WAS FABULOUS!!!!
Had so much fun Friday night with Sara and then on Sunday with both Sara and Lisa, it was so fun for my two closest friends to finally meet!!!
Friday was fun, Sara and I just walked around and checked out everything going on, I am so going to miss my dome sweet home! :(
and we also got Drew Butera's autograph, he is so cute!!
and then Saturday i lounged around, which was VERY needed!! and then on Sunday my alarm clock went off at 5:30 AM!!!! people that is AM!!!! ahhhh!!!! i wanted to shut it off, but i had to get ready, our goal was to get Justin Morneau's autograph, so off we went! it was nice to see the sun rise too on the way to the dome!
after getting there, we got in line and practically ran to Morneau's autograph line!! and we got in! YAH!! i actually talked to him too, i was like "I hope you stay with the Twins" since his contract is up at the end of the year, and he was like "I would like that!" I can't believe I talked to him!! ahh! i get so tongue tied around my heros, notice my heros are twins players (and figure skaters) not hollywood celebrities!
after that we hung around the photo booth to see Drew and JOE!!! YAH!!! so happy to see him, it was so cute seeing him take pictures with little babies, like a parent would just hand off there baby, how cool to think years later how Joe Mauer held you as a baby! haha!!!
after that we followed Joe to the interview station, and the guys over there asked about his marriage, so sad.
but then they announced that Joe Mauer's colored wristband was the color we got, YAH!!! they had this stupid wristband thing where you pick a color, and they draw it randomly, and they drew ours, so Sara and I ran (for real) and got in line and we got Joe's autograph too! he is so darn cute! i took a picture of him right in front of his face and i forgot to shut the flash off, i felt so bad! I was like "I'm so sorry!" and he was like "no problem" and smiled his beautiful smile!! i love him so much!!!
after that we had lunch, walked around and took off for home. it was sleeting/snowing/raining/everything so we took off earlier, but it was such a fun weekend and it was just great that Lisa and Sara met and got along! YAH!!
so twinsfest 2013 was a SUCCESS!!!!! :)

wow, what a weekend! It felt like it went SOOOOO fast, of course; they all do though!
Don't they?
It started out with meeting Sara for supper, we went to Red Lobster for my "last supper" before I joined weight watchers. I'll get to that in a second, but it was funny beforehand, because Sara called me and was like "I need to go to target, can we meet up after that?" and i was like "I'm at Target right now!" haha! so random! and then we ran into a woman who used to be Sara's neighbor and she was the mom of my brothers friend back in elementary school, so we caught up with her, and then it was RED LOBSTER time, which was SOOOOO good! i love the cheddar biscuits, but I don't like the bottoms, sara always makes fun of me for that, which I'm not sure why, since she gets the bottoms!! :)
after Red Lobster we went back to Sara's to celebrate CHRISTMAS! YAH! i gots me lots of cool stuff from Sara, and then after that we watched Elf, which is HILARIOUS! we were supposed to watch Rudolph too, but we were both so tired, especially since Sara fell asleep in the middle of the movie. If she comments, I am sure she will right that her eyes hurt!! :)
then it was bed time, because we had to be up EARLY (okay, what i consider early!) for joining weight watchers. I was pretty nervous, but it was a very good day! Fun getting to know the leaders and meeting people who have had success off of the program. I mean I know Sara has had TONS of success, but it was nice to meet strangers that have success!
I was really nervous about the whole "counting points" thing, but so far its going well!! i even got this calculator gadget type thing, to help me calculate points at the grocery store, so that was fun! sara and her mom took me grocery shopping afterwards and I am actually trying new things, LIKE TURKEY BURGERS!! i know right!!!
after our weight watchers day, we were there for like 4 hours, I went to church and it was so good to worship Jesus. I just keep praying that I am able to take this journey, with him too!!!
and today went good. I had a full day to figure out my points and the whole program, so that was good. And i even went ice skating. Okay, I tried ice skating. IT WAS FREEZING and i forgot how hard skating is. They make it look so easy!!! And Kristi Yamaguchi, I ain't! haha!
well its been a great weekend. Let's all have a great week!! :)

Paula
I talked to my old high school friend Paula on the phone the other night for almost an hour, it was so nice to catch up with her. I just hate that we've missed so much time over a stupid and petty fight. ugh!! she is getting married soon, ahhhh!! craziness!
so many fun memories with her. her mom is the one that just got diagnosed with breast cancer, and I was reaching out to her because of that, i know how it is with a sick parent, so it will just be nice that if one good thing comes out of her mom having cancer, is that we are reunited!
i've really missed her, so it was good! and we are getting together in a couple weeks! YAH! can't wait to see "Pete!" although she's getting married so she won't be Pete for too much longer. last name=peterson! just an fyi!!! :)

Sad news, cancer sucks!
My best friend from high school told me today that her mom has breast cancer, and her mom's birthday is today. SO SAD! i hate cancer, and bad health. I'm gonna talk to her tomorrow, and we haven't spoken in a few years, so I'm especially nervous because I want to say the right thing. Please be in prayer for her, her family, and for me as well. That I don't blow this opportunity to be a good friend, just because of a petty fight that happened awhile back. UGH! I am so disgusted with myself sometimes.
PRAY please! Thanks!
PRAY please! Thanks!

Sommers Family Christmas 2012
It started out with going home on the day before Christmas Eve, which was so fun! We decided to go light looking, like we normally do, and caroling at the Edmonson's house, family friends of ours. This tradition started a long time ago when a house in clearwater, turns out the guys granddaughter is my roomate now, but anway, we always went to check out his crazy Christmas lights, then when we found out the Edmonson's lived near there, we started going to there house to carol, and then that family stopped doing the lights, but now a different family does a light/music show, which is so awesome! Here's the website
clearwaterlights.org.
after that we changed things up a bit, and got pizza, and boy did we get PIZZA!!!! and then it was basically relax the rest of the way! We slept in Christmas Eve day, and then just hung out, eating of course, and we watched some movies, we only watched a part out of Home Alone, i LOVE that movie!
Then it was Christmas Eve Service time, which was so good!! Love singing with my family and celebrating the birth of Jesus with my home church, its always fun to go back. Granted I don't live that far away, but i love my church in st. cloud too!!!
It was fun to catch up with the Magnuson family, family friends of ours. There kids are our age, so we grew up with them, and we took our annual Magnuson/Sommers kid picture, but Bret and his wife and there new baby girl didn't make it, which was so sad. After the service we went home, and the Magnuson's wanted to see my parents new kitchen, so it was fun to just hang out with them.
Then it was presents time! So much fun! I wanted to read the Christmas story this year, and so mom and Kev read a bit, but then mom went too far, so I just read some of the next chapter! and after reading the story its time for PRESENTS! YAH!!!
i got lots of fun stuff, a really cute brown/pink bible from my brother, lots of awesome things from my parents, and a Sound of Music book that the 7 Von Trapp actors wrote, along with Edelweiss lip stick, which is pretty, and Austrian coin earrings from Jackie!! so awesome! and dad loved my present, I found a super cute mickey album and put pictures of our trip from last year in the album! YAH, best kid award = me! but it was just nice and relaxing. after that, we all dispersed, since kev got a bunch of movies, and Jackie, dad, and I got books to read!
We then got up a bit early, because Santa does still come to the Sommers household, even though the youngest is 25, and he was so good to us!! as usual! although his handwriting looks very similar to my moms! haha!
after that we watched the Disney Christmas parade, and dad wants to start planning a trip next year! YAH! I think just me and him, and then it was relax time, and then i went home later in the afternoon. its always so hard for me after the holidays. I still have my Christmas stuff up, not sure when it will come down! i do feel badly for people going through hard times during the holidays, especially that shooting with the kids in Connecticut the week before Christmas, ugh! But i had a Merry Christmas, and i hope that you all did too!
Best wishes for a beautiful 2013!!! YAH!!

Happy New Years
Bringing in the new year with Sara this year was so much fun! It started out with meeting her mom and her mom's friends at Granite City, which was okay.
Then Sara and I went to see the Christmas lights that my family goes to see every year, but I just felt like dad never gave us a chance to see alot of the display, so Sara said we should go, so we did. It was AWESOME! a lot less crowded on New Years Eve. They even used one of the songs from a lights show at Disney, which my dad would've loved!!! clearwaterlights.org.
we proceeded to head to Sara's house, since I am house hunting, so we switched it up this year, and then the announcer voice, which is super creepy and more halloweeney than Christmas said "Stay tuned for a photo op", so of course, we turned around and went back. The people around us probably thought we were crazy!! haha!
after that we drove around some more, since there are a lot of pretty lights in Sara's neighborhood, then we went back to Sara's, and her brother just moved out so she redid his old room and now has the SARA CAVE, which is super cool!! its our fun little hang out, and she got it done just in time for New Years.
After that Sara's mom and her friends stopped by because we had told them about an old game called Dream Phone, any girl who grew up in the 90's will now about this awesome game. "your right I really like you!" haha! so fun, so we played that.
Then it was time to ring in 2013, so we did, of course with apple juice and fake wine aka grape juice, and then after watching the ball drop and sadly no Dick Clark (he died in 2012) we watched a movie called New Years Eve, which was suprisingly really good.
Then it was BED TIME!!!! it was like 3 am by the time we went to bed! after being woken up early by Sara and her mom, which was great since Sara made waffles, we proceeded to be lazy all day and watch old shows like Saved by the Bell and Boy Meets World, while Sara organized her DVD library, I am not kidding, we counted her main DVD's and she has well over 200!!!! CRAZINESS, but really fun!
I then came home to do laundry and continue being lazy, but on 1-12-13, man I gotta get used to writing 2013, I am joining weight watchers. I hate giving up control, but I know I need to do this! so I could use some prayers and well wishes on this new adventure.
Let's make 2013 FABULOUS!! PS I cannot believe it will be 10 years since I graduated from high school this summer!! CRAZY!!!
