My site right now is lame.  I'm fully aware and hope to make some moderate improvements so that the Tri Delt xanga community doesn't riot and humiliate me publicly. 

Thanks

So friends, it has been a long time.  I acknowledge that completely.  My fault.  However, I come to you with this sacrifice of atonement: YEAR IN REVIEW 2005!

So here it goes. . . inspired by Annie T this past weekend at Konnection, I'm going month by month to give the highlights and honorable mentions out to the years events.  (perhaps a low light in there every once in a while too)

January

Highlight: January 12 First date with Josh Woodward.  This has indeed affected the whole year.

Honorable Mention: Trip to Miami for the National Championship game.  As Jay Albert puts it: "This is where the romance started."  Shout outs to Josh, Jay, Amy, and the women of tropical thunder: Keri Smith, Katie Seikel, and Nellie, for making the trip especially great.  Here is a picture of the boonchiest old man ever.  Like a stalker, I took this on the beach in front of our hotel.

 

February

Honestly, I'm having a lot of trouble remembering this month.  So these may suck.

Highlight: I started to like Chinese food.

Honorable Mention:  I don't know.

March

Highlight: Spring Break trip with Kyla to Breckenridge and Colorado Springs!  I got to hang out with the sis at focus on the family, ski, and spend quality time with some of my favorite people in the world: the Roes.

Lowlight: Josh Woodward lost his election for student body president.  Three months of effort were out the window.  However, in retrospect, I’m so thankful that he didn’t win.  Who wants to deal with those people anyway?

April

Highlight: Arkansas trip to see my sister Kenna.

 

Honorable Mention:  I don't remember. . .. 

May

Staff training week!  What a wonderful place!  I only look back on Kanakuk with great memories.  Even staff training week is a great time of bonding and growing.  Perhaps the greatest things was being in such a wonderfully uplifting place and being surrounded by the beauty of Christ through scenery as well.

Highlight:  The moment Michael Tate took the stage at the camp wide gathering at K2, I suddenly transformed into a giddy middleschooler.  I couldn’t help it!  Just his voice in itself reminded me of the early days of Christianity in my life.  So I had to get a picture

Honorable Mention:  NASCAR Party

June - Kanakuk

Highlight: CAMO party.  I got into a fight over a milk jug with a fellow counselor.  The fight ended with 15+ girls surrounding my kicking body and the other counselor, after trying to tear my milk jug out of my death grip, realizing “O, this is Katie.  What am I doing?” 

Honorable Mention:  K-Wet with my girls.  What a wonderful experience.  The girls really bonded and some great leadership qualities surfaced.  We even got to give the honor tripper award to Sarah.  

July - Oxford

Highlight: What I will call “The Oxford Experience”

Honorable Mention:  A lone bike ride up a mountain in Swizterland.

August -

Highlight: Vatican.  It is the most amazing place on earth!

Honorable Mention: Rush.  Although I arrived late, I still love my deltas.  But even more than that, I LOVE our baby deltas!

Honorable Mention: PLC Retreat.  This was so much fun.  Henry and I are going to try to be the first ever OU students to attend 4 straight PLC retreats!

September

Highlight: Hosting Martin Feldstein.  He was the economics advisor to president Regan and at the time I hosted him, one of the top candidates for the nomination of FED Chairman.  He teaches Micro at Harvard.

Honorable Mention: OU Football.  Even though the season did not turn out for us, OU football is such an exciting event on campus, it cannot be neglected.

October

Highlight:  OU/TX Weekend (and WICKED)

Honorable Mention:  Everything’s up to date in Kansas City.  I have no pictures of this, but Val and I took the most wonderful roadtrip to Kansas City.  We shopped and ate at the cheesecake factory and then headed home.  Three cheers for good times in the car with friends!

November

Highlight: Thanksgiving skirt.

Lowlight: Dolphin Dots weekend- I spent a whole day working on Dolphin Dots

December

Highlight: Morgan Mystery Vacation (MMV) to New York City.  I got to see Wicked on the 2nd row! ! ! ! ! ! We also saw Fiddler on the Roof and Dirty Rotten Scoundrals.  New Year's Eve was spent in Times Square.

Honorable Mention:  Becoming Tri Delta President!  I love Tri Delta Theta Gamma!

Sorry, there were going to be more pictures, but I exceeded my capacity!  I hope you enjoy anyway!
