Halfway through Fall of 2009

So we just had fall break here and it was amazing. I think it was too short though. I felt like I had just gotten home and I had to leave again. I got a lot of errands done, and laundry. It was a good thing too because I was starting to run out of clothes. I did get to change my wardrobe though! I now have clothes and jackets for the winter, but it has been in the 60's and 70's this week. Weird considering we have had a couple of weeks of freezing temps and continuous rain. I was able to watch Paige play volleyball and Chris play football, but due to the rain the band didn't perform. I never got to see Paige march. I went four-wheeling with the guys. That was interesting and scared the crap out of me. I don't even think we did anything that hard either. At least that is according to my dad. So, according to me we DID do stuff that was difficult. I mean driving the thing is hard in itself. My hand and arms were sore for two days afterwards from gripping the clutch and holding the gas. At one point we were going up a trail that turned into a V due to water drainage. I managed to be only on the two-diagonal wheels of the four-wheeler. Then next thing I know I was on my back looking up at an almost vertical four wheeler right above my head. I almost died. if that four wheeler did land on me I had a little 8th grader who, no offense to him, has not quite gone through any sort of puberty yet and would not have been able to lift that thing off of me. I will admit that I was ready to be done after that but unfortunately we had to ride all the way back to the trucks first. It was great though. I did manage to see a really cool wound. I was probably the only one who thought it was cool. Luckily I am trained in First Aid and CPR, but they still trusted my dad more than me to tape it. Whatever. One guy was trying to go up a steep hill (one that I didn't even think it was a path) and hit a ravine and went backwards. The four wheeler came and landed on his leg. All of the guys were checking out the stupid four wheeler, because the wheel came off. I, however, checked out his leg. You could see the muscle and fat sticking out, and then you could see all the way down to his bone. It wasn't even bleeding that much Pretty cool.
