WHERE IS EVERYONE?

So, what the heck is with no one posting on here in forever?? I check it ever day hoping I'll be able to read something interesting about someone's life, but I get nothing. Unfortunately, there is so little in my life that is interesting enough to put on here, but I'm going to try and the ball rolling and hope you all follow suit. So, well, um, I just finished my senior project, which involved building three set pieces for the next mainstage show we're doing--She Stoops to Conquer by Oliver Goldsmith. I did a pub sign, which turned out really well, a big picture frame for a portrait another girl painted and a dressing screen. They all look pretty good so that's nice. Um, a few weeks ago we had a Centennial Ball on campus as part of the campus' 100 year anniversary celebration. I went with a bunch of friends and had a blast. Here are a few pictures for you to enjoy:

my friend kyle and i danced all night to a great swing band they had

me and some buds lookin' schmancy: mary, me, stone, tali and kyle

So anyway, it was a lot of fun. There was an open bar and lots of food and a really good live band and I didn't have to sneak in with a fake ticket like I thought I was going to.

In addition, since I need to put off writing a paper for a little longer, I went to New York a couple weeks ago for a class, which was amazing. We were there for nine days and saw 14 shows and it was incredible. I met some famous people, like David Hyde Pierce (you know, like from Frasier). My friend Lucia and I saw him in the show Curtains, which was really good and met him afterward and got his autograph. Proof:

WEEEEE

Well, I don't know what else to say so that's it for now. But hopefully everyone will get their acts together and start posting more often. Even if it's not that interesting, I need something to look at while I'm cruising the internet. K, great. LOVE TO ALL!

AND another...

Happy Easter!

Karen, Casey, and I are going to miss you all from up north this Easter. Karen is here with us today and we are going to go to church and then to have brunch at the Silver Diner. We hope you all have a great Easter and that the egg hunt isn't too difficult in the snow!

Love you and miss you all... LOTS!

More on St Patty's day...

I forgot to point out that when watching the video, Erin is the one under the light in the back during most of the video..

HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY!

yeah i'm a little late, but still....

anyways. I figured I'd come and share our St. Patty's adventure. To start off, I should let you know that Erin is an Irish dancer. She was doing alot of shows yesterday, and Mom and I were going to see her at 5:30 in mystic, but it was at a retirement home, and we couldn't go. So, I talked to Erin and found out about the last show, which was at 7 in New London at a bar called Hanafin's Pub. Anyways, we got there just too late, and they had started dancing. We had to stay outside for about 10 minutes until there was a big enough break in the dances to let people out and in. Mom and I got in, and were able to watch the last few dances, and we got some video on our phones (mom sent one to the comp.) Anyways that's the story and here's the Video. I apologize for the quality, but you can't expect alot from a phone, especially when filming and a loud, packed bar. But aside from the loud, drunk people, and being stuck outside for the first couple of dances, we had fun.

Photos of tuesday and the rescue

as you all have seen before, this is the 5 inch shooting. this from NSFS on tuesday.
this is the island we were shooting at. the cloud of smoke is the explosion from the rounds we were shooting.
this is from the rescue i was talking about. this is our RHIB( Rigged Hull Inflatable Boat) along side the korean life raft.
just a picture of the ship on fire

today we shot NGFS( Naval Gun Fire Support) for qualification. most unfortunetly we didnt pass the qual. we were shooting perfectly until maybe the 28th round when the gun broke really bada

Thanks for the birthday wishes!

I really had a great birthday. We found out our actual closing date (I hope) for the condo, which we've been waiting and waiting for. It's April 22nd, and we are supposed to do our final walk through April 15th, but that will have to be moved because that's the last day of tax season- not so good for Casey. Haha. So we went out yesterday and took measurements of all the rooms so we can buy paint. It's really starting to come together- all the appliances were in the kitchen, the plastic was pulled up off the floors. One of the construction supervisors was there doing a walk through to see what needs to be touched up. So, that's pretty exciting!

Last night we went to a bar called Four Courts because some people from Casey's work were having a pre-St. Patty's day gathering there. It was BUSY! But we had a good time and one of the girls brought me some birthday gear (seen below) so I got wished "happy birthday" a lot by random people who saw my sash and blinking star necklace- I didn't wear the crown the whole night, but others wore it and got their picture takenw ith me, haha. The best part was that one of my friends from college, who I haven't seen in YEARS, came out and so we went to another bar with her and some of her friends and danced and had a great time. It was a great day that lasted into this morning! And thank you again for all your birthday wishes! I miss you and love you all lots!

Happy Birthday, Christie!

I don't have many photos of Christie on my computer, but here are a couple that I like.

I hope you are having a great day, Christie, you deserve it! You have much to look forward to this year, and I hope for many more to come.

Lots of love,

Aunt Cindy
