Another Catch Up Post...

Hey bloggy friends, so I know I missed a few days again, but don't worry I'm not quitting blogging, things have just been so crazy between initiations and the blizzard. Fayetteville got so much snow, I don't know what the exact amount is but it was definitely the most snow I have ever seen in my life. Thursday night we went over to Naustin's for Nat's birthday. The night was definitely a success and we continued the birthday celebration last night at Grub's. We braved the snow and managed to make it to Grub's and it was a blast. Later Kat, Chan, Schuey, and I headed over to Sigma Chi. So to continue with the ramble of a post, Friday was pretty much just filled with initiations. The major happy moment of Friday came when I headed downstairs and discovered that we had Chicken Finger Friday even though school was cancelled, it's so funny how happy something so little can just brighten your day. I have rediscovered over this blizzard that I am still not really a fan of snow, I still think snow is just winter's cheap imitation of sand. We went sledding on Friday and I have to admit that it was fun for a while but literally after like an hour I was so done with the cold. My hands felt like icicles and I literally thought I was a human Popsicle. My despise for the slick, cold, wet white stuff outside is a mutual feeling because not a single other person on Friday fell walking anywhere other than me. I busted it trying to walk back, at which point I decided I was done with the snow. OK, so here's a new thought I'm getting kind of tired of the whole just listing my day's events and while I'll more than likely still do that the other night I made a list of fun blog topics so I'm hoping to use some of those for new fun blog posts. My happy moment for today was simply it still being the weekend, I LOVE three day weekends they give you so much more time to do everything. Like if it hadn't been a three day weekend I would never have gotten my laundry done or had time to be a bum and finish my homework. I'm hoping that by tomorrow the snowy mess will be gone enough that I can get back into a routine, I'm definitely missing working out and being able to get out and about as I please. Oh and I almost forgot my other happy moment is that I have NEW PICTURES to put up with today's post. Today's picture is one of me, Schuett, and the birthday girl. Talk to you tomorrow (hopefully) blog friends.

Ok, So Third Time's A Charm

So this is my third day in a row to try and update the blog, but since it seems as if the internet hates me. So I'm hoping that this one will actually update. Since I haven't talked to all my bloggy friends in a while I actually have a little bit to update on. Let's see Monday was busy but great, I had my second day at my internship and I have an office. I was so excited to get an office, I just figured I'd be shoved in some conference room but nope I have my own office with a chair and a desk and a computer, I was so excited. And since we already are talking about AAO today I got to set up my e-mail account and voicemail so that was pretty exciting. This week has been packed between interning and all the stuff leading up to initiation. I am so excited for the little owls to finally get initiated!! The weather men are calling for ice and snow tomorrow so I guess we will find out if they are actually right or not. I know this isn't really much of a quality post but it's going to have to do since I still need to shower. My happy moment for Monday was having a ride to my second class so I didn't have to walk in the super cold grossness. My happy moment for Tuesday was getting out of my last class super early. And my happy moment for today was finding someone to go workout with me at like 9:30 tonight, thanks Schuey!! Goodnight bloggy friends!

Sunday Funday

Whoops, I almost forgot to update today. Today was such a busy day I had literally already turned off my light before I remembered that I wanted to go ahead and update. So currently I'm keeping Katie Schuett company in her fabulous closet while she works on stuff for initiation week and I update the blog. Today, Meagan, Abbi, and I went to church and the sermon was so good. It talked about showing God's love to one another and loving people even when the natural response isn't to love. So this week's challenge is to try and apply that to my life. After church we decided to venture to Springdale and eat some Cracker Barrel. It was such a nice normal thing to do, since when I'm home we go to Cracker Barrel almost every Sunday after church. After that we ran a few errands around town until I had to be back at Chi O for a meeting. The meeting went super well and I'm really excited about my position even if learning all of what I have to do was kind of overwhelming at first. After my fun little training session I had a few things to finish up before the week starts. I know this week will be crazy busy but that will be good because I'm way excited for the weekend. This weekend Nat turns 21 so we're all going out to dinner and stuff for her birthday and that should definitely be a good time. This is my last week of school that isn't completely filled with tests and projects so I'm hoping to be able to get a little ahead and prepped for the rest of the semester. Today's happy moment was putting up all my clean clothes, I love starting the week with everything clean and put in its place, I just can't help it I'm an organizational nerd. Today's random picture is from when Katie and I accidentally matched. I had to put it up because we matched again today, I guess it's just a Katie thing, even if she is a fake Katie. Sweet dreams blog friends.

Laid Back Saturday

Today is one of those just great, kind of lazy Saturdays. I'm doing my laundry right now and in between switching it out I'm watching Runaway Bride on TV while drinking some orange juice. I love Runaway Bride it's probably my favorite movie of all time. I literally watched it almost every night for a whole summer. I just love it, it's so cute! Plus, I love orange juice, my Papa told me that drinking orange juice makes you smile, so I can't help but smile every time I drink it. I don't have any large plans for the rest of the day, I'm going to finish up my laundry and workout. I need to go do a little running around this afternoon to get some stuff done before next week. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, we watched Paranormal Activity last night and I DO NOT watch scary movies, like my friends were asking me what the last scary movie was that I watched and I'm not sure that I have ever actually watched a "true" scary movie. So we watched it last night and wow it was so stinking scary. Let's just say I remembered again that I don't like scary movies. I just don't understand why anyone would want to watch a movie and be scared. So after that terrifying movie we decided to watch a happier movie, The Proposal. I have a serious love of chick flicks and I am not ashamed of it. Today's random picture is from Labor Day weekend when we all went to OSU, I just love it because it's in black and white. My happy moment for today was being able to wake up with out having anywhere to be or anything specific to do. Well, I just wanted to go ahead and get a blog post in for the day. Have a happy bumming around Saturday friends.

Happy Friday Friends

Hey, blog friends! It's Friday again, I only had one class today since that other one got cancelled. After class today Nat and I went to the HPER and went ahead and knocked out our workouts for the day. After that I hit up Chicken Finger and chatted it up with some people. This afternoon Chan, Kat, and I went to the mall and I found some black flats to wear to my internship and even better I got them half off!! I love finding things on sale. Right now I'm just killing some time before my friends get back from whatever they are doing. My weekend plans are pretty low key right now I think we are going to go over to Nic and Austin's tonight and cook some dinner, which should be fun and interesting. Well, I guess I didn't have a lot to say today but I wanted to go ahead and get a post in before I got too busy tonight! My happy moment for today was finding a super cute pair of black flats super fast and on SALE!! Today's picture is from homecoming last fall and I pretty much just added it for two reasons: 1. I like it and 2. Posts with pictures are cuter. So, I hope everyone has a fun and safe Friday night!

Rain, Rain Go Away

So my friends' have pretty much made it their new life missions to diss on the blog, but don't worry because that's not going to slow me down. Tuesday/Thursdays are my busy school days but luckily most of my interesting classes fall on these days. Today, I finally turned in my application to get my internship accredited for next fall so hopefully I will hear something back from the coordinator in the near future. This week has flown by since it was a short week I could hardly believe that it was already Thursday. Thursday's are one of my favorite days because we have our house Bible study on Thursdays. Today's Bible study was over conflict and how to handle it, why it can be good, and when to avoid it. It was a good study since I feel like this time of year when everyone is getting adjusted to being together all the time can be tough. Tomorrow my second class got cancelled so after my 8:30 class I am free which makes me feel like I am getting a longer weekend. I just love when classes get cancelled I feel like it rarely happens so when it does I get so excited. Today's happy moment was when Sgibs called and said she could come and pick me up from my last class, today was just a cold and rainy and pretty much gross day so I was pretty excited for a chance to ride in her new car and super excited not to have to walk all the way back in the yucky weather. Since I am pretty sure a post becomes a million times more interesting when it includes a picture today's random picture is one of me and Sgibs on Bid Day last semester. Don't you think pictures with balloons and sunglasses just make a rainy day a whole lot better? I do. Plus she picked me up so I didn't have to walk in the rain so that just adds a little extra cheer to it :)

First Day at My Big Girl Job

So today I felt so legit and big girl like, and I'm pretty sure that statement just ruined all the grown-up points I got today but I don't care. I started with AAO today and absolutely love it. I am so excited to get to work on their upcoming projects. Today was a day that just made me so confident in my decision to major in advertising and public relations. Most of my work with AAO will deal with more public relations things and I have kind of thought that PR would be the area I would like more and I hope this will help me figure it out. Classes went well today and since we didn't have class on Monday the week seems to be flying by. We found out today that our formal is going to be called Formal Unknown where we will ride on a bus to some unknown destination and even better it's not until April so it won't be freezing outside! I am so so so excited about it. Since I'm on a formal kick right now I figured I might as well upload a picture of last year's formal which was an absolute blast. I didn't really have a whole lot to say today other than just how wonderful my first day was at AAO. My little bit of happy moment is a toss up between two. My first little bit of happy was getting a good workout in once Sarah dragged me to the gym and feeling so awesome once I was done even though I didn't want to go. My second little bit of happy is that its thunder storming outside right now and I love sleeping when its raining I'm sure that I won't be as happy if I wake up and its still raining but right now it's making me want to curl up and go to sleep. Night bloggy world!

I'm Back

So, after making a big deal on my last post about trying really hard to update everyday I miss two days. In my defense the Internet in the house has been down, weak excuse but at least I actually have stuff to say since I missed some days, ha. Let's see on Sunday I went to Church at Arkansas with Meagan and Abbi. The sermon was so good. It was on how we should be less selfish which is something I struggle with. It's so easy to be unselfish when you want to be but so hard to be unselfish all the time. It's been my goal for the week to be less selfish and I'm trying to do it not just in big things but also in all the little everyday things. I keep reminding myself how much it can help brighten my day when someone sacrifices her time or energy for me so the least I can do is do it for someone else. After church I spent the afternoon catching up with some friends I hadn't had the chance to see in a while. Sunday night since we didn't have school on Monday we went over to Nic and Austin's house and hung out. So see blog world I actually do go out some, ha. Monday was a fairly calm day with not a whole of stuff going on. I met my parent's in Alma to pick up some stuff I forgot when I moved back up. It was good to see them even if it had only been a week since I came back, I am definitely a family person and love getting to see them every chance I get. The picture I put up is from Dad's day this year and I just love it, I put it up in a frame in my room just the other day. This week is going to be a busy week. I had a GAMMA meeting this afternoon and start my internship tomorrow. We have Bible study starting on Thursday and I am so excited about that I love the girl's in it and Colby and Amy do an awesome job leading it. I learned a whole lot last semester during it so I'm eager to start back up. I guess I should probably wrap this up and finish up some stuff for class tomorrow. My little bit of happy moment for the day was having time to hang out with Kara between class and GAMMA. It's still so weird to go from seeing her everyday for two years to having to actually plan to hang out. I got so lucky when it came to roommates because we just worked so well together. Well it's good to be back blogging, talk to you tomorrow blog world.

Saturday, WooHoo

Hey bloggy friends! So, let's see what I have to chat about today. This blogging everyday is more difficult than I first imagined it would be, but I'm really determined to try and do it everyday this year so I can have a whole record of 2010. So for starters me and Sgibs got to spin half an hour early and still didn't get bikes because we didn't realize we should go into the room before the class before it was over. But, on the bright side since we didn't get to participate the teacher gave us each some free passes to attend spin classes in the future, so YAY for that. After our lack of spin classes we went and saw The Lovely Bones and it was super scary. I've read the book and the book was kind of scary at parts but the movie was super intense. Even though I felt like my heart was going to beat out of my chest at certain points the movie was still really good in capturing the book as a whole. Today was spent conquering some errands and finishing decorating my bed. Tonight's another low key night, I just still don't feel 100% and start to feel pretty crummy at night so I decided I probably wouldn't be very much fun if I went out. Right now me and sgibs are watching a movie that I can't remember the name of but it's super funny. I am starting to get so pumped about this semester. My classes are so so so much better than last semester and I can't wait to start my internship not to mention spring break in Panama, turning 21, and all the functions and nights out coming up! So stinking exciting! I promise that there will be more interesting posts coming up, ha. Today's happy moment goes to changing out the frames in my room with all the pictures I printed over Christmas break. Speaking of pictures that make me smile here's one of Rocky in his Christmas pajamas. I miss my puppy :( Well, I hope all of you are out having crazy fun Saturday nights and a great 3 day weekend.

It's Finally Friday!

It's finally Friday!!! Yay. This weekend is going to be a pretty chill weekend for me. The cough medicine was amazing I finally slept a full night and that was much needed. I recruited Sgibs to go see The Lovely Bones with me tonight after we attempt to hit up a spin class at the HPER. During my selling and sales management class today a woman from the career center came and discussed the upcoming career fair. The thought of actually being a grown-up in the real world with a real job makes me want to barf, but not as much as the thought of trying to find a big person job. I have no idea how I'm supposed to go about such a thing, ugh. Oh well that's definitely an issue I'm going to just ignore for the time being. I love Friday afternoons, I might like them more than any other part of the weekend. Friday afternoons are always so open and carefree and the whole weekend is in front of you. So far this Friday afternoon I've read some of my book, done a little facebooking, and will probably conclude it with a little nap. I can't think of anything else that makes for a more perfect afternoon, well maybe other than adding in a trip to Sonic. I feel as if my blog may make my life seem a little dull to others, but I just absolutely love it. I love the everydayness of things, don't get me wrong I love when exciting, busy, different things happen but for the most part I just really enjoy the everydayness of being me. I used to feel as if I should always have something really big going on or I should always being going out and I still feel that way sometimes but lately I have just been trying to remember that I don't always have to be doing something huge to have a good time. It's so hard for me to realize that it's okay if I'd rather go to the movie or out to dinner with my friends than go to some crazy party all the time. Well that was my little spill for today, ha. So my little happy moment for the day goes to the general Friday afternoon. There is just nothing happier than a Friday afternoon. And since I'm in the mindset that a blog post should include pictures here's yet another old picture from last semester. Hope everyone has a great Friday afternoon/evening!

Yay for Cough Medicine!

So, since I just realized I forgot to do a happy moment for yesterday I'm going to start and end today's post with happy moments. My happy moment for today is that I got some prescription cough medicine which I hope means I will get to fall asleep quickly as will my sweet 15 roommates. My roommates have been so sweet to not hate me for coughing so much. I feel so horrible for coughing and keeping them up, but not a single one of them has said anything about it and almost all of them have asked me how I feel and if I'm feeling better. I just have the best friends and roommates. Just as I was typing this Mom Sylvia brought me a cough drop because I was having a massive cough fest. The weekend is only one short day away and tomorrow is CHICKEN FINGER FRIDAY, yay I love love love chicken finger Friday. I'm trying not to use the blog as a place to gripe but my head is killing me and I just want to quit coughing so bad. OK, enough negative my other happy moment for the day was ending up in a group for all my classes with people I actually know and know will be super helpful when doing group projects. Well I'm going to hopefully stop coughing long enough to go workout. Good Night!

The Olympics are Coming, The Olympics are Coming

Hey blog world! Guess what?! The Olympics start next month. I am so excited, I love the Olympics. The summer games are my favorite but the winter ones have ice skating and I love love love ice skating. I cannot even wait! Since, I don't have a TV in my room right now it's a very good thing that I have friends who love the Olympics with equal amounts of passion as I do. Today was a fairly laid back day, I love the first few days of class when you go to school but you don't have any homework to do afterwards. I spent this afternoon at the HPER and then me and Kara went and saw Leap Year which was cute. There are so many cute movies coming out in the next month or so. I guess that's another good thing about winter, there are usually more movies during that time than summer. I'm watching American Idol right now, and wow you could not pay me a million bucks to sing on TV. Some of these people, bless their hearts just need to go home and keep their singing in the shower. I hate that I only add old pictures to my blog but I feel like the posts without pictures just look sad. So here's an old pic from last semester. This one is me, Sty, and Schuey at Yippee Chi O which is by far one of my favorite functions from last semester!

Summer Please Hurry, Love Katie

Hey world! Today's was one of those wonderfully normal days. You know the days where you just wake up and are in a good mood and it just keeps going throughout the day. I woke up before my alarm which always makes me happy and my classes seem super interesting and even though the HPER was super busy I got a machine super fast and then I managed to buy all my books used. I just love days where all the little things line up. So today while I was writing down all the stuff from my syllabus I realized that my BIRTHDAY is in 66 days (if I counted right) which also means spring break is in 66 days!!! We are going to Panama City for spring break, but I prefer to refer to it as we are going to the beach for my BIRTHDAY!! I'm so excited, it's going to be so much fun. What could be more fun than a week on the beach! I cannot wait! Yay, yay, yay! Today's pic, is from Labor Day weekend and was as close to a summer of a picture that I could find. So today's little bit of happy moment was knowing people in all of my classes. So, yes, I know this sounds lamer than lame but I hate when I don't know anyone on the first day of school.

A Mix Match Post

So I survived the first day back to classes and luckily I actually know lots of people in both of my classes today. AND on a super happy note it wasn't freeze your booty off cold outside today, YAY!!! Today, Westy, Schuett, Dani, and I went to a class called FIT at the HPER that was awesome. I expected the class to be a good workout but I didn't expect it to be as intense as it was. We ran stairs, we lunged, we jumped, and we definitely got our workouts in. Everyone has been making fun of me for my new love of blogging but I'm going to ignore those people because I like the idea of having a record of my year. I understand that I could do the same thing by keeping a journal but the idea of writing in a notebook is just too daunting for me. I know today's post was just a hodge/podge but I'm really trying to keep up with the updating everyday. My happy moment for the day was when I got a free diet coke while I was in the union today. It was just a simple little thing but it made me smile. :) Sorry there isn't a new picture to go with today's post. Goodnight friends.

Why I Like Winter....

So I'm back in Fay and successfully moved in. I'm pretty sure I won't know where any of my stuff is for at least a month but all of it does have a home, ha. My bed area looks pretty cute so far, I still have some pictures to put up but that's probably not going to happen tonight. I'm so glad that I finally got to see all my girls back in Fay. Today's pic is just another random of some of my Fayetteville friends, I promise I'll post actual new pictures that pertain to new posts at some point.

So on my way back to school today I decided that instead of whine about how much I hate winter I should create a list of reasons I love/like/tolerate winter. Here goes (this may be quite short)

• I LOOOVVVE scarves.


• Peacoats are super cute


• Hot Chocolate (enough said)


• Fires in the fireplace


• Christmastime


• Warm sweats


• You're never hot enough to sweat

Well that was pretty short, but at least it was somewhat of a list. Today's happy moment was organizing my backpack. I love starting the semester off with organized binders with everything hole punched and labeled. I'm pretty sure this makes me a super nerd, but school supplies are so exciting. Well, I'm going to finish everything up for tomorrow. Talk to you later bloggy friends!!

Bye, bye Cway...Hello Fay

So today's my last day at home, I'm going to head back to Fay tomorrow morning after church. I hate the switch between home and school. I love going back to see everyone but I also hate leaving all my family and "cway" friends too. Ugh, I guess I should be grateful I have so many people I love in both places. It's still so strange for me to think that the people I'm so ready to get back and see haven't always been a part of my life but they are some of the people who know me better than anyone else. Everyone always told me that I would meet people in college and wonder how I had made it that far without them. I always thought this was just a cliche but I now totally understand what they meant. This post is going to be a short one since I still have some packing to do, hopefully I'll have some time to update tomorrow and let you know how getting moved into the 16 girl attic goes. I'm kind of afraid all my stuff won't fit, ha. My little bit of happy moment for today goes to printing new pictures to go in my frames back at school, I just love having tons of photos everywhere. Here's one of my favorite ones I printed today.

Back to Reality

Hey friends! So this semester is going to start on Monday, WOW! I knew break was ending but for some reason the idea of school starting didn't really click with me. Luckily I am so excited about my classes and schedule this semester. All of my classes have to do with my major or minor and most importantly I am DONE, DONE, DONE with Spanish. I have never struggled as much with a subject as I did with Spanish. That subject just never clicked for me not to mention the three semesters I had it the class started at 7:30 am. I'm a morning person but 7:30 is just too early to be in class, especially Spanish class. Additionally, this semester I have the opportunity to intern with Arkansas Athlete Outreach and I am so excited to actually see some of the things I've been learning in a "real world" setting. Even though I am pumped about my classes and internship its still going to take a little while to get back into a routine since I've definitely been on vacation for the past month. I had two little bit of happy moments today. One was running into two friends from school today while shopping in Little Rock. I always get really excited whenever I run into people from school outside Fayetteville! The other little bit of happy moment has to be that the back part of Target looks like Sam's right now which combines my love of mass quantity and Target together and that's a whole lot of happy right there. I guess I had better get off the computer and maybe attempt to tackle a little more packing. The pic I posted shows some of my favorite "Fayetteville" friends :) and a large part in my motivation for packing.

Happy List

Hey peeps! So since all I did today was pack and that would make for an extremely boring post I decided that I should do a list of some of my favorite things (and just an fyi packing is not on this list). So here I go with my list of what makes me happy :)

• Sunshine


• Sweet Tea


• Colored Pens


• Icees


• Random Text Messages


• Sonic Happy Hour


• Painted Nails


• Mass Quantity (aka Sam's Club)


• Things that match


• Getting Mail


• Black & White Photos (see picture above :)


• Back Pictures (because it's like a secret that only the people in the photo know)


• Hug Pictures (again see picture above :)


• Colored straws


• Perfume (Burberry Beat is my FAVE right now, but Amazing Grace is my all time fave)


• Target trips


• Long phone calls


• Quotes


• Tailgating (that picture includes three of my faves and of course a few of my fave people)


• Christmas lights


• Haircuts


• Cute cups


• Lazy Sundays


• Tan lines


• Being the first person up


• Burned CDs


• Adventures


• Friday afternoons


• Girls nights


• Sweatpants


• Chicken Finger Friday


• New t-shirts


• The cold side of the pillow


• Waking up before my alarm


• TV marathons on rainy days

I guess you could say I love the everydayness of my life.

Books, Books, Books

So, can we please first discuss the immense desire I have for sunshine, suntans, suntan lotion, and all things not related to the really cold weather currently inhabiting my turf. This love of sunshine is what made me post the happy picture from the end of summer a time when people went barefoot and wore shorts and tanks and watched movies on the lawn, if I can't actually be warm at least I can remember warmer things. Ok, now that I've repeated my despise of cold weather I guess I should move on to other things. First things first, I finished The Lovely Bones and it was really good. The book turned out nothing like what I had really expected and definitely exceeded my ideas. I thought the book was going to be really sad and while it had its sad moments for the most part it was just a really great story. I am already marking the day the movie comes out in my agenda, it's going to be a must-see for me. I have a habit of reading books that have movies being made about them. For example, I read The Time Traveler's Wife due to the previews I saw for the movie, unfortunately I started reading too late and am now stuck waiting for the movie to come out on DVD so I can watch it. The Time Traveler's Wife was probably my favorite book from last year. The book followed a complicated relationship that transcended space and time in a way that was really interesting. Following the same pattern I am about to start reading Dear John which has a film coming out soon. My theory is if the book is good enough for someone who read it to think "I should make a movie out of this" than its good enough for me to read. Other than reading my day today consisted of a workout followed by a fun little trip to the doctor's office to get rid of my cough (which he said was bronchitis) and then after that not a whole lot else worth noting. I know my life is just so riveting, ha, but I have to admit I love every minute of it. Well, actually I didn't totally love sitting in the waiting room because it just stresses me out, people coughing and snorting their noses, it just seems like a high quantity of germs should be present so if you aren't sick you soon will be. My little bit of happy today goes to the slick, shiny coat of almost grayish nail polish on my fingers. Something about painted nails just makes me so extremely happy that I was born a girl. I love all things girly and nail polish is towards the top of girly things I love. Sweet dreams bloggy friends.

These are a few of my favorite things...

Hey bloggy world! I've decided that this blog is definitely becoming something I'm doing more for myself than for others to read so I won't be offended if no one ever reads this. Ha. Today was a day filled with pretty much all my favorite parts of Conway. My old roommate Kara (who will probably here on be called Rooms because I can't really remember the last time I actually used her name) and I went to lunch at Stoby's, which is only our favorite place. We ate the cheese dip and caught up and then did what we do best and did a little window shopping. To kick it off we hit up Target which is my favorite place to wander around. We then realized that neither of us had been shopping in downtown in a while and managed to cruise through a few shops down there. We obviously finished a successful afternoon with a trip to Sonic during happy hour. I cannot even express how much I love just window shopping and cruising about town, I guess it doesn't really take a whole lot to make me happy. My day finished up with a trip to see my grandma (Gigi) where we just watched the Arkansas game and hung out. I'm keeping it pretty low key tonight because I haven't been feeling all that perky because of a pesky cough. My little bit of happy moment today has to go to waking up to my dog, Rocky, who had jumped into my bed. I know that sounds super lame and I am so beyond not an animal person and I only kind of like other people's dogs but I am super obsessed with mine. As in if we have ever had a handful of conversations you have heard about Rocky. Rocky is the dog my family got my senior year of high school and he is a miniature bulldog who is dumb as dirt but so so so sweet. He is the cuddliest dog that has no idea that he is a dog. He will just let me pick him up and tote him around like a little kid, which is quite a workout since he now weighs 40 pounds. I'm going to upload a picture of him in his Christmas pajamas once I finish uploading all my Christmas photos. I added a pic of me and Kara from last year when we both had tacky sweater parties to go to. We are posing with our Diet Coke in Koozies, two addictions we both share. I'm about to call it a very early night. Night, bloggy world!

Christmas Break

So Christmas break is quickly ending and as much as I can't wait to see my friends back in Fayetteville I am loving every second of my time back home. This break has just been a super laid back time with lots of family stuff and catching up with old friends. Probably one of my favorite parts of the break has just been all the down time I've spent pretty much just bummin. Nothing makes for a better winter day than a good work-out followed by watching whichever tv show marathon is on or reading a good book. I've managed to read more books in the past two weeks than I did in the entire last semester. Speaking of which I began reading The Lovely Bones today and am really liking it so far, I am hoping to finish it before I go back to the craziness of spring semester and also before the movie comes out early this month. Don't worry I'll give you my full review of what I think of it once I finish. I feel like my blog posts are extremely random and tend to ramble but just hang with me and hopefully I'll get the hang of it before too long. So on that note onto another random topic....One of my goals for this year is to really be thankful and find joy and happiness in the little things in life so I'm going to try to end each post with one little thing that put a smile on my face that day. Today's little bit of happy has to go to clean pajamas that smell like the detergent my mom uses, the same one I use but can't ever get my clothes smelling as good as when my mom washes them. The picture I posted is one of me and Katie Schuett in our matching owl pjs (the same ones I'm wearing now) this picture is definitely another thing that makes me smile. Sweet dreams bloggy world!!

First Post & Snow Day

So, I got a blog..... I have no idea really what I'm supposed to write on here but I feel like it will be a fun way to remember 2010. So far I've had more fun picking out the background for my blog but I figure that I have to do a post since a blank blog won't look too cute. It's a snowy day around here which I LOVE as long as I don't have to touch it or go out in it, cold weather is just not my idea of a great time. But, I do love looking out my warm cozy window to see the pretty snow. I hope you have a great snow day!
