Thanksgiving

This is going to be short and sweet :) (I Hope!!haha) I'm back at IU from Thanksgiving break and I don't really know if I am happy or sad about it! haha. Of course I miss my family already. And I enjoyed seeing all my friends, but there was a small part of me that was ready to come back. I had a wonderful Thaanksgiving starting last Saturday with the Beasley's. Then it was back to school for two days and then Break:) The Osmon side did not have thanksgiving dinner this year because it was all kind of hectic with my Uncle John being in hospital. But we did get to spend some time together. Tuesday my mom, Matt, Grandpa and I (along with one of my mom's cousin's and his sons) went to the nursing home for cake and ice cream for my grandma Ruth's birthday. Thursday Jessica made her first Thankgiving feast! G-ma and G-pa Osmon and Mom and Matt went up to Indy to be with Uncle John and the family. So Jess, Nic, G-pa and G-ma Beasley, and Dad had dinner at Jessica's. (It only took her three attempts to get the noodles right!! haha) Adara rode home with Mom and Matt so me, her, and Jess went to the movies that night and saw Four Christmases (very funny). We then went back to Grandpa's to get some rest for shopping the next day!! It was really a good break even though there was some stress. Ii loved seeing my family and friends. I can't wait to see them all again over Christmas break!! (2 more weeks, finals week, and I am done!) Her are some pictures from this week...

It is going to be a great week....

Monday. 5:45 a.m. I woke up to Hanna taliking to some guy at our door (apparently he had been beating on the door and of course I didn't wake up!) He said he was from the front desk and that Hanna needed to go to the parking lot (right next to our dorm where we park) because her car had been vandalized. We were both still a little bit out of but I told her I would go with her because 1 I was a bit weary of the situation and 2 I didn't think she should walk out there alone. So we get to the parking lot and there was about 3 or 4 cops there. I parked on the front row and hanna was on like the 5th. As we were walking to her car I saw a cop looking in mine with a flashlight so I went over there and told him it was my car. He asked me why I was out there and I told him that I was with my roomate because her car was damaged. So they got our names and info, but there was no real link to any of the cars besides ours because we were roomates. Several cars had windows busted out but it was just really random. My passenger side window was busted out and all of my stuff from my center thing and my glove compartment was taken out and spread all over the car. The only thing that was taken were two purses that I had in there but luckily they were empty. Hanna's driver's side window was busted out and one dollar was missing! Really, breaking a window for a dollar? Come on. The other cars did not have anything missing either. One guy had over $1,000 worth of stereo stuff in his car and none of it was missing! So I guess we kind of got lucky there. My wonderful parents took care of me though :) Dad found and called a glass company and I just got back from taking my car there to get it fixed..so i won't have to drive around with a trash bag on it :) haha So that was my morning! Hopefully it isn't a reflection of how my week is going to be!!
This weekend was just about as eventful! Friday night my sister and I were going to have a nice sisterly bonding night! We went and got movies and then went to mcDonalds for supper :) However the night turned out to be anything but relaxing! When we were watching the movie when all of a sudden Jessica's cat, that had been sitting on her lap just fine, attacked Tank, Jess's dog, and then turned on Jess! It was nuts! i was trying to get Tank and me into the bathroom and then finally Jess got in there too! She had scratches all over her and blood was running down her arm. Needless to say all of my first aid stuff I had learned went out the window! ha So I attemted to treat her for shock, I thought it was a good idea haha. We didn't have our phones so she climbed out the tiny bathroom window and ran to dads. Dad came home from the cabin (he was hunting the next morning) and mom and grandma came over with the vet supplies! It was sad but at the same time it is one of those stories that I get a little giggle out of everytime I think about it!!
And now I think I have babbled on for long enough and now I must go to class :( Love you all!!

Tennessee!!

This weekend was great!! Sarah and I took a road trip down to Johnson Bible College to see Brittany! Friday we planned on leaving at noon, however we did not officially take off until 1! We had to stop at Graber Post to get gas, so of course I had to go visit everyone!! It was so good to see everyone I worked with this summer. After getting some lemon drops from JD and a full tank of gas thanks to Doug we were on our way! It was about a 6 hour drive! Way too long if you ask me!! Grandpa and Grandma gave us the Garmin to use, thank goodness, I am pretty sure we would have ended up in Canada without it!! Britt kept calling us and asking us when we were going to be there. We told her it was going to be about 830 because we stopped at Texas Roadhouse and it was raining! (of course she believed us!! haha) We were supposed to meet her at their game and when we walked in at about 730 she freaked!! We completely surprised her! We watched the rest of the basketball game and then went to Applebee's for "Half Aps"(Half priced appetizers) with a few of her friends. All of her friends were so nice and it felt like we had known them all forever!! Saturday we slept in and then went to brunch. The college is pretty small (not quite like IU ha) and everyone knows everyone! After that we went to another one of their basketball games and then the three of us went to Gatlinburg to walk around. It was beautiful!! That night we decided to go to the river and Peter (one of Britt's many friends) played the guitar and we sang songs! It was so much fun and I almost forgot it was freezing!! Sunday we got up and went to church and then began the long haul home!

Sunday night was Max's birthday party and I made it back for a little bit of it. Then I went home to sleep in my own bed and drove back to school this morning! Tonight is Monday Night Football, I'm not sure who is playing, but I am sure it will be fun as usual!!

Love you all!!

Me and Sarah before the big trip!

The group down by the river! Sarah, me, Britt, Mason, and silly Peter!!

Its already Tuesday! Wow! Sometimes my weeks feel like they are going by so fast, which is ok with me most of the time!! This weekend was pretty uneventful! I guess I could start with last week though. It was a good week too :) I think I am finally into the swing of things here. I have found a couple of really good groups of friends and that helps so much. Wednesday night I went to my bible study and we painted pumpkins :) There is a couple of girls there that i have started to really connect with and I really like hanging out with them! So after bible study, Hanna and I went to derrick's dorm(derrick is a kid from Hanna's high school, and we have made friends with a lot of his friends too) Hanna and I had went to Target and got a bunch of candy. So being the little social butterfly that I am I decided to walk around to the different rooms and "reverse trick or treat" (just give them the candy) It is amazing how many people you will meet with free candy!! Danielle(the girl from my bible study) was over there too so we got to hang out with her as well. We also had a random dance party in one of the rooms which was so much fun and also entertaining! Thursday night Hanna, Derrick, and a couple of other guys went to watch a movie at the Union. They have movies there that are not out on dvd yet and they are free!! Then after that I met Danielle and a couple other friends and we went to a costume party/concert (we went for the concert!) It was an IU band that was really good!! We even got to meet them and talk to them for awhile! Friday I went home and we had a small get together because Brittany Clark was home from Tenn. Saturday was Anna's jewlery party and Jess and I went to Gate's Bridal shop. And Sunday was very relaxing as well.

I am coming home tomorrow to go to the viewing for brittany miller's dad who passed away Sunday. It breaks my heart to think about what she and her family is going through. Just continue to pray for them and the ones who were close to family as well..

The girls in my bible study and our pumkins!!
