CRAZY WEEKEND is finally over!

Well it has been a crazy week here!!! So I'm glad that today is Monday and we are off to starting a new week! Thursday was my 22nd birthday (as well as Heather's bday... I think she's 24 :) ) Thursday was celebrated with me, Andrew, and 12 girls going to dinner at the Toad for some pizza and drinks. The night ended up being a blast but I'll let you fill in the blank with what we all did! Friday was Follies here on campus. Follies is the all school talent and variety show and anyone can sign up and they pay out for the top 3 places. Well myself and a friend did a SNL skit with Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin. I played Mrs. Clinton and we rocked it out. We ended up winning 2nd place for 50 bucks! So that was fun. I'm going to try and post some of the video online so you can see it. Everyone loved it and laughed their butts off so that was our main goal.
Saturday was a busy day! Mom came up for the football game and homecoming parade. After the game, Mom and I went to Andy's for dinner with his family and his roommates families. After that we went to the Homecoming Dance. The dance was a blast and the first two pics are from the dance.
I hate to end this blog so quickly without any details, but life is so crazy and I'm going to be late for work this morning. I'll be sure to update tomorrow or Thursday when things settle down!

Lots of Stuff... So Little Time

Well I spent last Wed. - Sun. in Grinnell, Iowa. You think the corn fields of IL are boring, well I've got news for you!!! Iowa beats our ass! hahaha The reason I was in Iowa for so long was because of our conference golf tourney!! We are 6 PEAT Champions!!! Which is extremely exciting because not only have we set school records, we get an automatic bid to the NCAA National Tournament in Florida in May. While in Iowa, a few exciting things happened. 1- One of my teammates, Nicole, shot a hole in one! First in school history so that was exciting! 2- I got to see Coop and Pat. I was in the wedding in June and it was so wonderful to catch up and see them. Coop was really excited that we visited, so we went shopping at an outlet mall and then went to dinner. After being with them for a few short hours, I realized how much I miss Coop and Pat! 3- FEVER BLISTERS!! Wednesday I had a fever blister when we got to Iowa. Thursday it had gotten worse. Friday and Saturday the pain had persisted into my face and I knew then that I didn't just have a fever blister. Sunday I spent crying a lot because of the pain and then Monday I finally went to the doc. I had spent Monday morning and Sunday night just crying because of the execuiating pain. Well after a doc visit, I have neuralgia. It is basically the damage/infection of the nerves on the left side of my face. I'm really lucky it didn't hit my facial nerve because then I'd have paralaysis. So basically I'm doped up on seriously nerve pain meds and so far they have worked. This pain is seriously one of the worst I've had in my life. This is all caused by stress, so basically I'm just trying to de-stress!!! Just ask MOM, lol she knows how awful its been.
Next on the list! Yesterday started Homecoming Week!!! The theme is Hollywood on the IC Hilltop. Tonight and tomorrow we have powderpuff games. We are the defending champs and got real football jerseys this year, so I'm excited about that. I play quarterback and we have to play the juniors. Our game tonight should be the championship game, but the luck of the draw didn't make it that way! The rest of the week we have fun activities going on with a semi-formal dance on Saturday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Travis today! I can't believe my little brother is 21! Insane how it seems like last week when we were 5 and 6 and he cut my hair while Dad was napping on the couch!!
Well I hope everyone has a great week and another Congrats to Erin Shubert for getting engaged over the weekend. I got a text from her that read "I was the first to drive, the first to drink, so I might as well be the first to get engaged!" CONGRATS ERIN

October ALREADY????

Well this post will be quick since I am sitting here drinking my coffee, reading the paper online, studying for a test I have in 2 hours, and attempting to update my blog. Today I leave for Grinnell, Iowa for the MWC golf tourney. This is our conference tourney and the winner of this gets to go to the National Golf Tourney which is in Florida this year. This following link is to our Midwest Conference Website. http://www.midwestconference.org/wgolf/2008/9_30_08.pdf You can see when we tee off and what each player shots and so forth. Also, I was named Player of the Week, so right now there's an AWFUL picture of me up on their website. This week has been crazy with trying to get everything caught up for all the classes I am missing the next 2 days. Last night, my junior high team had a game against one of my best friends, Fatty! So it was great to get to see her and her family who came to the game. After an ugly 24 minutes, we came out victorious!! It was a blast getting to coach vs her. Well I hate to get off so quickly, but time is money!!!
Also, there was a tragic death in our small town this past week with a farming accident. Please keep Nick's family in your thoughts and prayers.
