Wow!

It sure has been a while. Months to be specific. I wouldn't even know where to start if I tried to catch up, but a few of the major events in my life include, but are not limited to:

My 19th Birthday!

Going to my first Razorback Baseball Game!

With beautiful skies

And my awesome roomie!

Witnessing a major fire at my neighbor's house

Witnessing the biggest snow of my life!

(Accompanied with somewhere around EIGHT (8) snow days!)

Watching Marley cut 10 inches off of her hair

Meeting the cast of The Buried Life!

Here I am with my signed poster!

(I also got about 6-7 inches cut off of my hair the day after my birthday)

I helped Allie celebrate her 21st!

AND I cut Connor's hair! 

That's pretty much a brief recap, things have been fun. Oh, one last thing. I broke my phone on Thursday, and my mom bought me an iPhone to replace it on Monday because I didn't know what I was going to do. And I am very thankful. She's the best!!

I made some changes..

I was kind of bored with the other look, and since I'm yet to get a response from someone about getting a layout, we're stuck with this for now. I changed the colors up a bit to ones that I like better.
As for as new stuff...I've been taking finals like a mad woman. I've had 4 so far. One on Thursday, two on Friday, and one this morning. My last one can be taken at anytime on Monday in the Math Testing Center. Sounds scary. I'm horrible at math. I will be so glad when that is over, and I can go home with (almost) no worries for 5 weeks. Woohoo! I can't really think of anything new, so I guess this will be it for now. Sorry I've been kind of absent; I either have nothing to blog about or I'm just an incredibly boring person. 


I feel as if this quote is somewhat appropriate for today. Don't ask why.

Thanksgiving!

Well, Thanksgiving was awesome, of course. Lots of food, family, and fun! I got to see both of my great-grandmothers, and they were so sweet and cute! First, we went to my mother's maternal grandmother's (if that makes any sense) that lives in Hackett. She is 90 years old and cooked a full Thanksgiving dinner, and it was so good. She has lots of dogs, and my brother always loves playing with them. Some are better behaved than others. Haha! We also got to learn a few interesting things about her life while we were there. I love hearing from  her.

Then we went to a friend of my great-aunt and uncle's that helps them with placing college foreign exchange students. They were the sweetest and most friendly hosts ever! They were so nice to share their home with all of us. That's 11 of us just counting my grandpa and step-grandma, mom and aunt, and all the kids. They must have been slightly crazy! But everyone behaved fairly well considering the circumstances, and they had a beautiful house. There was also lots of great food there, and I ate way too much! However, I more than burned it off the next day working at Old Navy. Yikes! Talk about a madhouse. But I survived the longest 9 hours of my life! 

Sorry, no pictures! :( I'll try to take more.

Finally...

The week(end) before last was very busy, but so much fun! As you know, Friday at midnight was the premiere of the 7th Harry Potter movie. I can't wait to get started reading them, which I need to make happen soon if I'm going to be done in time. Then on Saturday, we went to see Spamalot! It was an awesome musical. Probably one of the best (of the few) that I've seen. It had some possibly "offensive" parts in it, but I loved it so much. And I want to thank my awesome roommate, Marley, again for getting the tickets for the five of us to go. That would be Me, Marley, Dylan, James, and Zach W. 

I have a couple of pictures from that night, too.

Marley and I..she's wearing a scarf AND a cardigan. I've never been more proud ;)

(and it looks like she's becoming a mini-me)

Oh how I love candid pictures!

Marley and I again

Zach and Marley :)

Then on Sunday, we (we being James and myself) got to join Marley at her family Thanksgiving dinner. There was lots of great food and nice people. And her little cousins were so cute! I didn't take any pictures though! I need to get better about that. Anyway, that was a great weekend, and next I'll post about Thanksgiving.

Oh! And I almost forgot! One of the funniest things ever happened after Spamalot. After we dropped Dylan off at his cousins', we did a lip-sync/dance thing to the Spice Girls' "If You Wanna Be My Lover." What all of us loved the most was that Marley actually did it (reluctantly), and she did such a good job, and we were all very proud of her! Hehe! I've got to get a hold of that video! We recorded it via webcam on James's Mac.
