Air soft wars, "semi famous people" and generousity

Okay, the title is a lie. There's only one air soft war that's being talked about in this blog. I'm sorry for the deceit :'(

Today a bunch of us went to my friend Jacob L.'s house for an airsoft war. This is pretty amazing because non of us even knew where he lived, he suggested it, and he rarely joins us for get togethers. We were all pretty excited to go! We spent the first hour just messing around with the guns and laughing at Sara because she literally knew nothing about how to use them. Then his dad said there was food, and I was really hungry from track practice, so I look at Autumn and she looks at me. We both put down our guns and got food. It was kinda awkward because we don't know Jake's family and we kinda just walked in without him. 

  • The air soft war was like all airsoft wars. Everyone running around trying to not to get shot while trying to shoot someone else. Somethings that were different were:
  • Jacob wound up on the roof at one point and I assume trying to snipe people with a pistol seeing how he didn't have either of the two rifles.
  • I was hit IN the mouth. Ricocheted off my tooth and everything.
  • Calvin got hit in the face with the CO2 pistol by Autumn, who happens to be his girlfriend. There was some blood
  • I slid into the ditch
  • The German exchange student is totally boss at airsoft wars
  • Jake is very sneaky!!
Then afterwards we all just hung out for a couple hours, before heading home. It was a good day!

"semi famous people"

The Jacob Fannin house concert was cancled, but I've still been talking to Jacob, you know asking questions and what-not. I'm kind of a question asker, and frequently learn total strangers' life stories! :) I told Jacob L. that I was talking to Jacob Fannin again and this is part of the conversation that then transpired:
10:39pm
Jacob L.
awesome weird



I don't really talk to a lot of famous or  semi-famous people. Just 2 or 3 maybe 4. I don't know, it just kinda happens!!


Generousity, This past year I have come to realize how kind and generous people in my life are. I mean they should be recognized or something. Not just for the things they do for me, but what they do for the community, for the ways they enrich the lives of others around them. That's what the world needs, more people like them. Thank you for everything you have done, you help make the would a better place one person at a time.

BSU Meet Two

Well yesterdays meet was pretty interesting. For starters there were 29 schools crammed into one small building. That was horrible, it got very hot and very crowded fast. The best part was that my friend Maggie was there! Which also means that Colton was there. That was so awkward. Just an FYI this post is about the social aspects that went on during the meet and not so much the actual meet stuff. I'll start with Colton because the rest of it is just weird ... Anyways, Colton was there. I tried to avoid him as best as I could but due to the fact that he long jumps, or maybe it was triple jump I wasn't really paying attention, and that our camp was right next to the pits I saw a lot of him. Also I hung out at Maggie's team's camp and he's on her team. Turns out she doesn't have that high of an opinion of him either. It was really creepy because he kept looking at me, like every chance he got! Then he comes up tp me and accuses me of stalking him! Maggie and I w...

Mother's Day

So today is Mother's Day, but my mom just went back to work. (She's been on medical leave because of a stress fracture in her leg. She couldn't wait to get back to work and so on Thursday when she got the go ahead, she got herself scheduled for 12 hour days all weekend. It's like she was never here again.) So instead if the usual breakfast in bed, which she winds up throwing a fit about anyways, I've cleaned the house. That doesn't sound like much, but the boys are such pigs that the house is always nasty. My mom is like OCD, and can't stand it. So coming home to a clean house will be much appreciated. If it stays clean that is. Not even 5 minutes after I finished cleaning the living room/dining room area it was somewhat messy. Squirt had dumped out the entire sock bag all over the living room, there were a pair of dirty shoes on the arm of the couch belonging to my 21 yr old brother Josh who should know better by now and a jacket on the ground. Normally I...

Timberman Triathlon

Okay, this one really is going to be short. I don't really have much to say besides what's about to be said. So....read on! First off do you know what a triathlon is? Or what the Timberman triathlon is? You don't? Let me explain then. A triathlon is where you swim, bike, and run. You're timed in each event and your transition time (how long it takes you to go from one event to the next) also counts against you. The Timberman is a triathlon held in Grand Rapids MN. It has a long course (mile swim, 26.2 mile bike, and a 10K run. But don't quote me on the bike) and a sprint course (1/3 mile swim, 13.1 mile bike, and a 5K run, but don't quote me on the bike again). It's a fun event put on every year and draws a nice crowd of people from every age and fitness level. I did the short course and this is how it went: Swim The swim was by far my worst event. I did it in my sports bra and spandex shorts (last year I did it in normal shorts and nearly lost them!...
