Birthday!

Its my Birthday! I'm 19!

Sadly- I have to spend most of my day at school

New Jersey 2

Here are a few pictures of Karen and I in New Jersey and New York

the girls made a cake for Karen

Rockefeller
Mary Poppins!!
It was really cold that day- it felt so good to get in the hot tub!

New Jersey

Hi Everyone!
I have been with Karen in New Jersey!
I've had a lot of fun with the girls that she takes care of- they are so sweet.
We went into New York yesterday to see Mary Poppins. I had already seen it- but it is wonderful and just as exciting the second time- actually it was more so because we were in the SECOND ROW!
the only thing we didn't like about being so close is that 1: you can't always see everything going on- and 2: you get hit with props! (jk)

packing

I am finally really able to get ready for going to New Jersey. I just finished a ton of homework that needed to be turned in tomorrow- so I can finally start packing!

my bruise

These are day to day pictures of my bruise- you can see how it gets bigger every day

people were asking about it all the time at school

blood

i went to give blood today- and many of you probably do not know that I have failed so many times that my rate of success is 20%. So today, they test my iron the first time and i was under (11.9)- then they tested me again on the other hand and I was 15.7! just goes to show how accurate those tests are!
so I go lay down in their chair and they begin the ritual process of checking my arms for veins multiple times. then the woman sticks me- and she messed up- it hurt a lot because she had to pull it out a little bit ad then put it back in- I didn't even make it another two minutes before I told them to pull it out.

now I am typing this whole thing with one hand because my arm hurts like heck when I flex it or bend it- and it is going to bruise

I feel like never giving blood again- but I will probably keep trying
