i'm in ewen right now with john :) i got here yesterday around noon. john had a doctor's appointment so he didn't go to school. he was getting some blood work done, to see if there was something wrong that was making him tired all the time....or something. it was also his brother's birthday yesterday. eli turned 10. it was actually pretty cool how we all stood around the table with the cake in the center and sang happy birthday to him. the candles were sparking like sparklers on the fourth of july. it was cool. we were supposed to all go see a movie in ironwood to celebrate his birthday but i guess ironwood is having some plumming issues and the streets are a little flooded. so we couldn't go :( eli was pretty upset about that but, his dad got him a gun for his birthday and he cheered up after that.

john spent the morning playing a video game called Fallout 3 while i read my book Breaking Dawn. it was really quite enjoyable. i only have about 250 more pages to go :/ at least it's over half way!! it's getting a little ridiculous. i can't wait for it to be over and i can talk about it with kelley and erika when she's done reading them.

lacey: i was able to watch the game last night. i am soooooo jealous. that was a good game. i just imagined you and matt jumping up and down in excitment...cause that's what i would've been doing if i were there. however, i did not see you on the tv. they hardly showed any fans in the crowd. everytime they had a second they showed an interview they had with chauncey before the game. hope you enjoyed it! miss you.
