Karnival Kilter

Kilter |ˈkiltər| n. - a fun dance that Covenant puts on where the girls ask the guys. Every year Kilter has a different theme that people dress up to. Also, it is usually required that the girls as the guys in a creative way.

This year for Kilter I decided to ask Grant. ... After asking him in a very uncreative way, I redid my asking and made him muffins, a card, and gave him a balloon. I dropped it by his window last Saturday afternoon.

After reading the card...

Grant thought about it... and said YES! :)

The night of Kilter arrived.... Grant decided to go as a gypsy/fortune teller and I went as a mime :) 

Virginia helped out a ton by curling my hair for me.

Mime!(In training... that way I could talk.)

Damarise (Timothy from Dumbo), Virginia, and me (Mime)

Damarise and I were excited!

This is the group of us that went to Kilter together: 

Grant (fortune teller), Me (mime), Janessa (girl from Despicable Me), Davey (the fluffy unicorn that the girl won), Jamie (Dumbo), Damarise (Timothy the mouse).

Davey and Janessa. Davey's costume was AMAZING!

Grant and me. So fun!

Damarise and Jamie. So great!

At Kilter we found some friends:

Us with Karly!

Riding the carousel. 

Us with Micah. 

Bonnie and me. 

Sisters! 

It was a FUN night filled with lots of laugh, lots of costumes, and lots of friends! 

Karnival Kilter = Best Kilter Yet. 

Because Pictures are Worth a Thousand Words...

Because they say that pictures are worth a thousand words, I thought I'd post some pictures of the past weekend. 

Friday night Damarise, Annie, and I went to watch Kung Fu Panda 2 in the dollar theater. It was a blast. Afterwards we ate some Japanese food just to fit in with the theme of the night.

So, it's decided. I cannot keep plants alive. Twig One died earlier this Summer and I'm pretty sure Twig Two is following in the same manner. I bought an aloe vera plant the other day and I'm hoping it will survive! If not I may just have to read this book.

Pasha's Coffee! We haven't been there as much this summer, but it is the best coffee shop around. Micah, Damarise, and I will spend Saturday mornings there visiting with each other and chatting about life with the baristas working. We always have a blast laughing, chatting, and hearing about what the baristas have been up to throughout their week. Also a plus, Pasha's has some of the best coffee ever! 

Today we took Grant to Knoxville to catch a bus home. We toured around the city for a bit while waiting for his bus. We had fun taking pictures of the most random things.
