HSM 2 dance-along

Ok...so these pictures are from awhile ago, but Stina just put them on facebook so I just got them. They are pictures from when Ashley and I watched High School Musical dance-along and we learned the dances in the movie. HSM 2 dances are a lot harder than in the first movie, and they include more partner moves, so needless to say, we got some good laughs trying to learn them!!





This is NOT a kung-fu move, it really is part of the dance...

Concentrating hard on what they are doing so we can do it too!


Partner dancing...


This was kinda like an alligator mouth move


"What time is it..."


"Ashley, I think we need to go a lot faster!!!"
They taught it so fast that we had to keep rewinding our tape to learn it, but we finally got both of them down! :)

Rice Krispie Treats

While procrastinating homework, me and Ashley decided to make rice krispie treats! She brought her Ipod into the kitchen with speakers and we sang High School Musical while making them. It was a fun and very sticky mess, but they turned out great!!


Licking the sticky goo off the spoon and bowl


Aren't they pretty?! We drizzled chocolate on top of them and then put sprinkles all over.


Showing off our masterpiece :)

Halloween Party

On Friday, some of my friends from His House threw a Halloween party. I came directly from work, so my costume was a Bob Evans server :) I was authentic with smell and all!! It was a lot of fun. We played Disney Trivia, Egyptian Ratscrew, had swords fights, ate candy, and just hung out. There were some great costumes too!!

Sword fight!!!!


Uh-oh...we broke the swords


At least the sword handles make nice earrings!

Here is a video of Ryan and Will being the silly boys that they are...feeding each other cake!

Cider Mill

On Sunday I went to Uncle John's Cider Mill with a group of people from church. It was a lot of fun, even though it rained while we were there.

This is before we got in the car to leave...we had High School Musical 1 and 2 sountracks ready to go!

Dancing and singing to High School Musical

**I have a video, but it is having trouble loading, so it will be up soon**

I thought this was a funny sign to show where the bathroom is

This is how cider is made!

The girls!

Mmmm...cider and doughnuts

In a little apple car with a worm :)

Football Game/Chris' B-day/Engagement Day

Saturday was an eventful day here at CMU. Not only was there a home football game (in which we won 43-27), but it was Chris' 21st birthday AND he proposed to Danielle!! Needless to say, it was a fun day.

Here is the newly engaged couple...my friend Chris and his FIANCE Danielle who is also my co-leader for lifegroup

Me and Matt at the game

Yep...it was a colder game this time...upper 40s I think

Here is a video of our band playing at half time. They did a fun little thing in front of the student section and it was cool to watch them.

AFTER THE GAME...

We went to Applebees to celebrate Chris' birthday...and the engagement too

Here are Chris and Danielle again. They were so cute all night...Chris kept saying "I'm engaged!!"

Here's the ring...it is pretty

Here is a closer view, though kinda hard to see due to the glare/reflection and such.

**are you taking notes missouri matt? :) **

Since it was Chris' 21st birthday, we all got an alcoholic drink. This is Chris deciding on what he wanted

He went with a mudslide

Here are all of our drinks...I got a bahama mama (the same drink i got on my birthday) and we all tried eachothers...it was fun

Me and Danielle....my engaged co-leader!!!

Our whole group at Applebees

Getting sung to by the Applebees people

Mmmm...free dessert!!

It was a great day!!!

Congrats Chris and Danielle! I love you both and can't wait for the wedding!

Mike is coming home soon!

So...my friend Mike (some of you know him) left for basic training in the middle of July in South Carolina and we all miss him a lot. He is now done with basic and in AIT which is like specialized training or something like that. Anyway, I just found out that he is done and coming back to Michigan on November 10th, which is sooner than expected!!! He will be coming to visit at CMU for about a week and will be here for our last home game of the season on November 16th. I am very excited!!!! Just thought I would share the happy news with you! Here is a pic of Mike for those of you who have no clue who I am talking about...

This was taken this summer at our double birthday party/going away party. Mike is obviously the one in the middle :)

Lifegroup Pudding Activity

Yesterday at lifegroup, me and Danielle decided to do a fun activity relating to our topic for the night: accountability...so...we had them all put on garbage bags and be eachothers arms to eat pudding! It was hilarious!!


Here is a before picture of the girls with their garbage bags on to keep them from getting pudding on their clothes


Mmm...pudding!


A little messy....


A lot messy!


Here's a video of some of the action!!!


P.S. Our last fish died...we now have none. I think we will hold off on buying more for awhile.
