Easter!

I love easter! My family and I always go to my great aunt Grace's farm for easter! Her farm is in Atlanta, Illinois. Yes, there IS an Atlanta,Illinois. It's always fun because she has horses,cows,pigs, and chickens. Some of the cows just had calfs,too! They're so cute! I love going to her farm for Easter because our whole family comes, about 45+ people. My mom and I usually do all of the cooking. I have many cousins, and its funny, because the majority of them are boys and my age. All of the guys in my family usually play soccer or baseball outside, while all of the girls usually stay inside. There is also a really fun creek that we walk down to, and the little kids play in it. We always make these really fun jell-o eggs, too, which I love! Yum. :)

Inspirational Us

I feel that these photos of Savannah and I are inspirational. This is due to our loverly and rawther photogenic faces. In the first picture we look like lawyers, because we're awesome like that. Be inspired.

Cole and Walker(and Nicole)!

I babysit for the Thompson family almost every day, because the parents are very busy. They have three kids. Cole and Walker, who are twins and 2 years old. They also just adopted Nicole not too long ago, who is 4 years old. Cole and Walker were born prematurely, and have been affected by many health issues. Walker is considerably healthier than Cole, but has a low immune system. Cole has lung issues, so he had to be trached and vented. The trach and ventilator help him to breath while his lungs become stronger, and we hope to be able to take him off of it before he turns 5. Because Cole is trached and vented I had to take a special course at the trach and vent center, and had to be trained by my mom(who is usually his at-home daytime nurse) so that I could be come a certified caregiver for him. I had to do this before I could babysit because otherwise it would be illegal. :) Nicole is also trached and vented. Cole is so sweet, he loves music and he enjoys laughing at me even when I'm not doing anything funny. Even if I'm just sitting there doing homework,eating yogurt, or whatever he just randomly starts laughing hysterically at me. Walker is a very busy child. He loves to play and run around, but you have to be careful because he sometimes tries to take Cole's trach out of his neck(he actually did once and I had to put it back in!!!). Nicole isn't as active as the twins because she is also disabled(in addition to being trached and vented). I end up singing and dancing for them most of the time, because it calms them down(and they find it funny :P). They like to watch TV,too. Their favorite shows are Veggie Tales and Wheel of Fortune(don't ask me why because, frankly, I really don't know :P). Walker likes to watch AARP and Hillshire Farms commercials. It's really funny! I love them so much, they're the cutest kids ever!

My Sister Sarah!

Sarah is my only sibling and I wouldn't have it any other way! She's three years older than me. We have a good relationship and are bestfriends( a list of many)! :) She's a freshman in college and she is going to be an accountant. This is one of the few ways that we're different. She's immensely good at every kind of math, and I'm what I like to call "mathematically challenged". Hehehe. We do lots of things together, for instance we go out to eat at sushi popo and that new indian place a lot. We like to play massive games of Uno, we just divide the deck in two and play. There was this one weekend when that was all we did, had a marathon Uno game. Hahahaha! We do karaoke,too. We do a superb version of "Total Eclipse of the Heart"(and pretty much every Taylor Swift song), hahahaha!!! I'd like to say that we only sing during karaoke, but we don't. It's really funny because I'll just be cooking dinner in the kitchen or something and she'll come in singing. We randomly break out in song and dance sometimes. We're just weird like that. This picture is of my sister and I on my first day of preschool, I'm the short one. :)

St.Patrick's Day!!!

My favorite St.Patrick's day memory was when Kaylee and I went to dinner with all of her family at this one restaurant in Chicage, I can't remember the name of it but it was an Irish pub. It was a really good time! After dinner, we went over a bridge and we saw that the river underneath it was green! They had dyed it specially for St.Patrick's day! We also went to a parade. There were many bands and floats! There were even clowns and people walking on stilts! There must have been a zillion people there! After that we went back to the hotel and went swimming in the pool! We played pool games, like marco polo, and other things. It was so much fun, I hope we go again sometime soon!

Super cute puppy!

My Best Friend,Megannnn Hilllllll!!!!

Megan Hill is my best friend ever! Seriously. We met freshmen year, and we've been friends ever since. We don't even have any classes together, so I'm not really sure how we we even met,but whatever. Megan always makes me laugh. Whenever I see her I just start laughing(not because she's funny looking, just because I do). Our friendship amazes me because we don't even have anything in common, and we're still BFFs. For example, my favorite color is pink and she loves blue. We also love to watch dancing with the stars together, and trade books. :) We would do anything for each other. :D Megan is completely hilarious and random. She thinks the most random and stupid things are really funny and she has these fits of uncontrollable laughter. It's really funny! One of the things I like about her is that nothing ever gets her down, she is always super,super happy! I love Megan!

15 Things I Want To Do Someday(AKA the longest post ever!!!)

1)See the cubs win the world series-more than once!!!!

2)Go canoeing again- I went canoeing once before on a class trip and I really enjoyed it!

3)Become a realtor/have my own realty firm-It just sounds fun! :)

4)Learn how to swing dance-Hehehe, I think it would be fun!

5)Take a pottery class

6)Get a dog- I've always wanted a dog but my parents don't like them so I haven't been able to. I want a golden retriever or a scottish terrier, or both!

7)Learn how to fly a plane-This probably won't happen,but it's fun to think about. (Jazlyn and erin ,who're in my behind the wheel class, would probably have a laughing fit if I told them this because I freak out when I'm only driving a car;so who knows what would happen if I flew a plane! :P)

8)Go to college- I'm thinking about going to either Bradley or the University of Illinois. I originally wanted to go to Yale(If you major in business, you get to have Kate Spade come to speak at one of your classes!!!), but it would be waaaaaay to expensive and my parents are making me pay for college by myself!

9)Get married and have a family- Who doesn't want to do this?!? Plus, I love kids! :)

10)Buy a house- I want a house with a pool and a HUGE kitchen because I loooovvvveee to cook and bake! Truthfully, I probably bake way to often. I sometimes get this random urge to bake stuff at,like, 2 am. My family makes fun of me so much for it but they don't care if I do or not because they like to eat what I make! :)

11)Buy a sailboat-I don't really need a big,fancy boat. I just think it would be fun to go sailing on weekends and whatnot. :D

12)Learn how to play the piano-My mom made me take a billion classes when I was little!! I played the violin,saxophone,clarinet,and piano(none of them lasted for very long, I hated it!). I also did tumblebus(and other tumbling),and pretty much every kind of dance and art class you can think of. The only sport I did was tennis. Although I did drop the piano classes, I sort of want to take it up again.

13)Take up tennis- I used to play all the time, but I just kind of stopped.

14)Coach my child's soccer/basketball/whatever team- Of all the things on my list this is probably the least likely one. Mainly because I don't actually know anything about sports. Maybe I'll just supply the treats and host the after-game parties. :D

15)Learn how to fix a car by myself- This is something I've always wanted to do, just in case my car breaks down in the middle of nowhere or something. :)
