Here is the evening last night...in a nutshell....more to come later, but for now...I simply have the most awesome roommate and friends. More later...


Dr. Bob...a "South Carolina" thing...I couldn't resist when I saw it in the store...yes, I bought it for that very reason...Dr. Bob. :)

My "cake" that Bekah tried to keep "top secret" from me...but spilled the beans when I we were in the car and I was looking for my new shampoo...hehe. She knows me well...a frog with a book. :)

The "makeover"...not the greatest pic, but maybe you can get the idea anyhow. Needless to say, the make up came off before the party...I figured of all nights that I should feel like "myself", it was last night. :)

So Bekah had us each make our own pizza's...it was a pizza theme night. YUM! My friend Steph came over from August and my friend Karin had a hand in this party as well. :)

The gang who came over to celebrate with me. I am so utterly blessed.

Probably a funnier point in the night when Bekah came to "serenade" me with a couple of renditions of "Happy Birthday"...no, she doesn't play guitar...at ALL...and then tried to get someone else to play by saying, "Come on, guys, surely I'm not the ONLY one who can play guitar!" Hehe...yeah, the first time around was painful, hence Mon Amie's hand over the strings...then Bekah discovered my favorite chord, E minor, and they sung happy birthday in E minor. It was a little depressing but quite hilarious because that's the only chord she played through the whole song!

Chatting it up. :)


My buddy Christ trying to rid the earth of me...

Bekah and Chris claiming victory in the defeat and demise of me. :)

My buddy Paul, who took over my classroom had "our" kids make bday cards for me...they were pretty sweet! :)

After the party, we had a House 17 reunion and caught up with Steph by putting her in the "hot seat" while we all had "remote controls" to pause and play whenever. :)

It was late...Tom, Mon Amie, and Bekah...what a great night. :)
More to come later....



Ok, and this morning on the way to church, Steph and I got passed by this guy...yeah, SC plates that say "IM4IOWA"...so I caught up with him and waved in true geek fashion...:)
