WEDDING!!!!

Ok, so I meant to post this last week, but never actually got around to it...
July 30, 2011 5:00 pm
T and C got married today. It was at outside wedding, and it was in the 80's and sunny, so it was hot. Abi was flower-girl and kowen was ring barer and they were sooo cute! Abi didn't know flowers would already be lining the isle so she started crying and saying, "I dropped them!" she even tried to pick them up hahahaha! Then kowen was crying because his grandma brought him chocolate to keep him quiet and, (of course), it melted, so he was upset about that.
the serimony was good though. I thought T was going to cry, but he didn't. The bride's-maid's dresses were apparently black with white mixed in. I was sitting by dad, so didn't get details about what was going on. C didn't cry either. We're waiting for the guys to get ready so we can go to the reception.
I did bring Bilko to the wedding, but I'm leaving him home for the reception. (although, I could probably get out of dancing if I brought him... lol.) I'm not a huge dancer, and I haven't been to a wedding since before Nick and I broke up and he was with me, so I'm trying not to be moody. I have to be happy... I'm still young and God will send the right person my way in his own time.
Ok, dad's yelling for me to get ready (which I am so he needs to shut it), and mom and B are arguing and ticking me off, so I need to go. tell more after reception.
11:32 pm The reception was fun. We all sat around and talked until the bridle party got there and they entered, D and A (best man and maid of honor), gave toasts. We then ate and it was Italian Chicken breast, (delicious!), garlic mashed potatoes (also very good), green beans, (good), and fetechini alphrado, (nothing special.) The cake was half white half chocolate with some kind of strawberry filling. WONDERFUL AND I WANT MORE! lol
Then the dances started, and for the life of me I can't tell you what their first dance was! :( The father daughter dance was, "I Loved Her First." I ended up talking to a friend, who I haven't seen in years, and we kind of just sat there for most of the night because the DJ KEPT PLAYING SLOW SONGS! Those are great and all, but I actually wanted to dance! That's weird, because I'm not usually a dancer. I'm not any good at it, so I'll mostly only dance with a lot of people on the floor so I don't stick out as much, or with family and friends around me. Finally they started playing faster songs, but I didn't want to dance until the "Chacha Slide" came on, and I made my friend go out with me to dance it. We danced off and on throughout the night after that, but a lot of the time not many, if any, people were dancing, so we didn't want to without other people. Eventually I ended up dancing when we were getting ready to leave, because Brian asked me to dance, and then (for shits and giggles), I asked R S (my friend's dad), and we danced. Honestly, I didn't think he would... Then B was dragged on to the floor by Aunt M, (put up to it by dad), and he sort of danced for a couple songs before leaving the floor again. The last song we danced to was The "Y-M-C-A." I ended up dancing with C's mom for a bit and then she got Walker because I told her too and we danced the YMCA.
We went to taco bell afterwords because mom and I were hungry and so was Walker and Bee'
Well, I'm tired so night all! I'll post this in the morning on blogger, (edited to not use actual names.)

Surprise! I'm here!

Ok, I know its been forever since I've posted! life's either been crazy busy and too much going on to write or really really dull with nothing to write about, but I have something now.

Last Monday Nick's mom texted me to see what I was doing this weekend. She said that she and his dad were going to visit Nick (he's in Indiana for an internship) this weekend and wanted to take me to surprise him. So Bilko and I went ot his grandma's this weekend. They picked us up Friday night around 8 and so we got there around 11:30 or so, and Nick was asleep already since he'd been getting up around 5:30 for work last week. We had some issues figuring out where we were all going to sleep (even though there were enough bedrooms... It was dumb lol), and then I went to bed. When I got up the next morning Nick's dad was walking down the hall and was like "Nick still doesn't know your here," so he started leading me out to see him. That house was huuuuuuge! I actually used my cane around it for awhile and I never ever do that! Anyway... Nick was walking in to the kitchen when we were coming through and I reeeeally wish I could have seen his face! His dad said he looked astonished and like he couldn't believe his eyes haha!
Well his grandparents had to bail hay so I rode along in the truck with his grandma. I really wanted to help bail (I've never even been around when somebody was bailing), but running by a truck throwing bails onto a trailer probably isn't the best idea for a blink! lol I did want to help when they were unloading it, but they wouldn't let me! :(
O well... It was still fun listening to the menand Nick's mom argue haha!
Then we went swimming in their huge pool. It was like 88 dgs which is a little on the warm side for me but it was still fun. They had a water slide that I went down. Everybody else was afraid they'd break it and I was the smallest so I went. Nick's dad also through me. I stood on his knees and he tossed me on the count of 3 while I kicked off... I haven't done that since I was little! :) O and for the record I'm like 5.6 but I'm skinny, so that's why he could throw me still at 19 hehehe.
We had a cookout for Nick's grandpa's birthday which was earlier this week, and the cake was really good. Especially for a storebaught cake. Then we went swimming again after dark (Nick and his dad and I did.) We went to bed after that since It was around 11 and everybody was exhausted from bailing.
Today we had doghnuts for breakfast and I got to ride one of their horses. O! Did I mention they have arabians? Well they have like 10 horses and all but 1 are arabians. They're actually looking to sell them so if anybody wants more info let me know! :)
They haven't ridden them much lately, but Nick's grandpa saddled one up for me and rode it around for awhile to make sure he wasn't going to freak out and throw me or something. Well he was trying to go back to the barn so Nick's grandpa walked beside me and made sure the horse wouldn't go to the barn. I kinda didn't like that, because I am a pretty good rider and can confidently control a horse myself, but I understood why he was reluctant to let me ride solo since the horse (I can't think of his name at the moment), hadn't been ridden in awhile.
I was sad to leave, but I was also glad I got to go see Nick and surprise him like that. :)

Seriously! If anybody wants Arabians let me know!

Bycicle, burgers, and bonfires O My!

I'm at Nick's right now writing on the air matress (its friggin huge and reeaally comfortable actually), that I'm sleeping on while here. Nick and his dad are touching up some paint spots on his car and his mom is mowing the lawn. Nick came over on Tuesday and spent the night. Then I went home with him Wednesday and we had fun renting a tandom bycicle and riding 10 miles ish maybe more. I haven't ridden a bike in forever! It was fun! :) I have a tandom but its up in the top of the garage and hasn't been taken down in a couple years.
Then when his parents got home from work, we had a nice dinner of fresh strawberries, corn and... I can't remember what the main dish was! lol Maybe that's because we had pork loin tonight and it was delicious too. Anyway... after that we went outside and had a bonfire in this neat little fire ring Nick's dad put on the patio. It was really smoky and annoying for awhile, so Nick's dad got down and started blowing on the flames! Nick took a picture and it (apparently) looks like he's trying to kiss the flames! :) lol I said he was going to burn his eyebrows off.

Today we got up and had breakfast (after I fought with the shower because the knob was weird and I couldn't get the right temperature), and then went to buy his dad's father's day gift. It's the Avatar movie. I got my dad a card that says something like:
I wanted to get you a card for this, but he wanted to get a pack of beer, so we drank the beer for you and filled out this card! It has a couple of dogs dressed as humans totally waisted and says We love yuo dad! Really really we love you!
hahahaha!
I thought my dad would get a kick out of that.

After that Nick called his dad to see if he wanted to go to lunch with us, but he had to finish something at work so we went to Nick's great grandmother's and delivered some pictures to her from Nick's uncle. We stayed and talked to her for awhile and she's the cutest little old woman ever! She was dog-sitting, but she put the dog in the garage just before we came because she was going to go out. She kept going in to the garage and saying "mandy shut up! Your a bad dog!" Poor dog she just wanted attention haha! She's blind in one eye but she obviously could tell Bilko was there, because when she got in the house accidently she ran right over to us and stood barking right at him until Nick's grandma took her back outside. Bilko just sat there lol.
Nick's dad called soon after and we went out to this really good restaurant (I forget the name) and I had a buffalo chicken wrap and homemade chips with ranch.
It was good

Nick's taking me home tomorrow on his way back to Indiana for work. He has an internship this summer :)
Well IDK what else to write, and I'm not even sure if anybody actually reads this haha!
Signing off.

Summer and the Mall

Well, I’m still alive. I just haven’t had much to write about… or at least felt like writing it.
Its been pretty boring around here lately. Now that my family is out of school and since mom’s a teacher she’s home too things have picked up a bit.

I went to Cedar Point with some friends on May 28th. Jessica, Sarah, and Sarah’s friend Dan from out-of-state. I’d never met him but he was cool and we all had . a blast. smile
We rode most of the coasters I think… O we didn’t get a chance to ride the Mavric unfortunately since I love that ride, and I refuse to ride the Dragster (to many breakdowns for me), the melenium is also daunting so I didn’t ride that either. I looove rollercoasters, but not those! Lol We got Jessica to ride the Magnum, (she hated us for it) and the Rapter (another “I’m gonna kill you!” ride), it was fun. We stayed all day and rode water rides to boot. I forgot extra clothes so I walked around wet the rest of the day for about 5 hours. Hmmm… maybe that’s why I have a cold now?...

Momorial day weekend we spent at my grandma’s cottage in Michigan. Nick came too and we had a lot of fun swimming and with the little kids (my cousins kids Abi and Owen.) I neglected to tell Nick that we were going home Sunday and since he would have stayed till Monday and drove back to Indiana we decided to go to his parents cottage and visit them. His uncle was there from Mississippi with his girlfriend and they brought fresh shrimp.
Mmm that was sooooo good! Smile.
I was really nervous about meeting his uncle and his girlfriend, but they turned out cool. I like his dad, we get along, but I still don’t know what to make of his mom. She seems to like me, but every time I’m there she gets mad about something really ridiculously stupid.
Like this last time Nick and I went over to the neighbors cause they wanted to say hi, and his dad said he’d call us when breakfast was ready. That generally means “hey guys! Breakfast is ready come on and get it!” right? Aparently not. They told us when it would be a couple minutes, so we figured they’d tell us when it was actually ready. W Well 15 minut4es or so pasted and we finally got the neighbors to stop talking long enough to say we had to go for breakfast. We got there and his mom was cleaning up and she was all mad that we’d missed breakfast and crap. At first I didn’t think they saved us anything which would’ve made me absolutely furious, but they did. She threw out the egs saying they were “ruined” when really I bet they’d have been fine, not warm and delicious, but ok. Nick says she freaks out about stupid things a lot even when I’m not there, so she’s just kinda weird like that.

I went to the mall with my mom and aunt and a neighbor who is really good friends with my mom yesterday. I usually don’t really like shopping, but it was fun. I really wanted out of the house, so I agreed to go. I got a new pair of flip flops (brown with purple sections), they’re really squishy and comfortable, as well as 2 pairs of cut-off shorts, 2 tanktops, and a blouse that’s all really bright colors like pink, green and blue.
We ate lunch at Chipoltle and then after shopping at the mall got Cold Stone Creamery. It was good, but what ever I got was extremely rich at cold stone.

Bilko did amazing guiding me through the crouds and stores. It was funny to hear little kids reading his sign and telling parents. “The dog has a sign that says do not pet me I am working.” Smile
Well I’ve rambled enough. Thanks for reading this if you made it this far! lol

Book Recomendation.

So, now that summer's here, I actually have time to read a book for fun without knowing I should be studying. lol
This is the book I finished today. I was actually listening to it while at my brother's track meet. (I just had someone tell me when he was doing something or somebody from our team was lol)

This summary is from the NLS website:

Twisted Creek
Thomas, Jodi. Read by Kristin Allison. Reading time 7 hours 22 minutes.
Suspense
College dropout Allie Daniels inherits a lake property outside Lubbock, Texas, from her previously unknown uncle Jefferson. Allie and her Nana arrive, reopen Jefferson's country store, and meet the neighbors. Meanwhile ATF agent Luke Morgan investigates Jefferson's suspicious death--and falls in love with Allie. Some violence. 2008.

Its actually better than the summary (surprise surprise lol) so if you like these kinds of books check it out and let me know what you think! :)

I'm finally done with exams and sitting in my bedroom at home. :_ I love college, but i am sooo sick of classes! lol I' sooo excited about moving out in to the apartment next fall. I used a lot of my meal plan (about $300 that would go to waist if I didn't use it), on getting bulk food items we an use next year. mmm speghetti-oa's! lol. Can ya tell I'm tired? My friend Meagan and I were studying yesterday and 3 answers or more in a row were "asthma" and we started saying asthma for every answer and it was hillarious!
