I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas

Happy Holidays everyone!! I am back in Texas for the break and hopefully I get to see each and every one of you! If not, Happy Christmas (as the Brits say) and expect this to be updated sometime in mid-January with more adventures from Europe. Love you all!! ♥♥♥

Hopefully the ideal Texas winter will happen...snow and bluebonnets!

Girls Just Want to Have FUN!

So with less than a week to go for the semester, I'm truly counting the blessings the Lord has given me. It is unbelievable to think about everything that has happened! Just a warning but I'm just not the same anymore. God is molding me with every moment and I am so grateful!
Below are some pictures since Thanksgiving. I've just been having a blast spending every moment possible with the wonderful people in our house. We are definitely a crazy bunch!!
At the end of the pictures you will see the 2nd greatest thing that happened all semester (Egypt being the first). Miss you and will see you soon everyone!!! ♥♥♥


Me and some of the girls at our Thanksgiving dinner. Don't worry, we had lots of food and lots of yummy pumpkin and apple pie!!! MmmMmmm...



So in science class we talked about the space race, and somehow we got on the subject of aliens and UFOs. So we decided for the next class to wear our alien hats we made out of foil to class and we made one for our teacher. It was hilarious.


That's our professor in the back. We put a big M on the top for his last name.

On Thursday we went and saw Mamma Mia which was amazing! Yay for Abba!! Afterwards they were raising money for charity so we were able to take a picture with three of the leading ladies. They were hilarious!

So here is where the excitement begins. Ewan McGregor (aka Obi-Won Kenobi & Christian from Moulin Rouge) is staring in Othello. Well the play opened the public last night and they sell 10 tickets for the day of. Needless to say we wanted them BADLY! So badly we may have camped out all night...maybe Mom, I'm not saying I did for sure ;-) Anyways, the production was amazing. It was Shakespeare's Othello which on its own is a great play but with a great cast (Othello played by someone in Love Actually, not sure of his name) that includes Ewan it was unbelievable! So we waited for him after the show and he wasn't suppose to come down but all of the workers and even some of the cast had heard how we camped out so he came down and took pictures and signed autographs!! Let's just say I was so overwhelmed and my heart was racing so much I didn't need to wear a coat home in the cold London weather. (For those of you who don't understand my obsession, go to ITunes and search for My Song by Ewan from the Moulin Rouge soundtrack. Listen to him sing and then you will understand.)

This isn't Ewan, obviously. This is the guy who played Rodirigo. The whole cast was so talented!

Here's Ewan!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!

And again with yours truly! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My life is complete. :-D
