My Birthday Weekend.. And MORE Snow..

If this winter has taught me anything at all, it's that driving in the snow isn't all that difficult. Once you master the taking it snow and not freaking out part, it's all downhill from there. Considering we have experienced about five decent snows now this winter, I've had to make myself drive in it more than I ever have before. Anyways, long story short, we got about 5 inches last night, and there is STILL more on the way today/tonight as well :( UGH! I'm so ready for summer weather!

Anyways, enough whining about the weather, again lol. This past weekend was my 21st birthday. Ah, what a time. It had good moments, and bad ones as well. Thursday was my actual birthday, so one of my best guy friends took me out to dinner at our local Texas Roadhouse (my favorite probably). Mom and Dad were supposed to but my Dad has been ill so I accepted the IOU and went out with Todd instead. After dinner, we decided to meet up with my friends on campus and from there, we went to BW-3's in Lima (B-dubs). I had a pretty good time with friends from college as well as high school. I wound up home about midnight or so still saying "it's my birthday!" to my Mom as she was making me go to bed. Then there was friday night, I chose to stay in due to the prior evenings activities. Soooo that takes us to saturday, ah what a night. Saturday I truthfully didn't want to go out but my cousins and parents talked me into it. We went to Players in Lima and had a real good time. My best friend from high school came so I was really excited about that as well as my closest family being with me as well. That meant the world to me. And to make the night even better, my boyfriend came along. :) He has been having some family issues and so I really didn't expect him to come, but he surprised me and came out with us :) None the less, it meant alot. So my friends, family, and boyfriend danced and sang alot of the night and just flat out had a great time. I couldn't have asked for a better birthday weekend and it will be one that I remember for years and years to come. Thanks everyone :)

Well, it's that time of morning now that I need to get ready for the day. My biology class was cancelled so I'm going to eat some breakfast and head into the office to work for a while; I'll get bored out of my mind at home all day, I'm not used to being home alot anymore! Haha, time to quit procrastinating and just get out of bed (laptops are wonderful btw). Have a good week!

Scrabble and Snow Fun

Snow is one of those things I've learned to love just as much as I hate it sometimes. Snow is awesome when you cancel from school or when you go sledding or snowboarding. But then there is the dreaded snow like tonight, that snows you in leaving you bored out of your mind. I just can't take not being able to leave my house if I want or need to and I hate driving in it. I'm totally convinced that I just need to move to Florida or some state that doesn't have snow but like once a year!

On a different note, this past weekend I participated in a Scrabble tournament for a wonderful cause; the Northwest Literacy Council. A team of six friends and I: Jess, Megan, Sandy, Cody, and Trevor all played for literally four hours straight. We played four games, for 45 minutes per game. And I'm sad to say that we came in last place :( But, we did make the Lima News, our local newspaper with a big picture on the front page! Haha so exciting right? None the less, we had a good time for the most part, ate some decent food, and spent the afternoon with close friends from the office.

Speaking of the office, having a job on campus is probably one of my favorite things about my college experience so far. I absolutely love it, the opportunities are endless and I've also met so many great people who turned into close friends over the past year or so. I'm so lucky to work with such a fascinating group of people. Every individual is seriously so different from the next that it's just amazing. Everyone gets along great, we have started all hanging out outside of work the past few months, and none the less we have a great bond and great times as well. So thanks guys, and I love you all! :)

Well the snow is continuing to fall sooo I'm crossing my fingers for a snow day tomorrow so we can all go sledding and/or just relax all day! Time to hit the sack, it's like way past my typical bed time haha. Nighty night..

Randomly Random

Alright so, I planned on this week being horrible. Turns out, it's not so bad :) My mom told me today that I'm going on vacation to Ocean City, Maryland for 5 days in may to my cousins house. And we also are going to see a big outdoor concert. Performers are..

LeAnn Rimes, Big & Rich, Kenny Chesney (my love), Gary Allan, Brooks & Dunn, and Sammy Hagar!!

None the less, I'm super pumped~! :)

Tell ya what though, I'm not pumped over the Superbowl. I was pretty disappointed as a matter of fact. The game was boring untill 4th quarter and my team lost surprisingly. I'm not gonna lie, I like the Pats :) But I had fun during the game playing my new obsession, Rockband! I'm not great at it but it's a good time. I got it for Adam for his birthday and I think I've played it almost everyday since January 17th haha. Speaking of birthdays, my 21st is in 15 more days!! Let the countdown begin! Haven't decided what exactly to do on my birthday but I got a few days to figure it out.

And lastly, the most overrated holiday is coming up soon; the dreaded Valentine's Day. It's the biggest Halmark holiday ever along with Sweetest day. I guess I've never had a great V-day so maybe that's why I'm not excited for it at all. Time will tell though whether or not this year changes my mind, let's hope so! :)
