A week from now, I will be fishing!

I love fishing. Every summer I go fishing with my family and my grandma and grandpa Krueger. It's the highlight of my whole summer. The feeling of getting away from technology and just laying on a boat and fishing (getting a tan too) is amazing. Also I love not having to get ready in the morning. I can roll out of bed and eat and go fishing.
We like to go way up north. Up to the Canada/U.S. border. Big fish are up their. We always have a competition to see who can catch the 1st fish and the most. My grandpa normally wins. After our day of fishing, we go and gut the fish. I go along with my dad and grandpa. i normally watch or help clean off the fish. My grandpa is the boss with the knife. I just can't wait until next week!

Congrats Cheeta!

Today my older sister(Krista) graduated from college. She went to St. Thomas in St. Paul. College graduations are so boring! I thought High School ones were bad, but there is son many people at college. I believe 1,099 students graduated with Krista. When they walked in, It at least 15mins for everyone to sit down. Then the head people had to make speeches. Then they had to say everyones name. To add on top of that, it was 80 degrees or hotter and the sun was glaring at my back. I had no sun screen,so my back got fried. Now I have a sweat tan line. We were sitting at the football field and on chairs with people everywhere. There was about 8,000 family, friends and who knows who were there. I didn't like it at all.

Busy week

May is super busy. This week is my dance recital and track and my best friends golden 16th birthday. So for dance we have rehearsals all week and the performance on Saturday, the same day as my friends birthday. For track, I have a meet and practice after school. Also you have to add school and homework with chores at home. I can't wait for the end of this week and just relax.

A month ago today was my birthday and today is my dads birthday. I always feel special sharing the same date as my daddy. We have so much in common. It's always my little sister and my mom vs. me and my dad. We are laid back and always pick on my mom with her weird rituals.
My dad and I always watch twins games together. Last year we went to a game together and It was on my list of my best days ever! The joy on my dads face was priceless. We had sweat seats too! We were right up to the edge, behind 1st base. It was amazing!
My dad is my rock and supporter. I don't know what I will do without him.

Month to go!

After today their will only be a month left of school. Added a couple days in June. I just can't believe school will be over and I will be a Junior. It doesn't seem possible. I still remember running around and having no responsibilities. Now I have to get a job and pay for my car.
Where did time go? It seems every year is going by faster and faster. Before you know it I will be 80 years old(hopefully) and sitting on a chair, watching the world go by.
I wish I could stop time and breath a little bit and just take it in the world. I just don't want to miss anything.

The best day ever!

Today is my 16th birthday! Today is amazing and everything I have ever dreamed of. I got a car and went out to eat. Also I got the Twilight movie(one of the most amazing movies ever). Even school was good. All my friends were amazing and Allison and Gilby gave me some crazy gifts,but I still love them:) Anna gave me a scrapbook of our life together and it made almost want to cry. It's now in my room; proudly showing it off.
So I would like to say thank you to everyone for letting me have a day I will not forget!

Compliments

"I like your shirt. You are beautiful. I want your hair." Compliments are supposed to make you feel good. When I hear them, I get a feeling that I should give them one back. They stand and look at you with puppy dog eyes and do I give them a compliment back or do I smile and change the topic?
I really don't take compliments well, especially from my mom. I find some way to twist it around. " My hair is gross. This shirt makes my look fat."
I don't know way I don't like them but I know my little sister loves them. If I say something nice to her, a huge smile comes around her face. If she likes them so much... I guess I will give her more.

February is a crappy month

I don't like February at all. The month messes with your head. I blame it on the weather. The sun comes back and the snow starts to melt. It looks like spring is here and then....BANG!a snow storm. Back at square 1. The month feels like ages. Nothing interesting happens.
I want spring. I don't want to be cold anymore. I want to pack away my sweaters and crack open my skirts and dresses. I like looking outside and seeing flowers, not dirty snow and sand 2 miles high. I'm sick of falling on my butt because of the stinking ice, or stepping on snow and sinking down to your knees. Please spring come:(

Bring on the fish

Today is Ash Wednesday, the starting of lent. I'm Catholic and today is fasting. We can only eat little meals and no meat. I really don't know why we do this, but we do. When I was little my mom told that Jesus gave his life for us and for lent we can give up something for him. For the next 40 days will be interesting. I will be giving up candy/Ice Cream. I love Ice Cream. I have some about every night. I don't know if I can make it. Also during lent we can't eat meat on Fridays. You have to be very careful of what you eat. Once I was making eggs and not thinking, I put ham in it. My dad comes over and stares at me. It hits me that I can't eat that. I had to pick out the ham one by one. What was really hard was birthday parties. Having pizza. I could only have cheese pizza while other people have pepperoni. As you get older it's not that bad. When I came home today, I saw a brand new tarter sauce jar on the counter. Fish. I'm not in love with fish, but I can hack it. For every Friday now we have fish. This is the time were we clean out the freezer of fish from our last trip. My dad for some reason, is pumped about that.Can't wait until Easter:)

Swimming is my life

I love water. I love going underwater and look at the bubbles. Swimming gives me my love. I get to jump in a pool everyday; except, I hate the work outs. I dread the feeling of not being able to breath. For the past 7 months, after school I've been going to swim practice. I'm getting to the point were I'm starting to hate going to the pool. The pool is my 2ND home. The chlorine is now in my blood. I think I will never be able to get the chlorine smell off my skin. When I leave this town, I want to move by the ocean so I can learn to surf and swim with the fish. That would be my ultimate dream:)

My hero

My hero is someone who can do everything and still be beautiful.
My hero dries my tears with laughter.
My hero is smart, and not just book smart, but stain washing smart.
My hero is my go-to-gal.
My hero is someone who gives me wisdom and strength to get through the day.
My hero would drop anything just to make me happy.
My hero loves me even when we fight.
My hero is a person who I admire.
My hero tells it the way it is and I like it.
My hero is a person I want to be.
My hero, My friend, My mom.

Take a Chill Pill

Some of the craziest fans out there are parents. Today I had sections for the Y swim team. We were the last team to get their and their was parents everywhere. You had grandparents, aunts and uncles, other siblings running around. It was crazy. I was sitting on the pool deck and I see a women literally running up and down the deck screaming at the relay. Her face looked like a tomato and her veins in her head were bulging. I thought she was going to fall in the pool. The video cameras. You couldn't even walk around the deck without getting in the way. The dad I saw had to at least have the video camera running for half the meet.(Y swim meets are not short) I'm thinking to myself, these parents are crazy;it's only a Y swim meet. Don't have a heart attack over one. Then you see Albert Lea parents sitting on their butts, calm and collected. But the parents on the other teams are wild animals trapped in a small room.

R.I.P. Heath :(

Today is a holiday in my opinion. As much of a movie buff I am, I would know that today marks the one year anniversary of Heath Ledgers death. That was a tragic day that will forever be in my memory. He died way to young and left his daughter Matilda Rose. His amazing movies that he plays so well. Some of my favorite movies of him are 10 things I hate about you, Casanova, Brokeback Mountain, and my most adored movie is The Dark Knight:) His performance as the joker gives me goose bumps. The laugh is creepy and makes you cringe. He is by far one of my favorite actors. It was announce that he is up for Oscar nominations for the joker. I hope he wins.I also would like to say Happy 16Th B-day KATE!!!!:)

Today I got a letter

I know I'm not the best writer in the world, or I don't exactly remember all the rules on punctuation. But today i got a letter from my High School telling me I didn't pass my writing test, again. I first took it in my 9Th grade year. I got a 2 and you need a 3 or higher to pass. And once again I got another 2. What am I doing wrong? I'm doing the format my teacher taught me and I'm trying very hard to pass, but I'm not passing. I never had a hard time with these state tests, but now I have to pass to graduate. My self esteem is going way down. I never thought that I would be one of these people who have to keep on retaking test after test to pass. That's just not me or my family. I feel like I'm letting my parents down, I'm not smart enough to even get a flippin 3 on my writing test. What would happen if I never pass? Would I have to stay in High School forever? I don't think so. I just hope and pray that the 3rd time is the charm.
