It was love at first croak....

Just last night, I went running with my friend Josh. The park was flooded, so we zig-zagged up and down the hill all around the perimeter of the lake. We got tired about half-way around, so we continued at a walk. That's when we heard it. It sounded like a dying duck! We found that imitating made it croak again. So, desperate to come to this poor duck's rescue, we all kept croaking until josh and I finally located it right by the water's edge. However, we couldn't see anything in the dark. I took a step closer, and suddenly, a toad hopped into the lake a foot away from my face! I screamed and hit my head as i fell to the ground laughing. We followed the frog and I miraculously caught it with my semi-disabled hand! We took it back to the car (making sure to keep him wet) and went to Josh's house in hopes of finding an aquarium. =) In the meanwhile, Josh cut open an empty water jug with a sword and we stuck him in there. He put up a really good fight, but he eventually calmed down enough to where I could pick him up and he'd sit quietly in my hand! Well, the aquarium plan fell through, so I took a picture:

and Josh took him home. He must have liked us very much, because Josh said it took at least five minutes of just sitting at the edge of the water until he finally jumped into the water! =) We decided to name him Jeremiah Trevor Terasuki! We will miss him!

At last!!

I know I'm probably boring you guys, talking about my finger all the time, but I have GOOD NEWS!!! The cast is coming off in 4 DAYS!!!!! After 3 weeks of having this club attached to my hand, I'm finally going to be FREE!!!!! No more: typing with my 4th finger on my lefty, sores and blisters on my righty from trying to do everything one-handed, shampooing my hair with one hand, looking like i'm about to shoot someone (Haha!!), playing the same song on the piano over and over and over and over......... And I get to: play more songs!!!!, ride Brego, wiggle my fingers, scratch my hand, put on a puppet show (no fat characters! =P), do handstands and cartwheels, stunt in cheer, catch...things, and, of course, do more backhandsprings!!!!!! Woohoo!!! No, I am not afraid of them. I'm only more eager to get better at them! (which will take practice, and hopefully no more broken bones! Haha!!)

Happy 4th!!!

Hey everybody! Happy Independence day! I changed my layout to fit the occasion (just in case you didn't notice! Haha!!

I'm am truely happy to be living in this free country. What a wonderful land it is, too! I hope we never lose our patriotism.

Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light, what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, while the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say does that star spangled banner yet wave o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

It's official! I'm a Mesa High Cheerleader!! We got our uniforms on Monday, there's not much to say, the pictures speak for themselves!! haha!!
