Micah's Xanga (2004-2006)

So last Friday my sister Lydia GRAUDATED from Meadow Creek! I...still can't believe it! I can't believe that she's going to college this fall at the UofMN (where I go) to major in interior design.

So a check and a t-shirt…but wait, there’s more!   After work I headed to the bank to deposit my check, when I realized that I still had some gift cards that Al gave me for Kohls (he took back a few shirts a few days ago, bought sandals with the exchange credit, bought me a couple pairs of shorts, then gave me the rest of the gift cards which was about 25 bucks)! So I stopped by Kohls and bought a pair of athletic shorts an
