Graduation

Sorry it has been so long since my post.

Well graduation went well! Still doesn't feel like I'm outta high school. But it will get there soon I hope! We had our Senior picnic and oh my gosh it was so fun! We rented out browns pool and just got to swim (i unfortunately could not get my hair wet a day after dying it, didn't want it to turn green for graduation) But I went in the water and just hung out on the little floatie things. April, Ricky, DJ, and Vincent came in on Friday the day of our Senior picnic, and my uncle Jim got there later that evening. Then on the day of graduation my parents had a bbq for me, we had Bisquick, potato salad, home cooked beans and rolls. Oh so good!! Then it was time! I never had to go pee so much before, I was so nervous. I remember walking out and my teacher was like you ok? I said no, i have to pee and im so nervous! She was like well to late good luck, I didn't have a partner to walk with so it made it even more nerve racking. But I was walking really good, the week getting off crutches, so I decided to wear heals...I did good until after walking the stage...we will come to that later, but sitting there thinking about everything and how i was glad to be sitting in the chair fixing to receive my diploma, it was time to go and walk the stage. I then hear "GO MISSY!!" My dear friend Cathy was there cheering me on as I was walking across the stage! I kept reminding myself to flip my tassel to the other side of my cap! I didn't forget, but it got stuck and wouldn't move so it took a bit to get it working right. Well finally it was on the other side, and i walked through the isle of hugs, from teachers, councilors, and principals. I had my phone stashed away in a special place along with keys, girls you know where im talking about. I forgot to turn it off vibrate to silent. well when walking across the stage I get a text and it frightened me for a second, then right when I sat down i received another text...geez it felt so weird... I learned my lesson that time, next time I will make sure it is on silent. so yea...haha...back to the heals, ok so im walking alone again in our line thing and I tripped over air and almost came to the floor but I played it off good! I was a tad embarrassed but its all good. I rushed to get my diploma and went out to my car to head home before traffic hit... well mom and dad and ricky the kids and april and jim came out to my car and i was so happy to see the smiles on their face! I was so happy to see my diploma and just so glad I was able to close this chapter in my life. I went to project graduation and enjoyed myself there, I was in a race to do all these things with my team, I accidentally tackled some girl and yeah, we were both ok...anyways It was along enjoyable night but I was so tired when I went home, it was from 11pm-4am and wow so much fun I am so glad I went. They gave away over $8,000 in prizes and $17,000 in cash. I didn't get anything but I really didn't want anything, I was really happy to see the other people receive their prizes. That about wraps up graduation...

It's been awhile

Sorry I have neglected to post lately and keep yall guys updated on how the fire station stuff is going. Well I was voted in last Thursday its been a month since I have joined, I can't believe it, a month?? It's a lot of fun and everyone is so nice and so funny out there.

Well I have been training a lot, so far I have learned to roll a hose, carry a hose, turn the nozzle, fill the trucks with water, work the fire hydrant, hook up hoses to the trucks and hydrants and turning the water on...Tonight I trained in how to put the masks on, so when you go into a structure fire you can have fresh air, its not oxygen in the tanks because 100% oxygen can make u high and such its just regular air your breathing right now...but we geared up, got in the truck and took off to our "structure fire" which we just went to the back of the station where they store two trucks that dont work at the moment, but we pretended it was on fire and such and it was fun, then after that they trained me on how to put out a propane fire I got soaked but I am trained on how to do that now, and also last thing I learned tonight was to fill our tanks with air... oh yeah and how to correctly put the gear on and take it off and remove and apply the tanks back on the backpack dilly... but yes I enjoy it a lot. Before we left one of the guys told me "missy you did a really good job tonight..." Then one of the other guys said "People usually get claustrophobic and you either got it or ya dont, and girl you got it!" The only thing I did wrong when I had the mask on and the structure fire training was my breathing was a little to intense, I need to learn not to get so "excited" but I am most definitely glad I joined.

This is the mask and tank I was talking about...I had it all on tonight.

I look different...

Fire Department Races - April 4, 2009

This was the water polo race. I never done it before and so we didnt do well, and the pressure on the hose was increased so it was hard. But fun indeed!



This was the three lady race which we did well on! We placed 3rd.



This was the single lady race. I did good when I practiced here in Grape Creek my time was 45 seconds. But when I went to compete it was 15 seconds. I placed 3rd.



I really enjoy being a volunteer fire fighter. Its really fun, and I am picking up the training and everything quickly. Although I wont go on the calls n stuff for the first year its all good though.
