My father and i have a very strange relationship. when i was little i always wanted to be daddy's little girl so i wouldnt wear dresses or play with dolls because that's not want daddy's girls do. i would rather wear jeans and a tee-shirt and play in the mud. my favorit thing to do when i was little was go to the co op with my dad and older brother; it is here were i would see my father lift a feed sack with one are like it was full of feathers. i still remember riding on the tractor with him when he was working on the field behind our farm. i learned so much from this man
My brother is six years older then i, so he always spent more time with dad and i always got left behind because i was a girl and they were to do man work! there was never a time then i felt that i was not loved by my father, he just had a differnt was of showing it, then i would have liked.
when my father was little he was taught kids are to be seen but not heard. they are not to be hugged or shown any remorse of they will grow up to be soft, and this is not a world for a soft person. so, because of his beliefs my father does not hug, kiss, of tell us he loves us he feekld we shoukd know that because of what he has done for us.
I am the complete opposite i tell everyone that i am clase to, that i love them. i personaly believe they should know that everyday, in the horrible chance that i may never be able to tell them again! i hug everyone good bye and always tell them to have a good day.
i guess you could say my father's lack of emotion made me want to show it even more. My father is a great man and there is not many out there like him, and i know he loves me very much. i would have loved a hug every once in a while. so, for that, i belive in showing love and emotion to everyone close before it's too late.

Black Friday
Black friday is such a waste of time i think they sit there and make you get up at 3 in the moring to make sure you are one of the first ones there. they say they have great deals but then the week after BLACK FRIDAY the prices are just as low if not lower. Black Friday is the friday close to the day of thanksgiving in the United States, which is the beginning of the traditional chrismas shopping season. The term dates back to at least 1966, although its usage was primarily on the East coast. The term has become more common in other parts of the country since 2000. Because Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday in November in the United States, Black Friday occurs between the 23rd and the 29th of November.
Black Friday is not an official holiday, but many employees have the day off, which increases the number of potential shoppers. Many retailers open extremely early, with most of the retailers typically opening at 5AM or even earlier. Some of the larger retailers such as Sears, Best Buy, Macy's, Toys "R" Us, and Walmart have been reported to open as early as midnight on the start of Black Friday in localized areas and remain open for 24 hours throughout the day until midnight the following Saturday. Upon opening, retailers offer doorbuster deals and loss leaders to draw people to their stores. In the late 19th century and early 20th century, many Santa parades or Thanksgiving Day parades were sponsored by department stores. Department stores would use the parades to launch a big advertising push. Eventually it just became an unwritten rule that no store would try doing Christmas advertising before the parade was over. Therefore, the day after Thanksgiving became the day when the shopping season officially started.
Later on, the fact that this marked the official start of the shopping season led to controversy. In 1939, retail shops would have liked to have a longer shopping season, but no store wanted to break with tradition and be the one to start advertising before Thanksgiving. President Franklin D. Roosevelt moved the date for Thanksgiving one week earlier, leading to much anger by the public who wound up having to change holiday plans. Some even refused the change, resulting in the U.S. citizens celebrating Thanksgiving on two separate days.Some started referring to the change as Franksgiving.

Also how edward was so shy and you always wondered if he is good or bad! and i mean poor bella so is caught in the middle of loving edward and knowing he could kill her at any point in time. know a little about the stars
Edward-London-born Robert Pattinson found his acting niche almost instantly, kicking off his career with a string of fantasy roles. After catching the acting bug through amateur theater, the young thespian made his first film appearance at the age of 18, appearing in 2004's Dark Kindom , based on a Nordic legend. He followed this up by joining the Harry Potter franchise the following year, playing Cedric Diggory in Goblet of Fire, as well as the subsequent movies. Having captured the hearts of many young fantasy fans, Pattison then signed on to play the dreamy vampire heartthrob Edward in the film adaptation of the young-adult novel Twilight
Bella-Following a supporting performance as the daughter of a couple who unknowingly move into a seemingly haunted house in the 2003 chiller Cold Creek Manor, Stewart took top billing in the emotionally charged drama Speak in 2004. Cast as a traumatized high school freshman whose status as a selective mute draws the concern of friends and family, Stewart's handling of the remarkably intimate material drew praise from critics and Sundance audiences. A subsequent role in Catch That Kid (a remake of the Danish blockbuster Klatretosen) found Stewart in super-spy mode as a scheming twelve-year-old who recruits a pair of friends to rob a high tech bank in hopes of paying for a life saving operation for her dying father.
jacob-Michigan native Taylor Lautner had a knack for martial arts from the time he was a young child, winning karate tournaments in the Grand Rapids area while he was still in grade school. By eight, he'd developed enough skill to attract the attention of champion who became Lautner's coach. The young athlete eventually won three gold medals in the World Karate Association, but he soon found his interests expanding. Connections in the karate world led to an audition for a role in a TV commercial in Los Angeles, and even though Lautner didn't get the part, he enjoyed the process so much that his family soon began flying him out to the coast regularly for auditions, eventually relocating to L.A. completely. In California, Lautner continued to do well at martial arts competitions, but additionally found success in acting, appearing on shows like my wife and kids.

my dog sadie
My dog Sadie is a mixed mutt, she is border Callie, Australian Shepperd. We got her free from a girl my mom works with, she was so little and cute. Sadie was not the first puppy we brought home though there was a little male puppy we got first. He was all white but we found out soon he couldn't hear so he would not make it as a farm dog! so we had to take him back which was very hard cuz we were already attached to jack. it all turned out good int he end cuz Sadie is such a great dog, she gives lots of kisses and is very protective of my brother and i.
Sadie has some bad habits though, she loves shoes and there laces. she will chew right down the middle of them so there is no way you can some how fix them. Then she will also chew the back of your shoes clean off so you can keep them on. We also have 2 kittens in are shop and she is there mom per say, she cleans them and make sure they don't get in to trouble. Charlie the one kitten is her favorite she will lick him from head to toe till he is dripping wet. she doesn't mean to hurt him she just loves him!
Sadie is the smartest dog i have ever seen, she is the type of dig that when you talk to her she turns her head to the side like to say what you talking about. She loves to chace mice at the farm and she is a great watch dog. When people come to the farm and hear her bark be for the see her they think we have a great Dane of something, but then little knee high Sadie comes running out it gets them every time. She loves to go for car rides also, she has to sit on the front seat with the window down so she can stick her head out. You cant go to fast thou cuz then she starts to sneeze and blow snot ever where. i would not trade her for the world.

baby shower
So my family and i went to Milwaukee for my cousin in law's baby shower. We left Sparta at 9 in the morning Saturday and was off for the 3 hour drive! My sister in law was driving so the time went by fast. I had to bring my blanket and pillow with so i could get some ZZZ on the way down there. when we got to lake mills it started to snow not much but just enough to say why is it snowing in October?? other then that the weather was good just cold. so we got to my aunt and uncles at about 11:45 and we didn't need to be at the shower till 12:45 so we unpacked all are things sat and talk at little bit and then it was off to the shower. it was so nice seeing everyone again, it had been a little over a year in a half since we say everyone, so there was a lot of talking and hugs going around.
There was a lot of great food and drink there before the shower, but after all the 50 people showed up they went pretty quit! Yes i did was 50 people to a baby shower i know its crazy right, but Katie(the baby momma lol) has a huge family and there was some of her friends from work there also. so finally the show is on the road she got allot of cool gifts for her baby boy! Her colors for the babies room was blue and brown so she got allot of the gift to match those colors. This baby is going to be a walking chick magnet with his cute little clothes and brewers hat and packers jerseys! i wish i was this decked out when i was a baby!
After the shower my sister in law and i went to visit my cousin's new apartment on the south side of Milwaukee. It is an amazing 1 bedroom flat with a huge living room and dinning room. There are 3 college age girls that live above her that get a little load sometimes but other then that the place is amazing. She also had off street parking and a rap around porch that is amazing to sit out on and take in the cool air.
There is a great little pizza place called zaffero's. there pizza's only come in two sizes BIG and HUGE, but are they good. they also have salad's as big as you head there and they dressing is sweet but tanie at the same time. When we got to this place there were 10 of us trying to get a table, we got there at 8:30 and didn't sit down to eat till 10:30 i was so hungry i could eat a horse! All in all when it was all done is was a great weekend with my family.
