Spring Break, Two-Thousand-Great!

Well, as I said in my last post, Jennifer and I were going to salvage our Northern-less spring break with giggling, packing, cleaning gyms, and going camping!
And as I also said in my last post, there will be pictures.
Here are are some of them from our camping trip. This is as close as I thought I would ever get to a buffalo! And in the safety of a car, it is pretty exciting!




That was before we had to ride our bikes past these big guys! It was WAY more scary!



Here is our tent that turned out a little bit special because it was broken and missing pieces when we went to put it up.



The fact that Oklahoma actually has a little bit of terrain has moved it a little up the scale from the armpit to being a pretty solid "OK."

Pre-Christmas Letter

Hello, friends, family, random readers, and anonymous stalkers alike!
After a creative dry-spell (or really just lack of Internet connection conveniently coinciding with a lack of clever things to say), I have returned.

Now, that being said--I don't actually have anything specific to say.
Oh well. I guess this is just the general update. :)

I have signed the papers for my very first house. Kali, Jennifer and I get to move in VERY shortly. So shortly, in fact, that I can't even handle that it's not immediately! Don't worry, there will be plenty of pictures!
Now, to clear up something right here: buying a house does NOT mean I have set Oklahoma up as my permanent residence. It simply means I'm tired of messiness; tired of paying rent that doesn't have any return; and also that my food will not mysteriously be opened for me, or consumed by someone other than me.
Buying a house means that I won't feel like a post college student who doesn't actually have a home. It means that I don't have to feel like I'm living out of my bedroom. It means I can have a lawn to be proud of. And neighbors who don't grow their own weed.

I'm also growing my hair out (again). This time I'm keeping it my normal color. That will be an adventure. A really loooong, drawn out adventure that requires dedication, focus, and self-control.

Yesterday, Kali and I were driving and we came to an important conclusion.
It is better to be the girl who poops her pants, than to be the friend of the girl who poops her pants. Let me explain:
If you are the girl who poops her pants, you still have a friend. You just have poop in your pants. But you still have a friend.
If you are the friend of the girl who poops her pants, that means you are so pathetic, the only friend you have is a pants pooper.

What else can I update on?

This week is spring break. A slightly disappointing spring break, because Jennifer and I have been planning to go to Toronto for over a year now. However, last minute (literally, like last week) we both decided that it would be best right now if we saved the money and stayed home. As sad as I am that I won't be able to make a Michigan stop-through, I think it will still be a fun break.
Here's our plan:
Sunday: earn $100 by cleaning a gym
Monday: sand/strip table and chairs
Tuesday-Saturday: pack, re-finish table and chairs, overnight camping/hiking trip, sleep, giggle, possibly go on some sort of adventure (we have no actual set "plans" other than that we are FOR SURE going camping. No idea which days yet, though).
Sunday: earn another $100 by cleaning gym again :)
It's pretty much going to be amazing. Spring break has the potential to be totally boss.


I guess that's all I really have to update you all on. Maybe there will be a photo chronicling of the break? Who knows? Stay tuned. I promise it won't be another 2 months until you hear from me again!
