MS 150 is done

Well, last weekend was the MS 150. This ride is meant to help raise money for Multiple Sclerosis. My family have many cousins and friends who have this unfortunate disease and it just is painful to watch them live through it. When my parents first started this 150 mile bike tour it was kind of a joke in our family because my mom is such a wimp, but now its something that i want to do when i am out of high school. I have first hand seen the effects it has on a family and on a persons lifestyle, and I would never wish for someone to have to go through the pain that my mom's friend has gone through. Team Donaldson:178 riders
The bike area
Mom and Dad, Dad was just a little grumpy as you can tell by his face
Then mom and dad again in Duluth.
This ride, just this year has raised 2.7 million dollars to help find a cure, and just the Donaldson team raised $92 thousand. As always i wish everyone the best of luck next year.
In my life things have been very mellow. I now have practice at 6:00 AM and then go home (biking home) and sleep until my mom yells at me to wake up. Typical teenager attitude there! Aaron is now having recruiters out looking at his performances on the bike! So that is something that we all are proud of!

Wow, the end has came!

Wow how the time has passed. Now when me and a few friends were looking through the yearbook at a few people, all we could say is how much they all have changed, looks and attitude wise. When I look at my past of course there is things I would like to change from this year but all of them have made my life worth while and just that much more interesting! That is what I wish everyone would see in themselves. So many people have betrayed trust, friends, and even themselves that it just caused them to think differently.Below is how much I changed physically. First day of school picture.
Very last day of school! Braces be gone!
Well today is the first of three days of biking for my parents! MS 150 bike tour is starting. they bike from Duluth all the way to White Bear Lake. about 75 miles each day. Even though this is their last year, mom is going out with a bang. She broke her wrist last week and they made a little divit for the handle bar! I talked to chad today and he wishes them all luck! Speaking of Chad, he is now moving somewhere out in Oregon or Washington! He is not sure where but they said they can figure that out after they get the envelopes that say he got in to med school!
On Sunday is the Afton Avalanche and I think all MN bikers are hoping all this rainy, haily, stormy weather will leave by then! I know for sure Aaron is hoping that.

Senior Prank Does Not Quit Making Comotion

Wow, if anyone told me that Freshman year would go by fast I would never have believed them. But look at it now, the year is gone and now no one can re-invent their reputation, unfortunetly. Well as in the headline, the seniors pulled a prank, as always. This time a senior (name not mentioned for my safty and his) went a let loose a chicken DURING passing time. No update on the chicken. Then between 6th hour and 7th, there was rumored to be a huge fight, which did not happen but made every one late to class. This brought even the avtivities director out of her office. Mr. Volm, my study hall teacher, went to school in a kilt, then at lunch played the bag pipes, which brought us all laughing.
Tomorrow is finals and as always no one will study! Our teachers have been telling us to study for the past 3 weeks and as most do, no one listened so hopefully we wont be repeating the 9th grade! Even a few teachers other than Mr. VOlm had fun with the seniors last day. The seniors have this thing with blow horns and so a couple of the new teachers went a bought like, 5 of them. When the final bell rang, the seniors unleashed their horns as did the teachers. You could not hear anything, even outside.
This morning was.... wierd. Me and Aaron pulled into the parking lot and there was smoke coming from the pick up row. Turned out, one of our friends decided to burn his tired to the rims. Teh smoke would not stop and every one was getting so mad at him! I started laughing when I found out who it was.
Last 2 days are half days so I'm getting some- note:some, rest.
