OH, MY GOD! MAUREEN JOHNSON!

[Little Lori]

Okay, first of all, Maureen Johnson, if you happen to read this, thank you so much for coming! It was such a big deal to so many of us. We’ve been looking forward to it for weeks- Nay, months.

To update anyone else, I just got home from school. I don’t know what time zone you’re in, but here, it’s after 6 o’clock. Why am I home so late? Because Maureen Johnson, graduate of my school, came to visit.

It was the most exciting thing in the world. I can’t stay still. Honestly, this may have truly trumped seeing Josh Groban in concert. I spent 8th period bouncing. My history teacher must think that I’m nuts. I spent the final test of the year looking at the clock and grinning like an idiot.

I wish that we’d thought to take pictures of all of the gifts before we gave them to her. They were really quite impressive. Everything was themed. Devlish cupcakes. 13 little blue envelopes. (I mean that literally, not as a title. We really did come up with 13 envelopes. Andrea even drew the pictures described in the book.) Postage boxes. Queen Ranavalona of Nerdfighteria, the puppy sized elephant. Demerits for forgetting to be awesome.

It was epic.

Most definitely worth the near death experience I had with my mother afterwards for being so late!!

I don't really know if I was bouncing from the immense amount of FunDip I ate or because I was so excited, but I don't think it really matters because it was so awesome!!!

that was the best thing i've ever done after school!

8th period was unbearable. I was going crazy. And so what happens 8th? We watch a documentary about crazy people who hate gays. Helps.....

Thank YOU! IT WAS AMAZING!

[Little Lori]

Yeah. Lunch periods and weekends spent well!

!!!!!! It was pretty awesome. Again, I'm glad the two of us are insane enough to make that gift happen. :]
