HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!

So HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY TO ME! YAY! I finally made it! Now i can go do all the stuff i've been doing for years, like not wearing a seat belt in the back seat of the car, and its legal! At least i made it to this birthday without getting a speeding ticket or getting my license taken away. For my birthday so far, I've just recieved money, but thats great because i bought a 30 GB Video ipod. So I kinda need the money. LOL. We're going out to dinner at The Cheesecake Factory for my birthday tonight at The Greene, a new Easton-like mall. I've already bought an episode of Hannah Montana for my iPod and its so cool to watch it on something this small! (Can you tell i like it, and yes i love kids shows). Brooke, my best friend, and I are supposed to go to The Beach Waterpark tomorrow for our birthdays, hers is on Sunday, but its not looking too great. It's only supposed to be like 60 degrees tomorrow. I'm sure we'll figure something out. Last year we went and we had a blast. Granted, we always have fun when she and I get together. OH and for all of you people out there that think you're too old for temper tantrums and that you won't get what you want if you throw one??? I am proof that thats not true. I not only got my Cinderella cake, but i am having a Disney Princess party, complete with plates and a pink table cloth.

On the school front, I've been talking to my roomie, Becca, a lot lately since we had an almost crisis today. Apparently some girl wants to move into the house, but she didnt fill out the contract. This girl and I dont get along too well, and they want us to room with her. AHHH! Luckily, we found out that she is possibly not going to be moving in, and if she does, it won't be until at least winter quarter. I got the class I wanted, Intro to Stats, but i didn't get the other one, Med Term since it creates a scheduling conflict, and I have too many credit hours already (21 ) But I think it will work out alright. ONLY TWO WEEKS UNTIL I GO BACK!!!! The first Buckeyes football game is this weekend! O-H-I-O GO BUCKS!

As far as the adoption goes, mom and marty decided to go ahead and do the special needs application. I mean come on, with a kid like me i think they are kinda qualified dont you? :-). At least i can admit that my blonde hair makes me do stupid stuff. Haha. I'm still beyond excited for maddy to get here though so that i can take her shopping! I have already picked out WAY too much stuff for her, like the cutest Ralph Lauren Dress. I also can't wait to get the next secret buddy gift. I helped pick out the stuff we are sending our secret buddy :-x. Its all super cute. The wait is still rumored to be 18 months- 2 years until we get Maddy, so we've discussed going through another country, but Marty and I are both digging our heels because we think Maddy is in China, actually make that I know she is in China.

Ok well I have to go get ready to go out to eat! Yummy Cheesecake Factory
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE CUTEST BLONDE ON THE ENTIRE PLANET (haha j/k)! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

ITS BEEN A WHILE

So yeah, its been a while and a lot has happened. But then again, maybe not :-)... So my mom joined a group that trades gifts every month for the adoption thing. Its part of her dossier to china group that she joined. And the best part is, its all a secret pal thing! We got a real China tea set and we also got a cute outfit from Baby Gap. We are all very excited for this adoption process. So far, my parents are considering taking a special needs child, depending on how bad the condition is. At first I was a little leery, but then when my mom told me the qualifications of a "special needs" child I was like, hey I could be a special needs child. HAHA. Multiple ways I guess :-) with the blonde hair and all. On the relationship front, the guy I was dating, Dustin, and I decided to call it quits and return to being friends. But so far that hasn't been working out the best. On to the good news..... I leave for school SOON!!! Well, I guess not that soon, but September 14. My really good friend, Becca, and I got a double in our sorority house, which is really good considering I'm not a junior and the rooms are given out according to rank and our point system. She and I are also in the same dormer (the rooms where we sleep) and I got a parking spot, another really surprising thing. We are assuming that I got the parking spot because I lived in the house last year which got me some major points. I am pretty sure I am going to switch my major from Biology to Health Management so I'm still on the waitlist for two classes I want to take this fall. I did get into the Chemistry class I needed though. YAY! Oh yeah, I was also in the hospital at the end of June with micoplasma pnemonae (walking pnemonia basically) and the flu. That was not the most fun thing I've ever done in my life, I will tell you that. And fair was just the last week of July, and for the first time in my life, I didn't go more than one day. The one day we did go, we only stayed long enough to see my ex-boyfriends little sister's goats and to get some good food :-).
For the adoption, it looks like the wait is still about 18 months...boo. At least it will give me time to crochet Maddy's blanket that I want to make her. I made one for Dustin and it only took about a month more or less to make it. And it was a queen sized one. But, by making this, I opened a can of worms, so to say, because now a bunch of people want me to make them blankets. My best friend included....
ONLY 22 days till my 18th birthday!!! YAY I can't wait!
