OMG Em's Engaged!!!!

So my best friend since birth, literally birth our parents are best friends, got engaged over spring break to her boyfriend of forever. I turned my phone back on once we got to port in Galveston (the cruise will be a separate post, as will my birthdayness but this engagement takes priority) and had a text from Emily that said something along the lines of get out of the ocean and off the boat because I'm ENGAGED!! I literally screamed when I read it and preceded to psycho dial her phone despite the fact it was 2 am in Hawaii where she was, whoops. I finally text her mom at 5 am Hawaii time and asked her to have Em call me AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, you know in case Emily's phone had fallen in a volcano or something like that and she had missed my seven phone calls and multiple text messages. I am dying to go home and see her and her beautiful ring and talk all things wedding with her! I can't believe I now have two engaged friends, I'm so excited for both of them even if I do think my life is quickly turning into 27 dresses. I'll post pics once I get to see the ring in person! Lots of love bloggy friends!!

Back to Fay

So I made the trek back to Fay yesterday. It was sad to leave but great to be back. I went to one last breakfast at Stoby's before I headed back which was a perfect way to end my trip back in Cway. After that I finished loading up big red and headed back, I have actually managed to get unpacked and pretty much settled back in. Its so great to be back and get to see all my friends I haven't seen for 5 weeks! We all just picked right back up like it had been 5 minutes, ha. The girls (Katie, Dan, Kat, & Meag) all went to JJ's for dinner before we headed home to get ready and hit up Dickson. It was so much fun to see everybody! I felt like everyone was out last night and it was just so much fun to see all my Fayetteville friends in one place. Today me and Meag went to church before I headed to a wedding shower for another chi o, I swear it feels like everyone is getting married right now, ha. Here's a few pics of last night, love these girls!

3 Down, 87 to Go

So the goal for this year in the blogosphere was for me to blog 90 times. I've only done two so far, well this one makes 3 and I'm already struggling, ha. I refuse to start falling behind when I have no excuse so here goes. Let's see today was mostly spent trying to get organized and ready to head back to school. I start my internship on Wednesday and I am so excited/nervous/excited/nervous basically every 2 seconds my feelings change. I am really excited to get some really great experience at a place that I have been wanting to intern/work since my freshman year of college, but at the same time if you know me at all you know new things make my tummy hurt. I get so nervous when it comes to doing something new, I'm really trying to get better at not worrying and I think I've made some mild progress. I mean I was the kid who had to take mylanta for six weeks straight because kindergarten gave me separation anxiety...embarrassing, I know. I'm just ready to be three weeks into my internship and semester so I can know better what to expect and what I'm doing. To help me knock out one of the things I'm worried about my mom is going to help me try and figure out some work outfits tomorrow. I know this doesn't seem like a big deal but if I don't have to worry about creating some business outfit pre-8am the less stressed I'll be. Ok, so sorry for the ramble but that's basically all that has been on my mind for the past couple of days. The break is winding down which is always bittersweet. I am so excited to see my friends on Saturday but I'm also sad to leave home and my family.

So on to a more fun topic, this past weekend I went to a friend's wedding in Tulsa. This was my first friend/chi o wedding and it was SO MUCH fun! Dani and I stayed with Heather and she showed us around her hometown. The wedding was gorgeous and Kristen made a gorgeous bride. It was so much fun getting to catch up with all the Chi O's a year older than me who were at the wedding! All in all it was a GREAT weekend. All the pictures in this post are from the wedding reception!

A Look into 2011

So since I did my post looking back on 2010 I figure it is time to do the post looking forward to 2011. I am so excited about this year even though it has to be the first year I have no clue what-so-ever as to what to expect. I've always looked ahead into a new year knowing that I would finish the spring semester have a summer vacation back in Conway and then head back to school in the fall. Of course there were many unknowns when looking ahead, who would I hang out with, would I stay friends with all my old friends, who would become new friends, would I enjoy my classes, would I find a summer job. These thoughts were all concerns I used to have and different years other things would cross my mind as my life changed. This year I will graduate college in May, how did this happen. Everyone always told me college would go by even faster than high school but I never really believed them but its so true. I can't believe that I will be done with school in May it doesn't seem real. After graduation I have no clue what I will be doing, where or if I will find a job, who I will live with and where, but strangely these thoughts would have set me into a mini panic attack most years but this year I'm trying to just go with it. I'm currently okay with not knowing, its exciting that in a year I can reflect back on a year that my life made big changes. I'm so excited! Don't get me wrong probably in a week, or maybe even tomorrow, I'll be back on here panicking that my life is in a downward spiral with no direction, but right now I feel okay with it. There's my little spill on that, ha. Additionally, this year is the same year that I will be in my first wedding for a friend, my roommate from freshman and sophomore year Kara is getting married in August and I am so excited to get to be a part of her big day. I'm so excited for Kara and Daniel but its still strange that people my age are old enough to get married. So here's to a year full of exciting new things and events I can't even imagine. I can't wait to see what this year holds. My new year's resolution for blog world for this year is to write 90 blog posts, I wrote 45 posts in 2010 and want to double that number this year. I only have to write 2 a week and I'm hoping that this is a realistic goal. Happy SUGAR BOWL TUESDAY bloggy friends!! Woo Pig Sooie, GO HOGS GO!!!
