Monica's Birthday

We celebrated Monica's Birthday out at her grandparent's cottage on Saturday. Here's a view of the little lake from the yard:



Monica and her cupcake cake:



Some baby eating a cupcake:



Monica and I. Why does my mouth look huge in this picture?


Volleyball, sort of:


Volleyball, after it got dark and people were a little intoxicated and wearing things they definitely should not have been (Paul, Mark, Elaine) :



The mosquitos were out of control:



But I took off my protective covering for long enough to take a normal picture too:


Later, at Paul's house, as the night got progressively stranger and stranger:


People actually looking at the camera and fake smiling for this shot:

Stuff

Welcome home dinner for Allison and I, and going-away dinner for Kara at The Quarter Bistro.
Kara, Davey, Kristy, Allison, Sean, me:

And the parents:

I'm related to them :-/

All the siblings:


Kara and I went to Chicago for a weekend.

Look how convenient this "Convenience Center" in a restaurant bathroom is! You can get everything you'd ever need while in a bathroom- tampons, Sour Drops Liquid Candy, and glow sticks!



Kara in her oh-so fashionable sunglasses:



Hanging out with my old roomies, Anne and Amanda:


Back in Michigan, out for Kathleen's 21st Birthday. Me and Caitlin. And $3 mugs of goood beer:



And before:
Shots:

Those mugs were just asking to be slammed together, Oktoberfest-style.
P.S. doing that results in a lot of spilled beer.



View out my window of a storm passing over:



Monica and I went kayaking. This is a scary statue on one of the canals:


This is one of hte little lakes we went kayaking through:


Joshwa, me, and Allison:


The other Alison (one L Alison) and Ju are in Michigan right now, so of course I went to go visit.
Ju, I apologize in advance for having pictures of your pinto on my website, I hope you forgive me when you're older.

Back Home

Soo, I am back in Michigan. It's alright. The same as it was when I left, with a few changes.

One change, Mom's grey hair. I made the cake on her birthday, but all the ice cream inside melted so it looks ugly:

Me and Kelsey the devil with her really ugly and tacky Louis Vuitton collar:



awww, kelsey and one of her babies:



one of the best after-bar foods, ever. NYPD's ziti pizza:


My first night out, too many soco and limes, even the boys were kissing:



new car, as in i had never seen one of these until i came back:



I had dreams about this for the past seven months. Pancheros. Best. Burrito. Ever.:



Kelsey watching movies with me. Really, she watches TV:



Kara took this picture of herself and left it on my camera, so I don't feel bad posting it:



Isn't this sickening? Kara was trying to decide which jeans to pack, this is a selection of some of them:


Me and Monica at the Diamondback Saloon. Good people watching:

spazZ

spazZ was my pet rabbit in college. he was supposed to be jill's rabbit too, but she disowned him. i recently found a bunch of pictures from the "flying spazZ" photo shoot, taken with jill's mini poloroid camera. yeah, i'm not in brasil anymore....



spazZ in his natural state, hanging out on the couch:
