Its who I am

Mower Racing is time well spent with family.
It’s the fights that happen between brother and sister on who’s the fastest.
It’s a mom that hates racing but is still there to cheer on her kids.
It’s a dad as proud as can be that his kids somehow inherited his need for speed.

It’s a sport that gives an adrenaline rush all its own.
It’s the feeling of going fast and turning left.
But then it’s the lessons learned when you learn that you can’t just do that.
It’s the hours in the shop building a mower from the ground up.

Its late night calls and chats with some of the greatest to get advice on subjects ranging from boys to mower maintenance.
It’s that ever popular debate on Briggs or Tecumseh which ones better.
It’s those debates on Craftsman, Mtd or Murray and everything in between

It’s the friendships formed in the pits and knowing that you’ll never find a bond greater than this.
It’s helping your competitors knowing that once on the track it doesn’t matter who wins when you come back into the pits you’ll still be friends.
It’s those friendships with so many inside jokes, that make you realize whether you know it or not you have become part of a family.
A family made by choice not force.

It’s the tears of disappointment that fell when I knew I wouldn’t race anymore.
But then it’s the voice of the sports heroes in my ears saying don’t give up you’ll be back on the track in no time.
It’s the bonds that, I have formed in the sport that has turned ordinary men into heroes in my eyes.
Its knowing that mower racing is more than a sport.
It becomes a way of life.
It became my life.
It’s who I am!

Update

Ok I'm sure by now everyone has heard that I'm transfering home at semester. I want to clarify that its my choice and its because I'm not happy up here. Since being here I have been physically hurt twice. The first time I hurt myself was I popped my hip out of place ending up on crutches for a few weeks. Then i ended up with a cut on the back of my arm after a log fell into a windshield. Im transfering to ASU in San Angelo and will also be chaning majors to Physology or Socialology. On a happy note I had an A a B+ and C+ on my grades for midterm.

Day 17- Someone you want to give a second chance to.

Hey You,
You hurt me so bad. But you know what. Everyone makes mistakes. I love you ok and I wanna give you a second chance. But I'm not sure if I can handle it. I mean you broke my heart, ruined the trust that I had given you, and most of all made me believe that lie you had told me. So heres the deal. I'm going to see you on the first day of campus I know that its unavoidable. So I wanna take the high road and give you a second chance. You know I'm not going to be rude. Its not in my heart ok to be rude to you, because I know the kinda guy you are. You made a mistake and I forgive you. I just hope that You can forgive me for taken so long to forgive you..Oh and you better still have that Teddy bear.. See you on Campus..You still have my heart.

Love and Hugs
Jenny

Day 16-Someone you just by First Impression

Hmm I judge alot of people by first impression.The person that comes to mind though is Rocket Reece Reeve.

Rocket,
I met you for the first time about 9 years ago. You had a little green gokart. Well I wanted it really bad, AND well lets just say when you were rude to me..I got my first impression that you were a well buthole. I learned 7 years later that you really weren't that bad and now are one of my closet and dearest friends. I'm sorry that I ever judged you on a bad mood.

Jenny

p.s. I know no matter what I can count on you when things go south and I appreciate it.

Saturday, July 31, 2010

Day 14- Someone Who Pesters Your Mind.

Well, I normally never let anyone pester my mind that much. I tell the truth if your bothering me or if something in general is bothering me..The person pestering my mind at the moment is Nicholas Alen Bauer.

Nick,
Where do I start. Well, first off you used my biggest insecurity against me thanks alot jerk. Second I wanna know what made you do what you did. Was it the fact that you just thought you'd get by with it. Because Nick honestly you hurt two girls very deeply. I've forgiven you for it, because I'm a christian and thats the right thing. I wont ever be able to trust you though. Well thats all I'm sayin..Have a great life.

Day 13-The person that you wish you could be.

Dear Me,
Its been along time since I thought of who I wanted to be..I've always hoped that I was the greatest friend, respectful, and always honest.Well I learned recently that every now and again stuff doesn't exactly go the way you plan. The people you never thought that you would hurt. I hurt and all because of a huge misunderstanding..So I guess what I should say. Is I hope that they forgive me. I was dumb and I let something get the best of me that shouldn't ever had...

Love,
Jenny

Monday, July 26, 2010

Magen,

Hey chicka I owe you the biggest apology.. I swear I did not know that he was still in love..I'm going to say this. I never made him think what you are claiming. He kinda assumed that. Well I'm glad that you understand. Oh and girly we for sure have to hang in a few weeks.

Day 11-The person you miss The Most.

Well out of everyone that I could possibly miss in this world, the person I miss the most is a deceased family friend Ricky who is gone but not forgotten.

Ricky,

I knows its been 2 years since I've seen your face or heard your laugh, but your still in my heart buddy. I find myself often wishing you were here telling me a story, helping me work on a car, watching me race, or in general just here. Your death came as the biggest shock in the world to me, and Uil wasn't fun like I promised you it would be. That was because we went to eat at cc's Pizza shortly after day one and in the Restraunt to Cowboys' were talking about a Waggnor cowboy being killed..Rick I remember sitting there shaking going I hope its not one that I know. I got home and mom told me in the car before we got back to the house that you'd passed away..Rick I broke down, and to this day remember sitting on my bed and letting the tears flow. You'd always been there for me and I didn't know what I was going to do without you. Well you know what two years later, I can say my first mower race when I had a little slip up I felt someone push my shoulders back down, I to this day think it was the angel of you watching over me. I know that even though your not here in presense. You are here in my heart telling me never forget who I am, that being the little girl that loves cars, and proving the boys wrong..I miss you Ricky..Rest in Piece.

Love always ,
Baby Sis

Wow over my life there have been so many people that have passed away that I wish I could talk to, and explain how everything is going and how lifes been. There isn't a day honestly that goes by that I don't wish I had a phone to heaven so I could talk to them. These people are my Mima, Pipa, Uncle Blackie, Johnny , Jackie, and Little Rick..I miss all you guys.

Dear Mima,

Hi how have you been...Miss you alot. I have so much to tell you, but I think you already know alot of it. I had blast at my senior prom. I had the perfect dress, and the perfect jewelry, your pearls. I graduated in the top ten of my class like you said I always would. I'm going to Berea College, 17 hours away from home. At this point in time I really need you here. I'm sure that you would be the one calling daddy and calming him down, as his baby girl leaves. I want to say thanks so much for believing in me, and I wish you were here to see the women I have become..Miss you, love you..wish I could give you a hugs

Love
Jenny

Dear Pipaw..

Um I thought if I could talk to you it would be easy well its not. Are you still having those Jenny fits. I have great news for you though. I'm going to Ky for college and gonna take a visit to Franks Lodge, if you remember that. I also went fishing the other day. And guess what I'm not a jinks anymore I've gone fishing 4 or 5 times and have actually caught fish not turtles. I guess being your granddaughter has come in handy. Love you bunches and miss you every day.

Love,
Jenny

Uncle Blackie,

The thing I want to tell you is that realistically I miss you. I owe it too you for how far I have gotten. My love of Science had to come from you. I hope you know that I was a NASA aerospace scholar and my intended major is Biology in your honor. Thanks for everything love and Miss you.

Love,
Jenny

Dear Johnny,

As I sit here writing this I'm nearly in tears as I remember all the great times that we have had together. From riding in the kushman to silver fox snowcones...I've wanted to tell you that about 2 years ago I got into the craziest sport possible mower racing. I wish you could see how great it was...Twenty five to Fifty miles per hour on a mower is a blast..I know your thinking I don't think so baby girl..But Johnny your sunshine, has had a great 2 years.

Love ya
Jenny

Jackie,
Were do I start with well thanks for you for getting me into motors and all that stuff. Because I got into the craziest sport ever mower racing. Jackie I miss you with all my heart , because my mower needs a muffler system..lol. Well I'm going to college in Biology, to find a cure for cancer. That was kinda influenced by you..Well Love ya buddy.

love always,
Jenny

Dear Rick,

This is the hardest thing in the world for me to do..You left this world way to quick, and your death came as an utter shock to me...I don't know why it happened other than it was Gods plan for you. I can say that as I'm heading off to college there are times I really wish my Bubba was here. When I started packing up my room I found the set of Mardi Gras Beads you gave me the Cruise Night before you passed away. I broke down honestly, I'm not sure if it was from giggles or what from remember your face going ,....''Oh not you don't girly heres your set DONT You do that.'' Or maybe it was the giggles from remembering my only trip to the club before you passed away. I know that you were always there for me and I honestly believe right now that your flying over my head telling me don't..Every Night I wish on a star that you see me and the girl I've become..

lOVE YOU
Jenny

P.s. Bubba I've been racing mowers can you say fun.

Your Jellybean,
Jenny Sue

Childhood Memories.

So I have decided to make a note about some of those hilarious memories of my childhood.

Number 1- Memory number one is my most cherished memories probably, it involves my oldest brother Momo and a fishing trip gone horribly wrong. One January about the age of five, Mowmow took me fishing with him. It was a fun trip, the fish seemed to be biting, or atleast on his pole they did. Well sometime during the course of the trip I decided that I had to pee. Mowmow since the fish were biting wasnt' really willing to go home, so he tells me to hang it off the dock and let loose, well he wiggled the dock or something and I fell into the freezing cold lake. He got me out of the water and ran me home, the whole time I was screaming i want my momma momma momma..I want my momma momma momma. I can only imagine how big of a pain in the ass I am to him. But he best know that I do love him.

Number 2- This memory involves both of my older brothers, and a little thing called snipe hunting. My brothers one day at the age of 5 convinced me that they were taking me snipe hunting. Well lets just say that this was a brothers way to be mean. Chaz and Tyler, took me into the woods. Made me stand on a rock, gave me a plastic bag, and taught me the snipe call. ''Here Snipe.'' Well, the boys would then go hide in the bushes, and let me stand there looking stupid for about 30 minutes..Then would run at me to scare me, and go what you didn't catch any..Needless to say it took about 8 more years til I realized that they weren't really real. Wow, the things that my brothers did to me.

Number 3- Involves my Aunt She and a visit to my Mimaw and Pipaws for one Christmas. Aunt She brought me a purple sweat suit, and I was playing in the Nativity scene that my grandpa always put up. Well my Aunt Came out and saw me in the new sweatsuit playing in hay. Needless to say she threatened to whoop my but. The one and only time that she ever has...I think 15 years later she would still do it If i needed her too. Love you Aunt She.

Number 4- This memory is one that was recently brought back up after a fishing trip. During the fishin trip I caught a fish. Normally I never catch the fish I catch turtles. Which brings us to the Memory. Years ago I went fishing with my Pipaw at his cabin, we went fishing at the lake. The first time I throw in my hook he goes ''Don't you catch that turtle.'' Well, I caught that turtle and he showed me how to take care of them, and we ended up catching about 14 more that summer. Sometimes I wonder if hes up there fishing at a turtle free lake..lol

Number 5- Also has to do with Pipaw, but it also involves my Mimaw too. When I was little I didn't like the outside of oreo cookies. I only wanted the inside. Well Pipaw told me too lick the cream out of them and put them back in the cookie Jar. Well Mimaw, caught on and got supper mad. Aww that still makes me smile Anytime I get oreos or anything like that I lick the center out then eat the cookie.

Number 6- Is of Mimaw herself. I rememeber going to her house every year before Christmas and helping set up the Christmas Village, and take it down on my birthday every year, and the nativity scene. It had been years since I set up the village with her, but we did this year for my last year home for Christmas and let me tell you. Somehow, it was like she was there making sure I didn't screw up as I put it out.

Number 7- Involves all my family and a lake Kemp Party- Hmm what to say about that one other than Good music, Good drinks, Dancing with waggnor cowboys, and well we wil just let that one ride.

Number 8- Next memory involves my Granddad on my Moms side. Any time I go to church with them or anywhere Granddad buys the Green Wrigleys and trys to argur that there is a difference between it and the White. Thats one argument I hope never ends. Also on this one I will add this is the Grandad that calls me Kelly Bundy. This is because of how I act sometimes.

Number 9- I'm going to say is riding in the Bee for cruise night and Jackie Burke kicking his own grandkids out so I could Ride. That also was the first year that I got to hang out with Melinda my cousin.

Number 10- Is probably the hardest to talk about but one of the best. All I really can say about this one is Johnny Dennis- Silver fox snowcones and grape ones.

Number 11- This memory involves a cruise night. The one before my tentch grade year to be exact. Normally i would have been at the snocone stand, but Johnnny had died. So we spent cruise night at Ricky's one of my dads friends shop. Well, there were alot of people there, we made burgers, watched old cars pass by, and just hung out. Sometime during the night my brother and some other guys started throwing Mardi Gras Beads. Well, Ricky beign the guy that he was..''Like an older bro'' Gave me my set. So that I would not flash any guy, so he wouldn't have to beat anyone.'' I still have that set of beads, and you know that is something tht I wont' ever forget.

Number 12- We were all at the Cotton Boll to hear my brother Tyler sing. Well I was dancing with Fred on the floor when Frankie the bouncer made a comment about me. Right behind my dad and Ricky. They ended up puting the bouncer on the table. Needless to say that I am protected and guess I will always bee.

Number 13- Involves my little cousin Dally. Our Grandparent took us out to eat, well Dally spilt drink all over me. Needless to say I was mad but thats what life is like with little cousin. Love ya Dally.

Number 14- Next in line. Would have to be my Aunt Stinky and her house shoes for Christmas every years. I think the list includes- Bunnies, catipillars, monkey's monkey toes..

Number 15- Gabby the cousin- there is lots I can say when it comes to you but lets go with this my favorite memories of you are the ones that you were always here when I needed you, and you telling me not to cry at Mimaws funeral.

Number 16-Bethann my favorite memory of you is one of the first times I got to meet you, you cme in for Thanksgiving, and i couldn't get over the fact that you were another graddaughter in my Pipaws life.

Number 17- Aunt Kay- My one memory of you is the fact that you always brought your puppies with you too mimaw and pipas, and you made my daddy eat Pea salad one time..lol

Number 18- Is a memory that is all my own and its the first mower race I was supposed to race. I worked so hard on my mower, but when we got to the track it wouldn't start. so I raced a stock huffy and won my first trophy ever.

Number 19- Involves Mower racing but in good way. April 24, 2010. I went to the races at our local speedways to Meet Larry Benning, Jon Lewman, and Jon's Son Jeff. Well, I had talk to these guys for months on Heymow.com a website for mower racers, and had gotten alot of racign advice from them. Well, that day I got to meet them and let me tell you I was in for the biggest surprise of my life. Larry, and Jon were both amazing, and great racers. They were really great guys and like heros to me when it comes to mower racing. Jeff however, that little dude was just weird. If your trying to impress a girl that likes mower racing, I would not talk about Charactitures that you draw...but that was a great exprecience and meeting Bear and Rooster is one that I want ever forget.Can't wait to hang with you guys at the all American.

Number 20- Is Simple May 28, 2010 I graduated and had my friends and Family there..Momma, Daddy, Momo paige, Heather, Kylie , Gabby Eric, Mimi Granddad, Stinky..Thanks for being there..Love ya.

Day Seven- Someone You'd Like to Meet.

Wow I've never really thought about who I want to meet.Because I already have great people in my life. But if I had a choice I'd say I'd like to meet my hero Mr. George Herrin.

Dear George,
Hi how are you. I'm Jenny, but you already know that. I just want to say thank you for all that you have done for me in the sport of mower racing. God knows, if it wasn't for the advice or a couple of you mower racers i'd never have gotten to race. Well , I can't wait to meet you in November. Your my hero and always will be.

Love
Jenny.

P.S. I finally figured out why they call you super man, you come in and save a girls racing dreams when some have said it would never be..Love ya buddy.

Day 2 - Your Crush

Crush-
You probably know me,but not like i want you to. I have liked you since that first day, we taled and found out we both plan on going to the same college. But if you don't know who you are think of it this way, I'm probably not going to admit it to you, because my first year of college mindset is supposed to be of all work and no play. But, crush if given the chance i do want to become you friend because in all truthfulness you are my complete other half, just from your work ethic, your beliefs, and so forth. Oh and don't forget the whole same allergy bit, but we wont go there. Well Have a nice life..and know I would so date you if given the chance.

Friday, July 9, 2010

Day 1- Your Best Friend

I have quiet a few ''close friends'', but I've always heard the saying that you should only have 3 best friends. So here's my three.

Amy Marie Picklesimer- Wow what is there to say about you, we met our kindergarten year of school, and at first we werent' friends. I remember having fights with you because one time you threw rocks at me, and then you were always over achieving when it came to reading. Well then Ariel Jennelle Brundeje moved in and somehow she brought us together in like 2nd grade and we've been friends ever since. Yes there was the tme in Fourth Grade we didn't talk for like a whole month, but I think we outgrew that pretty quick. Well that was til 8th grade and Toni came into our lives. That my friend was one of the worse years of our lives. We argued like Cats and Dogs. But we got over that, and have spent the past four years as good friends. Amy, I know I don't talk to you as much as I should but I love ya girly, and your so going to be my Maid of Honor one of these days when I get married.

Tasha Rose Patterson- Girly you are like a sister. We've been together and good friends since my seventh grade year in school. We have been into the same thing, and we have helped each other out in many different areas. I know I haven't seen you in two years but Tasha your still my best friend, and without you I know my life would have been in turmoil many times over the past 4 years. Without you i'd never have chosen my college or anything like that. I love and miss ya sister, hope to see you soon. And I best be invited to the wedding when you and John get married.

Carrie Ann Howe- Ok I know this is probably going to surprise you but I've always thought you were really cool. I met you in Like first grade, and you got me in trouble because of Tyler Freaking Kinnibrugh. I didn't become friends with you til your freshmen year, but I'm going to say now that I'm glad I did you are a really great friend, and I appreciate all that you do for me. From getting into Literary Criticism Walking around the mall for hours tryin to find a pair of shorts that wasn't going to get me into to much trouble, and mostly letting me talk my problems out because those have really been insane over the past 2 years. Without you I probably would have been driven to some extremes that I didn't need to be.Oh and prom this year wasn't bad, but it wasnt' that great. and thanks for letting me tak mower racing. I love ya Carrie, and glad your my friend stay in touch.

To all three of you, IN some way you have touched my life and thats so amazing. I love you guys and expect to keep in touch because thats my biggest thing.

Keeping Faith- College is stressful already.

Well guys I'm graduated, it doesn't get much better than that. Ok so here goes I know right now as I'm packing for college there is so much going through my mind. Am I ready to leave home. I think I am, but I'm far away from my parents. Wow did I really have all these childhood memories. Yes, but i'm ready to make more. And most of all, will i keep my values that my parents worked so hard to instil. I know this is probably the biggest thing that is running through my mind. This whole getting ready for college thing is getting better though, I'm bringing up stuff that I haven't seen in years, and that is probably the hardest thing ever. Sorting stuff out, I found stuff that belonged to my grandparents, and friends that have passed. Honestly, that was sad how in my mind, could i keep this stuff for so many years. I guess its this simple though life gives you people and takes them when you don't need them anymore...and as long as that happens.I know life will go great.

Prom at the S-club





On April 10th we had our Junior Senior Prom...We dressed up and just had a fun night. Everyone had some great entrances. I came in in Kyle Winns Semi..Escorted by my dad and I can say that was the best thing ever..even if he did get a little teary as he helped my down out of the semi..I thought I'd share some pics.

I've waited this long for what.


Just something I wanted to share.

We finally have some Knowledge in our heads and Many Miles on our shoes. We are just about ready to pursue any Journey that we see fit to choose.There are approximately 41 days til we are finally set free to go. For this day we have waited a long time and our senioritis is starting to show. Through the past 13 years our class has over come alot. But I think we can all admit things are lookin up as its nearing our time to shine...Somehow though I can honestly say I never really expected to spend 113, 880 hours of my life. In school working my but off for a piece of paper, a handshake, and a heartfelt goodbye...--Senior cap and Gown pic day...April 16,2010

So Texas!

Well, we all know that I race lawnmowers its one of those sports that i just absolutely love because of the since of family that is involved with the sport! Anyway I was talking to a fellow racer Jon Lewman that I'd been friends with for about two years asking him about what he thought I should do on some machine upgrades.Well, he answered my questions all which were kinda dumb and before I hung up the phone I say "Ok THank you so much sir." Jon takes a deep breath and he asks "Did you just call me sir kids in this day aren't supposed to do that!" Honestly I was dumbfounded I was using manners that had been instilled in me since birth so why was he so suprised! I answered him with a Yes sir thats how I was raised! " He went on to Say that it must be some crazy Texas thing! All I have to say with that he is from Kansas about 10 hours away what in the world is wrong with our country if kids can't use manners... I guess i'll never know and if using manners is a Texan thing I think thats one think I'll have to take with me to Kentucky for college.

Decisions Decisions Decisions.


Ok here goes! I've created this blog after Mrs. Mcadams suggested it. So my friends and Family could see what I was up to after I got to college. So here goes so far. Most of you know which colleges I've been accepted into. Macmurray College in Jacksonville Illinois and Berea College in Berea Kentucky. Well I have to choose which one and so far its the hardest choice I've had to make in my life that I still haven't made yet. Macmurray is offering me around 16 thousand a year plus grant to cover my tuition. This does not cover the whole cost of my tuition, and its 13 hours away from home. While In Kentucky Berea College is offering full tuition, nothing would be out of my pocket except for books and lab fees, but it is 17 hours away from home. Both have the same programs that I want to get into biology then Oncology. I just don't know what to choose. Since Mid -November this has bothered me. The way I see it that either choice will change my life forever. I know alot of people have told me to follow my heart. Thats hard for me to do though because my brains are telling me to go to Berea so less was out of pocket, but my heart is saying Macmurray where I think I'd be happier. For those of you thinking that I should flip a coin right about now, I don't think so. Out of 50 tosses Berea one by 25..Well I guess I'll post on here when I finally decide...Thanks for reading everyone.
