NIU

By now you've all heard about what happened at NIU on Valentine's day. I got this idea last night to make ribbons out of the school colors and sell them for $2 and make a donation. The school has started a scholarship fund to honor the students slain in the February 14th tragedy. Here's the website if you want to learn more http://www.niu.edu/tragedy/scholarships.shtml Needless to say here's a picture of my ribbon, I know they aren't the best, but you know it's going to a good cause.

Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's day all. I'm hoping your's is going better than mine. Luke's 1000 miles away and was supposed to come home, but yay for his parents. On a happy note though, yesterday I was home for lunch getting ready to go back to work when my door bell rang. Mrs. Nolen was at my door...with a bouquet of flowers. I got a gorgeous bouquet of lilys with no card. Either I have a secret admirer or Luke didn't have them put a card in it....I'm going with the second option. Here's a picture of them with my incredibly messy kitchen table. :)

My First Post

Well it's my first post! I decided to start my own blog because one of the girls I work with has one and it's been so unbelievebly slow this week I thought it might be fun and Luke's taken off to Florida for a month so I have to keep myself busy somehow.
Yesterday my mom and I decided to try this work out video from Dancing with the Stars. I can't begin to describe how ridiculous we looked! There are 4 different dances the "teach" you. I missed the teaching part. They didn't slow down the dances or really teach you the steps, so basically mom and I flug our arms, legs, heads, you name it it ungracefully flew around the room. At one point in the cha cha you shimmy shake your shoulders/chest and when I did it, my butt wiggled at the same time. I turned to my mom and said is my ass supposed to move at the same time? Maybe you had to be there, but it was pretty funny.
