*whispering* ok...this is a secret post...I'm just seeing if anyone will notice since Grace took me off of her links... =) I don't know why, I'm just board...it's Easter and I'm just sitting here smelling that delicious ham baking...and pretty much drooling all over myself and the key board thinking about it. so yeah...just waiting so I thought I would do something on my lap top since I have wireless now!! Ha...oops...I'm supposed to be whispering...=S ok I'm out! Don't get your hopes up if you see this, I'm not coming back to blog world...besides stopping in to comment once in a while. See ya...

Dah dah daaaaah!!

Alright folks...it's the moment you've all been waiting for! Paul Alexander is going to BLOG! WOO! *the croud goes wild!* yes...thankyou....thankyou...you're too kind....stop really...you're making me blush....go on....yes thankyou...thankyou so much....you like me! You really like me!

Ok...So I'm a little early for class and I decided to take this time to do a little blogging! =) Ok what's new......?? Well I went to the skatepark again since the last time I wrote. Yeah...we took the trucks off the board that I broke and put it on one of my buddie's extra boards. Then we grabbed the camera and took off for the skatepark! So yeah, we filmed ourselves makeing fools of ourselves...isn't that great!? I don't know anyone who wouldn't want to see that!? =D But no it was fun, we tried the same tricks over and over trying to get one to go right in front of the camera. It seems to get harder to skate when you're in front of a camera! I don't know why, maybe it's because the camer adds ten pounds! Ha! and yes I hurt myself a few times...but I'll talk more about that later, people are coming into class now around me so I'm going to go. =P Untill next time!

Pauly

You happy now!?

2006-10-06T17:33:00.000-07:00

Ok...there, now I've updated my picture. Are you guys happy!? You should be. ;) So what do you think?

I would post more but I'm about to head out to the homecoming football game for the highschool. It's going to be fun! So you guys will just have to wait a little more. ;)

Pauly

well hello!

2006-10-06T10:58:00.000-07:00

Ok here's the deal people....the reason I haven't been on here in a while, and haven't changed my picture or posted for that matter in so long, it's because my computer died on me at home! SO the only time I can get online is at school, and I don't always have time to get on here...so that's what's going on. So try to have some patience with me, and I'll try and post when I can k?

ok....gotta go! I'm in class right now. =P See ya!

Pauly

Am I done yet?

2006-09-18T10:47:00.000-07:00

Ok well I can't remember if I said that I was way behind in my school work...but I was....because of coming to school late. But! The good news is, is that I took the weekend and just hit the books man! And...I'm proud to say have almost gotten myself completely caught up! There are just a couple of minor things that I have to do, such as, read a chapter, and write a paragraph on some guy named Nicola Tesla...or something like that! But I'm excited! I'm proud of myself. =)

Anyways besides that...I think I'm going to go to the Lutheran church tonight...Don't worry! I'm not leaving The Church of God! =P That's where they have practice for the choir, which I'm going to join I think, it's good for one credit...plus I get to sing! And last year my music teacher said I have a lovely voice and that I should join...so I'm gonna do it. ;)

Ok...see ya!

Pauly

Back on the board! For one day anyways...

2006-09-15T13:07:00.000-07:00

Over the summer...it seemed that I had lost my passion for skateboarding, it was mostly due to me busting my nice deck by taking some stairs, and then my trucks and wheels being stolen. Then I had bought a new deck, and used some really old trucks and wheels, and that board wasn't nearly as nice as my other. So therefore I was kind of bummed, and I didn't skate much. Then over the summer I traveled so much that I never skated at all! So it's been about 3 months since I even stepped on my skateboard. But....my friend Kaleb called, and wanted me to come to the skate park, so I said ok. I had to go get my board from Caleb and Mandie's house though. But I was feeling pretty excited really! I hadn't skated in a while and I was excited to try and get back to it. Ha ha, it was funny cause when I showed up at their house to get my board, Mandie says "so, do you have any protective gear?" "no" " don't you think you need it?" "ha...no I'm fine" "well...I still have your big band-aids if you need em!" "ha ha, ok I might be back later" =P It was funny.

But yeah...so I get my board, then I drive over and pick up Kaleb from his house, and we headed up to the park. By the way...Kaleb has a sweet new skateboard called a free board, and it's just like snowboarding on pavement, it's awesome! But that's another story. =P So yeah we get up there, and I'm actually surprised at how well I do! It's like I haven't gotten any worse over the three months that I didn't skate. So I'm getting excited and having a lot of fun! We even got some cool pictures and video. And here I am taking this kicker ramp on to a platform, when *SNAP* I broke my board again.... "ARGH!" Ha ha! I couldn't belive it. I still can't believe I broke another one. =P So...now I'm stuck...cause I was really excited about skating again, and it has to go and break on me! Now what do I do? Do I save up my money (since I can't afford to buy one now) and pay a pretty penny for a new board? Or do I "grow up" like some people have mentioned *clearing throat* ;) and just forget the whole skateboarding thing?? I don't know. Cause I don't know if I want to pay over a hundred dollars AGAIN...but on the other hand, I really enjoy skateboarding! *sigh* Dilema...Maybe I'll just start a "Paul needs a new board fund" you can all send your free-will donation of just 5 dollars to a good cause! ha ha! No I'm kidding! I would never do that. =P Do you think I'm a beggar!? Maybe I'll just find a nice street corner to go play my guitar and sing, throw my case open and hope that people will throw in some change! Ha....no I don't know what to do yet. We'll see I guess.

Anyways that's all I've got for now. See ya!

Pauly

Alright...alright...

2006-09-13T16:32:00.000-07:00

Well I don't know if anyone even reads this blog anymore...and really I think I've kind of lost the passion for the whole blogging thing. It's just been too long. But...it seems that I have some requests to write again. So this is for you, my adoring fan, and girlfriend. ;)

Ok let's see, where do I start! Hmm....

Well I guess I'll just start with the Assembly trip! Well I have to say in the midst of the confusion, and trying to figure out God's will, I thought the Assembly was amazing. I felt God moving in me so strong, and drawing me closer to Him. And with all the fasting and praying before and during the Assembly, I just feel closer to God than ever before! It's amazing. God is so good. And now I'm ready to get things rolling here in Havre, where as most of you know there is no church yet. But after this Assembly I just feel so energized, and filled with the zeal for God's church I'm just ready to get on the ball!

So yeah the Assembly was great. Not only did God move in a mighty way, but I also really enjoyed spending time with my friends and family. And it was really nice to spend time with Grace all week. *sigh* I'll tell you now...I miss her terribly. It's gotten so hard to have to say goodbye over and over again. But we did get to see the Shulers again after the Assembly! We went right through Arizona on the way home. It was so great! We stayed at a really nice hotel thanks to priceline (I should get payed for advertising ;)) so we all went there and hung out in our room, and Grace the kids and I all ran around exploring the hotel. It was fun, we got kicked out of the gym by security though. =P Ha ha! It was fun. And we hung around the game room for a little while. Then we went and got tacos from taco bell! I made Grace eat two. =P He hee. Oh and we got ice cream too! Man...it was so fun just to hang around with Grace and her family. With nothing else to take up our time, we just had fun! It was great.

Yeah...so now after all the driving for the past two weeks we are finally home! And it is good to be home, even though I still wish I was some where else. (hmm I wonder where?) ;) So now I've just been working on getting things all straitened out with school since I'm nearly 2 weeks late due to going to the Assembly instead of my first week of school. =P But it was worth it. So yeah...so far all of my teachers have been pretty understanding, and they are willing to work with me to help me get all caught up and everything. The only class I'm a little worried about is my electrical class, I have missed SO much! I mean they are already moving on to chapter 6!! I have so much catching up to do. But the teacher is being really nice about it. He's going to just let me hand it in as I do it you know? He doesn't expect me to turn it all in by next week or anything. So that's good.

Have I mentioned that I miss Grace? *sigh* Ok yes I'm pathetic! I don't care. I miss you Gracie! I really miss you. Life is just so much brighter and better when she's by my side, I mean I'm not saying I'm depressed and miserable when I'm away from her. But I know I love life more when we're together. =)

Anyways...I think that's all I've got for ya right now...I might write more later on this week. We'll see. ;)

Paul

What time is it!?

2006-08-20T18:28:00.000-07:00

Ever have that feeling where time seems to stand still? But not in your favor? Yes...yes me too. As a matter of fact, it seems that I looked at the clock two hours ago and it was 6:00...and it is now only 6:25. WHAT!?!?

There is a fact of life...an old saying that goes "time flies when having fun..." do you know how much I despise that simple truth!? *ugh* Can I make a motion? I make the motion that we switch that and say "time flies when you're bored and waiting" huh? Any takers on that one? I think I see your hands coming up already over the internet! Here's the thing...I am SO anxious for the Assembly to come, and honestly...to see Gracie. But...here I sit...in my Grandparents house, stuck...doing nothing but watch old tv show reruns while time and my sanity slowly ticks away. Don't get me wrong! I enjoy being with my family and visiting...ha...but you can only sit and watch tv for so long. You know what I mean? So it seems that time...is at a stand still, when I want it to fastforward and STOP...right where I want it to. And I know when I get to the Assembly, it's going to go by so quickly....and then I'll be back home...to wait another 3 to 4 months before I get to see Gracie again. Oh man....I wouldn't be surprised if I end up in a padded white room with a nice white jacket to match.

But hey! Other than my time and waiting delema's....I'm doing pretty good! I've felt the Lord moving in my life, and drawing me closer to Him. Ha ha, as long as He keeps helping me by giving me a little more patience when I need it...well I think the whole white room thing can be avoided. =P Anyways....I smell dinner...and I am starved! Later!

Pauly

here...but not

2006-08-13T14:04:00.000-07:00

Well...I don't have a whole lot to tell you, but here goes!

Oh man...I was so wore out! Saturday, I went with my mom, Aunt Teresa, Grandma, and all the kids all over the town shopping. We went to Target, Famous Footwear, I think we went to a couple of other stores too, but I can't remember! =P Then after all of those we went to the mall. We were out for over 5 hours! Oh my word...I was tired. Oh I remember another place we went was Ross. That's one of my favorite stores! I love Ross. There were so many cool t-shirts, and hoodies and stuff in there...but I couldn't afford to by anything I didn't need. But sure wanted them. =P I think the whole day I just got a white shirt for the VLB march! And....I got some shoes. I know...I have a lot of shoes, but when I get home I plan on getting rid of like four pairs. So it's all good. =) But yeah, it was a long day!

Ha ha! I was on the phone with Gracie on Saturday night....and I was using my Grandma's home phone because she has free long distance. So here we are in the middle of talking, my Grandma get's on the other line! ha ha, and she starts dialing, while talking to my aunt Teresa, and I can't remember what they were saying...but I kept saying "Grandma....Grandma?" In the mean time Grace is just cracking up! Ha! And I was laughing, then finally she answers me..."Grandma?" "Yes?" "I'm on the phone" "Why do you have your mom's phone!?" "I don't" "well that's the number I dialed!" "ha ha, Grandma I'm on the home phone!" "oh, why didn't you use aunt Sweeties phone!?" "I don't know.." Then she hung up! Ha ha! It was comical.=P

Alright, well I've been racking my brain and I can't really think of anything else to say. So I'm out! Until next time!

Fried PB&J!

2006-08-02T19:08:00.000-07:00

I'm in Port Angeles Washington right now...visiting my family here. It's been fun. Except that my cousing Terra and my Aunt Teresa have had to work all week...so I have to sit at home for a majority of the day with just my younger cousins...and we..well just watch TV mostly. =P Not too exciting. But I enjoy seeing my family! And my mom is here now too, so I'm not completely alone all day.

Yesterday we went to hurricane ridge! That was fun. It's really pretty up there...the scenery is amazing, mountains, trees, rivers, plus you can see the ocean really well from up there. It was great. When we got up there we went into the snack place and ordered to large frys...and oh my word...they were HUGE! Ha! We weren't expecting it. =P But we got an extra cup, made us a TON of fry sauce and we managed to eat them all! It wasn't that hard really, I love frys! I could have eaten more. =P Oh, and along with our frys we tried a fried peanutbutter and jelly sandwich with ice cream! Ha ha! Sounds weird huh? Well that's why we tried it. =P It wasn't bad really. lol!

After we were done eating we went outside, and went walking on a trail. I started reading all the information signs like a tour guide, and was ad-libing through the whole thing like I was taking the kids and Terra on a tour. It was funny. =P I got them to laugh, and we had a good time, so it was all good. Good times.

Anyways, that's about all I've got for ya for right now. Later!

2006-07-23T11:52:00.000-07:00

Yep here I am! I'm back from camp and scorching Az. unfortunately....no, it is good to see my family again. But I really miss all the ones that I saw at camp, and I really miss the Shulers!! Especially my Gracie. Yes I've already started going through withdrawls without her. *sigh* But I'll see her in one month so it's ok, I can make it!

Ok...so about camp! Well as many of you know that were there with me, I didn't do a whole lot of pranks like I did at my camp. But that dosent mean that I wasn't out and about at night. ;) We had some fun around there after hours. =P I had a lot of fun, we played some really fun games with everyone! Like the penguine soccer, and the water dogeball, those were a blast. Then of course we had our flag football games with all the guys. Ha ha, we played tug-0-war and my side won, so then they sent me to the other side, and then that side won...so then I had to sit out! Ha ha! I guess I was just to strong to play that game, I was just an unfair advantage to the team that I was on. ;) But yeah, it was a fun time, I got to see some old friends, see some more recent freinds, and spend a lot of time with God!

The services were great, I think I came back with something every night! God was moving in a mighty way in that camp. I got what I needed everynight. And the adult class was really good too! Bro. Shuler is a good teacher. =) and I'm not just sucking up to my girl's dad! Ha ha! It was really good, I enjoyed our classes very much. Ha ha, and there were some puppets that made an appearance in those classes that were quite funny if I don't say so myself. ;) They made quite the impression, especially on the ladies! Isn't that right Sis. Tammy!? ;P

Oh! Hey! While I was gone at camp I turned 21!! Yeah, it was my birthday on the 17th in case you didn't know. =) They sang to me at breakfast, and the girls cabin made me feel pretty special when they gave me their homemade card, and they all had signed it. =) It was nice. Gracie gave me a gift before we even left for camp! You should see it....it's a t-shirt with our picture on it, and it says Arizona on my mind...it's great! I got a picture of Noelle and I today, and I've got it on, I'll have to post it. =) Oh, and Jacob gave me a shirt too, you might have seen him wear his at camp, cause he has one like it. It says Welcome to the gunshow, and it has this stick figure guy flexing! Ha ha! it's funny. Thanks again guys for making me feel special on my birthday! =) I love you all!

Ok...well I'll post more later, this one is long enough. =) Talk to ya later!

PDGA Approved!

2006-07-10T09:00:00.000-07:00

Have you guys ever heard of Frisbee Golf?? Well I had before, and I thought it looked interesting, and we had made our own little courses before like at the park and stuff. But we just used a regular frisbee. Well when I moved here, I found out that they had a "Folf" course right there on campus at my school. I thought that was kind of cool... then one of my friends says one day hey you wanna go folfing? I accepted of course! It looked like fun to me. So we went out there and he let me use one of his discs...it was a blast! I mean...I wasn't very good at first but it was still fun. =P And the discs are a little differant than your everyday frisbee. They are slimmer, and heavier, and have less of a lip on the bottom. They fly amazingly far! Some people can through them well over One hundred yards. So...anyways...my buddy, Tyler, lately he's been calling me and we've been folfing together like all week! And he's pretty good, and I'm getting pretty good myself! I was surprised yesterday, I beat Tyler! Ha! Well we played two rounds, I tied him the first time, and beat him the next! I was excited. =) So yeah...folf is fun, and I'm starting to get the hang of it! Oh! Caleb was there too, and he's actually starting to get the hang of it too, I still beat him both times though...he he. ;) So yeah...if any of you want to go Folfing come on over here to Havre and I'll take ya! It's lots of fun. =)

ok...burn update! It still stings...that concludes our daily burn update, please tune in tomorrow to hear more. Thankyou and goodnight...er morning...or whatever.

2006-07-08T21:45:00.000-07:00

Ok here's the deal...I went jet skiing with a couple of my buddies today...for the first time ever! Oh man...it was sweet! I mean, one of the funnest things I've ever done. =) I was flying! ha ha, I actually threw myself off once cause I was going so fast, and I took a sharp turn and I just got sucked right off the back...it was crazy. But anyways, I don't know if you can tell very well on here, but I got a pretty good sunburn out there. =P It kinda hurts...Ha! But it was totally worth it. =D Anyway...I thought I would put a couple pics on here. I'll probably put one of them as my profile...but I'm not sure which one yet. Alright...I'm out!

Pizza fingers

2006-07-07T12:17:00.000-07:00

Alrighty people! It's that time again! Time for you to subject yourselves to another long and boring post by yours truly. Ok...maybe they're not that long...and not that boring...and maybe you enjoy them! But either way...it's time.

I just got done eating a late lunch of left over pizza. It was Nalifca's Pizza! Oh my word it's SOO good! If you're wondering why you've never heard of it, it's because it's only sold here in Havre, it's a little family owned place that they run out of the front of their house! But I tell you what, they make some good pizza. It's not your usual pizza, it's differant, in a good way. I'm not sure how to explain it, you would just have to try in I guess. And it's REALLY greasy! They put a ton of cheese on there. I think they put slices of real cheese all over the top instead of shredded. *therefore....pizza fingers*

Hey guess what! In about one week I get to go see my Gracie!! Oh my word, I'm so excited. =) It's been about two months now since the last time I saw her. And it's absolutely killing me! I miss her so bad. I just keep telling myself..."one week...just one week" =P Ha ha. I talked to her on the phone today, I really enjoyed talking to her...I guess I always do. =) We just kept reminding eachother that it's going to be soon! Then we can be together again. I can't wait! I've really missed her. Sometimes I feel like I'm going to go absolutely insane being here without her.

Man...is anyone else just dying for the pirates of the caribbean to come out!? Man I want to see that SO bad. =P It looks really good. And cars too, I want to see that one. I've heard that it's really good. Ha ha, while Dave and Melissa were here, Dave convinced her that she should watch the Pirates of the Caribbean with him! I don't think she really wanted to. But she did, I wish I could have been up to watch her reactions to it, but I had to get up really early to go fishing, and it was already really late. She said she covered her eyes through a lot of it! Ha! She did say though, that the skeleton monkey didn't scare her, she said it just looked like a wet dog to her. =P Ha ha, which was funny cause if I remember right I think that was one of the parts that freaked Mandie out a lot! But of course we all know Mandie has a this thing about monkeys. =P I always get her a Monkey card for her birthday. ;)

Alrighty...that's about enough for today. Until next time! I'm out like the 80's...

Uncle Pauly ;)

I'M AN UNCLE!!!

2006-06-29T17:05:00.000-07:00

Yes! You heard me right! I'm an Uncle! Mandie had the baby at 5:02 this afternoon! I'm so excited...she's beautiful. =) She has dark skin, and black curly hair. I'll let you know the details later when I know them all ok? But I just thought I would tell you! I gotta go! I'll fill ya in more later!

Uncle Pauly =D

2006-06-28T11:38:00.000-07:00

Well, I don't have a whole lot to write about today, but I'm trying to write everyday so people will read! Ha! Cause I've noticed the more you write, the more comments you get, and I like comments! And I've been trying to comment on other's blogs as well. I know I'm not very good at that. I am reading though! Even if I don't comment all the time, I do try and stop by everyone's blogs.

Let's see, well today I just got finished fixing the shower curtain! Ha! It feel down before I left a month ago. Noelle was hanging on it like a monkey. But we never bothered to put it back up cause none of us were going to be living here for a little while. Except now I'm back after a month, and I had no shower curtain! So needless to say, I had to take showers without a curtain. *ugh* I just spread some towels out to catch any water that sprays out. =P But I finally just went into the basement and scrounged around for a while until I found the stuff to fix it! Man I am a handy man and a half! Oh yeah. =) Oh...and sorry for any mental pictures or anything. =S

Anyways...so I just got off the phone with Gracie a little while ago. I always enjoy our phone calls! But at the same time, when we hang up, it just leaves me wanting more. You know? I just want to be there right at this moment! I don't want to have to hang up, to say goodbye. Ha ha, but don't worry, we're not sappy enough to do the "no you hang up!" Thing...ha! No... I just miss her that's al. I miss her SO much! But hey! I do get to see her in less than three weeks! So I'm really excited about that. =)

Oh! My parents are almost here. Yeah, they're coming for the baby, Mandie should be having it any time now! I'm excited for them to be home, it's gotten kinda boring and lonely here in the house alone. It hasn't been too bad though, cause I am quite the loner sometimes. I can handle being alone, and a lot of the time I even like to be alone!

Alright...I'm out like the 80's. Untill next time!

It's great to be alive!

2006-06-27T12:08:00.000-07:00

I know I already posted today...but I just wanted to post again and just give the Lord praise for this day! I was just walking to Caleb and Mandie's house, the sun is shining, it's warm, there is a slight breeze, and it's just beautiful! I'm so thankful to be alive. And to have the Lord. I have so many things to be thankful for, my heart is full of love, I'm soon to be an uncle, my life is full of wonderful friends and family, and most importantly I have Jesus as my Lord and saviour! I have to say lately, my life has seemed to be a little stressful, but walking down the street today, basking in the warm sunlight, I just looked around me and saw God's creation, and I began to think of all the blessings he's poured out on me, and my family. So I want to just thank the Lord, and say that I love Him SO much!

The streets

2006-06-27T10:15:00.000-07:00

I have a story for ya...a story of races, deception, blood, and model rockets...so sit back relax, grab some popcorn and apple jacks, and enjoy.

Ok...so on Sunday, I was hanging out with some friends and we were trying to decide what to do besides hang out in the front yard of Jeff's house watching him bounce around on his pogo stick. Which by the way was pretty entertaining, since he was rather good at it. He was jumping up and down three stairs on his side walk! Then I laid down and let him jump over me. It was fun. =P But anyways, yeah...so we were trying to decide what to do. Then Jaucque, I don't know if that's how you spell it but oh well...anyways, he said he had this model rocket that we could go shoot off, so we all agreed and thought ok why not. But I remembered that I had left my bike right out in the open, where I met all of them, and got a ride. So I wanted to go back and get it so it wouldn't get stolen. So Attie said she would drive me up there real quick. When we got there, I told bet her that I could beat her back...me on my bike, and her in her truck. So we take off...down hill...and I'm actually passing her, I knew I would on the hill, because my bike is really good for coasting. But just as I am picking up a TON of speed, I hit this nasty bump in the road, losing control of my bike for a second, it scared me to death, cause I was going FAST! But I regained control of the bike, and continued down the hill. But Attie had gotten too far ahead of me then. But I still was riding as fast as I could down the road back to Jeff's house. I was about two blocks away watching Attie stop there when.....CRASH! Before I could even think I was hitting pavement! There was no rolling, sliding, not even a bounce....just slamming to the road! I laid there in pain wondering what in the world had just happened to me. Jeff came running up, "what a loser! Who wrecks....oh...wow." Ha ha, Jeff is only like 14 I think. So yeah he was laughing at me untill he saw me. =P Then he grabbed my bike and rode off...ha ha, he was getting it out of the road, he wasn't stealing it. Unlike his mom who jacked my hat! But that's another story. So anyways, I start to get up and try and walk it off, and Jaucque comes up in his car to give me a ride back. I start to look myself over to see what the damage is...I came out of that wreck with a huge chunk ripped out of the palm of my left hand, my right elbow has a chunk ripped out and road rash up my for arm, and both my knees are scraped and road rashed. I'm standing there dripping whith blood and covered in dirt from the road, so I limped over to his car so I could get a ride back to the house. When I got back they are all just like "whoa what happened man!?" They said they just heard the crash, and looked over and I was on the ground. Except for Titus, he saw it. What happened was, I was cruising really fast down the road, and I hit something, I think it was a pot hole, or a dirt spot or something. But whatever it was, my front tire came off the ground, and turned to the left, and I just hit the ground, before I even knew what happened! So I got myself all cleaned up with the water hose in their front yard, and they poured peroxide on me. Then we set off to find a mom to bandage me up. We eventually went to my Tylers mom, and she got me all patched up. It was crazy.

Ha ha! But I forgot to tell you this...before we were hanging out in Jeff's front yard, we had gone to Pizza Hut. While we were there we were talking and laughing, and somehow the subject of wrecks, and getting hurt came up! And we were all telling stories of how we wrecked on skateboards, bikes and whatever. And at one point I had said how it always seems to be the stupid wrecks that hurt the most. Then right after that...here I go and have this stupid wreck, which turns out to be one of the worst I've had! How retarted is that!?

Ha....so anyways, I've gotta run. Er...limp. ;) Ha ha! See ya!

2006-06-24T11:24:00.000-07:00

Well today I mowed the lawn....man! I don't think it's been mowed in weeks. =P It was like a jungle out there! I had to hire Tarzan as a guide to find my way through the front yard! I was afraid of being attacked by some beast. And have you ever tried mowing in a loin cloth!? Yeah...you can imagine...;) But no it wasn't too bad. But while mowing, I ran over a rusting old buick hidden in the grass. And there was this incedent with a kid trying to get his ball back from out from underneath the mower, a few lacerations, and some screaming...I told him to walk it off. But other than that hey I'm good! ;)

Ha ha, ok...I think I'm going to get some lunch! Hasta con queso!

Wow...um...I'm not sure what to write. But, I have nothing else to do at the moment, so I figured I would.

Let's see...I'll just tell you about the last couple of days, hows that? Good? Ok. ;)

What's today Friday? Yeah..ok....sorry I lose track sometimes when I'm home with nothing to do! Ha! Ok, well I'll start with Wednesday. The day that Gracie and I celebrated being together a year! =) Well, other than missing Gracie like crazy...I did a few things. I was invited to go to a ministry in the park thing for the youth in Havre, if you didn't know, since I've moved here, I've worked together with the Assembly of God at reaching the youth here in Havre. So, yeah, they told me about this ministry in the park thing they were doing, and asked if I wanted to come and help out. I said yes. They had the taco cart come from Taco Johns, it was good, they've had it before. What they do is, you pay two dollars, then you get all you can eat! Oh man...yeah. The last time they did that, I ate like 14 tacos, then they closed on me. =P This time I wasnt' out to prove myself or anything, so I only ate 8. But yeah, they also brought in this christian rapper guy. He was pretty good, for rap I guess. But then there was this lady, who thinks she's a rapper, and she got up there after he was done. She was a friend of his. Needless to say it wasn't really planned! And she was....horrible. Absolutely horrible. Like...blow my brains out on the ground horrible! It was bad. So she did two songs, she was just singing a long with her CD. And one of her songs skipped the whole time! Ha! Then she asked if we wanted one more...ha ha, I wanted to scream "NOOOO!!" But instead...I gave a half hearted "yeah" Because I felt bad that no one else was saying anything. =P So she did one more. Unfotunately.

Ok...then Thursday, thursday I didn't do a whole lot until I went to Caleb and Mandie's house later on in the evening. They invited some friends over and we played I buy. Man you know I'm pretty good at that game! I won. It wasn't easy this time, but I won. And I played with just Caleb and Mandie the other day, and I won every single round! I had zero points at the end of the game! It was good. Caleb says I'm the luckiest player at that game of all time. But hey, no one's that lucky. It takes some skill. ;) The only time I can't win all the time, is when I play with Rebekah, or Sam. Sam buys everything! Ha ha! And Bekah is just plain good!

But anyways...that's about it for now folks. I guess I'll go. Hopefully I'll get to talk to Gracie today! I'm wanting to call her, but I haven't heard from her yet today. =( Anyways...I'm out like the 80's...

Not just the first day of summer...

2006-06-21T10:56:00.000-07:00

Guess what!? You don't know?? Ok I'll tell you!!

Today is a special day!! Today is the day that Gracie and I have officially been together ONE WHOLE YEAR!!

Ok maybe not together, but apart together, since we live far apart. =P If that makes any sense. But yeah...isn't that great!? One year...and many more to come Lord willing. I'm so thankful that we're together, I thank God everyday for what He's given us. Gracie is absolutely perfect for me, and I couldn't be happier! *sigh* yeah...it's been a good year, we've made some good memories. And as any relationship, we've had a few bumps a long the way. But they only helped us grow stronger together, and in the Lord. Did I mention that I'm the luckiest and happiest guy on the face of this earth!? Ha! Well I am!

Pauly

Hey...I know I don't post a whole lot anymore...but what's going on!? When I first started this blogging thing, I had SO many readers! And I got lots of comments...where is everyone?

And they hold like 80 minutes of music on em'! Well I have just been using my CD player for a long time because I though I lost all the stuff to put music on this thing, but I found it all the other day! Ha! So I made me another MD to listen to, and I'm planning on making more! It's great. So I'm rockin man!! Oh yeah! Throw up your rock fist! WOOT! ha ha!

Miles from nowhere...

2006-06-17T17:59:00.000-07:00

Tell me I'm pathetic, tell me I'm a loser...call me whatever you want but...I really get lonely when Gracie goes away! I know we're miles apart, but just the fact that I don't here from her for days at a time makes her seem even farther away. I miss her. I hope that you're having a good time at the convention Gracie! I'm sure she is...I'm praying that God will really move there, and that the lessons she teaches will go really well. I'm sure they will. I've read some of the things she's written, I have to say she has a gift for that sort of thing! I was really impressed with the childrens things she's written. But anyways...I just thought I would post real quick...give a little shout out to Gracie even though she can't read this at the moment. I miss you Grace, can't wait to hear from you again. And I'm even more excited to see you next month! WOO!

Alright...well I'm gonna get outa here. I just ate dinner at Caleb and Mandie's house...we had Chicken Tetrazini (?) and oh my word...it was delicious! And I am absolutely stuffed. =P And for dessert we're having rhubarb, strawberry crisp. Mmm...I know sounds good right? Ok, well I'm outa here! Until next time!

Pauly

Hmm...does anyone else smell spaghetti?

2006-06-15T17:37:00.000-07:00

Ok so here I am back from camp...so I figured I better post something. =)

Alright...so do you guys want to here all about my craziness of travel!? My tale of planes trains and automobiles!? Well whether you like it or not...here goes....

Ok...so as you already know I went to see Gracie a few weeks ago...well after that when I came back to Portland expecting to go back to Pasco...I found out that I would instead be riding the train to some place called Wishram Washington! I was surprised. Dad took another job, but it's actually in "The Dalles" Washington. Wishram is the closest to there. So I went there, and sat in a Hotel room for a week or two, just doing nothing really. Then our camp was coming up! And I wasn't sure how I was going to get there, whether by train to someone's house to give me a ride, or drive myself. Well I found out that Lyndi and Devin go right through where we were staying! So....we called em up! And asked if the could pick me up on the way...and they said they would love to. =) So I had my ride.

The day came that they were picking me up...ha ha..well first I have to tell you that when I talked to them on the phone, they asked if I was all ready. And I said "yep" and they named off a few things...and I realized I didn't have a sleeping bag, or towels!! Ha ha! So I had to go buy a cheap sleeping bag, and I took some of the hotel's towels. =P Shh...don't tell anyone. ;) I was going to return them when I go back...but I realized when I got home yesterday that I left them at the Dorans....but I'm getting ahead of myself!

Ok so riding to camp with Devin and Lyndi was a lot of fun. We stopped at Subway forever. ;) And Threw baloons out the window. ha ha. And we listented to Sonny and Cher.

Then there was camp. Hopefully there is no camp staff reading this cause I'm about to confess some things here. ;) Ok...pretty much everything the guys did this year....I was there...behind the whole thing! Ha! Our cabin, which was filled with the young guys, pulled pranks every night! And for some odd reason they appointed me there leader one night. =) I hope I led them to their satisfaction. Ha ha, I know I never got caught! Yeah we did a lot of funny things. The first night we went and put tooth paste on the girls toilet seats. =P Allen and Zeb got busted for that one. And another night we tied the girls cabin shut, then we did this funny shadow show on thier window and banged on all the cabin doors. And I think we rang the bell like everynight. Ha ha, but..I only actually had my hands on the rope once. ;) Another night, we went to the girls cabins again, and we heard they were awake, and we started banging on their walls and windows again. They all screamed SO loud! Ha ha! So we all ran away and hid. Then I told all the boys to stay put, except Aaron, I grabbed him and went back to the cabin. I told him we were going to stay behind the cabin till they came out to look for us. When they walked past us, I ran out from behind the cabin, up behind them and yelled "What are you doing!?" Ha ha! You should have seen how high they jumped, and how loud they screamed!! Oh my word...it was hilarious. =P Then after that, the girls came with us, and I broke into the kitchen. Oh but before that Sis. Rebekah came out of the bathroom out of nowhere with Lauren! So they came with us too, and we all played spoons. It was fun. Ha ha, we also went to the girls cabin while they were at their crafts time, and we threw all their mattresses in the rafters. =P We did a lot of crazy stuff, it was fun. But I have to give props to the girls, they pulled a fast one on us too. They came to our bathrooms one night, the same night that we tied their door shut....anyways...they came to our bathrooms, and took the shower curtains, and put Koolaid in some of the shower heads. Ha! I have to admit that was preety good. =)

And while I was there, I got adopted for the week by brother Kevin, my daddy-o! Ha! It was because we had family devotions, and I didn't have a family. =P So he was my foster dad. Ha ha, it was fun, he would say "who's your daddy!?" "you're my daddy!" Ha....yeah good times. It wasn't just me though there were two others he adopted too, we had uh...Bro. Nathan, and Bro. Allen too. =) We were a happy family, except for being late, and quareling. ;) Ha ha, it was fun, whenever I would see Bro. kevin I would say, "hey daddy-o!" And he would say "Son, sonny son son, the sonster, the soninator!" Ha ha ha! You had to be there.

Wow, and there were some good services that week too. I really enjoyed Bro. Kevin's messages! The Lord really moved in those services! And I got to sing a special, which I haven't done in quite a while. It felt good to worship the Lord in song again, and the spirit moved strong. It was amazing. Sage was filled with the holy ghost, T.J. got sanctified, and I believe there was another who got sanctified. And I know there were some other things, but I never heard the official count or anything, so...you'll have to ask the camp Directors! =) But yeah...the Lord was there, and the Holy Ghost was moving every night! It was a blessing.

Oh! I can't forget to mention that I met Sis. Katie while I was there. I've only ever met her just here in blog world until now! She was great! I liked her a lot. I liked the way she called me Pauly or Paulywog right off the bat. =) Most people don't start calling me that until they've known me for a while. But I guess that's all you see here in blog world huh? ;) But yeah, I just thought I would get that out there, cause I was glad to meet her! It was a nice surprise, I didn't know she would be there!

Ok anyways...after camp Bro. Kevin and I both rode home with the Dorans. That was fun. Oh we went to Glacier Park while we were there! That was a lot of fun. And we got a pic of my daddy-o with the killer bush! Ha! Yeah...it was fun. We did a little rock climbing, hanging of trees over rivers, and some hiking where we saw a Caradelk! It was amazing. ;) Ha ha....yeah. Anyway...So then, daddy-o, and Bro. Jacob took me to the train station, where I hopped on a train to come here, Havre mt. Well actually it wasn't that easy....cause we were there an hour early! The train was late, so we got up at six in the morning for nothing. Oh I forgot to mention the whole day I was there we were singing our lungs out to Clay Crosse! It turns out that all three of us are fans. =) But anyway...we went to get some coffee since we were early. Then I got on the train and left.

On the train I met two women...one who's son is in a rock band! He's like 28 now I think, but their band has been out there since they were young teenagers. They've made four CD's I think...I thought that was pretty cool. I ate lunch with them on the train. =) I think the band was called DNA? Yeah that was it. But I think they said that stands for Down and After. So yeah it was a preety interesting ride home on the train.

And so I guess that's about it for now. Except that in one month...I get to go see Gracie again! And my Daddy-o! Cause I'm going down there for their camp. I'm really excited! It's going to be fun. Oh! And I'll get to see Sam and Tammy while I'm there too! I haven't seen them in forever! I can't wait. Especially to see Gracie. ;)

Ok well this post is...WAY long! So I'm gonna stop now. Are you guys satisfied!? I know I haven't posted in a little while. Ha ha, you should be able to waste at least ten to fifteen minutes of your life on this one! ;) Alright, well gotta run! Keep me in your prayers, and you're all in mine!

Until next time!
Paulywog

Ok it's next time!

2006-06-02T13:15:00.000-07:00

Ok now to finish what I started in the last post...the thing I stole from Gracie who stole it from...um...I can't remember who she stole it from now. =S Help me out here Grace! Ha!

Anywho...

Let's see who was next....OH! My bro & sis! ha! Ok...
Hmm..well what can I say. I love em both to death! I know Caleb and I, we were all each other had for the most part, being home schooled, and moving a lot. So Caleb was my best friend! We would play our pretend games together...you know the usual boy stuff. Of course we had our quarrels, but what siblings don't. One thing I remember is that we always seemed to make up on our own. We would always apologize to each other and everything would go on like normal. Ha, maybe part of that was beacause we didn't want mom or dad to get involved, cause that would end in punishment! Ha! And no one likes to be forced to say they're sorry. =P But let's see...how bout a memory...OH! ha ha, this should let you in on some of the things we did, and how accident proned Caleb was...and is...;) Ok, we had this hoe...(a garden tool people! Get your minds out of the gutter. ;) ) But the hoe part was broken off...so it was just the big wood handle, with this sharp peice of metal sticking of the end like a spear. And being boys that's exactly what we use it for! ha! We took it to the park, and started throwing it at the tire swing....it was practice for when we ever had to hunt down a wild boar you know! Ha I wish I would have had that at camp in New Mexico...right Jake!? He hee...anyways....so it was Caleb's turn to throw it. He threw the thing at the tire...and it bounces off flies back, flips around, and the sharp end hits him right in the face! =P It was crazy...there was a blood stain in the ally where I left him to get my parents, for years, due to the pool of blood that came pooring out of his face. Just below his lower lip. =S

Now there's Mandie! Ha ha...what can I say about Mandie? Well...She's Mandie! Ha! No...I remember first meeting Mandie, she came to our house for dinner. And it was kinda strange cause basically we all knew it was just to get her and Caleb together. =P But after we got passed the first awkwardness it was alright. I remember finding out before I met her that she only had one hand, you know to be honest that was a shock at first. And you think when you first meet her..."oh don't draw any attention, I don't want to hurt her feelings" Ha ha, but I didn't know Mandie. =P She was the first one to start cracking jokes! Beware if you're on the phone, and you say "I can't I only have one hand" In front of her...she'll be sure you give you a hard time. ;) But what I remember most about first getting to know her was that, instead of talking to Caleb like she was supposed to...she started like giving me the twenty questions! Ha ha! She was all talking to me and asking me questions...and I'm sitting there thinking "aren't you supposed to be interested in him??" Ha ha, but she told me later that, with Caleb it was kinda awkward cause you know they were being fixed up..but she felt she could just talk to me cause I was just there to be the friend you know? Caleb and Mandie have been married two years now...and finally after all this time of me "hinting" they're finally making me an Uncle! WOO! I'm so excited. =) But yeah...anywho...I couldn't ask for a better sister in law...but we never even use that term, we prefer sister. =) That's how I treat her anyways...like I would treat a sister. Our sarcasim sometimes go's out of control when we're together. =P But it's all in fun. And she's not afraid to tell me when it's time for me to leave their house. ;) Mandie is a good sister though...she's always there for me. When I wasn't sure who to talk to, she was there to listen, and pray for me. Her and Caleb both are very good to me.

Wow...Maybe I better shorten this down some! Ha ha! I can't write a novel on everyone. =P

Who's next...Anthony! You guys don't know Anthony...he's one of the many aquired freinds that I met in Havre mt. He's a good guy. Always seems joyful, and ready to have a good time! Although he did poke me in the mouth with a sharp sword...he's still my buddy. ;) He's on a good path, always seeking and getting deeper with God. Ha ha, there is always something new with him...some new thing that's got him all excited. A new violin or hat. =) It's great. Ha ha, he likes to make fun of my lack of facial hair...while he sports his long gotee. =P But I say...one day Anthony! One day you'll see me with a beard....maybe. ;P

Then there's bethany! Ha ha, beth...I once told her that I was going to build her a house. =) I told that I would draw it up and she could tell me everything that she wanted, and I would build it for her. =) That was a long time ago. But I'll still keep my word if you want that house Beth! Ha ha...but um...the skating thing...yeah that's not gonna happen. ;) ha ha, but anyways...Bethany...she is so friendly, loving, and compassionate! I'm her favorite cousin you know...isn't that right Beth! ;) Ha ha, I remember...for the longest time she had no hair! Ha! When she was a baby of course. ;) And then we got a picture from my Aunt and Uncle, and she had hair, we were so surprised! We were like "wow...bethany has hair!" Ha! It was funny.

Ok I'll do one more then I'm going to do a continuation...cause this is getting long! *whew*

Denise! Ok...well I haven't known Denise for very long...I met her at the last Assembly. But I know she is one of Gracie's very good friends. And from the little time I spent with her, I can tell she is very nice, and very friendly. I enjoyed her being around. Oh! And I think she made her own purse thing that she was carrying?? yeah and it was reversable I think...Don't ask me why I remember that...but I do. =P But I thought that was kinda cool. And I think it's cool how she write's and sings her own music...I'd really like to hear one of her songs sometime. maybe the next Assembly. =)

Ok...this is going to have to be continued folks...cause this is getting long! Gotta run!

Pauly

Ok ok...I said I would...

2006-06-01T13:08:00.000-07:00

Ok I said on Gracie's blog that I would do the memory thing...cause I liked it. She stole it from someone else now I'ma gonna steal it from her! WOOT WOOT! Cause that's what I do. ;) Even though I don't have as many people on my links. =P

Ok who's first....Oh...Gracie! ;)
Let's see...well, I guess I've known her for...hmm...I don't know what like 3 years now?? And we've been together for ONE WHOLE YEAR!! Isn't that great!? That makes me happy. =) *sigh*...yeah good times...oh! Yeah back to the memory thing...but I just had to throw that out there for you guys. Anywho...I believe the strongest tie to memory is smell...and one thing I can tell you is that Gracie always smells SO....GOOD! Ha, I still remember what she smelled like at BTI...she wore...um...what was it enchanted? I can tell you...it worked, cause I was enchanted! I have to say those are some of my best memories with Gracie, are those two weeks I spent with her at BTI. Oh! But ok...here's one of the best! When I came to their house a day early and surprised her! Do you remember her telling you about that? Well it was Great. I showed up at the door, she answered...and she had this look of not knowing what was going on! Ha! Then it was like it hit her like a slap in the face! ha! And she did this little dance thing, and then about knocked me over when she jumped to give me a hug. =) Yeah...good times. ONE YEAR!! WOO!

Oh no! Ha ha, well sorry guys...I'm going to have to continue this later! Cause I'm at the library, and I just ran out of time on the computer. =S I guess I should have looked at the time before I started this. *sigh* Well I got Gracie anyways. =) I'll do the rest of you later!

Untill next time!

Nothing else to do

2006-05-30T14:44:00.000-07:00

Ok...well I went and checked my e-mail, and no one has written me yet, so I figured I better post on here, it's long over due. I need to talk about my trip!

Ok first off, I was so excited to see Gracie! Oh my word, I missed her SO bad...and now I do again. It's insane to think that I've been there and gone for a week already. It's like it was just a dream and I woke up. But yeah anyways, I had SO much fun over there! We went to this place called Makutu's (?) It was so fun! It was this big place with a huge playground that looked like a jungle. So like the whole playground was suspended in this huge tree. It was so cool! It was so big that they let adults run around in there with their kids...good thing cause I wouldn't be able to resist running around in there. =P But of coarse we all got our share of burns from going down the slides! Well except Gracie...somehow she slipped by with no burns. But Jacob and I both got them right on our ankles, and they've been bleeding and stuff. And sis. Shuler too! Ha! She was climbing around in there with us...it was great. She got her share of burns too. =S

Oh! And I got to see one of their gigs....I really enjoyed it! I absolutely LOVE to hear Gracie sing! Ha ha, they did have a few mishaps during the show...but it wasn't too bad. Just a busted string and a few forgotten lyrics...but it was great otherwise! I loved it. =) Did I mention I love to hear Gracie sing?? ;)

Well I'm in the Hotel Lobby, and I think this guy wants to get on, he might work for the railroad so I better let him on. Talk to ya later!

2006-05-10T19:22:00.000-07:00

What up yo!? I'm here at my Grandma and Papa's house in Vancouver washinton right now. I figured I'd post real quick since you haven't heard from me in a while. And the reason for that is that I've been in Pasco! Where my dad is on his temporary job there, so we don't have any internet over there. So I had no way of doing e-mail or blogging. It was terrible! =P No it wasn't that bad. But anyways...here I am!

So yeah...I'm here for a week....then...I go on to Arizona!! WOOHOO! Yep I get to go see my girl. =) I'm so excited. Just one more week then I won't have to miss her anymore. But that also means that I have to leave her again, which I HATE doing. *sigh* But I just can't wait to see her, even if it is just for one week. One week of bliss! =) You know I just love being around Gracie. Even before we were together. She is just great. I'm a lucky guy! I really am. I don't know what I did to deserve a girl like her, but I am so thankful. All of you that have known her for her whole life know what I'm talking about...ha..or even those who haven't! If you have just met her once and known her for a day you know what I'm talking about! She's wonderful...amazing...beautiful...ha ha, I could go on forever! *sigh* I'm just lucky...that's all I'm trying to say. =)

Ha ha, well....um...I think that's all for now. =P You'll here from me later. Untill next time....Fare long and So well!

Housetraining your dog

2006-04-27T20:15:00.000-07:00

Ok.....I'm watching Walk the line....you know the movie about Johnny Cash? And..well...He was a dog!! I didn't really know how bad this guy was. He was so screwed up with drugs and stuff. Man. I haven't finished it yet though, I think it's getting close to being over, but mom had to step out, so now I'm waiting for her to come back so I can finish. So I figured I would take this opportunity to post! Since Kasey told me that if I post then people will comment more. =P So...this is me posting! =)

I found out that some certain old friends of mine read my blog! So here's my shout out...HI DORFELERS! I hope I spelled that right. =P You guys will have to tell me later. Ha ha!

Well I guess they called off the "grandma dog" they got there and the place was just a dump...and people didn't take good care of their dogs. So mom didn't want to get one of their's. But isn't that common?? For rats to live in dumpy houses? Ha! No....but we are still getting a dog! I'm a little more excited about this one.....it's a golden retriever! That's going to be cool. =) I think we've decided to name it Sam. They are going to go get it on Saturday, I was going to go, but I'm stuck working. Bummer.

"Did you think that I would cry....over the phone? Do you know what it feels like...bein alone?" Ha ha sorry. =P But I really like this song. I would break out in song if you all could here me! But that's the best your gonna get from me now.

So it's finals week! WOO HOO! Next week is the last week of school. I'm excited. =) My last day will be the 4th. Next week I don't have any classes though, I just have to finals on Tuesday, and one on Thursday. Other than those I'm pretty much done after the classes I have tomorrow! I'm really excited. =)

Ok well I better go...I just found out that mom WALKED to a friends house near by...in the dark! Alone with Noelle! GOSH! So I'm going to walk over there so she's not walking home alone. Aloha!

Pauly

whoa whoa whoa!!

2006-04-20T21:54:00.000-07:00

Hey ppl! I'm not really sure what I'm going to post about, but I figured it was about time. ;)

Ok....um...Hey I went to a free concert at the school the other day. Is was a band called AMADAN. That's Gelic(?) for Idiot! Ha ha! Yeah they were an Irish rock band, it was really fun. They had a diggery-do, a flute, and a violin. It was pretty cool. I bought one of their shirts. =P

Hey I got a new phone from verizon, yeah I was due for an upgrade. So I got this sweet mp3 player phone! It's also a digital camera, and takes short videos to. Yeah it's really cool! Except I haven't been able to get any songs on there yet. I'm still working on that one.

Ok enough about things....um...wow...I can't think of anything else right now. Hm....think real hard Pauly.....Oh! Hey! Man I'm so stoked that Ace left!! Oh man I've been waiting for that for so long. I'm happy. =) He was such a nerd. =P But I guess that's old news...I just had to get it out of my system......................Ace is gone! WOO! Ok I'm done.

So I guess mom is getting this dog tomorrow for Noelle...it's called a Maltese....??? You ever heard of them? Yeah you look it up on the internet, it's one of those living dust mops! They look like they have Cher's hair, only it's white and all over there body. Ha ha....Yeah it's a grandma dog, Noelle's going to be a grandma dog owner at the age of 8! "hey little girl, are you walking your grandma's dog?" "nope it's mine" "oh...she must have bought it for you then?" "nope...my mom" "ok". But hey! If you keep there hair short they aren't bad looking dogs. Mom says they look like little teddy bears. I think it looks like domestic vermin. Ha ha, no it's not that bad really, I mean look at the bright side, I always wanted a hamster! ;) But no seriously, we'll never have to pay for another meal, Noelle can just let her dog loose and BAM! Free meal on acount infestation! Ha! Ok....I'm done For real....=P

Well it looks like it's about my bed time. =) Good night blog world.... and remember, don't eat your lunch standing up...you might get sick!

I'm....tired........

Pauly

I...don't....know

2006-04-15T18:07:00.000-07:00

*sigh* have I mentioned that I miss Gracie? Well...if I haven't then I'll tell you now...I MISS GRACIE! Here that Gracie, ha ha, I guess you're one of the last people that actually read my blog. SO....I miss you Gracie. I hope I can see you soon, cause I'm feeling awfly lonely for you.

Ok...I won't make you guys sit through my sappyness! But hey can you blame me? You've all been in my shoes before. Well a lot of you anyways. =P

Well my new deck finally got here, but I'm kinda dissapointed with it. It's not nearly as good as my old one. And the trucks and wheels aren't as good either. The board has no pop. It's sad...but it will have to work until I can afford to get a nicer one again.

I'm not sure what to say now. Hm...I'm kinda...bored...and there's nothing I can really tell you! You know I'm kinda wondering why I even write in this any more. =S I'm not really that exciting...well sometimes, but not enough to keep everybody's interest. I don't have readers anymore! I'm thinking about retireing from the blogging world.....

anyways! I guess I'll skoot.

Wow it's been a while huh? Ha! Well I have to say I've been a pretty busy guy. =P I've been running around like a checken with it's head cut off! But I'm here writing now...so it's all better, don't cry. ;)..........(ok this is me, in the future commenting on what I've written....You might want to settle in...grab a blanket...maybe some pop-corn and juju-bees....cause this is a long one! Just thought I'd warnd ya. ;) )

Ok...so here's the dealio! Man I've got a lot to tell you this time! I'm trying to think of where to start. =P Um...well I'll start with skateboarding....since it's one of my favorites. Ok....so it's finally warm enough, and no snow, so I can start skateboarding. So I'm getting out there to the skatepark a few times a week, and It's feeling good! And I've got a friend from school that's just as bad as me, so I don't have to go and stink up the park alone. ;) So I'm getting better...slowly...I even get to where I can land a heel flip once in a while...if you don't know what that is...all you have to know is that it's hard! So yeah I'm feeling good skating around...oh yeah...that's the life...Then I'm at a friends house, and I decided I wanted to ollie down his three steps, I do it once...land it....twice...land it again....three times....*SNAP!* my board breaks in half....my whole skateboarding world came crashing down with that one noise...I didn't even have to look at the board I knew what had happened...my heart sank...then it raged! I kicked the board across the yard...and walked away. Never to come back to it again...Ha ha! No just kidding, I went over and picked it up. We had a rather nice funeral for it in the back yard...no just kidding again! Ha! I'm going to turn it into paper and write "Diary of a broken deck" Ha no...I'm just going to hang it on my wall. =P But....I did order a new one! WOO! I ordered it from ebay, I hope it gets here soon, cause I'm anxious to get back out there! Some one needs to stink up the skatepark. ;)

Wow...I wrote a lot there. =P Ok I guess you might be wondering why I'm not at school? Ok maybe not....but I'll tell you anyways! Well today I got up just like usual, I got out my intro to music theory homework that I never do untill the morning of. ;P When I realized that class is cancled today! Haha! You should have seen me, I threw up my arms and said...."WOO!" Ha ha. It was funny, then I thought about me next class, carpentry...and guess what? You guessed it...that class is canceled today too...."WOO!" =P So I'm free untill 1:00, that's when I go to welding and cutting...that class is never canceled....Virgil is always there! He was sick one day last month, and I guess that's the first time he's missed a class since he started teaching here over 30 years ago! Isn't that crazy? Yeah, I thought so too.

Let's see...what else....OH! I put new strings on my electric last night....yeah, it sounds good. It's about time I did too, it needed it like....5 years ago! =P

Well I could probably tell you some more stuff, but I think this one is long enough already. And I still have some things to do, even though I'm free from class. =) woo.....;) Ok well I'll talk atcha later! Stay classy blog world. ;)

DQ destruction

2006-03-27T20:57:00.000-08:00

Ok...tonight Caleb, Mandie, and I went to Dairy Queen to get some ice cream. I didn't know what to get since they don't make the heath blizzard very good here. They don't use chocolate syrup in it like other places. So I decide on the rassberry cheesequake blizzard, I figured I can't go wrong, I like rassberrys...and I like cheescake! So I got it. Caleb get's his usual banana split blizzard, and Mandie gets some chocolate something or other....as long as it's ALL chocolate she's good. After getting our order, we procede to walk back to Caleb's truck and head home...then suddenly...I hear this noise. A cracking, squeaking kinda noise. Then I hear a guy's voice say "Oh no way!" I turn just in time to see a silver car, what appeared to be a station wagon fliying over the curb on the other side of the street! The car jumps the curb, misses the light post by less than a foot, and takes out a chain link fence. But it didn't stop there, then it crosses a side street where it jumps another curb and hits a little hill which sends the car flying into the side of the brick building directly across from Dairy Queen! I coudln't believe my eyes! The only words that escaped my mouth were "Dear God" Caleb and I both put down our frozen treats, and ran toward the vehicle...in the mean time Mandie was calling onstar with their pichup. Which took her five minutes to get through, but the time she did get through there were already cops there. But I'm getting ahead of myself....So Caleb and I ran to the car, on the way over we could see in the windows...it looked as if there was no one in the drivers seat. The thought of someone ditching went through my mind. But that wasn't the case. We got to the driver's side door, Caleb opened the door, and we saw a young boy slumped over in the drivers seat. The air bag was deployed, and he was wearing no seatbelt. We weren't sure if he was even alive. We started to try and speak to him...no answer...Caleb rubbed his back a little...not movement..."Oh God.." I thought , "He's dead" Caleb kept talking to him, then we saw some movemen, a feeling of releif went through my mind. Just then a couple of girls ran over...."DON'T TOUCH HIM!" "I was just rubbing his back" Caleb said, I could tell he was a little irritated. The girl checked went to check for a pulse..."he's breathing" Caleb said. We could tell by his movement.
Suddenly the boy wakes up....looks around franticaly..."What's going on!!!" He looked out the front windshield and realized he had wrecked. "Oh man! Did I wreck again!?" The boy was frantic. "did you pass out?" Caleb asked him, "Yes!" The boy is just freaking out, he jumps out of the car, and we're all telling him to be still but he doesn't listen. He jumps out, runs to the front of the car, and is still yelling "I'm screwed! I'm in so much trouble!" Then he got back in the car and shut the door...he started to put it in reverse I think, but Caleb opened the door and told him not to go anywhere. Just then the Police came flying up sirens blazing. And the ambulance shortly after. The cops came up, asked us just a couple very minor questions, got our names and addresses...and then sent us on our way. "Can I call my mom?" the boy asked as we were walking away. The EMT's started examening him.
We left after the cops told us we could go...which was a matter of seconds after they arrived. I don't think they were really asking us to go, they were kind of telling. We still don't know what was going on with the kid. We didn't smell any alcohol or smoke of any sort. And one thing that got us thinking was when he said "did I wreck again?
I guess we won't find out untill we read the papers tomorrow! All I know is that it was a crazy experience. It was weird how we just happened to be there right at the right moment. I don't know if the boy is going to be alright....he seemed ok when he jumped out of the car, but that was most likely adrenaline. I'm sure he's going to have some sort of injuries. He was so young...keep him in your prayers if you could.
Wow....crazy.

I'm back!! And I had a good time there with my family. =) I didn't get any sun really like I'd hoped....*sigh* But it's all good! I fun anyways. =) I bought a few shirts, and a pair of pants while I was there. But you guys don't care about that! Um....Ooh! I ate at Olive Garden while I was there! Oh man....I love that place. =P I've missed that place so much, they don't have any around here. So I enjoyed that. Mmmm Italian.....*drooling* Ok snapping out of it! *wiping saliva from chin*

So anyways...I had a bunch of people over here at my house tonight. We were playing poker. It was fun! We play Texas Hold 'em a lot. Mandie bought Caleb this whole set with all the chips and everything, so it's pretty cool! I didn't really know how to play poker before then. =P Now I do! ha! And I'm not bad at it either. ;)

Ok, I'll mention one more thing about the cloths I bought! The pants....they're cords! Ha ha! I love em...but anyways, I was just going to say...um...I went to get the car charger out of Caleb's truck...and when I was running back they were chirping! Ha ha ha! I though it was funny, cause you here people making fun of them on tv and stuff. So it tickled me when I was comeing back and I heard this *chirp chirp* with every stride. =P Anyway...enough about that....

So...there's a lot of talk about a bunch of you guys trying out for American Idol...but no one ever anwered and said if I could come along! What's the deal!? Am I not good enough!? I see how it is....you're only friends with me cause of my cool stuff....my cool stuff and my boyish good looks. That's all it is. Some friends! *sob* Ha ha ha!....as you can see I'm still a little worn out from that 15 hour train trip! Ha ha! So I'm going to go to bed....

Until next time!

2006-03-13T12:37:00.000-08:00

Well it's officialy spring break...and I actually got to sleep in this morning! Oh my word...it was so nice. It was the first day in two months. =P Cause lately with school, work and church...I had to get up at the same time everysingle day! It was getting really old. It's going to be nice to have a whole week off, from school and work. YESSSS.... But I really wish I was going to Arizona during spring break, that's what I really wanted to do, but it didn't work out. So I'm a little bummed...ok A LOT bummed. I really miss Gracie...I MISS YOU GRACIE! *sigh* I wish I could go there.

But I am going to Pasco washington to see my parents. It should be fun. I'm taking the train there tonight...should be around 3:30 ish. I just called and my train is running late. So I should be there about 5:30ish in the morning tomorrow. Yeah I know...it's a long trip! =P 3:00pm. to 5:30am. *ugh* I might get a tan while I'm there though! =P They say it's like summer there! So yeah hopefully I will get a tan cause I'm tired of being Pauly the friendly ghost. =P Anyways...I've got a pizza in the oven, I better go check on it. And make sure I have everything packed. Oh...and you probably won't here from me much, since they don't have a computer there. I know you all will miss me. ;)

Gotta run!

So here's what's going down since you've last heard from me. My parents are gone...yup...I'm a bachelor for a couple months! Dad took a job in Pasco Wa. for a little extra money. Mom went with him. So yeah...I've been living the bachelor life for a while now. My main diet consists of the three main food groups....Frozen Pizza, Mountain Dew, and COOKIES! Uh-huh...sounds great doesn't it? Yeah I know, it's a beautiful thing.

So yeah anyways, I skipped work on Saturday to go snowboarding! Oh man was it fun. Ok don't worry I didn't just skip though...I had someone work for me. =) I'm not that bad....much. But yeah anyways, it was fun, I was taking some sick jumps! Man it was sweet! Ha ha, I still have a headache from one of my wrecks though. *ugh* It kinda hurt. =P

Hey ppl! I know it's been a long time since I've written on this thing....I've been lazy, I didn't feel like writing. =P But I'm writing now! I'm not sure what about yet, but I'm sure it will come to me as I write. =)

I went sledding today! You should have been there Gracie, I know you would have enjoyed it. We were going crazy though! We were making big long trains and wiping out, sending snow flying, tumbling all the way down the hill. It was lots of fun.

Hmm...well I guess I was wrong...nothing is coming to me! =P Alright...well I guess I'll just quit tryin...cause there's nothing coming. I'll write more some other time. See ya.

Singin OHHH HOOOO!

2006-02-20T17:18:00.000-08:00

Hey ppl! What's going on in blogworld today??? Nothing?? Well I beg to differ! Ok maybe there is nothing going on, but I'm going to try and pretend that there IS something going on! Is that ok with everyone?? Huh? Ok then. =)

So hey, did I tell you that I went ice skating again? No I don't think I did. Well I left my mark in blood again...yeah...I was bleeding all over the place. Only this time it moved up to my hand. I was jumping over the side wall to get the hacky sack that we were playing keep away with, and I did that just fine, but when I was trying to get it another guy jumped over and we were in a tustle over it, and somewhere in there there was a big gouge taken out of the side of my thumb! Yeah it kinda hurt, and it wouldn't stop bleeding. So I was skating around sucking on my thumb...hmm...that musta looked a little strange huh? Anyways..yeah, I think I drank like a cup full of my own blood that night. SICK!

OH OH! I forgot to say that Saturday was Noelle's birthday! Yeah she turned 8. =) Man she's growing up so fast. *sigh* it seems like just yesterday she was 3. Yeah she had a good birthday. And I wore her little crown party hats that she had..of coarse. If I get a chance I'll post some pictures of it. =)

What's the deal with my brain why am I so obviously insane!?....anywho....So today was president's day...and I worked...shocker huh!? Yeah...I worked. I was off of school so I figured I would make a few extra bucks and work all day instead. =P yippee.

Ok! I'm going to get off here now.....It's almost time for me to call Gracie! WOO! I can't wait. I haven't talked to her in a long time. =) I'm excited.

I'm going to make like a tree and ....GO! ;)

Hm...well I don't hear anyone. Anyways...man that ham smells good!

Happy Valentines Day every body!

2006-02-14T08:46:00.000-08:00

Hey! Man it's been like a week since my last post. I'm a slacker I know. =P But hey I'm here now, and I'm posting, are you happy!? =)

Anyways, it's Valentines Day! Love is in the air...people walking around in a daze because they just got shot with cupid's arrow...flowers, chocolates, cards....guys running franticaly into the grocery store at the last minute to buy gifts! *sigh* Yes...how romantic. lol Well I have to say it's the truth! I went to the store this morning before coming to school, I was buying a flower and card for my little sister...and there were all these guys in there just now getting stuff for their wives and girlfreinds! They were everywhere! You could see it in their faces that they were almost in a panic looking for something to get their honey...cause they waited untill Valentines day morning to finally go out there and get something! Ha! What is it with men?? Why do we procrastinate?? Who knows...I don't. But yeah! anyways....

Happy Valentines Day everyone! Especially to my valentine. ;) I wish you were here!

Hey I got this cool new box that I'm going to use for skateboarding! Yeah, in my carpentry class we built these little half house things, they look like bus stops for midgets. =P But anyways, it was for a framing exercise, and we tore them apart yesterday to make room for the next project. But when we tore the walls off, the floor was still there, and it's this perfect 4 foot by 2 1/2 foot box! It's perfect for skateboarding! I'm going to make a rail in my welding class to put on it so I can grind. yeah it's going to be sweet. =) I was excited.

So anyways, I have to get outa here, I have a paper to write.

until next time!

Not bad

2006-02-07T10:45:00.000-08:00

Well here's the results for my essay....I got a B! *sigh* Not bad I guess. But I would have liked to get an A. But the teacher gives us a chance to revise for a better grade. I think I'm going to do that. The main problem with my paper he said was that it's too long. I wrote four pages, it was supposed to be like a three page at the most. =P *oops* So he said that if I can shorten it that I would probably raise it a whole letter grade! He said other than the length that it was really good. So... yeah. If you care! =)

2006-02-07T05:54:00.000-08:00

It's about 6:54am right now, I'm kind of questioning myself on why I'm up so early. I always get up earlier than I need to, I like to have plenty of time to take a shower, get dressed, read my Bible, and then if I have time check my e-mail. But it seems like today I think I got up a little too early. I have to go to work at 7:30 so I can do the fork lift training thing, and I got up around 6:00. Ha ha, I guess I could have slept a little longer than that huh? I tell ya, when I first climbed out of bed and shut off that alarm, oh man...I was so tired, my bed was calling my name. It was SO inviting! It was saying "forget about all the things you have to do today, just come back to bed....sleeeep....you know you want to" And I did want to! I was so tired, I was up till after midnight last night. And I was tempted just to go back to bed. But I didn't, I was a good boy and continued getting ready. *sigh* I want somemore sleep though. =P

Alright well...today is the day when I get the grade for my paper that I told you about....well I don't know if you guys remember...I'm sure Gracie does. ;) But yeah, today is when I finally get back that paper! And I'll see how I did. I hope I got a good grade, cause I worked hard on that paper! And I enjoyed writing it....ha for like the first time in my life I actually enjoyed writing a paper! Amazing huh? Well with the exception of the time that I wrote about Converse for a paper about inovation and creativity. That was fun, I leared a lot about the history of my shoes!

Whoa! I better go start the car....I want it to be warm when I leave!.....brb.....Ok I'm back! Ha ha, the car was all covered in frost! Brrrr.....*shiver* It was stinkin cold out there!

But yeah anyways....um...what else can I tell ya?? Um...OH hey! I felt the baby kick last night! Mandie said that she was moving all over the place in there, so she had me feel....it's not real noticable yet, just a slight feeling under your hand. But isn't that exciting!? Pretty soon we'll be able to really feel it good!

Oh hey, you know this song I have on here right now....by yellow card? Well I've always liked the band, but one thing that I just found out by watching some of their videos...is they have a violin player! Isn't that cool Grace!? I though that was really cool. I saw a live video, and he was all jumping around along with all the guys on guitars, it was awesome. So I've decided if I ever, get my band started...my dream come true.....I'm going to have a violin! Cause it really sounds good! And it's just plain cool. =)

Anyways...I think this post is long enough. See ya!

Blood on the rocks

2006-02-06T16:51:00.000-08:00

So I went Ice skating with some freinds last Friday. It was fun...we made to teams and played keep away with one of the guy's hocky gloves! I kinda surprised myself, I'm a pretty good skater, I mean I'm not professional or anything, but I'm pretty good. I had a really good time, we were skating like crazy people out there! It was great, I left a big blood streak on the ice! Ha ha! It was funny, I skinned my knee open. =P My pants were covered in blood. I'm going to go again either Wednesday or Friday, or both. =)

Ahh...well I'm going to have to cut this one short guys, there is some cheese in the kitchen with my name on it! Mom needs me to grait (sp) it for her. Tacos! WOO! I'm out like the 80's.

Paul

And the winner is....

2006-02-05T19:13:00.000-08:00

Well it's over....and the winner of the Superbowl is......THE REFS! Yes that's what I said the refs won the game. They handed the Steelers the game on a silver platter. And anyone who watched the game whether you're a Steelers for fan or a Seattle fan should see that. And I'm not upset or anything, but I am dissapointed, the Seahawks pretty much dominated the field, but the refs made horrible calls that took the game from them! It's really sad. I'm very dissapointed. That's all I have to say about that.

Paul

30 years in the making...

2006-02-05T11:31:00.000-08:00

It is now Superbowl Sunday....all football fans wait for this day all year long. Watching all the games of their favorite teams in hopes that they will prove that they are good enough to make it to that fateful game. For forty years the Superbowl has made legends of teams, and given fans all over the country the right to brag over their home teams. And now today after thirty years in the making...my dad's team that he has watched and cheered for his whole life, and been let down over and over again, and I have watched since I was little following my dads example....The Seattle Seahawks have finally proved that they are good enough to make it to the battle between dynasties that we call the Superbowl! Now that bragging right has been given to us, cause our Seahawks have made it! All the years of cheering for the Seahawks, and having faith that one day they would make it has paid off. They're finally here....GO SEAHAWKS!

Paul

Got any change??

2006-02-03T10:40:00.000-08:00

Hey! I decided to try my hand at the color changing thing, I was getting bored with my blog. =P So now I just need some comments! What do you guys think? Did I do good, or is it....blahish?

Gotta run!

Standby...

2006-02-02T20:01:00.000-08:00

Ok here's the most exciting thing that's happening right now. As some of you know...I think you all know...?? Anyways, if you didn't know, I'm gonna be an Uncle!! And we found out that it's a girl! I think they decided on Emily May Alexander. I'm excited! Mandie is due toward the end of June I beleive. But yeah...*sigh* I'm happy. =) We watched the ultra sound video last night, it was great the baby was all moving around, and we saw her face and her hands and feet and everything! It was awesome. You guys should see it.

You know, I was thinking today...actually...this past week. I need to get back on my skateboard! I haven't skated in like four or five months! That's crazy. It's been since I moved here, because of winter...and work and everything. But I think I'm going start up again. Ha ha, I know Gracie is real happy about that! Ha ha, she worries enough about me, now I want to through on another thing that can maim or kill me! He he. Oh...and I'm going to start trying to practice my guitar more....and I'm going to start working out again....and jogging....man, I've got a full plate huh!? Good greif, as if I'm not busy enough! I have to keep adding to it. =P Ha ha! But that's ok, I need to get into shape, and I need to get better on my guitar...and the skateboarding...well, that's just for fun! =) And adrenalin! WOO!

Ok... now without further adieu.....HEEER'S PAULY!! *croud goes wild* *screaming* Thankyou thankyou....it's time for the part of the blog that we all look forward to......THE END! hee hee.

Until next time!
Paul ;)

Check it!

2006-01-31T08:10:00.000-08:00

Ok here's the dealio! I'm sitting here in my English class, I finished up my paper I told you I was going to write, and I'm going to turn it in today! In about....15 minutes! I hope I get a good grade on it! As soon as I find out I'll tell you. =) Which won't be any time soon unfortunately. It'll probably be sometime later on this week. I might see if I can post my paper on here, or that might be too long I don't know. It is four pages long you know! Ha! I'm kinda nervous though, I hope I get a good grade. Wish me luck!

We went to Great Falls yesterday, I had a dentist appointment. Yet another thing I haven't told Gracie, sorry babe! =) Anyways....ha ha! While I was down there I had to wait for dad to come back and get me, so I wondered into the pet store right across the parking lot. While I was in there I went and looked at their kittens. They had a new litter, they were all little orange striped ones! They were cute. She said they were going to charge 50 dollars for them when they got all their shots. I told her I probably wouldn't be able to afford one. That's when dad came and I left. Then when we were in the mall, I ran into her at JC penny's! She said if I came in today that she would give me one for a lot cheaper. I'm tempted, I might just go and see how much she would give me one for. If you don't know this already, I really like cats! I'm a cat person, I don't know why, I think I take after my papa Horton, he's a cat person. I really want one of those kittens I saw there! They were great. I know what Gracie is thinking, she doesn't like cat's, I think she thinks they're evil. =P But if I got one I wouldn't turn it into a psycho cat, I would be gentle with it, so it would be nice. I wouldn't want it tearing up my little sister! =P

Anyways, the teacher just got here so I gotta go. See ya!

Where did everybody go!?

2006-01-29T20:39:00.000-08:00

I have a question? Where did everyone go in blog world!? There's only a few people that post anymore! The main ones are Gracie, and Megan. And I don't think anybody goes around and reads anybody else's blogs anymore....except Gracie. =P I try, I don't always comment on all the blogs cause I'm always in a hurry, but I do read your blogs I promise! So that's my question to you guys....WHERE ARE YOU!? Especially Josh he just dissapeared, what's up JAG? I need you man! *sigh* Am I alone here in this crazy blog universe?

Alright that's enough rambling from me for now. VOTE FOR PEDRO! Ha! I haven't said that in a long time!

Anyways, I'm out like the 80's!

Man I am just so....blahish right now! If you know what I mean. *sigh* If you haven't guessed already...yes I miss Gracie! Ah! I can admit it, I'm not ashamed! But no seriously, I really do. I miss you Grace!

Well...I won't bore you guys with my heart ache. =P

I got my job back...yeah they called me they want me to come back and work part time while I go to school. I figured I better because I'm running short on money, and I need to save up for BTI, and the camps and the Assembly and everything. So yeah...I need money! So needless to say I'm going to be really busy from now on! I'll be going to school all day, then I'll come home and work the rest of the night! And on Saturday. =S Oh well that means money! And money is good, cause I can't do anything without it.

Anyways I have some company that just got here, so I better go and be a good host. =P Gotta run!

Shredding!

2006-01-23T10:39:00.000-08:00

Hey! Remember how I told you that I was going to look into snowboarding?? Well I went on Saturday! Oh man I had a blast! I was totally shredding up the mountain guys...it was flippin sweet. The great thing about snowboarding, is that you get so much better with everytime you go! So I'm starting to get really good! I only wrecked maybe two or three times. And I was taking black diomands and everything. I even took some wicked sweet jumps! Oh man I can't tell you how much fun I had...hopefully I can go again soon. =) It was pretty cheap here too, it was only 15 dollars for an all day lift ticket for students. The expensive part was renting the snowboard, which was like $27 or something. That was a rip off...I used to rent in Whitefish for $15. But it was fun none the less! Um...anyways, I better go, my next class starts in less than 15 minutes! Gotta run!

2006-01-20T14:36:00.000-08:00

Hey guess what!? I'm gonna go ice skating tonight! I'm excited, I haven't gone in a long time. =) Well I guess, it's been since...um...last year. In Kalispell, it's probably been longer than that for some of you. Hey Gracie, you wanna come with!? It would be fun. =) I think I'm going to check into renting a snowboard this weekend to. It's been way too long since I've gone snowboarding! I love it. We've gotten some fresh snow lately, so it's real nice.

Hmm...well that's about all I have for you today. Sorry it's not very long, I just don't have much to write about today. Boy remember when I first started this blogging thing, I used to be able to write really long posts, like everyday! But now...I can't write very long ones, let alone everyday! Oh well. When anything exciting happens I'll let you know!

See ya!

I'm an addict!

2006-01-19T09:57:00.000-08:00

*sigh* It's true...have you heard the rumors? I'm now a watcher of American Idol...isn't that sad!? Me...watching American Idol!? Ha ha, no it's not that bad of a show once you give it a chance, it's pretty interesting. =P I watched the show last night, and there were some pretty...um...ha, interesting people on there. One guy I just wanted to punch in the face! Just for being so dumb. His "name" was Flawless...yeah, he was a white guy, wearing shorts, shirt, and hat that were all made out of the same material. It was...retarted, to borrow Gracie's word. Ha! It's her fault that I'm watching the show now! That's what comes with having a girlfriend...you start doing things you never thought you would before. =P

Anyways, enough about that...I'm sitting here at school. Lot's of fun eh? Yeah I just got done with English class. I'm supposed to write a paper on a remembered event, I'm actully looking forward to writeing it! I'm going to write it on something that happened to me a while back, a time that I thought I was going to get the crud beat out of me! Ha! When I'm finished I'll see if I can post it on here, if you guys are interested in reading it. =)

I should probably be doing my homework right now, instead I'm goofing off on the computer. =P I'll probably go here soon, after I'm done posting. Maybe. =P

Whoa! Ok...I've run out of things to talk about guys! Man I'm so boring! Just ask Gracie she'll tell you. She's always telling me "Paul, you are so boring! Why don't you do something exciting." Yeah it's pretty sad. You should have seen me at their house, "what do you want to do paul?" "I dunno..." Sitting on the couch like a lump on a log. Yeah everyone that knows me, knows how much of an old fuddy duddy I am. He he.

Strangers in the night!! Oh yes, I'm listening to Franky right now...Dooby dooby doo! ;) Ok, I'm gonna go now! I'm just rambling. See ya guys!

Have I told you that I'm in love?? Yes yes...I know it's hard to believe huh? Well it's true, she's been there with me through thick and thin, always bringing me new inspiration. Always there to bring me comfort when I'm feeling down. She survived a wreck a while back, and I'm so thankfull, because I would be lost without her! Everytime I'm feeling a little blue, I just...pull her out of the case, and I start playing away! Uh...yeah I'm talking about my guitar...what did you think? I love that guitar. =)

knocking at the door

2006-01-12T12:35:00.000-08:00

So here I am in between classes...just jamming to some All American Rejects at the moment. =) I don't really have anything else to do so I figured I might as well post something! I don't want you guys to get bored with me. =P I think a lot of you already have, cause I don't have nearly as many readers as I used to. But that's ok! I don't expect you guys to read my blog everyday, I mean I don't even post everyday! Anyways...

I had to go to the store and buy some welding stuff today. One of my classes is intro to welding and cutting. I think it's going to be really interesting. I mean hey...I get to hold a torch putting out emmense amount's of heat...enough to cut through metal! How much better could it get! Fire and metal, it's a beautiful thing. =) But I also have a writing class, I'm not looking forward to that one as much. I did the first day of that today. I already had to write some stuff, just like right there on the spot at our computers we had write! The first thing we had to write was a paragraph about a time when writing was important to us. And the next thing we had to do was meat someone in the class, find out a bunch of things about them, and then write a pretend letter to one of our family members telling them about the person we just met! I think I did ok..=P But that one we actually had to print out and leave it there with the teacher, so I don't know what's going to happen with that.

I keep running into people I know at school, that's kinda cool, that way I don't feel like I'm all alone and don't know anyone! So I'm glad I know some people!

Oh! Another thing that I have to do that's kind of funny is, in my music theory class we're learning a little bit about condutors. And we have to practice waving our hands in the air! Ha ha! You know there's more to that than you might think! You have to do the different patterns for all the different beats and everything, it's kind of comical, you should see me over here waving my hands around. It's great. =)

Alright...well I'm gonna get out of here. I think I'm going to run up to the lumber store and check out this part time job they have. And I have look at saw horses! Cause I have to build one in class. =P See ya guys!

High five!

2006-01-10T14:11:00.000-08:00

Hey did I tell you what Gracie gave me for Christmas?? She gave me the biggest kiss I've ever had in my life! WOO! Oh yeah, it's pretty much the best present of all time. ;)

So today I went to student orientation, yep....I'm all ready for school, and classes start tomorrow! I bought all my books and everything today, so I'm all good. =) I'm kind of excited. I don't if I'm as excited as Gracie was to start school again...but...I'm probably as excited as any body else would get about school. =P I think my first class is my elective, which is music theory. That's the one I'm looking forward to the most. I love music! So I'm excited to actually be able to read music. Then after this, next semester I'm going to take applied music, and I'm going to learn how to play piano hopefully! If not piano I'll do some guitar if they have it, I already know how to play, but you can never stop improving.

Mom's finally taking down the Christmas tree in our house. =P It's been dead since before Christmas I think! Ha ha! But yeah....fun stuff.

Ooh! I saw a cool pin in the book store at the college that I think I'm going to buy tomorrow when I have more time. It was a pin with a picture of Frank Sinatra on it...and it said "it's Sinatra's world...we just live in it" ha ha! Isn't that great?! If you don't know me very well, I'm a bug Sinatra fan! So I definitely have to buy that one. =) Speaking of Sinatra...I bought this sweet brown corduroy fedora on Sunday! I's totally flippin sweet! I'll see if I can't get a picture on here sometime. =)

Anyways, I'm about starved to death! I'm out like the 80's!

LEX ;)

Oh by the way...if you haven't guessed already, the kiss she gave me...was chocolate. ;) It was the worlds biggest chocolate kiss! I mean huge! I loved it. =) Thanks again Gracie.

pictures!!

2006-01-09T10:37:00.000-08:00

Here's Thomas at the park! I miss him.

Here's Gracie and me at the park! We were getting some shade at the moment. =)

Here's Gracie and me at home, in the Coca Cola kitchen!
This is Megan at the park, I don't know what happened, but the picture got a weird color when I scanned it.

I LOVE this picture! Isn't she just beautiful? Man I miss her!
Here's us at home again, And Flip half way in the picture. =P
Here's Jake and flip! I'm not any influence on them at all am I? ;)

I have some more pictures too, I'll see if I can put some more on later. I had one of Sara, but I didn't think she would like for me to put it on here. =P It didn't turn out so good. But yeah there you go, enjoy!

Pauly

Home again

2006-01-09T09:40:00.000-08:00

Hey everybody,

I'm home again! Unfortunately. =P No, it is nice to be home after traveling, but I would rather that I never traveled from Az. in the first place! ha ha! I've only been gone one day but it seems like it's been forever since I've seen Gracie already. I miss her. Now I just have to pray that we both make it to BTI, that way we can see each other in four months...*ugh* four months though, that's a long time! It would have been eight, but we cut that in half when I went last week, so it's all good!

Boy we had a lot of fun while I was there! We didn't do a whole lot of anything special, but we played games and watched movies. Played outside. We just goofed off and had fun. =) We walked to the park on the last full day that I was there, and we played hot lava monster with all the kids. =D It was fun. I watched the video that I took while I was there with my parents last night. Oh speaking of which...I have some pictures that I got developed that I'm going to put on here soon!

Alright well I'm going to go and get those pictures and start scanning! Then I'll post em. =)

Meat balls

2005-12-28T17:04:00.000-08:00

Hey hey hey!

Did I mention that I'm going to see Gracie in FOUR DAYS! Oh man I'm so excited. Those four days can't go by quick enough. =)

Sorry I don't really have anything else to write about! Ha! That's the only exciting thing that's happening at the moment. I don't have a whole lot of time on my hands to do anything crazy or exciting. So when I go to Grace's house I'll have to let out all the crazy stunts I've missed out on doing for 4 months! He he he. ;)

Wow, yesterday...I worked like 14 hours! Man isn't that crazy? We left the warehouse at like 7:30am and didn't get back till 9:30pm. Ha, I was exhausted. But it was ok, at least I got out of the warehouse all day!

OH hey, I thought of something I never told you guys! Last Wednesday I went with some freinds to the park. We grabbed a couple of little footballs, and we played some capture the flag...er..ball. =P Man it was fun! I did so much running! I found that I'm actually pretty fast for being so out of shape ha ha! I could out run most of them, except for one because he does track. =P I'm actually still a little sore in the legs, I didn't stretch out afterwards, that wasn't smart. And all the lifting I do at the store, my legs just stayed sore like the whole week! But it was worth it, it was really fun. You guys should have been there!

Anyways, I guess I'll get out of here, I'm about starved to death here! Ha ha!

Alley 42...

2005-12-16T17:24:00.000-08:00

What's up guys!? Man I think it's been too long since I've posted on this thing. =P Part of it is because a couple days ago my computer monitor fried! Yeah it was terrible, it smelled like something was burning in there, yeah so I couldn't use my computer for a while. Have you guys missed me?!

So...anyways! Guess what??? I...Paul Alexander, am going to Arizona to see Gracie in about two weeks! I'm really excited, I haven't seen her in....about four months. I've missed her! So yeah I'm ready to go. I can't wait to get there, we're going to have a lot of fun. =) I'm going to be there for a week, I don't know if I'll be doing very much posting...if any...while I'm there, I'll be busy! Ha ha, but I'll try. =)

Let's see what can I tell you...?? Have you guys heard the Relient k Christmas album? Well if you have then you've heard the song "I celebrate the day". Well I've been teaching myself that song on the piano! I've never played anything on the piano...I don't really know how to play the piano...but it sounds pretty good I think! The only thing I ever really knew how to play was a little bit of...um...what was it Micah? The something symphony in D minor or something...=P Ha! I can't remember, but Micah showed me if you haven't guessed.

Speaking of Micah, you and Isaiah should come over here sometime! SOON! There's a little ski area here in Havre, it's not very big but it's cheap! Big enough to snowboard. It would be a blast, I haven't gotten to go up there, but I plan on going as soon as I can. I'm not sure if it's open though. But yeah you guys should come! And you should bring your new snowboard Micah!

Today I told my "coworker" Jeff the name to my blog so he could come look at it...so if you're reading this right now...HI JEFF! Remember..."PG" =) Ha ha.

Alright, well I can't really think of anything to say now....so I'm gonna get off now!

I'm out like the 80's!

Pauly

Apologies

2005-12-08T06:32:00.000-08:00

Hey everybody, I was informed by someone that the song that I had on here had a few curse words in it that I didn't here. I got it off as soon as I found out. But for that I have to apologize, I'm sorry that I had that on my blog everyone! Can you forgive me? =) I will have some differant music on there shortly, but next time I'll be a little more careful.

Paul

For Gracie...

2005-12-05T20:53:00.000-08:00

Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about One Another

1. If you were to choose a new name for yourself, what would it be? Um...I really like my name. So...um. I don't know...

2. If you were given an extra $10 in change at Walmart, what would you do with it and why? I would give it back.

3. What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned from your past relationships? "Other than Paul I haven't been in any relationship. I've prayed a lot about who my first boyfriend would be. I wanted to make sure it was God's will for me to date, not me. Just do a lot of praying and make sure you're totally in the Lord's will before you do anything." This is me now....DIDDO! Good answer Grace, I couldn't have said it better myself. =P

4. What’s one of your worst habits? Uh...I've been drinking way too much soda lately.

5. What was the best day of the past week for you - why? I don't know, they all kinda ran together...because I worked all last week and over the weekend! But I can tell you the best days were when I got to talk to Gracie on the phone. =)

6. What are you wearing today which is most reflective of who you are? Um...I guess it would be my watch, you guys have all seen my watch right? Yeah...I don't think I have to say anymore. =P

7. Choose a unique item from your wallet and explain why you carry it around. I have Sam Kaufmans business card...but that's not why it's unique. One night at church we had a service where we talked about heros, and the characteristics they have...I wrote down all those on the back of that card that night. Cause my sister looks up to me...and I want to be a good example for her.

8. If you could change one thing about your physical appearance what would it be and why? I don't know about you guys, but Gracie really got me interested in what she was thinking. ;) Um..ha ha, uh I don't know. =P I'd rather not answer this one.

9. Share one of your most embarrassing moments. Ha ha! I walked right into the womens bathroom in the college in Kalispell once. =P

10. If you were given a million dollars and 24 hours to spend it in, (no depositing it in the bank or investing it) what would you buy? Like Gracie said, I would definitely pay tithes first! Then I would buy a brand new 2005 mustang Gt metalic blue! Oh yeah.

If you want to destroy my sweater...

2005-12-03T17:35:00.000-08:00

I just want to give a big shout out to Denise! Thankyou Denise you helped me get some music going on my blog! Woo! You are awesome. =)

Hey guys, what do ya think?? I added some tunes, did a little face lift...it was time for some change I thought. =) Took me long enough though....GOSH!

Um...Gracie, I wanted to comment on your blog today, but for some reason it wouldn't let me! I kept typing in that stupid word verification, but it was saying I didn't type in the right letters....which I was! I don't get it. But I thought I would let you know...it was frustrating.

Ok well I don't really have anything to write about right now...so I'm gonna jet! Talk to ya later guys! Enjoy the tunes. ;)

Anyways...I guess I'll get out of here! Talk to you all later. Remember kids...take candy from strangers, and always except rides from people you don't know!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

"No hair for my hair brush.....no haaair oh my hair brush"

2005-11-12T05:10:00.000-08:00

Hey! I figured I might as well show you guys my shaved head. =P I let the guys do it to me the other night. I don't know why, I guess just because I've never done it before. =P So yeah...here's a picture, not a very good one but a picture none the less!

Caution...this next scene could get pretty graphic!

2005-11-02T20:27:00.000-08:00

Hey guys...seriously if you have a weak stomach... you don't really want to look at this! ha! Tonight I was running to help out some other guys with carrying some tables, when out of nowhere came a little kid right in my way! I jumped to the side trying to dodge him, which I did succesfully get around...but...I also went flying off of the three foot wall I was running next to! Needless to say it wasn't a pretty landing. =P I came to a sliding halt on the pavement and gravel...on my knee! Here is the aftermath of it all....

Yes that is a huge rip in my jeans there...these are the same jeans I ripped at BTI while skateboarding down that hill! It looks worse in real life, I couldn't capture a very good image with our computer camera. There is actually skin balled up and hanging from the wound where it got peeled away, you can't really see that! Ha! Well I better go get in the shower and clean all the gravel out of this, see ya later!

Paul

Jeep!

2005-10-21T23:21:00.000-07:00

Hey! Did I tell you guys that I finally got the Jeep?! Yeah well...I guess it was like a week ago, but yeah I have it, it's mine! I've been driving it to work everyday...how fun right? =P I know I need to take it offroading or something. Hey JAG you need to bring your Jeep over then we can go together! That would rule! Anyways..yeah I'll try and get a picture or something on here soon. I think I'll go buy a disposable camera tomorrow...just for that purpose. =) I don't know what I'll do with the rest of the pictures, but I'll figure something out!

Alright well that's all for now! See ya!

~lucky~

Hey people!

2005-10-19T18:21:00.000-07:00

Hey everybody! What's goin down ya'll...ok that was dumb. I should be shot. =P

Anyways...nothing going on here really, I just figured I better write something since I haven't in a while. I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to write yet to tell you the truth. We'll see what happens as I go along. =P

Right now I'm at Mandie's doing some laundry...yes I do my own laundry. Isn't it great. =D Yep I've been doing it for years now! I'm a vetran. Ha! I'm sure there are some things I could learn, but hey, there are some things we could all learn right?? Speaking of laundry, I need to buy some socks. I'm sure you've all noticed how socks just seem to disapear...yeah...where do they all go!? I have no idea. You stick them in the dryer and it's like a portal to some other dimension...the mismatched socks dimention! That's where they all go, I'm sure of it, it's a conspiricy. Dryers are made that way by companie's so that you have to buy more socks...I'm sure more socks are bought every year than any other article of clothing. Ha!

Anyways...enough about socks...how bout those t-shirts! Ha ha, kidding. =P

"A zesty partner is a big help in your efforts to get ahead." I just thought I would throw that out there. It's from the cap of one of my Jones soda's! Fufu berry. That is so good! I love Jones soda, it's the best. Isn't that right "monkey" and "Jag"? ;P Remember our night on the town!? Ha! That was great.

So...=P Yeah, um...life is kinda boring right now...is anyone else having that problem? There's like nothing exciting going on at all! No conventions, camps, or Assembly to go to for a while. It's all pretty much just work...and laundry. =P Not much fun. I have the urge to go on another trip somewhere! If only I didn't have to work full time. I know exactly where I would go...

Hmm...well guys...I think I'm out of stuff to ramble about! Well I guess I'll just get off of here then. See ya guys!

Paul

2005-10-15T21:36:00.000-07:00

sigh I am tired!

2005-10-09T14:42:00.000-07:00

Hey ppl, I know I know....it's been forever since I've written in my blog. I had a few people tell me so when I went over to Whitefish. =P So here you go guys, this is for you! Sam I know you're reading, even though you can't comment. =) But thanks for reading my blog anyways!

Ok, let me catch you guys up on what's been going down around here. Alright...so I left for Whitefish on Friday night to finish moving all of our stuff over here to Havre Mt. But my train was late by 4 hours, so I didn't even get to Whitefish untill 1:30 in the morning! We had to get up that same morning at like 7:30ish, mom let me sleep in a little...I appreciated that. Thanks mom! Then Dave came with the Budget truck and we started packing it up with all the house stuff, which wasn't too bad, and I was actually kinda proud of the job I did at fitting all the boxes in there nice and tight. Then....we had to do the Garage and shed stuff...*ugh* that wasn't fun. A lot of loose stuff, that we basically had to just pile into the space that we had left in the truck. So the whole opporation took us like 8 hours I beleive. But we did have a lot of help! So I'll take this opportunity to thank all the people over there in the Flathead Valley.. Jacob and Rebeckah(sorry if I spelled that wrong. =P) Sam and Tammy, Josh, Nattalie, all the kids, and esspecially Dave and Melissa for driving all the way over here and unpacking with us too. Thanks a lot you guys, I love you all very much! And I miss you already. =)

Oh while we were over there I got to see my girl...er...my other girl(sorry Gracie ;) ) I got to see Alana! Ahh! She loves me you know. =) I think she missed me while I was gone, ha, I missed her! It was always fun to go to church and see her come running up to meet me there. I will miss her.

Hey! I'm going to buy a Jeep Wagoneer somtime this week! Yeah I'm buying it from a guy for $500 dollars. And it's in pretty good shape too, and it runs good. I'm excited! It has a big engine in it too. He he he. And a bench seat in front. ;) I'm going to buy it if it's still there when I call, cause there was another person he said that was interested, and he said basically that the first person to give that 500 was the person driving away with it. =P So yeah...let's hope it all works out, I'm tired of riding my bike to work! Ha ha!

Well I think that's about it guys, I'll try and write more when I can. I know it seems like I never post! But I'm trying. =P I'm just a busy guy! Alright, well I'm gonna get outta here!

~Bruce~

Confusion!

2005-09-26T22:54:00.000-07:00

I think there is some confusion on the rules of football...I wrote in my last blog entry that the reff didn't call a "foul" and I was quesioned! Just to clear things up...there are fouls in football, a foul is any violation of playing rules. A penalty is the consequences for the foul. Such as "holding" get's a penalty of 5 yards. Holding is a foul, because it's against the rules of the NFL. So um...yeah. There you go! You can look it up if you don't believe me. =)

Pauly

Bored

2005-09-24T10:51:00.000-07:00

Hey everybody! I know I know, I don't write in this thing like I should. But what do you expect I work full time, so I don't really have a whole lot of time on my hands. =P Yesterday I ended up working 11 1/2 hours! Which doesn't really bother me, cause that means overtime baby. =D But I was pretty tired. I work at a Valley Funiture now, for those of you that don't know. I'm a warhouse and delivery guy. It's pretty hard work actually, some of those "sofas" are really heavy! Ha ha! And not to mention all the other bedroom furniture, like dressers and things like that. But I don't mind, I like the hard work! Builds muscle. =)

Anyways like my title says, I am really bored! It's Saturday, and there is absolutely nothing to do!! Gosh! And nobody is writing me, well except for flip today...thanks flip. ;) You know I really miss all you guys down there in Arizona! It feels like my second home. I miss all you guys from BTI and the Assembly to! I wish we could all just get together for the fun of it. Don't you guys think that would be great!? Man that would rule. =) I know how about all you guys just come over here to Montana!? how does that sound? I could take you all to Glacier Park...it's really beautiful in the fall! You would love it Gracie! So what do ya say...you guys ready? =D

Oh we went to the highschool football game lastnight! Go Blue Ponies!! Woo!! Oh yeah we won 27 to 10 or something like that. =P But man it was a good game! Ahh! I had so much fun. =) There were like three or four injuries though, one of our guys they had to take out in an ambulance with a concusion! It was a late hit, I don't know why they didn't call a foul. Stupid reffs were blind! Ha ha.

Hey you guys want to hear a joke...no? Too bad! Ha ha...here goes....Why do fish live in salt water?? Because pepper makes them sneeze! Ha ha ha ha...sorry, I've been eating laffy taffy, and yeah the jokes are pretty stupid, but I like to laugh at them anyways. =P

Well um...I've kind of ran out of things to say! I hope you guys are having a lot more of an exciting day than I am! Alright well I guess I'll stop talking now....*sigh* Someone write me!! Please? Pretty please...*puppy dog eyes* Oh hey Sara did write me, I think it was yesterday, I answered it today though. Hmm.. but I could use some mail! So if your reading this...get off of here and go write me k? Thanks. =P

Miss you guys!

Pauly

I'm back!!

2005-09-17T13:58:00.000-07:00

Did ya miss me?!

Yeah ok here's how the story goes.... Mandie was drinking a can of coke, and she didn't finish it all, and she forgot it on the computer table. And she saw it again later and thought that she should get it off of there but she didn't, for reasons beyond me...but anyways! So then Caleb comes home from work and in the dark carelessy throws his hat on the computer desk knocking the half full can of coke onto the key board! Ahh! Yeah so needless to say it fried the key board, which left me interetless (like that word? =) ) for the last week! So that's the reason why nobody has heard from me in a while! But I went out and bought a cheap key board myself today, since Caleb and Mandie didn't seem that desperate to buy one...I don't think they really do much on the internet, eccept Caleb, he plays games on here all the time.

But anyways...yeah. Hey ppl! Um.. I've been doing a lot of catching up with my e-mail today...a lot of typing...so I'm not going to write a lot right now. =P I miss you guys! I can't wait for the next event so I can see you all again.

I'm out like the 80's

2005-08-23T18:58:00.000-07:00

So here I am back in Havre Mt. My papa came to visit us and he wanted to come and see Caleb and Mandie, so we came with him! Yeah, I like it here. It's not a bad little town. =) And I enjoy seeing Caleb and Mandie cause I don't get to see them much since they've moved.

Boy, this is going to be a short one guys, I haven't done like anything since the last time I wrote! Man. Well guys... sorry but I can't think of anything to write about write now! I don't even have anything to ramble about. GOSH! What the flip is my problem!

Anyways, I guess I'll quit trying to come up with anything cause it's just not coming! Um.. well, I can't wait to see all you guys at the Assembly! It's only like a week before I leave now! Man I am SO excited. =D It's going to be great.

Hey, we were having some pretty good lightning storms here! It was cool. It reminded me of the storms we had over there in Arizona, only not as loud. And not as much rain for sure! Man we had some sweet storms over there, it was monsoon season! I don't know if it still is... is it still Gracie? I don't know but I really enjoyed those storms over there. I want to go back to Arizona and visit again sometime soon, but I don't know when I'll ever get to go over there again. =(

Hmm... well I guess this has turned out longer than I thought! I'm sure it's extremely boring, but hey! It's the best that I can do right now ok!? Gimme a break! And I don't mean a Kit Kat! I don't want to be percieved the way I am, I just want to be percieved the way I am! Watch that last step, it's a lulu. I'm going crazy! No...you're going sane in a crazy world! Don't cry shopgirl.

AAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!

~*crazy*~

On the edge....

2005-08-19T13:24:00.000-07:00

Ok it's been like four days since I've written on this thing! Geese! Have you guys been wondering where I've been? Or have you just been thinking, " thank goodness I haven't heard from that weirdo!" Well hopefully it wasn't the latter. =)

Anyways... I guess you might be wondering about my title "on the edge" well heres how the story goes... Well you see Micah is here, he got here on Monday. And I went with him, Jacob and Rebekah on this little outing to the Hoover Dam. Yes it was really fun! I always have a good time with Micah around. =D But anyways, we got there and we didn't stop at the Dam right off, we went to a recreation area, where we did some hiking and had a picinic. And Jacob took lots of pictures...hmm, I should have him e-mail me some to put on here...what do you think? Anyways, so then we went back to the Dam, and Micah and I, of coarse we had to climb the rock cliffs that were by the road next to the Dam! That was fun...and freaky, considering there weren't many hand or foot holds, so it was a little hard getting down. Then we went over to look over the edge of the Dam, and me being well... crazy, I climbed up on the little cement wall that keeps you from falling over. And I sat down and hung my feet over the edge! Ha ha! What a weird feeling that was to look down at my feet dangling over that drop which is like hundreds of feet! Man it was cool, I think Micah was a little nervous, he's not too partial to hights. ;) So yeah thus the title "On the edge." It was a lot of fun I must say!

Let's see what else have I don't since I last wrote on here....?? Um last night I went to Jacob and Rebekah's for Josiah's first birthday! It was fun, not only was it his first birthday, but he got his first haircut. Yep... he looks like a little Marine baby now. Ha ha! Speaking of Marines, that's what Micah looked like when we went swimming in the river afterwards! Yeah, we went swimming, in the dark, in glacier water. It was SO cold! But yeah Micah came swimming towards me, and with just his shaved head sticking out of the water he looked like some kind of Marine or something, it was funny. =) Oh and he let me borrow a pair of his camo pants to swim in, they fit me perfect, ha they fit me better than they fit him! He has to roll them up. But now, I have got to get a pair of those! I loved 'em. I need to got to the Army Navy and find a pair for me! Oh! And I think I saw a bear crossing the river when we were swimming, it was dark so I couldn't tell for sure. But it was black, and well...I don't know, but I think it was a bear. Freaky huh?

So is anybody as excited as me to got to the Assembly!? Oh my word I was thinking today, and I thought about the Assembly and how I'm going in like less than two weeks! I got SO excited! I can't wait to see everybody again. We're going to have so much fun! Man. I can't wait.

Drip....drip....drip......;)

I need a good book to read, anybody have any suggestions? I'm not sure what to read, I don't know if I really want a book to read, but... I need something to do!! And I'm sure if it's a good book I'll get into it and I won't be able to put it down. Anyways, if you have any suggestions let me know k?

Question... does anybody know the meaning of the saying "Same difference?" I don't get it.... do you know what I mean? Anyways... I'm rambling now.

Hmm... well... I guess I'll get out of here. I think I've run out of things to write. Well I'm outa here! Stay out of trouble, and if you can't do that....don't get caught!

God is good!

2005-08-15T12:25:00.000-07:00

Guess what everybody!? I am going to the Assembly! I am so excited, and I know it's all the Lords doing. Cause there was no way that I could make it, but here I am...plane ticket in hand, headed to the Assembly! God made a way, when I thought there was no way. Isn't God just amazing! I am so thankfull for God's blessings. I don't know what I would do without him, I would be lost. I want to thank Grace for her prayers! Cause I know she was praying hard for me to go. And those prayers were heard! Thank you Jesus! I know I already said it but...I am SO stinking excited! I can't wait to see all that God is going to do at there, and all the blessings he's going to poor out! Ahh! And not to mention I'm going to get to see all my friends there. I so can't wait, it's going to be like BTI all over again! Well kinda. =P

So yeah, um aside from that ( I am still excited =P) what else have I been up to. Um... let's see. Well I just got back from havre Montana, I think I said something about that didn't I? Well if I didn't, I was there helping Caleb and Mandie move into their new house. It's about four hours or so from here. It's kind of a small town. But they do have a make shift skatepark there! Oh yeah I had to hit that up you know. =) It's all like metal and fiber glass, so yeah it was kinda scary cause it wasn't really that nice. =P But I did it. I'm starting to get pretty good at dropping in pools and stuff, of coarse the didn't have a pool there, just a quarter pipe. But I was dropping in on that, it was pretty cool. Then of coarse Caleb had to try it, ha ha, he can't even skate on flat ground without wrecking. So yeah he gets up there at the top, and decides he wants to try. I'm like " Caleb, don't do it, it's harder than it looks. seriously." He says " I'm not chicken" I'm thinking " I never said you were" But he gets up there, and I give him as many pointers as I can think of. But you know I'm no expert so I don't know everything. So he just does it, and....what happens you ask...?? What do you think!? He biffs it....hard! Hits his head on the ramp, gashes his elbow open....man...it looked like it hurt. I was like "dude...I told you not to." So I rode down it a few more times, then what's he do?? He wants to try it again! ha ha! What an idiot. And he does....and he wrecks...again. Then he's done. I was like" man, you're crazy."

So yeah that's pretty much all that's been happening around here lately. Wow I just realized, I've written quite a long post here! Megan you should be proud of me! Ha ha. Well anyways, I guess I'll get out of here. Stay cool people! God is good...... all the time.

Pauly

Brrrrrr!

2005-08-12T11:53:00.000-07:00

Oh my word! I am SO stinkin cold right now! It's 58o here right now, and I feel like I'm just going to freeze to death. I guess it's from living in that super hot weather there in Arizona for two weeks. But I wouldn't think that it would effect me that quick. Well I don't know, all I know is that it's cold. =P

Well I don't really have anything to write about right now. I have'nt done anything exciting or crazy since I've been home. Oh... I might be going home with Caleb and Mandie this weekend. They're moving all of their stuff into their new house they bought over there in Havre. It's about four hours or so, from here. But yeah I'm not sure yet though. Ha, what am I saying I can't say no. I'll probably go. So I'll be gone over the weekend unpacking, how fun. =P

Anyways, I guess I'll get going now. I'll try to write more when something more exciting happens. See ya!

Pictures!

2005-08-11T16:09:00.000-07:00

Ok here's some pictures. From top to bottom.... The first one is Gracie and I chilling on the couch in the main building. The next on is just of Gracie, I know shocking. But I begged her to let me take one of just here while we were jump roping. Um.. the next one we were still just chilling on the couch, and Sara came and jumped on us, so I took a pic. Then the next one Tayde(don't know how to spell her name =P) took of us outside. Ha ha, the next one is of me and Jake and Flip, right before we snuck out to swim in the pool! Then there's The Three Amigos! Woo! Sorry I cut your face off a little Sara. =S And then the last one is of our class at camp. Good times.

See ya peeps!

Pauly

Title...?? Who needs one.

2005-08-11T15:42:00.000-07:00

Hey guys, I'm going to try and write more in this post. I know I didn't write a whole lot in the last one. I need to let you guys know what I've been up to while I was gone!

So... Most of the time we just kinda hung out at the Shulers house playing games and watching movies and stuff. Which I don't mind! I enjoyed that very much. But we also went to the mall, and I drug Gracie, Jacob and Flip into all the stores that I like. =) But it turns out that I got them liking those stores now too! Ha ha. I picked out an outfit for Grace too, she didn't buy it then, cause it was expensive, but....I think she might be going back there someday. =P And I bought her a hat! It is a sweet hat! She didn't know I was going to buy it, she was going to buy it herself, but I tricked her. =) He he.

Oh and we went to the skatepark! Oh man that flippin sweet! We were skating around having fun. And I've been practicing dropping into pools! I got to where I could do it on the mini, but Bro. Shuler came over and convinced me to do it on the big pool, which was like 6 foot! Oh my word it was scary, but fun. I almost got it too. But I hurt myself too many times, so I had to stop. =P Ha ha, Gracie was freaked out. I think she was afraid for my life, (she can't live without me you know) ;)

But yeah so that was mostly what I did at the Shulers. Then there was camp! Oh my word camp was good. The Lord moved SO strong there! It was SO cool to see the little kids in the alter crying and praying and getting filled with the Holy Ghost! It was powerful. Plus we had a lot of good times too! Jump roping, a lot. =P And of coarse the Three Amigos were back together! That was so cool, we had a good time. I'm going to put some pictures on here in a minute.

So yeah, I'm sure I'll think of more things to write later. But I'm done for now. I've been pretty spacey lately, just a zombie. I think most of it comes from missing Gracie. It's not fun to come home after you've been on vacation. Everything seems so...dull. But I'll be fine! I just need to keep myself busy somehow.

Alright well I think I've written enough now. =) I'm out like the 80's.

Pauly

sigh

2005-08-10T10:33:00.000-07:00

Hey guys. Here I am....back home. I got back yesterday, and I am not happy about that. I really wasn't ready to leave yet! I don't think I would have ever been ready to leave. I miss Gracie, and the kids, and the scorchin Arizona heat...*sigh* Oh well back to boring regular old life. Hopefully I can go back there again sometime to visit! SOON!

Well I'll write more on here later, I don't feel like writing a lot right now. See you guys. Be cool stay out of school! School's are evil, and so are airports.

Pauly

Sup!

2005-08-02T08:17:00.000-07:00

Hey guys what's going on!? I'm here in scorchin Az.! Having all kinds of fun. Yeah it's great, it's really hot but I don't mind I like the heat!

We got to go to the skatepark here the other day, I was so excited! It was so cool, I event went down into a pool! And landed it! Ha! I was stoaked. I love skateboarding. I need to do some more of it. =)

As you all should know, if you've read Gracie's blog I came a day early and surprised her! Ha ha! It was so great, you should have seen the look on her face when she opened the door. Oh man, it was awesome. But yeah I'm having a flippin sweet time over here! You guys should come over here and chill with us! Ha, wouldn't that be sweet!? It would be like BTI all over again.

Anyways I guess I better get out of here! I'll try to write some more sometime soon, after I get back from camp I guess. See ya!

Pauly

Hey ppl!

2005-07-25T16:25:00.000-07:00

Hey! Looks like it's time to post on the old blog. =) So yeah I've been doing some fun stuff lately. Oh.. I did the song at the anniversery party, it went well. I wasn't really nervous or anything, ha ha Dave and Mandie were. =P I thought we did pretty good though! Not to brag on ourselves or anything but I thought we sounded pretty good together. The trio! Ha ha yeah.

Speaking of trio's! In two days, count 'em, two days....I get to go to Az. and visit Grace! Ha ha! And then after that I get to go to camp with them and the Three Musketeers will be back together again! YES!! Sara's going to be there. =D I'm SO excited! We're going to have so much fun. I can't wait.

So I spent the night at Jacob Dorans household last night, and Sam and Tammy came over to! So Jacob, Sam and I went down to the river behind their house to swim! Yeah it was fun and Oh my word it was cold! It was like getting dark before we got to the river, so it was pretty cold outside. But once you got in the water and got used to it, it wasn't bad. Then we came back and played a card game, I don't know if you guys know it, but we played I buy. It's fun. And I schooled 'em! Ha ha! Yeah I beat them good. It was fun.

Oh...did I tell you guys about Caleb and Mandie's new dog? I can't remember if I did or not. Anyways, he's a Beagle! Man he is one of the cutest puppies I have ever seen! They named him Remington! Yeah... like the gun. =D Caleb put him in the pool when they were here on the weekend, and he just swam away! I think he liked it, which kind of surprised us, cause we've never had a dog that liked water right off the bat! Yeah he's great.

Anyways, I think that's enough for now. Talk to you guys later!

Pauly

Hey

2005-07-23T00:12:00.000-07:00

Hey guys! Man it feels really hot over here right now. It's probably not very hot to you Az. people, Gracie....but it's hot to me! Ha ha.

Man I've been playing guitar all day! My fingers are pretty sore now. I love to play though, I don't care if my fingers get sore, it's worth it. I have to sing that song....well today now, seeing that it's 1:15 in the morning. I hope it goes alright, I didn't know the song, so I just learned it like the day before yesterday. Oh well...I'm sure we'll do good.

Well I need to go to bed, see ya!

Paul

YO!

2005-07-22T13:51:00.000-07:00

Hey guys, everythings goin good here. I just felt like writing right now, I don't know why, but I haven't written today so it's ok! Ha ha yeah.

I'm going over to Dave's house today, we have to practice a song that we're going to sing tomorrow for his grandparents anniversary, or something. =P It's called One White Tulip, you guys might know it, it's by Larue? Yeah, I've never heard it before, but it's a cool song.

Mmm....chiminychangas!!! Yum...yeah I just got two of them! Woo! They smell so good! Ok guys I'm really hungry so....I'm out like the 80's!

Pauly

I'm bored!!

2005-07-21T17:18:00.000-07:00

Well....nothing exciting is happening at all right now! Nothing exciting has happened all day! GOSH! I hate no excitment days. =S I hope your days are going more exciting than mine! Hmm...well...I don't know what to say.

SO...

Um... you know what I like hot fudge sundae's! Yeah. =P

Hey guess what guys!? I almost died!! Ha ha! Yep it's my trademark move. Almost dying, I did it a lot at BTI. Yeah but this time it was almost at the hands of a wild man-eating crazy big toothed sharp nailed big mean aminal! ;) Yeah it was crazy. I heard it out in the woods coming at me, the boone started barking so it ran away! But yeah I figure it was a bear because of all the noise it was making. Deer don't make that much noise when they walk through the woods. =P

So yeah, that's about it for today. Oh...I got my haircut! YESSS! Finally, it's been long enough. GOSH! And don't worry, it's not a mohawk....Grace. =P

I'm out like the 80's!

Pauly

2005-07-18T13:33:00.000-07:00

Well I don't feel like typing it all up again so I'm out.

Pauly

Swimming!

2005-07-15T22:08:00.000-07:00

Hey today I went swimming with Sam in Flathead lake! It was actually really warm, I was surprised. =P I brought my dog with me (Boone). Yeah... he doesn't swim much unless I'm in the water, then he swims right over the top of me and scratches me all up! Gosh! Yeah so I have some pretty nice scratches on me, his nails are sharp! Geese, I think I bruised my neck meat. =P lol. Yeah and then I lost one of my shoes in the water, one of my old Chuch Taylors! Man I was frustrated. The mosquitos were eating me alive! There were millions of them! Man I must have like twenty five bites! But...I did find my shoe...and I had a lot of fun! I love to swim, in case you didn't know. =) Yeah so...I had a lot of fun even though I'm a bit itchy, and I have dog scratches all over me!

So now I'm home, and it's 11:15. I think it's about time for me to go to bed! Oh hey, you guys should check out the BTI pics that Sara put on her blog! There's one of me doing a back flip off of a swing at the park! Good times. *sigh* I can't wait for next year! I hope I see all my crew back again next year...( Gracie, Sara, Micah, Megan, Josh, Isaiah, Ben, and all those other ppl) ;)
