Okay, so when I said that I was starting up this blog again in my last post...I lied. Not intentionally, but it happened.

Yesterday was the celebration of my Aunt's 50th birthday. There was a fair number of people there, but it was great because we spent the entire day outside in the backyard.

So when we got there I, of course, after saying hello to everyone, even people I didn't know because the family is like that, I grabbed a beer. People kept giving me strange looks of surprise. Then when they would talk to me of course my age came up and everyone was surprised that yes, I am twenty years old. A few asked if I was sure that was true.

Of course, there was family drama as well. A girl on my Aunt's side of the family, meaning not related to me by blood in any way, is pregnant. Her name is Sarah and she's the same age as me but uh, her boyfriend is very nice and cute. So I was sitting by the table eating dinner with my mom, aunt, other aunt, uncle, and people I didn't know. Sarah wasn't there at the time. Of course, we love to gossip, so my other aunt said in hushed tones to her husband, "Did you know Sarah's pregnant?" and naturally, he turns to me with his eyes wide with shock. "You're pregnant?" yeah, classic. Mom assured him quite quickly that I am not pregnant, the other Sarah is. Then she turned to me and said "you better not be pregnant." Thanks Mom.

So it took a while but eventually I got bored and started a water fight with my younger cousins and their friend. It was fun, we had a blast. Sarah's boyfriend, Daniel, told us we should use the hose so I grabbed it but for some reason I got more water on me than my cousins...thats my luck I suppose.

We stopped eventually because it was getting sort of chilly and went up to the deck where Sarah, Daniel and my Dad were and started talking. Then Daniel said something like "I wish I was still your guys age and could have fun like that." Then I told him, "You still can have fun like that." He and Sarah just kind of looked at me weird and my Dad was chuckling. Then Daniel asked "How old are you?" "20." "Oh..wow." Then Sarah said, "You fit in with them." Talking about Gabrielle (10) and Elise (also 10) sitting on both sides of me. Thanks...now I look like a ten year old. I guess it didn't help that Elise is the same height as me.

So Daniel and Sarah were leaving and Sarah left but then Daniel came back demanding a hug from everyone and I tried to stay clear by heading over to my Dad but Elise had other ideas and pushed me right into him. Dude almost fell down the stairs. Oh but that was a very nice hug, I enjoyed it very much for the second it lasted. If he didn't have a girlfriend...mmmmm

So that pretty much finished off the day and then we went home and I went to sleep almost right away. I hadn't run around like that in a very long time.

Now I'm just waiting for a person to get back to me with an interview time and also waiting for a call back from a person I had an interview with on Friday. I'm half-hoping I don't get that job though..I don't like the idea of having to get up at four in the morning every morning for 14 days straight for every horse show and then six in the morning for the rest of the time. We'll see though, I suppose.

Oh, and my parents and I are still looking at houses for sale. On Tuesday we're going to see a few more places. There is one that I'm pretty excited about. It is about 10 acres of land with a house and a cottage on the property. Guess who would get the cottage all to themselves, me, that's right! I would also get to build a barn on the property which would be fantastic, no paying expensive boarding fees!

I'm also starting up western riding on Monday. No more scary jumping for me! I actually had a dream about riding there last night...it was really weird. So my Dad and I went there and there was a horse already tacked up for me and there were a bunch of guys there too talking about cows. I went up to the woman who would be teaching the lesson and she was very distracted, never looked at me. She told me to grab the horse and walk into the arena so I did, but she didn't follow me. There was a guy in the arena so I went over to talk to him and I was just about to get on the horse when the woman came back and took the horse from me. We walked back to the barn where the guys were bringing in a glowing green cow (I blame farmville for this) and started gutting it and taking off its skin. The woman started yelling and I started running and then the guys tossed the skin onto my back and I woke up.

So after I got there my Dad was no where to be found and I didn't even get to horseback ride.

Breakfast is almost ready so I'm gonna go eat.
