Christmas Tree Lighting!

Last night at 10:30 (WAYYYY past my bedtime), the Speechies hosted the Christmas Tree Lighting in the middle of campus. It was a lot of fun! There was hot chocolate, Christmas music and amazing people! :)
This is a picture of our gorgeous 13ft Christmas tree!
This is Callie M., Me, Morgan, Jessie and Maranda
This is Callie T., Carla, Me, Carol, Jessie, and Annie.
This is "as happy as Carol is going to be at 10:30 at night." As said by Carol. (:
This is my lovely roommate and myself! We love each other! Ha ha :)
As I was getting ready to leave, I stumbled upon my lovely cousin Molly Anne who was gracious enough to stop by after Refuge. I love her. (:
This is my daddy and me! (: He was so nice to come all the way back to campus just to turn on the Christmas lights for everyone!
This is our Speechie group picture! There are a few people missing and Nancy wasn't really ready for this one but it's still cute! :)
Our Christmas Tree Lighting was an overall success! && I can't wait to do it again next year! (:

Thanksgiving!! :)

In my last post, I talked about how I went to Colorado and spent Thanksgiving with Matt and his family! :) Well, his mom sent me some of the pictures that were taken while I was there. This is the most recent picture of my boyfriend and I :) && I must say.....we're pretty cute! :)

Forgot this update!! :)

Two weekends ago, my dad and I went hunting and I got these two 8-points within about 30 minutes of eachother! :)

Sorry :/

Okayy, I know I've been horrible about updating but I'm trying to get better about it, I really am!!! Anywho, there hasn't been a whole lot going on since the last time I updated. Last Saturday, I went to Colorado to spend Thanksgiving with Matt. It was so much fun!! :) On Sunday, Luke, Laura, Matt and I all went out to dinner at Olive Garden. It was a lot of fun! I really like Laura && it's nice to have a girl around sometimes! ;) On Monday, Matt and I went to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part I. It was SSSOOOOOO good!!!! I love Harry Potter and I don't want to have to wait until the next movie comes out!!!! :) Tuesday was a lazy day. We just laid around the house and watched tv/movies. It wasn't anything too exciting but we always have fun. :) On Wednesday, Matt's grandparents came in to town for the holiday. We all went to dinner (Laura joined in the festivities as well) at Pasta Jay's. Pasta Jay's is a really nice Italian restaurant in Denver and I ate entirely too much food but it was all SSSOOO good! Thursday was Thanksgiving and we spent the whole day at the house just cooking, hanging out and getting stuff ready. It was a lot of fun to be with his whole family and meet everyone and see how they celebrate things. It was really different from the way my family celebrates things but I really enjoyed it. Friday was the day I had to come home, unfortunately. :( We woke up early, around 7:30 and got dressed, etc. Then he took me to breakfast :) && then we went back to the house and watched a movie and some TV and then his mom came home and made us some lunch. And then it was time to leave. :(
I had a GREAT Thanksgiving and I wasn't ready to leave what so ever. BUT, when I got home, my precious little baby niece was at my house which made everything so much better.
Today has been a boring day. It has been a lay around the house in your PJ's all day and eat while not doing anything productive day and it has been marvelous. :)
That's all I have to update with at the moment!

Lately...

I haven't updated in a while so here we go....
A few weeks ago was homecoming/Tiger Tunes weekend! Emilee, Brooke, Annie and Becker all came down to partake in the festivities! :)
This is me, Annie, Becker, Brooke and Emilee at the pre-game festivities in front of the brand spankin new tiger (with a tail and fixed teeth) and it was lookin good! :)
Here is the tiger!
Mackenzie was here with us for that weekend and momma Nan took her around the pre-game festivities to meet and greet everyone and by the time the game was about to start, she was flat out exhausted.
Anywho, blah blah blah. For Halloween this year, Mackenzie was a chilli pepper and she was PRECIOUS!!!! :)
I made the highest grade on my last history test!!!!!!! :)
At our Speechie pond party, there was a costume contest and the 2nd place group got this...it's a giant marshmallow brain....that weighed about 20lbs no lie.
Friday night, I went on a cousin date with Lauren. Before we left for Little Rock, I had to stop by my moms office and LOOK WHO WAS THERE!!!!! My long lost love, Grant! :)
Anywho, that's all the update I have for now. Well, that's all that I can update on here anyway! :) I'll be back with more when the time comes!!!

I GOT A NEW CAR!!!!!!!!!

I GOT A NEW CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

UPDATE!

A while back, Mackenzie attended her first OBU game with me! :) However, I didn't have all of the pictures from that game considering they were on Molly Anne's camera! :/ BUT I have them now! So here they are! :)
This is Molly Anne and I. She's my mini-me. And I aspire to have her hair. I still have a ways to go.
This is me, Molly Anne and Mackenzie during half time! :)
This is Molly Anne and Mackenzie during half time! :)
Okay, that's all that I have! :)

Battle of the Sexes

This past Saturday night, six of us went to Hot Springs for a bowling night!!! :)
We went to dinner at Olive Garden and then we all headed to the bowling alley for not just bowling...but cosmic bowling. Which makes it 20 times better.
We had 3 boys (Beau, Trevor and Kyle) and 3 girls (me, Maranda, and Alyssa). The guys were being a little cocky about the whole thing so we decided to split in to two teams and have a boys against girls competition. (which the girls one thanks to my roommate who is a great bowler. who knew??).
This is Kyle, who was freaking amazing at bowling and he made me really mad. lol
This is Maranda, me and Alyssa before cosmic bowling/competition began.
Now my bowling abilities are somewhat unique. When I bowl correctly, it's a gutter ball every time. No matter what. However, when I walk/run and then throw the ball between my legs (from behind), it's a spare/strike almost every time. Not real sure how that works but whatever. So anyway, I was bowling between my legs and my toe hit the lane right when I released the ball and I slipped, fell FLAT on my back and still got a spare. Yeah, my skills are that legit. Anywho, after the fall, I decided to change up my bowling form to this:
This is Beau and me during cosmic bowling. I was fraternizing with the enemy. He's my boo though so it's okay.
This is Kyle and me. I'm his diamond doll. Isn't he just absolutely PRECIOUS?!?!?! :)
This is me and my lovely roommate Maranda! :) I love her!
The evening was interesting and it was so great to take a break from school and stress and just have fun. And I do believe we will be doing this more often. It was amazing. :)

The Perfect Day! (:

Last Wednesday, I went to Colorado for fall break and it was so much fun!! (:
On Thursday, Angie, Chris and I went out for the day while Matt was in class. We went and had an AMAZING lunch in Old Town in Ft. Collins and then we went to a pumpkin patch because we wanted to carve pumpkins! (:
The pumpkin patch was so neat! It was a little bit of a drive to get there but it was definitely worth it! Angie was the only one who had done a corn maze, so luckily, Chris and I got to experience one as well. The workers told us that the "Stalker" maze should only take about 20-25 minutes. We were pretty confident in making it through the whole thing in under 20.
It started out fairly easy, and we started to get a little cocky. Then, we realized we were really lost and were going to be there for more that 20-25 minutes! :/
After we completed our corn maze and picked out some freaking awesome pumpkins, we headed back to the house to begin carving! (: This is Angie and Chris:
This is Angie and I! (:
Me, Angie and Kristin were pretty much the only ones that were like REALLY excited about carving! (:
This is Matt and I (: He came out there and watched me carve my pumpkin, but didn't participate and carve his own unfortunately :/ I guess you could say he helped me carve mine by providing me with moral support! (:

This is my marvelous carving job! :) There are stars that go all the way around the pumpkin...it took me FOREVER to carve!!
Thursday night, we all went back to the pumpkin patch and went to the haunted corn maze. It really was so scary! It was so much fun though! (:
Saturday morning, Matt, Luke, Mr. Mueller, and I all headed down to Colorado Springs to watch the Air Force vs. Colorado State game. It was so much fun! Matt's best friend Mike attends the academy so it was neat getting to hang out with him and get the low down on everything! Air Force pretty much murdered CSU btw. The game was ugly :/
Sunday morning, Matt drove me to the airport and I headed back home! :(
Fall break was so much fun and VERY much needed! (:

Charlie Daniels Band (:

Last night, Me, Trevor, Beau and Seth all decided to skip out on the OBU football game (which turned out to be pretty good and a victory) and go to Hot Springs to the Balloon Rally. It wasn't just a balloon rally though...it was also a CHARLIE DANIELS BAND CONCERT!!!!!!! && it was SO MUCH FUN!!!
This is Me, Trevor, Beau and Seth
At dark, they have the balloon lighting and it is SO PRETTY!!!!!!!!!
And the balloons are just really cool!
And I want to ride in one really badly....
Charlie Daniels is without a doubt one of the best live performers I've ever seen! :)
Well, last night was so much fun!!!! And that's all I have to update on! Time to do my homework....blahhhhhhhhhh

GLEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, so, I just watched GLEE and literally, my life is now complete. I was so stressed earlier about how much I have to do this week but now all my stress and worry is gone so I highly recommend watching GLEE for all of you that feel stressed. Be cautious though! Because watching GLEE will cost you some money...because you will want to go on iTunes and buy the music...which I just did and spent about $8. :/
ANYWHO! Next week is going to be epic...it's the.....
BRITNEY SPEARS EPISODE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, tune in next Tuesday at 7:00 for another GLEE update...and maybe even more updates this week! WHO KNOWS! (:

GLEE!!!!!!!!!!!

THE NEW SEASON OF GLEE CAME ON TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and my life is now complete.

UPDATE! AGH!!!!

I'm sorry that I haven't updated in quite some time now! But to be completely honest, there hasn't been anything to update you on! :/ I've actually even debated just updating on whatever I'm studying at the time since that seems to be all that I do with my life these days!!
Anywho, last Thursday, Erin and Mackenzie came in to town!!!!! It was so much fun! I just love that baby so much! :) On Saturday, Mackenzie got to attend her first OBU football game!!! She was the cutest thing there in her OBU football jersey with HOGUE on the back, her precious little self and then me, her amazing aunt of course! :)
This is Mackenzie and I at the game! And it's probably one of my favorite pictures!!!
In honor of her father, Mackenzie took a picture with OBU safety, with whom David was quite familiar with when he was in school from what I've heard!
Mackenzie and her Papa were too cute together too! John wasn't completely ready for this picture but it's still adorable!! :)Anywho, the weekend was too much fun and I absolutely love having Erin and Mackenzie around! :)
I shall update next time something exciting happens...which hopefully will be sometime soon!!!!

TWIRP

This past week was TWIRP week which stands for "The Woman Is Required to Pay." Every year, the students at OBU participate in a week of Sadie Hawkins-like activities where the girls ask a guy to the different nights and they're required to pay for it. There's 50's night, 80's night, Barn Bash, Harvest Moon, Cajun Night and even Movie Night. Since I'm such a socialite, I participated in only Movie Night..and to make it more pathetic, it was my first time to participate in TWIRP and yes, I am a junior. Ha ha
Anywho, Sunday night was Movie Night and CAB presented Toy Story 3. Now, I've never been a real big Toy Story fan but I thought, hey! What could it hurt? IT WAS AMAZING. I want to watch it again. And I highly recommend it to everyone!!!!!
This is me and my #1 date Nicholas. Just to clarify, everyone else there but him and Brooks were in sweats (NOT suits). I just want you all to know I didn't ridiculously dress down or anything!
Brooks needed a date and I was feeling generous, so I got two dates for the evening and they sure were lookers! (:
My lovely roommate and her date (my baseball player) Kyle. (:
The night was an overall success and I will most likely participate in it again next year...but that's just a guess. We'll have to wait and see.
I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while...it just hasn't been all that exciting around here! It's okay though, I'm sure something will be going on soon to update on! (:
