Hi to everyone who's interested enough to check out my diary! I'm going to try and go by years, and months. On my other site I used to have this on the main page, but now figure to comlicate things less a seperate page is the best idea for those of you who want to see what I've been doing! :-)

1998

I started my 1st very own webpage in Dec. I think. A friend of mine staying with me (Talia Rolan) showed me some HTML tags and how to sign up at Geocities. Thanks Talia! From there on I learned some more HTML and added pictures, cursors, and many more goodies. Matter of fact by the time I figured out I actually can use a program to do all this for me - I'd built a good site just using HTML and finding it easier. :-)

1999

A very fun year, in 1999 some of the main things I did / happened to me - I had a pen pal from Alaska visit me, A relitive on my Father's side , - his daughter got married so a trip out to North Dakota , and many fond memories of the wedding, sight seeing in this very old - west type land, taking many pictures, etc . I joined a photography club with many wonderful and willing to share people :-) Also I bought my first guitar (An Acoustic) and started taking lessons , a wonderful choice!

2000

Proved to be, to be honest a very depressing year for me. (See my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder page.) However happy things happened too! I began my own business, Guitar lessons and my teacher (Who's in a wonderfully talented local band) asked me to take pictures for the band! This being my first "Pro photography" gig proved to make me very nervous, but I'm happy , I took alot of pictures (every photographer's seceret!) and have some marvelous ones that the band is using for posters. Also I met (and continue to meet) some very wonderful people online. Thanks to you all! :-)

2001 (Now I'm going by months! ) :-)

Jan. Happy New Year!!!! For New Years I watched Tv, Ate too much, Online, Those types of things, very cool though! :-) In Jan. I bought my first car, it's a 1991 Cadillac Seville, for everyone who's interested in cars and I am so happy with it! :-) As soon as I get some pictures scanned / get a digital camera/ have someone scan some pictures of the car for me I want to post some! :-)

Feb. My Birthday, Feb. 1st , - I'm 19 ! :-) For my Birthday I had a wonderful day, went out to eat, and recieved many great gifts! Also (Me still at home, this being both the parents and my idea since I help and learn with the family business!) a construction crew has been out adding on to our home so now I have all the room I want, which is great and very much appriciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

Mar. There's more work on the additional room and I am getting excited about putting all my new things in the room the new room is decorated in burgandy and accent colors and is very nice looking! Guitar lessons are great and it's nice too to have more room to practice playing guitar and move around a bit as you play guitar and have room for your guitars might I add ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-) The new room is great and I like it very much there's yardwork too and plenty of things to do too! I want to post some new pictures of me, the rooms, the house, etc! :-)

Apr. Winter's starting to leave which is a very good thing and most of the wwork on my room is getting nearly close to being compleated!

May Well the room construction and moving things in is pretty much done but I am still having fun finding things for the new room like floor lamps and such things. It's filling out trather quickly which makes me sort of curious how I used to almost all that into just 1 room!! The lilacs shurbs are in bloom here and it is so nice to open your windows and smell the sweet scent as it drifts in. I've actually been wearing shorts somewhat! I have a small deck that a door from my bedroom opens on to so I have been having fun going outside and sitting out there.

June Summer seems to be here!! Yay! I am starting to wear more and more of my summer type clothes, another nice thing too. Guitar lessons are good and all is good here!!!!!!!! I am meeting some new and very interesting people in the area which is a very good thing! Our camper which usually sits out in our field we've taken to some friends place in the southren area of Mn, it's a different area thetre and is a nice get away sort of thing sometimes. the friends are actually my parents friends from many years ago and have a young teen daughter and son, the daughter looks to me like somewhat of an older sister, which is good,, and at times quite interesting.

July My mom's cousin and her husband have invited my parents and myself to her cabin in the northren part of the state, it's very pretty there and lots of things to see listen to and do. And good things to eat too! they took us too all sorts of fun towns and the like such things in the area and I have taken some pretty good photos of everything there. Also a trip to the camper in southren Mn. Everything like shopping, taking pictures and guitar lessons are good..

Aug. More trips with my parents and me to both the cabin and to the camper, which are very nice and relaxing. As usual there are plenty of interesting things to see listen to and do at both places and I have lots of fun taking pictures everywhere! A couple of friends of mine and myself have a Mary Kay party, very interesting for me because I don't tend to wear much make up, but it can be fun thing.

Sept. the trees are starting to turn the colors of autumn and the air has a certain crispness to it, and as you're walking along you can hear the crisp sounds of you footsteps. Another trip to the cabin and to the Duluth are of Mn proved to be beautiful and render many awesome pictures!

Oct. My brother is home!! Yes. I have a brother. He's actually my 1/2 brother, which explains why he hasn't been around much. But now he's here and wants to stay!! What a great thing!! A trip to the camper and a friend of mine and me went to a women's expo which is a very cool thing! And a celtic performance by a singer called Katie McMahon. Wonderful music! I have some pictures which I can try and post soon of many things!

Nov. My brother is no longer staying here, this is typical of the sorts of things he does. He's a very restless sort of person and is more entertained in larger cities across the USA. this month I was to a friend of mine and her husband's, very good friends who own a stable, I got to help with some chores and horseback ride alittle bit, but it sure is wonderful to just to visit too! ALso thanksgiving was good too, small but sometimes the smaller the get together the more special it is. And I've doen alot of shopping for the holidays and decorating and gottens ome gifts early too! Like this really awesome coat, it's reversible faux fur and on the other side it's shiney black with the the faux fur trim, earmuffs, gloves, hats, make up and nail polish and a jumper too! And I still have some packages under the tree! Amazing!

DEC. A good month! a NEW KITTY! A little stray kitty adopted us, her name is Trixie and is a wonderful calico! See the pets page!! I temporarly stopped taking guitar lessons and am attempting to learn on my own. the problem seems to be staying motivated. A very nice Yule and I find as much as I like to recieve gifts there is almost bigger fun in watching people on the gifts you give them!!!!!!!! :-) Also as an early Birthday gift just a couple days befofre New Years I got a Digital camera! It's an Olympus and I love it! And I bought myself a laptop. Yeah!! Alright so I am in a *little* debt for it. But that's alright too because otherwise I would probablly just spend the $$ on little insignifigant things. And it'll be all mine in just a couple months so..... A good deal!!!!!!!!

January 2002 Pretty cool a whole new year!! On New Years day I did my usual thing which is to hand out with my family and watch tv and this year,, Play on my new laptop! Yay! New Year's Day We all got together with Aunt and Uncle who are really my Mom's cousins and went shopping! I always like to shop!! I have been having so much fun with my camera and have alot of nice pictures! A really good pal of mine has just started making more contact with me which is nice!!

Feb.

I'm 20! Yay! My Birthday was wonderful with a trip to the Minneapolis Insitute of Arts, a conservatory, both of which places were filled with wonderful examples of art and flowers and plants. I have some great photos which were taken with my digital camera. then out to eat at a Greek place and the food was terriffic! Guitar lessons have been great and I have been working alot on my webpage.
