From Paper to Plastic !

So, I got my restricted license last week! Now, I have photo I.D.! The dumb thing is, to get said license, you have to have a birth-certificate and another form of "secondary identification". What I want to get is, how is a 15 year old supposed to have a plethora of I.D.? AND, the nasty people at the DMV wouldn't take a year-book as I.D., so they sent us to the bank to have some person sign a paper saying that I am, in fact who I am, and that dad is, in fact, my father. Dad and I kinda looked at each other, and were like, "duh, can't you tell? you need somebody from a bank to tell you that?". Man, some things are so dumb and time-consuming. AND, when I took the road test, the guy fussed at me for backing out of the parking space, even though I did it EXACTLY how the book tells you to! Then, he started this whole talk about how they should take that out of the book because "you can't fully control your vehicle if you don't have two hands on the steering-wheel at all times"... And then he got onto me about the way I stopped, and said I didn't come to a "complete" stop, because he didn't get slammed back in his seat. Sigh, if he thinks I did bad, he must not have been the one to give Lana her road test, because there would've been no way she could have passed it.;P

Something kinda cool is, when I was getting the license, I got to say I wanted to be an organ donor. Not that I want to have to donate any organs right now, but it's cool to know that if something were to happen to me, I could maybe give somebody a chance for a better life...

Anyways, mom and dad's anniversary was Friday, so they went up to Tulsa and Lana and Luke came to our house to help out(or was it, "make out"???;P).

On Sunday, Tim didn't end up showing the FtF video, but we still had like, 15 people sign-up to go, and several more were going to think about it. Not too bad, seeing as how they didn't know hardly anything about it...

What else? umm, Brandon and I each started an iPod Touch fund. We figure, by the time we get enough money for them, they'll be cheaper, at least, I hope so... I'm not gonna buy any extra little stuff, and I'll save my b-day and Christmas money, splitting it between savings and my fund, so it shouldn't take more than a 1/2 million years or so to get enough...;P



Now for an outlook on the not so distant future.

We're going to some friend's house on Friday(that's getting more and more rare as our family get bigger, I don't think we'd fit at a lot of tables ;P)! We start school next Monday, and spanish class starts the Tuesday, so that's cool. Microbiology starts the 25th, so that's pretty awesome too.

Oh, duh! FtF is less than two weeks away!! I almost forgot to mention that. I'm really excited that the CCC youth group is finally going!! I'm hoping more people will sign up to go next week.



I'm gettin' hungry, so, I'm gonna go now

Happy Independence Day to YOU!!!!!!!

I LOVE the 4th of July!!!

Fun, food, fireworks, festivities, fun-ness, fire stuff, umm, I'm running out of words.

Anyways, it's one of my favorite holidays. I'm just gonna write a few quick things 'bout what's been going on, in no particular order.



We re-painted and replaced carpet in Lana's room, so it's now the playroom. Which means that the house should stay a little bit cleaner... I hope.

We got a bunch of stuff from Granny's house, and most of it is put up, I think.

Brandon and I have been riding T.J.'s dirtbike some, in our spare time. I finally got some "big" air!! Meaning like, 1 1/2 to 2 feet above the ground...

T.J. finally started posting on his blog, which is cool.

I still haven't thought of a good name for my kitten, and she's several months old. So, I'm open to suggestions.*hint*hint*

The pool-water is warm now, which is good because I strongly dislike cold water.

We're getting a new TV today, I think, but it might be later. Then, once we get it setup, we're gonna watch the "Two Towers" platinum edition!!!! I'm excited about that, 'cause the only extended one I've seen is the "Fellowship of the Ring", and it was AWESOME!!!

Umm, what else? T.J. is coming over later today.



I can't think of anything else worth saying, so, God bless, have a fun fourth, don't burn yourselves(I tend to do that with fireworks)!!!
