please don't stop the music...

i love music &
i love 2 dance.

mind u...
i don't love to sing to be heard &
i don't love to have people dance up on me.

But better believe...
i played music for my sisters' belly's in order 2 breed a beat :)


right now... my favorite's list is largely dominated by Keri Hilson.
(yes yes... she did/does dis my girl beyonce in her recent remix, but i gotta say... the girl knew how to do it. makes me even giggle a bit at the expense of my favorite girl B)

none the less... the girl is on repeat in my head whether the ear buds r in or not.
here are the 2 i just can't seem 2 get enough of right now-

1. Knock You Down- ft kanye west n ne-yo.
has a tune that i can't help but sing along to! can't get over both added bonus's by the boys either... but one of my favorite part by far is:

'take the girl with the bad, happy & the sad, but will u bring a better future than i had in the past... oh bc i don't wanna make the same mistakes i did, dont' wanna fall back on my face again'

2. Turnin Me On-
can't get enough of the beat and the dances she does. better believe i have watched, and 'perfected' the: shoulder turn move, arm cross w lean n leg pop, and 4 sure goin to be using the alternating arm swing with coordinating leg lift!

I pitty the Fool!

To all of you who might not know... i was born on April Fools day.
(yes... quite fitting as i have been told, MANY TIMES)
That fact then lends itself well to finding fun things 2 do 2 celebrate.

This past wednesday Shae, Lauren & i stepped out for a bit 2 see what Indy had to offer.
This years themed party that we attended: mustaches.
not so sure how that plays into april fools day too well, but that sure didn't stop us from joining in the fun!

we started with dinner & of course DESSERT at applebees

Even Jonathon came out 2 bring a bit of home 2 the evening

mustache = april fools?

lauren was 2 cool 2 wear one... we clearly were not... and this guys ISN't FAKE! haha

O Canada

Last week was my 24th birthday and thanks 2 my great friends i feel like i have been celebrating for nearly 2 weeks (1 b4 n 1 after)

And all of the fun started the weekend before when my friend Alyssa accompanied me to Columbus, Oh to watch friends of mine play against the Crew on Saturday.

My friend Marvell plays 4 Toronto FC and boy did he give us the birthday hook-up! :)
Not only did he give us great front row tickets, but he spoiled us by bringing extra game jersey's for us to wear AND giving us the heads up as to what his fans had to offer... n boy am i thankful that he did! here is a quick game day itinerary run down:

11:30am- take taxi from team hotel to field. (game time 4pm mind you)

11:46am- spy field full of REDS
11:47am- exit the taxi.
11:47:15am- rushed by 5000 TFC fans that came on buses that morning at 4am from Toronto!
(realize we r the only females as far as we can see! ha)
12:00pm- have new Canadian best friends who make it their duty to show us how they do it up north.
1:00pm- Alyssa decides to have the fan's sign Marv's jersey i have on w inspirational thoughts... most only can think to sign their: name, city of origin, or...'you r fast man' ;)
2:00pm- follow the loud music & find a circle of people dancing 2 known by heart fan chants
3:00pm- find some Canadians who know how to BBQqqqqq!
3:30pm- Alyssa's mom Nancy arrives to see the game
4:00pm- GAME TIME... watch the guys pull out a tie while in great company!
needless to say... we had a great time hanging out with great people during the day, and then enjoyed our great friends company that night as we painted Columbus RED!

boy's night out?

When road tripping with your brother & your favorite college basketball team to the conference tournament in order to celebrate your 30th birthday things could definitely have potential to get out of hand... or that's what ryan & robby might have hoped for had fate not dealt them a different hand ;)

I had fully intended to take a picture of them in front of the stadium covered in face paint, or at the nearby sports bar where the overflow of stadium fans met in order to document their MANLY weekend...

but their teams didn't perform as they had hoped and this shot more accurately portrays their short time spent in indy ;)

Even while i was running in and out of the house... i had a great time with them in town & as always, we made sure to get some good food while they were here!

Happy Birthday Shae!

in classic Shae style... we celebrated her birthday on friday the 13th by attending the 'Hair Bangers Ball'

this ball became somewhat of a tradition at ISU once i graduated, so she was quite eager to have me learn first hand just what it entails.

And as many of you know... i don't turn down a chance to DRESS UP!!

the birthday girl rockin it out

we 'katies' w matching make-up i did!

katie, shae, and i just getting 2 the concert
