yeah, my dad dropped me off at the mall so I could look at a few things and when I entered the store Claire's I started to feel REALLY dizzy but didn't realize that something was wrong until I woke up on a strechter with and EMT woman next to me. I asked,"What happened?"

She goes,"You had a seizure and passed out. We're taking you to the emergency room."

She was really nice and so was the doctor and everyone I delt with. I'm going to have to have a sleeping EPG or something like that where they keep me up all night and then test me while I'm sleeping. I feel fine. I'm just kinda scared because I have NEVER been a patient in the hospital.

Anway here's a bunch of pictures:

The Janesville Woodman's...oooh creepy.

Willard Woodman! The founder of Woodman's!

Pretty sign.

Nice place...

Me about to fall down ice skating.

Pretty place.

Me hugging a tree.

Dad: "Quit taking my picture!"

Freaky.

Dad pumping gas in Portage, WI

That was fun.

Me saying," Yeah fool, that was a fun ride."

A tourist trap.

Sunset Secound night.

Our secound hotel. The bed was SO uncomfortable.

I love the dells.

So pretty.

Those were fun. It's a boat and a car type vehicle. It's hard to exsplain.

Me with my nurse and doctor. They were SO nice.

Me with the bear/bunny. That one's for Adair! Haha.

The inside of our third and nicest hotel.

I loved the bed.

Me in Lake Geneva

I think they painted my future house...... It looks whiter.

Today I fainted. No joke. I went to the hospital here in Wisconsin. More details later for those of you who don't know (everyone but mom.) But I'm okay so don't worry. Edit: Oh yeah, when student leadership meets on Thursday, could someone pray for me? Thanks, people.

Well, so far things have gone well. So far, I have: 1.) Seen a hobo. 2.) Gone to the Janesville Woodman's which was completely bizarre. I didn't like it. I missed my Woodman's. 3.) Called Adair from Woodman's 4.) Gone ice skating (and fell nearly fifteen times) 5.) Watched Deja Vu on pay-per-view in the Hampton Inn. (It was pricey but it was worth it) 6.) Been to Portage, WI 7.) Been to an amusement park where I saw a 12 year old that looked almost exactly like Brent Jenks. haha 8.) Nearly fell asleep on a bench 9.) Bought a shirt 10.) Ironed every single item of clothing I brought with. 11.) And now I'm here on the computer in Wintergreen Resort and Confrence Center Tommorow we are going to go horseback riding and a bunch of other things. Yay. Love you all. Noelle

In a few minutes, I am off to Wisconsin. We're taking it on a different approach this time which is kind of bizarre but cool. We're going to Janesville, WI first where there is a different Woodman's, the very first Woodman's that was made. How cool is that?  Then we are going ice skating and we're staying at Hampton Inn that night. I'm going to try to talk Dad into going to this HUGE scrapbooking store there, but I do not know if I will succeed. He hates scrapbooking.

The next two days we are going to spend at Wisconsin Dells in a cool resort/indoor waterpark, Atlantis Something... I really don't know what we're going to do there but I really hope to get my prom dress in Wisconsin so I can have a Wisconsiny dress.

On the last day we're in Wisconsin we're proboly going to go to the wonderful Lake Geneva and the original Woodman's. I'm so excited! !!!!!!!

I'll have a TON of pictures for you all when I get home. Well, actually, I only have fifty left to take but I'll figure something out.

Love you all!

Noelle

wow, so I got another really good score in creative writing. I was shocked. I wrote about a teenager named Rachel who was having a bad day and thought that Mr. Downes was going to hate it because he doesn't like that kind of story. Well I walk in CW2 and he stops me at the door. I thought he was going to yell at me for bringing a water bottle in. NO, he goes, "Man Noelle, I LOVED your story! That's normally not my kind of thing but I loved it." I was shocked. I wanted to smack him and say," Hey, dude  are you lying to me?" HE wasn't! I got a 48/50 on the stupid story. I go "Uh... I was just writing." And he replies,"Well, I think you've found your niche." I was thinking... NICHE? WHAT A  FUNNY WORD! Hahahahaha. Wow. Big long tiring day. I must sleep.

Winter Weekend 2007

Yeah, yeah I know I said I wasn't gonna post these but I figured I owe it to Tae, Liz, and all the other wonderful people who didn't get to attend this stupendous event. Just make sure you look at my scrapbook with enthusiasim. Friday Adair, Emily, Whitney, Alisa, and I all rode in Mr. Morris's van with Mrs. Engel (I call her Penelope) . We were among the fifteen that did not ski.   I love sunsets.   We had dinner at Wendy's, which was really fun/good.   About and hour and a half later we arrived. Mrs. Engel, Adair, Emily, Whitney, and I were in the same room: Sassafrass! Fun games. Poor Britney was wounded already when she was skiing (sp?). Tamara and Jillian.   Random Candid  Luke by the trees. It reminded me of Christmas. =( The night was too short, it seemed. Our awesome speaker, Tim spoke and then we had small groups. Before I knew it I was in room Sassafrass having camera wars with Adair. Apparently we were very loud and kept people up that were downstairs. (Sorry. I am ashamed.) Saturday It was SO hard to get up in the morning. But we did it! Yes! WHAT NOW FOOL? I loved the camp ground so much! It reminded me of Camp LRCA...only richer. haha. Dining Hall   Map Chapel Prettyness Here's my favorite part: Actually I forget the name of the game but it was really fun to watch. I just sat in a foot of snow taking pictures with Em and Whit. After awhile I couldn't feel my legs so I stood up on the other side where  snowball fights and random tackles broke out.   Whitney Adair and Luke with their "snowman" uh... kinda.    I was so freezing and sat by the fire for 20 minutes before it was time for lunch/free time.   Then we went sledding and a bunch of people played ultimate frisbee in the snow. It was really amuzing to watch. And I didn't get hit in the face! Yea! Than Jillian found an insanely fun sledding hill which was way more fun than the one before. After we got in Luke showed me that his clothing was frozen. Good sign. Talent thingy. Some game. Sunday I love the sky. Ahhh... Foosball Me and Em. haha I have no idea why I took that. But it is hilarious so I'm happy. My amazing small group. Our slogan is, "Robbing banks is an immoral thing to do." Adair and Lindsey Friends. Group Pictures You can't tell, but this is when Lindsay was being dragged outside and fought over. It was pretty amusing. And the picture is pretty hilarious. Whit and Adair. Haha best picture of Brandon ever. Carpetball Friends Now this is hard to exsplain. Well not really. This was fun. We had a chain hug. I was just the picture taker and than someone grabbed me and pulled me in too. Lorin and Tim, my two Laporte friends. I loved everything about this weekend! I cannot wait for the next trip!
