special olympics

valley went to Fullerton to help out at the special Olympics, today. it was fun, but i wish we could have had more time. everyone who was driving had to be there at 8:15 at the latest, but bc i had to take Jim to school at 8:15 there was no way i could do that, so i and a group of friends took the bus. the bus didn't leave until 8:30ish- so we didn't arrive until about 9? then we waited in this gigantically long line to get our athlete. a quarter way through the line, a lady comes over and asks us to entertain three little boys in wheelchairs. we couldn't take them anywhere, and I'm not sure they could say much. one little boy could say hi. then we wandered around, but we really wanted a kid, so we got back in line (we kind of cut in line :C but we really wanted a kid, and we were leaving in an hour.) so we finally meet a boy named Jose, who was twelve years old. we went and played basketball, and baseball (his two favorite sports), but then we had to go to take the bus home! so all in all, we only spent about 45 minutes with him. but we stood in line and cheered as they walked past, and it was great to see their faces light up, with a huge smile.

jsb

so jsb was amazing! we started out just wanting to get together at Danielle's house to do each others hair and makeup, and then it expanded into Danielle's mom hiring someone to come do it for us. that was fun, id never had it done before. prom was at the omni hotel in downtown la. we stood around just talking to people, before we went into the main room. we had dinner which was yummy- chicken and rice and veggies. there was this tomato. a baby tomato that looked nice and red and fresh. i leaned over to Amy to ask how i should eat it without spraying juice everywhere, and she said to scoop it up. so we both scoop it up, and right as i put it in my mouth she makes a bad noise. i look over, and her face isn't looking very happy :O. she says"its cooked! i HATE cooked tomatoes, but what can i do? its already in my mouth. i bit down- and oh my goodness, that was the worst thing i have ever tasted! it was still warm and everything. i was gagging for about three minutes:P the dance was fun, but a little disappointing. generally everyone gets up to dance, but this year everyone got up to wander around the room. there were probably only about 60 people dancing. there was no sink hole in the middle. Mr bras started dancing, which was hilarious. so yes, it was very fun, and i liked it. the night ended with Gary driving us home, going no slower than 80 the whole way (jk, but he goes super fast). oh, and some people were asking how to get to the same freeway we were going to, so Gary says follow us! well when he goes 50, and is dodging around moving cars, screeching around corners- i just wondered what the other people were thinking!

parties, work, and more parties

i thought i would try to illustrate my post with pics.
friday was danielles b-day, so amy and i decorated her car with bows while grace distracted her.
we had a half day for jsb, so we went over to danielle's where we had hair and makeup done. then we went to the dance, which was awesome at the omni hotel in downtown la.

we were taking pics out front, and danielle "accidentally" hit amy in the face. so amy looks pained, and the rest of us are laughing- poor amy!

i hate this pic, but i said id post it.

heres me, grace, and danielle

danielle and i looking like we usually do at eachother,

and danielle and andrea.

after we got home from jsb, i went straight to the bed. after amy pulled 59 pins out of my head (it hurt so much- not the taking them out, the them being in). so i went to bed in a different room bc i had to wake up so i could work at julies the next day. i woke up at 7, drove home, took a shower, and then went to work. i was there from 10-6. then i rushed home, changed, and went to heathers bridal shower. i was about 30 minutes late, and by the time i finally got there, everyone was eating and i walked in when Sammy Brandon was reading a "devotion," i had to walk to the very front of the room too, bc I'm a bridesmaid. then we went to a taco stand bc i was starving!

we went home, i crawled into bed, got up to go to church. crawled back in bed after church. woke up and left for my grandpa's bday party, left to go bbsit, and now i am home. i have had a busy weekend, but it was fun.
