Latest Happenings: I GOT ACCEPTED TO LOMA LINDA UNIVERSITY FOR THE DENTAL HYGIENE PROGRAM!

AHHH!

I was so stoked about it yesterday I couldn't concentrate and I had to run around my room a few times screaming. I then forgot all about my studies, played tennis with Danelle, and laid out to soak up the sun! It was a great day!

I recieved an invitation in the mail to a dinner with the Loma Linda director of the dental programs. But I had to RSVP with the career center. So I gave them a call and told them I could make it and casually asked "Do you know when the acceptance letters are being sent out?" The voice on the other end pipped up, "Oh. Have you not recieved one yet? Because you are on our list as accepted and that's why you got the invitation for dinner."

*a moment of pure glee, a very long moment. In fact, the moment is still upon me.

Now: a few pictures from tennis.

Sabbath Capture the Football

Mark is brewing up a plan

Soakin in the sunshine. Joe was a late comer, but a definite asset to the team.
Here is our team's jail (we'll call us team #2 because we didn't win any games).This is a section of team #2. Look at those enthusiastic spirits!

And this is the most popular jail site (team #1).

Our cheerleaders....

one hat, two hats, red hat, blue hat

I am a lady very much in love with hats. If I had the means, I would dedicate an entire room to display the collection that I have (ok, will have [ok, ok, hopeing to have someday]).

Nissa works for the drama department at WWC and I went with her over to the costume room. She's working on organizing it right now.

Basically I tagged along and got to try on dozens of fun hats. The little black one in the upper right corner is my absolute favorite.

Funnies

Happy Easter!

Pig skins vs. UCA Alumni

A sunny Thursday afternoon... There's a reason they call it victory (middle left)
"Here's the plan, Carley. We take 'em out one by one..."

Football players on a whole different playing field...Literally, we've never played on such luscious grass before. They must aerate often. And seriously, those goal posts were just exquisite!
Losing team...I can't believe they still smile

Calculator Games??

Ok, this is just sick. I was watching my computer screen saver and this top picture came up. I was all alone in my room and I busted up laughing outloud. I don't know why it struck me so funny...I thought Mr. Thorman was only nerd enough to play calculator games. Guess not Em and Brent!
Hope you enjoy this little memory. I do believe this was on Senior trip which makes it double sick! Look at that smirk on her face!

A Birthday Card from Your Boyfriend

Born Today

To my sweet love,
A little note of things I’d like to say.
I celebrate your precious life for you were born today.
Just think of how things might have been, taking you away.
What a different life it’d be if you weren’t born today.
There’d be no morning breakfast talks, time set aside to pray.
My walk with Christ is close and bright cause you were born today.
Where would the fun in tennis be with no one good to play?
I do my best in work and play thanks to you being born today.
Who else would stroll through galleries or hike up to a lake?
Romance would never be so fun if you weren’t born today.
So let the sunlight kiss your face since I’m too far away.
I’ll think of you the whole day through
cause you were born today.

Happy Birthday Victoria!
Aaron

To: The Priebe Fam

Hey Uncle Greg and Aunt Paula! This one's for you! Mom told me you guys check out my site and it made me happy. But I never hear from you on the comment board....No excuses this time. I guess I could say hey to Caleb, Megan, Corey, and Casey too. Speaking of those two kids, I just worked it out with my camp director to get a week off for the wedding. No way I'm gonna miss that event! Caleb, you may have to give me a few more tips on dancing before the big day...I don't want to trip all over myself and embarrass the family.

Check out my archives in December and you'll see a few pictures from the Anniversary party.

The Woolly Lambs

This is what Mrs. Mershon calls her students. :)

These boys are the soccer maniacs. Especially Brian, the one on the right. It's so funny because I can totally tell he will be a "cool jock" in high school and college.
This is Abby with me. I can't even stand it how cute she is. I think she's missing some more teeth since this picture. :)
Sami is the curly headed one to the right and she drew the very colorful artwork above. She almost doesn't talk at all, but SO sweet! She'll come up to me with a question, but I have to get it out of her by saying, "Do you need help on your schoolwork or do you need me to do something for you? Do you need me to get you a marker or glue for your project?" I might have to keep asking questions for a while before she'll commit to a question and then it's so quiet I have to get to her level so I can hear.
The redhead is Justin and he's the one that brought me a heart shaped chocolate box for Valentine's day. For Christmas I got a little candle in a gift bag with $1 in it. How funny!
These three lovely damsels are Destiny, Miranda, and Melissa. Melissa's parents are both deaf so I was able to use my sign language skills to talk with them a while. It was so cool to actually communicate like that!!
This is another shy one, Moe.

A Hairy Post

Random, I know...I just really liked my hair today. Is that so weird? It reminded me of those old fashion hair-dos of the 1800s complete with a clip. Maybe I need to update my look? What do you think? I encourage you all to take pictures of your hair today and enjoy a rainy day in Walla Walla if your in town...
