May

Let me start out with a little tale...

Once upon a time it was in the wee hours of the morning (2:06 AM to be exact). There was a B-E-A-UTIFUL princess and a handsome prince who were snuggled sleeping in their bed. There little pet doggie had to take a tinkle and jumped up on the bed to wake them up. The princess (who looks amazing for it being 2 o'clock in the morning) wakes up to take the sweet puppy outside. Upon opening the door to let the doggie out she sprinted outside and didn't even stop and leaped over the fence and out into the wide open world. The princess was afraid for her poor puppy so she put on her royal robes and stepped outside into the cool night air to retrieve her lost dog. She called and walked and called again and her sweet puppy was no where to be found. She climbed into her royal chariot to hunt for her lost friend. After searching for 30 minutes with no luck in retrieving her puppy she turned into the wicked witch of 2nd street and started calling and yelling for the BEAST to come home. Finally her luck would turn. She had trapped the aweful beast in a neighbors garden and with her laser pointer in one hand and a biscuit in the other she was sure the beast's capture was inevitable. The princess called and coaxed and begged the beast from HELL to come to her but with a blink of an eye the beast and lept over the bushes and was back on the run. With fire in her veins the princess stormed back into her castle and called for the prince to go and capture the beast. The prince awoke with a fright and assured the princess he would capture the beast and bring it home to be locked in the dungeon. Within 5 short minutes he had captured the beast and locked her in the dark and dreary kennel to spend the night. The time of capture was 3:15 in the morning. That afternoon the prince and princess set out to find a way to contain their beast. And this is what they found....

An electric fence. Not just any electric fence, an invisible fence. It can be buried in the ground so it is safe for people. The evil beast now wears a collar that has a little conductor on it that sends a little shock when the beast tries to get too close to the fence therefore preventing the beast from ever jumping it again. Now I am not a cold hearted person so I went ahead and shocked myself and Bradford to make sure we weren't turning her into fried chicken and it wasn't really anything more than a static electricity shock. But the problem of the fence jumping dog: SOLVED!!!


The beast cowering under the porch swing after being shocked two or three times. MUAHAHA! (Notice the little black box on her neck aka the solution to my problem)

On a happier note, Bradford and I were able to get together with the Kerby's for a night on the town and some sweet bowling. Unfortunately Taylor and I only beat the boys once ONLY because they acted like they couldn't bowl for the first game. Liars and cheats!


Despite the fact I swore I wasn't going to walk at graduation, the closer and closer it got to being time to graduate I got an itch. I wanted to have the experience and by-golly I was going to. So, I walked at EAC's graduation in May even after I had officially graduated in December. It was short and sweet and to the point.

Whitney, Dustynn, and I all sat by each other but when it came time to have our picture taken this FLK in front of us leaned in just enough to cover Whitney. You can barely see her waving hand behind his head. Stinking kid!

I called my parents a week before graduation to tell them I was going to walk. They reluctantly came down and supported me. Thanks mom and dad!

We are officially gardeners! We planted corn, watermelon, and tomatoes. This picture is from a while ago because we have already picked a couple of ears of corn and ate them and they were YUMMY!!! We haven't had that much luck with our watermelon. Everytime one starts to get bigger than a volleyball they crack open leaving all of its goodness out in the open to the elements. I hope we get one good one out of the bunch we have growing. Our tomato plants haven't faired so well either. They have bloomed like crazy but not a single tomato until today! I noticed one little green marble sized mater looking awefully delicious on the vine! MMMM MMMM!!!!
