every night until they close around eleven, then come home go to bed, wake up and then head right back up to my little study room that I checkout every time. Well good luck to everyone on their finals!

Glad To Be Back!

Hello everyone. Let’s just say I’m glad to be back in Montana. Now don’t get me wrong, I really enjoy going on trips to larger cities, but there’s about a thousand reasons why Montana is way better. I have to admit that not seeing the sun for three or four days was pretty depressing. The sun just gives you energy, and I’m pretty sure it’s necessary for human life. Now since the concert wasn’t until Sunday night, we ended up making our way to the Tacoma Mall since it was only about 10 minutes away. This mall was the largest I have ever been in. It had two Abercrombie & Fitches, Old Navy, American Eagle, Aeropostale, and too many more to say. Just Sports caught my eye, so I decided to swing in there and ended up buying my sister’s boyfriend a present and even bought myself my own present for Christmas for Abby (lol). I found a really cool Cowboys hat, and she can never find a Cowboys hat, so I just bought it. So now the AC/DC concert. This was a sweet concert, mostly because they played tons of songs that I knew, but one song they didn’t play which made me mad was Back in Black. It’s one of my all time favorites. Our seats were to the right of the stage in the first tier in row 32. These seats were very good especially since we paid only a hundred dollars for them. My dad doesn’t really like concerts, so he stood in his seat only for a couple of songs and then went down by the main door and watched a bunch of people get kicked out. We drove home Monday and stopped at an outlet mall just outside of Tacoma. I spent $85 dollars at the Nike outlet store. After we got home around 8:30 last night, I had to drive to Butte. It was really, really dark outside. Well, I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving, and you all better start getting ready for Christmas.
