This Ain't Seattle, this is hickville...

I have been home a little over a month now and my life has been hectic and crazier than ever. As soon as I got home my buds Leif and Katie left for South America for three months. They had a going away party and we partied it up in Belltown. They get back in March, I miss you guys!!!! Here I am with Leif at his going away party.

Then I get a phone call from my best friend since third grade. She says to me "I will pick you up and drop you off if you come see my new baby girl." Danielle by the way lives three hours away and I hate going over the pass in the winter and all by myself, so a deal like that was hard to turn down. Danielle lives in Moses Lake, it is the equivalent of any small hick town in America. Danielle: You hate where I live, I hate where you live. Needless to say I had a good time. Here I am with Danielle who is looking "very sober."

Friday night she drags me out to the local tavern. That's right it is called the Saucy Hog.

It was prime example of hick, but we had fun. It was the first time the two of us drank together. Girls night out in Moses Lake.

Oh and here is Danielle's precious little girl Zoey. A very good weekend in hick town, I mean Moses Lake.

In other news we had some excitement when I got home. I was just about to go to bed at 11pm at night when I hear a loud bang I got up thinking oh my god someone broke in. I don't see anyone or hear anything else and figure it is nothing. Five minutes later I hear a bang and I see lights out of my window. I look outside and there is a car in our front yard. Right away I run downstairs and call the police. My dad and I rush outside to make sure the people in the car are alright. We get to the car and their is a pregnant woman holding a baby in her lap. She seems disoriented and I take her baby from her so she can relax and make sure everything is all right. She gets out of the car and starts saying random stuff that doesn't make sense. She then comes over to me, I by the way am still holding her baby and I am thinking she is coming over because she wants her baby, no she comes over and smacks him upside the head. Of course he starts to cry now and I can't calm him down I mean I would cry to if I got smacked upside the head. She then goes over to my dad and starts hitting him for no reason. It was the weirdest thing ever. We found out a couple of days later that she had bipolar and went off her medication. The initial report they gave her was a DUI because a witness saw her swerving all over the road. She is lucky to be alive it could have been way worse.
