| We're too cute! |
Then we got bored and took off(barefoot I might add) to the barn, ignoring the storm clouds that seemed to appear out of thin air. At the barn we found my little paint horse and pestered him for God knows how long. Kate had a fit over his long hair a.k.a "the fuzzies". She cracks me up! And somehow we started doing silly Indian sounding things and started singing the theme song to The Lion King while standing on the water trough. We're so freaking mature!haha And while we were being VERY mature while singing "O wimmabuwa O gimwabwawa" on the water trough(where there's water and a pipe fence and a very tall wooden pole thingy) we watched the lighting that was popping everywhere. Hey we're so Mature and Smart that it ain't even funny! huh yeah right....Anyway, I go back into the tackroom after a camera and check my phone. I've got 2 texts from mom and dad saying to "Watch the weather" and "come to the house". Alright so maybe it might be gonna storm. We gather our stuff up and walk to the house just as a Tornado Warning is issued for the county just west of us. So me and Kate and my dogs set on my porch and watch these clouds:
Delightful looking, huh?.....so this is what happens when I turn 16....
So me and Kate are on my porch:
And while we're on my porch/in the yard walking looking at the clouds, we(mostly me) update Facebook 1000 times on how Kate's stuck at my house(since her mama can't get to my house because of the storms) and how I'm having a great birthday. So we eat pizza an set in the carport for another 30 minutes. I go put on my new straw hat and get a flash light and act retarded for the next 10 minutes, making Kate and sister laugh. Update Facebook again saying that we've walked around the house and are sitting on the cellar. Then we decide(/get bored) that the storms have moved on and it's safe for Kate to text her mama and tell her that she can come get her. But until Mama Nikki gets here, me and Kate are gonna walk over to the shop and look at some M.A.S.I.V.E deer sheds. But as we walk out the back gate, I look over to the north west and see a firey glow and smoke, so I run back to the house and get dad. He calls around and decides that we need to go see where it is. Cool! So me and him and Kate load up in his Dodge and take off, deciding hat somewhere between here and there we'll find Kate's mama and let her out. We take off up the road, all the while dad's on the phone/texting everybody to see where the fire is. Eventually we find Danny who is sitting on the road watching the fire(which turns out to be a little farther away than I thought). Dad gets out and him and Danny talk for 15 minutes while me and Kate set in the Dodge and make fun of people. It's 9:00 when Kate's mom and dad find us, then of course, her dad has to get out and talk with my dad and Danny about the fire. Fast forward 10 minutes, me and Kate say goodbye, but not after her sweet mama and little brother tell me 'Happy Birthday' and I get to see Miss Dixie Reb(Kate's puppy). They leave and we set in the road for another 10 minutes before me and dad take off driving towards the fire after he finds out that it's on some land that his friend manages. Danny calls and says he's going to help, so dad decides that he's going back home after his fire truck and he asks if I want to go with him, duh of course! What's a better way to end my 16th birthday than to go to my first fire?! So this is what, me and Dad, Danny, and Grandpa rolled up too:
Not necessarily a big fire, but enough of one to burn grass that didn't need to be burned. So we left the fire around 11:00, oh did I mention that it's still storming? Lighting everywhere but no rain. We go home, get ready to call it a night and go to bed, turn the TV on and they're saying that there's a tornado coming. Great. So we all get back up and dressed, no tornado. Finally the storm passes and it starts raining. That's it I'm done, I'm goin to bed!
That was the end of my wonderful Sweet 16.
The next day was boring as all get-out. It's been boring ever since!
I'm taking Driver's Ed right now, I'm so ready to get my permit and eventually my licence!
I can't wait! Freedom, the open road, wind in my hair ect ect.....yeah now I'm just being sarcastic. Hopefully I'll have my licence by Sep. of this year.
Let's see what else....
OH the Springy weather! It's so wonderful! There's leaves on the trees and the grass is green on the earth is aLiVe!!:D I woke up this morning early just as the sun was coming up and looked out the window above my head at the trees by the porch. It was beautiful(:
I can't wait for hot weather and swimming! Hopefully I'll get to go stay some with Kate this summer too, along with helping ship B. Bros cattle out this July/Aug. Me and ol Tonto wild be raring(metaphorically speaking haha) to go!
I'm so ready to grow up. I know, I sound like a typical 16 yr old and every body says "stop wanting to grow up!" but really i am ready!! I guess I've got nothing but time tho....
I guess that's all the rambling I can do for tonight, I gotta Saddles and Psalms meeting on Facebook with the girlies at 8!:)
Thanks for readin!
