Spent a weekend at camp... Left Wednesday night, watched some movies, stayed the night in Barb's room... Got up to do early morning feed and started my lead wrangler training, lead three rides with Megan and Jo... Did some chores, picked up Kim from the ferry with Megan. Had wrangler training... We had the chat about good attitudes and work ethic etc... Megan, Shanny and I watch Just Married and ate chocolate to celebrate my one year anniversary of being staff at the ranch. Woke up at eight the next day, had breakfast and then we went down to the barn to feed and such... It was POURING with rain, but we decided to clean the petting zoo in spite of it. We dug out a foot of muck from the hutch, and attempted to scrape out the muck from the other parts, but we didn't really have enough time (we by the way is Barb, Shannon, Mike and me) So we just smoothed everything out and covered it with a nice layer of sawdust. Shanny and I had a riding lesson, that was fun... Then we all went over to Andrew's house to watch some movies. When we got there Andrew's mum was cutting Carl's hair, and the funniest thing happened!!! When you get your hair cut, it's usually wet, so Andrew's mum gave Carl a towel and told him to wet his hair... Carl took the towel into the washroom, put it under the sink and soaked it then put it on his head!!! HILARIOUS!!!! But NEwho... We watch Walking Tall and Man on Fire. Man on Fire was kind of disturbing... Got back to the ranch at like one in the morning... TIRING! Next morning we fed at 8:30 and started to do chores before everyone arrived for family camp. When they did we had lunch and staff meeting, and then the families started coming. The wranglers went down to the barn to clean and stuff... I lead another ride and we had a loads of fun. During campfire we had a homework party... fun fun fun! LOL! NOT!!! I worked on my drawing and attempted to do my english, but failed miserably... Came to the conclusion to never ever let Andrew take my picture. OH! And Claire came, I was so excited to see her... I haven't since summer ended. Anyways, went to sleep... Woke up, had a day in the barn, and found out at lunch that Claire and Mike are an "item"... I was a little weirded out, and I'm still finding it hard to believe. Spent the afternoon of Sunday up in the trails hauling gravel with Deanna, Kirstin and Kathryn. Hard work, especially since I wasn't in the best of moods, sort of in shock I suppose. D and Kirstin were talking alot about weddings and getting married since D just got married in the spring and Kirstin is getting married pretty soon... But yeah... hmmm... That night was a little odd. When I have alot to digest in my mind I kind of become anti social! LOL! I retreated to my room to think and fell asleep, not the greatest plan... But it happened... When I woke up I ventured downstairs and we watched some surfing thingy, it was about how waves are made etc... Then Barb, Andrew, Carl and I hung out and talked for a bit. We went down to the barn to water horses... Got up for feeding the next morning, everything went pretty smoothly, although I was kind of leary of being alone with Mike or Claire. I don't know why I feel so weird about it, I really shouldn't be stressing... Found out the Carl and Michelle are going out, that was a suprise because last I heard Carl was really into someone else... The rest of the day went by pretty quickly... Got a ride home with Derek.
Why does it seem like every person around me is in a relationship? Even the people I least expected to be in one, are... It's just so strange... One of the things that I struggle with ALOT is growing up, and when people around me are getting married and going out it forces me to face the facts... And at this point in time I have no desire what so ever to even get married. I was reading in 1 Corinthians last night about marriage, and how it really isn't necessary, you can if you want but it's better not to because then it frees your mind to focus on God instead of trying to please your significant other... And it just makes me think, are these people making the right desicion? Most of these relationships aren't going to last, so why put yourself through the heart ache? I just can't wrap my mind around it, and it's been on my mind alot... It's a real distraction that I can't seem to get rid of...
