This afternoon I went with Sarah, Miss Kay, Ansel, and Andy to the U.S. Air Force recruit office. Sarah learned more about the Air Force, took a pre-ASFAB test, and scheduled an appointment for tomorrow with the recruiter we had been talking to. I'm thinking that she's really going to do this and I'm definitely happy for her. I would actually consider doing this if I didn't already have some goals and some direction for my future. The programs sound really good...good educational programs, good training, and good money. Talking with the recruiter was interesting. We found out that Sarah can't really choose any college she wants to go to. She can get college credits on the base, or she can go to one or two of the Air Force colleges they have. Something like that. This week has taken an interesting turn of events, to say the least. Even just a few months ago it probably would've seemed absurd for Sarah to really be considering this. I would totally consider this if I didn't want to go to college and go on to other things.
I just voted for what I think Toby's new record should be titled. The three options were:

*Portable Sounds
*The Color of We
*Feelin' So Fly

I voted for "Portable Sounds." "The Color of We" had the most votes. Toby's releasing his first single soon!!

Crazy teenager, crazy life

So today at school I've been discussing with Sarah what we're going to do with our lives. Our immediate and long-term future. She has been wondering what she should do and I've been wondering what college I'll end up going to, what major(s) I will pursue, and what career(s) I will earn my living from. It's been interesting to talk about. Sarah has decided to check out what the military could do for her. She wants to get her college paid for by the military and then work the required amount of time for them.
I went to my sister's house over the weekend. They are going to name their baby boy Samuel Morales! I'm going to be the crazy aunt who picks him up (and his siblings after my sis has more children) from school with my tobyMac blasting and such. I'll buy him ice cream and then say all these crazy things to his friends. Speaking of tobyMac, he's actually releasing his new album in February. I went on his website a few days ago and the first single is supposed to be released this month. I'm so excited!
Hmmm, I've been deciding if I want to make this blog public or just keep it with me. I told some people about it but I'm about 99% sure that no one is reading this (which is fine). I just don't want to tell people about it and then have no one ever read it.

NBA draft and trades equals craziness

T-mac's new record is about halfway done. When will Toby come back to East Texas? Hopefully I'll get to go to a show in the next year or two.

Italian big man went first in the draft! I can't even remember his name. I saw part of his press conference...he seems cool and nice. I'm happy for Toronto and I'm sure they'll be improved this year. Hopefully the television networks will show more Raptors games so I can watch Chris Bosh and the new Italian guy. Let's see...who else do they have? I can't even remember. I know they picked up one or two other players in the draft who are supposed to be good, but I can't remember who they are. *does research* Oh yeah, that's right, Toronto has Charlie Villanueva(I like Charlie Villanueva). I mean, they had Villanueva. They just traded him to Milwaukee for T.J. Ford. I like Ford, so it's all good. Plus it'll be cool to see Villanueva play with Andrew Bogut. And Michael Redd.
Lakers look like they picked up some fresh talent too. Hopefully we'll progress even more this year(and begin to play consistently, jeez).
When will Kevin Garnett be traded???? Free this man from his prison!!
