Hi my name is Caitlin

Hi my name is Caitlin Jensen. I am 14 years old.  I’m writing because my Dad has this blog idea.  He told me I could add things and I thought I would tell you something about myself.

I have brown hair and hazel eyes. I am in 9th grade. I love to read books. My favorite books to read I end up getting grounded because I am reading them over and over again. Like Harry Potter for example I have probably read Harry Potter more than 15 times and have been grounded from reading them more times then I care to count. I have a whole slew of books that I have read many times and not been caught but, I won’t mention them so I won’t get grounded for reading them

I love to run outside and play games using my imagination with my siblings. our favorite game is Narnia were we all run down at the invisible White Queen’s army and we all scream ” For Narnia and for Aslan” as quoted in the books and the movie. I also love watching sports with my dad. Sometimes if I  walk in to the middle of  a game and don’t know any of the teams I ask Dad what team he is wanting to win and I cheer for that team. That is the time me and Dad bond. It is our time until Josh walks in then we all bond together.

I have lived in Pleasant Grove, Utah, Melbourne, Arkansas, and Myrtle, Missouri. I don’t remember much of living in Pleasant Grove but I remember us leaving. I was 7 when we moved and I remember me looking out the back window watching everything I knew disappear as we drove away.  In Melbourne, Arkansas I was baptized with my best friend Alexia. Another memory I have is me and Josh milking our cow at night so we could watch a Lord of the Rings movie or a Hobbit. When me and Mom milked the cow she would tell me stories of a book or a movie she remembered. If we didn’t finish the story I would try to convince Josh to let me milk that night usually he would say no and I would have to wait until it was my turn. Then we had a house fire, and everything changed. We ended up living every where and nowhere staying only in 1 place for a week  or less we were in Limbo that terrible place where nothing happens you just go where the current took you not having a say in anything.

We finally found a better property in Myrtle, MO where we built or amazing house. We have 120 acres of land there 40 acres were full of trees and brush. The other 80 acres  were fields and grass for cows. We could run  in any direction and be all alone sadly I never was alone. But I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Sure they can be annoying but I like not being alone in the long run and here is why. I woke up one Sunday morning just sick the rest of my family went to church I was all alone. It was quite and still to break the stillness I would have turned on the TV but Mom had said it was the Sabbath and that the TV shouldn’t turn on I listened to her. I tried to read a book but fell asleep before I could finish up a page. I woke up it was about 11 and it would be 2 more hours until anyone got home I read a little more and fell asleep again being bored and all alone until they got home when the noise woke me up. Since then I have to remind myself that it is a good thing that I am never alone.

Well, that’s all I have for now.   Thanks for reading.   I hope to come back often and give you my thoughts and ideas on what is going on in our lives.  Whether we are on a farm or on a boat, we are always having a ton of fun, so check back often to follow along with us.

 

PBR riders or Rodeo clowns?

Was playing around again with some videos from last year.  Found these two gems that I remember taking.  It was a great night with good friends.  Too many people for my comfort, but I was happy to be there long enough to capture my two PBR riders in action…

So, which one is the PBR rider, and which is the rodeo clown?
