one week to remember...

so my computer is still sick :( ha haaa, so this is a little late in posting, but Ive been missing my blogging dearly. I hope to get my computer all better soon. Last week was one special week for me. It was my big 20! It was a great one. My birthday fell on a Wednesday this year and my night class didnt agree with it too well. All of my friends and I went out to dinner on Tuesday night instead, I wish I had those pictures, but I will have to steal them from sissy and post them a little bit later. Anywho, Wingers was delicious! Wednesday rolled around and I was super spoiled, thanks everyone for the birthday wishes, you made my day even more special :) Jess made treats for everyone after lab to come over and enjoy for the night. My all time favorite cupcakes, CONFETTIII, enjoying the spotlight with me is my friend Phil.
Jason was such a sweetheart on my birthday, surprised me with beautiful flowers and my favorite cookie dough icecream cake :) Thank you JASON!
Everyone that came over for treats on Wednesday, Yesenia, Tein, Jake, Cody, Durr, Bree, James, Abbs, Donnie, Jake, Brenan, Court, Brookie, Erin, Sissy, and Drew. Oh and Phil, just not pictured.
My wonderful mainerrrr :)
My adopted brother, Donnie Carson-Baker :)
My wonderful roommates that decorated my room with confetti and basket filler at midnight!
Thanks to everyone that made my birthday special! Sissy I love you!
And to add to all the excitement, we took a trip down to Denver to see Wy. He is doing fabulous!! Looks so so so great, his surprise was that he has a manual chair that he can move with his arms. He brought tears to my eyes when I saw him because he has improved so so so much since we last saw him. He has movements in his arms, just not his fingers yet, but he is trying so hard! I am so proud of him.
Wy had our whole weekend planned for us. Saturday we hit up the mall, yes this was his idea. I think Jess and I scared him away from shopping though ha ha he didnt believe that we could spend so much time in one store :)
Sunday we were going to hit up the zoo, but it was snowing so we ended up going to a museum instead. It was awesome!! FOUR floors of sweetness!!
Wy and I eating in the T-Rex Cafe.

Mom and Wy on the planet floor in the museum.
Aunt Shir on the health floor. She was a scientist for a bit. I was amazed by this floor! So was Aunt Shir, she was able to see her DNA and cells under a microscope. Mom, sissy and I was able to see how we would age from UV rays and what we would look like when we were 70 years old, SCARY!!
I had a fun filled weekend and I cant wait to go back and visit. Wy and I were able to Skype the other night, it was super fun and good to see him once again :) Denver is gorgeous! This is the view from the museum of the city.

This weekend is full of fun, I cant wait. My roommates and a few friends are headed over to Weber for the night on Saturday to watch the ISU men play some ball. I cant wait for a girls weekend :) Hope everyone is doing wonderful!

Wy.


Things are going well with Wy, Aunt Shir texted me today and it totally made my day! She said that he has a surprise for us when we get there, he is super excited and cant wait to see us. Aunt Shir also said that she hasnt seen him this happy in awhile :) always good news to hear that he is doing better.

Here is an update on his blog on how he is doing...



Good morning all..Well since Wed, Wyatt is doing much better. He is eating better but now not drinking...? He has not throwen up any more which is a blessing. He has been driving his chair around on his own. He will leave his room and go to nurses station and bother them...We had our first outting to the movies and that was really nice. He was very excited to get out. He did a whole lot better then i did. I was a nervous wreck. But he made it threw a 3 hour movie with no problems.Wyatt had many classes this week and he did well. He is learning to work on computer, so you will see he put a message on face book. They are teaching him to eat. Although he does not have his hands yet. They come up with interesting ways to make things happen.They have put him in the standing machine which has been a bigger challeng then we expected. They have also put him on the bike with electrodes which he likes but don't. His teacher for school is great, so far so good.We were suppose to go to a LaCrosse game on Friday, he took his shower , O in the co-mode chair now in stead of a quad tub.. Any way after shower we were getting him dressed and ready to go. A half hour befor departure they came in and said no one is leaving we are now in quarantine..There is a noro virus going around. 3 rd floor is now shut down. No one in, and no one out. This is for the whole weekend. Wyatt's face just dropped. He was so excited to go to that game. He never spoke much more that night. So you can imagine how bord he has been. They were going to have a super bowl party on 2 floor where there is a huge big screen TV. Not happening. So Wyatt's dad went to the store and got things to hook up another TV we found on the 3 rd floor. He went and got a party tray and chips. So now the 3 rd floor is going to have their own super bowl party in the gym... You go Ross..Come Monday it will be like school again. He has a class every hour. And we have signed up for more outtings. We are going to eat out Monday. He's alittle worried about that. He's not sure he is ready to be fed in public. The sooner we do it, the better. Wyatt is really missing Ethan. I have attach a picture I took when Ethan left. They were both sad, so I went to big lots, what a great store. lol and bought them bunny ears. They had a ball driving around the hospital in their bunny ears. They made a hit here. Every one got their cameras out. Wyatt did say i could finally put the picture on here.I do want to say a special thank you to the Bozeman Deaconess Hospital, nurses and Dr. We feel so blessed that Wyatt was in such good care there. We have heard so many bad stories from hospitals near an far. Almost every one that comes here have unbelievable bed sores and other conditions from there hospital. It really is scary the stories we have heard. SO THANK YOU FROM OUR SOLES BOZEMAN...We love you and will cherish the care you gave our son..Ok I do believe that the colts will win... Good luck all and have a great after noon. God Bless you all~Shirley~

Its been forever!!

Haaaa, love these pictures to start out my blogging!

Okay so it has been too long since I have blogged! Semester is insane, and my computer decided to freeze randomly on me.. so I owe Abbs a a lot :) (that is how much I missed blogging that I will use my roommates) So I guess Ill start with the most recent. This probably isnt a huge deal to anyone ha ha but it is to me! I met with my advisor yesterday about my program, I wont be applying to start in the fall because I am finishing up majority of my prereqs this semester, so I wont be getting points on my application for those, which it wouldnt hurt to try, but where I already know I wont be getting in then why get my hopes up :) But good news is I will be searching for a minor! Im not quite sure yet what I would like to minor in, a lot has gone through my head. My advisor said there isnt really anything that I can minor in to help me out when I do get into the field, soooo the one that keeps going back in forth in my head is Family and Consumer Science, okay so I;m sure you are saying the same thing Mom keeps saying to me, "What in the world does Family and Consumer Science have to do with Radiology?" well um, NOTHING! ha ha I just loveee the design part and textiles. I'll be looking into more things when it gets a little closer because I still am not sure, there is so much to choose from!!
Anywho back to what has been happening at school! Ive been staying super busy, my classes are alot more time consuming than last semester but I just love them! Accounting can get to me when its been long days, my health care law is an absolute blast, A and P is even more exciting this semester, and literarture.. is literature :) but my teacher is the best ever. I had her for 102 and enjoyed her so much, so why not have her one last time before she retires! Ambassadors are doing wonderful! Its so good to be back and see everyone. Two new girls are on board and they are super nice and doing a wonderful job! I havent taken as many tours as last semester, but two to start isnt bad at all! Mom and Daddy have been visiting alot, the Boys Basketball team has been playing quite a bit at home. As Mom would say, she kind of adopted Donnie, he is a player for the team, Sissy and him have been friends since freshman year.. He is the one in the pictures I posted at the very beginning with Abbs. anywho Mom and Dad come to watch him and the other boys when there is a home game. He is from Detroit so his family doesnt come to watch him hardly, so Mom always makes him a cute little basket thanking him for the tickets full of goodies for him and his roommate Tom.
(Abbs and I at the game last weekend)

(Erin and I a few weeks ago at a game)

(Malia, Court, Katie and I the game before a few weeks ago)
(White out Weber with Jaime, Abbs and Court)
As I mentioned above that A and P is even more AWESOMERRR this semester, okay so I know that isnt a word, but its so true. Last week in lab we dissected pig hearts! Erin and I were totally obsessed and couldnt wait to dig on in. The week before in lab was blood week, I was taught how to test my blood type! I never knew what type I was, but yaaay for type A!!

(Erin and I heart week)
Last week at school they did a "Build your own Bengal" night. It was a blast!! So this thing was popular, on a Friday night we got there a whole hour early! We started the line and waited an hour for it to officially begin. They were so popular that people were getting turned away. We had a friend towards the end of the back that had to wait 4 hours til it was their turn!! Benny is the name of the Bengal here so all of us decided to make it somewhat alike :)
(Shante with her Benny, Brooke didnt get the memo ah ha with her Princess, Sissy with Lenny, Cenny with Me- Kenny sounds but a C ha wanted to be different, and then Erin with Benji. Shantel wasnt pictured but she had Penny)
A few weeks ago my friend, Jeni, was passing through here. She played ball here last year but transferred to Carroll this year to play again. Anwyho Durr Bree Abbs and I went to Subway to meet up with her just to say hi!
(Durr, Jeni, Me and Bree. Napkins say Welcome back Jeni)
It was super good to see her for a quick bit!
These are somewhat old but I havent blogged so they are pretty much new :)
Over Christmas Ky, Kim and I met up for dinner in Rexburg. We hit up Wingers, the usual :) but the Wingers in Rexburg is a little different, when we first walked in the guy greeted us and said "Would you like to save 50% on your meal tonight?" We all kinda looked at each other differently thinking it was a joke, and them Kim asked him how and he said he would show us. So were here thinking why not! Poor College students is what we were thinking ;) So he takes us back to this booth, its in the very back, next to the kitchen door, has a red light above it, old vinyl looking place settings, fake flower planters held together by packing tape, and tears in the benches. We just start laughing, what we do to get a discount! It was a joke all night long. If you havent been you should really go! I cant even describe how it looked. so of course we sat there. Nothing was wrong besides the looks everyone gave you and the cold from the kitchen door swinging back and forth, but hey we got half off :)
(The worst table in the joint!)
Over break, Uncle Jerome and his girlfriend Sarah came to visit us. Sissy, Sarah, Uncle Jerome and I stayed up forever one night playing Guitar Hero and Sing Star!
(Sarah and I, had to pull a rock star face)
This picture is totally random, but I absolutely loveeeeee pickeles! Jess and Dad think is disgusting, but I love them so much that I drink the juice all the time! Anywho Jess wanted to get a picture because she thinks I'm a little odd, but I must take after my Mom when it comes to this one :)
(Supporting Daddys MSU tee as well)
We went and visited Wy one last time before he flew out to Denver. Just us girls with Aunt Shir. He is doing wonderful! We are headed out there next weekend and I cannot wait! I read his blog every time there is a new update and he is doing wonderful!
New Years Eve all my friends came over and played Farkle, Mom is addicted so she thought it would be a fun game to play with everyone! Jon and Brad came over one night and played it with Sissy and I and they loved it! So when they came over with everyone they insisted on playing it again! It was so good to see everyone, it has been forever.

I cannot wait for the up coming week! So much is going on again. I hope to get my computer back soon so when next week does roll around it doesnt take me months to blog about it :) Hope everyone is doing fantastic!
