i know that it's been awhile but i will be able to update every day from now on because i got a new computer today! yay! it's my SWEET 16 TODAY!!!!! yay!!! and guess what..i got a new computer, all for myself. it's in my room. yay!!!! and i'm on it RIGHT NOW :-) i must say, today was freaking awesome!! oh my gosh i loved it and it could not have been better!!! believe me :-) today was absolutely crazy. first of all, even before first period started moriah yelled up and down the hallway that it was my birthday..and people that i didn't even know said "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" haha it was sweet :-) let's see..nothing happened first or second period..as usual. third period i wrote lauren..as usual :-) and we continued watching saving private ryan..yay!! :-) :-) fourth period i had spanish and mrs moore wrote happy birthday to me on the board..IN espanol of course :-) hmmm then i had lunch and it was freaking mashed potato day!!! YAY! what better thing to have for lunch on my birthday..well, what better SCHOOL lunch on my birthday!! i was very happy..and satisfied :-) lauren didn't come to lunch with me..but i know why now so it's okay. i didn't see her at all today because she slept in this morning and then had an ortho appointment in the afternoon so i was kind of upset that i didn't get to see her on my birhtday..oh well :-( i missed her a lot today though. A LOT! umm in biology we FINALLY started disecting the frogs. we cut open their chests and got to see ALL of their organs!! it was so awesome! i loved it! it defiantly was the best biology class i think we've had all year :-) and it was on my birthday so yay!! a lot of people were grosed out but i wasn't..i thought it was freaking awesome. yay!! :-) :-) anyways. 9th period was cool, only because i got to see sara..of course ;-) :-) i love her!! she's the best in the world!! and her and i left early because that's one of the positive things about being a krip :-) yes, maybe i take advantage..somewhat :-) oh well..hehe. but yeah, we left early and, since i never heard from lauren when i asked her if she wanted to do something with me for my birthday, i asked sara if she wanted to and she said yes, of course. yay!! so when i got home i watched lost with my mom and kim then called sara and we decided she'd pick me up around 7:00. then when i got off the phone with her my dad came home, and he didn't know that i already knew about the fact that i was getting a computer for my birthday so he came up with a plan for my mom to take me and kim out somewhere for a little bit when he got home so that he could hook up my computer in my room :-) awe, he's so cute. he was so excited and none of us wanted to ruin it for him..especially me because he was so happy about this whole thing..so i went along with it. then when we got back he came out and told me to come with him back to my room so i did and he showed me my computer and it was awesome. he was so happy, and it made me happy..and i hugged him. i don't know, it just makes me happier than anything when my dad is happy..for reasons i can't explain. computers are something my dad and i have in common, so i don't know, i can always see it in his eyes when i show an interest in computers and stuff that he likes too. and i love that look in his eyes. it's the best in the world. and for that second that i see it..it seems better then anything else in the entire world. but anyways. after he showed me i got to look at it for a little bit while him and todd worked outside..and megan was here too..baby megan..and they weren't really watching her i guess, so she ended up crossing the street and she could have gotten hit by a car. ugh!! so they brought her to my room and closed the door and i watched her for like 5 minutes. then sara came. i wasn't even watching for her outside..i was still in my room when she came and i was very surprised because she came inside to my room and got me. i love her! my dad was standing in my room with me and all the sudden i look and there's sara in my door way :-) haha. and i was like "oh hey" and she looked around my room and then we left. yay!! we met clay at DQ and on the way sara kept calling all these guys hotties. hah. and they were NOT! and this one guy was on a motor cycle and she was like "HOTTTTTIE!!" and as he went by us he stared at her. haha we died :-) it was great. and sara is absolutely terrible with directions..it's so bad..she doesn't even know how to get from my house to pike street. and i live on fifth street..all you do is pretty much go straight :-) hah i love her!! when we got to DQ clay was asleep in his car, he says he wasn't but her and i know he was..so we honked and it scared him :-) awe. then the three of us went inside and got something to eat. i got an m&m blizzard and sara got a mocha thingy. clay brought taco bell, hah, so he ate that instead. oh yeah, when we first got in there..sara, being the retard that she is, asked them if they had mocha things and there was a freaking sign that advertised it hanging RIGHT above her head. i'm not kidding, it was RIGHT there :-) and her and i both died laughing and the worker just stared at us :-) it was great. so when we finally got our ice cream we went and sat down by clay. and right after we sat down sara took the top off of her mocha thing and it went ALL over the place. it was crazy. we had to get a million napkins to clean it up and clay and i made fun of her the entire time..because that's what we do best :-) plus, most of the time sara deserves it because she's such a retard. but we love her. right clay?? of course. so anyways. sara brought her digital camera..and you know what that means. yes, we went crazy taking pictures of eachother. it was very fun..VERY!! they are both awesome! i love them. they're defiantly the best couple ever and nothing will ever change that. ever. just being around them makes me happy..and sometimes, makes me wish that braden and i had everything together that they have. sometimes i believe that we'll get there, eventually, but i don't know. what sara and clay have is absolutely amazing. it's more than amazing. i can't even explain it. they are a part of eachother..and neither of them could ever replace the other one..it just wouldn't be the same. after we were done being crazy at DQ we all got in clay's car and went to the incredible playground. haha. wow. where the heck do i start? we got there and of course we brought the camera with us :-) and we pretty much just played and i took lots and lots of pictures of them having fun. of course i was having fun too though..i mean..duh. how could i not, when i'm with the two of them? how could anyone NOT have fun? seriously. plus, i love taking pictures, i've always thought about being a photographer or doing it as a hobby or something and sara says i take good pictures..so yay :-) i got so many pictures of them it isn't even funny. pictures of them making out..laying on eachother..ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING..and all of them are so adorable. i loved them. and half the time they would stand right in front of me and just start making out so i could take a picture of them together. yessssss i do LOVE them!!!! it was fun. and clay kept chasing after my crutches. like, i would lay them down somewhere and start walking around with them and after awhile he would go looking for where i left them..just so he could give them back to me. it was sweet :-) very, very nice of him..yay!! it got dark and clay said it was time to go. poopie on him!! so we walked over to the car and clay got in and drove off..before sara and i got a chance to actually get in the car of course..but he was just kidding..he would NEVER leave us..well, sara at least :-) so he came back after circling the parking lot and we went back to DQ. and clay went in and got his dad something then sara and him said their goodbyes and we left. when we got back to my house sara walked me down to my house. yay!!! she's the best! and before my dad let me in she gave me a birthday kiss on the cheek. hehe..yay!! i like her verry much :-) i told her that she was the first friend that i have that has, not only come inside my house to get me, but has also walked with me back down to my house. that's why i love her. just things like that. i don't know...she's awesome! she shows she cares every single day..in every single way possible. i don't know what i'd do without her. she's the only one that does that. she's does more than she has to, and she's ALWAYS there, even when i don't want her to be. she always has been. that's what true best friends do. and she's the one that taught me that. sara is someone who follows that saying "practice what you preach." she tells me things like "true friends should be there for you even when you don't want them to be" and she does that. i love her so much..for everything. sometimes i wish everyone could be like her. i think the world would be perfect if all of us cared even half as much as sara does. i love you sara..more than you will ever know!! after sara left my dad was like "boy, she is gorgeous! she must have a lot of guys after her!" and i was like "yesh, she probably would if she wasn't already dating clay. they've been dating for almost 2 years now" and he was like, "that's cool" and i was like, "yeah it is." awe, he's cute. i love my dad!! :-) :-) -lauren i'm sorry i didn't get to see you at all today. thanks for calling me back tonight though. i love you very much!! and i'm sorry you got a ticket :-( that sucks! my birthday was defiantly amazing!!
