Happy Birthday To Me

Good morning all. Yes, I am actually writing at a time of day when this side of the world is awake. I wanted to compose this blog at 1 AM morning, but Nathan's computer was being uncooperative, and a certain possessive sister of mine wouldn't let me use hers.

Well, it's my birthday. That's right, I'm 19 years old. Let's review this past year

1) A year ago today I was probably getting ready in the upstairs bathroom with Sheryl, rockin out to something girly. As with today, I was served breakfast in bed by my lovely mommy (we stayed at her apartment tonight) and then I opened presents from immediate family.

2) Three days later, Nathan took me to Chanhassen dinner theatre...and proposed. It was the most perfect proposal in the WHOLE WORLD.

3) In late February, we wrapped up Masquers' "Some Enchanted Evening" and Mom and I moved into our Forest Lake apartment.

4) Nathan and I began to plan our wedding, and I got a job hostessing at Key's Cafe in Flake. (Not my favorite kind of job...the clothes are so not my style)

5) College searching continues. I am increasingly indecisive.

6) A decision at last! About 10 minutes on NWC campus and I knew it was the place for me.

7) Three months of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolored Dreamcoat" A crazy time with a huge cast, lots of fun, and stressfulness.

8) The show closes, and a week later, WEDDING DAY!!! My dream wedding ensues. The wedding party consisted of Sheryl (Maid of Honor) Beck, Liana, Loranna, and Morgan. Ryan (Best Man) Matt Hoarn, Dan, and Cody. Matthew Stewart walked me down the aisle.

9) A two and 1/2 week honey moon, and we then we move into our apartment at NWC. A few days later, classes start.

10) A crazy semester filled with lots of Latin and Theatre, and Love.

11) Christmas break! Sheryl and Cody are home, and I am writing this while we wait for Matt and Emily to get here.

So that's a recap of the 18th year of my life. I don't think it's possible for the 19th to be any busier, but I expect it will be just as incredible...or better.

I love you all. Happy Birthday to Me, and Merry Christmas to you!!

Love,
Lissa Hoarn
