No, I will not follow Hitler!
Hi, I thought I'd shock myself and update. Whoa.
So, today was interesting. My nursing class went to NURSE'S DAY ON THE HILL. Which means a bunch of nurses go to the capitol and lobby for nursing related issues like trying to get rid of mandatory overtime. To my surprise however, the whole day was basically about universal health care for our country. The people speaking were very influential about this and they made universal health care sound great, therefore, my classmates all started cheering, chanting, singing, yes singing, and holding up signs. And I, as usual, was not in agreement with everyone else. I need to know more about things, especially things I'm pretty sure I don't agree with, before I decide to chant about them and make signs.
As I watched my classmates cheer and hollar about something they really don't know much about, the word Hitler came to mind. Lol, sorry, not funny. But I always wonder how all those Germans followed Hitler when he was so mean and crazy, but I saw today how easily people can follow things just cuz it sounds good or because whoever is talking about it is a great and enthusiastic speaker. I know today and the whole Hitler thing are quite different, but you get the point. So yeh, it was interesting. I did not take a sign, or a button, or sing the creepy universal health care song to the theme of Roll Out The Barrel, so corny, wow.
So, my friend Tiffany and I said, ok, enough of this craziness, and we explored the capitol building. This led us to an undergroud hallway which took us to another building. We eventually got outside and found ourselves like 3 blocks away from the capitol. We thought that was quite amusing. Before all this occured we all got to have lunch. So, a few of my friends and I were randomly searching St. Paul on foot for a restaurant. Finally, after no luck, we asked someone who directed us to a mall that had a small food court, it was dece. After this my jaw started to ache quite badly (it's still not back to normal) so I was greatful that it was soon time to go. I slept all the way to Wabasha.
Tonight I did lots of things, I did homework, I read my bible, I talked to Dad, Casey, and Heather and Eric.
And of course I talked to my amazing fiance, of whom I am so very proud and so very honored to be engaged to :)
Then, Casey and I went to McDonalds and had a lil' "shnackie" Then we watched the floor near us get swept three times in a row, by different people, hahhahh, talk about a bad use of their time. Maybe Casey and I were so interesting that they had to keep finding ways to come to where we were sitting, yeh, that's probably why. Then I took lots of pictures with Hut's camera and she appreciated it, a lot. Now, I am drinking old pop and considering watching part of a movie, even though I have to get up in about 8 hours.
I feel very good about today. I feel like I leared a lot today about a lot of things and I was very productive and even got to see my roomies for a while.
I am only sad cuz I missed Brice and Megan's calls and it's too late to call them back, although, knowing the two of them, they'll be up for hours!
MMMkay, love you all dearly
Bye friends.

Spring Break and Such
Hello all.
Well I would like to tell you about my spring break. I will be very brief because people see a long blog and get overwhelmed and never read it, at least a lot of people do.
Mom took me to Chicago!!!! It was a blast and I'd do it again. We shopped all over, saw Blue Man Group, the muscial Wicked, and Lake Michigan. Blue Man and Wicked were awesome! We took taxis, went to the 90th something floor of the John Hancock Building to look out, ate Chinese and Italian food, and went to a late movie. The lake tried to eat my sandals, we got dissed by a lady at Saks Fifth Avenue cuz she didn't think we were rich enough to be there, and we sneaked in a picture at Tiffanys & Co. It was very very fun!!! Thank so much for taking me mom! The drive wasn't so bad, we passed through 4 toll things where you have to pay $ to pass! We also went to a cool outlet mall outside of Chicago. I wanna go again! I'd have to say that Wicked was the hightlight and I didn't even read the book.
After this my spring break took a quick and painful downhill. I got my wisdom teeth out! I didn't think it would be as bothersome as it was. Well, I mean, the actual procedure was fine, zero pain, but then I was a chipmunk for like four days, which is just kinda a distubing/achy feeling. My mouth hurt semi-bad during that time too. Then when it was just starting to get better, I got a dry socket in one of them. So, I had to go back to the hosptial and experience the most painful couple minutes of my life, seriously, no pain has ever been worse, not really even close. The dude squirted water down the hole where my tooth was, yes squirted water, that's all, but it felt like he was hammering a large stick or hunk of wood down there. I was like, um, "was that a shot?" and he's like no, I just squirted water. I guess the pain can be explained by the fact that the water was squirted onto an open bone and nerves down in the socket. So, yeh, then he put a gauze down there with pain killing stuff on it and told me I'd come back once more to do it all again......"super". However, when I came back a had a new doctor who was extrememly kind and told me he'd be careful and it like didn't hurt at all, granted my tooth was a little better by this time, but still he was very nice. Now, I squirt salt water down there on my own and hopefully the pain that is still there, will be done soon.
However, I have another problem. I jaw won't open. It sorta will but not good enough and it hurts like crapola. The doctor said to stetch it, massage it, and put warm towels on it. I'm stretching it like crazy because he said if I don't I could lose mobility in it and I'm not losing mobility in my jaw. Because at this rate, I will never get to bite into hamberger again.
Ok, do this, see how many fingers you fit in your mouth, like stack them up on each other vertically. Casey and Heather can do four, I can do two and it hurts!!!!!
To add to the fun of my pain, I had my first two capstone clinicals this past week: Monday 7p to 7a and Tuesday 7p to 7a (which got cut short) So yeh, staying up all night is not enjoyable. I was very confused. I slept during the day and went back at night and thought it was morning. Horrible! I have to do it agian too, eh, blah. Oh well, it's almost over.
This weekend has been fun, Friday Casey and I went to Culv's and the movie Failure to Launch which was good. She also forced me to watch Son in Law, and I actually loved it! Saturday we watched our WSU basketball boys win the NCAA division II national championship! It was amazing, I am so proud :) wowee.
Then, last night Kellie and Jill came and slept over, it was kinda a spur-of-the-moment thing. We went to Erbs and watched Potter IV. Today I showed them campus and Garvin Heights and we went to Culvs. I am so not going out for supper, too much lately!!! Me have no monies!!!!
So, the girls left and now I've been doing homework. At 6, I have a group meeting. What shall I do until then, hmmm, I could start some stuff due next week......nah.
Okay, love you all!!! Have a good week, it's almost April! Yay, summer is coming!
Love, Brianna

Hello. I am a blog slacker this week, but better late then never...
Last weekend was very fun!!!
On Friday I hung out with Casey and Amie and we went to Chula, mmm, there's nothin' better. We also watched Yours, Mine, and Ours, cute movie. Then I came home to see my fiance after he got done working. We went to the house of his math friend and we stayed there for quite awhile talking to him and his girlfriend, they were very nice people! Then Chris and I had some pop at Perkins, cuz it was the only place still open for the crazies like us.
Saturday morning Mom and I went to Cozy and Whit's house (friends of the family) They taught mom and I how to make Lefse! My family (mom's side) has been having lefse at Christmas and such holidays since I was born, so my mom become very interested in how to make it from stratch and I was too. So, we made it from stratch, who knew the main ingredient is potatoes? cool. Once you make the dough you ball it up and roll out in the balls into about 14inch circles and then put then on a big lefse pan and they cook pretty quick. Then we ate some warm, which I thought was really good. Next, Mom and I went to Stewartville so I could see my new cousin Grace! Holly (her mom) let my hold Grace instantly, what a little cutie she is, aww. She was so good too. Cara came over a little later to get her maid of honor dress, heehee and we hung out for a bit before I went to Culv's with my fam and to my grandma Hemmer's 70th b-day party. After that I went to Cara's house to watch the Gilmore Girls I missed last week and we went in the hot tub for like 2 hours! Fun fun fun.
Sunday morning Mom, Dad, Chris, and I went to sunday school and then to church and it was good of course. Later, it was just Gav and I and we went to Wendy's for supper right before I left for Winona. Before I came back here though, I felt the need to go to Old Navy and I bought one shirt to wear when it gets nicer out, but it's actually pretty nice out today.
This week is going slow, probably because I want it to be spring break cuz I'm going to Chicago with Mom! whoot whoot. Yesterday I felt extremely blah. I threw up twice in the morning, good to know huh? And my head hurted real bad! So, I did not go to clinical, uh oh! Today I'm not doing much. I'm at work now and I have class 1-3. I should do homework after that. Thursday I have clinical 6-2 and Friday I have a few classes then I'm home free!!!
I hope you are all having a wonderful week and here are some pictures I took from my mom's blog, so if you see her blog, you've seen these, but we had the same weekend, so I guess that's how it goes!!! Thanks mama.

Grace Mae
Oh, I'm so excited. My second cousin Holly (my mom's first cousin) had her second baby a few hours ago! She had a baby girl and they named her Grace Mae. She's 8 lbs 7 ounches and 20 and 3/4" long. My grandma said she was born at 6:28. I got up at 6:20 this morning, so while I taking a shower, she was born, heehee. I don't think they read my blog, but congratulations to Holly and Jake and to Hannah, who's now a big sister!
Something er other and whatnot and so forth
Hello all. I am studying for a test that is tomorrow which I haven't really studied for until now, yikes. But, I need a break. So, I am inspired by Kelsey to tell you all about my clinical today. My story isn't crazy like hers, but it was fun.
Today was my first Pediatrics clinical. I got an eight year old girl. I won't tell ya much about her, since I'm not supposed to, other than that she was so cute and funny. The poor girl has been in the hospital so many times for a problem that will never go away for her, yet she was a happy child. She informed me that today is "opposite day" and she stuck to it. Everything I asked her she answered with the opposite answer of the truth and I fell for it like everytime. She thought she was pretty funny everytime she tricked me. I got to take her into the play room for awhile. She cannot walk right now, so I wheeled her over in her massive bed. We played a few games and colored. She watched Mulan and I learned from a nurse who was in the room when Mulan was on that Donny Osmand sings many of the songs on the movie. I thought that was a fun fact for the day; I never knew, and I always liked the Mulan songs. I thought of my aunt Jodi, cuz she really like Donny!!!
So, it was a successful first Peds clinical. It wasn't overly challenging, but it was good.
Hmm...what else can I say... Hmm..did I write about last weekend? Well, I shall briefly.
I cannot remember the order of the things I did, so I'll just list them:
*went to Walk the Line with cuzzin Megan, it was very good I thought
*made cookies
*helped Chris move to his new home
*went to Gav's b-ball game, they won!
*met with my preceptor at St. Mary's for my capstone and found out that the majority of my shifts will be overnights! wow.
*had a yummy breakfast at Canadian Honkers with mama.
*went to a marriage seminar with Chris, Kelsey, and Jeff, given by Les and Leslie Parrott; It was extremely good!!!
*went to the state gymnastics meet in St. Paul to see Kellie on vault and floor! good job cuzzin.
*went to sunday school and church
*ate lunch at the mall with the peeps (I saw Jenny and Gran, fun!)
*went to Ryan's b-day party for a while, then left to come back to Winona Sunday night
Now, I'm here and I want it to be the weekend. This weekend I'm going to be learning how to make lefse from scratch from Cozy and Whit with mom, whoot!
Ok, wish me luck on taking a test I know nothing for!
Sincerely, Brianna M. Hemmer

Face Lifts and Triple Bypasses
Well, it's Wednesday. On Moday I hung out with my Chris-ance (like fiance, get it, Casey came up with that). We made an art project for his class, it was fun fun fun.
On Tuesday I went to LaCrosse for my pediatrics orientation.
On Wednesday, today that is, I had my last leadership clinical in LaCrosse in outpatient surgery. I admitted a patient and also went to her surgery for fun. She was an older lady who needed her eyelids opened up a bit, it was very interesing. Let me tell ya people, it's amazing what can be done in surgery these days, with all these crazy things, like lazers that cut skin with a light, weird weird. Then I helped discharge her. It was a short day for us, so that actually pretty much took up my whole time.
After that I was preparing to have a busy night of completing things due tomorrow for my first Peds clinical. However, I laid my head down at 3:48, not expecting to sleep, and woke up at like 5:07 or something! Wow. I woke up to my phone ringing. It was one of my clinical classmates telling me clinical got cancelled for tomorrow due to our professor having a family emergency, yikes. So, now I get to sleep in and have a free day! whoot! I shall enjoy it while it lasts!
A bit later Heather and I spent quality time at Culvers. There was a new girl who made our free kids custards. Insted of giving us the litte cup called a "single" she packed the "double" sized cup from the bottom to the top and then added a few more scoops to make it the size of a "triple" She tried then to add the toppings, which didn't really work, since there was no where for the toppings to go. So, insted of a little cup of custard I got a triple size to go a long with the triple bypass I'm gonna need now after eating about 7/8 of it. I'm also gonna need to up my wedding dress one size, if not two. heehee.
Welp, now I am sitting here and I should really clean my beast of a room, it's so annoying how it gets messy everyday, why can't it just stay clean. Papers and clothes everywhere! Well well well, I hope you all have a glorious remainder of the week and remember that God loves you!

Me Likey Weekends
Hello all.
I was home this weekend and it was a fun time. On Friday it was just Mom, Dad, and I. Gavin was at Acquire the Fire. So, the three of us went to West Fire to have a yummy supper and then we played rummy and Mom won. Chris came to visit after work for a bit. On Saturday I went to lunch with Kelsey at Applebees, it was fun to catch up with her. After that Mom and I went to David's Bridal and picked up the bride'smaid dresses which were already in! We dropped the dresses off for Kellie and Heather. Cara and Megan, I have your dresses whenever you're home! Then we went to Khols and Java Detour. Then it was still Mom, Dad, and I and we had a home-made supper that Mom made very yummy. We then decided to go to a movie: Freedomland. It was pretty good, it kept my interest, but it was a bit strange and sad too. Then Mom and Dad went to get Gavin at church after ATF and Chris and I went to Applebees at about 11:30 to have pop! We ended up being there till closing, which is 1am, and we got our pop for free, yay! We were like hmmm, we should come here really late more often, they give ya free stuff! Sunday morning, today, we all went to church and it was great as always. After that everyone went to the mall, my cousins, Chris, grandpa, my fam, everyone! It was fuuuunnn. We sat there for quite awhile talking and such. Chris went to work later and I listened to Mom and Dad talk about my birth and Mom being pregnant with me so I could write about it for an extra credit paper for Maternity. It was fun to here about it all and look at my baby book. Mom and I ate supper at Culver's later on and were able to see Kelsey and sit with Chris on his break. Now, I am back in Winona and I am alone! Sad. Heather will be here soon though. I had a very fun and relaxing weekend hangin' with my family and Chris. Also, I must say congratulations to my cousin Kellie who made it to the state gymnastics competition in bars and vault. She had to get in the top four at sections on these events and she did it! I love you all and I hope you have a wonderful week!

PS: I think I shall change my blog background and copy my mom's, cuz I like it, heehee.

Hut and Brie's Snowy Adventure
It's a blizzard out there! My clinical got cancelled and so did Heather's field experience/work. So, we went to campus and paid tuition and then walked in the blizzard to Hardees! We actually only had to walk about 2.5 blocks to get there. It wasn't super painful, but the snow was blowing in our faces. Then on the walk back, it was still blowing in our faces. We took the bus back to East Lake and now here I am. I need to study now! It was a huge blessing for clinical to get cancelled. One, because it would have been hard to drive back from LaCrosse, two, because I actually got more that 5-6 hours of sleep (I got 9.5!!!), and three, now I have all afternoon/night to study for my test tomorrow and I won't be falling asleep on my book at 10pm, as I would have it I had gone to clinical. The snow is so pretty though, it makes me happy to live in Minnesota. Yeh, it's cold, but it's so pretty and then we get to look forward to warmth in no time. Welp, I have to meet a friend at the library in a couple of hours so maybe I can get some studying done first. Have a wonderful snowy day everyone!

V-DAY
Happy Valentine's Day! (well it was yesterday)
I had a very very lovely Valentine's Day, obviously, since I have a wonderful valentine named Mr. Lewis. Chris came around 1pm and we had some lunch at Erbs. We wanted to go to a 2:15 movie, which I swear the website said it was at, but it wasn't till 4:00. So, we came back to East Lake for a while and gave each other presents. When Chris walked in earlier in the day he gave me flowers. They are the prettiest flowers I've ever gotten. They're red, pink, and white roses and they smell so incredibly good. They fill up my whole room with the smell of roses, it's awesome, I hope they live forever! haha. Chris got me a very cute fuzzy bear that's holding a frame in which he put a picture of him and I. I thought that was a very good idea, it's so cute! Then I had this big box to open and I had no clue what it was. Inside the huge box, he had hidden a little box that said Fred Meyer on it. I was like, oh man, what did he get me?! It looked like a ring box, so I thought it was a ring. When I opened it though, I saw two things and it took me a sec to realize they were earrings! My first pair of earrings! (aside from the ones I got them pierced with ) They are very very pretty. They're white and yellow gold (I thought you'd like them too mom) with diamonds down the middle. I'm so excited from March, when I can actually wear them! Thank you Christopher! So, later we went to the movie Pink Panther. It exceeded my expectations and was very funny, we laughed a lot. Steve Martin is such a crazy man. Then we tried to eat at Jefferson's and Green Mill, but they had long waits since they're the only nice restaurants in Winona. So, we managed to get a spot at Perkins, which was just fine with me. It was yummy. Chris and I played rummy for a while, but he beat me, as usual! He had to leave way too soon, cuz I had to go to bed early, althought I still only got like 5 hours of sleep! (i had to get up at 4:15!) But, the day with him was very fun as always. I am very very blessed to be with such an amazing man!
Well, here are some pictures for you all to look at!

My week in a nutshell (I don't like that "nutshell phrase", but it was necessary)
Ok, so I'm finally gonna update!
Starting with last weekend, which was very fun....
Kelsey invited all her bride's maids (which includes me) along with Heather and Casey to go to a Mary Kay make-up thingy. We put make-up on under the assistance of the Mary Kay lady. It was fun, we all looked so different! Then Cara and I went to David's Bridal to see what they had for bride's maid dresses. We narrowed it down to three that we liked.
It was very spontaneous, but since all my bride's maids were in Rochester, the next day, I had them all come to David's Bridal to see if we'd get so lucky as to be able to pick out a dress! I found out that my favorite one of the three Cara and I liked did not come in Apple, the color I picked out. However, we liked the dress, so I just had them try it on. Turned out, they all liked it too and it looked good on everyone! I looked at the colors it came in and turns out there was a color called wine that I liked just as much if not more than apple, and it looks very good against my wedding dress. So, they all bought it! I was very excited it all worked out so well and so quickly too!
Then we were looking at jewelry and there are very pretty earrings there that I was saying would be fun to wear on the big day. That lead to Heather, Cara, Megan, Kellie, and Jill surrounding me and peer pressuring me to get my ears pierced as most of them have been doing since I've known them, heehee. Mom, Cheri, and Julie were there too and they were like, c'mon, you'll like it!" Lately I was wanting to do it, but just didn't feel like going to get it done. It was a perfect time to do it with all the girls coming with me. So, all 5 of them, plus Mom and I went to piercing pagoda in the mall. Cindy came down from her kiosk and they all watched it happen. So, now I have holes in my ears! I really like it a lot, they're pretttty. It hurts to sleep on though and I'm very excited to change them in a month.
Next, I went home and people came over for my b-day party! Pretty much my whole family was there, minus a few :( It was so fun to see everyone and hang out. I got lots of cool things, everyone is very thoughtful, thank you thank you! Some people, mostly the guys watched the super bowl while the rest of us hung out upstairs. Cara was there too, which was an added bonus. My gran entertained her with burp/gas stories, oh what a Gran! heehee.
I feel like I did more that weekend at home, but what?? Hmm...Mom and I went to When a Stranger Calls and it was scary!
This week Mon-Now (Friday) has been crazy. I started Monday and haven't stopped. I had two tests today, which I've been studying for in chunks all week. I also had two leadership clinicals, both were 5:15-1:30ish on Wed and Thurs. Which means, I got up at 4:15am, yes am, to go to LaCrosse. It wasn't too bad, the worst part is going to bed early. I have to do the same thing next week as well.
I'm in outpatient surgery for my clinical with one other girl from my class, we all got split up for this rotation. I got to admit and discharge a few people yesterday on my own. One guy was very special, he kept making jokes, but they made no sense, so I just nodded and smiled/fake laughed, but then I started laughing for real at his nonsense. Oh the fun. My nurses yesterday were awesome. The one I was with in the morning had me help her admit someone, then she told me she was going to take a break and that the patient who had just arrived was all mine. So, I did everything but the IV start (cuz I'm not allowed) to get her ready for a foot surgery. Then, I got to help her leave later on. It was cool. Next week, the nurses want me to have all the kids getting tonsillectomies that day so I can see what it's like to have a child patient and talk to their parents too. Maybe I can swipe a real nurses' badge to wear so the parents don't freak out when they see "student" on my badge, yikes.
Today I had my two tests and I think they went well. Then I came back here and slugged around for about 2 hours, got groceries, put them away, ate supper, and now I just got out all my stuff to study/do a take home test for pediatrics. Take home tests are not as easy as they seem...but I guess it's still better than in class. As soon as I finish this blog, I am going to study! Yes, on a Friday night. All my roomies are gone and I wanna do this now so I can relax tomorrow, when hopefully I'll be going to Kellie's Big 9 gymnastics meet. I remember when I was in those.....back in the day......
Ok, better get to my stuff. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Love ya!

I got lots of cool things, everyone is very thoughtful, thank you thank you! Some people, mostly the guys watched the super bowl while the rest of us hung out upstairs. Cara was there too, which was an added bonus. My gran entertained her with burp/gas stories, oh what a Gran! heehee.
I feel like I did more that weekend at home, but what?? Hmm...Mom and I went to When a Stranger Calls and it was scary!
This week Mon-Now (Friday) has been crazy. I started Monday and haven't stopped. I had two tests today, which I've been studying for in chunks all week. I also had two leadership clinicals, both were 5:15-1:30ish on Wed and Thurs. Which means, I got up at 4:15am, yes am, to go to LaCrosse. It wasn't too bad, the worst part is going to bed early. I have to do the same thing next week as well.
I'm in outpatient surgery for my clinical with one other girl from my class, we all got split up for this rotation. I got to admit and discharge a few people yesterday on my own. One guy was very special, he kept making jokes, but they made no sense, so I just nodded and smiled/fake laughed, but then I started laughing for real at his nonsense. Oh the fun. My nurses yesterday were awesome. The one I was with in the morning had me help her admit someone, then she told me she was going to take a break and that the patient who had just arrived was all mine. So, I did everything but the IV start (cuz I'm not allowed) to get her ready for a foot surgery. Then, I got to help her leave later on. It was cool. Next week, the nurses want me to have all the kids getting tonsillectomies that day so I can see what it's like to have a child patient and talk to their parents too. Maybe I can swipe a real nurses' badge to wear so the parents don't freak out when they see "student" on my badge, yikes.
Today I had my two tests and I think they went well. Then I came back here and slugged around for about 2 hours, got groceries, put them away, ate supper, and now I just got out all my stuff to study/do a take home test for pediatrics. Take home tests are not as easy as they seem...but I guess it's still better than in class. As soon as I finish this blog, I am going to study! Yes, on a Friday night. All my roomies are gone and I wanna do this now so I can relax tomorrow, when hopefully I'll be going to Kellie's Big 9 gymnastics meet. I remember when I was in those.....back in the day......
Ok, better get to my stuff. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Love ya!

I've Been Alive For 22 Years
Hello everybody. Well, my super fun special day is now over. It is February first and it's my first day being 22. Did you know I'm now working on my 23rd year? It's weird to think of it that way, but technically I have now completed 22 years and I'm starting on my 23rd year, making me 22 years old, plus one day. haha. Therefore I am 22 and 1/365ths years old, which is also 22.00274 years old.
Well, yesterday was very fun! I hung out with my fiance all day. We went to Chula Vista for lunch and then bought some food to make for supper. He also got me the movie What's Eating Gilbert Grape, which I have been looking for, and we found it randomly at Hy-Vee, go figure. Chris made chicken and homemade mashed potatoes for me, it was yum-mee. He also have me a pearl necklace that matches my pearl ring from Christmas, I feel very spoiled. He is bummed because he has something in the mail somewhere for me, it's backordered or something, but it's ok, cuz now I have something else to look forward to! A little later, Megan, Heather, Casey, and my parents (which was a surprise!) came to the apartment and we had delicious cake that Megan made, because she's so good to me! She also got us icecream! Yum yum. We ate and then made magic wands from a kit that Megan bought, heehee, it was fun, it was like out of the little kid's birthday stuff section at Target, but hey, who says that 20-something year old don't like making magic wands! I know I do! We even got Chris to make one, heehee. I opened presents from the girls and before I knew it everyone was gone too fast and that was that. Chris and I played Rummy and I actually won! Poor guy, I beat his butt, hahah, I'm sure he'll beat me many times in the future though, but hey it was my b-day, it's only right that I win : ) Chris and I also went and got pop at McDonalds just for fun, then we just drove around and talked for a while. I ended my wonderful b-day by watching Gilmore at 1:00am, which I had taped earlier. I think I missed some or something because I can't really remember what it was about. Maybe Hut and Casey will watch it with me later, whoot!
Thank you Momma and Daddy for coming to see your big kid in Winona and bringing me super fun balloons, yipyip, I was so glad you came! Although yesterday they scared me like 20 times cuz when ever I move, the air makes my balloons swish around and I think someone is in the room with me! ahhh! Thank you also for the card and monies, which I already used some to buy pop! Yay! I love guys!!! Thank you for making my birthday possible, hehe.
Thank you Christopher for coming and spending the day with me! For the b-day meals, movie, and necklace too! Thanks for being so goofy and making us all laugh and making me happy all day. whoot whoot. I love you!
Thank you cuzzin for all you did! Thanks for the cake and icecream!!!!!!!! Thanks for the pink socks, face masks, fun chap stick (you know me so well! I just used some too), stickers, bath fizzies, and the wand stuff, heehee. Sorry if I forgot something! Also for the awesome card. I just re-read it and I noticed it CWMPCM (cake maker) and I loled. silly. I love you!
Thank you Huttie for the Sponge Bob coloring book and erasable crayons (it just took me like 10 tries to spell erasable, wow) and for hanging out with us even though you had to write a resume! Thanks for the gorgeous card from you and Ben as well. We need to color now, Bish too, since we have quite the collection of stuff now.
Thank you Bish for the Pony coloring book and the new markers! yes, nothin' better than new markers. Now I can choose between Barbie, ponies, and Sponge Bob, yes, I am 22. heehee. Thanks also for decorating with HUT, you made it all look so pretty!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you also for hanging with us last night!!!!
Thanks to everyone for the happy birthday comments and cards I got here and there! I love you all, thanks for the fun day. Here's some pictures for ya all. They're the ones from my mom, mine are still on my camera in my room and I'm at work, but I think they're basically the same. So, here ya go, enjoy!!!!
Heather, Casey, Megan, Chris, and I, right before
blowing out 22 candles. Chris was very hyper, hence
the dramatic face he's making, silly boy.
Mom, Dad, and Me! Love you!
Notice, Megan's pretty cake.
Megan: "I get a letter!"
Casey loves her physics class, here she
is demonstrating the laws of physics
with a balloon and Hut's head.
Chris was being bad, so I had to set him straight!
Heehee, jk. I'm really not mad, nor is he in pain
but it kinda looks that way in the pic.
All of us making magic wands!!!
Also, Megan thinks she's funny cuz
she put tulle on my head.
I put this on here just so you can all see Chris
in a "special" moment. Also, I think Hut is in
mid-sentence.
