Kyle graduated!

I mentioned my cousin, Kyle, graduated from college on Saturday.  He graduated from Missouri S&T.  And the guest speaker was an astronaut who went on the last shuttle mission in July 2011 and graduated from S&T.  I don't remember her name, but maybe Rubina will know and help me out.  


The ceremony was nice (although quite hot in the gym without A/C and 80ish degrees outside), but good!  I was even wearing a dress, I'm happy I wasn't wearing pants, a button up shirt and tie... poor guys =)


It was just so weird to see him graduate!  I used to give him rides to school in high school.  The rides would basically go like this:  I talked... a lot.  He listened.  I think I helped prepare him for relationships.  So you're welcome Rikki, his fiance.  ;)


Here are a few photos from the big day!  (There are a lot of Kyle and Charlie because I couldn't choose)

Cousins!

such a good demo of happy baby pose =) 

My brother graduated from the same university for undergrad so after we had a nice lunch we headed to one of his favorite spots:  A Slice Of Pie.  And we all got a slice of pie.  I got some peanut butter chocolate concoction, which was delicious, and I devoured the whole thing on the ride back to St. Louis.  YUM!

museum field trip

i've been doing really well on my field trip resolution . yesterday i hit up another one:  the chicago history museum .  it turns out it was a free day there, even though i was going to get in free anyway.  that means it was busy! which is fine, i still got to take a gander around.   I've never been to the history museum before so that in itself was exciting. probably my favorite part was when they talked about the world's fair in chicago (i can't remember the exact name).  the buildings were so much grander than i imagined them in my mind while i read, devil in the white city a couple months ago.  it was fun to see what it was really like.  and wow! there was also an awesome exhibit about workers rights and such. so it was a fun little excursion.  

thanksgiving time

( via ) Yes, I like Santa.  But why is everyone so anxious to start with Christmas?  Why can't we appreciate Thanksgiving first? don't get me wrong, i'm excited to watch Love Actually again (when it's in-season.  i actually watch it all year long). everyone kept talking about christmas being everywhere this month, but i really only encountered it when i walked around the mall with Greta (my sister-in-law) on Monday.  it was all over the mall.  it could have been december. look what Nordstrom is doing i'm actually really excited for thanksgiving this year... (details to follow) but as far as today goes... I have to share this with you because I think it's funny ( via ) actually... at 11:11 I was running around looking for a book called The Moon Seems to Change

Birthday

i was yawning? Here I am: 28! Top 5 of 27: LouFest Marathon Florida (how can a vacation not make it?) New Job trip to Savannah to meet Callie ! My parents came to Chicago last weekend to help me celebrate & celebrate we did!  It was a super fun weekend!  And it was 40 degrees! Friday I was on the phone with a member from Kansas City.  He started chatting with me about the weather and I said, "we are currently experiencing a heat wave in Chicago of 34 degrees."  He responded, "it's supposed to be 60 here this weekend, we're going to pull out our bbq grills."  I laughed, but thought, 'why are my parents coming here?!? why am I not going where it's warm?!?' SIXTY DEGREES!  We won't see that til...april?  may? obsessed  i made a baby snowman, no one wanted to help so i went with a tiny one... ;) What I would give for the day off today!  I want a nap ;)
