Alright everyone, back by popular demand, yes! It is the one and only Mare Bear. Who for some reason-known only by Jake, has suddenly become Mayberry.
I would like to start by apologizing for my absence as I miss everyone terribly and am truly sorry for the lack of communication. I have been unceasingly and incredibly busy by all accounts of the word. . Even my sleep has been sacrificed! gasp! I would also like to thank all of you who yelled all the at me in the halls, so loudly that everyone could hear, just to tell me that you miss my post and that I needed to start writing again! I shall never forget how red I was. You know who you are (I'm giving you the stink eye). Finally, thanks to the Brennemans who asked me in the kindest way of all in a comment on my post. It made me feel appreciate :-D. I always try to respond to pleasant request over intimidating demands. :-P.
Well then, Some of my many engagements since my last post include CROSS COUNTRY, Band, FCCLA, FFA, Dance lessons every Thurs., PSAT tests, homecoming, football games, face painting at the pals family fun night, 4-H (with youth council, 4-H committee, and my club's huge 2 1/2 hour Halloween party), also church youth group and choir every Wednesday night, school work out the yin yang, completion of nearly 22 pages of research for kirkwood, planning an alcohol free party for Halloween with Tia and Brett, as well as going to Haunted Houses with my friends. I spend every free moment possible with my friends and family. I also got a new cell phone and will always make time to talk to whom ever is on the other end. MY new number is (319)530-1475. I also have unlimited text messaging if you would rather text. I will always respond :-D.
I would also like to take this opportunity to say that I have an interest in running for state FCCLA office on the executive council this March. I'm starting my work now, so we'll see what happens. I have learned and gained so much in my last 3 years as a member and I want to give it all back. Also, I am ubber excited to celebrate my birthday this year at District conventions in Cincinnati, Ohio with all my friends in an amazing hotel! :-). The theme is take action with ambition. I can't wait. The state theme is create the extraordinary...because thatis how extraordinary becomes the ordinary.
After returning from FCCLA meetings in the beginning of the week. I promptly took the PSAT tests and missed another day of school to test. I am currently awaiting my scores-fingers crossed.
Even later that week I had a band completions. State competition was in Williamsburg this year and it was amazingly successful. (I hope Brandt relayed the message to those of you I invited :-). We had an immensely successful season with our show "Around the World in 8 Minutes". It was full of action and took much hard work. I have had to be at school by about 7:00 on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays rain or shine with a smile on my face and a freezing cold metal mouth piece stuck to it all year to this point.
After face painting dad let me go out to the mall with my friends instead of coming straight home. There I met up with everyone (a bunch of friends) as they got off of work. Then we went to the haunted barn in Marengo with Aric, Nora, Dustin, Hannah, and Myself... It was pretty spooky, but the best part was hearing Dustin scream like a girl. I haven't laughed so hard in years. I think I even started to scare the workers. They didn't understand why I was laughing in a haunted house. Another funny part was when a guy with a chain saw came at me and I hit the off button. He was so shocked. He then gave me a hug and high five, that's when I actually got scared-chuckle :-). Afterwards all the girls went back to Hannah's house to watch movies and have girl's night. I got home this morning at 8:30 and I am glad to say that I have had a fairly relaxing day. Minimal home work. Except I am currently slacking on my Cleopatra research paper to visit blogs though. Shhhhhh. don't tell. Although, in my deffence I have 2 Cleopatra sites opened and have typed 2 1/2 pages will waiting on my slow dial up internet.

Also, those of you who know or talk to my beautiful sister Rose, call her and congratulate her. She made it into the School of Education at the University of Iowa this week and I am so excited for her! AND... Ray is now able to run again with about a 96% recovery! Thank God! Mom is walking everyday after school on the track and everything is great and healthy with dad's hogs so he's happy too. My uncle Don recently had a retirement party and both my sis and lil bro are a year older. Now I feel like the youngster! Ray is almost 16 and Rose will never be a teen again...call her old fart, it's funny :-). I just recently heard from my beloved aunt Renee in Canada who will be coming down for my birthday and Thanksgiving. I have applied for a job as a hostess and waitress at the 7 Villages Restaurant/Hotel as well. (It's close to home so I don't have to drive far.)
Although, one of the best things recently might be the homemade apple pie one of my friends gave me for giving her rides to band. Thank you so much! Now I find myself making apple pies from our apples! You inspired me-(chuckles).
(With all my business I find that its best to live with the knowledge that..."I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13)--somedays that is what I need to make it through.
A long ways back was the fun event of Homecoming all the way back on the 10th of October. During homecoming week I made class signs and painted windows...and had absolutely nothing to do with the tepeeing of the school-hehehe. I attended Mason Wood's bonfire at his house on Thursday night as well, it was exciting, and I think almost the entire school was there. Homecoming was against the Panthers, and it was the only game of the season that our team lost, but it was still fun and very exciting. The band did great and I hung out with friends afterwards. I will never forget the football game for another very funny event this year after the game... I will be nice and not embarrass him, but I know that Sammy, Alison, and Morgan are reading this and laughing with me now. (inside joke for us-he he he). I went to the dance on Saturday night and it was rockin''(even though my date didn't pay for my dinner, had to go to Casey's to get money just to get into the dance, and he didn't even dance with me until the last song). Despite a few minor set backs and the fact that I had a XC meet in North Linn at 8:30 that morning followed by a band competition at 4:30 in the afternoon, and the fact that I got back and ready in about 45 minutes with a shower. I had a pretty dress and a stupendous time dancing with many different people and hanging with all of my other friends.
So than, what have I been up to more recently. For starters I'm going to have a quick, little bragging session on behalf of team just to get that out of the way. Bare with me...
WE ARE GOING TO STATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's right the Williamsburg Raiders Girl's XC team is currently ranked number 2 in the entire state of Iowa out of approx. 88 teams. We are going to be running at state next weekend Saturday, November 1, 2008 in Fort Dodge. We hope to have a pep bus available for the entire community at a charge of only $4 per person. But an even greater hope yet is that we will knock Decorah off of the high podium to be number 1 in the state for the first time in Raider history. We already won the Conference title for the first time since 1986 and we know we are capable of winning state if we keep our heads on straight. All or nothing! We always run as hard as we can, for as long as we can, to do as much as we can, and let God take care of the rest. Because success happens when 10,000 hours of hard work and determination meet one moment of opportunity.
As you can imagine by that last quick paragraph my time has been pretty focused on running. I love running. I know I'm crazy, I hear it all the time, but I just can't help it. It's a passion. Strange as it may sound, I'm even starting to love the pain. Upon graduating from high school I'm going to continue running as my goal is to run in the half marathon they have in Des Monies during the fall of my Freshman year of college. Another exciting thing for me is that for the first time in my history I ran a sub 6 mile. In otherwords, I reach my once impossible goal of running a mile in under 6 minutes. I ran in 5 minutes and about 54 seconds. It hurt a lot, and yes I did puke. oops :-o. but to me it was worth it. Also, I am not one of the top 8 girls on the team-if that gives you any inclination of the fortitude and ability of Williamsburg varsity girls. They deserve much respect. And I'm am glad to run in these girls shadows and be hopefully run varsity next year. Our JV girls finished our season undefeated and had 3 meets with perfect scores, meaning we had runners in 1,2,3,4,and 5 place and in one meet we even took the top 7. Total domination. (ok bragging session is complete for the most part---sorry about that :-P)
Info: A resent exciting XC activity includes tepeeing our XC coach, coach Nordhiem's house. I ran around his house 5 times with out breaking the roll when we did well at districts. Even coach thought it was funny. I was fun to go back to the Ritchie house afterwards and stuff our faces too. This Cross Country season will go in the memory book and never be forgotten. I will also always remember running to burg foods, buying cookies, and running back to share with everyone, as well as our many team suppers. Which I would like to say that Mrs. Widmer (Mitchell Widmer's mom) makes the best cheesecake in the world! (Even better than yours Brandt-sorry but that is no lie! perhaps you too should have a bake off though=and I get to take the cakes :-). I will remember how everyone made so much noise in town after me made state, and the firetruck that drove around to announce our arrival home. One of my favorite memories may be all of out inside jokes or eating peanut butter covered oreos at molly's house when we were supposed to be running and then almost having to run back to school because her car wouldn't start. It is definitely a season for the memory book! love you girls so much! Next week....Party as Sammy Meyer's House!!!!!!!!! Horror Movie Mania!
Sadly however, to be quite honest, I will be a tiny bit excited when it's all over with! One because I get to rock it out as a Senior next year and two... I CAN'T WAIT FOR WRESTLING SEASON!!!! And NO I don't mean that in the creepy watch boys in spandex way! I mean it in the-I really love watching wrestling way. I never thought I would ever say this after last season, but I miss spending my day in a gym watching a bunch of sweaty guys do disgusting things. In part that is because I know the work that they put in and I've been there. I have more respect for my male classmates that wrestle than most others (unless they chew---or other illegal activities---hint hint you all are disgusting). I'm not a big fan of those that starve themselves either. Anyways, you can be sure to see me at every wrestling meet that I am able to attend and thanks to everyone who already has offered to carpool! (REALLY BIG MARY SMILE :-D) I also am excited now to have my baby bro in there so I can come cheer him on. And yes Jake I will come watch you, but please stop sending my pics. of your bod...I'm not impressed. sorry-had to embarrass you :-).
My other time and energy consuming activity at the moment is FCCLA. I have been individually teaching myself for the past week as I have been attending meetings in Des Monies and around Iowa and not attending school-no worries I'm pre-excussed (on the plus side I got to stay in the Hilton :-P). I do all my school work in the evenings and sometimes feel my days blending. I have most recently debated the question: is it worth to go to sleep at 3:30 in the morning when you know you have to wake up at 5:00? The answer is yes. At least to me. It's always worth it to do as much as possible. With great risks, come great rewards. Hard work and determination-again-always pay off! The conferences I attended were great just like the food, hotel, guest speaker, and well EVERYTHING. The guest speaker was Michael Wade Smith a man who has talked to the president personally, as well as been a chapter, district, state, and national FCCLA officer, despite coming from a physically and mentally abusive and unstable home life. He is only 20 years old and I was very impressed with his accomplishments and intellect. So much that we even e-mail now. I am even more impressed that as busy as he is he has time to talk to some small town Iowa girl that probably doesn't mean much to him. He told me something that now means a great deal to me..."you cannot teach anyone anything, you can only help them discover it with in themselves." This is powerful to me because I am one of those people who always tries to help people. I have so quickly learned that you can never and should never try change who someone really is, because it won't work. You can only change someone who wants to be changed and to do that they most want to learn it or change it for themselves. As a great leader will make everyone around you better just by being there, listening, and caring. A true leader will choose to transfer things from the way they are to the way they should be. The world can be a great place: if you lead they will follow. ("If you build it they will come"-Field of Dreams- sorry felt the urge to stick in a corny line.) Everyone should use what they are awesome at, to change the world. Success Starts with you. It's your life, your choice, and your voice. make the best of it!

I can't wait. The state theme is create the extraordinary...because thatis how extraordinary becomes the ordinary.
(Now so random Mary fumes...) If you don't do it, who will? Demand perfection of yourself and let go of all excuses! Excuses get you nowhere...they can only knock you down. You must challenge excuses and fight apathy at all cost. Play the hand your dealt and win it! Always take something away from the experience, never leave a regret.
After returning from FCCLA meetings in the beginning of the week. I promptly took the PSAT tests and missed another day of school to test. I am currently awaiting my scores-fingers crossed.
Even later that week I had a band completions. State competition was in Williamsburg this year and it was amazingly successful. (I hope Brandt relayed the message to those of you I invited :-).

I have had to be at school by about 7:00 on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays rain or shine with a smile on my face and a freezing cold metal mouth piece stuck to it all year to this point.
----------I never really did get why when we were little they told us to never lick cold metal but when we get older and join band they yell at you over a loud speaker if you don't! --------------Marching band season ended last week and we are now preparing for concert band and practicing pep band music. We are choreographing and practicing Thriller for our performance at the play off game this next Wednesday night in Williamsburg.
The band will all be in our Halloween costums, and the golden girl will be there to twerl some fire. If you can make it please come!! (we are currently the second ranked football team in the Districts). I am excited for the game!
More recently...Maggie, Chuck, Bowen, and many of my other friends were in Indian for national FFA....in other words it's quiet-he he he. Currently in FFA we are selling Fruit-so if you're interested you know who to call.
Everyone got back late Friday night and I have loved hearing so many fun stories.
This week I spent tons of my time on homework and other research as well. I completed nearly 22 pages of sociology work as well as work on my rough draft on my Cleopatra research paper. (Very little sleep but I learned incredible amounts). Term ended on Friday....One down 3 to go! I'm glad to have all of the finals done for another term!!
Also, this last week Maggie and I went to the 4-H committee meeting and met one of the new workers at the extension office. I believe her name is Deborah, and she was really nice. Also this week with 4-H my club had a very successful meeting. It was Saturday morning 9-11 and we had so many fun activities. (Thank you all parents for helping it is far more than appreciated). We had 2 fun games, officer induction ceremony, a fun craft, tons of treats and great food, beautifully spooky decorations, and a pumpkin competition with homemade certificates for the scariest, most creative, ect.... Everyone had loads of fun. I know I loved it. Last night I went to church and than worked at the pals family fun night at Mary Welsh. I was in charge of face painting, yet I seemed to get painted on just as much.... I let Alison Brinkman and Kira Savage paint a black cat face on me. Then I remembered that I was going home to have Karl Lamount at my house to play some ping pong... :-0. However, my face was amusing to say the least. While painting, one little girl wanted me to paint a cat face on her as well because she said she said I looked funny and she wanted to look like me- not sure if it was a good thing that she thought I looked funny and for that reason wanted to look like me, but it brought a smile to my face anyways. I felt special and strangely less silly when more people started to paint cat faces as well, I guess even a cat face can be a new trend---many laughs with Alison P. and me---both as cats. The little girls were so adorable in their cat faces-they looked much cuter the me---he he he. It was the most fun job I've ever had.

After face painting dad let me go out to the mall with my friends instead of coming straight home. There I met up with everyone (a bunch of friends) as they got off of work.

I haven't laughed so hard in years. I think I even started to scare the workers. They didn't understand why I was laughing in a haunted house. Another funny part was when a guy with a chain saw came at me and I hit the off button. He was so shocked. He then gave me a hug and high five, that's when I actually got scared-chuckle :-). Afterwards all the girls went back to Hannah's house to watch movies and have girl's night. I got home this morning at 8:30 and I am glad to say that I have had a fairly relaxing day. Minimal home work. Except I am currently slacking on my Cleopatra research paper to visit blogs though. Shhhhhh. don't tell. Although, in my deffence I have 2 Cleopatra sites opened and have typed 2 1/2 pages will waiting on my slow dial up internet.
This next week shall hopefully be another exciting one, although I would be happy to be a little less busy, and perhaps receive some more sleep. The main focus will prob. be state, Halloween and Halloween Party, Dance- which is amazing (esp. ballet), and 4-H awards night...It will be great fun.
I would like to add a new amusing quote that I kidnapped from a bumper sticker. It's very controversial and I may make many people mad, but this is my blog and my opinions so I'm going to go for it. " Annoy a liberal: be happy, have success, work hard, earn money!" Sorry to those that disagree, but I love it and it seems to fit with my debatable attitude lately. I am entirely unsure of what provoked me, but I am so unbelievably into the politics of the world right now, it's not even funny. Plus, I love to debate, as I'm sure many of you know. The other day I amused myself by rendering the biggest Obama supporter I know into utter silence. I love making them speechless :-) A teach that was watching the whole things started laughing and told me I was too ornery for my own good. Maybe so, but who can deny it's not a little fun. Besides, as I am a lady, I did not even start the argument, I merely finished it. :-)
