Never can say goodbye.
Well, that’s it. I’ve moved out of my apartment, loaded down my car with anything & everything that would fit, kissed my new fiancé goodbye, and left College Station for good. Talk about closing one chapter & opening another! A week or so ago I was a relatively carefree college student just trying to graduate.…

Get excited!
Well, it seems I’ve been engaged! Apparently, unbeknownst to me, almost everyone I know was at Daniel’s house all day yesterday preparing for the proposal. There were white roses, candles, streamers, and pictures of Daniel and I from when we were 15-16. I got to his apartment for a fancy dinner with my friends, opened…

Tips for staying on track?
So word on the street is everyone gained 5-35 lbs during their training last summer with ConocoPhillips. They take you out to eat every meal, keep you up late, and exhaust you during the day, leaving rigorous exercise only viable for the extremely dedicated or freakishly energized. In all my exercise/nutrition education, I’ve come across…

Busy day!
Busy day! I started with boot camp this morning at the Gold’s Gym in Bryan. The trainer was super cute… 😉 I was so proud seeing Daniel’s name on the poster! 10 sprints, then 3 rounds of weighted squats, push ups, weighted lunges, pike presses, and alternating leg planks! Finished the day off this evening…

Graduation!
Holy cow. I’m a graduate. Again, nothing feels all that different. In fact, it’s been such a busy weekend that I haven’t had a free minute for it to set in. My whole family came down Friday night and crashed at my apartment (thanks to my wonderful roommates letting us use their rooms!) and my…

Nothing Seems Different.
It seems that I’ve finished my undergraduate degree. All that’s left is the ceremony on Saturday… And yet, it seems like just another Monday night. I’m baking chicken and sweet potato fries and watching last week’s episode of Supernatural on my laptop. I walked in and out of Mays Business School to take my exams…

Final finals.
I graduate this week. What an odd thing to say. It’s coming at me much faster than I’d anticipated, but again, this is the “suddenly” portion of my undergraduate career. I have 3 finals tomorrow, then I’m done with school! Unfortunately, my previously noted party frenzy this past week has left me vastly underprepared. At…

As the Sun Sets
Well, I may have lived a relatively boring and reclusive life for the duration of my college tenure, but that’s all over now. Last weekend, Daniel and I joined Michael, Christina, Blair, and Arthur in a double queen hotel room at the Moody Gardens to celebrate the beautiful wedding of Mr. & Mrs. Jacob and…

Weddings…
…are a wonderful thing 🙂

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.
I realize this theme occurs pretty commonly in my posts, but I’d like to take a moment to talk about things like worry, value, and journey (no, not the rocktastic band, although “Don’t Stop Believing” and a car full of friends makes for the 2nd greatest karaoke memory behind “Bohemian Rhapsody”). Philippians 4:4-7: 4 Rejoice…
