Bombshell Brittani's Birthday Bash






It was Brittani Bergen's birthday on Wednesday the 14th of March and so we decided to plan a surprise party for her yesterday at Boston Pizza. It was awesome!
Her and I had been hanging out earlier this week and I asked her if she wanted to go out for dessert for her birthday. Then some of the girls in our unit decided to throw a surprise bash for her. Do you know how hard it is to keep things a secret in residence??? Almost impossible!! Anyways. so we began planning for this wonderous occasion. So I asked Britt if she wanted to go on a dessert date with me on Friday evening at 8:30 and she was pumped! I had to have have some deep conversation with her at 7:45 so that everyone else could sneak out without her being aware and then we got all dolled up for our "date". It was so much fun because she had no idea. I had to keep making the normal remarks that I would make such as "It's really creepy in here.. where is everyone??" and she would agree and that would be that. We went all out in our date planning. Shanna lent us her car and Heidi did our make up... Anyways. So we were off to Boston Pizza and we turned around in the parking lot and she saw Paige, a girl from our hall, and was like.. paige is here... that's going to be awkward. So I volunteered that we could go somewhere else and she was like, yeah we can go to the other Boston Pizza... Uh oh! So I quickly pulled into a stall and was like, I don't know how to get there and we're already here so lets just go in. She was all disappointed that our friends had not invited her out with them and she apparently still had no idea at this point. She was all worried about walking in and not sitting with them. It was hilarious. She was all confused as I grabbed her hand and dragged her past the long line of people waiting to be seated. As we turned the corner everyone cheered annd shouted SURPRISE and Britt looked so surprised!! She said she was almost crying! It was so cute. Then she gave me this HUGE hug and it was awesome! She is one of the most gullible people I have ever met and that's why it worked out so perfectly! Anyways. So we hung out at BP's. She had to stand on her seat as we sang to her... it was definitely so much fun!!!
Anyways. My Psalms Exegetical Paper is waiting... That sucks.

Burnt Offering

I received a severe tongue lashing from Laura Boskers because I have neglected this blog so I am here to appease her and update.
January continued smoothly. Not too much happened. Volleyball continued road trips to Cranbrook and Kelowna...
February was a bit more interesting. My brother Anthonie and I babysat these four kids from their church for a week. It was so much fun! Definitely strange to be a mom for a week. Lots of time feeding, cleaning, making lunches and doing homework with the kiddies. I had the pleasure of bringing the kids to their bus stop and to birthday parties and picking them up from their various activities. We had some scheduled "Faux Family Bonding Times" which included cleaning house, playing cards, going for a walk, and watching a movie. It was so much fun. I drove in to school every day and came home to a house full of kids. It was nice to come home to a house rather than my little dorm room. It was amazing to eat real food again! For a whole week! It was great!
February also brought along Valentine's Day. Definitely a favorite of mine... haha. Yeah right. No, it was fun though. Our school played a game where all the girls made hearts and then we couldn't talk to guys all day and if we did then we had to give them our hearts. It was so fun! I kept my heart all day to the surprise of many people. Too bad my unit didn't do so well... but that's alright.
I have to go to concession at the basketball provincials, but I will write about my reading week and my trip to Edmonton later.
