New post. Finally.

I suck at this having a blog thing. I never remember to post on it. :(

Really so much has happened since I posted on here last. There's been good and bad, ups and downs. The last few weeks have been extremely hard. My brother's best friend, Jacob Bernier, passed away. I guess God knows what's best though. :'( As for good things, I sent in a form to be an exchange student in Italy. They just sent me a email back today saying that I'm excepted into the first step. There's still a lot of things to do for that. I'm one step closer though and that's kinda exciting. I'm taking Italian this year also, for anyone who doesn't know that. Although I talk a lot on facebook and in person, so I'm pretty sure almost everyone who reads my blog already knows that.

I got my first deer during hunting season this year! It was a fawn doe though, no prize there. I'm sure it will taste perfectly dandy though. :) I hunted with my friend Rachel, we hunted on the Nelson's land. It was super nice of them to let us hunt there!

Over the summer I didn't do anything that great. I went to Yellowstone. I guess that was fun. It's incredibly pretty there, and I'd definitely suggest to go there if you get the chance. We saw some cousins there too.

I don't like school this year. The classes are way harder than I expected and I'm not doing as well as I had hoped. I'm not failing or anything. I just don't really like it. There hasn't really been any fantastic highlights.

I was going to go learn how to make lefse tonight with Kelly M. but my mommy decided that it wasn't worth the yummy lefse that we'd get to have me gone. (Don't know what's up with that, I'd exchange me for lefse any day!) :)

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving obviously, so everyone better have a totally awesome day! :) I can't wait to get fat tomorrow! That's definitely on my list of things to do. I'm going black Friday shopping, I'm leaving to go to Rachel's house in the evening, and we're going to Grand Forks with another friend, Marisha, at midnight. I'm probably going to be so tired by the time we get back! I'm sure we will have a blast though! :)

Stupid Minnesota

The Snow

My sisters and me being dorks.

On Christmas morning we left for Grandma's house! we had a fun time down there I got to see my friend Brittany and my brothers girlfriend Cassi came over for a evening, we also visited my great grandparents in the nursing home.

We came home on Wednesday, Yesterday I was planning on going to my friend Amanda's house for a sleepover, I haven't seen her for awhile because of school. But then the blizzard hit. I guess it was all over Minnesota in southern MN they had heavy rain, we just had snow and wind and cold, yuck!

Tonight we have some family friends coming over for new years eve!

Surprising...

Suprisingly I've actually been updating my Gluten free cooking blog and hopefully I will keep it up... heres a link to it. I made a chocolate upside-down cake today that was really good.

Funeral

This afternoon one of my best friends Stephanie and I went to Fosston for Erin Olson's funeral. Mrs Olson was a Spanish teacher at RLCC I didn't really know her that well but her daughter Alexi is in my grade, so that's why I went. Thanks for driving me Steph! :)

Sounds like life to me aint no fantasy!

The title is a country song that when I was trying to think of a title it popped into my head. :)

My friend Cassi has a blog heres a link to it!

Today day I went black Friday shopping with my awesome friend Alexxis! It was pretty fun we left at like 5:30 this morning and went to kmart, jcpennys then mcdonalds. When we went to leave Mcdonalds we tried to unlock the car door and it woulds open! It was really funny we had to go inside while Jesse, the guy who brought us, tried to jack open the car. It wouldn't work and we could see he wasn't getting anywhere so we went and asked for help. A worker guy came out to help us and as soon as we stepped out the door Jesse got the door open!

So we went to Walmart and once we got everything checked out and went out to the car it wouldn't start! Then finally the batteries died! It was pretty epic! I think Jesse was getting kinda frustrated though. :)

So Alexxis mom came and picked us up in TRF and we went to Alexxis house for awhile till mom came to pick me up. Mom kinda forgot to come so I had to call her eventually and remind her and then she came. It was pretty funny at the time though!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! :)
