Gracie is 13!

Today is Grace's 13th birthday (my mom's last baby is now a teenager!)  Can't wait to go home and have a birthday party!  It brings me back to first grade when she was born and my grandma made pink cupcakes and then my neighbor brought them in for our class.. I think it goes without saying but it was awesome.  Speaking of birthdays Suzana is now an aunt (as of yesterday)!! I don't know her nephew's name yet but how exciting.. I love babies.  I just had my bone practical this morning and I think it went well--so relieved!  But there's a story behind that.  On Tuesday night, I went to open lab and left without something very valuable.. my computer (No need to worry, I have it back now).  When I realized it was gone, I ran, and by ran I mean I sprinted, back but the door to open lab was locked.  Naturally I started bawling by myself on the fourth floor of the Natural History Building because there was really nothing I could do.  All night I did everything in my power to get it back (and I probably made it a much bigger deal than it was.. I cried all night-embarrassing but true.. but that is one expensive piece of machinery let me tell you.)  After e-mailing multiple people and not getting any response I decided to go to sleep (didn't work out so well but I attempted).  I must have drifted into some sort of sleep because I was awoken by some loud buzzing sound.  What could that be? Oh yeah, the fire alarm.  At that point I could barely even open my eyes I was so tired and angry but I happened to be one of the first people down the stairs.  Hannah (our lovely house mom) pulled me aside and asked my to search everyone's room with a firefighter to make sure everyone was out.. what an honor!  I didn't know whether to be happy or mad but after reviewing the situation I decided to be happy because I didn't have to go outside in the freezing cold.  Anyways, Dana and I were chosen to walk around with these men and we happened to save 3 confused girls that are such sound sleepers they did not hear this obnoxiously loud sound.  After that was over, I stayed awake on my hunt for my computer.  Between that and class I got an e-mail around 11 that my professor had it.  When I went to get it he just laughed and asked how I could forget something so floral and big (he was referring to my computer case that makes it look like im walking around campus with a briefcase but I like it.)  We laughed for a while and then I left feeling happy as ever.  Thats pretty much everything thats happened in the last two days and this may set the record for longest post ever but whatever!  Happy Thursday my friends.
