Dawn's Blog

Well, I'm back in China. I woke up this morning to the first snow I've seen here, which is exciting. However, I also woke up feeling like poop. At least I have time now to write a long-overdue blog post. So despite the fact that 90% of the people reading this blog were actually there when these things happened, I'd like to document the highlights of my time at home, in no particular order. 

• Slumber party with Ashley and Laura in Indy, including a skype date with Ashleigh.
• Playing Princess Memory, Hoppin' Bunnies, Hide-and-seek, Melvin, and Frog Hop with Taylor.
• Eating hamburgers, sloppy joes, pizza, cheesecake, french fries, tacos, and chicken patty sandwiches. 
• Making snowflakes and going to Jamba Juice and Lowes with Danni. 
• Driving through a blizzard in the middle of the night with my Dad.
• Playing Ping Pong and spoons with some amazing people from Bear Lake Camp.
• Celebrating Singles Awareness Day with Ben and Hank by having dinner at the oldest bar in Indiana, followed by a never-ending game of Lord of the Rings Risk. 
• Possibly breaking my record for most Euchre games played in three weeks. 
• Running with my siblings!
• Running with Joel and Laura in Indy. 
• Making pizza and candies with Taylor. 
• Experiencing all the excitement of Indiana weather: Blizzards, sub-zero temperatures, a winter heat-wave, freezing rain, and even a little hail. 
• Making awesome cut-out cookies with Mom and Kevin.
• Painting my Grandma & Grandpa's bathroom. 
• Hanging out with my cousins, grandparents, and aunts and uncles. 
• Imparting my immense knowledge of China to the Wyneken 7th grade class and the Root Merry Makers 4-H club.
• And many many other things, too numerous to mention.
