Thankfully she went peacefully though none of us managed to get there to be with her...my brother and grandfather were only five minutes away when she passed. I at least got to say my final goodbyes but it still doesn't seem real. Her memorial ( Read more... )

Well today was Fire's first show. It was at Carousel Farm in Sterling. We got first place in the model class out of four.He was good until it came time to load him on the trailer. Four hours of trying to cajol then force him on the trailer led to no results until my dad came with our trailer as we had hitched a ride with my cousin. He refused ( Read more... )

I guess it's time for an update. This semester has been pretty crazy. I'm glad it's almost over though I still have a ton of stuff due before finals as well as catch up in a few of my classes. I've developed an anime addiction which is bad for the school concentration. The good news is that I got an internship at Electric Boat making pretty ( Read more... )
