Dear Summer Please, Please, Please Hurry. Love Katie

Dear Summer, I need your golden rays of happiness to fill my life as soon as possible please. I need my days to consist of snow cones and work and working out and hanging out with my Conway loves. Thanks, Katie.

So that's my plea with summer, I am currently on the slow trek to the finish line of my junior year. I can't believe this year is almost over, that's sooo sooo crazy. I still feel like this should be the end of my freshman year. I am two classes, two projects, and three tests away from the finish line. In all honesty I really can't complain I don't have more than one thing due on any given day and if it wasn't for the enormity of my internship project hanging over my head I really wouldn't feel overwhelmed at all. Right now my days are pretty much just constantly spent in a state of trying to finish school work or sleeping. I'm pumped because I am done with both of my Monday, Wednesday, Friday classes so the only thing on my agenda tomorrow is work. I'm hoping that with the morning off I'll be able to go to the baseball game tomorrow night if it isn't FREEZING, which is exactly what it was all day today, unbelievably cold. Well, I guess I should get off of here so I can get back to the land of productivity. Love ya lots bloggy friends, picture post coming as soon as I do something fun enough to warrant documentation.

I LOVE Rainy Saturdays

So this post is nothing special, I feel so behind but I don't want the desire to catch up on every detail of the past month hold me back from continuing forward. That's my problem with new year's resolutions once I mess up on them I just quit, so posts about my pit stop/flat in Mobile and the gamma function will hopefully appear someday but until then I'm moving forward. This past week is a complete blur of end of the year-ness. Last weekend was formal (yet another event which I plan on blogging about someday, ha) and it was a complete and total blast. As much fun as last weekend was with formal I have to admit I've loved this Saturday filled with nothingness so much. Last night I made my debut on Dickson, which I loved. I love running into people I haven't seen in a while and that's exactly what happened last night. I ran into a ton of Cway people and a bunch of other people I hadn't seen lately. So after a late night last night I slept in today and then did some errands and just bummed out. I've caught up on some ridiculously old season of America's Next Top Model and napped and listened to the rain outside, it has been so great to catch up on some sleep and rest. Right now I am curled up in Sarah's bed, since she's out of town and has a TV in her room, watching Bride Wars. I think the best part of the rainy weekend was I didn't expect to have any free time since I was suppose to get certified again for lifeguarding, but instead I got to challenge out of all the tests on Thursday so my whole weekend completely opened up. It was such a blessing and another reason I should start listening to my mom and trusting God that things work out. I was getting so stressed out about having so much to do this weekend and then all that just completely worked itself out. My happy moment for the day was getting to show two juniors from Conway around the Chi O house. I love showing people around Chi O and I especially love showing Conway girls around. I just like to think that maybe I can help them see the other side of college that they don't show you on a campus tour, ha. Happy Rainy day blog friends!!

If I could do it again, You know I'd do it the same

My roomies for the week! Love them!

Last Night in PCB!

Round 3 of Birthdayness, Meag met up with us in Panama!

Traditional Birthday Pic part two, looovvee you!

My future roomies, so excited!!!

Panama! OMG, Spring Break 2010 was a success! We all rolled out of Conway at 4 am to head toward Panama City! There were 10 of us from Arkansas and we were meeting two girls from Rhode Island. Nick, Austin, and Matt had left the night before and headed toward Panama and us girls (Nat, Chan, Deb, Dani, Kat, Sgibs) began our mass roadtrip. About 11 hours later we eventually made it to our house. And the 11 hour drive was most definitely worth it! We had so much fun, we went out to Spinnaker's and Sharky's which was SO fun. I celebrated my birthday for at least half the trip, at which point I decided that it was time for my birthday to be over, haha. We layed out a few days and then went to Destin one day and shopped at the outlets. It was just so great to have a break from school and hang out with all my faves, loooved it! So this is probably my last catch up post and I really am hoping to blog more, last night when I couldn't sleep I was reading some of my old blog entries and I realized I would never have remembered some of that stuff if I hadn't blogged it! Love you bloggy friends!

It's Yo Birthday, well actually it was MY Birthday :)

The Bartender for the evening, thanks Jake!

Love them so much, thanks for the most fabulous 21st a girl could imagine!

The cake again!

KB & Me at Old Chicago for the 1st Drink!!

Time for the BIRTHDAY post!!! BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!!! I had the best week long celebration ever. I have the absolute best friends and family ever. On the Thursday before my birthday Schuett rode back to Conway with me and we met up with Emily and KB at Old Chicago at midnight so I could order my first legal drink! It was so much fun, nothing like a birthday cake shot to start your 21st birthday off right, ha. My actual birthday was spent running errands with Schuett and eating breakfast at my regular birthday breakfast spot, Stoby's of course. That night my parents pulled out all the stops and threw me the best birthday party I've ever had. It was so much fun. I love them so much for taking the time to put together such a great night for me and my friends. We had a seafood boil and all my friends from Fay were there and so were my faves from Conway. It was like the best of both worlds! My grandma made me a red velvet cake and my mom also ordered me a cake from Lisa's Cake Boutique. Nini's cake tasted awesome, as always but I was so excited to have a store bought cake too. The cake from Lisa's was SO cute my mom did such a great job picking out a cake that was 100% me! I loved how everything from the party was coordinating, all my friends were like at least we know now where you got your love of coordination and birthdays, ha. On top of that my sweet friends had put together the ultimate girly 21st birthday gift including tiara and nail polish! I have to say 21 was probably the best birthday so far. I can't wait to see what else this year has in store. Ps. Sorry this post was so delayed, the continued birthday celebration pics will come with the Panama post! Love ya bloggy friends!

Soooooo

Wow, I really fell off the blogging bandwagon. I hate how life gets so busy and so many of things I really try to do fall to the side. But, I promise a legit post is coming (hopefully tomorrow) about my birthday, spring break, my wonderful friends, flat tires, gamma functions, and life in general. But right now I must get my life re-organized and whatnot so I can actually get enrolled in classes for the fall and not fail out of college. Love you bloggy friends! Get pumped for the very exciting photo posts to come :)

Hometown Tour...Deep in the Heart of Texas (Well kind of)

Howdy partners! That's my best Texas greeting and actually I didn't hear a single person say that this weekend but I'm sure they do say it sometimes, not to be stereotypical. So Friday post-chicken finger we loaded up and headed to Texarkana. We obviously stopped at Sonic once we got there and then proceeded to Kat's house where her mom had some snacks for us and dinner, super yummy. We hung out there with her family until we crashed later that night. Saturday we went over to Nat's house and began our adventure into nature. Nat's dad took us out on their boat and we went down the Caddo River on the boat. It was SO much fun, it was a gorgeous day and we had a blast on the hour long boat ride. We stopped in Jefferson where we ate lunch at this biker hang out and then walked around the town. We then reloaded the boat and headed back to T-town. It was so nice to be able to be outside all day. We ate at Nat's house on Saturday and caught up on last week's Grey's. My happy moment for the day is the BEAUTIFUL weather. I love SUNSHINE!

Hometown Tour (T-Town Edition)

DISCLAIMER: Guest blogging is still to occur at some unannounced date.

DISCLAIMER 2: Sorry for not posting in so long. Between tests and work and Internet issues life's been crazy.

Regular Post:

Hey peeps! Long time no blog! Sorry about that (see disclaimer above). So I am so excited this weekend we are road tripping to Texarkana, TX. After our trip to Conway last semester for the Little Rock game (which we didn't make it to) we decided we should really do a hometown tour of everyone's hometowns. So this weekend we are heading to Texarkana to see Natalie and K. Ward's hometown :) I can't wait I just love seeing where people are from. Plus, pretty much everyone is going which is pretty stinking exciting since I don't think all of us have been together in what feels like forever. So on Friday Sgibs, Nat, Kat, Chan, Dan, and I are all loading up and heading down to kick it in T-Town. I'll definitely do a post after the weekend to let you know how it goes. On another note, last weekend was Mom's weekend and my mom came up which was a blast. I love Mom's weekend! I have to admit I broke off the Panama plan when mom and I discovered how yummy Bliss cupcakes our. Bliss is located on the square and since we had to be down there for Greek Sing (which was wonderful, btw) we just had to stop in and get some. I love cupcakes they are just so HAPPY! My happy moment for today is that I am pretty much free from here on out which is exciting and my happy moment for the past couple days is that even though my car is in the shop (Big Red was sick) my sweet friends have been so kind to tote me around. Hope everyone has a happy Thursday and expect a picture post/update on the weekend soon.
