Where I've Been & Where I'm Going...

Hey Bloggy friends!! So its been a while since an update, whoops. So what have I been up to the past month. Well let's see, I have been LOVING life. I seriously could not imagine a better school schedule. I love, love, love my classes. And in terms of how I'm spending my free time I have discovered I really love spin classes at Clubhaus and I've also rediscovered how much fun it is to hang out with my friends and not spend every waking moment studying or at a group meeting. Oh and did I mention how much I love football season, because I do. Pretty much life is great currently. I'm working on remembering that everyday in the moments that seem less than ideal. I have such a blessed life and I feel as if I have not been appreciative of that near as much as I should be so that has been my goal lately, I have been trying to see God's blessings in my life a little more each day. I definitely still struggle with it but I'm really trying to stop and notice the little things that I usually let pass me by without saying thanks for.

So as far as where I've been let's see...

I've been Two Steppin' at Yippie Chi O, Dylan and I had a repeat of sophomore year and had a blast.

I've been getting in touch with my inner jersey girl with the besties at The Shore function

I've been calling those Hogs in Fayetteville & Little Rock


& Now Where I'm Going....

This Weekend we are headed to

That's right the crew is loading up and we are headed to Dallas to do what we do best and CALL THOSE HOGS!! Wooo Pig Sooie!!

Well, I guess I'll wrap up this post. My happy moment for today was getting mail from my mom and grandma. I love getting mail and the card from my mom had the coolest quote that I'll have to post on here some other time :) Night night bloggy friends!

Let's Call Those Hogs...

Wooo Pig Sooie!!! I am so excited that today is the first day of Arkansas Football!! Ahhh, I just can't wait. I love football season. My parents will be up in a few hours to tailgate and I can't wait to see them and hang out before the game. Since football and tailgating is all thats on my mind right now I figured I could post the best football season pics from 09! Go Hogs!!!

I LOVE my Friends!

So I feel like I can't say it enough just how much I love my friends, they are the absolute best. The past couple days I have had a chance to hang out and catch up with some of my "old" friends from back home. The other day Dylan came over to catch up since I haven't really seen him since he made it back from his summer at sea. He brought me back some of the coolest stuff and I have to admit I'm kind of obsessed with the owl he brought me back from Greece! Its so pretty! It was so good to get to just catch up with him like we used to do all the time freshman year when we just lived a couple floors apart. Then last night Meagan came by after she got done with StuMo to see the house and hangout. I just can't even imagine my life without her. We've known each other since we were in preschool and went to the same church since we were babies but didn't get really close till 7th grade. I'm so thankful we had class together that year and managed to become such good friends. She has seen it all and I know I can't always count on her for a sonic run and some quality catch up. Then this afternoon I got to spend with Kara doing what we do best, shopping, except apparently today was not our lucky day. We were hoping to find something to wear to the first game and struck out completely and we checked every store in Fayetteville we could think of. Then to top the day off Katie B. called me to catch up. KB goes to school at UCA and trotting all about Europe when I headed back to Fay at the end of the summer so it was so great to catch up on each other's lives. KB graduated from Conway the same year I did but she was a cheerleader and I was on dance team and that pretty much halted any friendship chances with the way dance and cheer worked, but then post grad we ended up lifeguarding together for three summers until she left me to do my farewell tour at CVCC by myself, ha. She's so funny and I'm super pumped for a chance to hangout with her the next time I'm back in Cway. I feel so sad for people who say they don't have any friends still from high school. I guess God just really blessed me with people in high school who would stay apart of my life through college. I love my "new" friends and can't imagine my life without them but I would be devastated if I wasn't still friends with my "old" friends too. So pretty much my happy moment for the day was my phone date with KB because I wasn't expecting it at all but it definitely put a smile on my face. Hope you all have had a great Wednesday. Get excited the weekend is coming up which means its time for some Razorback Football!!!

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!
