I'm alive!

So I KNOW I haven't written in quite sometime, so I'm gonna do my best to NOT make this a small book. Wish me luck, my life has been interesting....

My Birthday was wonderful! It really was! I had a great time with Anna on the way back (Non-moving hawks in mid-air, me laughing cuz I wanna slap you, ICEBERG! No one else will get that, I'll tell you guys in person when I see ya!) It was funny. Also, I got over 15 Happy Birthday's through facebook, even though people usually only remember cuz they get a reminder! Who cares, it's awesome! Oh! and Chris Bingea CALLED me to wish me Happy Birthay in my DORM ROOM! I didn't even know he had my cell phone number. It was very sweet of him (his birthday is a day after mine.) So then I got home and My mom, Holly, Anderw (holly's boyfriend), and myself went out to Olive Garden (Dad...well...whatever) We ate a whole lot, and it was surprisingly very fun. My sister and I CAN BOND!!! And I just want to say thanks mom! She is a good good woman! =) Anywho, after that, I went over to Adam's house, and they through me a sorta surprise little birthday thing. If my mom wouldn't of taken me out, they would have planned something else, or so I hear, and who cares. It's the thought that counts. I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH, AND "I THANK MY GOD EVERYTIME I REMEMBER YOU" Phillipians 1:3. The night ended with a very pretty cake, a pipe cleaner hat, a pipe cleaner car, and a pipe cleaner butterfly ring! It was so wonderful, and homemade things are the best.

Saturday was an up and down sort of day. Jen had slept over, and we went shopping with her and Holly, and it just was...eh...for many reasons that I won't go into. It made me very grumpy and unhappy. Then Molly Taylor met us at Applebees, and it was really good to see her. We enjoyed our time and laughed, and I was happy. lol. Then I finally got over to Adam's for the Chris Tomlin/Matt Redman/and Louis Gigalo or something concert! The fun part was we took two vans and all drove down together. The only bad part was I cried in the car because I was just so stressed from the day I had, what victoria secret representative told me, and of course boy problems. Again it's one of those moments that I can't go into detail here, cuz it'd take too long. The concert was so amazing, and it really moved me. The music was fantastic, and the speaker showed us how small we are to God, and I really just felt so small (not in a bad sense) and humbled by God's grace. It made me love my friends even more than ever, and God just really took my heart. After the concert we went to Perkins, and our waiter girl/man was Sc-sc-scary! haha. But we were all acting like 14 year olds on their own for the first time. It's fun to be that way sometimes though. You need a little immaturity in your life! And thanks Justin for spitting water down my shirt....love you anyway amazingly. To keep the night going, we watched The Minority Report at Adam's and it was LONG but sooo worth it. I loved it! I had seen previews for it but wow, I was thoroughly enjoyed. Finally, I made it back home at 4:00 or so. I was happy.

Sunday hit, and I started not feeling so hot (after Applebees, I felt sick, but figured it would pass...I was wrong) I had to get my costume fitted for our Royalty Halloween Parade, and standing there...I almost passed out. I had no color in my cheeks, and I felt like throwing up. Luckily I had a wave of relief for a while so I went to the Knapps so I could see them all! Somehow Debbie burnt something and smoke filled the entire house! It was hysterical! Then of course I went over to Anna's and got to be with John and Anna (they make me SOOO incredibly happy) Even though it makes me sad cuz I don't have someone who loves me with that much love (BESIDES God...I know he loves me) but at the same time it makes me so happy cuz John is so happy, and I think he deserves it. They are both astounding people, and really are blessed by God through their relationship. Rock on you two. Car ride was good as usual, and Anna slept over. Woo!

So final paragraph of the tale... Monday, I was sick...really sick. Not like throwing up sick, but other kind of "fluid" sickness...I'll leave it at that. And it was all day long, and on Sunday too, and it got to the point where I could not even stand for longer than a minute because there was so much pain in my side. It was so bad. So at 11:00 at night, Anna and Ali drove me to the Emergency Room. That's right, I had to go to the ER! It sucked and we were there until 2:00 AM! They took three viles of blood, made me give a urine sample, and just made sure it wasn't life threating. I felt bad for my two little heros who had to just sit here and deal with me, and I thank them for taking me. The doctor was very nice, and told me it could be a very small kidney stone, or the stomach flu, or something just viral. At any rate, they gave me the glorious VICODIN and I slept very very well. My story is done, don't forget you can always IM me in case you want more depth, I will be glad to talk.

College Moment: The picture that I will throw on here later today is from the ER last night. We decided it would make for a good story, and a good picture as well. I hope you all enjoy and laugh at my pain. haha.

Sister in Christ,
