I was in Hannibal all by myself Tuesday night. It was fun times.
It was weird to be in Washington on Wednesday... but Gab showed up so that made it not so weird.
Last night at bible study Tammy told me she was going to Champaign to surprise Brian and asked if I wanted to come. She gave me two minutes to think about it and then we left to pick up Gab. I think he was a little surprised when his door flew open at 11 pm. :D So we went to Perkin's and then to Merry Anne's because Tammy had never been either place. Then we came home. Hooray for random road trips and awkward conversation!
Tonight I'm going to my cousin's musical. Tomorrow is Jakey's graduation.
Blessings.
(for you TSau and GKR- JLPL *grin*)

Hail to the Orange, hail to the Blue
Hail Alma Matter...
Well. It's over. I had one last week of good times with U of I people and then a crazy weekend of singing and personal showers for Heidi. The personal shower was fun. She owns a lot of rubber duckies. And a lovely pair of lacy pink shorts from... well, lets just say some previous shenanigans. :)
Sunday my family and I went to Champaign for church (it was graduation day). I didn't walk, but we went for Bubble Tea and wandered around campus for a while. Jakey and Shelly had never experienced bubbles before and I don't think that they were very impressed. Of course, they are a lot better the second time you have them. We went to Famous Dave's (because it's in the round barn and Dad wanted to go there) for supper.
I spent Sunday night at 709 with Amanda. It's so empty and lonely. It's crazy how fast two years went. And how much stuff accumulated. :) This morning I met with a potential subleaser from K-State. I was trying to explain to Amanda how she heard about the house... gotta love the random AC connections.
My room is a mess. Better than it was... But still a mess. And there are spiders.... I was screaming about one and trying to kill it and had just smooshed it when Jakey sauntered in. I told him that I had it all under control, and then he said, "two seconds ago the whole world was at sixes and sevens and the house was falling down around our ears!" Gotta love a little Skin of Our Teeth now and again. I laughed.
So a lot of fun and interesting things have happened that I was going to blog about... but I just didn't have time. Like how Abby's car randomly broke down in Champaign on her way to Leo and got to spend the afternoon with me. And how we scrubbed down the kitchen and living room. And the crazy phone call I got on the way home from C-U... o wait... no, wasn't going to blog about that, something about protecting the innocent. ;)
I love summer. Blessings.

All good things
Must come to an end.
My college career is almost over. It's very hard to believe.
I have an easy finals week so I haven't been stressed at all. It's pretty great. So here are some random pictures from the past week for your enjoyment:
At the young group picnic on Tuesday
Getting ready to leave for the amazing dinner Shaker made for us- formal attire was required. We had to make them modest of course... and fun. *grin*
Yes, that is my little brother serving salad in a bow tie on good china. Yes, I know it's hard to believe...
I've played a lot of sand volley ball the last few days, and almost died at steak and shake, and saw three guys on bikes wearing only their whitey-tighties at 2 am, and tried on a purple bridesmaid dress, and survived my first piano recital, and managed some late night shenanigans, and used a squirt gun on drunk people on Green Street.
*sigh* I'm gonna miss it.

Girls and Guys
It was a good weekend, busy but very fun. :)
Friday when I got home from school I headed over to Peoria to check us W-ton girls into the hotel we spent the night at. (I was the only one over 21- the hotel was being a little ridiculous- two of the girls are getting married in a month but they can't get into a hotel room that they payed for) We had a blast! We ate out, went shopping, went to a play, snuck into the pool, sang for the front desk guy and security guard, and stayed up really really late. We did have to institute a ban on communication with the male species... but it was all good. :)
After I got home I mowed for 3.5 hours... I'm a little bit burnt. I took a spin in the canoe on the "lake" with Shelly and Tate. In my swimsuit and mud boots. Mom laughed really hard. No cameras were allowed. :) Matt and I went to testimonies in Eureka Saturday night, I haven't been there in ages. Jakey went to prom- with a girl. He looked sooo handsome in his tux- the picture doesn't do him justice. :)
Sunday afternoon Matt's roommates (and their parents) came for supper. He also got a bunch of clay pigeons and 200 rounds of ammo. So they played with guns for a while. He let me get in on the fun and I actually hit two- a little surprising since I've never shot at clays and it's been years since I've even touched a shotgun. We had a full house for supper and interesting conversation. :) They played some games after supper, lost Gherkins, went on a tour, and generally felt like little kids at potluck. Good times.
This morning I had an interview in Peoria, and then had to come back to Champaign for class in the afternoon. Two more weeks. Yikes.

Pokey Stix
Are pretty much amazing. :)
I was hungry after church and some of my roomies needed study breaks so we ordered some. In four years of college this was the first time I had ever ordered pizza- how sad is that!
I'm not quite ready to give up these random fun nights. *sigh* The real world is scary.
Poor Timmi is out in the rain. I hope he doesn't wake up. Hehehehehehe.

Gab and Amanda just destroyed a class project video tape and spread the tape all over the house....
It's quite lovely. :)

Back again
It's been such a long time since I've been in Kansas City. Ok, it was January, but it hardly counts because it was Ned's baptism and it was a crazy weekend. :)
Matt and I met Luke and Heidi in Springfield and had a fairly uneventful ride out. The two lovebirds weren't too nauseating (*grin*) and we listened to a pretty eclectic mix of music. We went to Alan's for a while when we got to KC. So good to see Kansas people.
I stayed at Aunt Karen's... good times. Saturday I was on the painting crew. We helped a couple paint their living room and kitchen and hallway some very interesting colors. The living room was an orangish/ peach and the kitchen was lime green. Not what I would pick but it turned out looking kind of cool.
After we got done working, Scott and I went to Robeks. It was sooo good. We need one of them in Champaign. I wasn't very hungry for supper at the park. :) All of the rest of my cousins were there in the evening with their children. They're all getting so big! It's crazy.
We stayed up pretty late talking and making Ned play his violin for us. He's so good at it, it was beautiful. Ned was in the bathroom with me when I was taking my hair out.... his eyes got really big when he saw how many pins I used. It was really funny.
I was a little tired for church in the morning, but then I sat by Cailer in the afternoon and he kept me awake. :) The ride home was really quiet. I drove for about three hours and half of my passengers were sound asleep. Good times. So now I only have two more weeks left of school. Yikes. I'm not really excited about that.

Tractor Tractor
Its been a busy week so far but I don't really remember why....
Jakey was at the Union for WYSE yesterday. I almost baked cookies but I figured he'd rather see me than eat cookies... :) Mr. Bill was there as well so it was good to talk to him. And hang out with Jake's friends.
Last night a group of us went to Tremont to visit Mary and Greg. I got to drive so that was fun... although figuring out how to get to Mary's was a challenge. I just have problems visualizing "go out of the parking lot and turn left at the stop sign." :)
Hanging out at Mary's was a good time. Saw people I haven't seen in a long time, met some new people. On the way home with Gab, Matt, and Nic we listened to "Slugs & Bugs & Lullabies" which is not exactly good music to drive to at midnightish. So then we listened to a random CD Gab made for me. Funny stuff.
Today is Matt's 21st birthday. I visited his room. He wasn't there. He now has 21 random things to find. (Plus balloons, streamers, etc.) *grin*

768 miles
This weekend started a little early, I went home Thursday night and then went to Iowa City for an interview on Friday. (It was good... I guess... I wasn't nervous, a big plus) I went back to Champaign that night and went over to the Shaker with some of my roommates. Amber and I ended up hanging out with some of the Shaker brethren and some tremont guys at Merry Ann's until pretty late.
So after 4 hours of sleep I got up and left for college weekend. It was pretty funny... we were all standing in our driveway staring at the cars... so we numbered off. I was with Jeremy, Nic, BAM, and Kellen and we played 20 questions Kellen for most of the way. It ended up being a fairly enjoyable ride (I wasn't bored to tears).
College weekend was good. Lots of people there that I haven't seen in a while, great speakers, good food, a banana in Gab's coat pocket (she deserved it). :) The ride home was good too.... although I was pretty tired and fell asleep.
It was relatively warm when we got back so a group of us went to play sand volleyball. It looked warmer than it really was but it was still good times. I like volleyball a lot even though I'm not good at it at all.... and I'm short. And I don't have any "ups". My toes were really numb from the cold sand. It felt good to be outside.
So now I'm being a bum. But I got lots done this weekend in the car on the way to Iowa so its ok. Or something.
Blessings.

You know how
Some people have clothespins on their mailboxes for outgoing mail?
We definitely have a bobby pin.
It cracks me up.

Aleluya a nuestro Dios!
This weekend I was privileged to sing hymns in Spanish that were recorded for the church in Mexico. It was lots of fun, even though I've never taken any Spanish and everybody else there was extremely talented musically... eh, oh well. :)
Definitely a good time hanging out with Meg's family, and Mary, and Lys, and Nic and Markus. And I met new people which is good.
I've had Spanish in my head ever since. I think I was annoying my family.
So Aleluya a nuestro Dios is my new favorite hymn, but its not in any of our books. I finally found it in English, Hallelujah for the Blood, in a really old book called "The Glorious Gospel Hymns" that my mom randomly has.
It's a perfect Easter song.
Aleluya! aleluya! Alabanzas cantad, Aleluya! Exaltad, el Cordero de Dios!

Note to self:
Next year don't sit next to Shelly at communion.
We got the giggles twice. It was bad.
It was raining and windy outside and she asked me, "is that rain?" To which I replied, "no it's a bunch of little men in hobnailed boots running across the roof." It makes me laugh just thinking about it.
Then as we were singing the last song I cracked a high note pretty bad and we started laughing again. *sigh* So much for communion being a solemn, thought provoking event.

What a day!
Today was a crazy day in lab.... we were working with sodium hydride which is highly flammable. Some of it ended up in the solid waste can in the hood with all of the solvent and chemical waste containers. It caught on fire and blew the top off of the can. Thankfully the TA's put it out before the other solvent waste containers went up in flames.
So then I was paranoid and practically wiped down my entire hood with Isopropal alcohol just in case. :) My reaction went well, it turned lots of pretty colors! It started out green and then turned dark purple and then lavender (I thought of Heidi). After I added sodium hydride it turned orange and then it finally went back to a lovely blue-green color. The one color I didn't want to see today was light blue in my solvent trap.
We keep air out of the reaction by performing it under vacuum, which pulls the solvent off of the sample. It's hard on the vacuum pumps to have solvent running through them, so we collect it by freezing it with liquid nitrogen in a trap. Liquid nitrogen is capable of condensing oxygen (light blue) if you let air get into you vacuum lines. Well, the vacuum seal on my trap must not have been working right because when I went to clean up I saw light blue in my trap.
O man, so scary. They had to go get a blast shield. Ahhh. Our poor TA's. So then when I got home I kept hearing sirens; every time I thought that they must be headed to Noyes. One of my TA's is in one of my other classes... tomorrow... eeeshh. That'll be fun.
We had CW singing practice/ singing at our house tonight. It was fun. At one point some of us went over to 711 and duct taped Blake to his chair because he didn't come over. They were waiting with buckets of water when we came back, but I escaped the wetness. :)
Last night Washington people came to visit and go to church at the Union. It was a great time! So good to have visitors- and I was amazed at the W-ton turnout. Most of them don't branch out much, and by much I mean ever. We went to the Shaker afterwards for singing and snack and random fun after our guests left. :)
I'm going home tomorrow to get measured and to sing and for communion. It's going to be a crazy weekend. But I'm excited.

Mexico
Some highlights:
- seeing Brent and Janelle and Carissa
- singing in church in Spanish
- 'sneaking' into
- seeing the kids again
- spending quality time with U of I people
- having my brother along
- the warm weather
- driving from
- the quote book
- teasing Joanna
- being sick
- the beautiful stars
Some not so highlights:
- feeling old ;)
- seeing my chicken salad sandwich twice
- the spiders
- not getting to go to town
- feeling like we were missing a few people... such is life
- getting an entire backhoe loader bucket full of water dumped on me *grin* o wait, that was fun? too bad it wasn't even sunny out!
- all my smelly wet laundry
For the record, my dad always told us not to stand under raised loader buckets or grain trucks when their lifts were all the way up- it's dangerous and they could fall. So I was disobedient and I guess it's my own fault. :) When I heard the bucket start to move I thought the whole thing was coming down so I ran and tripped and the rest is history I guess. It was a beautiful prank, props to the rock crew for that!

I'm back
It was a good trip. Too short though of course. So now I'm back to the real world.
I have a lot of dirty smelly things in my room. I did my nastiest laundry at the Shaker with Matt last night after I got back, but my shoes are still wet and muddy. How they got wet and muddy is a story and a half. :) I'll post video of that eventually. So I finally got my cordless drill and stud finder back (since it wasn't working out so well at the Shaker *grin*)... and the next RJ... and made matt's bed and folded his laundry and watched a movie because their dryer takes forever. O well. Good bonding time or something like that.
After church Meg and Jer and I went to singing at the nursing home. For supper the handful of people who were in town had a very random picnic of fried chicken, leftover church lunch sandwiches, quesadillas, deviled eggs, grapes, leftover Mexico snacks... it was good times. Then we went to Custard cup.
I should be studying for my vocab test tomorrow... but I don't want to.

My Roomies
Are pretty much amazing. :) Some of the coolest girls you will ever meet. There are ten of us, we have two *small* bathrooms, and we still get along!
Meg is our resident chef and dietitian. She keeps herself very busy- most of the time when I see her she's off to work/class/study/random food club. :) The coolest thing about Meg is the way she lets her light shine-you can see Christ in her smile.
Ashley and Jenny are sisters, probably why they look alike. :) I don't see Jenny much at all, which is too bad. Ash is engaged to Chris, who lives next door and is our eleventh room mate. They're lots of fun to be around, especially when they're cooking dinner together at our house. (It's huh-larious)
Kristen just moved in with us in January. When our tenth roommate fell through at the beginning of the school year we didn't know why.... now we do! I love listening to her wonderful piano playing abilities and singing along to the Phantom of the Opera with her. I love it that she's always ready for crazy fun stuff like building snow sisters in the yard at midnight. Or just hanging out into the wee hours of the night. :)
Then there's Amber. Amber is one of those indispensable farm girl types. She can do just about anything, even though she is an AC girl and we all know that they can't throw a ball. ;) She has lots of plants and flowers in our house which is so great. Amber's always up for doing something fun, which sadly enough doesn't usually involve organic chem or falling through the floor with the shower.
Alyssa's engaged.... Ryan's getting an amazing girl! My favorite quote from Lys is, "You like lemon!? Ryan, that is so great! I LOVE lemon!" *Grin* She works so hard and does such a good job as yg secretary... and always with such a sweet smile. I love it how her face lights up when she talks about Jesus.... and Ryan. :)
When I'm in the mood for crazy random fun I go to Sarah. She's great at movie sound effects and talking about everything from current events to how hilarious it would be if the leaky shower suddenly plunged through the basement floor with somebody in it. :D I love it that she likes the names of my classes, ie solid state structural analysis. We almost had a class together but then of course she changed her schedule. :)
Amanda is lots of fun. She always has interesting stories from working at a nursing home... (they quite often end with me saying, "reason number 629 why I am not going to be a nurse."). I love it how she always tells it like it is and doesn't mince any words. I'm so glad I got the chance to live with her this year, it just wouldn't have been quite so much fun.
Gabrielle.... I used to be so innocent. *Grin* Actually, I think that I have surprised her more in the last two years than she has me. Gab is great. She's always up for hashing things out and going for walks at CIRCE and talking on IM from across the hall. And making me open my iTunes so she can listen to Johnny Cash. Gab keeps me accountable... I'm so blessed to have had her as a roomie.
So there you have it... I really can't do justice to these girls- they're the BEST!

I'm leaving for Mexico in a few hours... I'm a little excited!!!

Yesterday was pi day. At our house we celebrated by baking a bunch of pie and having the yg over after church. I love pie. It was really good. And, we have lots of leftovers which makes me very happy.
Spring break starts tomorrow! I'm excited.
