You too are so much fun and have always make me laugh so hard! And Kathryn and Lauren, you better not get married and forget all about me...seriously. I love you all and am really going to miss yall and our time together next year!

Pansy Breakfast

Two weekends ago we had our last parents weekend at Auburn. On Friday night we ate a barbeque dinner at Keasal Park. Saturday morning we had annual Mother Daughter Tea at Sigma Chi. Then we ended the weekend Sunday morning with the senior Pansy Breakfast at the Grand National Hotel at the Robert Trent Jones golfcourse. Here are some pictures from the TriDelt Pansy Breakfast:

Engagements and Parties

The second highlight of the semester consists of a couple of my friends engagements. My roommate, Kaylan Campbell got engaged. My friend from highschool and sorority sister, Kathryn Green is now engaged. We have also been busy with parties for Lauren Leach, Cameron Flowers, and Lauren Keasal who are getting married this summer! We like to have parties so this gives us more reasons to celebrate together. Here are some pictures:

Vail, Colorado

It's been a long time since I've been able to post so I will just try to hit the highlights of the semester. The first highlight would definitely be Spring Break. I flew to Vail, Colorado for some incredible skiing with Meg, Jessica, and her mom. The weather was amazing, the skiing was amazing, and so was the company and everyone we met. Thankfully there wasn't any serious injuries just severe windburn and some bumps and bruises from practicing moguls for the first time. While we were there, Meg and I decided to challenge ourselves as much as possible, one time even on accident. One thing you need to understand first is that Vail is insanely huge. You can ski for weeks and go down a new slope everytime down the mountain. The bad part about this is how confusing it is to navigate around. One day Meg and I thought we were going down a blue but somehow managed to find ourselves facing a double black diamond with a sign that read "Caution: Extreme Terrain. Experts only." Once we skied down and read this sign it was far too late to turn around so we decided the only way out was down. You see this slope was not a normal run, it was a dropoff. From our point of view it looked like we were on top of a cliff with no way out. So I decided that I would ski as far left as I could so that I wouldn't fall off the cliff and Meg decided there WAS a way out so she went the opposite direction and I had no idea. As I concentrated on traversing accross the mountain (thinking Meg was behind me) I turned to look back and Meg was nowhere to be found. I yelled her name and no response. It was now me and the mountain and Meg wherever she was. I gained some convidence and decided to try to ski straight down and yes I then busted, lost a ski and somehow ate some snow. Once I got my skis situated I proceded down the rest of the mountain like a pro. When I found the bottom of the mountain I pulled out my phone to call Meg and with relief 2 seconds later spotted her up ahead (little did I know she just had an adventure of her own- almost making it to the bottom of the mountain until she flew off of an unexpected jump at the end and busted and then being landed on top of by a man). Although that may sound a little intense it was such an awesome trip! Hopefully I can go back sometime real soon (hint, hint Mom and Dad).

Jim Gaffigan

This guy is hysterical. This is just one of his many standups that I think are soo funny and this one is dedicated to Care.

Watercolor Kick

I just got on a watercolor kick this weekend. Here's some stuff I painted. Courtney, if you didnt give it up you could probably be as cool as me.

Valentines Day

Who needs a Valentine when you have your best friends around on Valentines Day? My mom has always told me that Valentines Day is just a way for people to make money selling stuffed animals, cards, and candy...and I think I agree. So this Valentines I spent my night with some of my favorite people: Caroline, Meg, and Caitlin. We set the table and enjoyed some homemade pizza, beer, and Leonardo Dicaprio (in Titanic). These are the types of nights that I am really going to miss next year. Hopefully we can have plenty more before we graduate!

I think I could

I think I could possibly or most definitely live somewhere where it snows like every other day at some point in my life. I absolutely love snow! It just makes my year when it snows. I love everything about it. I love that you can turn it into icecream. I love that you can throw it at people. I love how it cancels school. I love how it allows you to act like you are 10 years old again. I love how you can shape it into a person. And I just love the way it covers anything and makes it automatically beautiful! It snowed in Auburn for the second year in a row today and it was a complete blast. We woke up at about 10:00 and watched it fall through the window until it completely covered the ground and then bundled up and drove to Samford Lawn to join the rest of Auburn. Here are some pictures I took with my roommates Caroline and Meg!
