Beautiful

This weather is beautiful.

74 and sunny.

I wish it would stay like this forever.

Lest we forget..

Almost forgot about these pictures I took of the boys two Saturdays ago. Dave and Ryan were ripping shingles off the sun room at their house. I went over and told them I needed a picture for the blog. I love this first one.

I was even brave enough to climb up on top of the roof...in my Sperry's...














I love that it is light when I wake up, but not so sure of this getting dark so soon. It makes me sleepy. Are you adjusting?

P.S. Someone was watching over me this evening at 6:30 PM. Abby and I had just got done working out and were on our way back home when a huge BUCK ran in front of my car! I slowly tapped my brakes (my dad has always told me to never slam the brakes in situations like this) I envisioned my car being ruined and his antlers being shoved into my face. However, there was no damage. I was just shook up for some time after. Someone up above was definitely watching over me...

Pumpkin Waffles & Spaghetti Bolognase

Oh, how I love to cook (and so do my friends)!!! On Saturday, Abby came over and we made pumpkin waffles and banana bread!

In this picture you can see that Abby put too much batter in the first time around. Bryce and Ryan came over to help us eat the waffles. Unfortunately, Ryan is allergic to pumpkin! How sad....

This evening my friend Rob came over and made us his speciality - spaghetti bolognase. It was delicious! We even opened a bottle of champagne. Bryce is the one all dressed up. He came over after his music concert in his Tower Choir concert clothes. (He looks like he is working in a restaurant in this picture) :)

I can't believe the weekend is over. I should have done more homework. Looks like I will be spending a lot of time in the library the next couple days...

Hopefully you now have an idea of what my kitchen looks like!

PRSA Day

4:35 AM

Alarm goes off.

Time to get up and get ready to go to Kansas City for Public Relations Society of America Day.

It is a day long conference held for students studying PR and any other related field. The event was held at the Kansas City Zoo.

We had to leave early in order to make the opening ceremony. It was an exhausting, enriching, and informative day. The keynote speaker was the director of communications for Southwest Airlines.

Here is the group of students that went from NW. There is no way I'm going out tonight. I am watching Oprah on DVR and the Backstreet Boys are singing "I want it that way"

My day is now complete.

SUCCESS!

My first lecture series was a complete success! Look at all of those people! Jamie, from TWLOHA was probably one of the nicest guys I have ever met in my life. He took the time to talk to every individual who wished to speak with him during the meet & greet. I keep smiling thinking about how well last night went. The director of campus activities came up to me today and said that she heard my lecture was a huge success last night! It was a rush of 'warm fuzzies.' I am so thankful that all of my hard work paid off. I am so thankful that I have the privilege to fulfill the job responsibilities. These people trust ME to spend $62,000.00!

Here I am with Jamie, the founder of TWLOHA, and Steven from Satellite. Steven played music before the lecture began.

The last picture is of my dining room (continuing on with the house pictures)

Hope you are all having a great day! I'm heading to the nursing home at 3 to visit with elderly folks for a group project.

Room of Living...

Check out my living room! Pretty nice, huh? That leather couch is where you can usually find me on Sunday afternoons taking a nap.

Tomorrow my is my first SAC Lecture of the school year. I am responsible for bringing in well known people to talk to NW students. Tomorrow we have the founder of TWLOHA. To Write Love on her Arms is a non-profit group dedicated to help with depression, anxiety, and suicide prevention. Say a prayer that everything runs smoothly (It should!)

Just got done with yoga and pilates. Working out gives me a high. I love it.

Look inside my home

Most college students live in old rental homes or beaten up apartments. My living situation is not like most college students. I live in luxury.




I am very blessed and fortunate to be living in this 3 bedroom 1.5 bathroom, Cape Cod style home. It is the cutest home in my opinion. My roommates parents bought it last May and completely furnished it.

And when I say they completely furnished it, I truly mean it.

Want to see what the inside looks like? Guess you will have to keep visiting my blog to see... :)
