I am more than perfectly content!

Okay so I was getting a little bored of my last blog background because it just wasn't me. So this morning I asked Sami to make a background for me and this is it! I am so excited! This one is my favorite one that I've had so far (maybe that's because it's full of princesses!) and every time I see it, I am so happy! It is so colorful and... well, happy! So I think I'll be sticking with this one for a while. I may change the colors of the text and stuff around (I didn't do too well on the colors this time through) but the background is staying :D

How Many Hicks Does It Take?

Hahaha okay so I went to a little party at Meridian the other day with kids from FFA. Right when I walked in a kid started to Emilea and I couldn't help but laugh. He was talking about how he was tired and stuff and to me he kinda looked like he was hungover but he was just tired. Anyway, we got pizza, pop, and a table and watched Journey to the Center of the Earth. The movie was playing through the computer and showed on the smartboard through the projector. Partway through, the windows screensaver showed up so a kid walked over to the computer to fix it. When he got the screensaver to go away, the movie was minimized and he wanted to make it full again. He was pressing a button that he apparently thought made the screen bigger, but it didn't do anything. He kept pressing it, expecting it to have a different outcome (that's my dad's definition of "stupid" by the way. Just thought I'd mention that). Since he couldn't get it another kid walked up. He couldn't get it either so another one walked up.

So my question is: How many hicks does it take to maximize a screen on the computer?
Answer: Three.

Question Two: How many hicks does it take to combined get over a 300 score in bowling? Answer: Five.

There were five boys bowling next to us and they weren't all that grand at bowling... but not many people in the world are. I think the best score one of them got was ninety and the next best was seventy and then fifty (I don't remember the other two). Whoohoo!

Question Three: How many Meridianites does it take to have a fun time bowling?
Answer: Just three :)

Bowling was so much fun! I had a blast with all my new hick friends ;)

Safe at Home

Teresa arrived safely at the airport last night at around 1 o'clock. Her flight was supposed to land at 11, but there was some delay in Chicago and her flight was late. After a very exhausting trip, she is probably very relieved to finally be here. We stayed up until 3 talking and getting ready for bed and stuff. And let me tell you, it was so hard getting up this morning for school after just three hours of sleep. But I very much enjoyed today, knowing I would be home shortly. We are all so grateful for Teresa to be here!

This is my first post of 2009 (I know I'm a day late on the first day of the year, but it's still exciting!)! I am so excited and I can't wait to see what this year will bring me!
