So usually I don't blog a lot... BUT, I had a little adventure today- and it kind of has to do with the post from yesterday. So yesterday I never got to the library because by the time I got to Nathan's mom the library was going to close in like 5 min. I went home.

Today I decided I was going to ride my bike to the library to take the books bag. After dragging Preston out of bed to come with me we started our journey. He twisted his ankle a couple of days ago and it is still a little sore so I told mom to listen for her phone in case "Preston's ankle..." So we are practically to the library- and I am crossing the railroad tracks when CRASH, BANG, CRACK...

and the rest is history...

My arm is pretty banged up, I don't really know if you can see it in the picture...
Mom sprayed hydrogen peroxide on it, that stuff kills! I started crying and she had to blow on it for me (just like a little kid ;)
I don't know how I will be able to pull espresso shots tomorrow at work. pathetic.

Blogger is being lame and won't upload my shoulder picture, but I scraped up my shoulder, chest and here is my knee it's all cut up and bruised (war wounds right?), I suck at photography so they aren't very good.
The sad thing is when I was falling instead of thinking "oh my gosh, I am going to die..." or "oh no, I'm not wearing a helmet..." or even just "yikes, I am falling." I totally thought "oh my gosh, my bike, it can't get scratched."

PS: I bought this really cute, sweet new trek bike for the summer. That's why I was so worried about it.


My bike is fine (only a few scratches) and I am too. But who is going to spray hydrogen peroxide, blow on my cuts, and kiss my "ow-ies" when I grow up? Sometimes I just need my mom- and no one else will really do the job.

A little hopin' and a little prayin'

In a week I will probably forget...

* the man who cut me off today
* the argument I had with my parents at dinner
* that I bit my canker sore really hard and it started bleeding... twice
* that it was a bad hair day
*that no one helped me with closing stuff at work
(so we left late...)
* and my nail polish chipped right after I painted them

but I probably won't forget the little boy who changed my day around.

Every morning in my prayers I pray that I can make a difference in someone's life (mom does it. I thought it was a good idea so now I do it too.) Anyways, I was on my way to the library to return a couple books when I saw a little boy crash and burn really hard on his bike (He's probably like 10 or so). I immediately pulled over, ran across the street (he was bawling really hard), and lifted his bike off of him. He had road rash all up his arm- luckily he was wearing a helmet. After asking him if he was ok- I offered to take him home... he said yes, I wheeled his bike to my car. Anyways to make a long story short- we both agreed it probably wasn't smart if he got in my car because I was a stranger, he couldn't get a hold of his mother so I drove to his house and told his mom what had happened. After a couple "Thank you-s" she went to get little Nathan.

I don't blog this story to toot my own horn or anything-
but I was shocked at how quickly my day turned around.
They always say that when you think about others,
It makes you happier.
I don't think I really understood that principle until today.
Thank You Nathan-
for teaching me a little bit more
about love and service.

We "moo-ed" one too many times...

The funniest thing happened to Kali and I. Tonight we went on a bike ride, it was super adventurous. We went up to this steep grass hill and totally rolled down it like little girls then tried to run up it as fast as we could. It was super hard and way funny- anyways we both had to pee really bad and we weren't very close to home and we wanted to stay at this place a little longer so we peed in this shed thing (it was a bathroom shed thing... it was super nasty.) Then Kali wanted to show me where her crush lived so we rode by this kids house, pretty soon it was getting way dark and our legs were kind of tired so we pulled over by this cow farm to take a little break. We walked over to the fence and I was like, "let's moo at these cows (they were all laying down) and see if we can get them up." so we started moo-ing really loud, over and over again. All of a sudden one stands up- Kali and I were feeling pretty good about ourselves so we kept doing it. Then another stood up, and another. Before we knew it they were coming right at us and they were doing the snorts... YIKES! Then we heard this dog start barking and Kali said, "that dogs right there (pointing behind the blue silos)" I didn't believe her because I couldn't see it- "It's probably going to get the farmer..." I chuckled. Then we started getting on our bikes to ride away and Kali does just one more "moo." All of a sudden I see this sheep dog bolt out (if you haven't seen one of these dogs book it... they can haul) right at Kali- she totally starts screaming and takes off in a sprint up the road. After kali sprints past me and the dog starts chasing me I start sprinting as well- it was so scary! I have never been so scared by a stupid little dog in all my life, looking back it's hilarious but I seriously thought that stupid thing was going to bite my leg off. I recorded the moo-ing on my cell phone so if I figure out how to get it off my phone i'll post it.

School's Out for the Summer

I can't believe that I am a junior in college now... I am so old. The semester went super fast and I am sure that the summer will too. Here are my plans for the summer-
1. Paint
2. Scrapbook
3. Sew
4. Tan
5. Read/write
6. Make a dress

12. Play the piano
13....

I am sure the list will continue but that's what I have so far. I always just waste my summer away but this summer I am going to be productive! I like getting up early recently (weird I know) but I feel that I get so much more accomplished in the day.
