Here are a couple pics... the girl is Bre , my roomate, incase you don't remmeber her. Of course you all know Ben and the other guy is his roomate Tyler. But yeaaaa ....

Last weekend my friend Bryce had a crab feast so we all went and got free crabs :) it was a lot of fun. I wish I could have gone to my moms suprise party but it just didnt work out. I heard it was a lot of fun though.

This weekend a couple of my friends that didnt come back this year are visiting!! I'm sooo excited to see them.

Anyway I just wanted to post to let you all know that I'm still alive...even though I don't have too much of a life because I'm in the library at least 3-4 hours a day for the most part. Classes are so hard this year. When people that say Elementary Education majors don't do work..or only color posters...send them to me and I'll show them haha. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed...especially since I have a part time job this year. I know that it will all be ok though... its just hard getting used to new teachers and how they give tests. I've never had this much reading or pop quizzes in my life i'll tell you that.

But don't get me wrong. I'm loving it here. I know I probally sound like a dork but I enjoy having to do work....I just have to scream every once in a while to show that it will all be over soon. Just one test at a time :) Next week I have 4 exams and a quiz. Please pray :)

Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!!!!
24 years!



Ok so this may not be the best picture haha but it's all I have.

Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
That just because he may not answer doesn't mean he don't care
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers

HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY MOM!!!! :)







I must say she looks pretty good for her age :) haha love you mom!

ernesto is bumming me out!!!!!


As much fun as it is to play in the rain I've had enough...It's pouring 24/7 and my umbrella broke yesterday. :( Luckily I still have this blue poncho thing that my mom made me bring against my will (thanks mom).

I was supposed to bring this dip to alex's apartment, because all the guys are watching the Penn State vs. Georgia Tech football game (yes football has started which means all the guys have gone crazy).

Here's the recipe:

3 cups grilled chicken
2 8oz. cream cheese
8 oz. ranch dressing
12 oz. hot wing sauce
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

mix it all the middle three then add the chicken and cheese and bake for like 40 minutes or something. serve warm with tostitos or celery.

Ive never made it before but it sounds good? But I do not feel like bringing it over in the pouring rain! Too bad... I guess the girls will get a treat instead haha :)


p.s. i still promise to take pictures eventually.

EVERYBODY IS HERE :):):)

Finally all my girlfriends are here! As I'm sure many of you remember that they turned Solly's third floor into a guys floor...well it already smells and they are loud haha but its fine. It's nice to see everyone again and it's like we picked off where we left off! I'm so excited!

Today they were giving away free ice cream at the Union so Becky Nicki Bre and I went there to check it out. I ended up signing up for the Student Activities Board. This way I can have a say in the different concerts that come here and in Homecoming and other stuff. I'm excited!

After that I convinced Bre Nicki and Michelle to jump off this rope swing that Alex showed me the other day when he and his roomate and I went fishing ( well i watched haha ). It was so fun! If anyone comes here when its decently warm out we will definately go on it. You land right in the creek!

Tomorrow is when classes start. I still don't have all my books. I'm nervous because this semester will be harder but I'm also excited to get back into a schedule. Maybe this semester I'll get a 4.0????? ha proballu not but there is always hope. OH I'm working this semester too...sitting outside of the sports rooms and stuff so not too hard.


Anyway I'll get pictures up here eventually. Bye :)

Well...... I'm back at school and I'm all moved in! Bre gets here today so that will be fun. I have decorated a little bit but I wanted to wait to do most of it when she got here. classes start Tuesday.... ahhh. This year is going to be a lot harder but hopefully I won't be overwhelmed. I'm ready and excited though...


I'm still waiting for my results on my last Praxis 1 exam...(for those who don't know, in order to become an elementary education major you have to pass the Praxis 1 which consists of reading, writting, and math.) I passed the first two and am just waiting on writting. Writting was my hardest one too because it dealt a lot with grammer...and well as I'm sure you can tell while reading my posts, I don't have very good grammer.


But anyway sorry that I did not get to say goodbye to a lot of you. I had procrastinated and decided not to pack until it was my last day possible. But hopefully I'll have some pictures soon.

Hope all is well.


P.S. Hannah - I ran into Nikki last night at the freshman luau party (my friend and i went for the free smoothies haha) and she seems to be doing great :)

Linnea brought me an icee at work today!!!! Thanks so much! It was a nice surprise on such a hot day!

Here are some pictures that I thought you might enjoy about my old man. Hannah and Rachel helped me decorate the house for when he came home from John Hopkins. I made sure to include a picture of the special balloon that Rach made (and was VERY proud of) she called it her bumblebee balloon. My family was a little confused by it hahaha but I thought it was cute! Anyway please continue to keep my dad in your prayers. He is getting very tired of everything and not being able to do anything. You know my dad, he can't sit still :)

My little Mary Liz is moving to a new apartment! I was at her current apartment helping her pack for a couple hours on Saturday. I'm excited because shes letting me help her decorate the new one! I haven't gotten to do that in so long :)



Here is a picture from Hannah's SURPRISE wedding shower! It was so fun. Linnea you did a great job as the Emcee of the event! I am praying that all the last second arrangements for the wedding go as planned! Hannah, if you need help with anyone don't hesitate to ask! Only 5 days!!!!! Woo Hooo! I'm so excited for you!

Does anyone still watch Lost????? THe season finale was crazy! I didnt even watch that much this season (im waiting for the dvd to come out) but i still cant wait til the next season to find out what the heck is going on. I had a Lost party where Claire and I made tacos for everyone and we watched the finale.

Thursday was Jon's 19th birthday! we always throw him a surprise party...so its not really a surprise anymore. but they always have some dumb theme. last year was cowboys and this year was superheros... and we have to dress up hahaha just for fun. i was cat woman since i already had a cat costume from halloween. my friends were everything from batman to some xmen characters. tom even dressed his dog as spiderman. the dog ended up wetting his costume though :( poor pup.

Friday was the senior graduation! what a large class it was graduating this year. so exciting! good luck to everyone as they start a new adventure :) haha

Home Sweet Home


I realized that I don't post nearly as much when I'm home as when I'm at school... I need to work on that. Well summer is here! I need to start taking pictures of what I'm doing so I can post them!

Eventually I will be working at the same Peach stand that Lin and Mrs. Shelton worked at last summer. But as for now I am a substitute Teachers Aid...and I love it. I fell in love with the 2nd grade class, which happens to be the age I want to teach! I don't want it to end!

In June I'll be taking a history class. I love history, but not classes at 8 am in ... especially in the summer.

Anyway its nice to be back, even though i miss my friends from college. its weird because when i come back it seems that everything and nothing has changed at the same time. Does that make sense?

Well I want Ritas. so im going to go get some. yea. haha I'll see everyone tomorrow!

Ok I think I remember some people posting things like this before...so if this has already been done I appologize....but I saw this as my friends away message tonight and I couldn't resist because it is all so true!

Feeling Spring Flingish???


The dance was sooooo much fun! My friends all looked gorgeous. I love them. It was very hot though. There were three floors of dancing but most people wanted to be in the same one so it was crammed. But it was still awesome!

What a man. What a man. What a man. What a mighty fine man.





Do not be anxious about anything but in everything, by prayer and suppplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

Becky is 19!!!!!!

My good friend Becky (one of my best friends here at school) turned 19 on Tuesday. All the girls and I took her out to Ritas Italian Ice, because thats where she works at home. We had to explain to the other girls what everything was though because they are used to "Maggies". boooo. hahha After that we all went shopping looking for Spring Fling dresses. It's a dance here tonight. 3 FLOORS OF DANCING AND 3 DIFFERENT DJS. they even have a techno floor set up. and there is an IMAX theature where you can either watch a fighter plane or an underwater scene. I"m soooooooo excited!

Wednesday BEckys sister planned going out for dinner. My friend Nicki and I went along with a lot of her guy friends since they werent invited the first night haha We went to pizza grille and it was sooo nice. they made specialty pizzas. the spicy shrimp one was the best :).

Anyway tonight is spring fling so I'll get lots of pictures for it tonight!

Look how cute my babies are :) To think, just a few months ago Baby refused to be in the same room as Tobey. haha Now shes started liking to sleep in my dresser drawers! Oh I miss them. ( I miss the rest of my family too of course haha )



Well I'm back for the long stretch of school. See everyone in like 3 weeks or so!

A very Fun and Eventful Weekend :)


Friday night, even though the weather called for Thunderstorms and possible hail, I went camping. All of you who know me really well probally find this out of character for me because I am scared of storms! haha I was told I had to face my fears...but I dont know if camping out in it was the best way to do that haha. But so it stormed and rained but we still had an amazing time. Hot dogs. Roasted Marshmellows. You know how it goes. We had to pack up early the next day (without hiking bc it was pouring when we woke up) because some of the people had a game that day.

So when I got back I showered, to get the gross bonfire smell off of me, and watched a movie with some of my girlfriends, Katie Nicki and Heather. At 5 i was picked up to go t YORK COLLEGE with Kendall and MIke to visit Jon!!!!!!! IT was sooooo fun seeing them all again. And we all got along really well with all his friends. One of the girls is living in Ocean City this summer!

When I got back today I went to Walmart with Jamie and my "twister" Becky. Becky and I had to get stuff for this checker thing we are doing. I dont think i ever explained checkers.... basically we were asked to support one of the guys on teh lax team by writting them notes of encouragements.....buying them little snacks and drinks and most importantly.... making posters for them hahaha yeaaaaaa its more work than I thought. I'll take pictures and put them up of what we do. Later today I watched Saving Private Ryan and we shaved my friends head.... It looks good actually but I was real scared to do it.


So yea long exhausting weekend.... sorry i dont have any pics up... ill try to get them up soon. I hope all is well. Hey im coming home thursday! haha

So I just realized........




in exactly one month from today......




i will be turning in my last exam of the year....




BRING IT ON! haha

Uncle Monkey got hitched

Saturday my brother and I went to Baltimore to see my Uncle Bart get married to my Aunt Eva! The wedding was so pretty and so fun. My Uncle is such a great man and I'm so glad that he is happy with Eva. They are cute together. It was also nice to see my family that I normally only see once or twice a year. It was also fun being able to see my dad play with his old band. I was the youngest one at the wedding though haha so that was interesting. But yea it made me think of all the weddings that are coming up shortly! I can't wait! haha

After the wedding I went to a campsite where some of my friends were camping out. We heard some screaming in teh woods though and it was really scary haha. THis weekend I'm probally going camping and hiking! I can't wait. Its sad to think that there are only 4 weekends left at school :( Time is flying.

Spring Break was fun but it's nice to be back!

I came back Saturday instead of Sunday and I hung out with my brother. He TREATED me to dinner at the Italian Oven and later to the movies (we went with some of his friends). Seriously how cute is that? He's an awesome guy! And ladies .... he's available ;-) hahah

Between dinner and the movie I went to his apartment and practiced a song that I'm going to sing for the coffee house this Sunday. I'm kind of nervous because I haven't sang in front of anyone in a long time. We are doing "Leaving on a Jet Plane" The try outs are tomorrow so we will see how we do haha.

Oh and its really hard getting back into the habit if doing homework....

CREEK JUMPING!!!!



My conversation in Bible class

Mike: What are you up to after class?
Me: I dont know...I want to do something exciting!
Mike: Like what?
Me: JUMPING IN THE CREEK!!!
Greg & Heather: Krissy it's going to be freezing you always say youre going to do it but you wont!
Me: That's because no one will do it with me!
Mike: I will!
Me: (thinking crappppp) Um ok lets do it then!

---It was postponed til Thursday---

I was trying to think of a way to back out because I KNEW it was going to be reallllly cold. But when THursday came around Mike walked into class wearing a T shirt and his bathing suit ... so there was NO WAY that I could back done. Plus I had to prove the people wrong that said I would wuss out hahah.

As we walk to the creek holding our towels everyone looks at us like we are crazy. And just my luck the lax team was going to practice at that exact time. When we got to teh creek he went first and his screams made me want to go in even less hahaha but after sitting on the back for a few minutes I try to gracefully put my feet into the water... but I end up tripping and falling face first into the creek. After that I just ran into the middle of the creek and dove under hahahah.

But let me tell you.... I LOVED IT!!!! It sounds so stupid but it was such a rush hahaha I can't wait for the water to get warmer so that we can all go tubing in it again. :)

So yesterday my poor Bible finally gave up and its binding fell apart. Ive had it for 5 years and i am very sad about this haha.


just thought id share that hahaha

So I realized that I never told the story of my Valentines Day! It stretches over a few days so bear with me!

My friends and I decided to have a dinner date night for Valentines Day...we had to celebrate it on Wednesday instead of Tuesday though because the lax guys have devotionals tuesday nights. So anyway back to my story..... the guys decided that the girls had to ask the guys to be their date. That was probally the most nerve racking thing I have ever done haha. Anyway we had to ask in some special way. So Monday night Bre and I dressed in all black and ran behind the guys room (the guys that we were going to ask were roomates luckily). We asked our friend Greg to make sure their window was open. Once we got there we had someone distract them so we could throw in the things we used to ask them. I asked my friend Tyler by attaching a note to a chocolate rose thing and Bre asked his roomate Bruce by taping a note to a football. We threw in "the goods" and ran away ahha. Once we got to teh Union Tyler called me and was like "IF you guys want us to be your date you need to ask us to our face" so it was freezing cold out and we still had to run back there and ask them. THankfully they said yes haha

So Tuesday was Valentines Day.... WHen I checked my mailbox I saw that there was a purple rose with a note attached saying " If I rearranged the alphabet I'd put U and I together" ok i know its corny but it was cute. I soon notcied that there were 11 other girls with a purple rose and a corny pick up line. It turned out to be my good friend Tommy...he bought a dozen roses and gave them to his closest girl friends. I thought it was relaly sweet! But so Lottie had a buffet dinner on Valentines Day and it was catered and everything.... very good :) While we were sitting there though this guy, Denny, walked over to my table and handed me a red carnation and got on his knees and said "will you be my valentine?" All the lax guys looked over and were standing and cheering. it was sooo embarrassing but funny.

FInally on Wednesday we were able to celebrate Valentines Day....we all got dressed up and went to a restaurant and it was a lot of fun. I didnt get pics of us with our dates or anything! Ill take a pic soon so you can see what everyone looks like though.

Anywayyyyyyyyyyyy Happy Belated Valentines Day

Bre's 19th Birthday!!!

Yayyy Bre is 19 :) That day was probally the most stressful day of my life. In case you havent guessed it by now Bre and I spend almost every waking (and sleeping for that matter) moment together...so it's very hard to keep things from her and to do things without her knowing. There were quite a few times where I said I was either at the language lab or computer lab just so I could go out with Robyn or Byrce to get supplies! (I wish I had my own car at school!)

SO I wake up Bre at about 12:15 and make her sit on the couch and tell her that she has visitors already for her birthday. After only being awake for a minute three of our guy friends burst in the door and danced around the room.... it's probally the funniest thing I have ever seen in my life. They are goofballs.

Next we shower and get pretty for the day and I send Bre to the basketball game to meet people while I go out with a friend to buy balloons and so forth. I then met her at the game in enough time to see our friend Zach score his 1000th point! It was sooooo fun! He had to score 15 or so points that game to get it so everytime he scored we would be counting down. I left a little early and made our friend Vinnie distract her (he had a present for her so it worked out well). The only problem was Bre was hungry and wanted food but I had given Vinnie strict orders to not let her eat. Bre was soo confused and was not happy that she wasnt allowed to get dinner.

While she was preoccupied the girls and I got all dressed up to go out to dinner. (they took forever and Bre kept calling me asking me to save her from Vinnie because he was annoying her since she wasnt allowed to eat) I calmed her down by saying Id meet her at the union in a bit. So when we were all ready, all 12 of us girls went to the union and stood on the stairs and I called her to come with us. She was like What are you guys doing??? WHy do you look so good?? WHere are we going?? We took her to the Italian Oven restaurant and it is the cutest place ever. YOu drink your water through pasta noodles. THe food was cheap and amazing!

Then we went back to our dorms and at about 9 we called her into Julianne and Katie's room where we can happy birthday and ate cake. (even though we were still completely full!) After cake Bre was getting bored and was saying "Krissy its only 930... why arent we doing anything... its my birthday we have to do something" I kept saying idk Bre the night is young we will think of something. Finally I wa slike ok Bre Bryce wants us ot go watch a movie in his room lets go. So we walked all the way to naugle in the snow...and got to his room. WHile we were there he looked at his friend and was like "hey wait isnt the recruit here tonight? ok lets go get him really fast" SO we go down to the basement and all teh lights are off and a strobe light is going on and everyone yells SURPRISE!!!!!!!! she was completely shocked!

THen we turned the music up and danced the night away! It was so much fun. THere were so many people there too!

WIth all teh excitement of BRe's birthday I didnt get to sled... but I think thats waht i plan on doing tonight :)

This past weekend = craziness! I saw the movie "when a stranger calls" and although parts were cheesy i really liked it! but im a sucker for scary movies. Saturday night I went to a Copeland concert and it was seriously amazing! Has anyone heard of them? They rock! I was right in the front thanks to my friends pulling me up there haha. I even shook hands with the lead singer :) After the concert we had a dance party! haha yea for some reason they have had a lot of those here lately.... it reminds me of when I was in 8th grade! But i love dancing so its great. The theme was like preppy (or guys were golfers and girls were tennis players....?)or something? idk they always have dumb themes. so we all had like collared shirts and stuff. My friend is supposed to send me the pics from it so I'll post them soon. Sunday of course was the SuperBowl so I went to a superbowl party and that was fun too.


Although that weekend was fun i can NOT WAIT til this weekend. Bre, my roomate and best friend here at school, is turning 19 years old!!!! I'm throwing her a suprise party! But yea so i have lots of work to do to plan it but im excited. just pray that I dont act too obvious and give it away! So after this weekend I will have soooo many pictures haha. It's just a matter of finding time to put them up here.... But I hope everyone is having a great time at home!

So guess who managed to pull of an A in writting intensive philosophy over J-term....


THATS RIGHT I DID!!!!


I am go glad that I am done with that class. It consisted of a 2-3 page paper every night and a 3-5 page every week. But I did it! haha

Well I had a good time over break! It was very relaxing and a nice break from my hard course! I wish I had gotten to see more of you guys but I am thankful for the people I did get to see!

I got my first pedicure ever! Looks good huh? hahah please excuse my dirty flip flops. It was so fun though! I almost kicked the lady in the face though because it tickled so much!

Oh and sorry if you don't like this pic linnea...its not good of anyone but I had to put it up....all three of us "goddesses" hahaha

Hey everyone! I'll be home from Tuesday afternoon until Sunday so if you want to do anything give me a call :)

This weekend was very interesting....Friday night some of the girls and I went to a "White Out" party that some of the lacrosse players were throwing. You are supposed to wear all white, but My friends and I must have left all the white pants we own at home...haha so we wore jeans. Then we went to this apartment on campus and they had black lights on so all our white glowed in the dark. People then had highlighters that they were writting on eachother with. I asked Nicki to draw a star on my arm, but it ended up looking more like a leaf hahaha. But anyway then it was a big dance party and it was so fun! Bre and I decided that we are going to do that in our quad. Aimee is bringing back a strobe light and maybe ill find a black light or something. But i think it would be fun! After the party some of us went to a diner and then to WalMart...which we eventually got kicked out of for no reason...and I'm not just saying that. THe first thing they said when we walked in was "you might as well leave because if you do one thing we will kick you out" and next thing we know we are being followed. I'm sure it did look suspsious having 10 18/19 year olds walking around in white....like a gang or something haha but it was seriously ridiculous bc we did nothihng wrong.

Saturday I got ahead on some school work and then I went to Friendlys that night for dinner! It was fun. The food was actually good and I dont remember the food at the one we had in Salisbury being anything special. The icecream of course was amazing!

Sunday my brother and I went over to my uncles house for dinner and that was a lot of fun! Home cooked meals rock haha My brother and I talked about singing a song together for a coffee house soon. I hope that it works out!

Anyway I'll see you guys soon!


this is like the 100th time ive tried to post this.......i hope it works

I have never felt God's hand guiding my life as much as I have this past month. It's an amazing feeling to think that everything going on right now is what God planned.

Nannie's fruneral was beautiful. My mom was so brave and even spoke during the service! I'm so proud of you mom :)


So I thought this weekend was going to be horrible because literally all of my girlfriends went home due to the 3-day weekend. Bre and I were the only ones left. It was actually a lot of fun though! I'm not used to going to bed early though so my 8 am class is going to stink. only 7 days left! I'm actually starting to like my class, however I am ready for it to be spring semester!


I'll be home on break next wednesday.... isn't that weird?

We called her Nannie.

I'm sure that we have all wished we knew someone better after it was too late. Well, I recently have been feeling this towards my grandmother Nannie. Now of course I knew her, but I mean I wish I really knew her so that I could have better understood her.

You see, if any of you have actually met my grandmother, you could tell that she had a story. In fact she had many and she was always more than willing to tell anyone around her who was willing to listen. She loved people, the weirder, the better haha. Nannie was always interested in the theature...maybe that is where I got it from? She came to all of my Rock-N-Roll Revival Shows, except for one which was due to a terrible snow storm in Baltimore. Nannie always told me how I had to have taken after her to be so comfortable on stage. It's nice to know that I will always have that part of Nannie with me.

This Christmas was like every other Christmas in the Robins' household. We went up to Baltimore to visit my Mom's mom for lunch and then my Mom's dad for dinner. As usual I decorated Nannies christmas tree with her other grandchildren. Nannie made sure to tell us the story behind each ornament as we put it on the tree, like i said, with Nannie there is always a story. Because there are always so many people there, it's hard to get one on one time with her. But this year she asked me to help her with presents because she was not able to do it herself. So into her computer room I went, and it was just us for a long time talking. Now I realize that God must have given me that time with Nannie, to be with her one on one.

The day after Christmas my dad's family came over, as well as Nannie and my Uncle Thomas. The first thing she did was to look at our Christmas tree, like usual. She loved seeing the ones that she would give us on our tree. She got along with my dad's family so well and they all loved her and got a kick out of her. Once again today I was given opportunity to talk to her one on one and hear more about her life. It was always funny to see what she got me for Christmas. My Uncle's liked to call it "Nannie crap" because it would always be something you wouldn't think you would get, or even existed. This year my mom and I got matching stockings with holly leaves all over them haha. I also got a basket weaving kit! Who knows maybe I'll actually try that. Without a doubt though, every year we got a disposable camera and chocolate coins. She passed the tradition of chocolate coins onto my mom too.

Sometimes the expected comes too soon. We all knew that Nannie was really sick but it still doenst seem real. I know that next Christmas it will really hit me. Please pray for my mom and her brothers because they have done so much for her over the years and I know this must be really hard on them. I don't even want to think about what it would be like to lose a parent, a grandmother is bad enough. But as I look back onto her last days, she really did have a great time. Nannie is the type of person that leaves an impression on the heart of everyone she meets. I like to think that she went out with a bang, and thats Nannie for you. I am thankful that I was able to have her for my grandmother.

January 8, 2006 Rest In Peace Anne Mulligan.

First week back at School= SUCCESS!!!!

Although I'm beginning to think that I picked the wrong class to take over January....Writting Intensive Philosophy is not the best class to have for 3 hours a day.... starting at 8 in the morning haha. It's not too bad though, I like it. I am the only freshmen in the class, all the others are juniors or seniors so i feel that everytime i make a comment people are thinking "stupid freshmen!" haha just kidding everyone is nice.

It's also great seeing all my Solly 3rd girls again! They are also girls and I think they might come stay a week with me in the summer! You guys would love them!

I'll write more later... Bye :)
