For everyone who's been dying to know...

After applying, auditioning, and waiting...waiting...waiting...

Joe and I are going to the University of Michigan this fall!!! We absolutely love the school and Ann Arbor and we are so excited to go there (despite the butt cold winters!). We are so thrilled/grateful/hugely blessed to have this opportunity to pursue our Masters Degrees at such an awesome place.

WOO! Go...wait, what's U of M's mascot?

WOLVERINES!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. Holy crap just google imaged "University of Michigan mascot" and this is what popped up:

Wtf? I guess I've never seen a wolverine before...I had more of a "Hugh Jackman" look in mind.

Possibly all of my favorite things at once?

Behold, the pear and gorgonzola pizza from California Pizza Kitchen:

Just LOOK at what's in this baby: Caramelized pears, Gorgonzola, Fontina and Mozzerella cheeses, caramelized sweet onions, and chopped hazelnuts. Topped with field greens tossed in Gorgonzola ranch dressing.

Is it possible to have all of the things I love in my mouth at one time? I once said that if I could have one taste in my mouth forever, it would be Five Guys fries...but I might have to change that.

To Annie freakin' Elmer my taste bud twin, if you haven't tried this, you MUST! It may seem weird at first, but I have a feeling you will fall in love.

An open letter

Dear Obnoxious Lady who sat next to me during Alice in Wonderland,

Thank you for choosing to sit right next to me during the movie I have anticipated watching for over a year. During the previews I immediately caught on to your keen sense of humor when you loudly guffawed while Brendan Fraser got shot in the crotch by a sprinkler, and later got knocked over in an outhouse by a bear. I must say, that was humor at its finest. While the rest of the audience lightly snickered, your hyena laugh reverberated throughout the entire theater.

Thank you for loudly whispering "CUTE!" every time you saw a dress that Alice wore that you liked, a dog, or a small woodland creature appear on screen. Also thanks for being the only person who applauded throughout the entire film - thank you especially for clapping for that non-applause-worthy scene where the Mad Hatter did that really awkward dance at the end.

And finally, thank you for making me wish I had 108 minutes of my life back (or at least had picked a different row).

Sincerely,

Katie
