Gone Fishin.... and other adventures at LBL

We went camping while we were down at Murray. We went to Land Between the Lakes (LBL). I had a lot of fun. We went to this really good restraunt called Catfish Kitchen. We made reservations just in case and when we got there food was already on the table. There were hushpuppies, white beans, and coleslaw. The waitress got our drinks and what we ordered out in such little time. The were super fast and had really good fresh fish. When we got done we took old hushpuppies out to the back and fed the fish. That was really cool. Not only was the food good but the building was interesting.

The old man sitting there... he scared me when we walked in I thought he was real.


Interesting antiques on the ceiling. There were also alot of different mounts.






The turtle that came while we were feeding the fish.





We also went to an elk and bison prairie. We drove around and seen all the bison and elk one time through but we wanted to go around again so the second time round was even more fun. This was really inexpensive and it was cool seeing all the bison up close and seeing a elk bull.
A large herd of bison eating the first time we went around... the second time they were crossing the road and standing right in the middle just taking their time.

Bison mommas and babies... these ones already crossed the road


An elk bull. This is the main reason we went around again. The first time we went through we saw several cows and young bulls, seeing this one with big antlers was really cool and exciting.

School is Getting Closer

On Tuesday the 14th I went and got all of my classes scheduled. School is getting closer and I am excited. I am ready to start in the Fall. I get to move in on August the 10th. I get to go through sorority recruitment... I hope I meet lots of friends I will keep for a long time. On the 14th of August I find out if I get to join a sorority. The 13th - 15th is Great Beginnings for the Freshman where I get to meet new people and get familiar with the campus. With each passing day school is beginning to get closer. I am super excited to be leaving for college, but there are always the nerves until I finally get settled in and familiar with everything. This is going to be such a great experience, I can't wait!!

Graduation!!!!! Finally

Saturday, June 4th was my graduation. It was very hot outside but well worth the wait (and suffering of the heat). I am super excited to be graduated, and I am definately ready to start a new chapter in my life. Thank you to everyone at North that I had as a Teacher/ FFA Advisor, and most definately to all of my friends and family who kept faith and helped me through all the difficult times and shared all of the great times. I am truly going to miss all of my friends that I have made in the past 4 years.
