My full name is Deborah Lee Arndt and I am 13 years old. My birthday is July 14. I want to be an author when I grow up, hopefully one that is success- ful. I like singing, writing, and drawing cartoons. I also like horses and mountain biking.

I have two sisters, one named Heather and one named Erin. Heather is very nice. She is seventeen and will be 18 in April and graduate from Helena High School in June. My other sister is a pain. (Click here to go to her webpage.)

I live in Creston, Montana. Montana is a nice place to live if you like rural areas and quiet and peace. I'm used to towns so when we moved to Creston, which has a population of about 400, it took me a little while to adjust. (Click here to view the land from a camera off our front deck.) Montana is very snowy during the winter, but El Niño has made it actually rather pleasant. During the summer, it can get up to as hot as 95 degrees.

This is a picture of me with my horse, Amy. Amy is a two-year-old Arabian filly, and she and I have an excellent relationship. My mother and I are studying the techniques of Monty Roberts and hope they will come in useful when we start(a.k.a. break) my horse.
