It's root root root for the home team, If they don't win... Well, it's Baltimore, they often don't

A couple of weeks ago James and I went to a Baltimore Orioles game with some of his friends from school. Amazingly it was one of our cheapest downtown dates yet. James' department paid for his ticket and I was able to get in for the student price. A $6 date? That's right!

Right after work I met James on the harbor and we walked to the field to meet his classmates. One of the many perks of my job is that I get to park in the downtown lot for free, whether I'm working or not.

Camden Yards is a beautiful stadium and although James looks unammused in this picture, we really did have a good time.

There was one person, however, that was non-too pleased with our little excursion. I sent my mom a text while we were watching the game telling her where we were and what we were doing. Approximately two seconds later I get a phone call from a slightly jealous father. He seemed a little distraught. You see while he was stuck in Indiana his daughter and son in law (neither of which care all too much for the watching of baseball games) were currently seated in a stadium he has always wanted to visit. We decided to send him a picture of the stadium to make him feel a bit more included.  I'm not sure that it completely appeased him, but it was the best I could do.

Guatemala Update

It's getting to be crunch time! 

In a little less than two months James and I will be in Guatemala looking for a place to live.

I'm getting excited (and a little nervous). BUT there is no turning back now...

We recently purchased our plane tickets, told my boss my last days of work, and confirmed with our apartment complex that July 24th would be our move out date.

Guatemala is going to be a big change/great experience for our family. I'm starting to get a few things ready but with only 2 months to go we still don't know exactly where we will be living and are still looking for the funding to support the internship. I know that everything will work out but I've always been a big worrier.

However, I am excited to learn spanish. I think that James and I have decided that I will take Spanish classes once we get settled into an apartment. Hopefully I will be able to find a job or place to volunteer. I think that will also really help with the learning of the language.

Cardiovascular Disease Never Tasted So Good

We got James a George Foreman outdoor grill for his birthday. It's a pretty good addition to our porch; in fact, we've used it three times in the last three days.

Our favorite meal so far has been guacamole/bacon cheese burgers. Not at all healthy, but completely delicious!

James = The most easily entertained 28 year old in the entire world

This week for our Saturday night date, James and I bought styrofoam planes from the dollar tree.

James loves playing planes. He's gone outside every since day since we got them to fly them around.

Each of us decorated a plane; we want you to vote on which one you think is the best: the Purple Dart or the Space Shuttle.... Place your votes in the comments

A Wee Walk Near Waynesboro

Before our trip to the Twin Kiss we tried to make a hike up to the Chimney Rocks on the AP. We started out well and took some pictures of the pretty surroundings. 

The green ferns floors of the woods.

A happy and excited Megan standing on some rocks over looking a cliff.

A bridge over the creek that cuts through the trail. 

Anyway, the trail ended up being quite a bit longer than we thought. It started out very pretty and green, then got rocky, and finally turned into an old road - so it wasn't as fun to hike as when we began. Also I got tired and hot and realized I don't really like to hike as much anymore. 

Needless to say we didn't finish the trail. Instead we turned around, visited my grandparents, and ate ice cream.

Epidemiology = Different Names for the Same Thing

After studying Epi for a couple of hours, I decided to watch a few music videos. This one reminded me of epi.

LONG LIVE THE TWINKLES!!!

We are back! It's been a while since we've blogged due to finals weeks, family decisions, and laziness but we're here now and we have a lot to talk about. First on the list, The Twin Kiss. If you're already excited because it sounds amazing then you are right where you should be. The twin kiss has been a family favorite since I was a little girl.

This glorious ice cream establishment opened it's doors in the year 1955 and hasn't stopped pleasing the public since. It also happens to be conveniently only 100 steps from my grandparent's home in PA (that's their house in the background). As a kid I loved it for two reasons. Firstly, the owners keep a pair of white deer on the premises for you to look at and feed. That's right, White deer. They are cute and friendly and always put you in the best of moods.

Second reason for my twin kiss love affair are the Twinkles. At any ice cream parlor you can ask for sprinkles to top your cone but only at the twin kiss can you find Twinkles. These little bits of joy are crushed up pieces of peanut brittle, jimmies, and I'm pretty sure they add a dash magic. I don't know how something so simple can be so utterly amazing - and yet they are.

James had not yet taken his first journey to the kiss but on our last visit to PA the time had come. I'm pretty sure he loved it. I really don't know how you couldn't.
