My life during the past week

JD and Sarah- Christmas 2010

Lots has happened in the past week! I will start where I left off with our Memorial Day weekend camping adventure. We camped for three fun filled nights at Ponca State Park in Ponca, Nebraska. It is a beautiful  place to hike, camp, ride horses, bike, or picnic. I haven't been there since my high school days, and the new visitor center is a fantastic addition! The first night went great, but the second night took a turn for the worse. I woke up in the night SOAKED on my whole right side. The air mattress had lost all of its air and I slept in a puddle of water all night! My boyfriend JD insisted that I peed my pants until I started to believe him, then finally stopped teasing me....jerk. We went hiking a couple of times, which I enjoyed.

I had my 8 month old niece stay the night with me and JD on Monday night, when we got back from camping. She's the cutest little baby. Every time I see her she always has a big smile for me, I like that :) She has been teething, which made her a little bit crabby, but as long as you make faces and dance around all day, she won't cry! And here is her most recent accomplishment... she started crawling yesterday!! I will post pics as soon as I get a chance.

Last, but not least, I will tell you about current events I have been keeping up with.

• First: The trial of Casey Anthony

This is such an intriguing story for me because a young girl, about my age, is being accused of murdering her own daughter. She was a very pretty woman & seemed to have a great family. Not like someone who could kill another person...especially her two year old little girl. I have always been intrigued by the criminal mind, and the story behind this case is unbelievable. To read about it or watch clips of her friends and family testifying in court, go to www.cnn.com/hln and click on Nancy Grace on top. Her blog contains the most current updates on the trial, as well as other stories she is following. http://nancygrace.blogs.cnn.com/

• Second: Flooding in the Midwest

We are gonna get wet! It's already starting; there's huge trucks hauling sand 24/7, Black Hawk choppers placing 1,000 lb. sandbags, the National Guard is coming out of the walls, and interstate exits are being barricaded due to high water levels. At 6:00 a.m. this morning, the Missouri River officially reached the flood level. We are fortunate enough that our home is not in danger, but we will have to move our horses to higher ground, as they are being kept close to the river. To see pictures and read stories on this crazy natural disaster go to http://www.siouxcityjournal.com/. That's all I have for now, stay tuned for updates!!

Just call me Mrs. Roboto.



Haylee & Sarah



SO, this is my very first time blogging and I can't wait to see what happens. My friend, Haylee is... Sioux City Pretty, introduced me to Blogger and here I am trying it out. I'm not blogging because I'm bored, I swear. But, since I'm not quite sure what to do with this I'm going to start out by telling you what my Memorial Day weekend will be like.



I'm going camping!! Yes, it's gonna rain and yes, I'm gonna hate it. My boyfriend insists on camping when it's supposed to hurricane outside, so I am tagging along to be a good girlfriend. I love camping, hiking, boating, etc. etc. etc. but I hate mud and wind.

Be safe on Memorial Day weekend! No drinking and driving, it will cost you a pretty penny!
