You are not in front of Amy's house! I'm in front of Amy's house!

This was an amazing weekend. I got to spend time with so many friends. It was so great. So here's the rundown. I think this one will get long again. My apologies!

FRIDAY

I got up early on Friday and was at school by 7:15. I worked in my room all morning. Janet and I probably did more talking than working, but it was really good. I went over to the Carlson house and picked up Laura for our movie. We saw "American Gangster." It was really good. A little long, but good.

After I dropped her off at home, I ran home to finish packing. Then I was on the road. I actually had a dent in my finger from texting the whole time I was driving to Crown. Haha! I got to Laura's dorm around 7, but we didn't stay long. We hopped back in my car and drove to Nate's apartment in Hutchinson.

I got the tour and then we just sat and talked in the living room. My favorite was the fact that Nate and I were writing on each other's Facebook walls while we sat there. I got to meet Nate's roommate too. He's a funny kid. At like 9:30, we headed over to Applebee's for dinner. After a wonderful dinner, and an even more amazing change to talk, they were closing. I think it was midnight. But our night could not end there...

A random Wal-Mart trip would do just the trick! Nate and Laura wanted to show me the pink Christmas tree. But it was no longer there :( But since we were in the Christmas section, we stopped to play all the video games they had set up. First, Nate and I played Scene-It on XBox 360. If they had that game for PS2 or Wii, I would totally buy it. It was fun!

Then, I played Mario Galaxy on Wii. I didn't like it very much. And finally, I played Rock Band, I think. I was TERRIBLE! I was laughing so hard because Nate and Laura were making fun of me. I thought I was going to pee my pants. Seriously. I wish they had had a camera, because I bet I looked hilarious.

Our final stop in Wal-Mart was the crane game. Nate went first and won a purple elephant. Laura went next, but didn't win. Then I went next and won another purple elephant. Well that just would not do. We kept feeding quarters into the machine until Laura finally won a pink leopard. We went back to Nate's and then Laura and I drove back to Crown. I pretty much fell asleep right away.

Saturday

I got up and drove to St. Cloud for Matt's meet. It was nice because he had a long break in between his relay and his 200 fly. It was nice to sit and talk to him. I was texting Laura most of the afternoon. At one point, I must have looked really funny because I was standing there crying. Hopefully no on noticed. I would just like to say thank you to Laura for being so sweet. I love you so much!
I saw Matt swim his 50 breast on the relay, the 200 fly, and the 200 I.M. I didn't get to stay for the 100 fly because it was going to be too late. I left so I could make it to Nicollet for Amy's play.

I called Janet and one point while I was driving. When I was on the phone with her, I missed a turn. Haha, whoops. I noticed it after only a few miles, then I was good the rest of the way.

Sarah, Jill, Emmalee, and I sat in the front row. Kelsey, Laura, Whitney, and Heather sat behind us. Amy was so cute! I loved smiling at her and making her smile back. Oh, good times!

After the play, we went with the cast to Buffalo Wild Wings in Mankato. It was a fun night. It was hard to say goodbye, like always. As I drove home, I talked to Emmalee and then Sarah to keep me awake. I also learned the fine art of texting and talking at the same time. Haha.

So seriously, thanks to everyone who I got to see this weekend. I had a wonderful time! And thanks to everyone who either talked to me or texted me to help me stay awake. I love you all very, very much!

What's a shank?

Well, I pretty much suck at blogging ever since I started teaching. Oh goodness. Life is just crazy busy. But, due to some crazy fun times that transpired tonight, I thought it was time to whip out the old typing fingers :P

So there I was... the Council meeting had ended and I was chilling in the parking lot with a lot of cool folks. It was cold. But we had fun standing in the parking lot and talking. Then... the real fun began!

Funny Moment #1: Julianna was walking toward Aaron, Kelsey, Sarah, and I. Aaron yelled, "JJ! Behind the tree!" She ran back and hid behind the tree. Priceless!

After freezing for a while, Aaron, Sarah, Julianna, and I (The Fab 4) decided we should go back into the church and be warm. We tried the door, but it was locked. So, we went around to the pastor's door, which was open. Although, I'm pretty sure it wasn't suppose to be. Julianna's already fitting right in on Council. Helping us break into churches is always a plus!

We knew that Gary, Ben, and Bob were still up stairs having a closed-door meeting. We thought we might be able to scare them when the left. We stood by the stair talking and having a real-life poke war. Oh, good times were had by all.

So then, we started hearing something by the door. It was a tad creepy. I saw a penny fall from somewhere. We started trying to figure out where it was coming from. We could tell it wasn't dropping from above, so we were quite confused. Someone then had the genius idea that it was just the radiator.

Not so, it kept happening. We figured it was coming from downstairs and they were throwing pennies up at us. Aaron laid down on the stairs and tried to peek down. No good. He got up, another penny came flying at him, and he ran to "catch" whoever was down there.

I'm pretty sure there was screaming, and then some almost peeing our pants. Seriously, freaking hilarious.

So, if you haven't figured it out by now. It was Ben, Bob, and Gary. They got us good. I will totally give them mad props for that one. I had the crap scared out of me by Death and friends. Good job, guys. Good job.

Funny Moment #2: We were recounting the events of the evening and the conversation between Julianna and Aaron about made me die.

Julianna: "And you were down there, Mister..."
Aaron: "Rambo? MacGyver?"
Julianna: "Clint Eastwood."

And finally...

Funny Moment #3: We made Bob drive her car over by us so we could see the lovely artwork. The "whale eye" on the sunroof was priceless. I hope she never washes it off :P

The Fab 4 were the last ones in the parking lot tonight. Oh man, it was fun! I can't wait till next month :D
