Gabrielle and her dog Lucky. I believe this is one of my greatest pictures. Both the dog and her are looking at the camera and I was able to get her smiling. Also they are the main focus in the picture and the background is not distracting.

There is nothing better than ...

There is nothing better than having a day where it is sunny and warm out. You don't have to do anything, and you can just sit outside relax and enjoy the day. You don't have to stress about anything. You have no deadlines and no place to go. I would love to have a day like this sometime soon. It seems like every week I have more to do than what time I have to do it. I'm always bussy and I would like a day where I can just relax and enjoy life.

Spring Break

I can't remember what I did on the first Saturday and Sunday that we had off. On Monday I had track practice and then shortly after that I packed some clothes and headed to Concordia to stay with Catherine. I went up, watched her play softball, and then we all went back to her dorm. We went to eat later that night. The next day I got up, went to her softball game against Siena Heights, and afterward I headed home. On Wednesday I had track practice and then did some things around the house. On Thursday, I went to track practice and then later that day I made 210 oreo balls and 210 chocolate pretzels. On Friday I got up, got in the car, and headed to toledo. I found my prom dress, and we went out to eat at Olive Garden. We spent eight hours in toledo shopping. On Saturday, I went to a wild game dinner with my family at the Simpkin's family's house. On Sunday I had an easter egg hunt in the morning. Later that afternoon Catherine, Gabrielle, Chad, and I met my dad at the store and went fishing in Tecumseh.

Make up your own Holiday Day

The holiday that I would create would be on May 5th of every year. This is a day where we would just celebrate with our family and the one's we love. On this day no one would have to go to work, everyone could just stay at home relax and enjoy the day. The special event that will take place is everyone will have a picnic outside and cooking on the grill. The type of symbol that would be associated with this holiday would be people sitting in chairs or on a couch.

Famous person I would want to meet.

A famous person I would like to meet is Blake Griffin. He is a great basketball player and it would be cool to get to meet him. I always wonder if he always knew that one day he would be in the NBA. If that was his goal when he was little. Also how it felt when he achieved all those awards and was the number one pick for the Clippers.

Reading Month

March is reading month and my favorite childhood book was any of the Gary Paulsen books. These book's are my favorite because they are full of adventure. I did not have someone read to me on a regular basis when I was little. When  I was little I had more time to read books and these are the ones you would always find on my desk for when  I had spare time to read.

 Most teenager's today don't like to read because its time consuming. They want to do other things than read books. Most want to play on the computer or some sort of electronic devise. I am one of those teenager's that do not like to read. I don't like to read because I find it very time consuming.  I don't have time to sit down and read a book, I am always busy doing chores around the house, working, or practicing for the sports I play. I also find reading a book puts me to sleep, I end up falling asleep a few pages into the book. It would take a lot to get teenagers interested in reading again. You would have to take away all forms of technology and you would have to not let them go outside. That might not even be enough because they may just sit around or sleep. You would probably have to force them into reading.

Pet Peeve

I have a lot of pet peeves. One of my pet peeves is people moving around, talking, and just plain out making noise when it is suppost to be quiet or when I would like it quiet. Another one of my pet peeves is when someone is chomping gum. Another is when people eat and are noisy about it. My reaction when this happens is I get really ticked off. I have to hold back from screaming at them. It just drives me crazy.
