Valentines Day Foam Pit
I went over to my friend Celia's house after school today. Her and her sister and I were going to go see Gnomeo and Juliet for something to do on Valentines day. However, we ended up going to this place called Xtreme Trampolines instead. It is located in Carol Stream and its one of the funnest places I've been to in a while.
We had a blast!
They have endless amounts of trampolines, a huge trampoline dodge ball court and even trampolines that lead into a huge foam pit. It's such a workout, its unbelievable how tired you get after just a few minutes. You pay $11 for an hour time slot and by the time the hour is up you feel like you've been there for five hours.
We had an awesome time jumping around on all the trampolines, doing flips into the foam pit and even playing dodge ball.
After our hour was up we left the place dragging ourselves to the car because we were so tired. We then went to Steak and Shake and got milkshakes. I had never been there before and I had no idea the milkshakes were so huge. I got mint cookies and creme, some how I managed to finish it. I feel like I wanna blow up now.
This was a great Valentines Day, I'm glad we were able to get out and find something fun to do.

Meeting Tessa
Today I met baby Tessa for the first time. I went over to Kyle and Teri's house around lunch time and we had some chili for lunch, played with Kyri and visited with baby Tessa. I was Tessa's first in home visitor! Yesterday was Teri's first day home from the hospital with Tessa.
Since Teri had a c-section shes not aloud to lift anything heavy or even drive for two whole weeks because of her stitches. Even though Teri's home on leave from work she has to take care of the new baby as well as Kyri who can be pretty rambunctious sometimes.
Tessa didn't open her eyes once while I was there, she just slept the whole entire hour and half but that's what baby's do I guess. Maybe next time...

Project 365 Days
Soon I might be starting a project called project 365 days which is basically me putting a video up of myself or anything happening in my life. One video every single day for 365 days to document my daily life for a whole year or even longer if I choose. I'm not sure when I'll be starting this project but its a fun idea and everyone should join me in this project by watching my daily vlogs on YouTube.
The new YouTube channel I created a while back (AmazingHammTastic) hasn't been used for anything yet but I've wanted to start up something great on that channel so this is my chance. Thus, I'm going to start doing daily vlogs on that channel. For those of you who don't know video lingo a vlog is a video blog. Join me on YouTube by watching my everyday life. These videos can be short videos, long videos, they can be edited.. whatever I choose to do. However, every day will be labeled as to what day it is.
Day 1, Day 24, Day 57 ect.. and they will have a title.
(Day 17 Cats at the mall)
I'm thinking about creating a name for this web series but I'm not sure what yet, any suggestions? As for when this project is going to start I'm not quite sure yet but I'll let you know. I want to start it on a special day, not just any ordinary day. Maybe on some body's birthday, maybe on a holiday. Any thoughts on this project? I'd love some feedback. =D

Baby Tessa!
As of Friday February 4, 2011 baby Tessa Beverly Burritt was born. I just felt like blogging about this because its so exciting. Congrats to Kyle and Teri, I cant wait to meet baby Tessa and take some pictures of her!
For those of you who don't know, Teri was supposed to have her
c-section on Wednesday the 2nd but because of the blizzard that suddenly hit our area it got bumped to Friday. Now you guys will have a story to tell your daughter when shes older I guess.
This blog wouldn't be complete without a picture of baby Tessa and her new family. However, seeing as though I don't have one I just blog stole this wonderful picture.
That's not a crime, right? Its a good picture! =D

CRAZZZYY BLIZZRD!
The past few days have been pretty intense but I've had alot of fun. On Tuesday they closed work early at 2:30 pm so we all went home. I didn't think it was that bad out until I actually got onto the roads, I was slipping and sliding every where. I guess it was a good thing they let us out when they did. I was safe at home before the crazy blizzard actually started. My mom and I went out in the blizzard and walked around that night while my dad was out plowing. It was fun but the snow was blowing so hard side ways you could barley open your eyes.
The next day was a massive snow day, nobody went to work. McDonolds wasn't open, not even Walmart. All I can say to that is...WOAH!
Since the roads still weren't good enough to drive on I got all my gear on and instead trudged through the snow over to my friends house on foot. Her and her sisters and I hung out all day long playing in the snow, drinking hot chocolate and watching movies. It was a great snow day, I'm so glad I didn't have to go to school.
Today is Thursday and unfortunately my great snow day had to end sometime. I braved the roads this morning to make it to work by 10am. When I got to work I found out the heat was broken so we all froze all day with no heat. The heat guy was there all day shoveling the roof off and trying to fix the heat but he wasn't going fast enough.
I left at 5:15 pm and the heat still hadn't been fixed. It was busyer than expected though because all the schools were off for a second day so surprisingly everyone came to see a movie. I'm sure they all froze though because there was no heat in the theaters.
On a good note my dad made tons of money plowing. He couldn't keep up with the phone calls he was getting. He'd plow a house and get back into his car and he'd have three more missed calls for more people wanting him to plow there driveway. On top of his regular accounts he had all these other customers calling him. Unfortunately my boyfriend John picked this week to go to Arizona. He's down there visiting his mom so my dad had no help. There both sorry because John could of been making a ton of money and my dad could of gotten alot more done.
Anyhow, that's all for my snow adventure story. Hope everyone had a great snow day!
