  • For me.

    Sometimes, you need to do something for you. Here we are, approaching the end of Summer Camp Houston 2012. It’s been a pretty wild ride filled with dancing, eating, learning, playing, eating, not sleeping, drinking lots of coffee, not exercising (at least by my standards), and eating. At this point, I’m wearing a figure flattering…

  • June 6.

    The day before June 7th, the infamous day that’s loomed over me since November as “the first day of work.” I can’t even begin to believe it’s here or that I’m here in Bartlesville already. Where does the time go? I’m wasting some now in the parking lot of the DMV waiting on them to…

  • Onward, ho!

    “The time has come,” the Walrus said…” …to move to Oklahoma. Last night, I spent my last night “living” at my parents house for the foreseeable future. We loaded up my car, again, and got everything ready for the big trip. I saw Erica, Callie, Sigi, her boyfriend (Daniel), and Chance before I left, kissed…

  • Obnoxious Lovefest.

    I’ve been doing some wedding research and I might have caught the bug… So yeah, I might be bragging, but I’m incredibly excited about marrying Daniel. He’s responsible, ridiculous, and tougher than most. He’s my best friend and a near perfect compliment to me. He likes that I’m quirky but keeps me from crossing the…

  • Miles to Go

    “…I’ve got promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep, miles to go before I sleep.” –Robert Frost Well, the truth is that the fast pace of life has hit me all at once. Two weeks ago I was working on finals, then I was packing and cleaning and prepping for graduation/moving most…

  • Great Gatsby!

    Oh, yes. I’m so excited for the Great Gatsby this Christmas. I may ask Daniel to take me to the midnight show since we get to start our own traditions this year! I’m going to have to reread it as I haven’t since I was in high school. Something about the glamour of the roaring…

  • This is what you shall do;

    “This is what you shall do; Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to…

  • 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.…

  • 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…
