Shack Party '08

Hello everyone!! It's been awhile so ill try not to ramble on and on :) This weekend was the annual Shack Party I told you all about! And it was so much fun as usual!! But before that it was Sectional time for ND on Friday game. For those of you that were there, I am pretty sure you will back me up on this one: Those who didn't go-you didn't miss much!! Our boys were up by like 50 some points at half time so some of the girls who were there decided to leave. Liz, Kelsey, Chelsea, Sarah, and I all left and went to Walmart...It turned out to be a random girls night that I feel was WAY over due. Saturday was Shack time!! It was a chilly day, but that didnt stop us! In the morning the guys bird hunted in the field in front of the Shack..They did this for what seemed like forever!! FINALLY we got to go on a ride. There were lots of 4-wheelers and rhinos. We went back on the trails,through the creek, and of course to the lookout..one of my favorite places in the world!! We came back and had some food and just relaxed and talked until our later night ride. It is so neat to see all of the tail lights ahead of you on the trails. (I really think there were about 20 different 4 wheelers or rhinos!!) This year I brought Liz along for the experience!! I think she had a good time :) Sunday I spent the day with mom and Matt. We went to Bobes and ate and Jessica and Nic showed up after they went and watched Fireproof (rave reviews from Jess!!) Then it was time to head back to school!! This week it was really hard for some reason, but it has gotten much better!! It is already Wednesday!! Yesturday Grandpa and Grandma Osmon came up to take me out to eat!! It was lots of fun :) (and a nice break from the food court food haha) Monday night the Colts played..if that is what you want to call it! ha So Hanna and I went to Derrick's dorm to watch the game with some guys over there. That is about it I believe!! I'll update soon!! Love you all!!

Well it is Tuesday, which is one more day closer to Friday, so all is good :) ha So far my week has been pretty boring. The basic classes on Monday and then my lab today. I think I am getting over the mono, I am just still really tired! So after this I will most likely be taking a nap! Then homework!! (Of course!) I thought about actually doing laundry too, I know, shocker!! So this weekend was pretty laid back as well. Friday I rode home with Deven because my car wouldn't start. (But don't worry first thing Monday morning when my dad brought me back it started right up! Go figure!) Then Friday night my mom and I had some bonding time! We went to eat (Mexican :]) like we do many Fridays. Then we watched a movie together! It was very relaxing and I am pretty sure we both dozed off a couple times! Then Saturday I woke up and could not move my neck! It was awful! So I took some pain killers and mom let me sleep the rest of the day, literally! I didn't wake up until almost 5 I think! Then I went to my dad's house for Jessica and Nic's "wedding party" party. I was a little worried when, at 645, it was just me and her playing ping pong by ourselves! But everything was ok and pretty soon there was quite a crowd! Sunday Liz and I went on a short 4-wheeler ride and then carved pumpkins! It was so nice out and we had a good time! This weekend is the annual Shack Party and I am SO excited! Friday can't get here fast enough! I think that is about it for now! Love you all!!

Here are some pics from the weekend!!
Jessica and me before her party!

Mono+Freshman Year= :-(

That's right ladies and gents I have mono:( I told you before I was sick and we now know what it is! There is a health center right here on campus, convienently located right next to my dorm, that i went to to recieve this wonderful diagnosis!I had to go all by myself :( ha I guess I'll have to grow up and get used to that now! However my wonderful mother did come get me so I could sleep in my own bed Tuesday night and then my fabulous grandmother brought me back this morning before my first class at 10! (I am actually in a really good mood right now, if you could not tell haha) Tonight I took it pretty easy, just laid around after my classes were done at 4. Then at 8 I went to bible study :) Which I love by the way! Tonight we decorated cookies and read Psalm 139 and also Fallon, one of our group leaders, read Jeremiah 29:11 where God says that he knows the plans for us....This was such like a comfort for me. I was starting to stress about what I wanted to do as my undergrad until Physical Therapy school. It is either Athletic Training, which is my current major, or Exercise Science. Both are really closely related and all the classes transfer so I do not really have to make a final choice yet :) But now I should be getting some rest...Love you all!

Sick :( Yuck!

Well it is becoming obvious to me that I am going to have to update this more than just once a week!! Believe it or not I already forget what I did last week!! ha But I'll try to fill you in on the main details :) Monday was Monday Night Football at Derrick's ( one of Hanna's Friends) Dorm. We ordered pizza and watched the game, although I don't think I could tell you who won..or who played! Tuesday I didn't haave class!! Tuesdays and Thursdays I have labs and we took a test in there and I already did that (and got a 100% :) by the way) I think that was about it for Tuesday..I did some stuff around town, like went to the library and stuff but that was it! Wednesday was another busy day of classes! Then that night I went to a bible study in Wright (my dorm). It was a lot of fun and definately something I will be doing weekly. Thursday was another good class free day! Grandpa and Grandma Osmon came to visit and took me out to eat :) Then I went to Cru with the girls from my bible study :) Friday I came home ( what's new, right?) My mom and I went to Mi Pueblo, yummy :) Saturday I spent some of the day at my dad's and then went horseback riding with Liz at Alicia Swartzentruber's. It was so much fun and I missed it! Its been forever!! Then that night the Osmons got together and had a cook out! It was SO much fun. I love my family to death (both sides) and anytime we get together it is always fun!! Then Sunday was another pretty lazy day! But sadly, I have gotten sick:( So I am working on fighting that off but I would much rather have my mom here to take care of me :) ha Thats about it, Ill update soon!! Love you all!

Riding horses Saturday!

Golf Cart ride! It was a fun one :)

Weekend Recap!

What a weekend!! It was pretty busy for me! Friday night I hung out with Liz and Kelsey. We planned on going to Mi Pueblo, but it was too busy for us to wait, so we went to Masons instead :) Sarah met up with us later and we all hung out! I always miss them so much! Saturday Sarah and I left bright and early (6 am) for Campbellsville in Kentucky to see Mitch. We rode with Jill and Gary and of course, Sarah and I slept the whole way down there!! The game (Mitch is on the football team) was super hot and they lost so that was kind of a bummer :( Then Jill and Gary took us out to eat and one of Mitch's friends, Dwight, went with us too. He was really fun and even though he has only known Jill and Gary for like aa month he already thought of them as his parents ha! Then Sunday we went to chuch there. It was a really good service and I really enjoyed the music. We got back Sunday afternoon so i got to spend some time at my dads with him and my sister and Nic. Then I went back to my mom's for a bit and visited with Grandma for a little bit too. Then it was back to IU! Tonight my roomate Hanna and I are going to watch Monday night football with one of her friends from high school, so hopefully that will be fun :)
Oh yes and I almost forgot!!! Thursday night Hanna, Derrick, and I went to the mall and Hanna and I got our ears pierced!! (the top) It was my first "rebelous" thing i had done yet! haha (Don't worry probably the only rebelous thing i'll be doing) I didn't tell mom hehe...Friday when she got home and we were talking she noticed! She wasn't mad though :) Here are some pictures from this weekend:)

Silly Faces before our mall trip :)

Our Ears:) Waiting for the game to start!
