Is it done yet?...Its getting old, I'm getting old!

No, of course it's not done yet! And will probably never be done!!! Right now the sorority house is getting a new roof. It's really not a big deal except that I live up in the attic so all I hear all day long is pounding on the roof. They wake me up nice and early at 8:00 every morning for the past week and a half now and then continue until about 5:00 in the evening. Whats worst about it is that when they are above my bed ( two feet away from my head because of the slant in the walls) each pound that they make shakes my bed...Its SO annoying!!!!

Enough of my ranting and complaning. Today I was reading my Newsweek (yes, I'm a ner I have a subscription to it) I came across an article that started out as ' 20 years ago in the summer of 1987...' When I first started reading it, before I got the the 1987 part, I was like hmm I wonder what year it was, and then I realized that it was '87. Thats when it actually hit me that I'm going to be 20 in 3 days! I'm excited for my birthday! YAY!!!

Oh the travels

This past week has been kind of hectic. Last Sunday Cory and I went down to Watersmeet for his cousins graduation, after that we went down to Gladstone to see Betsy and Trent and got way way lost in the middle of no where for like an hour down a dirt road. We finally made it though we spent Monday down in Gladstone, we went to the parade and a bbq. Monday night we headed back up to Houghton just to do laundry all day and pack up the car because Wednesday we went downstate to see Cory's parents before heading out to Maryland because Cory starts work on Monday. We stayed down there until Friday evening and then started the drive out to Maryland. We got in at about 3:00 Saturday afternoon. Didn't really do too much unpacked the car, ate dinner and became ultimate bargin shoppers!!! We were able to get a $1300 matress for $640!!!! It was pretty great.

Tuesday night before we left for downstate me and Alyssa threw Cory a surprise going away party. It wasn't very big which was nice becasue we knew everyone there for the most part, just some of Cory's good friends that are in town for the summer and the rest of the girls in the house. Alyssa and I made him a big banner that said 'Good luck Cory' on it and everyone that was there signed it and left a little message for him. We were pretty sneeky about the whole thing too. We said we had to run some errands and were going out to eat to have some girly time before I left for the trip when we really went to go set up and make the banner. That night Alyssa said she was wanted to take Cory out for a drink before he left. They went out and I went over to the fraternity house we were having it at to get the last couple of things in place and waited with everyone till he got there with Alyssa. We were all really happy how it turned out, it was a lot of fun and a good turn out all in all.
