Busy, Busy
I have less than two weeks left of school and I am SWAMPED with schoolwork right now! I haven't had time to make a post about my Thanksgiving, but I will try to have it up soon. I have a busy weekend, and an even busier week ahead of me. Keep me in your prayers as this is a VERY stressful time of the semester! :) Anyway, more to come SOON!

THE BOARD
I just said that my last blog was a “teaser” and alluded to the fact that there would be more to come… BUT when I think about it, there really isn’t too much else to tell! Really the only major event that has happened here in the last few days that I didn’t talk about was Homecoming. Really, it wasn’t that exciting and I don’t want to waste my time explaining all of the homecoming activities when they were pretty boring! :)
Here are a couple of pictures from our board. The one with Kirby in it is her showing off her “Poo of the Week” trophy. Every week at our Pi meetings we nominate people for “Poo of the Week” for some silly/stupid/funny thing that they did that week. Jessica and I nominated Kirby for crying over running over a squirrel. SO she is posing by the “Squirrel Killer” picture that we so kindly made for her! :)
The whole board...
Ursula
Kirby with her trophy...
Well that is all I have for now!

Growing Addiction
Wow it has been a long time since I have posted! Sorry! Unfortunately, this is just a teaser. :) I don't have updates on everything right now, but I am working on it! Things have been pretty busy around here lately. Surprisingly, the semester is quickly coming to an end so my classes are hitting me pretty hard with papers and tests and assignments all due at once! So anyway, I haven't forgotten about all of my blogger fans (all five of you!!!). Hopefully I'll have an update up soon!
For now, here is a lovely picture for you all. Kirby and Jessica were taking a bunch of pictures tonight and I got caught in one! It is my "Ingrid pose". (refer to a previous post where I have a picture of Ingrid Michaelson)
I just realized that since I changed my blog layout, all of my pictures have been in black and white! It's not a setting on the layout. My digital camera stopped working?! I need to take it somewhere and see if they can fix it... ANYWAY, so all of my recent pictures have been from Jessica's camera and she likes to use the black and white setting... that's all.
OK well, it is after 1:00am so I am going to bed! Goodnight everyone!

Behind me is our infamous "board" in our apartment. It is a really tall poster board that we draw on and put random things on that make us laugh. The note to Jessica was from something that we heard somewhere, and the squirrel picture was from Jessica and I teasing Kirby about running over a squirrel, the burrito was cut out from a Moe's coupon because.... well, I just really like Moe's. Anyway, it is a really random board but its fun for us to keep adding to! Maybe I can get a picture of it for my next big update! :)

Pi Banquet
Well as you can tell, I have a new layout for my blog. I really like the old one, but there were some settings with the pictures that I didn’t like. If you read Jason and Summer’s blog, you’ve noticed that you can click on their pictures and view a larger picture. (Well maybe you have… mom didn’t know that until a couple of weeks ago… :))Anyway, you couldn’t do that with mine on the old layout. You can now though! So click away… :)
As I mentioned before, Pi banquet was this weekend. Matt came in on Friday to spend the weekend with me and to be my date for banquet! I’ll try to give a fairly short recap of the weekend (sometimes I get carried away though! :)).
The theme for banquet was 1920’s – 1940’s. For a while I was really excited about the theme and wanted to find the perfect outfit to wear. However, after searching for a while and having no luck, I finally decided to just get a nice dress to wear. It took quite a bit of searching even to find a dress that I liked (and that was in my stingy price range!) but I finally found one! It is just a plain black dress, but it’s a really cute one! It turned out to be just fine for banquet, and its one that I can wear again for other events!
I mentioned before in a previous post that I had my first Waffle House experience when Matt was here earlier in the semester. Well, we went again! I almost hate to admit it, just because of my previous notions of the cleanliness and quality of Waffle House, but it is SO GOOD! I had them add pecans to my waffle so it was even better. Jill, I think you were the first person to ever put pecans in my waffle :) - you got me hooked! Anyway, after we ate we went and saw the movie “Dan in Real Life”. Steve Carell is in that movie and he is hilarious! He is such a funny guy but most of his movies are pretty filthy. Lately, though, it seems like he has been doing more family friendly movies. He was also in the movie “Evan Almighty”. Anyway, Matt and I both really enjoyed the movie. I would recommend it!
On Saturday Matt and I went to the mall. I think we originally went to look for me some new dress shoes, but that didn’t last long. If you’ve ever been shopping with me, you know that I get tired of shopping REAL QUICK… especially when its for shoes! I didn’t find anything I liked in the first two stores so I basically gave up! Haha! :) I didn’t want our trip to be completely useless though so I told Matt that I would buy him a new dress shirt for banquet. We looked a few places but eventually ended up at JC Penny. We found a table that had dress shirts on sale for $17. I picked out one and Matt picked out one and we couldn’t decide which we liked better. I finally decided on the grey one (the one that I picked out!). :) BUT, we liked both shirts so much that Matt decided he would go ahead and buy the other one as well. We went up to the register to check out and my shirt rang up for $6! I think the woman checking us out thought that we were crazy because when I saw the price I said, “WOAH! SIX DOLLARS! AWESOME!” and Matt stood behind me and yelled, “HOT DOG!” Haha! We were surprised though because we knew the table said they were $17! Well then Matt got up there with his shirt and his rang up for $17! Haha! I felt bad because I was the one who told him I would buy him a shirt, then he actually spent more! In my defense, I DID offer to pay for that one too but he wouldn’t let me. :) He wore the one that I picked out to banquet that night and it looked very nice!
We left Saturday evening to go to banquet! We went to Remington Park here in Edmond. It is a horse racing facility and a casino. OF COURSE, we only saw the horse races. :) We got there and everyone just kind of hung out and visited for a while until dinner. We were in a suite that was really nice. There were TV screens everywhere inside so you could watch the races (or college football…) from inside. There was also a big balcony that came out from our suite so you could walk out and watch the races. It was really cool! Dinner was amazing but there was sooo much food! I had half a chicken on my plate… literally! It was very good food though. While we were eating we got these papers where we could write down the horse that we thought would win for four different races then whoever had the best card won a prize. I surely didn’t win, and I wasn’t there when they announced the winner… but it wasn’t me, so I don’t care. :) Later in the evening a few of us walked down to the track and stood down there to watch a race. After standing down there in the cold for a little while we decided it was time to go! It was pretty late by the time we got back so we all went to bed shortly afterwards. Here are my pictures from the evening!
A picture by the track WITHOUT a horse's rear end... :)
I'm not sure what was going on in this picture!
Awww.... :)
Doesn't that dress shirt look nice? :)
Hanging out on the balcony...
By the track again...
After church this morning Matt and I saw the animated movie, “Bee Movie”. It was a cute movie! The best part was listening to all of the kids in the theater laughing. It was a lot of fun. Since Matt has a long drive from OC back to Athens, he left after the movie! I think it takes him around five hours! I’m glad he’s willing to make the drive sometimes though! :) We had another fun weekend together.

Down by the track. We were trying to get the horse in the background as it was walking by, but we only got his rear end!

Now back to OC events. We had a volleyball game tonight. I think that I am now, for sure, on B team! There was some confusion for a while whether I would be on A or B team, but I think we finally got it figured out! I am glad I’m on B team – it is much more on my level! We played really well tonight and came out with a win! This week at OC is Homecoming week so I’m sure its going to be busy! I’ll try to keep y’all updated!
