RIP Michael Jackson
Yesterday is a day I will always remember where I was when I heard the news....so unbelievable shocking, kind of like the day last year when I found out Heath Ledger died. So, so sad.

The Candians Are Loose!
My family is here!!!
My mom, grandma, stepdad, and brother and sister drove all the way down from North Dakota last weekend and arrived in Tahlequah Saturday. Ryan and I met them there, after we woke up and sloooowly got ready to make the long drive down. I was feeling a little sick and tired from the birthday festivities the night before, but we got there not too long after they did.
Dex had bought a ton of luau stuff- leis, parrot figurines, hanging Hawaiian posters and tiki torches and we spent awhile decorating the cabin. It looks hilarious! Then my mom made a 3-hour long Walmart trip to buy groceries and stock up the cabin and Ryan and I sat around talking to everyone. We grilled out that night and had a giant pasta salad...then lounged outside under the car port with some beers. I got to open my presents and my mom and grandma got me this awesome beach bag and makeup bag from Target that I have been dying to buy!! It's huge and gold with a blue inside...and it has sequin goldfish on the outside. We were going to try and watch a movie later, but everyone was exhausted so we went to bed.
We woke up the next day and Dex wanted to take his new sports boat out for a test run. So Ryan and Parker went with him and took the wakeboard and the tubes. My mom, grandma, sister and I went back to Walmart for some stuff she had forgotten and cake mix for my birthday cake. I bought a river swimsuit...which isn't really a swimsuit, it's most like a tank top and shorts. We also ate lunch at Chili's and then came back to the cabin and put in "W." I started making dinner because I really wanted everyone to try these jalepeno and cream cheese stuffed hamburgers that I had made before. Then I ended up making my birthday cake too and we ate tons of food!! I sense a pattern here....
All of the girls are getting to the city tomorrow so we can get my aunt and sister from the airport on Saturday and Sunday, then I'm off for the week to bake in the sun at the lake and be completely lazy!!!!

26 Candles
I celebrated my birthday last Friday night....I sent out a big Evite to tell some friends that I was going to eat dinner at Chelino's in Bricktown and then heading to the new piano bar afterwards. A lot more people responded than I expected! Patrick, Mallory, Rebecca, Pete, Ashlie, Amy, Amy's boyfriend, and Chelsea all showed up for dinner. We sat out on the top deck and drank Mexican beer under the sun. It was so nice...and so hot! The sun was setting and we were all sweating like it was mid-summer. I ordered chicken fajitas, yum! Ashlie and Chelsea had to leave to go work the RedHawks baseball game, so the rest of us finished dinner and went over to the piano bar.
I got in free, woohoo! There was nobody in there yet, so we ordered drinks and sat around chatting. We got a great seat front and center! Josh and Jana showed up, and everyone wrote down song requests on sheets of paper they had at the table. I took them all and dropped them into the fish bowls on top of the two pianos up front where I thought they would go.
Before too long, a guy and a girl took the stage and started the party!! After a few songs, they announced that someone was having a birthday. They asked where "Andrea" was....I was like, OH CRAP. Mallory had written something on her song request. The bar was filling up, and they said they would get to me soon. So I was really nervous, fixing my hair and checking my teeth and putting on lip gloss. Soon...they called me to the stage and made me sit on the piano!!! I told him I would break it. He said I wouldn't, and when I was up there started to sing a really dirty song. I will spare you most of the lyrics, but they went something like "Give me your sixty and I'll give you my nine." And something about a hot dog and a stick. Oh yes.
As if that wasn't enough- after the song when I was jumping down from the piano, he asked if I was here with my husband or boyfriend. I pointed Ryan out and the pianist made him come up on stage. He gave him a piano bar sticker and asked if Ryan wanted to slap it on my front or behind! Ryan chose the latter....and then I had to bend over the piano and they played a quick intro and Ryan spanked me with the sticker.
What a night. We had a lot of laughs and a lot to drink...they had giant fish bowls that they filled with drinks named after famous songs. People kept buying me shots, I had a drink in front of me the entire time! Shea and Christy showed up near the end of the night. We had a little drama with some of the group who had too much to drink, but overall it was one of the best birthdays I think I've ever had! And to think I wasn't going to plan anything this year :)
