Brad Paisley

I got to go see Brad Paisley last week!  Justin and I had sooo much fun! Here is a clip of Online! Next to Patrick Dempsey ( who will always be #1 in my heart) Chad Wicks is my new favorite celeb crush.  I think he is TOO cute!  Justin says he is a little femy ( the black scarf and unbuttoned black shirt probably didn't help his case with the fellas).  I wish I could go to the concet all over again!

I see London, I see France...

In a few short weeks I will be on plane to London!  This is my first trip to Europe and I am completely nervous/excited!  We will be there for 12 whole days over spring break.  Since this is a school related trip, we have class Monday-Thursday and then a few days before and after to travel and/or sight see.  Today was our orientation ( we finally got to talk about modern day London and not London 1500-1700).  As of right now, a couple of us are planning to take a 2 day trip to Paris and hopefully a short day trip to Stonehedge!  There is so much stuff I want to see when we are there, I really hope we can squeeze it all in.  My favorite helpful hints from my British professor.." 1. Don't yell patriotic statements when drunk at the pub   2. If you are going to get arrested, wait til midnight of the last day before we leave so that the police will let you go since you are leaving the country the next day".  

Cheers (I am just practicing :)

I need some sunshine and summertime asap

I am convinced that Iowa weather has gotten significantly worse since I was a child.  This morning my car informed me that it was yet again in the - digits.  The radio said the wind-chill was -28! I seriously can't take the blistering cold and icy roads/sidewalks.  If I only had a heated garage or a parking spot on campus...life would be a LOT easier!  Driving back from Minneapolis on Sunday was quite the adventure.  The roads were still really icy and we counted so many cars in the ditch, thankfully mine stayed on the road :)  I hope the snow lasts long enough to pull off the Campustown Rail Jam, then I am going to wish for nothing but sunshine and SUMMER!
