New Years

Anyway, New Years was a blast. I went up to this cabin in Wenatchee and we went sledding!! Then I got in a snow ball fight with three little boys. As the fight continued I soon felt one of the littler boys hanging on my neck bringing me to the ground to shove my face in the snow, otherwise know as white washing me. When my friend Kyle sees that maybe I had had enough, he comes over to save me. Now it is two against three, however it seemed as if we were still be losing. So one of the dads jumped out of his seat, ran toward his son, and just took him out, like a cool football move. It was awesome. Later that after the fight was over and I got dried off by the fire, I went inside to rest. However inside there were two little nine-year-old girls looking for something fun to do. After chatting for awhile they soon discover I am very ticklish. For nine years old girls to find out a 23 year old girl is ticklish is a extremely exciting thing because usually it is the adult tickling the kid. So they begin to tickle me. After a lot of laughter and fun I looked up to see one of the little girls flying towards me and BAM, her head ran right into my eye! I don't cry but it hurt pretty bad. I got up to go look in the mirror, when soon enough I looked down and couldn't see the floor because my eye started to swell up. The girls ran to get me some ice and I put it on my eye. I went outside to show everyone and they couldn't believe it. I spent most the night wrestling with 3 boys but yet I get a black eye from two nine year old girls tickling me. What a story. The rest of my time spent in Wenatchee was spent trying to think of a more exciting story as to why I got such a bad black eye.

Garbage Night

It was a night of fun, if you don't think about what we actually did. We cleaned out the fridge from when the old roommates used to live here and emptied out all the bottles and stuff smelt so bad!!! We had so much fun though, who knows why. Then once we got everything emptied and the garbages full we baged everything up. Then Jackie and I sat on the back of Sarah's car down to campus to dump the garbages. Man it was so much fun, see for yourself.... http://www.snapfish.com/share/p=339151108531716867/l=42403045/otsc=SYE/otsi=SALB

Christmas

Stacie and I went to Grandma Hanfts on Christmas Eve and we had some good dinner and we opened our presents. It was great fun. My dad gave me a picture printer for my digital camera.
Christmas morning we woke up at about 10:00 and opened presents and I got a bed and a Coca Cola blanket from my sister that she made to match my room theme. I got a ton of other stuff too but those are my favorites. Then we had breakfast and rushed over to my aunt Sues house only to find out we were and hour early. We had lunch and then opened presents. It was great to hang out with all the family and all the cousins were there from California.
Happy Holidays

New Years Eve

Adam and I were really busy. We went to a cocktail party on Lake Washington to start the night off. Then we drove down to Tacoma to the Emerald Queen Casino so Adam could meet my dad. Tom and Nancy were there too, they are like my aunt and uncle. We watched Eddie Money for those who actually know who that is. Then we went to the seafood buffet to get some food. After EQC we went to Travis' party on Lake Meridian. It was a lot of fun, a bunch of guys jumped in the lake, they are crazy.

I got a bunch of furniture from Ikea and Adam and I put them together the other day and it took forever, I still have to put my desk together once my other little room off my room gets painted. I start school tomorrow and I only have classes MWF!!!! I am taking Christian Scriptures, Intro to Global and Urban Ministry, and Human Development and Christian Faith.
My roommates are a lot of fun, their names are Michelle, Sara and Jackie. We have one bathroom for all of us. Oh, we have a basketball hoop in our backyard!

School and Next quarter

Well school is almost over. But it has been a great quarter. My friend Don just had his baby last week. Classes are really good. I think I will get an A in every class, I have really worked hard. I just finished my last paper for english. My math class is pretty much done because I don't have to take the next quiz because the teacher drops one quiz and this will be my one dropped quiz. Then the final is optional, you only take it if you need to get a better grade, but I am good. Then for biology I just finished my presentation on Melanoma cancer and it went really well. I had fun preparing. I had movies, pictures and good info on my power point. So all I got left is one more math assignment and a biology final and I am done!!!!
Well what am I going to do with my break??? Well I need to start packing because I found some GREAT Rommates. There will be 4 of us living in a house and I went and met them last weekend and we talked for ever and they are great. So I will be moving in in January. But they said I can start moving stuff in the basement when I need to so that the move will be more smooth. So I am really excited. They are about 3 blocks away from SPU!!!
For the next quarter I will be taking Christian Scriptures, Theology, and Global and Urban Development class. Sweet. Well I guess thats about all.

Emereld Queen

I went to the casino last weekend and won $493. I spent 120 so I actually only won $373. We also watched some boxing. Not the normal thing I would do but there were some girls fighting and that was fun. I didn't watch much more than that though. I went with my dad and Sherri and Uncle Robert was there too.

Tonight my dad, my grandma and I went to the Emerald Casino to see the Chinese acrobats. Oh my gosh!!! It was so amazing! One guy stood on a table and put 4 wine bottles on the table and balanced a chair on the wine bottles and then he turned another chair upside down and balanced that one on the other one and on and on until there was about 8 chairs. ON each chair he did certain tricks like balancing on the chair upside down. There was this one girl who balanced lots of glasses with water in them stacked on top of each other with her foot and then did gymnastics type things while balancing it. She was like a Gumby doll she could bend and turn in so many ways. There were so many AMAZING ACTS I could not believe it. There were times I didn't even want to look! WOW! That is all I have to say.
