Well I have finally gotten back to swimming. I am swimming for my school. So far it has went pretty well. I have met a lot of people..but one thing I can not stand..is that I have met a few people who were really nice to me until they found out I was a freshman.. now..its like I don't exist..I want to be like seriously..you are like a year older than me.. oh well. There are ten freshman on the team so thats good. The school that I think I am going to starts on Wednesday. yesterday me and my mom went shopping in Seattle which is about two and a half hours away from here. It was fun. We took the saying shop til you drop to a whole new level.
Today I have practice. Actually it is consuming my whole life. I have it every afternoon for three hours and then in about a week starts morning practices..which start at 5:45...three days a week...and they are required....so that sure will be fun. I can not wait...yippppeee.. Practice so far has not been too awfully bad except for the running..it is so hot out when we run.. But we did have one set that sucked..for you non-swimming people out there..technically we swam a mile sprint with very little rest..it was not fun..especially because I am out of swimming shape..but the coaches really like me..and are impressed with me..they have told both of my parents over and over and then me too. So thank you Pilot!! I want to go back there though..i loved that team..and the coach...even though I sang the classic song of Jackie Hates Me.. Jackie was my old coach..and the song is to the tune of Jesus Loves Me..its a classic song..I have even sang the abc's in my head before the practice has been so hard..but yes..i loved that team and coach..
So that is my update on swimming..i found it very ironic that even the url of this thing has to with swimming and I very rarely talk about swimming....

The gym....whew...
Ok..So since I have moved..we have all joined a new gym. This is not just some average gym. Nope. Both of my parents know the owners..of course..my dad especially knows everyone that lives here I am pretty sure. You can not go anywhere without seeing someone you know..haha..so anyways..they know the owners..They used to be trainers at this other gym..but then they started their own gym. And it is torturous. The one guy..his name is Chance...he looks at you with the evil eye and neither of them will not let you do any slacking and I would not dare to with them watching me..who knows what could happen..haha..
So both of my parents know the owners as I said before...one of them used to work out with my dad and the other one trained my mom. So I walk in there for the first day and my mom is like this is my daughter..bla bla..since its her first day..give her an easy workout..they both look at each other and say ok..she can do the same one you are doing...and im like..oh great..thanks..So I am doing whatever...and my mom's friend had like more than the weight of me on this one thing and she is like take that off..you don't need that much..and Chance is like..nope..she is Bob's kid..so she can handle it.. I am like..yes..if I was my dad..yes..but I am not my dad..haha..Now Chance calls me Bob..since thats my dads name..He is like "Is that ok with you? I am going to call you that forever anytime I see you, train you, or do anything" haha..That gym is miserably hard. Yesterday I was so tired I layed down in the parking lot when we were done.
Today while I was working out this guy came in and Mike was talking to him and was like so what have you been eating and stuff this week..and the guy is like..well I had a snickers..whew..Mike was not so happy to say the least..haha.I am glad I didn't eat any snickers..hehe..
So there is my story..long way short..I now go to a gym that is so ridiculous hard I think it could be called like abuse or something..haha.

Hello World!!!
Hi. I am alive. I did not fall off the face of the planet. I feel like I am so out of touch with the rest of the world. But I will catch up. I have been so busy it seems. We finally just today got internet. It took forever and ever. Oh well. I am glad I have it now.
I have so much to say I am not even sure where I should start at. I will just say whatever. So this summer..hmmmmm..we drove across the country. And if you put me, my mom, and my sister and two little dogs in a car all the way across the country..you are going to get tired of each other. haha. The whole way I kept telling my mom I wanted to just run. I wanted to get out and go running. I did not care where. And when these three people all wanted different radio stations on it could get difficult. But we survived. Even though we were going to stay in this God-forsaken town. My goodness. I do not think you could call it a town. whew. But we decided to drove a bunch more. fun fun.
So we got here...here is a town in the middle of Washington state..if I told you you would want to know how to say it and you would have never heard of it. But here I am. We arrived and within ten minutes..before I had even seen the house..we had one of my good friends from when we lived here before show up..and then..the neighbor lady. We do not live in a neighborhood..but off our gravel access road there are three other people. We have some property so we are not too close..thankfully..anyways..this lady..I have never seen someone talk so much. She came over the first day we were here..I had not even toured my own house..went to the bathroom..unloaded the car..nothing..she shows up and stays an hour and a half. whew..then she and her husband were at my house a week or so ago and they stayed three hours. long long time. she talks so much..but with the history of my house..i could talk a while too. It is a new house..but really long story short..the builder built it for himself but then he couldnt afford it so he had to sell it. there were all kinds of leins on the house. contractors and people were not paid..bla bla. It is quite the story..and of course we didnt know any of it when we started into offering on the house..even thats a story.. haha..
but so since we got here..we unpacked..and unpacked..and some more unpacking..we are finally pretty much unpacked though. We have cleaned..and ugh..cleaned..and guess who we had to dinner?? it was really stressful. we had my dad's boss who is from norway..some big high up guy from australia...a lesbian..and some other lady... haha..it was stressful..to say the very least.
and whew..I have done so much this summer. I have been so busy.
And I do not know where I am going to school. But here we do not start until September....unlike a school that starts on August 18th by chance..hmmmmm... anyways....I am going to go now because I am sure you are tired of reading..haha..
