The "NEW" love of my life....

K, so I have a new love... yes I know it might come to a shock to many of you. Since I haven't told hardly anyone and only a select few have seen the love connection in action. He's definitely quite the charmer, and when he says my name is just melts my heart. I don't know how he does it but he sure has me wrapped around his little finger. He is shorter than me (no one's perfect), he has dark hair, buzzed right now, but it's super cute on him. He's got a laugh and a smile to die for and hug that just melts your heart away. He has these super big brown eyes (at times I would say he's full of "crap") hahaha, I bet your all wondering well who could this wonderful boy be? Well did I mention he is not quite yet two? Yep that's right it's Mr. Gideon Rasmussen! Today I was visiting their house and when I walk in he's the first to greet me at the door with "HAWEE" as he throws his tiny little arms around my legs and giggles and laughs with his arms up till I pick him up. The kicker here is when I was leaving and I said I am going so give me a hug cause you'll be gone for a few days and he replied, "No!" I said, "Bud I have to go swimming." "Take me?" "I can't, you need some sleep so you can go see Grandma and Grandpa." He then got his little pout-pout fish face on and said, "NO!" So I said, "Dont' worry you'll come back and see me." This in turn made him smile and say "YEAH!" I put him down and proceeded to tell all the others good-bye. In the meantime he was asking mom, "We take baby?" "yes we are taking Ashlee..." "We take Hawee?" "No, Halee has school." He then began to cry and pout-pout fish face was starting to become permanent. She then said,"We are only going to be gone for a few days and then we will come back and see Halee okay?" He jerked up happily and said,"YEAH OKAY!" I don't care who you are but that right there makes any grey day become sunny again!
I also was talking to my mom about one of my best friends. She is nominated for an awesome basketball award and I was telling my mom I was so impressed with how she was accomplishing so many things for basketball and sports in general. My mother than said Halee, the other day she told me, "I know Halee wishes she could do these things and I know I've accomplished a lot with athletics (which she is right, she wasn't being boostful at all, I would love be able to have a shot like hers, the confidence would mesmorize anyone cause it's not cockiness) but there isn't a day that goes by that I wouldn't trade her for her life. She has a great family, her parents are still together and her family is going to be together for forever. I would give anything to have that. She has a boyfriend who is serving the Lord and doing the right things, and she is doing great things with her education....." Isn't it funny how the things we wish for the most from someone else, they're willing to give up for something you have? We don't really truly realize how precious things are until they are gone.... don't let it get there. Love who you are, who you are with, and where you are going all these things can change just as easily as the direction of a breeze. Lol, sometimes I need to be reminded of what's most important in life...

What we do for fun....

K, So sorry it has taken me a while to update my blog, but I was looking through pictures and videos from back home cause I was homesick and fell upon a game we played while I was home. Here's the rules. Two people have to leave the room. The rest of the group decides to act out a person, place, and thing. Then one of the two comes in and watches as one of the group members act it out. Then when they think they have it, they act it out to the other person who left the room and they tell everyone who, where, and what. Let's see if you guys can tell who it is, where it is, and what it is from two AMAZING, need to be in a movie actors!

This one is Stevie doing it to my father.

Okay for some reason the second and the best one can't be seen so you are going to have to guess who, where and what. See how good you are... lol by the way my family really is this crazy!

Top ten of 08'/New Years Resolution

Okay, so some of my GREEAATTTT!!! friends do this top ten list for the year and so I decided I should do that.... So my top ten list for the year of 08'

1. Surgery #1 for ACL (which should include my doctor trying to hook me up with his son.)

2. Surgery #2 just a scope. I learned that this surgery is a breeze compared to the ACL just a quicky and I'm up and out the door pretty much.

3. Surgery #3 which was supposed to be very similar to number 2 but ended up being like number one. Great year. I have spent 17 weeks of it on crutches. Allie I know that doesn't account for as long as you but I've got to be catching up at least...









4. Becoming an Aunt from my lil' sissy... isn't he cute!:)





5. I went back to North Dakota to live with four awesome roommates!

6. I changed my major, well decided to double major, in Chemistry and Corporate Fitness. Maybe, if I work hard enough I can pull out Athletic Training too!

7. I also changed my career goals to... I don't know lol I might just get my masters in Exercise Science so I can become an athletic trainer for some school, still my become a Physical Therapist but don't know for sure.











8. I went to Hawaii for basketball!








9. While in Hawaii, I went deep sea fishing for the first time and caught the first and biggest fish!







10. I also went ice fishing for the first time with my adopt a beaver dad and sis! It was awesome! I got a fish kinda... next year well this April or end of March we are going to catch a huge one! hahaha



Okay so there is the top ten list for 08' and now for the new years resolution.... I hope more than anything I can stay healthy at least for a full year of school. I hope this surgery heals well and I can get back onto the court as soon as possible. I also hope to get through this semester of school with good grades, this is the hardest semester yet, but achieveable. Most of all I hope to have fun and enjoy this next year that should be filled with some quite interesting events....
