New Blog?

Oh wow has it been forever! Our blog posts have been nearly extinct, nonexistent. So much has happened. This school year flew by. I'll try and provide a quick overview of our adventures.

Well, let's see. I'm officially NOT attending NCU anymore. I flunked out and figured what's the use of trying or furthering my education anymore? It's not like my future is dependent on it or anything. Haha Just kidding. I actually GRADUATED !!! Say whaaa?! (a sarcastic thank you to all of those who so easily believed that I flunked out of college). :)

Hmm. So Im all gradumacated and such. I have a wonderful boyfriend who just so happens to be my best friend. Maybe you have heard of him. Preston Carmack. :) He's been mentioned in several past posts. Yeah, NO ONE saw THAT one coming. =P

Keegan will definitely need to post for herself because I would butcher all of her adventures. However, I will say that she is currently in New Hampshire teaching/coaching youth in different sports. It's awesome. She is missed a ton.
It's funny how last year I was the one on the east coast and now we have switched places and she is there now.

I'm. Currently now living in Eugene and am working at a job that relates to my degree and helps me feel like I am making a difference. This brings me to my main purpose in writing this blog post (not that I didn't want to let you guys know about my life just there's more behind this one). I think I'm going to start a new blog. I haven't completely made up my mind yet but with this new job I need a place to vent debrief constructively articulate all the lessons I am learning. My hope for this new blog is to just be completely and blatantly honest. I worry and struggle so much with what people think about me and this new blog is my challenge to myself to be honest and not hold back with how I'm feeling in the stressful and joyful times in life. That's it for now. I'll keep you posted on if this new blog actually gets set in motion. For now, I love and miss you all.

Yeah, these are my best friends.

HEROESCAPE!

Hahahahahahahaha.. This game cracks me up all the time.

Some of the boys loooooooove playing this game. They stay up until 2-3-even 4am playing it sometimes. It's quite ridiculous but also fun to watch how they all interact. =]

 

1 mile = 5280 feet

Check it! Thanks to my homeschooling years I had somewhere stored away how many feet were in a mile. That's a handy fact right there. 

And yes, Preston, I do know that an inch is smaller than a yard.  

Miss you all.

"Ellen, Ellen, El-El...Ellen!"

Thank you Keegan for sharing this video with me. =]

Carly and I's Christmas Project.

What's on your Christmas list?

I'm sure your Christmas list goes a little something like this:

• New Sweater
• Socks for Dad
• Antique Vase 
• Video Game for Brother
• Much Needed Croquet Set
• FUR APPAREL
• Apples to Apples

Whoa.. Hold up.. Did I just say FUR APPAREL? You bet cha. As model Megan so eloquently displays, no Christmas is complete without FUR. 

Bear Fur Hat Thing.... Check

Unknown Animal Fur Vest...Check

Matching Unknown Animal Fur Skirt... Check

Owl/Racoon Boots.... Check

 HUGE, HIDEOUS Fur Purse... (Not Shown) but.. CHECK. 

You are probably dying to know where you can find such high demand attire. You are probably thinking.. Do people even wear such clothing? Who in their right mind would seriously sport the fur? But no.. Don't worry.. It's real. It's SOO real. 

Just visit your nearest mall.. ICING or CLAIRES will set. you. up.

Hahah.. Megan's sexy face. 

Let this holiday season be one that people will remember furever.  

Happy Holidays.

How It's Been in 2010!

I must say it is a lot harder to start blogging once you haven't posted in a bigillion years. First semester has quickly come to an end and many new memories have been formed. It is mind boggling to think that I'll be graduating in the spring. It's adult life for me.. I might have to start acting like a grown up and I must say, that's pretty intimidating. For the time being I'm deciding to focus on the here and now and enjoy the time I have with my friends and college family.

I have thoroughly enjoyed how Keegan, Jason, Ruben, Preston, Daniel, and I's relationship has continued to grow. I love these kids. We started off the semester trying to act out the Shakespeare's play, Much Ado About Nothing. It was a valiant effort. We are better than Shakespeare anyway. =P As shown in our last post we visited the beach... We've continued teaching Sunday school... And done MANY MANY MANY MANY more extremely riveting events that would blow your mind if I described them.. So we will just skip that part.

Pictures speak thousands of words anyway, right?

Halloween- This year we had the opportunity to really demonstrate our pumpkin carving skills. Keegan, being Batman, naturally created her sign. 

Keegan was a loooooovely lady bug for Halloween.

My best friend Ruben and I switched identities for a night. 

He was me and I was him. =]

Many people said I pull off a beard really well.. I don't know whether that is a good or bad thing. =]

We had a SNOW DAY! 

Even though we didn't have that much snow, school was still canceled and joy filled the air.

I know this isn't the best picture to put up here... but... It makes me laugh every time.

We just so happen to have a lot of foreign exchange students on campus who just so happen to smoke a lot... who also just so happen to be extremely fascinated by snowmen. This is the result. 

Keegan and I like to climb on each other's shoulders when hanging out. It's what we do.

Keegan is still basketballing it up. She of course is doing AWESOME!!! All of us are extremely proud of her and envy her incredible skills. 

Preston was so enthusiastic about Keegan's first game that he painted his face. Thanks to those tricky mirrors.. He sported UCN! on his face.. =P NCU... UCN... Close enough. 

Preston was actually able to come back with Megan and I to Whidbey Island for the beginning of the break!

Here is an awesome video from the beach a bigillion years ago... 

Smoking Snowmen and now this? College sure does change us. =P haha Just Kidding

Hopefully I will get better at blogging again... No promises. =]

Thanks for reading. Have a wonderful Christmas break!
