Well, "vacay" is half over. I spent the 4th with the parents. Yesterday, I drove up to the Sault with Ivy and Steph. It turned out to be an awesome trip. We stopped off in St. Ignace, and drove through town. We drove past where Michelle works, and I wanted to stop in, but I felt dumb going in and seeing her at work, so we kept going. By the time we got to the gas station, I had a new voicemail, So It ended up being her. She was like, "I just saw this girl drive by, and she looked exactly like you, but she was driving a truck." I called her back and we drove back down and saw her. She works for one of the Ferries for Mac. Island, So she gave us free tickets and we went over to the Island. It was the first time in like 15 years for Ivy and I. We just walked around and looked in the shops. We were too poor to go into any of the attractions. Maybe next year.

Anyway, when we got up to the Sault, I bought paint and stopped into the LandLord's house. We primed my room and then went out to the Lock's park for a picnic supper. We went to the pier downtown and then stopped in and said hello to Denise. It was nice to see her. After all of that, I put the 1st coat of paint on. It's a light lime green. I love it. It looks awesome. We didn't finish with that till about 11, so while it was drying, we went to the Locks again, and watched a boat go through. It was alot of good sisterly bonding time.

I spent the night for the first time in my house. I didn't get the 2nd coat on, but there's always another weekend for that. We had to rush home this morning so Ivy could get to work by 2 today. I came home and worked on getting the old paint (all 3 coats of it) off of my bed. It's ready to be painted when I get back from Oscoda... and bailing hay. Rrrr.

Tommorrow H&S, and I go up to Oscoda with the boys. I think they are going out on the trails on friday... Caleb is going to Alpena to ride tractors... and us ladies are going to lay on the beach Alll Day Long. Yes! I can't wait. I haven't been camping is so long. Well, not since the "cousin canoe trip" last year. At least this year I can take a shower. (Thumbs up for electricity while camping). Ivy and Shawn are meeting us on Saturday, and who knows if the other cousins will show up. We aren't the "fun" side of the family for them I think.

Anyway, besides all the bad feelings that being in the sault brought up, life is good. I can't get my mind off of what happened at the end of semester. I should have stood up for myself, and I keep thinking I should, but it's too late now. I wish people didn't hate me for something I wrote when I was angry... Or for doing with I thought was the right thing to do.
