Hello. On my riding lesson yesterday, someone had taken Gabby to a show, so I had to use a different horse - Ginger. She and I do NOT get along at all. AND we had to work on leading, which Gingi HATES, and I got hot and dusty and really p/o'ed. But in the afternoon I got to help with other lessons. Remember Olivia? The one with Gabby's stallmate, Willow? Well, she's Derek's sister! I just found out a week ago. She is so sweet. I'm probably going to help her again next week. She still hasn't quite got the hang of trotting.

I really wish my life was a movie. 'Cause it would be one of those real life Romeo and Juliet things. I'm not getting obsessed or anything, but I sort of miss the attention I got when I would read Juliet's lines and Maddie would giggle, and Tyler would look very seriously at Derek, and so on. But Derek's going to the high school next year, so even if we did go out - which is really unlikely, since he's 2 1/2 years older than me, and he'd be in high school, and I'd be in 7th grade, so that would be weird. I'll try to ignore him. But Livvy is adorable. Tera's brother, Ty, might have a crush on me, but most likely on a girl named Annie, who's also a cellist. Sigh. Sorry I'm getting all lovestruck here.

We've decided that in June we're moving to our Whidbey house! We discussed it, and Dad can commute, and it gets REALLY REALLY HOOOOTTTT in Seattle in the summer. I also heard V say something about 'Natasha' and 'emotional stability' and 'run free this summer' and I'm like, I'm sooo emotionally stable, but if it gets me to Whidbey, I'll be as unstable as possible! It's really nice there, too, we have like two acres, and a beach across the street. Plus the Rileys stay on Whidbey during the summer, too, and I have some friends there, like Jaccquelyn. And in late July, my family is flying up for a reunion, so I'll have a ton of cousins around then.

That's it, really. Sorry if this is boring.
Natasha
