Adventures in OP pt 2

2011-11-08T07:30:00.001-08:00

We made pineapple upside down cake for breakfast, then for lunch we are at D'Bronx, a pretty good (and much cleaner than it sounds) sandwich place. This was my delicious eggplant parmesan sandwich! (It's not a coincidence, when I'm with my mom, much of our fun involves food:)

In the afternoon we went to a (almost) private showing of The Help, which was good, I liked it a lot.

To very shortly sum, I had a lot of fun with my mom when she came to visit!

If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat,and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink, for you will heap burning coals on his head,and the Lord will reward you. Proverbs 25:21-22

Ok...yes, good...wait, what?? Burning coals?

Happy Fall Y'all!

Mommy came up this Monday and Tuesday. We went to get my oil changed, and while that was happening we walked around trying to find something to do. We found: a New York hotdog restaurant.(in this photo, she was taken by surprise, not angry). We didn't get any dogs, but we did get really yummy sweet potato waffle fries!

Sunday the hockey team played an exhibition game with Northwestern Missouris new team. We beat them like 18-0 or something. I'm so glad I got to see them! (Plus from across the court they, in unison and lovely man-voice harmony, said "Hi Michelle!" Ugh, break my heart boys)

Ooh I got a game for this pumkin

On Sunday Chris, Nette, and Cass came up to go to a Chiefs/Vikings game with me and Tyler! It was fun, especially since it was all of our (except Tyler) first NFL game. PLUS the Chiefs won (22-17)?!?! So...that actually happened.

He picked me flowers :)

Soo Birthday Week

2011-02-27T03:08:00.000-08:00

Tuesday's event was Birthday Breakfast. We had breakfast casserole that Amanda and I made that actually turned out (we were a little unsure of what it meant to make a breakfast casserole. Pulled it off though, OJ, coffee, choc chip muffins and bumble pancakes, of course! Along with the roommates, Tyler Ediger, Whit, Geoff, and Joel came. Pretty good turn out for 7 am :) I also found out that evening that I got a 100% on my first Chemistry exam. Thank you birthday week miracles.
Wednesday's event of Ultimate Frisbee didn't work out so hot, because turns out at in February, it gets dark and cold at 6:30. It wasn't a very good day (I was really tired from having a 7:30 am recitation), so I think Kerri gave me my present earlier than she planned. This beautiful bible! I
Thursday it snowed a ton and I took my first physics exam. I don't know my score yet, but I fear I didn't do as well as I did on my first test of the week. But it's over. That night Andre and I perfomed in Dancing with the Kstate Stars! You can watch our video here. You should check out the rest of the videos from the show too, the whole thing was really awesome.
Friday was Classy Dinner on the town. We chose Olive Garden, it doesn't get much classier than over eating the appetizers and drinking endless amounts of peach tea!
Saturday Amanda dyed Deidre's and my hair, kind of on a whim. It's only semi-permanent though. Something different, gotta keep things interesting. We had ice cream cake, went two-steppin, and then I turned 23!

...and then I stayed up til 5:30 a.m. posting things about birthday week all over the internet.(I think it might be because of the sudafed I had to start taking AGAIN because I might be getting sick AGAIN.) To see the rest of the pictures from the week, go see the Facebook album.

Birthday Week--Monday

2011-02-21T20:39:00.001-08:00

Early morning tap rehearsal, classes, blah blah. I ate an Entire foot of Subway sandwich in a dark studio with my dance friends, video in jazz class, DQ with Baman, then my first day pb the job picking up the triplets and helping them do chores (they have soo many animals!). Chem test I feel pretty good about, and then preparations for tomorrows event: breakfast!

A Single-Chic Valentines Day

2011-02-17T17:58:00.001-08:00

The first portion of the day was about 14 Tap-a-Grams. It was a really good year for them, too. Lots of fun, and I got to do most of them with Baman!
That evening Kerri and I shared a dinner of Panda Express, and played (very poorly) dollar pool at the Union. That night we flipped back and forth between The Bachelor and K-State stomping the another out of "#1" KU in basketball. Then Amanda and I got McDonald's (just a Sunday for me) and ended the night with P.S. I Love You.
I don't get why people hate Valentines day just because they're single, I had an AWESOME day!

Superbowl weekend was awesome, I got a new phone (Droid Incredible) which is super tight, and why I can post from bed. Also I got to see my family! And THEN Jordy Nelson and the packers won the superbowl! Doesn't get much better than that.

It did get all blustery here in Manhattan agai thougn. Oof. And this afternoon I spent two hours in the physics help room, trying to get help on my lab. Note: trying. It took hree tutors about 45 minutes to figure it out. Confidence: inspired.

Not gonna be the one to say goodbye

2011-02-01T09:41:00.000-08:00

So far 2011 has been like this:
Kicked it off by Cirque du Soleil: Alegria in Wichita

Then a New Years party at Irene's

I went to Las Vegas for a Parker Chiropractic Convention with Bobbie, Jeff, Tara, and Dan.

And saw Cirque du Soleil: Ka there

The third little kid in this video has made quite the impact on our apartment.

And then school started. I'm taking Cardio Respiratory Physiology, Chem 1, Physics, Dance Composition, Jazz 3, and Holocaust Literature and am in a Jazz piece and Tap piece for SpringDance, as well as performing in Dancing with the Kstate Stars with Andre McDonald during birthday week. It's a busy semester, but a good one. Full of a total of 2 snow days so far (resulting in Bumblebee pancakes)

Game nights, movie nights, lots of two-steppin at Longhorns, and Josh Abbott Band this Thursday!

I know, I know. It certainly has been a while. Well, I am home from England, in my final year of undergrad, have a new and fantastic roommate Amanda, got accepted into grad school at K-State for Kinesiology, probably going to go to Cleveland Chiropractic College in KC, have been able to spend a TON of time with my family, and have these awesome nieces now to love on:

And I sure do it.

London meets USA

2010-06-13T04:47:00.000-07:00

Since I've gotten back from Scotland, I've packed my bags mostly and did a few final England-y things.

Alex and I visit the Hatfield House and the home where Elizabeth I grew up.
Went into London to a few festivals, one at the Udderbelly on South Bank.
This was one of the street performances...that guy was very bendy
Got cheap last minute tickets to the show We Will Rock You co-written by Queen. It did rock me.
Sunday there was a university-organized trip to Brighton, a nice town on the southern coast.

Thursday Geoff got into London, so Alex and I met him at the train station and we took him to do London things all day. Our first stop was Abbey Road, where the Beatles took the picture for their album cover.
Tried to get into a show at Shakespeare's Globe Theater but it was sold out. Walked the Millenium Bridge (in the 6th HP film) and went to St. Paul's Cathedral. There were 3 levels to walk to, coming to a total of about 400 steps we climbed--sore. But it was an awesome cathedral.
The next day we were going to go to Oxford, but transportation presented to be a problem so we went back to London, this time going to Camden Town. Then back to Trafalgar Square to watch the South Africa/Mexico game, which ended in a tie 1-1.
That night we went to the last Forum :( But it was fun! And Geoff got to see the wonder that is our club on campus. Also joining us for the first time was Nicole's sister Sarah and Rachel's friend Debra
Last night (Saturday) we went to the World Cup Festival at the Shepherd's Bush Pavillion to watch the US/England game. And what a game! They had a good team, but thank goodness we had a phenomenal goalie, and it too ended in a 1-1 tie. It's so crazy that that is what I stayed in England this long for...and now it's over!
Now Geoff is off in Cambridge for the day while I'm supposed to be finishing up my packing and cleaning out my room...oor watching How I Met Your Mother. I can't really remember :)

--I come home tomorrow?!?!?!

Creeeaaakkkk...Hellooo

2010-06-07T13:41:00.000-07:00

My last exam went alright, I think, but for the sport I had to make up a speed and agility drill for I got stupid Netball. Not even a sport...But it's over and school is done for the summer! So I'll take it. Grades aren't out yet, I think they should be soon.

So you may have noticed from my tweets that last week Alex and I were in Scotland! Apart from it being an amazing country, we had a great tour guide AND we saw all sorts of Harry Potter things!

For instance:
It wasn't part of the actual tour, but coming into London to catch our coach to Scotland, they were filming at King's Cross and we saw Hermione, Harry, (I think) Ron, and some other characters I won't mention if you haven't read the book. Cool!

We had one day in Edinburgh before the tour started, so we got tea at the Elephant House, where J.K. wrote the first two books.

We saw where Hagrid's house was built in Glen Coe and the bridge the Hogwarts Express train drives over.

And there was a guy on the tour, Ben, who looked like Cedric Diggory (not Robert Pattinson, just specifically him in the 4th movie).

Also saw where parts of Braveheart, Highlander, and Stardust were filmed. Along with doing other awesome Scotland things like of COURSE going to Loch Ness and doing a dance to get Nessie to come out (it didn't work...she was probably sleeping in that morning).

Staying a night in a Castle that is now used as a hostel.

And hiking in the Highlands

Great trip!

And all that Jazz

2010-05-26T11:05:00.001-07:00

Time has really started going fast. Recently I've...
Celebrated Nicole's birthday
Gone to London's West End with Alex to see Chicago, choreographed by Anne Reinking.
Gone back into London the next day to see Stomp
Saw more of London, this was the Southern part. Probably my favorite.
Picnicked a few times with Alex since it's FINALLY been sunny and warm all at the same time!

Gone to Sheffield to see Cirque du Soleil with some of my flatmates

And finally got to see Keagan for myself! She is so cute, it's going to be a bit cute mess once we get her and Cass together, I can't WAIT!!

I think Shannon tries to hide how cute they are together.
She looks like a baby doll!

Tonight is the last Bonk at the Forum, tomorrow is my last exam, and then Alex and I leave for a tour of Scotland!

She's finally here, the other half to the nieces set: Keagan! (I think she looks a lot like Nicole in this pic, but word is that she'll look like her mom sometimes, her dad sometimes, and my Grandpa in Denver)
Tuesday Nicole went in to get induced, and when that didn't work 24 hours later she got a C-section in the midst of this:
Luckily, no tornadoes hit (wouldn't have made a difference, they had been moved to the OTHER SIDE of the hospital--you know, where tornadoes can't reach) and my brother and his wife got themselves a 8 lb 3 oz, 21 1/4" baby girl!
Keagan Marie Lowell Dick--She is adorable
You can view Nicole's post where I stole most of these pictures from :)

And now my brothers and sisters have kids, just like that. Crazy, Adorable, whatever.
