remember when we got stuck on that one road? (i don't think i should mention the name of the road, or people with think things. ha ha). it was after one of our christmas lights looking at trips. and it was all snowy, and i slid into the ditch on the side of the road, and it was dark and cold, and we couldn't get out. so we kept grabbing random things out of my trunk to stick under my back tire. and the thing that finally saved us was a yellow plastic baseball bat. who would've thought? we were trying for so long. then we stuck that under the tire, and you were pushing, and i was driving, and i finally started going somewhere, and i didn't want to stop so i just kept going and you had to jump in while i was driving away. what a great experience. ha ha.

remember how every year we go for a drive and look at christmas lights? it's a fun tradition, i'm glad we do it. and remember how last time we went to maverick, and it made me want popcorn really bad, and so we went to the movie theater to get some, but it was closed. so we called austen and went to his house and ate his popcorn. it was so good.

dear austen, lexi, abby, and cass.

remember when we would always scare people with my big black cloak? and we had my scream mask, and austen put that and the cloak on. then we called lexi to hang out with her, and she was at brady mccarthy's house and it was almost curfew, so we were like, we'll just have to do something some other time. but little did she know, we went over there anyway. and we were praying that her car would be unlocked, and it was. so austen sat in the drivers seat with the cloak and mask on and everything, and i just got in the back and hid so i could experience the whole thing. we were waiting in there for forever, and finally they all came out to go home. they were all walking casually out to their cars, and all of a sudden someone saw austen in lexi's car, but it was dark so they weren't sure if someone was there or not. so lexi pushed the unlock button, and the lights turned on in the car, and right when they did, he turned his head and looked right at them. best idea ever. good job austen. so they all freaked out and started screaming, and cass was yelling "OH SHAT, OH SHAT!" at the top of her lungs. it was the best. then austen jumped out and ran after them, but zach saw his shoes and was like, "it's austen." and then our fun was over. but it was awesome.

remember new years eve 2006 i think? when we were at my house then i went to take you guys home, and we dropped cass off, and then we started getting followed because he thought cass was kylee and i was her new boyfriend or something. and i couldn't drop you off because he'd follow me to your house, so we just kept driving, and he followed us down all these dead end roads and such. it was pretty intense. then we finally lost him in the river bottoms. it was pure skill on my part. that was creepy. i thought i was going to be murdered.
