  20.  I like to work with computers.
  21.  I agree with Stephen, Coffee smell or flavor makes me gag.
  22.  I like to sit in the back of whatever room that I am in. I like to be the one looking at people, rather than them looking at me.
  23.  I have been an EFY counselor twice before.
  24.  I hate waiting.
  25.  I hate lines. Hence the I hate waiting.

  55.  I really would like to play the guitar better, but I never practice.
  56.  I am a horrible test taker. I think that tests should be able to be taken over and over again until you get the grade that you want. More repetition = memorization. Because unless you are a doctor or do something that directly effects the safety of others, Trial and error apply.

  61.  If Stephen gets married before I do, I am going to move back in with Mom and Dad.
  62.  I think it is funny how both Shyanne and Sally got married in the same year, same with Seth and Shelly. Hopefully that trend doesn’t continue.
  63.  I did something to my back, so it feels like I have the back of a 60 year old. I can’t even bend over to to lift up the toilet seat. I have to squat down to lift it up. But I am going to go to the Chiropractor today.
  64.  I have been to every state in the continental minus the top 9 original states.
  65.  I like to be happy.
  66.  For some reason I worry about what others think about me. Therefore I am kinda quiet and reserved until I am comfortable with those around me. Don’t ask me why. I have tried to change this several times but with no avail.
  67.  I like nice, long, hot showers.
  68.  I like brand new socks.
  69.  I like a blanket right out of the dryer on a cold day.

  85.  I like walking on brand new carpet with bare feet.
  86.  I like to sit in the sun, out of the wind and soak up the heat. I just feels so good.
  87.  I love Grandma Claybrook’s pickles.
  88.  I love cheddar cheese.
  89.  I don’t really like apples. I always feel sick after eating them.
  90.  The only way that I like oatmeal is in a cup of cold ice water and sugar. Umm umm good. Or in no-bake cookies.
  91.  I like to tease people.
  92.  I like to argue for the sake of arguing.
  93.  I like to have peace and quiet sometime everyday. Not just when I am sleeping.
  94.  I like to go out walking through the woods. Anywhere woods.

Family Battleship Team

We have won all but one game out of the 4 games we have played so far. We are called "The Drifters" It is way fun and when all three of us siblings are in the canoe together we are all yelling at eachother its crazy.
In action Jake and Sam.

Me and shyanne are the blockers ( the lid holders) Adam Jake and Sam all take turns being the soakers. We play three 15 min rounds and it is brutal.
