back when...

i like katie's "friday flashbacks," so i thought i would give it a try. i was thinking about all the things i was doing in the past few years during this time of may/summer... 

2008:
celebrating Addie's BDAY :) he made us all dress up for PF CHANGS we looked pretty snazzy :) that was a very fun night we even took fake prom like pics whilst waiting forev's for the table because there were probably 15 of us 
my last ever themed theatre party in college! this was the Disney Party. Mike as Smee from Hook hehehe :) this was at the "Spring '08 Tragic B*tch Awards Party" haha. this was a tradition in the Theatre department that started a year ago or so that every semester there would be this chance to give people "Tragic B*tch Awards" for really stupid, funny, crazy or "tragic" things they did during the semester. we nominated the weeks before on facebook in a private group then during the party you vote and sometime after midnight they count and give them out. :) a very very funny event that i am so glad i didn't graduate before it got started!
the theatre banquet... I love Mrs. Mac. totally my college mentor and the best professor ever "From your VISCERA honey!" She really has huge hair too and some people believe its full of SECRETS! hahaha she taught me everything acting, directing, dialects, film acting, how to flirt... all of it! i hope to be that crazy one day!
Graduating College with a bunch of awesomely talented Theatre and Musical Theatre people! Ahhh time for the "real world" a few people are missing from this pic though like nathan, blythe, henry... cody...and on and on... i bet at least 5 people in this picture make it big one day! seriously. first dibs are on... hmm Scott McCarrey. 
Moving in with Ali, Bryan, and Brenna to work at the Redd School. That was a really fun summer full of tons and tons of laughs! I never earned the "line of the day" which is a contest with Ali and Bryan but i definitely enjoyed working out at LA Fitness and then eating at the Cheesecake Factory a bunch :) 
Working at the Redd School trying to teach 1st-8th graders how to act, sing, and dance eeep not fun I will never forget some of these little kiddos. Its funny how i am soooo thankful I am not doing that this summer, but honestly a tiny tiny part of me will miss it. I will miss the people and the excitement those tiny sonofab...i mean those darling little rascals had about things.. certainly will miss being called Mister Megan. and the smoothie king runs with Jennifer where we wished someone would spike the caribbean way with rum to make it through the rest of the day haha

thankfully Saralynn was interning at FOX News in Houston so we hung out bunches and watched tons of "So You Think You Can Dance" We made a bunch of really funny improv videos and i currently miss her like crazy! i am so sad i didn't get to see her get married :( in april... lame... 
and but OF COURSE this summer i spent reading the Twilight series so in August I stood in line with Redd School counselors and got Breaking Dawn that i read in 3 days... (katie finished it like that first night i think right?) then it was my goal to make Ali then Brandee read it! bwa ha ha ha haaa


2007:
Yay rehearsals in Birmingham ("Bham") for a summer with Student Life Camp on the Aqua Team. haha i had no idea what to expect but i was thrilled and sooo thankful to get to do it
lunch at our first camp :) haha we are all wearing our name tags. eventually most of us quit even though we were supposed to wear it. i wore mine backwards most of the time. i remember this exact lunch because kids kept coming up to us and getting kat and i mixed up and for some reason so did Ireland OUR CAMP DIRECTOR! ha Irish!? they would tell me that i sang so great i should do it professionally... hahaha you got it backwards peeps!
The night before we did our very first "Celebration" performance. I was creating my jeans for "Hairmetal Hannah" this was when i was still spending the last hour of my nights reading that sappy love story Christian book... redeeming love? hehe i very quickly after the first couple nights of camp got wayyy too busy for leisure reading!
spoken word performance of "This Is My Reality" there actually is a video on the student life website of another acting team doing this, its really cool if you are bored check it out http://www.studentlife.com/events/videos.php?&cNav=1450 
during "Celebration" every day we would perform a song that was based on the mail students wrote in about funny random things happening to them at camp. we had a handful of real songs that were popular on the radio that we learned, and we would just write new words from the new letters and such... i wish i had some of these on video because they were pretty hilarious and rockin' too 
South Padre Island, Tx Sand Castle Contest Day yay! my group should have gotten last place because ours totally stank! the one that won was of a giant IPOD :)
this is what the life of AT2AP looks like. LATE LATE LATE night song writing and rehearsal for the next morning's song and lots of pizza... (that explains the 15 lbs. i gained from may-aug '07) eep
and of course the bridge i jumped off of at the end of the summer in pennsylvania :) i posted this one just cause i know my mom loves it! hehe NOT 


2006:
APO officer retreat. the last time i went camping. middle of the night we were attacked by a raccoon! eeep
breakfast time in the woods! what are jen and i doing?
the very first time i had sushi! May 28, 2006 with my great friend Rick! a caterpillar roll and a california roll yummmyyyy! i am forever changed and i love love love sushi now
baaahaha same day in the statue garden of houston with rick! this pic always makes me laugh because its just so awkward and funny
got my nose pierced that same day! and now i miss it bunches :(

God Bless, Rock Out, and A Whole Lotta Love! 

Cheers,
