Happy Birthday Dad & cutest niece ever
Yesterday was my Dad's birthday! Happy birthday! He is such an amazing father, husband, worker, and just person overall. I am so glad that he is my Dad. Here are two pictures of him. One is on Christmas when he opened Brooke & Rob's present which was a shirt that said squirrels are great target practice and on the back were pictures of him holding up the squirrels he has killed in our yard. (They have been trying to get in our attic so now he shoots them.) The second picture is of him in Hawaii on the beach with Breanna.

Mosquitoes
I have been back in Hawaii for a little over a week now and one of the first nights I was here a mosquito decided to give me some company since I was sad that Todd wasn't here with me. However, the mosquito was not a very friendly guest. She (I know she was a female since she sucked my blood) sucked my blood on my hand, my leg in a couple places, my arm and my chin.
The night before my first day of classes, I was asleep and woke up to go to the bathroom around 1:45. I tried to go back to sleep, but my visitor insisted on buzzing by my ear. I kept hitting my head and slapping my pillows trying to kill her. I couldn't find her though and every time I attempted to go to sleep again she buzzed right by my ear. I was not able to sleep the remainder of the night and I was very sleepy with a whole day of classes ahead of me, but I survived.
The next night I woke up at 3:00 to go to the bathroom and as I was going back to sleep the SAME thing happened again!! There was no way I was going to lose two nights of sleep over this unwelcome guest, so I took drastic actions. I was already wearing pants, a long sleeve shirt, socks, and had the fan on to keep her away. The only thing I was worried about was my face. I already had a bite on the bottom of my chin and I have enough zits for my liking and didn't want it to look like I had any more. So I went into the kitchen and got a paper towel. I cut out holes for my mouth, nose, and eyes. (I now realize that I really didn't need eye holes because I was going to be sleeping, but it was 3:00 in the morning and I was super tired.) I got a ribbon and tied it around my head. I had a fantastic rest of the night and had a great next day since I was so rested. It was even better because that morning I spotted the mosquito in the bathtub and murdered it!!
