Man am I bad at keeping up with these things!

So yeah... I wrote my last post fully expecting to post the next day about how the day went. Here it is... 2 weeks later.. and I am just now getting around to it. GO ME!

Anyway, so I got to my friend's party a little later than expected. When I arrived they were loading up the wagon for a hay ride. They asked if I wanted to go, so I ran over with Alena because I figured she'd like to go. They were using 3 haybales as steps to get onto the wagon, and then you had to duck under some ropes in the door, so I had to put Alena in the wagon first so that I could get in. She did NOT like that. She screamed like crazy and then when I got onto the wagon she had a death grip on me! So we sat down, Alena still screaming and clinging to me with her life.. haha. She calmed down when she noticed 2 dogs running around and went "PUPPY!! WOOF!" After that she was fine and we had a good ride... until it came time to get off of the wagon. Again, I had to put her down, and we had a complete re-enactment of the earlier scene.. haha.

So anyway, the party was good. I talked to some people I haven't seen in a while, Alena got to pet the horses and eat veal (I think it was veal anyways), and she pretty much ran around with the kids, chased the dogs, and had a good time.

Next we headed to mom's party location to help decorate. When we got there they were already decorated! So I just hung around for an hour and a half, greeting people, until my mom came. She cried. haha. She said she had no idea and thought no one was doing anything special, up until she saw my sister's truck in the parking lot! That kind of gave it away.. haha. The party was a good time, though.

At the end of the party, mom agreed to take Alena home with her so that I could go out. So, off I went to my friend's going away party. It was outside and it was cold! We all huddled around by the fire for a while, and then as people started leaving, a few of us decided to head down to the bar. That wasn't very exciting. There was hardly anyone out, but I didn't care because it was just nice to get out of my house for once!

So that was my eventful saturday. All in all it was a good day. I saw a LOT of people I haven't seen in forever and I got to eat cake! :)
