Chicago!!!!!

Well, here's a really ridiculously small picture of the girl leaders in front of Chicago! We made it safely and more pictures will be coming soon!

Ready to go....

Here I am, sitting in the middle of my floor in the duplexes typing my last blog of this semester. I leave for my summer in Chicago tomorrow morning. This is my last night at the Duplexes. The last night of Norman (for a while atleast). There are people talking about O-week in the other room. I just had dinner with my Project Group from 2 years ago. I am stoked about the summer. Everyone is going separate ways to the ends of the earth, but the cool thing is that we're all connected throughout the summer. So for everyone who is leaving on their amazing trips, I'll be in that suitcase with you with prayers. Love you all. Goodnight!

Sigh

The wedding was great. I just pulled 77 (yes, I counted) bobby pins out of my hair. Goodnight!

The Van Dyck's are coming!!!!!

In the midst of the chaos of finals and moving out, I have one ray of hope: my fam will be in town this week. In celebration of the Hay Wedding, the fun family will be reunited... and it feels so good.

Here's a preview:

The parentals
















Brother Matt will play!
















And Dan and Amy will be married! (random picture, I know)















Then, we party. I can't wait to have fun with everyone after this grueling week is over. Good luck on your finals!!!

I'm in love.

These pictures made my heart smile. It might just be a girl thing.... or a girl who works at a preschool thing.... but these are still cute.
And of course, this was in an email from my dad, who said, "This is what I'm doing to my grandchildren!"














The 102nd Dalmation... and the cutest




















This is the only friendly snake out there, children.




















Yes!











































I love this one... although it kind of looks like those "Those We Don't Speak Of"s from "The Village" but oh well! He won't bite.




















Hahahaha, this kid looks so confused... or like she's fake-smiling.




















Heheheheheeheheheeheheheehee
Oh-Em-Gee he looks like Jerrett! Who's with me?!?!





















AWESOME! Maaaa-su-way-nee-yaaaa... it's the circle of liiiiiiife!




















This kid reminds me of someone I know.. I just can't pinpoint it, and it's driving me nuts!




















sweet




















I could eat this kid...




















OK what is this? The closest thing I could think of was a wildebeast or however you spell it.




















It's a blast being a crocodile!




















Yes! What kid doesn't like hanging upside down?.... in a bat costume and chewing thier wings, nonetheless!




















Awww she wants a hug!




















My favorite is the lion... but that might just be because I have a crush on chubby little boys.

Forwarded emails from Dad

I usually abhor getting any email with "Fwd:" in the front, but my dad's passing-ons I tend to enjoy. Here are two that I got today. Thanks Dad!

Forward Number 1:

HOW SMART IS YOUR RIGHT FOOT???

This is so funny that it will boggle your mind. And you will keep trying it at least 50 more times to see if you can outsmart your foot. But you can't!!!

1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles with it.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction!!!

I told you so... And there is nothing you can do about it.

Make sure you pass this on to your friends... They won't be able to believe it either!!!

And sure enough, I did do it about 50 more times. Good one, Pops!

Forward Number 2:

OK listen up! As every southerner knows it's time to get ready for that all important cooking technique of the south---outdoor Grilling! I have found several stores (not just in the south) where you can get a FREE Bar-B-Q Grill! This is not a joke. You can get a free BBQ grill from any of the following stores:

A&P
Albertsons
Costco
Food Lion
Fry's
Kroger
Big Lots
Brookshire's
Safeway
Target
Wal-Mart
Winn-Dixie

I especially like the higher shelf which can be used for keeping things warm!

Just make sure to get a metal one...the Plastic one's don't do so well when smokin a pig!

Who can't appreciate that?
