Its a Fact

Well folks, it's true. We have officially gotten our 2 $1,000 checks in the mail. Now at least one of us can go to school this summer. Yeah, free money is basically the best!

Dude Ranch part II

So yesterday I talked to Brittany and we decided that we're going to go in on this dude ranch together. Brittany (I guess Brandon too) will cook while Kaden and I do the rest. The only deal is that I have to let Kami-Bami ride horses any time she wants.

That got me thinking, I think this could be a great family investment. We could combine our skills to have the most wicked awesome place ever.

Clinton could grow a cowboy moustache so that people will come from miles around to look at it. Mandi could dig for gold and make us money. Dad could build an amazing swing set and run the farm. Mom could keep a watchful eye on the place and go for taco runs. Brandon and Brittany can cook. Well Brittany can and Bradon can eat candy or something. Cooper can give out candy to all the visitors. Landon can chillax. Kaden can make sure we don't get sued. And I can ride horses with Kami. Heck, maybe even one of our distant relatives has a ranch and is going to die soon.

So, all of those talents combined would be super rad.

P.S. If our distant relative doesn't die, there is a ranch in Montana for sale. Only 6.5 million. That's a STEAL!

Rollin' in the dough...almost

So last year, I was getting ready to pay my tuition bill when I looked into my account and saw a random scholarship. I couldn't figure out where I had gotten it and I felt really bad thinking that someone else was probably wondering where thier scholarship money went. So I called the scholarship office to see what the deal was. No one could figure out where it had come from and no one could see where it should go. So, I got to keep it.

Now, Kaden and I are trying to figure out how to pay for next year's tutition without having to take out a student loan. We've applied for a Pell Grant but it looks like we're not going to get it. So today Kaden talks to me and says that he got an e-mail from the financial aid office saying that he was awarded $1,000 in financial aid for the 2007-2008 school year (the school year that ends in May). So he goes and checks it out, and once again, no one can figure out where the money came from. It just popped up. Well, about 20 minutes ago, I checked my e-mail and lo and behold, I was also awarded $1,000 for the 2007-2008 school year. Supposedly we will be getting 2 $1,000 checks in the mail. That means our summer tuition is paid for! Yipee!

I don't know about you, but I would say that someone is watching out for us. But, if you feel the need, I'm sure that we can still accept donations. Just kidding!

Good News

So I have a few bits of good news. First of all, I'm not dying anymore and it feels pretty good. And I don't have anymore classes until March 17th. Man I love USU!

Dude Ranch

So Kaden and I decided quite a while ago that someday we would like some land to farm, or possibly ranch. But, today, I decided that we are going to start a dude ranch. I mean think about it. People pay you to "live the cowboy life" by scooping poo, riding a horse, and other things. Who wouldn't want to own a dude ranch?! Plus, I was researching them today and the average cost to stay on a dude ranch is $1,500 a week for ONE person. Now that's some easy money. So, if anyone would like to donate money, or land, to get our ranch started, it would be greatly appreciated! A bonus too: if you donate you can stay at our ranch for a 30% discount! Is that a great deal or what?

Still not complaining

Ok, so this past week I've had a hard time not complaining. If anyone even remotely knows me, they know that I do not handle sickness well. I have been switching to some new meds and ever since Wednesday afternoon, I have not been feeling well. First I thought that it was just the withdrawls from going off my first medicine. But I was just not getting any better. So my dear papa called the Dr and the Dr said "oh maybe her dosage is too high. " All I could think was hmm...this would have been helpful to me LAST WEEK! But after many days and nights of puking and not eating anything, I am finally feeling better. Minus the fact that several times a day I feel like Lucille 2 with her vertigo. And good news...I actually ate something for dinner! YIPEE!!

I must say that Kaden has been a trooper. I'm sure he wanted to kill me, I know I would have killed me if I was him. He has been making sure that I have everything that I need/want, he's done the laundry, he's done the dishes, he's kept everything tidy, he's gone and gotten me a burrito from Taco Time that I only kept down for a little while. I must say that he's been great. He's only said "ohhh stop your boobin" a few times and that was because I said that I wanted to go to the vet to be put down.

Now I just have to get through midterms this week and maybe I'll stop my complaining. And if only I can get over this vertigo I'm sure I'll live. Maybe.
