Freedom after finals

At 32 degrees farenheit water turns into FREEDOM!

The end of our first semester had finally come, and we all celebrated by playing in the snow for hours... SO what exactly do you get when you combine a ton of snow, 4 computer , 1 mechanical, 1 geological, and 1 bio-medical engineering majors? Well, we are freshman...so dont expecet too much outta us...haha

SO here it is our magnificant snow cave...it has 3 entrances!

entance 1

entances 2 and 3

Heres me and my friends packed inside our little cave!

Oh how we love snow!

All in all it was an excellent semester with a fabulous ending :-)

Happy 50th Merily!

I hope your very special day brought you lots of joy!

Girlie Time in NYC!!!

Is any day really complete without dessert???--This was 11:30PM after watching the Lion King!!! What better way to ensure staying awake during the commute home than sugar SUGAR and more SUGAR???
Okay--- so I guess Shel and I enjoyed our desserts a little too much!!!
A girls utopia... too bad I couldn't even afford to look at the jewelry -let alone try and purchase a piece---Abby however- could not refrain and broke down and bought a sterling silver ring... we were all quite happy (and jealous) for her!!!
The three of us starting out on our NYC venture--- nice and smooshed on the packed train!!
Wonderful amazing time square... this was when we first got to NYC... by dinner time--- PEOPLE were everywhere! You seriously had to take tiny baby steps while busting through the crowd!!! OH how I LOVE NYC!

Memories of Christmas Past

I'll never forget the Christmas when Ryan was given his beloved pet horse "Winnie". Tears of joy streamed down his face as he and his four-legged friend met nose to muzzle. This would be the beginning of a beautiful friendship...




-A new bridle-- $45

-Four new horse shoes-- $65

-A Christmas wish come true and saving a horse from the glue factory-- priceless!

"Sincerely Humbled"

Uncle Jeff thought it best to cease blogging,
So as not to be accused of site hogging,
To let some heal their scars,
Like “swimmers” and “r’s”,
I’ll even stop with the sharp witted floggings.

Now I’m sure this will come as a shock.
That some will consider a crock,
But just rest assured,
As I give you my word,
I’m only trying to gather the flock.

I’ve decided to turn over a new leaf,
For some this will cause disbelief,
With no more attacks,
It should bring bloggers back,
And the “east-coasters” will sigh in relief.

So my hope’s that this act’s not too late,
And we’ll start with a sparkly clean slate,
And then when you see,
Just how nice I can be,
You’ll be filled up with love and not hate.

I’ll return to the blog, Martin Clan,
And post stuff as nice as I can,
I know it sounds sappy,
But it should make all of “them” happy,
Which is tops on the list of my plan.
