Hawaii anyone?

My Uncle Andy said that he would take to me Hawaii for Christmas as long as he gets to wear this wonderful little swim suit below. Keep in mind that this is NOT my uncle's body I just thought I'd give you a better picture than what was in my head! Trust me it isn't pretty!!! Needless to say I declined the offer!



Merry Christmas everyone!!

Updating

Update #1.

Finals Finals Finals.... That's all that has been going on for this week. I actually kind of like this week because there is no scheduled classes just tests which take maybe an hour of my time. I like my schedule. I have one final everyday and 3 out of my 5 finals aren't to bad. I have two down and three more to go. My first one was harder than the professor described it and I haven't talked to one person yet that has gotten higher than a C so it was a toughie but didn't really bring my grade down, luckily. My athletic training final I was thinking that it was going to be hard, and I didn't have a whole lot of motivation for this one because it's no longer my major but I still did good and it actually brought my grade up! Yay!! I have three more to go tomorrow, Wednesday, and Thursday. Thursday's will be hard but the other two are CAKE! Then I'm COMING HOME!! HOORAY!

Update #2.

Kate and I just rearranged our room. It took a lot of thinking and a lot of help from the girls on our floor but we like the change. We feel like we now have more room which is nice. There is just one problem. We used our futon to jump up into our beds now we aren't quite sure how we are going to get up. It's a big challenge without it there. But it's also a good thing we aren't doing that anymore because when we moved the futon we realized that from jumping up there we had bent the frame. UT OH. It's not a big deal but if we would have done that all next year I'm pretty sure we could have said goodbye to our nice expensive futon.

Update #3.

I am not sending out Christmas cards due to lack of funding and lack of time so I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Update #4.

Two weeks ago I got to go to another Colts game! :) I went with Steve, his cousin Brandon, and Phyllis (who I worked with at the Frog), Steve's Sister, and her friend. Our seats were amazing. First row on the ten yard line, right were the colts run out. Reggie Wayne actually looked right at us NO JOKE. Probably because Brandon was yelling at Dallas Clark for not using two hands to catch the ball. HA. It was a very fun game though.


Phyllis and I at the game, with our Reggie Wayne jersey's on!






Update #5.

Nineteen!

Hard to believe that I have been on this earth 19 years. It feels like just yesterday I was playing with my baby dolls... I'm getting so old! HA! Just playing :) On the other hand I did have a wonderful birthday even though I wasn't at home. My birthday was acutally on the 2nd but I didn't want to blog on my brithday I had to much to celebrate!


I woke up and the room was all decorated. With Happy Birthday posters everywhere and streamers. The night before Kate and I both slept on the futon out of pure laziness. So we feel asleep watching a movie and I woke up at 1:00 to shut the t.v. because it was annoying listening to the main screen over and over again. When I shut that off little did I know Kate was standing right above me hanging streamers. Not only that but I cut off her only source of light and the sound was blocking any sounds she could have made. I was oblivious.

I was woken up by many text messages one particually are 6:00a.m. by my AUNT ANGIE who's birthday was also the same day as mine. Then my dad called then my mom so I figured I should get up cuz it was never going to end. I wake up and I had brought back my birthday brownies from home. Since I wasn't at home on my brithday when I went on break we celebrated my birthday then... anywho... We only put two candle in the brownie cuz they were hard on top so we couldn't get the candles in there it was to much work.
I made my wish and blew out my candles.... and my birthday wish did come true. It was to have a great birthday even though I wasn't at home to celebrate it. Kate got me a few gifts.. like the shirt I am wearing in this picture.

She also made this collage for me of all the good times I've had 1st semester and some in the summer. It was really cute. After that I go to check my email and I had two wonderful suprises! 1. My one and only class for that day was cancelled due to an illness of my professor. Shucks! 2. The TIS bookstore had a present for me. So I went to pick it up and it was a free t-shirt and 20% off all my purchases for the day. Look at that. I was excited!
So then Kate and I went to get our nails done. The last place we went did a horrible job so we drove around and found a great place. I LOVE to get my nails done and the lady was so nice and kept complimenting me by the end of the manicure my head almost didn't fit out the door. I also got my eyebrows waxed. Then I ate SUBWAY for lunch. Yum Yum!
After all of that fun with the Kate I made my way over to Steve's house. I get there and he gives me my gift and it was this really pretty jewlery box.


When you open it up it sings this really pretty melody. I taped a picture of him and I on the inside. Inside I also put the necklace that my parents got me which I LOVE! I tried to take a picture of it but it didn't turn out very well. It's a single pearl necklace with a tiny little diamond above it. Its really pretty.



Last but not least... Baily (Scot's dog, steve's roomate) got me a gift. Lady and the Tramp! A great doggie chick flick we could watch together how thoughtful. Thanks Baily!


Steve then took me out to dinner. We went to Flat Top Grill. It was really good they made stirfry for you. You pick what you want and put it in a bowl and they'll cook it for you. Then we went to see a movie, Role Models.. it was pretty funny.
All in all it was a great day!!

On Wednesday night my friends from highschool all got together again. We met at Eric's house and did a little hot tubbing, a little camp fire, and some movie watch'n. It was fun to get to see everyone again and catch up on how everyone's college experience is going. It's funny to see how my friends have changed. None for the worse luckily! :)

Formal/Colts

Last Friday night I got the pleasure of going to a formal at Sigma Chi a frat down here. One of my friends asked me to go and I was really excited. Kate and Taylor(roomie next year) helped me get ready.

My date was Joe Hester... he picked me up with two white roses and we picked up two other couples and went out to eat at Johny Carinos. I had never been there but its a really good Italian restaurant. Then we headed off to Sig Chi where they decorated the basement all up it was awesome. It was raining all night so that kind of stunk but we made the most of it and danced in the rain which was really fun! Below is Joe.

Sunday I got the wonderful opportunity to go to the colts game! Yay! Last summer Sean (who has a lake house on Wawasee so we hung out all summer) promised me that he would take me to a Colts game and that he did. We had alot of fun before after and at the game. This was our view.. we were right about where the players run out. section 132 row 23 it was nice. We even got on t.v. Kate was watching back at the dorms and she said she saw us so that was kind of cool.

My dear friend Kindra was also at the game. She had bought tickets for her boyfriend Jordy for his birthday. So we met up to say hey. I hadn't seen Kb in a long time so it was really great to see her.



After the game Sean and I went back to his house and his mom cooked us dinner. Steak, green bean, fruit salad, rice, rolls, and cookies. It was so nice to have a home cooked meal.. it was so delicious. On the way home Sean and I sang the whole way home, and if anyone has heard me sing it's not a pretty sound. But it was still fun we laughed the entire time. Well that was my weekend in a nut shell.. Saturday night was the blog before this in case you were wondering. :)
Have a good week to all!

The Goshen Crew

Last night I ventured over to a party where I knew some friends would be. A house where I knew there would be a good time because of the people that were there. The crew from Goshen, Indiana. If you don't know, I had a great friend who passed away this pass summer in a car accident (I have a previous blog about him) but anywho... My friend Josh, who passed away, was suppose to be going to Ball State this year. He obviously never made it that far. He was suppose to be living with Ryan (on the left) and TJ (on the right). This was the house I was at. We had a great time together having fun and doing whatever. Josh and I always talked about this moment.. just being at the same school hanging out and having fun together. Since Josh wasn't here in this moment I got to be with many people that were really close to him. His friends from highschool and I shared memories and had a great old time. It was fun but kind of sad at the same time. I just felt like Josh should have been there and it that it just wasn't that same with out him. After tonight everything just hit me again. How I miss my best friend, how everything we planned is now going on without him, wondering why this happened to him, it just doesn't seem fair right now, it doesn't make any sense.

Joe was another great friend of Josh's and he was here at Ball State for the weekend to visit which was kind of ironic that this was the weekend I went over to Ryan and TJ's house. Joe and I experienced Carter Hot Dogs for the first time tonight which is a Ball State tradition. That was fun. After seeing, hanging out with, and reminiscing with Ryan, TJ, and Joe about the good times with Josh the night seemed good. I think about those memories with Josh and know that they will never be forgotten. Josh was one amazing kid and friend. He will always be in my heart. I miss you buddy!
