I will be 19 this year and I finished highschool last summer. Grad of 2005! I am accepted to Providence college in Manitoba and will be heading there this fall with my brother, David, who will have finished his first year there this spring. I am entering a program called Communications and Media but only plan to stay there a year. Next fall (2007) I plan to head out to either Winnipeg or Hamilton. Depends how things work out i suppose. I love photography and am learning a lot of new ideas and tricks about image editing and "capturing the image". I understand that photorgraphy runs in the Hall family veins so I am following in family footsteps i suppose. I always have a million projects on the go. Right now I am leading, with two other girls, a youth group for girls in our area in grades 6-8. We called it Fixed Eyes (ya, i stole that from Rachel) I also enjoy scrapbooking a lot. I think that goes with my graphic designing. One of my other projects is my 1983 Camaro Z28 which my dad is helping me fix up...or i am helping my dad. one or the other. I am having a lot of fun and can't wait until it is all done so i can drive it this summer. Other than my fun time-fillers, i also work full time for my dad at his shop, part time waitressing at the Circle D and I clean my church once a week. That's basically me in a paragraph (a long pararaph).

Learned another lesson this morning. It was a beautiful morning here and I was fulfilling my duties of parking the lawnmowers and atvs out front for display. The lessons I leaned first hand are as followed:
Lesson One: When the grass is wet, stay away from the edge of the BIG ditch.
Lesson Two: A zero turn mower cannot back out of a 5 foot ditch when the grass is all wet!
Lesson Three: Just ask dad for help

Yesturday's lessons learned:
Lesson One:
When attaching the water nozzle to the hose, either turn the water off or hold on to the nozzel very carefully.
Lesson Two:
If you do happen to have the water nozzle sqeezed tight, either bend on two knees and appologize profusely to the mechanic who just happened to be walking by ... or run!

We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day. Monday morning, Aaron and I along with two other friends packed up the truck and loaded two fourwheelers. We headed to the old mines past Atitkokan. I wasn't sure what to expect in giong there but I knew it must be pretty great by the way Aaron was so excited to go back there. When we got there we drove to the very top and unloaded our ATVs. We decided that we wanted to get to the very bottem where the water was. There was a beautiful, clear lake way down. We started heading along these old roads that were red from all the iron. We headed down many trails and saw beautiful scenery. It was amazing. I took lots of pictures. and posted a few of my favourites on my msn space. So check them out on there. and yes....we did find a huge, red mud puddle to splash through.

I copied this off of my sister's blog. The funeral was on Tuesday, August 1. It went well and what is strange is that the funeral was on the day that grandpa goodman passed away exactly ten years ago.

As well, Hazel attended and held various offices at the Calvary Baptist Church in Emo. She also was a member of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Gideons Bible Society.
Following retirement, she and Keith loved to travel through the U.S. and Canada with their little camper trailer. When Keith was no longer able to travel she lovingly cared for him until his death in 1996.
She also very generously gave of her time to assist Dave and Mary doing bookkeeping at Borderland Esso. Hazel will be missed very much by her family and all of her friends that knew her.

Guess what???? Some of you already know....but i'm sharing it on here anyways. I had the most exciting expirience in my life so far. :) Last Saturday I buckled myself into a stock car and raced against four other girls in the powder puff race. When I got there I had already aranged for myself to have a car but I had never sat in one before. I got there and watched the races and then headed down to talk to Anthony (the guy who was letting me use his car) He showed me how to drive and gave me some tips. The tip i followed the best was: "put your foot on the gas full when you are on the straight stretch and only let off on the corners as much as you have to" Me: "so you don't use the brake?" Him: "not really" alright, i can handle this right. Anyways. i got out there and just gave it. I started in last place and right away passed a few girls then I rear ended my friend who slowed down in front of me....she spun out. :) oops. I ran into the same friend another time when i was riding high on the track and she was lower down. We came into a corner and wacked sides. Anyways. I got second place. I know the girl who got first and it was her third time. so i did not too bad then. I spun out once in the middle of the race. Then, my grand finish: I was coming around the last corner on the last lap and I saw a car in front of me. I didnt know if she was ahead of me or if i was about to lap somebody but I just floored it anyways. When i was just through the corner i started to fish tale a bit and ended up going across the finish line sideways. It was so exciting and people thought i was going to hit Dave (the flag guy on the track) anyways. right on the finish line I finished my 180 and ended up backwards just off the inside of the track. and there i stalled. I started it up again and pulled off the track real quick so the winner could have her victory lap. anyways. It was sooo much fun. i want to do it again in a few weeks. but we'll see.

Last weekend I took Dave and Aaron to the Seventh Day Slumber concert. It was pretty great. I had a lot of fun. The best part though was that it was a surprise. Aaron had absolutely no idea until we had his bags packed in my van and I started driving the opposite direction he thought we should be going. :) It was pretty sneaky...and lots of work....but worth it i think

Children's perspective on Love
Just thought this was kinda funny... It came out of the "buy-sell insert Fort Frances Today!"
Children's perspective on Love
How do you decide whome to marry?
- You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming. --Alan, age 10
What is the correct age to get married?
- Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then. --Camille, age 10
- No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get married. --Freddie, age 6
How can you tell if two people are married?
- You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids. --Derrick, age 8

well...know what? I'm the type of person where once i put something off past its due time i just never do it. well often i do but way too late... Maybe i'm embarrassed to hand in that library book a few months late, or maybe i just lost intrest in what is going on, maybe i'm just crazy! ha! that must be it. :)
so, here it is....
since i last bloged.....
i have applied and been accepted / enrolled to the art institute of Pitsburg online.....then i dropped out..... i ordered my computer and went insane waiting for it.....and it came a day earlier than i expected (June 29)..... i planned a party for up at the cabin...then due to some miscomunications with my parents, i cancelled it.... i went to one of my friends cabins for the very first time and learned how to kayak.... i ended my young girls youth group, Fixed Eyes..... and then started up a Bible study using, "sex is not the problem (lust is)" by Joshua Harris with two of my friends... I planned a surprise birthday gift for my brother and Aaron (their birthdays are a day apart) .... actually, dave doesnt even know i have a surprise yet..i'll tell him tomorrow... I went strawberry picking at the lake for the first time this year... I got my camaro z28 on the road... then blew the alternator belt and ran the battery dead.... fixed it up and got it on the road again... told Northern Echo Bible Camp that i wouldnt be councelling this year... and then two weeks ago gave in and agreed... i was then assigned the duty of organizing chapel music for the week
so you can see it was a busy month full of many surprises and bumps in the road but altogether pretty great. hope you all enjoyed hearing about my exciting life again

what do i love about summer?
well i am always too warm so it's not the really hot, humid days. know what it is? well here's a few:
- When people just call me up and say i'm coming up to your cabin...i hate it when people feel like they have to be invited.
- the American tourists that flow through. I love working at a gas station so i can visit with them. some of them are so funny adn do you know what most of them are surprised to see in our store (they dont have it in the states) take a guess.
- getting up fourty five minutes earlier than winter months, having a shower in the outdoor shower at 6:30 and then boating across the lake at quarter after seven just so we can live up at the cabin!
- Sunny weekends
- freezies and popcicles
- canoeing across the lake to "the store"
- learning how to "talk" like our American neighbours from Oklahoma
- Barbeques
- running around in the grass and having water fights
- swimming
- chillin with friends
