Day 10: Lucas and Liz

Where do I begin? These two are amazing. We met last year at St. Stephen's where we started a band with Rob and Chloe. They give the BEST hugs ever and are always there for me when I need them. Love them so much!!

Happy May Day! and also, White Rabbit. :)

So....I took my Math final today. We're just gonna leave it at that.

I also worked today. Nothing exciting there.

I swam a few laps. Woo.

I ate a cupcake from Scratch. Delicious.

I ate snacks and played pictionary with some of my favorite  people (Anastasia, Lucas, Liz, Rob, Alyssa, Rebecca, Bridget, Mike, Rebecca, Adam) AKA-the Witness Choir from St. Stephen's. :)

Also, Liz and I made this video:

April 28

Well due to the fact that I didn't go to bed until well after 3:30am, I slept in until 11ish. (For the record, the RA on call washed me sheets for me, and I slept on Katlyne and Danielle's futon.) It was another really great day of getting nothing done. Sweet. Just what I needed.

Joyce and I did travel down to Main street to watch UNI's Orchesis dance show because Courtney dances in it. After the show we went to Cup of Joe and then wandered Main for a while. It was lots of fun! I took a nap later and then met Lucas and Rob at Applebee's for some grub. (Liz had to work until 10). We picked Liz up after work and headed to Rob's apartment to hang out. We ended up staying up entirely too late just chatting about life. I hate myself for it today (because I got about 4 hours of sleep), but it was TOTALLY worth it.

I decided to go old school with a glass bottle of coke from Cup of Joe.

After class I was actually productive (surprising, right?) I went to Ranee's (from St. Stephen's) senior clarinet recital. I was then planning on going to watch Liz in the symphonic band concert, but instead!!! I got a call earlier that afternoon from my second daddy(Scott) saying he was coming through town around 7:30 and wanted to know if I wanted to grab supper. Well, OBVIOUSLY! So we went to Old Chicago while Rob, Lucas, and Alyssa watched Liz's concert. After the concert they came to Old Chicago, too! Scott left to get a hotel room instead of driving the rest of the way home, and I stayed at Old Chicago with the gang. We always have so much fun! And we didn't fail that tonight, either. :)

Awww :) 

April 15

I was still recovering from Relay by the time Sunday rolled around. I went to church and then had brunch with Cristy and Katlyne. I then got some things accomplished (but not much). I was supposed to work, but I didn't. I called in and said I had a church conflict(which I really did!) Praise and Worship band had a little concert at the church around 6:30. After our performance, Rob bought me Panchero's. (It was my first time there.) What a nice guy! Then Zac came to visit! My photo is of the band :)

Happy Easter!

Easter this year was so weird because I wasn't with my biological family. No worries though, I spent it with my St. Stephen's family. :) 

I played at Hudson and then high-tailed it out of there to get to St. Stephens. Liz and I cantored: 

:) 

After church, Ann invited me to her house for Easter dinner. Some of her family was there and quite a few St. Stephen's kids were there, too. It was a blast. Her niece and nephew had an Easter egg hunt, and then they hid the eggs for us big kids. :) The food was delicious and the company was great! Here's Michelle; she blended in with Ann's couch. 

I spent the rest of the night watching Cars (again) and doing Relay stuff. It's crunch time, and I probably won't sleep much this week. Apology in advance if I get behind on blogging!!

Happy Grammar Day! :)

I had to play at Hudson this morning so I was up at 7:45 to leave at 8. :) I came back to town and ran to HyVee quick. I went to my own church at 10:30, walked back with boy Morgan, and then had lunch with Katlyne. I took my time putting the clothes away that I washed on Friday and cleaning my room. I also got some Relay stuff done. I ate supper with Jen and Katlyne at 5 and then Rob picked me up at 5:30. His parents are in town and they wanted to hear our band, so we got together and played a few songs. Lucas's parents came from Adel, too. Liz's parents even got to hear us via Skype. It was lots of fun. :) I got back and hung out with Katlyne and Jen for a while, and then we had a fire drill. How annoying. I didn't do much today but I sure am tired......

My photo of the day is Danielle's unfortunate incident of the day....

February 15

I'm getting really bad at this...
I only had one class today, and it wasn't until noon. Awesome! I got up around 9:30 and headed to the Union to work out. I returned and got ready for the day. I went to my one class (French) and Flavia told us about an awesome program where anyone that has French background can apply. If you get accepted you spend either a semester or whole academic year in France as a teacher's assistant. You get paid 1000 Euros a month and you get Fridays off so a 3 day traveling weekend is possible. Sounds amazing! She said most people go right after they graduate so they don't interrupt their studies. I think it sounds like something I should consider....
After class I had lunch with Courtney. I checked my mail and had not one, but TWO letters for me. One was a Valentine's Day card from my parents and the other was a letter from my friend Rickey who is at a basic training camp in Oklahoma for 5 months. It's fun to go old-school and write letters. :) I did some homework and some laundry and then went to donate plasma. When I got back Chloe, Lucas, and Liz picked me up and we met Rob at Buffalo Wild Wings for supper. (It was a CAC fundraiser there, so 10% of our bill went to UNI's RFL). After supper we headed to the church to start setting up. Fr Ken is on vacation this week so it was a student-planned Prime Time. It lasted WAY longer than mass. We didn't get out of there until 10:30. But ANYWAY, our Praise and Worship band played some songs and it was good to get in front of an audience (and also fun).  Except for the fact the since I donated plasma and had my finger pricked, every time I hit the key juuuuust right with that finger, it started throbbing. There's a bruise now :( But if that's the least of my pain this week, then I'm truly blessed, as there are people out there in WAY more pain than a bruised finger.

Danielle redecorated her door today. Due to the fact that I walked in her room the other day(like usual) and interrupted her nap, I have a special spot on their door:

Hahahahahaha

My other picture of the day is of the cutest couple ever: Lucas and Liz :)
