much has changed since my last entry. i left for eldon tuesday morning and got back around 1:30 today. heather, hannah, and whitney were all in florida on a church mission trip so i stayed with jodi. plus it was kelsey's 16th b-day wednesday so of course i couldn't miss that. the 3 of us went out to eat at vista grande's and saw kicking and screaming. eh the movie was kinda stupid but the food was awesome. and i can't leave out the part where we were being followed by these 2 guys for like 10 minutes...freaky stuff dude. i bought her ladybug flip flops and candy..heh. i watched obsessive amounts of gilmore girls while i stayed at jodi's...incredibly soothing show to me for some reason. i laughed, i cried..it was theraputic. jodi and i went to the eldon drive in for lunch and ate it in the park. then we took our shoes off and treated our bare feet to the sensation of warm sand. then we swung..it was so great. i'd forgotten just how wonderful a day in the park is. heh...then later that day me, jodi, and laura played tennis - that was interesting. so anyways while we were sitting in the movie theatre waiting for the movie to start i decided to call patrick b/c i had nothing better to do. when i told him that kelsey saw him the other day in a black truck he refused to tell me whose truck it was and then he just stopped talking. i FINALLY decided/realized what a jerk he is and that i don't need to deal with that on top of all the other crap so i'm done. kaput. i give up. he's gone. no-more-patrick. on the other hand megan's bf(ryan) has this cousin mykel and they came up w/ a few others last weekend and hung out etc. well mykel thinks i'm hot (and believe me when i say he is) and so thurs. night jodi and i went to the high point baseball games and he was there and we flirted all night. my sister hates the idea but she said it was my decision. he took my phone and put his number in it....i'm not gonna call though. he can get mine and call me. lol. i dunno - i've observed that he's not the most reliable type of bf but heck i'm willing to give it a shot if he is. but we haven't even gotten that far yet...we'll just have to see where it leads but i'm not holding my breath. oooooo....i also got to work w/ my horse this week...she's doin an awesome job! she's such a sweetheart. i've decided to name her bonita. sorry.....i realize how long this is but since i'm not a frequent updater i figured i'd give you more for your money. tonight at work i was harrassed and pestered all night by terry and joe to go to a party their friend was throwing after work. i simply told them no b/c i don't drink and i'm not much for partying. terry was still a lil disapointed but he'll get over it. lol. surprisingly enough that was the first real time anyone has ever even attempted to get me to drink. that surprises me. ewww....i need a manicure, my nails are getting gross. lol. ok, i'm going to bed now. i feel like i've put in my fair amount. g'night all. much love & God bless!! ♥manda
