Time for an update!

Hello Everyone!

I have been busy as usual. I will tell you a bit of what I've been doing....

Last weekend Me, Connor, my Dad and Bro. Andy all went to Donnor for two nights. It was very fun. We hiked a lot and also did a lot of fishing. I caught one fish and my Dad caught one fish. We stayed in a very nice cabin. On Saturday, we all came home so tired. But it was fun altogether!

Because of the trip, I got a tad bit behind on my schoolwork but I think I'm all caught up now. I love doing school. It is so much fun! Chemistry is probably my hardest subject... it uses a lot of Algebra and equations. But I really like it. It is very interesting.

United States history is a breeze. The thing that takes the longest is reading all the literature that goes along with it. I have gotten A's so far in all of my subjects.

I will be starting Driver's Training sometime in the near future. The papers are having a hard time being transferred to the right place but I think we got it this time. Hopefully by the end of the month I'll have started training.

The pasture is coming along quite well. I have put the pony on the back half so that the front half can grow up some. If all goes well I might be able to get my sheep next February. I think I will be well prepared by then. I still have some fencing to do but that's about it.

It is so amazing how fast time flies. It seems the older you get the faster time gets away from you. It just seemed like Christmas yesterday but now the Christmas season is coming around again. I can't believe we're already halfway through September!

Hopefully we'll have a good winter. I am planning on planting more fruit trees. I have a pineapple guava tree coming in the mail sometime this month. I also need to get another almond tree. I will probably plant a lemon also and possibly other types of citrus.

Another project: I want to get a vineyard growing. I have one grape vine in which I am going to take several cuttings off of to plant in the spring. Hopefully by the year 2010 we'll have grapes coming out our ears!

I am excited about the coming months. This is my last year of school. I don't know whether to be happy or sad about that fact. I like the feeling of accomplishment...but there are so many benefits to staying in school. I could take another whole year of college without having to pay a penny. But I think I would rather graduate this year.

Well that's the update for now. When I find my pictures of our trip I will post some.
