Let me ask you....


What's your favorite food???


Mine is Chicken Fajitas! Chicken strips, green peppers, and onions over top of Spanish rice wrapped up in a big flour tortilla!! MMMhmmmm.

So today I went to get my passport photo....I'm really doing it. I'm going to fly for the first time in my life this coming January. Yes, I'm scared out of my mind. But I know my Jesus is watching over me and my life is in His hands. I'm flying with Continental Airlines on a direct flight from Newark NJ to Costa Rica..... Soooo if you all will please pray for me to be calm and trust God I would really appreciate it. The prof for the trip has been soooo nice though telling me he will talk to me about any anxieties I have. How much of a baby am I huh? I'll be 20 during the time of the trip haha. Anyway are there any fun flying stories anyone wants to share??? SHARE AWAY!!!!


Tonight a bunch of us girls got together to have a cookout. There were probably around 15 of us in all. we grilled chicken and hot dogs. I made my moms famous pasta salad that everyone loved... who knew Italian dressing and noodles would be so popular??? But it was just a fun night to take a break away from studies and have fun with the girls. WE even roasted marshmallows :) Here are some pictures! I have more but it takes so long to put them on the blog haha.

SOOO my apartment is almost complete. its pretty cute for what we were given.. i'll put pictures up sometime soon when i get a chance.

As for my classes......... hard. I seriously don't know how I'm going to make it. It's not a good sign when a teacher for 2 of my classes says shes used to having students cry in her office bc they are overstressed, and its going to be a tough year. But at the same time shes the coolest teacher i've ever had... .so maybe it won't be that bad? I'm excited and nervous. I think I might tutor in Harrisburg this year. SO that will be a fun experience

In case you all don't know... Alex transfered to Salisbury University....how am I supposed to have my heart in school when he left? Well, after the first initial shock of not having him hear, i realized its not that bad. His friends still always come up to me and visit my apartment which makes me happy. He can't come up for my birthday though bc of SU lax practices. :( But oh well! We will see what happens!

I'll get pictures up eventually. I am just so busy right now. My fall break is Oct 13 or something so hopefully ill see everyone then. I dont know if I can make it there before that.

Happy Birthday Mom!!!!

I looooooove you and missssss you!

I'm sorrrrry its been so long. A lots been going on. I was really sick with EBV (Epstein Barr Virus or something) my boyfriend moved into his apartment in Salisbury and I had to get ready to come back up to school.

Anyway my apartment looks really good :) my friend Heather and I brought basically everything to decorate but oh well at least its cute :) I'll include photos once we get settled in.

But now... I know you have all been waiting for this.....


Top Ten Moments At Camp

10. The first time I heard the little kids call me Miss Krissy
9. When I had to hold 3 girls in my lap in the same chair at the movies because the movie "Monster House" was too scary for them
8. Our field trip to Jolly Rogers when I convinced a girl to go on a water slide with me when usually she'd be too scared to do anything.
7. Having all the kids in the class think that I was the reason they won tug of war and screaming "Thank you miss Krissy you are sooo strong you made us win" when in reality the camp director grabbed hold of the rope.
6. 5 year old Carly Bell dancing in front of the mirror in the bathroom while changing into her bathingsuit singing "I'm soooooo sexy I'm soooo prettty"
5. Watching as my kids walked in the hallway with bubbles and tails (in order to get them to walk quietly without hitting eachother they would fill their mouths with air and put their hands behind their back to make a 'tail) It was very amusing to watch.
4. Having a couple of the boys ask me to be their girlfriend... I didn't have the heart to tell them I was already taken... is that bad?
3. Keagan transforming from a boy that would run around the bathroom naked looking under the stalls and leaving our class (even on fieldtrips) without asking so that I'd have a panic attack...into an adorable funny boy that would breakdance for you on command and sing songs that he "found in his head" and always had a new trick to show.
2. During carnival day I was in charge of the prize box with Erin Morris and even though they already earned a prize from playing a game...we'd make them go tackle a counselor before they could get it. One time we made them go through Mr Matthews legs and then jump on him... it was soooo funny watching the kids creep up behind their unsuspecting victim.
1. When my class (which was the YOUNGEST PARTICIPATING) won the fear factor challenge against all the other grades. I mean they had to eat and do the grossest things ever. We won all but one challenge which made us the winners. Christian (the 5 yr old ladies man) finished his challenge and everyone was so shocked that everyone was screaming.. I picked him up and ran around even though he smelt like a mixture of chocolate, pickles, ketchup, olives, wasabi, salsa....and anything else you could think of. It proved that my class ruled the camp :)


Man this makes me miss them :(

Well there are many things I feel that I can take away from my job as a camp counselor this summer.....

There are the "cool" new bad words to call my friends: such as terd nugget, butt muncher, and my personal favorite- diaper licker.

There are also the numerous new "handgames" ....that ive been told are much cooler than miss mary mac....the most popular one now is called tic tac toe and involves punching the loser... very interesting.

There are also the little kid sicknesses such as pink eye. thats right, I currently have pink eye. I was sent home from camp so that I don't get others infected. I feel like im in elementary school again. Hahaha

But its been a great experience! I'm thankful that I worked here this summer. I met a lot of adorable kids...and ive also come up with a short list of names i probally won't name my future children because it brings back memories of those not so adorable ones...No I'm just kidding but I definately had a few characters in my class. I"ll explain later :)

Coming up soon: Top Ten Moments at Camp

This is not goodbye!!! It's see you soon!

I can't wait to hear of your adventures as a "sexy little married couple" ... I think I should make Ben a sweatshirt to match yours Linnea :) I miss you already but remember I speak for everyone when I say you both are in our thoughts and prayers. I loveeeee you!

I realized that I didn't include any pictures of my family! SO here we are! And some guy that followed me around all night (just kidding) I barely recognized him though.... I'm used to sweatpants and bandannas on this guy hahah (as Linnea has pointed out on facebook pictures) I must say, he didn't look half bad :)

I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!!

Mrs. Peipon convinced me that I needed to start blogging again to keep her posted! So here I am :) This is just a test because I don't know if this will work... i forgot my password and had to go through all this other stuff in order to get into here haha. Hopefully i'll be back soon!

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 :)
