Sister Weekend!!

I had a great weekend. My sister came up on Thursday and spent the weekend with me. We had a great time shopping, hanging out and just being sisters. Thursday night we went to salt co.- It is College reachout- A youth group only for college students. We get together for Worship, teachings and fellowship at Cornerstone Church in Ames. Then Friday Lindsey went with me to class, she got to sit with and sing along in my choir- Iowa State Singers. She said she really enjoyed that a lot and she couldn't wait to tell her choir director-Mark Lehmann. That afternoon she came with me to give plasma- I donated she sat in the waiting room patiently.( I only do it for the money- I hate needles! If I donate 2 a week I get 50$-which goes to my Christmas gift money this year! :o) That night we went with my Bible Study Girls to a sleep over at a Cornerstone Church Family's house. That was quite the experience, they had a huge house- but Im not sure if the mom knew what a vacuum was- and they had two huge dogs! They were very nice though and really cute kids. Saturday came along and we went to the mall- we bought ourselves ISU sweatshirts to wear to the game for that night. When we got back the weather started acting up and the sirens went of -we were under a tornado watch. I turned on the news and they announced there was a tornado touch down north of Lincohn way Ave-which was right outside my dorm room. Linds and I headed down the hall to my friends room- who had a perfect north face view where we witnessed our first tornado live. It was cool- I have never seen anything like it ever.(my next post will be more about it) So then that night we went to the game-which was delayed due to the tornado. It was a great game- Linds and I were in the 9th row and had a good view. But about the end of the 3rd we got waay too cold and watch the ending on tv in my room- with some pizza and hot cocoa. That was about it- the next morning my mom came and picked her up. We had fun, and we took a lot of funny pics.

The Miracle of Childbirth...It's a boy!!

This is a little late but very worth blogging about. Some friends on my floor had the best Halloween costume ever! They paraded down the sidewalks of campus town and made 20 bucks, while also recieving free food. They started to develop their costume about 3 weeks ago, starting with night dressed in black and taking a trip to a locate grocery store to "borrow" a shopping cart. For about the last week or so they were working on this secret costume- you would find them building and sawing this shopping cart. They wouldn't let anyone know what their costume was untill the night of Halloween when they did the reveal. This was quite a site to witness. Here are some pics of them...

I suck at blogging!

hmm.. well I guess that I really suck at blogging. I should just give up now- its been over a month! wow! well this weekend was pretty fun. Being Halloween and all i got to see a lot of fun costumes and such. My classes are going great right now. I have NO midterm grades- which is GOOD. ( you only get grades if you have a c- or below! so im doing good so far. I having the most fun in my DSN 131 class. Its basically a fun drawing class. My professor, Hans Habeger, is young and cute too- so i guess thats always a plus. I have this class at 8 am-which is a downer -but the other day this girl fell asleep on the floor while drawing - she was totally passed out. it was really funny- After Hans-my professors- repeatedly asked her if she was ok, she quickly held her head up and acted as she was drawing(little did she know that she was drawing on the floor instead of her paper) it was great. And Hans, being the great teacher he is, didnt care - he just laughed. fun story
