happy weekend

That it was, because I got to see some of my favorite people in the whole world, and got to spend some nice time with my boyfriend. My mother had a nursing seminar that her work paid for her to go to in Madison, and my dad and I tagged along with her. Ty and I got them to come out to dinner at the Glass Nickel for pizza and he was there waiting for us, with some orange and yellow lilies for me ^^ we had a good dinner and then went to my mom and dad's hotel, and went swimming in the pool for a bit. the hottub was not hot :( but it was nice. They played POLKA MUSIC, of all things to play in a pool. I guess when they say adult swim they meant actual old people...not that I don't like polka.

After swimming I went home with Ty and we had a cake and presents. It was his pre-birthday party, but there were presents for me too because I'm moving away. I sewed him a blanket to cover his bed (blue on one side and green on the other) which sounds kind of weird for a birthday present, but I wanted to make him something and he doesn't wear jewelry or use purses so he gets a blanket. He really seemed to like it, though. :) He gave me a sticker from the Peelander Z concert he went to last weekend, and a webcam so we can have video chats! Plus I can talk with all my other friends around the world now too ^^

Saturday was quite the eventful day, though it started off very slowly. It was HOT outside for October. We went to the farmer's market and picked up the homemade berry jam Chinatsu says is so good (I haven't actually tried it yet though) and cheese curds to give to my brother and Jenny (but I forgot the cheese at Ty's house >_<), and ran some errands, then went back to his apartment and started watching a movie when Bill pops in. I had not seen Bill in a LONG time so it was nice. He left a while later, and then we had to meet behind the Red Gym to help with Trevor's marriage proposal. Trevor wanted Ty to write him a love song for his girlfriend earlier this week, and Trevor didn't say what exactly it was for until after the whole song was recorded. It came as a surprise to pretty much everyone because he's only really been dating her for 7-8 months. O_O His plan was to take her on a walk, and every few blocks one of Trevor's friends was going to be standing there with a gift for her, and ended where we were all standing, and we all sung her the song and at the end he took out the ring and asked her to marry him. All I can say is thank god she said yes, because we were really not sure what to do had she said no. ^^;; I later had my own farewell dinner with most of those people that had been singing, plus a bunch of friends I had invited, which was a LOT of fun :) Most of us went out to the karaoke bar afterward and joined up with another friend that was having his birthday party that night, and we sang together and just had a lot of fun.

Today we woke up and cooked breakfast, packed up my things and Dave came to visit because he didn't make it to the dinner last night but still wanted to say goodbye. ^^ The drive back home was really nice. I'm going to miss seeing the green fields and red barns of rural Wisconsin, to be completely honest. I don't live on a farm and wouldn't like to, but I love to look at them from the road. I wonder what Washington's countryside will look like, besides having mountains. Thankfully my sister didn't have to go back to Eau Claire until 5 PM so I was able to see her before she left. She came back home for our old high school's homecoming. I don't know if she went to the football game, but I know she saw a lot of her friends. Ty stayed to help me set up my webcam and for dinner, and then we had to say goodbye. I hate doing that. but soon we won't have to anymore, I hope. and we can see each other's faces when we talk now.

Time to keep packing up my room...
