Stevenson/Hays Reception

In a last minute frenzy, I ended up photographing this reception.  Loved the colors! Also: yogurt parfait bar? Genius! Congrats to the happy couple!

October

It is currently the month of October.  To me that means pretty colors, fantastic weather, birthday celebrations, and fall break.  To others it means: scary movies.  Somehow I have been sucked into the "others" ideas.  A good half of any given scary movie is spent with my head under the blanket with only one eye barely peeking out enough to get the gist of what is going on. These are my predictions for the month of October:
1. My blood pressure will increase
2. My sleep quality (and amount) will decrease
3. My "scare factor" will considerably increase
       Sidenote: I have already seen this one take place.  Today I was walking on campus when a friend snuck up behind me and yelled BOO! I almost punched him.  I'd keep a safe distance from me if I were you.
4. My nervous habits will become more pronounced
5. My ability to be alone in my house will vanish
6. Walking to my car in the dark will become an almost unconquerable feat
7. Zombies/ghosts/crazy people/anything remotely scary will take over the world
8. I will spend an abnormal amount of time thinking about how to escape any given room
So...to start of the month of happiness/misery (depending on which side you are on), we have watched:

The Grudge. Scariest movie I have seen to date.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Don't chainsaws make such a sweet noise?

NOT scary.  But interesting.

The good news in all of this? November is musical month.  Sound of Music and 7 Brides for 7 Brothers here I come!!

I Have a Disease

It is an illness. And don't fool yourself into thinking these are all I have.

Make Over!!

Please excuse the lighting in my room. It is awful.

Just Another Sunday Afternoon

The weather has been perfect which means....dessert on the deck!

Homemade fresh peach ice cream!!

 Look! Another man on our porch! This is rare, indeed.... It is cousin Drew visiting us from college. He is one of the local university's newest, and most handsome scholars.

All in all it was a wonderful evening.  Great weather, great company.  Everyone was just so.....happy.

Glimpses Into My Life

Currently: life is fun, crazy, and full of baby toys.

I don't have too much jewelry do I?

A Great Start

This was the first week of school for me. It was fun to be back in school and all that jazz.  Here is a back-to-school story that will blow your back-to-school story out of the water. I promise.
You may or may not know that I have been trying to lose weight.  It is working.  So well in fact, that today I had a problem because of it.  I decided to wear a skirt to school today.  Not a life-altering choice.  Well, I had to walk up a lot of stairs to get to my early class so I walked up the stairs.  About half way through my stair-trudging, my underwear fell off.  Literally.  They slipped off of my (decreasing in size) bum and were headed to the ground.  I caught them mid-thigh.  But THAT was awkward to watch, I'm sure.
"You'll never believe what I saw today!"
"Yeah? What?"
"This girl was walking up the stairs in front of me and all of the sudden she dropped everything and grabbed her thighs like her legs were falling off!"
See what I mean?
Well, for the rest of the walk I had to keep one arm on my stuff and one arm concealed behind my bag holding my underwear up.  It didn't work out so well.  Somehow my underwear bunched up and settled right at the top of my thigh (but completely off my bum) and just decided to hang out there.  So I went commando-esque for the rest of the morning.

It was a rough morning.
