Pacer Game

I finally got to a Pacer game! I went down the day after Thanksgiving with Jonathan and his mommy and daddy. We had 6th row seats so we got to go down to the Best Locker Room bar and eat and have a few beers. Plus the players locker room is right next to the bar, so when you sit and look out they run right by you to get to the floor! It is so awesome! But they are so huge up close. I got to see Lebron James up really close (we walked right behind the bench where he was standing!) I had never seen him play in person so that was fun!

Thanksgiving Break

Why am I eating Krystal's hair, can you tell I let Jonathan be the driver this night!
Sorry guys...your faces were too priceless not to post!
Stone is doing some YMCA dancing for some reason prior to his DUI.

I look forward to this weekend every year! The night out on the town where anybody who is anybody is out and about getting sloshed and trying to recover before their Thanksgiving feasts the following day!

Oaken Bucket Game!!

Well this one was suuuuure interesting needless to say. We headed over to Purdue on Friday night... a friend of Jonathan's brother offered us his spare room at Willowbrook. This was going to be a step up from our twin bed with towels as blankets from the weekend previous. We went out to Jakes and met up with Julie and Matt. COUGAR AND BOBBY were back in town also so it was FABULOUS seeing them. They always brighten my day!
We headed out to Willowbrook around 3 and much to our dismay Jordan wasn't answering his door. Agh!!I popped a squat by the stairs because I think I peed the most I have ever peed in my life. Maybe even stocking up all my pee for a full week, it may have been comparable to this fountain of yellow. It was dripping over the stairway there was so much! Eww...but you know me, I am not ashamed to go ANYWHERE.
Ok...so after I peed for what seemed like 2 more hours. We tried our best to find an alternative place to stay, but pretty soon it was 4:30 and we knew we would be getting up in less that 2 hours so we just parked the truck and cuddled up to sleep. We didn't really sleep much, but...hey, what was our choices!
We got up around 6:15 and headed over to bclub. I was so tired, sore and grumpy I didn't even bother with my costume. It was way too complicated and there was no way I could get it all ready inside the truck. We got to the bar scene and the LINES WERE OUTRAGEOUS. People were all over the place and I saw some awesome costumes. We waited in line at Where Else for 50 minutes before we even got in. But it was all worth it cuz we caught up with my dad....aka Flava Flave and all his friends who were also all pimped out. They were getting us beer after beer and at one time we were triple fisting. That made all of our grumpiness go away!!!
We stayed at bclub for about 2 hours then headed up to the game. And yes we made it to the game!! For once I got to see it! My Boilers pulled out a win over the Hoosiers. It wasn't a pretty win....but hey a win is a win right!
My father cracks me up...what a crazy dude! I was trying to get a picture of the outrageous lines...but instead this pic pretty much sums up what bclub is all about, lines lines lines, police and boys in Hooters attire!

Dad handed over the costume for a little while! My Cougar and Bobby back in West Lala!

The newly engaged Julie Troyer!

Stayin warm at the game....GO BOILERS!

I JUMPED OUT OF A FREAKING AIRPLANE

Yes....you heard me....I went SKYDIVING! I surprised Jonathan with a trip flying through the sky for his birthday. AND IT WAS AMAZING!!!! We both are addicted to it and couldn't quit smiling once we finished. I never really got nervous once I got all geared up! It was amazing, and something everyone should try!

Jonathan's dad flew us down to Greensburg (I knew that dating a pilot's son would pay off some day) so our trip to Greensburg got cut from 2 hours to 30 minutes. It was, however, very intimidating to hear people coming over the radio saying...."JUMPERS AWAY JUMPERS AWAY AT 1200 FT.) Yah scary knowing we weren't even close to flying at that altitude so we were going to be going even higher than that and jumping.

We got to Greensburg, in style may I add by being flown in, and we watched our little safety video. I swiped my credit card for damn near $600 bucks and we signed our life away (16 page waiver ). About 20 minutes later they suited us up, assigned our instructors and we hopped on the plane. I was DAMN LUCKY...my instructor was JAY STOKES, who holds the world record for most jumps in a day (640 in 24 hours.......he is damn good) He has gone all over the world skydiving and is a professional, so I felt as safe as I possible could. Plus if this world record holder dies....well then I will get to be all over the news with him right!!! Jonathan on the other hand got assigned to a guy who had a 104 degree temperature and looked very very pale....So needless to say my stomach was in knots knowing that! But Jonathan seemed pretty calm but anxious to fly!!!

We got in the plane and FINALLY they gave us some instruction once we were off the ground. I was soooo happy I really don't remember any of my instructions tho! I wanted to jump first, cuz I knew I would not have been able to handle watching him jump out and fall right before my eyes. So we gave our last kiss goodbye, a few I love yous....and off I went.

Jay and I did a gainer out of the plane.....AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!! And I began my free fall at 120 mph from 1200 feet. It was SOOOOOOOOOO COOOOOOOL!!! My face was flapping I was going so fasst. I was yelling from pure joy!! I didn't want it to end!!! After about 40 seconds the parachute opened and Jay let me play in the air for a bit with the controls and we sailed around for about 5 minutes. My landing was a little shaky....but I was just so damn excited to talk to Jonathan I couldnt wait! We went right back in and bought more jump tickets so we could try and jump again in the next two weeks before the season is over.......WE FOUND A NEW HOBBY!!! AND AN EXHILARATING ONE AT THAT!!!!

Breakfast Club Vs. Minnesota HOMECOMING!

Yet another great Homecoming! I even grew some balls (don't worry they were surgically removed Monday morning) and me, Jonathan and Stone headed over on Friday night....we got there around midnight. Headed over to good old Where Else to meet up with Julie!! And we danced the night away. APPARENTLY, Jonathan put me to bed around 4 at Vishnu's......but I don't recall anything after leaving Where Else....I know I know bad news but HEY haven't blacked out in a while, I needed a good one!

Next morning we woke up ready and pumped to go to Breakfast Club at 8:30. Stone being a breakfast club virgin didn't know what to expect. Stone got me stapled into my Statue of Liberty costume and off we headed. For those of you who know my philosophy on making Breakfast Club outfits, staples always works best. We drank our fair share at "The Club" then headed up to Cary Quad to meet up with Pete and get some more drinks. Unfortnately, Jonathan got a little TOO DRUNK, and didn't make me such a happy camper. But hey....the day must go on. Stone, Vishnu and I still managed to have a superb time, after a few Long Islands, our driver finally showed up....in rare form of course. And we headed on home. ANOTHER GREAT WEEKEND AT PURDUE!I LOVE ALL MY FRIENDS I GOT TO SEE.....a few weekends off and then we will be back in action for the WISCONSIN game! BOILER UP! Headin down to Where Else!
I found Witney....and her baby
Yes....sadly this is my boyfriend in rare form.....somehow I found the ability to forgive him for making an idiot out himself!

Mom's Scooter

My mom all of a sudden got an obession with buying a scooter to ride to work to save money on gas. Finally after many pleas with my dad she finally got one. She was as happy as a kid on Christmas morning. She couldn't stop smiling! She even got matching yellow Oakleys to wear! She is just adorable and it only costs $1.50 for 100 miles (or something like that!). This was the first time me, Andrew and Jonathan had seen her on it. She came honking by our house with a huge grin on her face on the way to my Gmas.

Breakfast Club vs. Ball State

I BROUGHT BACK THE FOOTBALL BRA!!! It was debuted at the last Ball State football game, so I thought it was only appropriate to bring it out once again. After a little bit of adjusting/repairing of some staples and ribbon it was all set. The crew went over....and finally they agreed to getting an early start, just as I had been begging for all season thus far. We got there around 8. I didn't bring along a friend cuz everyone was either at Xfest, or wussing out on me in Colorado. Soooooo I just hung out with the oldies...but as always I had a blast!

Ryan Hungate, Me and Dad

Ryan, Hetzel, Dad, Parker

Me and Melissa and her "fist of goodness"

Retraction

Ok-so apparently me referring to my boyfriend as "hunny buns" in a past post has really gotten a special lady worked up. I was totally being sarcastic, but she must not get the humor in it. So for her sake I am retracting my statement of "hunny buns" and from now on he will be referred to as simply "my sexy bitch." There ya go Miss Grace, hope thats the old gansta style in me you remember.

Breakfast Club vs. Miami of Ohio

Another Breakfast club down for the season. This week I was blessed with the attendance of Jonathan and his momma for the big event! How fun was it! Can you tell what Sally is???? This is classic, she taped leaves to a visor, and when someone asked what she was she would blow on them......get it yet????? A leaf blower! Ha I thought I got pretty creative plannin that one out. Unfortunately my creativity ran out for myself. I thought if I got a few drinks in me Friday night something amazing would come to my brain. Sadly, nothing did so I was up at 6 scroungin around the storage closet looking for an old outfit to wear. I was pretty disappointed with my choice of costume, not original enough for me...but it worked I guess.
We had an amazing time at "the club." I weaseled my way into the student section with Brandon and Clint! YAY old times! Clint broke my sandals soooo I had to wear his tennis shoes around all game? Why do I always lose/break my shoe the past several months I have no idea! The Boilermakers had a hard time against this pathetic team. Doesn't look like we have much of a team this year, probably no bowl game :-( We blocked their kick when they were trying to go ahead of us with a few minitues left, so we went into overtime and somehow pulled out a win. Can't wait for next game!!!

My Classroom!

Here are some pics of my classroom minus the little hooligans!

Kegstand Virgin

I FINALLY did my first kegstand, I don't know what I was so afraid of! I thought it was fun and luckily I wasn't one of the many that these guys dropped that day! Football season brings out the best in me!

Breakfast Club vs ISU

IT'S BAAAAAACKKKKK!!! OH yes what I live and die for every year...FOOTBALL SEASON which equals.....BREAKFAST CLUB! I have been looking forward to this since last season! Our troops were small unfortunatley, guess some people don't have their drinking game worked up to par quite yet. But you know me and my dad wouldn't miss it for ANYTHING. I met up with Elle and Hartman at the bar and we did a little bit of boozing. We didn't get there till 9:45 so we got a very late start, but we still did our fair share. AND I did my first KEGSTAND! How proud I was!

Elle and I went as baby-sitters. Get it...babies tied to our butts....hmmm how clever and oh it was so easy and comfy.

Lake Maxinkuckee

Well, since I have been stuck getting my room ready the past several weeks. I decided it was time for me to have a break. One of the last sunny weekends we have had (when is the rain going to stop anyway?) me, my dad, brother, and Jonathan headed up to Lake Maxinkuckee to do some boating. Rich Schwartz has one bad ass cottage up there on the lake with the prettiest boat I think I have ever seen! It is one of the speed boats that you can fill the back up with water to create a surf wave behind it. Yes! You can actually surf on a surfboard behind it. We stuck to some skiing and jet skiing though. Jonathan did some fancy wakeboard which was fun to watch. (Wish I knew how to do it) I attempted several times to get up on one ski but just can't do it! So frustrating! We cruised over to check out Culver from the jetskis, and Jonathan showed me all the buildings he remembered and where he lived. It looks more like a fun summer camp than a punishment to get sent there to me! Then we decided it would be fun to launch the jet ski's over the wake from the back of the boat. I hit the wake wrong a few times, and boy did I wipe out! It was fun though, but I had some pretty big bruises to show for it! Wish it would get nice so we could go up again before the summer is over!

Mr. and Mrs. Austin McClain

Well Meghan and Austin finally tied the knot earlier this month! It was a beautiful wedding out at Oakbrook and brought so many of us old high school friends back together. The wedding was on the 5th and the guest list was HUGE....I'd know since I kept the books! But everyone who was anyone was at this wedding! The couples were as follows: Me and Jonathan, Krystal and Kent, Jennifer and her fiance Eric, Jennie and Logan, Blair and Laure (minus their new baby Isabella aww) Ryan and Brooke, Zach and Meghan, Brock and Amanda, and Brooke and Jesse. It was soooo awesome to see everyone and get to spend time with them all! Plus I got to see a bunch of other people at the wedding and reception.
