zombies and cake...

is what my weekend consisted of.

friday night claire, linnea, and i went to zombie prom at msum. it was pretty cool. we all had higher expectations, but good company can make anything fun. here is my zombie face:

saturday claire and i shopped downtown fargo. we love shopping downtown. with so many awesome boutiques, who needs department stores? i had red velvet cake for breakfast and almost died of a self induced sugar coma.

this is a crappy phone picture of a fugi polaroid. forgive me for not having a scanner.

claire, brade, and i also went to alice in wonderland. it has been my favorite disney movie since i can remember, and i was not disappointed. johnny depp is the perfect mad hatter and the colors and costumes were amazing. i left feeling inspired. (which is why i drew a castle atop an ice cream cone today)

today (sunday) i spent with my boyfriend. doing laundry, eating malts, and watching movies and the oscars. overall, i had a wonderful weekend. AND only 4 days until spring break! i'm giddy with excitement.

February 14-16

I've been busy!

For starters, my Valentine's Day was awesome! Brade and I went to Valentine's Day, the movie. (Not that great, but cute) after that I told Brade that I would be cooking supper for him! (This is a big surprise because in the 2 and a half years we've been dating I've never made him any type of food at all. I'm an awful cook.) I was really scared! I texted my mom about every 2 minutes. I made baked mashed potatoes, bbq chicken, corn, and chocolate covered strawberries. (I know that one chicken looks burnt to a crisp, but I assure you it wasn't.) I did a good job! After the meal Brade told me his surprise. A savager hunt! I went a little crazy, and I think he enjoyed watching me more than he enjoyed my excellent supper!

Ok on to the 15th- a day before my birthday.

I was just sitting in my dorm before my last class of the day when I got this picture from my sister:

"guess where mom is"

I turned to Claire and said, "My mom is outside our door?" I opened the door and there she was!!!! I was so excited!!! Then my mom said, "Look who else is here." Out walked my dad and sister!! That will probably be my best birthday memory ever.


So today I turned 19, and let me tell you I feel the same. Well...not exactly the same. I'm a whole lot more excited due to surprises and new toys!!!

Claire, being the wonderfully weird best friend she is, got me a typewriter! An actual typewriter. It's heavy and blue and I love it. Oh, she also got my a compass so I know where I am.




My wonderful boyfriend got all of my many hints and got me a Fugi Instax Mini!! It's so cute..so so cute. I can't wait to go polaroid crazy with it. Just gotta wait for some film!!!




And that my friends is all! It was a crazy couple of days but I loved every minute of it! I have an wonderful family and awesome friends!!

Hey everyone! Sorry I've been slacking, but I've been busy!! My 3 day weekend seemed to go by so fast so I was very excited when I got the email saying class was canceled today. It's rather blustery outside. I have some big news to share.

You all know I'm rooming with Claire and yesterday we decided to do something really great. We made a roommate blog!! It's really coming along well and we have a lot of cool stuff planned to do on it. For starters we have the daily "Once Over" and "Mighty Monday." You all have to go there and check it out for yourself!!

Befriend us! We want friends!

Hello World!

This week has been crazy. It's gone by SO SO fast! I still can't believe I'm living with my best friend. How cool is that?! I'm also loving my new class schedule. No class on Friday's! Can't get much better than that. Also, Brade and I made mashed potatoes last night. All by ourselves. We think we're pretty amazing. I get to go home today! WHOO! Sorry this post is so random, but I have to get to drawing now. Hope your week has been as fantastic as mine!

'Cause I'm real

The way you walk, the way you move, the way you talk
'Cause I'm real
The way you stare, the way you look, your style, your hair
'Cause I'm real
The way you smile, the way you smell, it drives me wild
'Cause I'm real
And I can't go on without you

i feel like this song. certain people have been getting me down lately...i just have to keep reminding myself to smile and stay happy and positive.

'Cause I'm Real.
