Speaking of birthdays.........the way to celebrate a birthday at Hesston College


Yesterday was Tara’s birthday, and it was a long, super fun, and interesting day. At 12:01 a.m. November 20, I was in Tara’s room talking. It was officially her birthday now, so the celebration could begin!! Tara, Tyler Birky, Tyler Derochowski, Peter, and I went to McDonalds at about 1 a.m. to get some food. Then we all went to bed (kind of an early night for us, I mean, we don’t do stuff every night but when we do, we stay up pretty late). The actual day was pretty much business as usual. We – Tara, Jayme, and I - went on a Zoology field trip to a buffalo ranch (Tara was sure excited about freezing outside while dodging buffalo on her birthday - not). But it was fun just because of the company. We had Tara’s camera and we made all these stupid videos that I’m sure will end up on Facebook sometime soon. Then we relinquished Tara to her family because they wanted to take her out to eat. When she got back, we went to Newells and all ate cheese fries. After driving back to the campus, we went down to the Pit (basement of Erb, the building where I live) and played Soul Caliber and Guitar Hero for several hours. Tara wanted to have a “sleepover”, so everybody claimed a couch over by one TV and we started The Prince of Egypt. Everybody fell asleep. I was good with the whole sleepover idea because my roomie and I are hosting two prospectives this weekend and I was letting one of them use my bed. So it was either the floor in my room or a couch in the Pit. We all woke up gradually this morning and declared Tara’s birthday officially celebrated. And I’m glad that nobody else in our group has a birthday until February (mine) because we will all need some time to recover from this last one.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TARA!!!!
