Happy Monday

Happy Monday friends! Today was a "real" Monday including Chapter. For some reason school never really seems to be "real" until we have our first chapter when we get all the dates for everything in the semester. This semester is going to be so great! I just am so stinking excited. My schedule is busy but completely doable and I just can't wait for all the fun things that are scheduled and will pop up. I'm getting so excited about our first function, Yippie Chi O. This is probably in my top three favorite functions we have each year. It's just so so so much fun. Now I just need to figure out what I'm going to wear, ha. Today's happy moment was only having one class. It was so nice to have the WHOLE afternoon to run errands and do some stuff I had been putting off. Well, I guess I'll leave ya'll with my favorite picture from senior night. Hope ya'll had a great Monday!

Sunday's are the Best

Seriously, Sunday has to be one of my favorite days of the week. I just love Sundays! This Sunday started with a trip to my Fayetteville church, the Church at Arkansas. I love this church, after coming to college it took me a little while of church hopping before I finally settled with the Church at Arkansas last year. This church is super college focused which is great. Schuett and Nat decided to come with me today to check it out and since everyone was going Dani decided that she wanted to see where we went to church so she tagged along too! I met up with Meag once we got there. Meag's been my church going buddy since freshman year. Since we go to the same church back home it was easy for us to find a church that we both liked up here. The service was great today with probably my favorite line being that "Faith is an action word." This really seemed to hit home with me since its easy to just have faith and not act on it which isn't the way God intended it. After the service I had the opportunity to run into Brad and Debbie who are the couple that runs AAO the non-profit I interned for last semester. I love running into people I haven't seen in a while and it was nice to quickly catch up. After church we decided to grab a quick bite at La Huerta before heading home. Apart from church my other favorite part about Sundays is using them as a day to prepare for the upcoming week. I decided that today I should tackle some cleaning and homework. I love having a clean house at the start of the week and even better was that I got all my laundry done too. Its so nice to start the week without the stress of those little things hanging over my head. Jacob got back into town around five so I headed over there to get some things my parents had sent back up to me and decided to stay and eat dinner with him. Have I mentioned how stinking excited I am that he goes to school up here?, because I'm ridiculously thrilled. I'm now back home trying to finish up some homework for later in the week while watching The Princess Diaries, I'm such a sucker for chick flicks, ha. Happy moment for the day was getting to eat the leftovers my parents sent up with my brother for dinner. It was so fun to catch up with him and have a free meal! Well, bloggy friends I hope ya'll had a great Sunday too!

Hanging on to Summertime

Today was a perfect first official Saturday back to school, well actually today was more of a hang on to summer Saturday. I started the day with some window shopping with B. Nash and Schuett and followed it up with some pool time with Meagan. I love laying out by the pool reading a magazine. I mean I just can't think of a better way to relax than to hang out by the pool and since recruitment I haven't really had a chance to catch much sun and felt like I was beginning to look like Casper. This morning while we were window shopping we stopped by ULTA. I had never been to one before but all my friends from Tulsa love the place and a new one just opened in Fayetteville so we decided we should definitely check it out. It was so cool, it had a ton of makeup and hair stuff. It had brands ranging from drug store stuff to department store brands. It was so neat to just walk around and see it all, and if you know me at all you know I am a straight up girly girl at heart and love all things related to makeup and hair. I definitely recommend stopping in there. So far today has been a perfect first "real" weekend back in Fay. Even with as great as today has been I am so pumped for next weekend and the first Hogs game of the season. I can't wait to tailgate and get to see my family. I just love Arkansas football. So to wrap it up my happy moment for today was getting to catch up with Meagan by the pool. I loved getting to hang out with her since we haven't been able to hang out much since recruitment. Happy Saturday Bloggy Friends!

I'm Back...

Hey bloggy friends (or the one of you that's left since I've left the blogosphere unattended for so long)! I would like to say that my ridiculously long blog break was due to some crazy, outrageous save the world summer I was having, but let's be real that would be a lie. Basically, I just got lazy with the whole blog thing, but with a new school year I'm trying to get back with it. I love being able to look back through the old posts I do have and really want to try and be more intentional with trying to blog. I would try to catch you up with all that's happened since April but that would probably just overwhelm me and cause me to quit blogging again so we're cutting our losses and moving forward from here. With that said, the first week of classes are finally over and so far they seem to be going pretty well. I love that I'm finally in classes that I really enjoy. I'm loving my Public Relations Cases class and creative strategy seems like it should be interesting. I also love that most of my classes have people in them that I have been in class with before, everyone said that eventually you would have all the same people in your classes because your all majoring in the same thing and its finally happened! Yay! Well my happy moment for today goes to opening my window this morning to the wonderful cooler weather and burning my favorite honeysuckle candle while I got ready. Happy weekend blog friends, I'll leave you with a picture of all the Conway Chi O's, love them so much!
