My daybook

Well, the other day I was at a blog and the girl had done a type of post which I thought looked like tons of fun so I'm gonna do the same kind. Here goes!

Outside my window: I can see the donkey pasture me and my dad built and a few chickens calmly pecking in the yard!

I am thinking: About my new found love for Nilla Wafer cookies.

I am listening to: My mom putting away dishes and my dad talking on the phone.

I am looking forward to: Going to a homesteading meeting tomorrow morning and going to schlitterbahn on Saturday!

I am wearing: Blue and white exercise shorts and a brown T-shirt that says (RECON)NECT.

I am reading: The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien

I am hoping: That my sister who is in Houston makes it home safely!

One of my favorite things: Ballet!

What I want to be: At the present time, a photographer!

Well there's some random news from the world of Abigail for you :)

What summers are made of

My family finally got internet!!! So I can start posting like a normal blogger person, YAY!
                                  
Life has been fairly normal, and I think I’m starting to get into summer mode! The ballet recital is all over, it came off VERY well and I found out I’m getting on pointe next year, I am so excited!
            
          I don’t have too many plans for the summer, but I hope to go to a ballet camp, possibly go to Schlitterban and participate in our annual kousins kamp. Oh and I’m also getting two donkeys aaaahhh I’m so excited about them. We already have a little pasture fenced for them and now we just have to build their barn, then we get to go and pick up the cuties!


Another exciting thing that happened is I got a haircut, I get so nervous whenever I get it cut I literally get a stomach ache, but it ended up being exactly what I wanted!
                                                     
                                            

About five days ago a hen of ours who was broody had nine eggs hatch, there were only two eggs that didn’t, so that was pretty exciting! But sadly we did lose a baby chick three days ago. :(
         
          This past weekend I went to visit Camp Tejas (where one of my sisters works) me and my other sister drove for four hours in a car with no AC it was VERY exciting. But on our way there we stopped in College Station and I got to visit my (hopefully) future college campus, Texas A&M University, It was awesome!
          Being at camp was tons of fun, I loved it because people kept coming up with nicknames for me, such as: Mini Mcclure, Esther’s brother, (just so you know, I’m a girl ;) and Aveo (the guy thought that was what I said when I told him my name was Abigail) haha! Also while I was at camp I got to learn how to belay people on the rock climbing wall, that was super cool! Plus I got to go off the zip line, which was also LOTS of fun! :)
Well that’s all for now.
