Where am I?

Where am I? If we want to get technical I am in Aurora, NE. Where we strive on Husky football, achievement, and the agriculture life.
Aurora is known as a great town.  Whoever you talk to knows of Aurora and they know only one thing about it, excellence.  We are known for our athletes, our entrepreneurs, and the amazing courthouse that is downtown or it could be uptown, depending on where you live I guess.  I love Aurora and I can't picture myself being anywhere else.  I mean who wouldn't want to live in a small town that isn't to big or to small.  Yes, there is the usually drama of so and so did this and so and so did that, but I love it here. 
The one thing that everyone gets excited for in Aurora is the fair! The fair now has concerts, a figure 8 race, the carnival rides, the exhibition building.  Its a fun time where everyone can get together and go out for the night with all their friends.  I know that for me, the fair is a time that I can go out with my friends and see everyone that went off to college the year before.  But I have noticed that once you hit a certain age a lot of people stop going.  I plan to go forever though.  I love the rides, especially the octopus. That has to be my favorite.
My family recently bought another house.  On it is four acres of crap, literally.  There are three houses, a huge shop, a playhouse with electricity, and two things that I'm not really for sure what they are because they are moldy and about to fall down.  Now, don't get to excited.  We don't plan to move into the house for a while, I'm just hoping that I get a room in it because by the sounds of it, I might have to share with someone. 
Right now the plan is to have my graduation party out there, and by the looks of how fast the shop is getting fixed up I think that it can happen.  Have I ever mentioned how excited I am to graduate?  Next year I plan to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) and become a Husker!! Exciting, isn't it? Anyways, back to my new house.  
My dad is planning to move his business, Sanderson Construction Company, out there.  We have already moved all of his stuff form his old business in Hastings to Aurora, and the stuff is kept out in a storage shed in the storage centers when you come into town by Interstate Battery.  Just yesterday they got some offices built inside the shop and here soon, the shop will be done and my dad's business will officially be Aurora. 

This is my house.  1017 16th ST, right along the good old highway 14.  I love this house and am sad that we will be moving here within the next year, but don't tell my mom that.  I try to act all like I don't care, but I do.  This house holds so many memories that I can't imagine going into some old house that I have never slept in before and try to live there. If I had to pick a favorite room in my house now, it would most definitely be my room.  I can never get enough of my room.  It is like "my space" so to say.  My mom loves the vine on the side of the house.  Honestly, the vine doesn't mean much to me, but if my mom loves it, I can't really say anything about it.  The one thing I hate about this house is backing out onto the highway.  I have had times where I will seriously wait for ten minutes just to be able to back out.  The place that I usually go to when I leave my house is the school.  Which is where I spend almost 100% of my time.  

I attend Aurora High School better known as AHS.  I think that I have spent more time at this school that I have at home.  As much as I have hated it I would never of wanted to attend any other high school.  I love my Aurora High School and all that it has to offer.  My favorite thing I think would have to of been all the nights I spent cheering on Aurora Husky boys during those Friday nights at the football games.
                                     
I have spent many nights in the freezing cold routing on the AHS boys of fall and it has been some of the best memories that I could of asked for.  My cheer girls have been the girls that I could count on for absolutely anything and I will love them forever.  Nebraska is about football and at first I wasn't really all about football, and not I am a crazy fanatic of it!
The last place that I want to describe to you is my state.  Nebraska: The good life. 
Nebraska has amazing so many amazing things about it. For instance, its not always cold but its not always hot, we have four seasons, we get to have lots of farming, and of course we have a lot of farm boys.  Farm boys are by far the cutest thing that you could find in Nebraska.  They have their life set to work on the farm, they are tan, and have muscles.  If I could choose, I would definitely marry a farm boy.  Enough about them though, more about Nebraska.  I will not be the type to move away after I graduate, I will not go to college somewhere else except in Nebraska, and my kids will grow up with the life that I have grown up with.  I have been raised with the best life ever and I hope my parents know that I am so happy with how they raised me and where they raised me.  
Like Steve Manstedt said, "I will never forget Nebraska. Those were some of the best times of my life."

  2. Liz,

    I love that you really truly focused on your place! You really zeroed in on your house (or home) and what it means to you, but also your school and how it has been in your life. I promise not to tell your mom that you will miss the house, but who can blame you? It's home! Nice work!
