Memorial Day Pig Roast

I was in town this Memorial Day and a group of my friends decided to have a pig roast to celebrate the holiday. The party was in fact a "Jarty" that required all guests to wear denim, lots and lots of denim. It was also pretty hot that day so I was able to unearth a jean skirt and a jean jacket, but it was way too hot for that so I stuck with just the skirt and an undershirt (to class it up). There were a few far better outfits at the party, however:

And, as the title suggests, there was also a pig roast. Now, this wasn't a giant pig turning on a spit (as I witnessed once on a trip to Penn State with my friend, Kait), but it was still pretty delicious:

To cool off, there was a shot block out back and lots of other fun activities. Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day and took (at least a little bit of) time to remember all those who have passed in protection of our country!

Happy Memorial Day!

Memorial Day

Whoopsies, I took a rather large break from blogging during my move. Now that things have settled down a bit, I am happy to report that all of my things (and Christine's) are in the new apartment. Minor setbacks: DirecTV claims my apartment faces the wrong way for their service even though my near neighbors have dishes; didn't have a microwave or stove top for the first weekend because the apartment peeps forgot to finish setting up my apartment; no Internet. Luckily, after moving in, we had loads of fun for Memorial Day weekend. Our friend Brian had a Memorial Day/ Mike's Going Away/ Danny and RV's Birthday Crawfish Boil. It was quite the celebration. Christine bought balloons for all the events and Brian made sure his house was red, white, and blue ready. I made dark chocolate cream cheese cupcakes (at Mike's request) and Oreo chunk chocolate chip cookies and enjoyed lots of crawfish! Here are some photos from our weekend:




And I'd like to say thanks to all in the military who are working hard to protect this country, yesterday, today, and tomorrow! Happy (belated) Memorial Day everyone!
