BEST BIRTHDAY

Wow! It's amazing- I am finally a young women! 12 years old at last. This is defenitly the best birthday ever!

On Saturday, I had a birthday party! We went rock climbing for about 4 hours! When we got back home, there was a scavenger hunt Mom made for us. We had to go to peoples houses according to our clues we had. Every clue came with a present such as a stuffed cat, then a Puppy magazine, and the a brush, and then a leash and then a dog bowl! When we got the brush, i was excited but i didnt want to get my hopes up. Then when I got the leash, Cecily, Courtney, Audrey and I were screaming our heads off. When we got the dog bowl, i seriously felt like i was going to pass out! Funny huh? To my surprise, when we got home there was a tiny puppy! We named her Juni ( That means 12 in Japanese). This was definitely the best Birthday ever! Thank you so much Mom and Dad!

Snow, Snow, Snow!

We got hit with another storm, it wasnt too bad-except we lost our phone, internet and TV for most of the day, so we were really stuck inside with nothing to do. I also taped up our windows so we are now officially prisoners in this house for the time being. Here are some pictures of the girls and I playing in the snow, I found them these cute goggles at TJ Maxx for $3-what a steal! We miss you all, hope everyone is doing well!

All I Wanted for Christmas

What a wonderful, memorable Christmas we had. I couldn't of asked for a greater gift than to have all my children together once again. I'm grateful Justin & Khea made it safely to Georgia. Here are some pictures of the wedding and Schweitzer.

Girls Kitchen

Mom and Dad bought the girls a kitchen set and table with accessories for Christmas. The love to pretend to cook and eat all day long. The first night we got it, I walk by their room at 11 pm (hours after they were supposed to be asleep) and the light is on-they were playing with the kitchen set! They sure love it. And I love the 250 piece food set that mom got too, it is so fun to have hundreds of extra things to pick up when I get board! Thanks mom and dad, revenge? Anyway they love their gift, Thank you Nana and Papa-only a few more days!

Just waiting to come home

So I was at work today proving medic coverage while some soldiers where training on Close Quarters Battle drills (kinda like swat training where you blow the door up, and a 4-5 man team enter a building tactically and kill anything that's a threat. Instead of people this time it was balloons they were shooting), I found a pile of sand and I remembered all the stupid things Cody, Ric and I used to or still do. It was some lame entertainment for most of the guys there, but whatever, the activity kept me warm for a little longer. I really shouldn't complain though, its only 60 something degrees!

Anyways I also got back on the long board for a bit to train my legs to get ready for our little ski trip this Christmas. I'm stoked that last weekend Schweitzer got some snow and hopefully it keeps coming!

Joy to the World

momma ordered me a camera so i can capture all of our amazing college highlights. its dang cold here and its only gonna get worse, wierdly we havent had a ton of snow though. this beautiful gem shown above is a small sample of how much christmas spirit is captured here. let me tell you the tale of my wonderous fruit of the gods... instead of purchasing a 30 dollar tree at the local grocery store i decided to compromise. recieving inspiration from Home Alone, i walked about a block from our apartment in the light of dusk in search of a fern. i cast my eyes upward and beheld a exceedingly fine spruce, much desirable for my home. i had to pop a squat next to this charley crown tree and hand saw this bad dog down with a pocket knife. now it hails in our living room with full decor. the getto duct tape stand didn't last long so i decided to hang the tree from the ceiling, i took a screw out of a door hinge, then mounted it into the ceiling with speaker wire. you cant buy that kind of quality. Its stating to wrap up with school and finals, definately stressful and crazy. il be glad when its over, but im not gonna lie, this place is awesome and there's some super rad hoodlums here. As you can see we just get dustings of snow every once in a while, nothing too big. saturday there was a dating game where the wall separates the three contestants and the questionaire so i won a hot date tonight, and a $25 gift certificate to apple bee's which is my only motivation in the first place, i pondered about ditching the girl and just feasting with the boys but i dont want to jepardize my celestrial salvation on a really good meal.
