so i havent been on for a while. sorry. life has been good to me lately. kinda getting ansy to pack up and leave for home though. no worry though, i have gotten lots of it on tape. i brought the tape recorder thing back with me after easter so that I could capture some of the incidents that happened on the last few weeks of school. i have been doing a great job with it. i got the blackout because of the snow, snow ball fight, some fun stuff at the ministery house, jenny being hohoed by shana, and i will capture much much more to come. i am going to bring it with me this weekend when i go up to billings to visit jon. i am looking forward to that. i am a bit afraid though because you know how i was sick a few weeks ago, well i have a horrid headache and chills and now i am really hot and that is how it started then, so i am praying that i am not getting that again. God please! it makes me want to cry, i dont want to have that again i am afraid to death that i will have a relapse of it...
other than that, ive been having the time of my life. today i went to second long's wing activity in spearfish park. that was fun, i think i ate too much though. shana shuved a ho ho in jenny's face, i got that recorded. other than that, i have been getting my registration stuff in and been emailing my advisor and stuff for next year. i am signed up for all my classes, some are later in the evening and i am not at all excited about that. it was the only time that they were offered though. i hope it goes well. honestly i am afraid that i might have taken too heavy of a load and am not going to be able to well in all the classes. i pray to God that i will do my best. i cant afford another bad semester like last fall. alright, well cause i am not feeling too well, i think i am ganna head off to bed here. yeah, im lame. sorry...

We arent in Alaska (its melting!)
the snow is melting, today was beautiful. I went to class, only 3 weeks left counting finals. that is totally crazy. after english Ashley and I drove through the canyon. She is funny, she had another scare this weekend, her lymph note exploded and so she had to go in for surgery again. her and i are good for eachother in that we understand, she had cancer of the lymph nodes and i think God put me here so that she has someone to talk to about it and to be able to understand her in a way. it's good.i hung out at the ministery house, got lots of video of that. Great times. Brad is so funny, him and I were rockin out to the O.C. Supertones. He is my ska buddy here at BH. When more people got there we started
to do some worship with the guitars, it was good. I just looked at Jenny and tears built up in my eyes. Kinda made me want to cry, a hard thing to leave everything you have for something so unknown. Faith is the key to life though. Now I am thinking it is time to go to bed so I can get up and work out with Jenny tomorrow.the pics are of this fort that was built infront of Pangburn. Its Jenny and Shelli, Jenny is the short one trying to get over the side... hahah....

it stopped!!
the snow finally stopped a few hours ago. the no school thing today was grand. i still woke up early, but whatever. not much happened besides the snow racing down to the ground. jenny, shelli and i played disney scene it. that wasnt bad at all, i did better than i thought i would. we will have to do it again sometime.
other than that, i made it over to the caff for dinner, watched the chronicles of narnia and then hung out in shelli's room for a bit where we looked up names on yahoo.com and found some interesting pics. when jenny joined us down there we ended up looking up people, acters, that is. yeah, jenny had us look up some prety good looking ones. for example the kid that plays peter in the chronicles, and the guy that plays in pride and prejudice. not bad at all... haha, we are so cheesy.
I think it is now time to go to bed. i can feel the tiredness drifting over my body. hmmm... later

mmm mmm good
the snow has been going all day, i took my umbrella out earlier just to get the wind and snow away from my face. Mr. Hahn said I would end up like Marry Poppins and fly away with it. That would be kinda interesting.
About 30 minutes ago Erin and I checked our email to make sure if Courtney was lying or not, yep, school has been canceled. As we were checking this the power went out. It was out for about a half an hour maybe a little longer, maybe a bit shorter. Now that the power is back on and I am done with my second wind, I am ready to go to bed. I might just do that. I should actually finish my paper because I was on a streak there, I wasnt doing to bad on the paper. I am about 1/3 of the way done. Anyways, I'm off... ganna fall asleep to the wind crashing against humber and the hum of peoples laughter.

easter '06
this last long weekend has been great.
Thursday: I woke up early to study a little before I took my music appreciation test then at 9:45 I headed over to Meier hall and took my test. I rocked that! After the test, dad, Jenny, and I ate some lunch in the market place and then I drove out of the parking lot! I drove the whole way home. I missed it!! We got home around 10:30 central time. Earlier than we had thought we would.
Friday: Jenny, Erin, and I drove over to Farmstead and I told Cheryl when I would be back for work. Erin and I showed Jenny around Meadow Creek. It was kinda crazy cool. Then we went to Northwestern Book store, Jenny liked that. We also drove over to Target off of Bunker and I filled out an application. I dont know for sure if I want to work at Farmstead or not, for only three hours of work and the gass it takes to get over there it isnt that great paying. I need the money for college... Later Friday night Jenny and I went to Club 3 Degrees and saw the Sanctus Real Concert. They played with the Afters, Mainstay, and another band. It was so funny to see Jenny, she was so excited because she knew the songs and she loved the clean atmosphere. We have a bit of that recorded... :) After the concert we headed home and hit the sack.
Saturday: We headed to Northwestern College and met up with Jenny's uncle Bruce and his family. Her cousin Laura goes to college there, they showed us around campus (we had already walked around cause we had gotten there early). She also showed us her dorm room. Trina's room was just down the hall so I wrote a note on her door. We then went to lunch with her relatives at Applebees. After the "great" lunch the three of us (erin came with) went to Kohls. I was quite suprised, Jenny, shopping, thats crazy. The rest of the day was a haze, I think we just hung out around my house and watched some movies, hung out with Mya, and so on.
Sunday: Had to wake up early for church. It was Easter Sunday and Mya's dedication. After church we went out to eat at Bakers Square. I was getting anoyed with my family by then. Mom was in a hurry to go because she had to work and dad was getting impatient because of mom and Mya. Good grief, sometimes I'm happy that I have an out from the craziness. When we got back home we watched some tv I cleaned my car and then took our Sunday afternoon nap. It felt so good to take a nap. Later in the evening Jenny and I went for a walk with Dad and Mya.
Monday: I got up at 5:55 central time (4:55 mountain) and got ready, packed up my stuff, said goodbye and headed for the Children's hospital in Minneapolis. My appointment with my meds doc went well, was short and Jenny and I were then on our way out of the cities back to the Interstate to take us back to school. It was beautiful driving in southern Minnesota, the grass was green the fields all dark rich soil. Jenny fell asleep on 60 and I didnt wake her up when we passed Worthington like I had said I would, I turned onto I-90 and we were on our journey. The peace was great, her asleep next to me, soft music, the road rolling under the wheels, and the fields ahead. I think that that drive on I-90 was the greenest I have ever seen it. It was beautiful and seemed to be going really fast until we stopped at Murdo and got gas for 2.79 or something crazy like that. I had to go to band last night and I really didnt want to be there, I thought I was ganna fall asleep while playing the clarinet. It started raining a little bit after 7 and the thunder started while we were playing. I walked back in the cold rain, feeling my bed calling my name.
Tuesday: I woke up before Erin's alarm went off. I just cant sleep in here that well. When I finally got up after Erin had left I looked out the window and it was snowing. What kinda craziness is that, the middle of April and its snowing! Makes me want to vomit. Yesterday it was 80 some degrees out and now it is snowing. I told Erin that Satin must live in Sodak. Now I am waiting for 12:30 when my class starts, and then for geology lab; I hope that goes by fast, then clarinet ensamble which I totally ruin all the songs cause I totally suck, then I have to write my draft which is due tomorrow and then maybe go to CV. I am already tired and I have only been up for a little over an hour. God help me... Stop snowing!!!!
a joke: When does a turkey need privacy?
When it is dressing.. (that was off my laffy taffy wraper)

sent for a reason
that was good, i just had a great conversation with this girl named ashley from my dorm. she came in, gave me a high five, 36 hours until i get my driving privilages back!!
She was diagnosed with cancer of the lymph notes 4 1/2 years ago, her sophmore year of high school, the same year I was diagnosed with my brain tumor. She had her liceanse taken away also. Her and I talked about the experience and how we feel today, how we still think about it every day. Also how little things can scare us. We talked about how we look at life diff. than before and how we are more sensative to when people talk about cancer or things like that, make fun of handicaps or certain disorders. I told her how I feel like there is up to a certain line that you can joke around, but after that line, its a bit too sensative of a subject to joke about. It is good to know someone that can understand. I didnt have as much in my life as hers, but we are still at the same level of understanding, we understand eachother way more than someone who hasnt delt with this subject. I just wanted to say that God sent her in my life for a reason. I'm glad I have someone to talk about my brain tumor too and I am glad she feels she can talk to me about her cancer. She is going in tomorrow for another MRI and CT scan, she has to go in every few weeks and months.
She may get on my nerves sometimes because i need to get things done instead of talk, all in all though, I am very glad we have gotten to know eachother.

tuesday's trouble
the day started out well... I was woken up from my weird dream about Jon and Tony by the university of wisconsin calling me, then the radio blaring in the bathroom across the hall kept me awake in my last 15 minutes of serenity. I had to take my shower downstairs 'cause Lynette was cleaning the bathroom up here. That wasnt bad, I got to see some new scenery, a diff. shower than normal. At 10 I went in to take my geology test that I missed because of being really sick and I made up my lab that I also missed. I honestly dont think I did too well on the test, but for right now, I dont really care. I'm kinda in that meh... (shrug shoulders) should I care? mood. That probably isnt good.
I had music appreciation, we watched too many short things from movies. I have decided that I really dont like tuesday thursday classes. they last way too long. After that I had my normal Tuesday geology lab. it was on weather today. My group wasnt in the working mood, we kept getting off topic. We did it too many times. Now I am just waiting until 4:15 for the clarinet ensamble practice where I can squeak and sound really bad and ruin the whole thing. I have deceded that I totally suck at the alto clarinet. I like it, but I have just run out of energy with all the things happening to practice and put in the full effert.
Two days until I leave to drive back home.... DRIVE!!! Dad keeps messaging me and it sounds like he is excited to head back to Sodak, that man is funny.

the last weekend
this weekend was great. Jon came again this weekend, it was better this time because I wasnt sick and so on. Friday night him, Jenny, and I watched a few movies. ok, so her and I watched 4 and Jon came when we were on the second one. It was fun. I didnt want to watch another movie for a few days after that though. But now it is tradition for Jenny and I to watch a movie every weekend.
Saturday, woke up around 10 and Jon and I went to the fish hatchery and hicked a short little path to get to the rocks above the river. I had always wondered how to get up there. It was good, I probably shouldnt have hicked though, I didnt have my boot on (my broken foot), and I had surgery last weekend. Whatever, we made it so we are good. We then had a picnic with Jenny, which was quite good. I just cant deny how awesome that girl is. During the afternoon Jon and I just hung around the dorm because Erin wasnt around. Later in the evening we headed down to Rapid and walked around. That was good, except the guy who yelled out the window, "nice ***" that I found stupid and revolting, especially when I had my boyfriend right there with me. Come on now people. Anyways, we walked around, saw the sights and sat by a pond for a little bit, makes me miss the lakes, listening to the waves while sitting on the dock. mmmmm... beautiful! We drove back to Spearfish after the few hours of Rapid were done and again hung out in my dorm room. Jon fell asleep off and on, it was kinda funny. He didnt mean to though. We did have some good conversation there I do have to say. Not on anything specific besides the one topic about marriage and temptation (it was good to admit those feelings so you know the other person is feeling the same way). We will probably get married in a few years in the summer, that is if something crazy doesnt happen next year at UWS. I pray to God that nothing will happen besides growth in our relationship.
Today we got up early and the two of us accompanied Jenny, Shelli, and Melinda to the Millstone for breakfast with Jenny's mom and her mom's friend who were heading to Minnesota to visit Jenny's grandpa. That was interesting. Jenny looks a lot like her mom. It was kinda funny how much they are alike. After breakfast was church, it was hard for me to sit that long. I'm a bad kid. Then took a nap, and back to the spot near the river where Jon and I talked some more. We talked about dogs (or pets in general), having kids, our relatives and stuff about that, and a bunch more things. It was all in all a good time. It is the last time he will be to BHSU while I am still schooling here. Sad really if I think about it too much. The school year is around 4 weeks left. I honestly dont know how to comprehend that.
4 days left untill I can drive again and Jenny and my little "road trip" back to Minnesota, show her the sights!! YES!!! :)

spring has come... its supposed to snow tonight
after another hard week, I will explain later, it is so nice to be able to go outside and bask in the sun! It is so nice out today, it has to be in the 70s at least. Me, the gimp I am, hobbled down over by the football field where there is the old front of a building and read some of my music appreciation. I hope the weather stays this nice. Jon is planning on coming again this weekend to visit me. It should be a lot more fun this weekend than last when he is here. God willing. I have no clue what we are going to do, or what we can do but we will find something.
I have another doc appt. at 3:15 today. I hope that all goes well, I'm ready to be done with doctors and surgeons. I'm getting there, I guess.
I pray that the weather stays this way!!! Its so beautiful, the grass is turning green and the trees should be starting to but prety soon here. :)
