Thought it was about time I posted on here again! Things as of late for the most part have been great (hey that rhymed!). Yeah sooo... I do actually have some significant news this time! And no, you don't have to guess, I'll tell.
:D We're actually moving!!! To that place in the picture right up there ^^^, it's a place in the country not far from here (about three miles or so). You probably already saw that on Alyssa's blog, but I wanted to announce it anyway. I love the place!!! It has a little bit more than 1 1/2 acres of land (partly wooded). The house itself (on the right in the pic) is very nice plus there is a seperate apartment over the garage (see that on the left) to rent out (it already has renters, so that's good). We're supposed to move there the end of July. In the garage is a seperate little room that we could keep rabbits in. It's going to be sooo fun to be able to keep more pets again! Besides getting more rabbits, I want to get guinea pigs and birds (at least, LOL). We might even eventually get another border collie puppy to keep Guy company! Across the street is a dog kennel, we found out they hire teenagers to help out so I'm hoping to get a job there possibly. Oh and speaking of animals, our next-door neighbors-to-be have horses (yay!!)! Alyssa wants to get chickens... I don't eat eggs so I don't really care for that idea quite so much, but they're going to eat eggs anyway so why not let them have free, organic, free-range eggs? Anyway, I'm getting so Off Topic!!! So I might as well get on to the next bit of wonderful news...
I passed 9th grade yesterday!!!! YIPPPEEEEEEE!!! And for my sophomore year, I'm planning on doing Pennsylvania Leadership Charter School.
AND I got a job yesterday! Picking strawberries (hence the celebratatious new background)! It's at a family-owned farm called Schmidt Farm. I started this morning (early (well, 8:30-ish) ), and worked up until 1:00. My employers are very very nice and I had fun working there! I get paid 75 cents for every quart I pick and today I picked 37 quarts (9.25 gallons), which added up to almost $30. I hope I do that well every day! It is very tiring in that your legs and back get sore and burn from bending and crouching while you pick (if you've ever picked strawberries before, you probably know what I mean). I'm thankful it was rainy/overcast and cool for my first day of work so I didn't get too warm! After strawberry season ends, I'll be working picking blueberries. That should be easier on me because I will get to stand up while I pick. I'll be working there all summer. Well, I'd better go... Peace out!
