Ah to be a super hero...

You scored as Lara Croft. A thrill-seeking, slightly unscrupulous, tough-as-nails archaeologist, Lara Croft travels the world in search of ancient relics perhaps better left hidden. She packs two Colt .45s and has no fear of jumping off buildings, exploring creepy tombs, or taking on evil meglomaniacs bent on world domination.

breakity break break break

so, today is the last day of my thanksgiving break. it was a good one. i got some things accomplished which made me happy and gave the illusion of productivity. i spent some time with my buddy stacy who is cool. i got to work at a vision screening which was cool. dad and bonnie came through on wednesday with big news. they are getting hitched on 8 april. thursday i got to volunteer at the church for the dinner for seniors and clients of the food pantry. it was cool. there were some really nice people that i got to meet. it was big for the church because the governer came (along with news and security and entourage). so my church (http://www.stjamesonwabash.com/) got some great publicity thanks to the chicago food depository. i had dinner with a few classmates at one of our professor's home. we got to play with her 2 1/2 year old daughter. kids crack me up! friday i (gasp) organized my apartment. i'm almost done. really, i swear. then dad and bonnie came back on saturday and we hung out & went to dinner with some of my school friends. it was pretty fun. i'm waiting for the photographic evidence.

ok...so, i know that may have been kind of boring writing, but i'm tired and hungry, so that's all you get.

Halloween!

OOOOOOo scaaarey fire...

Oh my, what a suit! Dude where did you get that suit?

Adam is only going to tell us one more time - his mommy made it

Ward likes Adams suit but his is slime proof Tyvek

"But Ward, did you not see may fabulous shoes?"
(that his mommy made for him)
"Adam, that's some mighty fine foot wear..."

"... but look at what I can do!"

SO SCAREY!
Ward's Egyptologist Yalie Hairy Caveman
Raven may require some dental work

Raven shares a photo op. I'm Twister the Movie

farm equipement and animals glued to my chest... never mind
Yeah, we get it =)

I don't think we've had enough to drink, do you?

Hmmmm? have we?

Nope, let's get some more

Michelle doesn't think this is enough to do the trick


I have been a wee tardy with post Halloween pictures - sorry!

crazy family (the good kind)

so, i just got an email update from my cousin christie who is volunteering in miami for a christian outreach program. since volunteering full time isn't enough for my little driven one, she has decided work on two huge projects. 1 - she wants to start a music magazine devoted to christian music. i'll be posting a weblink when she gets it going. 2 - she's starting a book about her volunteer experiences. she's only 22! my little cousin is growing up and it's kind of scary. i am so very proud of her! but, i still remember (and have photographic evidence) of her running around with a bucket on her head at age 2. even though we spent many years not being very close, i still feel like a proud mama when i think about what she's accomplished so far and what she's going to do in just a few short years.

done, done, done!

yay! first set of finals is done. i have a RIDUCULOUS amount of energy right now but i know i'm not going to get anything done because i no longer have focus! however...in my yahoo account, i have the best spam i've had in a while. the "you'r being set up on a blind date" one is just tempting me like crazy...haha. it makes me think that blind dates have to be the most horrible things in the world. as much as i think i'd like to find someone, i hope i never have to get set up on an actual blind date.

i'm going out with some classmates tonight. hopefully i don't make too much of an ass of myself. wish me luck...

mid-finals blues...

so, i think i'm getting a C or C+ in anatomy which makes me happy because i didn't get a C-. possible A- in biochem & possible A in optometry. three more exams to go - physio, sensory, and optics. we have a break today, which kind of annoys me. when i spend to much time alone, i start thinking. which can be bad. i tried calling about 10 people on monday but no one was answering. which led me to think that no one really likes me and i have no friends. even though i know that's not the case (at least i hope it's not!), i can't stop myself from being all negative. i can't wait to see you guys next week. i need a friend-fix bad! on a happy note - i might get to perform with my dance troupe on thursday. so excited! i haven't been dancing much so it will be good to get moving.
