I've met two great girls since I moved here. Olivia is in my class. She's probably my complete opposite, girlie, likes shopping and dancing. She lives with her mom and has lived in several different places in Europe. I'm not exactly sure what her mom does, but I know it's some kind of government work. I just hope Olivia doesn't have to move any time soon! She's an only child and really close with her mom.
Tristan is more like me. She lives nearby on a ranch and loves to ride horses as much as I do. Her oldest brother is a bull rider. Tristan does a lot of 4H stuff and had been busy preparing her cattle for the fair last week. Her steer placed 3rd! She was really proud. Trist has two older brothers, both in their twenties. I would so love to live with her family. It is much more peaceful than mine.
Speaking of my family, there has been a lot of problems going on. For once I'm glad of the long bus ride to and from school since it keeps me from being home. I've come to dread the weekends. You know that Angelica lived with us for awhile when her dads were still in NYC. That's where the problems started. We all love Angelica, but Daddy has never approved of her families life style, that her parents are gay. But Mom is good friends with Martin, Gelly's biological dad. Daddy is just over the moon with anger that she agreed to let Gelly live with us and that Mom works with Martin.
It's just a mess. My parents have always been complete opposites, but still always got along. This was, apparently, the last nail in the coffin. I don't know if they will get divorced. I'm afraid that if they do I will have to live with Mom in the city. I could never leave my horses!
And on top of all that, Chase has been acting out and is constantly in trouble at school and with the police. He's been busted for underage drinking once already and for speeding. I just hope my parents can get their act together soon.

Rain and Mud
I think fall might be officially here!
It's been unusually warm the past few weeks. Good for the farmers that we haven't had any killing frost, but getting old. However, it rained last night! It was crisp and refreshing this morning when I went to feed my horses. But, oh the mud! I forgot how nasty it could be. My boots must have weighed ten pounds by the time I got to the barn. My jeans were all splattered, too. Cam laughed when he saw me because some how I had gotten mud in my hair as well! Luckily it came out easily since I didn't have time to shower before the bus came.
Izzy was already to go out in her raincoat and boots. She looked so cute! I couldn't resist taking her with me to check on the cows. Which ended up being a very bad idea since it's breeding season for the cattle. I told Izzy they were playing leapfrog. Her response? "What's leapfrog?" Poor kids these days don't know any games! (Gosh, I sound old!). Luckily she has a very short attention span and forgot about the mating cows by the time we got back to the house.
Remember my black and white barn cat? I've decided what I'm going to do with her. Angelica's cat is still pretty wonky from her dog attack so I'm giving the cat to Angelica. I'm going to take it over this weekend. Angelica's very excited! I'm glad too since Daddy has been chewing me out about the cat again since he found out she's not fixed and his idea of cat population control is not very cat-friendly. Luckily Angelica's dads have no problem paying to have her spayed.
Next post I'll have to talk about my new friends. One I met at school and the other lives nearby. They're both quite cool!
