one month to go!

So yesterday was exactly one month until the day of Lacey and Shane's wedding

and today is exactly one month until I leave for Germany!!!

I ran into to Dr. Shewmaker (our professor) today and she mentioned that she was thinking about having our group over for dinner sometime next week. Sounded good to me!!!

Today is the last day of classes and next week....finals. 

how about that swine flu.....im hoping it gets controlled

this weekend

So this weekend, I was invited to go to San Antonio with my friend Kyle. He was celebrating his girlfriend Alex's birthday and decided to bring me along since I didn't really have much going on this weekend. Alex brought a guy friend of hers from SHSU named Abel. We all had fun together!

His mom is an amazing cook! Friday night, she made an amazing roast with carrots and potatoes. It was delicious. Poor Kyle and Abel had to suffer through Dreamgirls bwahahaha.

 Saturday morning, Kyle's dad made pancakes and bacon....very very good :) The four of us plus Kyle's family went skeet shooting. It's harder than it looks!!! Basically you're shooting at a sporting clay target that's flying through the air. I did pretty well I thought!!! After this, we went to this place called the Cove. They have really good fish tacos and nachos :) This place has a beer garden and on this particular afternoon was hosting a battle of the bands competition. After we ate and ate, Kyle, Alex, Abel, and I went shopping at La Cantera. I love this place!!!!! They had a new york and company store so I was happy :) (but I didn't buy anything!!!)

After shopping for like 4 hours, we went back to Kyle's house for dinner. His mom made catfish, spaghetti, garlic bread, and a caesar salad (Alex's birthday dinner request). It was so delicious!!!! The spaghetti sauce is actually a family secret recipe that takes 3 days to make. 

So it was a short but definitely fun weekend. Kyle's family is really nice and super funny hahaha. Kyle and I drove back to ACU this afternoon and now we're under tornado watch :)

LAST WEEK OF CLASSES WHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! and then finals :(

Orientation is tomorrow so expect a good post tomorrow!

just realized that today is Hitler's bday, national pot day, and the 10th anniversary of the Columbine shootings.....yikes

Hallo there!

Hello everyone! So I decided to create this blog just so all of my non-conformist friends (meaning those without facebook) can keep up with my crazy awesome adventures. If you don't already know, I will living in Germany for a month this summer starting June 1 for study abroad. Instead of writing millions and millions of facebook notes and emailing you several times a day with what I did that day, I decided that making a blog would be much easier. 

So today in chapel, all of the students who will be studying abroad during the summer will receive their blessing! Yay! Thursday night is our orientation night so I'm sure I will posting after that. I'm so excited!!! Yayyyy!!!!!

So I guess that's it for my first post! Auf Wiedersehen :)
