| So since my last update:
I got 2 new nephews (and got to meet one, yaaaay!!!!)
My parents got on-board and became pirates
I got CPR certified (just so you know, if you decide to stop breathing around me....)
I was hot-rocketed into a pool and survived
I experienced my first St. Louis summer day without AC
Went to the circus and saw 6 motorcycles in a steel ball, monkeys high-jumping, and tigers jumping a flaming hoop
Got a new USB hub which i love
Everything else is boring. So now you know.

| So I didn't tell you about my birthday..... it was AWESOME!!!!!! My birthday was Sunday, but Micah decided we should go out for dinner on Friday nite to this place we LOVE, Logan's steakhouse. We both got off work at 5, then headed out for dinner. We walked up to our table to see my sister Chris and bro-in-law Steve from Kansas!!! They drove 7 hours to come out for my birthday!! That was amazing :)
We had a pretty great nite Friday together, then spent Saturday with our great buddies TJ, Larissa, and Estelle at our lovely zoo! I LOVE the zoo! Steve and Chris cooked us a delicious dinner, and we watched the Holiday, one of my new favorite movies.
Sunday after church Chris and Steve took off, and Micah and I headed to a Cardinals game -- my first ball game of the season, WOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!! It was an AWESOME game, perfect weather, and they even won for me! :) Then we went to Quinn's for some pool. Micah beat me by two games, but he even admitted he plotted to distract me. lol :) but i forgive him. He made it a perfect weekend!!
But it didn't end there.....last nite he came home from work and gave me a card (he even illustrated it for me ;) ), then pulled a laptop out of his backpack -- "Happy Birthday!" Holy smokes!!!! I'm telling you, he's amazing. 
So thanks for all the happy birthday IMs, texts, wall-writings, and calls. Thanks to my friends, family, and my great guy, it was the best weekend EVER!!!

| My new favorite quotes:
"curse you, snacks!! cuuuuuurse yooooouuuu!!!!"
"I'm alrite, my spleen broke my fall."
Anyways, also I just wanted to say how amazing my cousin Annie is, cuz she and Daniel drove all the way down here to see us and it was aMAZing!!!!! We had some great times. She brought down Whitey's (oooooohhhhhh), we watched some dumb movies, went downtown to view the arch, ate at this great place called Caleco's, and hang out at our pretty sweet zoo.... It was actually great cuz I'd never really been downtown yet either.
Seriously tho, it was pretty awesome to have one of my fav people in the world come down and spend time in my new environment. Like, usually when I want to see some ppl I love we go up to Chicago, but it was neat to kinda have the best of both worlds for a weekend.
Since probably neither of us wants me to ramble, I'm just gonna post a few pics. Most of the ones we took were of animals, so I'll spare you the whole album of those....i'll just stick in a few cute ones.
Oh yeah, and ok you can't laugh at me (cuz I LIKE being a city girl!) but they had prairie dogs there, and they kept getting on their hind legs, throwing back their heads, and barking and it was SO CUTE!!!!! anyways....here they are....

Isn't he cute?!?!?!


and SOMEone was obsessed with the penguins...



but of course, I love the bears

but this was one kinda weird lookin....

and I had to stick in the seals playing "king of the mountain"

Dan and Annie looking CUUUUUUTE!!!
