The day continues on..
I get a call back from my holiday job and I get to start immediately while I'm home. woop woop! And with my homework done, I had time to finger paint, and read and take a nap all before noon and before work! Yay!! I only had to work like two hours today so that was great, and I got to get my errands done. Not only did I get my errands completed, but M.Loft came with me for Menchies. AKA the best frozen yogurt around Knoxville. And it was two punch tuesday so my next ice cream is free, no I don't go that much. Don't judge ;)
Hope everyone is having a fabulous Tuesday!!

Pumpkin Party

Well the weekend was a success! Saturday was spent doing some homework and working. Spent most of my Saturday night talking to the beau, I sure do miss him, but not for long as I'll be headed back home on Friday!! Yesterday was absolutely pleasant. The services yesterday morning were so blessing and powerful. God definitely was pouring right on into me. After church I met with my sweet friend S, to work on our BCMB paper. Yuck! But since our other BCMB friends went with us and we did all our work at Panera, the afternoon was alright. I had the best salad, BBQ chopped along with creamy tomato soup, yum! Thankfully all our work was done by mid-afternoon and I was able to head back to campus to work on some more school work. My community group from church had the nursery last night, so we watched the one-year olds. They are just too sweet! I love there little happy faces. After nursery we headed over to another member of groups home for a little fall party. We ate delicious apple crisp, pumpkin bread budding, kettle corn, and cinnamon fluff. It was so so so yummy. We carved our pumpkins after. I got just a little baby pumpkin, as keeping a large pumpkin in my dorm room would not be practical. I was unsure how to carve it at first since it was so small, and something intricate couldn't be done. So I opted for just my monogramm.



I was very happy with how it turned out and had such a wonderful time. Now to go home and carve one with the beau, eek so excited for the weekend!

Happy Monday ya'll!

Square Dance


Okay so quick apology for being gone all week long. I had a major physiology essay test Thursday night and was completely stressed out about it. After a few small breakdowns, and one major breakdown that involved a call to daddy, I was okay and feel pretty good about it.


But moving on to last night. It twas the capper to my horrible stressful week. Our church put on a square dance last night at this beautiful pavilion and it was so much fun! I've never square danced before so I had no idea what to expect, but I am absolutely in love. I wore the cutest little plaid/flannel dress,some brown tights (the dress was super short), my BCBG cowboy boots, my pearls, and of course I needed J. Crew, so I threw in my sparkly brown headband. Needless to say I got many compliments, and that just added to my wonderful stress-free day. Well, we had a caller and doce doed. My first partner, J.Harris was amazing. I was a little clueless but he promenaded me around like the true souther gentleman he was. We were the best partners out of our square hands down. ha! After the dance it was a little chilly, so me and my friend Weezy headed for some starbucks pumpkin spice lattes and home for the night. It was sort of an early night, but I got to spend it talking to the beau. After such a stressful week I'm glad he puts up with me. Now I can't wait for next years square dance!

Sunday luncheons

Today was a sad day, as I had to return back to school after an amazing break, but not before church and lunch. The beau picked me up before church this morning. Only come to find out my sunday school class wasn't meeting due to the fact they all had traveled down to Myrtle Beach for the weekend. This just gave me and franny an excuse to drive around a little and dish out all the gossip we had built up. Church was amazing this morning. The sermon was on why heaven may be silent and it really reached home. After church myself, the beau's family, and franny's family headed over to a favorite mexican restaurant Los Arcos. I love chips and queso!! Lunch was entertaining as always. It made me realize how lucky I am to be surrounded by such great and loving people. After lunch the beau had to bring me home. But not before driving me through my neighborhood. He's the sweetest. He drove extra slow so I could take it in before leaving for school. And not only did he do that, but I managed to convince him to stay over for an extra 30 minutes, even though he has more than enough work to last 5 hours. Like seriously. This evening I headed back to school and it took over an hour to unpack. I really need to quit bringing so much back to school. I don't even have enough space for my winter/fall wardrobe! So saddening, and the fact my closet at home is completely bare! Well I'm almost through all my studies tonight. After finally looking everything over my list wasn't as daunting as I thought it would be, which is very nice. Only got to make it through October and all the hard stuff will be behind me. Shew! And only eleven days till I'm home again & watching Chris Tomlin! Soooo excited! Happy Sunday everyone!!


Me with his glasses. I love being nerdy.

Country Roads

Today was the cherry to the sundae. No joke. Started off a little shaky this morning, but hey, not everything is perfect. And if I didn't have to sail through the storms, I wouldn't be able to enjoy the calm. Anywho, we departed early this morning for Boone, North Carolina. The drive to and from was beautiful. I love the changing of fall. The leaves in North Carolina are magnificent, no seriously. I always make it a point to go to North Carolina during October because of the leaves. Well, we got to Boone around lunch time. Both of us had forgotten it was a game day at Appy state, homecoming nonetheless, oopsie! But made it over to the shopping outlets in Blowing Rock safely. Did some shopping, and met up with my best friend, Franny. Love her to bits. Then we headed over to Panera, love their baked potato soup, and did some browsing in TJ Maxx before we headed to the original Mast General Store. So of course the mountains are gorgeous and I made the beau take some photos, before my camera battery exhausted.

We managed to get some candy from the candy store before leaving. Lets just say the beau was very excited about his gummy worms. Along the drive home we stopped at some places, including the lake for more photo-ops. Overall we had a fantastic day and I can't wait to be back home for another visit.

Just for laughs

Today was just a funny day all around. This morning mom and I did some light shopping. We hit up Dick's, Michael's, Ulta, and Books-A-Million. So happy that I finally purchased my copy of True Prep.

And after spending a few minutes perusing the nail polish selection at Ulta we finally settled on Chubby Cheeks, and Honey Bun. The College Prepster posted recently about Chubby Cheeks and I thought I'd try it out, and I absolutely love it! It's the perfect shade for fall, since I normally go for the bright pinks this was perfect! After some shopping we met up with dad for a little more. And then the beau joined us this evening for dinner at my favorite, Cheddars, and to see Jeff Dunham. Now, I have never seen Jeff Dunham in person before and I was laughing so hard I was in tears. My sides were hurting. Please go look him up on Youtube if you have not already. His skit with Walter is my personal favorite. It was such a great evening with my parents and beau and we highly enjoyed the show. I believe everyone needs a good side splitting laugh every now and then. Usually if I'm down and need a laugh I turn to my Dane Cook playlist, but now I will be searching Youtube for Jeff Dunham videos. Haha! Well goodnight all!
