Amazing Christmas

I had a great Christmas this year! The Church service on Christmas Eve was a bit different and I didn't like it very much. I got really nice presents this year. I got 220 dollars, a calendar, new earrings, a new Harry Potter Magazine, a new fleece from my relatives in Arizona, new pajamas from my aunt Kyle, and the best present I got was the New Ipod with videos. it hold about 7500 songs. It was my favorite present. My grandparents even gave me two 50 dollar gift cards so I can purchase songs from the Itunes Music Store. We had dinner over my grandparents's house and the food was so good! We had Mr. Seacrist over Christmas Eve and he gave me a Filene's Gift Card.

The good news is that my best friend Allie and I reunited. We are closer then ever now. We are getting together for New Year's Eve and we are making a scrapbook together. I can't wait to watch the ball drop. It's my favorite thing! I went bowling yesterday with TJ and we played about 5 games. I won 2 and he won 3 so he was the champ. I had fun though.

Well that's all the news I have. I go back to school on Monday and exams are in two weeks. I hope to update again real soon!

I turn 17 tomorrow!

I cannot believe it! Tomorrow between 10:00-10:30 I am going to turn 17! Where have these years gone? I am very excited. My boyfriend said he has surprises for me. I really want to know what they are! I am also throwing a party on the 19th for my friends.

I just went to a party on Saturday at Justin's and had so much fun. We played so many games of 5 card draw and I actually won a few times. We watched Saw 1 and it was so scary. It is by far the scariest movie I have ever seen. We also watched Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I had a fun time with Katie, Tyler, Justin, Cate, Christina and Jamie. I hope my party will be just as good as his.

I got my report card about two weeks ago. I had an 80 average and mom and dad did not take away my life. My grades are as follows:
Spanish-73
Concert Choir-A
History-78
Algebra 2-81
Religion-89
Chemistry-81
English-80

I guess that is it for now. I have work and chorale tomorrow night. Mary is coming home next week on Tuesday for Thanksgiving. I am excited! TTYL!

Again too busy to blog....

I hate how you think you have all the time in the world but then you realize you really don't. I am very sorry for not updating this blog in nearly a month. I have been so busy with schoolwork, a job, and my social life. Let me first start off by saying I had PSAT's three weeks ago and I was a little nervous about them. But I think I did well on them. I do not ge the results back until December. The 1st Quarter of school ended on Friday. I hope I passed everything. I was out of school on Thursday but I promised to make up everything becasue I am such a good student!

Parent's Weekend down at JMU was ok. The weather was kinda bad but I had fun with my sister. I even got to sleep in her down room on a futon! We went out to dinner at the Outback Steakhouse and we looked a tthe townhouse that she wants to live in next year. I had a fun time.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL is coming up at school. I am backstage doing props. I am excited. I think it is going to be a wonderful show. Good luck to everyone that is in it!

Well that's it for now. I'll update real soon(promise ok?) TTYL!

New Love in My Life

Oh my goodness. I am currently the happiest girl I know. My parents have allowed me to date the best guy I have known since I was a freshman. His name is Ryan. He and I were the best of friends even when I was ating another. But when I split my relationship, Ryan couldn't be hapier. He jumped at the chance to ask me out and I said yes. I of course had to get the parent's permission. He came over my house today, met mom and dad, and they really liked him. So everything is gonna be perfect between me and Ryan. I know it is!

Schol and work have been going well. Homework's not too bad. Work has gotten better but I still have one kid that drives me bonkers! I feel somedays like I wanna kill this kid! He is so disrespetful to me and Erica, we have talked to his mom so much I am sure she is sick of it, and I am sure he has been written up many times for bad language and disobediance. Kids these days, what can you do with them?

My dad came back form San Francisco and brought home cool gifts. He got me tees from Berkely and Stanford, two red jelly bracelets, and a gorgeous gold bracelet. I am glad he's home. He was gone for a week. Mom and I had a nice time together though.

Well that's it for now I guess. Updates will come later!

So sorry...been so busy!

Hey! I have been so busy and I have had no time to update! Let me first tlak about the best night of my life. I went to see HAIRSPRAY at Oakdale Theater and it was the best show ever. I ha dso much fun. Kristin was there with me, and we had box seats thanks to Mr. Seacrist and YANKEE GAS! The Stinson,s the Labontes, Kristin's Dad, and my parents were there too. The actors and actresses were so good. And the actor who played Link Larkin was so cute! I even got a tee shirt to add to my collection of show shirts! We went out to dinner at a nice restaraunt and the food was good. Even the dessert was good! I had the best night and I am glad it happened!

School has been going well. I am doing well so far in all my classes. My teachers are really nice and they are not too strict. Mrs. Dalton is a little on the tough side but I got on her good side so I am ok. Mr. Kienle is the nicest of my teachers but he is a little stressed about my english class becasue I have two kids in it that won't stop when Mr. Kienle asks them too. I got into girl's choir but it seems to be going downhill becaue Mrs. Carrol won't work with us. I am trying out for Allstates. I am a little nervous cause I am bad at sight reading.

My cousin's wedding up in Boston two weeks ago was so much fun. I loved being with my family and I even got to see my cousin Tim! Mary came up from JMU for the weekend. The wedding itself was nice but the reception was fun. I danced with two of my cousins and I danced with my dad and my uncle Ken. I did not want to leave becasue it was so much fun. The rehearsal dinner was fun too. It was a great weekend!

That's all for now! Come back soon for another update!

Ready for School!

I got my books for school on the 26th. I have Orientation on Wednesday. I got my schedule and I am satisfied with it. I got the teachers I wanted and TJ is in two of my classes which is excellent. Here is my schedule for my Junior Year at Holy Cross:
A Day- Study Hall
Spanish 3 CP
Concert Choir
US History CP
B Day- Survey of Algebra 2
Christian Morality
Chemistry
English 11 CP
I do not see why I have to have my study hall first block but I guess it's ok if I have a test to study for. I wanted to be in the lecture room but I guess the cafe will have to do. I cannot wait for orientation cause I get to see my sophomore girlies!

I'll update later! TTYL!

In the middle of a room MAKEOVER!

When I came home from my friend's house on Thursday the 25th, I saw what a DISASTER AREA my room was. So when I came home from camp on Friday, I immidietl ytook action and started to clean. I first went through everyone and threw away ALOT of junk. I went through my desk drawer and cabinet, went through my bookshelves, cleaned the desk, and cleaned my dressers. The desk now looks spotless and the bookshelf looks awesome as well. I noticed I needed stacking shelves so I bought those today. Mom said she wil get me some more(they are so easy to put together). All I have left to do is dust, vaccum, and organize my closet. My room is looking better and better as I go but I need it to be perfect!

I am so excited. I finally found a job. It sort of landed in my lap. I am going to do an After School Program at Polk School. I am going to be paid as well. I will work on Tuesday through Thursday from 3:00 until 5:30. I get paid $7.10 an hour which is a good rate. I will start on the 1st. Mom and Dad helped me fill all the paperwork out last night and I got fingerprinted yesterday too. I am all set so I cannot wait!

I have Orientation for school on Wednesday the 31st and I had my book day yesterday. I got all the teachers I wanted and my scedule is ok. My locker is not far from my homeroom which is good. I am sort of excited to go back but part of me is still saying I want summer to keep going on.

I guess that is all I have. TTYL!

Mary's back at school=(

I had a nice, short weekend down at JMU. We took Mary back to School on Saturday. We left at 7:00 and got to Harrisonburg at 4:30. We were not able to get a jump start on unpacking so we went to the Hotel. We went to Dinner at Outback Steakhouse and saw "Wedding Crashers". It was a good and really funny movie. On Sunday we went back to JMU and brought Mary's stuff up to the hallway where her dorm was. She finally got her key and brought in all her things. At 12:30 we went to Qdoba for lunch and did some shopping at Walmart and Staples. After that we just chilled until 3:00. We said goodbye to Mary cause she had FROG training. Dad and I went to the mall and I got new pants from American Eagle. We went to a Chinese place for dinner and we went to Coldstone Creamery for dessert. I went swimming, took a shower, then went to bed.

I was up this morning at 6:00. Dad and I had breakfast and then we were on the road. We stoped only three times and we made the trip home in 7 hours and 20 minutes. We had lunch at Wendy's and I slept most of the way. It is nice to be home. I go back to Camp tomorrow and I have my bookday on Friday. I can't wait.


Well that's it for now. I'll update again soon!

Bad and good day

I did driving on 84 today with an instructer. It was so scary and I almost got hit. I was moving into the right lane and a person comes up and nearly hits the side of the car. I thought I was gonna die. I was on 84 East and this was my first time. I have driven 8 South but that was not as bad. I have to practice a little more with Mom and Dad then I can go take my liscence test. I hope I pass.

I am going to Six Flags tomorrow with the CIT's from Camp. I can't wait. It is going to be a fun day. I guess that is all the news I have to report. I'll update again soon!

Here in VA Beach!

Hey! I am here in Va Beach having a great time. I was in West Virginia last week with church. We did a roof job and boy was it hot out. I first did an indoor job where we had to fix some ceiling tiles. I had to keep the dog occupied. It was fun. The roof job was hard. We had to build a slanted roof with plywood. We then put tar paper down and put new shingles down. The roof looks great and the people loved the job we did.

The weather has been nice here at the beach. We had one rainy day and that was it. The water has been great and the waves are too. We go out in the morning, we come home for lunch, we rest for a bit, then go back for more fun. It is going to be so wierd going back home. I havent been at camp for almost 2 weeks. But it will be nice to be home. I go back to school soon. I can't believe it. I have had a great summer though.

Well I guess that is all Ihave. I am going to Watercountry USA tomorrow with my dad. I can't wait!

So sorry!

A year ago at this time I was in Salt Lake City on my road trip!

Hey! I know I have not updated in so long. I have been busy with camp and other things. I first will talk about the 4th of July. On the 3rd I first went over Mr. Seacrist's for a picnic. Then I went to the Fireworks at Munincipal Stadium with Dad, Conner, and Mr. H. They were awesome. On the 4th it was Bobbie's Birthday. We went over their house and had hot dogs and hamburgers. Mary, Brandon, Conner, and I went swimming all day. That night I went with Allison to Quassy to see the Fireworks. They were majorly cool!

At camp I have a group of Mohawks. I have been with them for almost 2 weeks. I have 9 kids total and I love them all. I have 5 boys and 4 girls. Most of them are in 1st grade. Only one of them is in 2nd grade. My counselor is Sue and she is really nice. I love being with the little kids. They are alot of fun.

I have had one session so far of driving with an instuctor. I have to drive for 2 hours each session. I have another one today. If I do 3 more of these and a little more practicing with mom and dad, then I can go for my liscence. The first time I drove I was in the rain. I hope I do better today. Ona better note, Steve and Judy are here with the moter home! I was so happy to see them. I haven't seen them in a year. Curt and Ashley are also coming on Saturday. I am leaving for WV on Sunday. I will be staying till Friday then Mom, Dad, Rachael, Mary, and I are heading to Williamsburg. On Saturday we hit VA Beach! I cannot wait!

That's all for now! I'll come back and update later!

I have been so busy!

Hey! I am sorry I have not updated in so long! I have not had a lot of time. I finally started Camp! I started yesterday and it was a great day. I am a consular in training. My CIT director is Matt. He is so nice. The other CIT's that are in my group are Meri, Chantel, Kevin, Nate, Mike Deely, Mike, and Chris. We get along well which is good. On the first day I did my swimming test, played archery, played games, and had lunch. Today was a rainy day but I still went swimming. We mostly were on the lodge porch and we played games. It finally stopped raining sow e played Football on the field. The sun came out when we were leaving. I am so excited! I have my first overnight sleepover on Thursday. I hope the weather will be nice. I found my tent and I have a mattress to sleep on. I think I am going to have fun at camp this year.

Well I think that is pretty much it. I am excited about West Virginia and Virginia Beach this year. I did not get to go last year so this year I will enjoy it as much as possible. I'll update when I have more news! Talk to you all soon!

Had another fun day at Six Flags!

Hey! I had another fun time at Six Flags yesterday! This time I went with Holy Cross! I got to walk around the park with TJ! We left the school at about 8:55 and got to the park about 9:45. There was like no one at the park! We got the Q-Bot first. We went on Thunderbolt first since there was no one in line. TJ and I were in the front seat! After that we scanned the Q-Bot for Superman and was able to get right on the ride. TJ and I had the second seat from the front. It was so cool! After Superman we went on the Antique Cars since there was no line for that either. After driving them, we went on Poland Spring Plunge. I sat in the front and TJ was behind me. We got soaked! After that we got lunch we took the skyride over to the other side of the park. We reserved Mr. Six's Pandemonium and waited for our ride. We had to wait like a half hour before riding so we just chilled. After that, we went on Cyclone. It was so jerky! We took the skyride back to the other side. We went in the waterpark for a while. We played in the wave pool and the lazy river. TJ was wearing shorts instead of a bathing suit, so I had to ride on a big waterslide called "Geronimo Falls" by myself. It was fun. After the waterpark, we wanted to do Superman again. We first reserved the ride but the ride then broke down. So when it got back up and running, we got in the regular line and went on and we sat in the middle of the train. Then after getting off, we got our reserve time and went on it again! After that we did Thunderbolt and the swings. Then it was time to leave. I had a great day!

Well I was over TJ's today! We went swimming and had chinese for dinner. Tomorrow I am working at a Flea Market. If you wanna come find me, I am at the Watertown United Methodist Church on Main Street.

Best Day at Six Flags!

OMG! I had a blast at Six Flags yesterday! I went with Allie and I first watched her perform with WHS's band at East Granby High School. It was a good, short concert. When we got to the park, we checked in then went to the registration office and rented a Q bot. It is a device tht helps skip the lines for 11 rides. We called him Q-ee. The park was packed. It's a good thing we had the Q bot. It beat half the time of waiting in line. We had fried dough for lunch and it was so good! We did Superman twice.We did it as soon as we arrived and later on in the evening. We wanted to ride it when it was pitch dark but we had to leave. We rode in the first seat on the first train the first time and in the the first seat of the third train. We even got new key chains of us on the ride. We did Thunderbult twice. We then went to the water park because it was so hot! We are so happy it didn't rain. We did Thunderbult twice. We walked over to the other side of the park and did Mr. Six's Pandemonium which is a brand new roller coaster. We liked it alot. We wanted to do Cyclone but the line was way too long. We also were not able to use the Q bot and we didn't have time to wait in line for 120 minutes. We headed back towards the center of the park and did a boat ride and got soaked!. We got to stay an hour in a half later after the band left. We arrived at 1:30 and left at 8:45. I can't wait to go back with school on Thursday. I have three days of exams and then goodbye Holy Cross and goodbye Sophmore year! TTYL!

In School bored out of my mind...

Hey. I am in school right now. It is about 9:21. I am currently in Science Class but we are in the library. We did a review for our test and our Final Exam. I am so nervous about the exam. I hope I pass it. I am also nervous about my Geometry exam. I have to pass it or mom and dad will kill me!

I got to watch the final episode of American Idol yesterday. I got to see Carrie Underwood and Bo Bice perform. Carrie was ok but Bo is 10 times better. I hope he is the next American Idol. My mom and I called in about 29 times to vote for him. Mom called 25 times and I called 4 times. I really hope he wins. He is so amazing!

I am so excited! On Saturday I get to go to my cousin Jake's Bar Mitzpha. The even better news is I get to see all my mom's side of the family that I have not seen in like 1 or 2 years. I can't wait to see my cousins Sarah, Tim, and Dan. I miss them so much.

Well I guess that it is it for now. In 10 days I am going to Six Flags with Allie! I am so excited. I have waiting for this trip since like October! TTYL!

Nice weekend!

I had such a nice weekend! I do not want it to end. First I want to talk about my school's POPS Concert. It was such an awesome concert. The theme was music from broadway and movies. We (the concert choir) performed PINBALL WIZARD from Tommy, ONLY HOPE from A Walk to Remember, SEASONS OF LOVE from Rent, and a medly from THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. The concert band rocked and so did the jazz band. TJ(my boyfriend) even had a saxaphone solo! He was so good! After the concert, I went out to Friendly's with my friend Katie and a whole bunch of people from Choir. It was fun!

On Saturday I had the best day/night. I went over Allie's and had a blast. We mostly watched t.v. We had chinese food for dinner and watched Monsters Inc. We had popcorn for a snack. We played cards(mostly Crazy 8's). I went over her house at about 2:30 and I left at 9:30. Thanx for having me over Allie! We had a good day/night yesterday!

I am so excited! The Halo Awards is tomorrow night! The Halo Awards is like the Tony Awards except it is for highschool shows and plays. Holy Cross got nominated for so much including Best Musical. I hope we win most of them. That would be so awesome of we did! Good Luck tomorrow Holy Cross!

Well I guess that is all for now! I have 4 days of school this week. I am done with Driver's Ed. I have my cousin's Bar Mitzpha on Saturday(woot woot) and in 13 days I AM GOING TO SIX FLAGS!!!! I am so excited! TTYL!

Too Excited...

I cannot believe it! My sister is coming home! She will be home for the summer. I am majorly excited. I have really missed her. It is too quiet around here without her. I know I will miss being an only child but I am happy at the same time.

Today is Mother's Day. We might be going out to Mexican tonight. I cannot believe it. Just one year ago I started blogging on www.blogdrive.com. So it was May 7th, 2004 I stared blogging. How cool is that?! So to my mom, grandma, Bobbie, and all other moms and grandmas out there-HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Well I guess that is all I have to say for now. It will be nice to have Mary home. We cleaned the house today and I decorated her room. I'll update whenever I have more news! TTYL!

So Busy I feel terrible!

Hey! OMG! I feel so bad that I have not updated! I have been so busy and I have not had the time to sit and blog. So let me start off with the Musical at Holy Cross. We performed SIDE SHOW. It is about these two siamese twins who are a part of a Freak Show and they want to leave to become stars. The girls that played the twins were amazing. Courtney and Mallory you were terrific! We did 4 performances. The best one I think was Saturday night. I also got to go out after the show to be with my friends. On Friday I went to Maggie McFly's. On Saturday I went to Friendlys with Christa(senior), Katie M.(a different Katie who is also a freshamn) and Steve(a freshman but the funniest kid ever). It was fun. On Sunday we striked te set and had a huge potluck. I couldn't stay for that though.

The weekend after SIDE SHOW we went to WHS to see ANNIE GET YOUR GUN! That was good too. Kristin Chicarello who played Annie was so good.A bunch of my other friends from Watertown were in it and they were good too. Especially Ariele and Amber. Awesome job girls! I am so happy Spring Break is coming up. I really need a vacation. Allie and I are going shopping today. It's nice we get to do something before she leaves for Atlanta. I will miss her but she is going with her family and her brother will be in a robotics competition. Good Luck guys!

Mom was in VA this week with my Grandma and Grandpa. So dad and I took care of the household. My uncle Keith picked me up everyday and I went over Bobbie and Papa's house. On a hapier note I started DRIVER"S ED! I have classes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 2 until 4. I can't wait to take my permit test and get on the road! Last night was the end of our Broadway Series at the Palace. We saw SMOKEY JOE'S CAFE and it was amazing. Dad and I went out to dinner at the Waterbury Club with the Maxwells. It was fun and the food was so good. I saw Mr. Ciraly last night. It was sad to see him becasue Kara and Kelly were not there with him =(.

Well I guess I am all up to date. I will write how my Spring Break went later! Have a nice vacation everyone!

Easter was wonderful!!!

Hello! I had a fantastic Easter! Let me start off by saying how nice my church service was. I love my Church's Easter Service. I love the hymns and i love the fact that everyone comes to church. The only sad thing about this Easter was MARY WAS NOT HOME TO CELEBRATE IT WITH ME!!!=-(. She was miserable down at school this weekend. She said that she Megan, and Sarah were like the only ones there. Some of the dining hals were closed and they had no money to go out. They went to church on Sunday and Mary said she had a good time but she really wanted to be home. I don't blame her.

I have the muiscal at school coming up. I have rehearsal every night this week from 5 to 10. The show opens on Thursday night. I am on stage crew. I am working with a good crew. Mike Casey is truely the best. So is Kate Scalisi, Taryrn Agati, Matt Orichio, Jamie Pryor, and Brenden.

Well I gtg. I have a couple hours before rehearsal. Come see us in SIDE SHOW. It's Thursday through Sunday at Holy Cross. Hope to see you there!

that we may never meet again

Easter is Coming up!

Hey! What's up? I have been so busy I have had no time to blog! I feel bad though. Another one of my favorite holidays is coming up! If you guessed Easter you are correct! I love Easter. We are going out with my granparents. Where we are going I have absolutely no idea! LOL! I love our Church Service. It is my favorite. On Friday night I think I am going to the Good Friday service at the Congregational Church. I do have alot of rehearsals this week for the musical though. Every night from 5 to 10. I am on stage crew and it is Tech Week so I have to be there!

I cannot believe I have a 5 day weekend! I have tomorrow off (Holy Thursday), Friday off (Good Friday), Saturday, Sunday, and Monday (we got a special day off thanks to the Arch Bishop of Hartford!). I will probably sleep in and relax during the day. I will of course do my homework and I get a break from LCCC on Sunday. I love Easter!

I cannot think of what else to say. I know my friend Kelly is moving on Wednsday afternoon to Rhode Island (which is sad), I will be up to my ears in rehearsals, and that's pretty much it. It is snowing like a blizzard out so I hope tomorrow to possibly go sledding with my best friend.

I'll update again real soon!

~Peace Out~

P.S- To my best bud Nate- I am always here for you man! You are gonna be ok! I know it!

Fun night at the coffee house!

OMG! I had so much fun last night. I went to the coffee house at Camp with TJ and Allie. We picked TJ up at 6:30 and went to the camp. We met Allie there and signed in. There were not too mny people there. We had fun anyway. We played air hockey, fuse ball, BS, ping pong, Clue, and had snacks and drinks. Next time there is a coffee house TJ and I might perform. I am a little nervous to get up and perform.

The Westcotts came over for dinner on Friday. It was so much fun. Dan has a new nickname for me: Melon. He calls me that because of these new pants I got at Old Navy. But I still call him fatty because of his big head. Mary gave him that name when he started calling her Murial(don't ask-these two are wierd).

Well I guess that's it. I have a concert soon. It's gonna be fun. I'll update soon!

DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS is the funniest show ever!

OMG! Yesterday was the best day in NYC I have ever had. We left out house at 1:30 and picked up my aunt Kyle. We got into the city at about 3:30. We parked the car and walked around the city. My dad and I went to the big Toys R US store while Mary, mom, and Kyle went to a makeup store. After that went to the big record and cd store and then walked to the restaurant LUXIA to meet up with JoAnne and her husband Mark. They were in the city seeing Spamalot. After a wonderful dinner we walked to the Imperial Theater to see DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS (I have been to this theater before- I saw my number 1 favorite show Les Miserables here).

The show is about two con men living on the French Riviera. The first is Lawrence Jameson (John Lithgow), who makes his lavish living by talking rich ladies out of their money. The other is a small-time crook named Freddy Benson (Norbert Leo Butz), more humbly swindles women by waking their compassion with fabricated stories about his grandmother's failing health. After meeting on a train, they unsuccessfully attempt to work together only to find that this small French town isn't big enough for the two of them. They agree on a settlement: the first one to extract $50,000 from a young female target, heiress Christine Colgate (Sherie Rene Scott), wins and the other must leave town.

The music was amazing, the set blew me away, and of course John Lithgow and Norbert Leo Butz made a fantastic team. We had previously seen Norbert Leo Butz in Wicked. He was the original Fiyero. He was good in both shows.

Afterwards, we stood out in front of the stage door. It was so cold out but the news gets better. We acually were standing there to wait for the cast members to come out. I managed to get the three leading actors autographs and one of the leading female's autograph. My sister and I got pictures with John Lithgow (Lawrence), Norbert Leo Butz (Freddy-I<3>

Well that's all for now. I am excited. Mary is home for a week. It's nice having her home. I'll update soon!

Hey Peeps!

Hey! I am doing well. Mary is coming home in 2 days! I am so excited! I have really missed her! Out house has been way too quiet without her! On Saturday I am going to NYC to see DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS! I am excited for that too!

My friend Kara is doing ok in Rhode Island. She moved there last week. She is doing her best to help her mom move in to their new home. The other sad thing about her moving was she had to leave her twin sister behind who is another one of my friends. I feel so bad for them. They have never been seperated before.

I so far have a good week. On Tuesday we had a snow day and today I had a 90 minute delay. Now is that sweet or what? Last week I was only in school for two days. I had the 21st and 22nd off then we had a snow day on the 25th. I could not complain about that!

Well I guess that's all for now!
