The weekend, Fri-Mon

Ok so this weekend was somewhat busy. Friday night I went with Mom, Hannah, Lydia, Bekah & Joe to the Schaeffer Graduation ceremony, but on the way there, Lydia and Joe were throwing crayons at each other so Mom swerved over into a parking lot and called Dad and told him to come get them at the church. We got to the church and I think Mom was thinking, stay in the car to Joe & Lydia, but she didn't actually say it, so Lydia was following us up to the door and Hannah was like Dad's coming to get him and Moms' like no them and she looks behind us and Lydia is there and Mom's like what are you doing here? And Lydia says you didn't tell me to stay in the van. Anyway, we were like an hour early because Mom had to help set up, so Bekah and I just hung out and watched people. At one point Hannah came over and  Bekah's like fix your boob (her necklace) and Hannah says, which one and Bekah says all 3! :) I hung around with Bekah for awhile at the reception, then when she went to talk with her friends, I went in the kitchen and hung out with Mom. We had Napolean and Tinka from Fri-Sat and Sat, the family was going to Albert Lea to honor Nick for his Eagle Scout. We finally decided that we could leave the dogs for the day, but Sat morning, Jason wasn't feeling too good, so the family came and picked me up around 11:30 and we headed to Albert Lea, we stopped for McD's and I got fries and a drink, then we went to the church for the ceremony. It was small and it basically just solidified how perfect Nick is. After the ceremony, Lydia, Hannah and I went exploring in the church and we wanted to go up in the balcony so we went to this stairway, but it was dark and we couldn't find the light so we started up the stairs, and we were on the 2nd set of stairs and I heard my earring fall and I'm patting the stairs (in the dark) trying to find it! I was like Lydia, don't you have your phone. She's like yeah, I said give it to me so I can see!!! I found the earring and we got up the stairs but the door was locked. After an hour hanging out at the church, we went to Applebees for dinner. I just had mozzarella sticks and water. Nick's sisters wouldn't stop hanging on Tabitha and were honestly being quite annoying. Oh and I forgot that Joel was with us as well and Bekah was being an absolute pill about him being there. Not talking to him, walking away from him and not being nice at all. And at the end of the day, Bekah got out of the car and didn't stay to take Joel home. Sunday, we went to lunch with Bensons and Rebekah after I took Lydia home so she could hang with Julia. Then we went to see Epic with Mom, Dad, Joe, Elizabeth and Hannah. Monday after dialysis, we went over to Mom & Dads and all us kids went shopping to get Tab some new jeans and other clothes. They fought for awhile about who would ride with who since we couldn't get everyone in the one car. Tab finally said fine, Hannah, Bekah & Joe are all going with me because it will test patience. We went to Savers first and Tab had about 15 pairs of jeans, but there were too many people in the dressing room line so she just got a couple pairs and  I got a pair of shoes. Elizabeth bought some shirts too. Next we went to Target and got a few things and I got Hannah a skirt and Bekah a shirt and some shirts for Tab. We had to go home because lunch was ready, chicken packets. After that, I went grocery shopping with Nick, Tab & Dad. And after that, I went to the gas station with Dad where we had the slowest pump EVER, so Dad pumped a little, then drove around to a different pump! Then we went to HyVee and got some dove bars for Mom. We came back and then I took Bekah with me and we went to TJMaxx and got Tab some socks that she needed. Nick & Tab a few minutes after that and then Dad, Mom, Jason & I played Liar's Dice which is a game Nick brought over. We played quite a few rounds of that with different people.

Sister Time

This weekend, originally I had planned to go Friday night to Tabs and stay until Sunday. Well, we had a dog that was whining and barking for quite a bit and because Jason works Saturdays, so I just decided that I was going Fri. But Mocha(the dog) calmed down by Thursday night, but since I decided what I was going to do I just stuck with it. Friday night Jason & I went to see Thor, which was fun. Saturday morning was Elizabeth's game which they won. That was fun too. I wanted to leave by 3. I went to the store to get some stuff for Tab and I took a little too long so I ended up leaving late and Tab and I kindof got in an argument over texts  about how I was going to be late and there wouldn't be time to go over wedding stuff before the play we were going to. I was in Pine Island when I decided that I would stay the night (which I wasn't originally going to do), so I had to drive back to Roch and get my glasses and meds and grabbed a blanket and pillow and headed out again. *I'm really glad I stayed the night.
I got there and we went over to the library to print off the tickets for the play (which Tab was SUPER excited about!) then we went to the Stud (which is a food place in the main college building) Tab showed me how clean the lights were because she cleaned them for her job. And college people don't thank you for holding the door. I didn't really feel like any of the food there and Tab was chowing down on her weird sweettart sucker. She introduced me to their friends, David (who speaks Russian) and Peyton (a crazy, funny guy). Then we went to a gas station so I could grab some food which I was really able to eat because we went straight to the play. I took them in anyways! The Swansons were sitting behind us and Tab was trying very hard to avoid them which was funny.  we went to Cub Foods after that, where they were very friendly, then we came back and I chowed on some cereal while Tab and I did some wedding talk and some friend, school, etc. talk. She ended up sleeping on Ari's bed and I slept on hers. Her roommate told her I'm going to bed now so if you could keep it down.! RUDE! Ari had a stuffed turkey, a big stuffed turkey, in the room and a stuffed duck. She kindly put them in the closet out of view for me. Tab & Ari's room was a mess but the other roomies room was very neat! Haha.
