Victims of a terrorist attack...

One Sunday afternoon, my roommate Melissa and I were innocently preparing lunch when literal HELL broke loose. Melissa opened the oven, took out the pan, placed it on the stove top, took two steps backwards and BAM!

The 13x9 Pyrex pan we used LITERALLY exploded all over our kitchen! I was a few feet away when I witnessed the BOMB "x-men" around Melissa and she came out unscathed. Though I was walking around with a very small but prominent piece of glass in my foot for a week, the worst part about it all was that the food was unsalvagable. Another interesting thing is that APPARENTLY this "explosion" of Pyrex pans is actually not all that uncommon in the 13x9 pans! WARNING: Unless you would like to DIE, I suggest you NEVER use a 13x9 Pyrex pan again in your life. Here is the proof: (Please note the title of the article. It's so dramatic it's inspiring.) http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2006/03/pyrex_panic.html May God speed as you all prepare your next dish...

Welcome to Berlin

So when your neighbor's trying to learn how to drive a stick shift, you might wanna mention that practicing somewhere like the church parking lot is a much better idea than their backyard. I am happy to announce the union of East and West Germany...

For all those who are curious, pieces of the wall are still available to purchase...

Afternoon tea & scones at Harrod's... I swear I didn't drink it!

It started out being a fake struggle up the small hill... but for Nicole, it became a REAL one. I nearly wet myself.

The Hirsts in Huddersfield

Bently, the largest dog I've ever seen

My companion in Zurich!

I don't know why we decided to do this but the final frame of this video is amazing to me. I didn't know I could do that.

A zoo in Rappersville outside of Zurich. (I know, right? Rappersville? Amazing.) That elephant ended up trying to eat me and this rhino honestly became one of my best friends. Seriously. He LOVED me.

Awkward double date...

Me and Nancy on the beach and Chelsea trying to bury Corey in pebbles... bless.

The 15th Century farmhouse we stayed in (gorgeous) and us at the harbor in Vennes

On the ferry back to England...

And thus ends my trip to Europe. I ended up changing my plans last minute and staying in England for another week. Absolutely brilliant idea! I would put pictures up from that week, but I feel like this is the longest post in the world so I won't... Nicole and her husband Chris are moving to Europe in September so I might just have more pictures of Europe in the near future. Ta-ra for now, luvs!
