Derrick's Birthday

I'm so disappointed in myself. I'm not a very faithful blogger! I just read them. =[ Anyways, I had some new pictures, so it's a worthy time to post. Sunday was Derrick's 23rd birthday. I keep telling him that he's getting old and making me feel really young! =]

Derrick and I initially were supposed to go out to eat with Kev and Sarah Sunday night. Sarah ended up having to work and I wanted to have a surprise dinner. Derrick had asked if it would just be us four and I said, "Kev is coming for sure, but Sarah may have to work and doesn't know if she'll be back in time." So Derrick calls me and tells me sunday afternoon that he was going to go hunting until dark and wanted to cancel his birthday dinner. I was soooo upset i said, "DERRICK! You're ruining your surprise!" What surprise?? I had to tell him that he just couldn't geese hunt all night because all of our friends were coming to eat too. So the boys decided to pack up a little bit early and we went to eat at 7. Kinda late, but it was still yummy and we had a lot of fun!

Derrick and I after dinner. Getting ready to head out into the Snow..

His face turned as red as the hat!! It was pretty funny. He said he expected it though.

Well I better head to class. This presidential stuff is just too much for me today.

Everything...

Christmas break. This will be an all inclusive post, i guess. I don't even know where to start! Christmas was good. I knew everything I was getting since I picked it all out, EXCEPT my mom got me a pink Browning car decal. It's like the outline of a deer head. Most of you probably wont even know what that is except Desiree!=] Anyways, mom said, "Wow, the only thing she's excited about is her sticker that cost 6 dollars!" haha. Well yea, because I didn't know I was getting that! I feel like an expert in high school basketball and college & professional football. I've watched enough sports for the next half a year! I even went to my first IU basketball game. My dad got free tickets and gave them to me & Derrick. The poor boy had worked 10 hours that day, but I knew if I didn't tell him then he would be mad the next day!
Oh yea, the best thing so far! My sister decided she wanted to color her hair a little darker. I don't really know why. So I told her I would do it if she bought the color. We went to pick some out and I liked this one color, but she insisted it was no different than what she already had. I said whatever, don't listen to me, do what you want! So that's exactly what she did. Well, she didn't listen to me when I said you only need to keep this in for 5 more minutes either! hahahaha.. oh gosh. She ended up with BLACK hair. hahaha. The next day consisted of washing her hair 15 times with Tide Laundry detergent. Then we let it soak in & wrapped her head in Suran wrap! haha Put the hair dryer on it to pull the color out. It's still rough but looks a lot better.
Oh yea, I got a ring for christmas from derrick. It's super cute and he's so thoughtful. It's a ruby heart, my birthstone, with diamonds around it. =] I was surprised and very pleased!
The last thing... I am going to VU this semester so I can get away from Purdue, and then I will most likely be going to IUPUI in the fall. Well I must get a job since I'm staying home and still have to pay my lease at Purdue. So I'm going to work at Williams Brothers as a pharmacy technician. Suitable since I have experience with pre-pharm school & working in the hospital pharmacy. I had to go take a drug test. I assumed it would be hair but of course it was urine. Well let me tell you, I can't pee under pressure. So after three tries I got that accomplished. That was last monday. The pharmacist called me yesterday and I was like yes, i'm going to get to start soon. NO! The drug test people messed it up, and I had to go take it again. I was sooo frustrated. I wanted to say, do you realize I had to go 3 times!? Now I have to wait another week until I get a reply.

Well, that's plenty for now. I just felt like I haven't posted in ages and i'm sitting at home doing nothing right now. Hope everyone is having a great year so far. I'm looking forward to some really great thing happening and changing in my life this year! Hope that's the same for you!
