Balloons

Overall last weekend went really well and I was very happy to celebrate my boyfriends birthday with him this year. We got to NIU around 5:30ish and after Billy left for his hockey game at 7:30 (the game was at 10:30pm) we were instructed by Billy's brother John to immediately start blowing up balloons. A typical person would think a few balloons would be fine... John had other ideas...

This was Billy's room after three 75 count bags of balloons. Yes, do the math that is 225 colorful balloons that we all blew up with our own lungs. The picture does not do justice because we shoved them all into this closet! 

Maddie, Jessica and I had fun decorating his room with streamers and baking him a delicious birthday cake.

Even though he didn't come home until 2:30am we still had a lot of fun. The three of us (Maddie, Jessica and I) experience the game Dance Central for Xbox. It was a lot of fun and very tiring. We loved it so much we are thinking about getting it for our apartment here at Iowa. 

On Saturday night before his second hockey game my parents and sister met the four of us for dinner at The Yard House. It was very good and the waiter brought Billy a special dessert for his birthday! 

  

After dinner we all went to Billy's hockey game. This was a special game because this was Maddie's first hockey game EVER! Jessica had come to NIU before and had seen his hockey games before, so she was a pro! 

NIU played Loyola University and the ending result didn't go as planned for NIU. Even though NIU lost it was still a very exciting game. Maddie and Jessica got to spend time with my sister who they adore!

I am glad everyone had a good time and hope to return very soon!
