Time for DIG 29!!! :)
1) Today was a good day for the most part. We went out for breakfast and just wandered around. All 3 of us. :)
2) Dad bought me this AMAZING knitting book. It has awesome projects that are actually totally Playa projects. LOL Can you tell I'm a Burner's daughter? :)
3) I got to see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince today with Shannon and Dad. It was actually pretty good. Now Dad and I feel the need to reread books 6 and 7 LOL
4) I have yet another new layout. Yea, the other one wasn't loading on my computer for some reason. It said that Photobucket had deleted it. Yet when I went on my Photobucket account, it showed up...So, NEW LAYOUT! :D This one is in honor of baby Adelyn. But, that's another story for another time :)
5) I designed a background for Shannon's blog and you should totally check it out. Both her blog and the background I made. :) Designing backgrounds for blogs has become my new addiction...Help me feed my addiction.... ;)
Well, I'm off to mark which knitting projects I want to do for who and in what color(s) in my book. I love my post-its :) Night everybody!

DIG 27
Finally doing another DIG....Wow...I've gotten WAYY behind on these....lol Ok, here's at it. lol
1) My dad taught me how to drive stick shift today!!! I still need LOTS of practice at it, but at least now I kinda know how to drive a stick lol
2) We started to clean up the house a little bit. Like, all three of us pitched in. Totally different than what I'm used to at Mom's house....
3) I got some good 1-on-1 time with my dad. That doesn't get to happen very often when we're out there, but between driving with him and the time we were spending together while watching the Harry Potter marathon on ABC Family tonight, we actually got that time together :)
4) I got to drive today :D lol yes, I know that I said above that I learned to drive stick....BUT, I haven't driven in exactly 3 weeks. So, I'm soooo glad I got to drive again today!!!
5) This one is good and sad at the same time....I saw pictures of my gorgeous little girls today....
Nathalia Rose....
And her little sister Adelyn Noelle. (ignore my mom please in the above picture LOL couldn't find a picture of just her haha)
Well, seeing the pics from Nat at the beach with her mom and stepdad and then seeing the picture of Adelyn sleeping on Jeremy's chest made me soooo happy cuz I love those girls sooooo much. But at the same time, seeing them also made me so sad. Cuz I miss them just as much as I love them. Like, I was watching this commercial on TV about toddlers and how they need good food to energize them. Well, that had me thinking about how Nat will just go outside and run around with my dogs and then when she gets tired, she'll crawl up on my lap and watch Noggin (So glad we have OnDemand LOL). Which made me miss her like crazy. And then I thought about her sister. And how adorable she is and how she already would look up at me and smile. Or, it looked like a smile to me haha. Tomorrow she will be 5 weeks old. And she is just so too cute.
Gah....I'm making myself miss my two girls even more!!!! I'm gonna stop before I cry! haha
Hope your day was good! :)

Hmmm
Just got home from learning how to drive stick shift.......
It was........
interesting........
Yea, that's the word I want to use.
My dad had me start the car without actually turning on the engine. Like, going downhill on this one part with the electrical stuff on and with the car in second and then taking my foot off the clutch. Scared the crap outta me. lol He purposely had me stall a few times. And there were a few times when I stalled completely by accident lol Like, when he wanted me to do a U turn and I accidently stepped on the gas instead of the brake & clutch. So, I stepped on the brake like I would in an automatic. Yea, I learned the hard way that you have to step on the clutch when you do that too. lol
He said that I had the basics down tho, and that I wasn't a bad driver. Now I just gotta practice alot before my birthday. Cuz I am so driving my car to robotics that night :)
I am SO glad I know many people who have stick shifts and would gladly help me practice :)

Happy Father's Day, Daddy!!
For the first time in years I got to spend father's day with my dad. Because he lives 3000 miles away from me, it's not easy to spend this day with him each year. My dad has always been there for me when I needed him. No matter what it was about or when the last time was that we talked. He knows my family better than anybody else does, and he knows why I am the way I am. For 16 years he has always been here for me when I needed somebody to talk to. And I know that until one of us dies, it will always be like that.
My dad is the best dad ever. I am never always the best daughter to him. I argue with him and say nasty things to him sometimes. Yet he never fails to love me. And believe me, I don't deserve it half the time. Ok, most of the time. But, he loves me. He is an amazing dad.
Happy Father's Day, Daddy! I love you so much!!

Oh, how I am thankful for things/people
I'm very thankful today. And here are the things/people I am thankful for:
1) Mrs. Burke - She met with me today and listened to what I had to say about Mike. She said she was going to talk to him and have the vice principal talk to him as well. She says that they can't really write him up cuz no teacher actually heard him say it, but I'm pretty sure she is gonna try to. Either that, or I'll have other people tell her that they heard him say it, cuz I know they did.
2) Having a working lawn mower - Poppop cut the front yard, and I cut the rest of it today. On my awesome riding mower. You have no idea how happy I am about that. I learned how to mow my lawn with the push mower, and I hated every second of it. My grandfather's best friend promised me that when he died, I would get his John Deere. Well, his son tried to make my grandfather pay an ungodly price for it, so my grandfather said no. And now, the house that his friend lived in hasn't sold either. So, we're thinking that it's because Marvin's son didn't do what he wanted to. Back to my story....lol So, I didn't get the John Deere, but my grandfather did buy a different one from somebody down the street from us, so now I have a rider mower that works beautifully. :)
3) Drama from last year is behind almost everybody - Last year, there were some issues with some of the academy girls in the year ahead of me. They got worse in the beginning of the year, but after about a month or so of me and Collin going out, the issues got better. Now they are completely better and over with. And this afternoon right after school got done, Cara (one of the ones who didn't warm up to me right away) looked at me and said cheerfully, "See you tomorrow at prom!!" and gave me a big smile. Which makes me feel tons better cuz Collin and I are sitting with Cara, her boyfriend, Bonny, Sam, Christian, and a few other people tomorrow night at prom as well.
4) My friends - While yes, Cassie has now officially dropped out of school, she says she'll try her hardest to be at my house tomorrow to see me all dressed up and she'll definitely be at pre-prom to see me. My friend Addam (inside joke on his name lol) said that if Mike says anything again, he'll take care of things and then made me laugh by making fun of Mike. Montrey said that he'll back me up on things with Mike. Eric said that he'll back me up too.
5) My dad being a lawyer - Knowning that he is a lawyer helps me stay calm in most situations. I know that if nothing happens with Mike saying things that if I just mention that Dad is a lawyer and handles things like this periodically, something will be done about it. I also know that he goes into court for things all the time and he is always under stressful situations. Knowing that helps me realize that no matter how hard things get for me, I can always make it through them.
6) My boyfriend - You knew that one was gonna be put on here. I can be as mad as I want to be, and he is always able to make me laugh. No matter how crappy I think I look or how mad I am, he always makes me feel better by saying 3 simple words: I love you. He always thinks I look gorgeous and he can make me smile and laugh as if it's as simple as blinking.
My mind went blank on the other things I was going to write that I'm thankful for. I did have to say those 6 things tho. Like, I just had to.

He's my hero =]
Ok, two certain guys are my heroes right now. Like, they've always been my heroes, but today especially they are my heroes.
First one is my dad. Last night when I emailed him asking if we could talk today about an issue, he responded (after I had fallen asleep) that if he had gotten the email earlier he would have called me right then to talk to me. And when we started talking around 4 ish, he listened to me complain about stuff, and then started talking to me about my issues. First he let me dish it all out tho. He's always been there for me, and for the longest time I hated him practically. I wish I didn't, and I wish I had seen the lies I had been fed during that entire time.
My other hero is, of course, Collin. After he left and was over at his grandparents' for alil while, I had texted him (not knowing he was there) and said just 4 simple words. Next thing I knew, he walked into my back room and just gave me a big hug and gave me a kiss to try to help me calm down. Just him coming over to make sure I was ok means the world to me. He really is the most amazing boyfriend ever. And when we were standing in my kitchen a few minutes after he came to check on me, he just stood there holding me, not saying a word. I never knew just standing there in his arms would help me that much in calming me down. Of course, when he said he had to go, I got upset again. Not as upset as I was before he came, but still. I was - and still am - upset he had to leave, but I know he loves me. And I know it will never change =]
Ok, sorry, I just had to post this one. Cuz yea, while both my dad and Collin drive me INSANE at times, they mean so much to me, and today alone they have helped calm me down in more ways than one.
