Full Fall Funday

Saturday was such a fantastic day.  I got to do so many of my favorite things with many of my favorite people.
What else can you ask for?

The day started out beautifully.  I was so excited to get out in it and run.  I would have loved to run a 20 miler!  A couple things held me back.  
#1 my knee  My knee's been bothering me since Halloween.  I decided it's because my shoes are worn out (which they are).  I ordered a new pair and everything will be fine once I'm running in them.  Because I said so.
#2 I guess I didn't have enough time for a 20 miler anyway...

Then I headed off to a photography class.  We worked with natural light and it was AWESOME!  The first 15 minutes I was skeptical, but it quickly grew on me.  Although if I knew we would be posing for each other I may have fixed my hair before the class.  Oh well.
It was interesting how one of the girls who took my photo later showed me one and said, "I really like this one because I think it shows your personality so well."  FYI We met at 10 and it was now 12:30.  Am I that easy to read?

I packed up my camera and hopped on my bike over to the West Loop for Beer Hoptacular with some friends.  There were so many beers there!!!!
I had a little time at Justin & Jason's before I headed to the Congress Theater for the Matt & Kim concert with Rubina!
This concert was SO high energy!
The first syllable out of Matt and I looked at Rubina and said, "Ahhh his voice!"  I love it!
Rubina & I had a very important job to try and scare anyone taller than us away from stepping in front of us.  We did pretty much fail, but we did a halfway decent job.
during Now
Seriously listen to their lyrics:
"Say what you wanna say
Make it mean everything" -Let's Go
"We sing along, though the notes are wrong" -Good for Great
(just a couple of many many examples)
I will let you think about the lyrics and come to your own conclusions.

Then I headed to meet up with Karen and her friend Bridget.  We met up with Jason, Justin, James, and others...

A very full day, but what a fun day!
Friends, running, photography, music... so so many of my favorite things!

Kitchen Safety

We moved!  We're in our new place and we just got wifi.  Wahoo! I definitely broke in the kitchen quickly.  I was making a panini type sandwich for a potluck get together so I preheated the oven.  The next thing I knew the fire alarm was going off.  Let me tell you they did not skimp on a very loud fire alarm.  Ahhhhhhhh I opened the oven, which I know you're not supposed to do.  In the moment, I think I needed to see what I was dealing with.  There were definite flames.  Ahhhhhhhh So I called Mike while trying to google what to do.  He was super calm the entire call while I freaked out (it probably helped that he couldn't see the smoke billowing out of the oven).   He said to throw baking soda on it.  I did.  It seemed to fizzle but came back. I searched the apartment for a fire extinguisher (maybe I should have looked for one before this moment). This is while I kept trying to silence the fire alarm (to no avail) and open windows to let out smoke. Then Mike

Spring!

Yes, I know it is not spring yet.   Today's the meteorological beginning of spring or something, isn't it? I definitely suffered some winter blues last month (yeah, it's March!). Check out these tulip fields for your Friday! Normann Szkop  took awesome photos while flying over Dutch  tulip fields . ( via ) p.s. Two days later I'm still feeling amazing after my juice cleanse .  Yes, it's possible that's not what it's from, but considering nothing else has really changed (except starting a new month, which I am so excited about), it's getting the credit. HAPPY FRIDAY & HAPPY MARCH!
I have a few things to update on today =) Oh I just finished the best meal I've had since I arrived and it was oh sooooo good! I'm so full and happy right now! It was a mexican meal so at least i know i'm going to the right country. yesterday Tere asked me to lead a little yoga class. automatically i said yes because that's how i am, but on the walk from the classroom to outside i started to get nervous. the only person i ever lead in yoga was karen & she laughed the majority of the time (it doesn't really count). i just took deep breaths and i did it. it actually was great. once we started i was able to integrate some favorite posses of the people in the class it was great towards the end when marcelle (who is rather soft spoken, but i love her) lead a few poses as well. i was actually happy with myself. namaste i love our group. everyone is similar that we all have this interest to do missionary work, but we are all very unique and different at the s
