boo!

Halloween this year was great, and I had a blast! Every night from Thursday-Saturday was filled with tons of stuff to do.

Thursday night: I hung out with my friends Nikki and Ashley after I got out of class. We decided to meet up with my friend/old neighbor Brett at a party. Nikki, Ashley, & I were the "walks of shame".....classy, eh? ;)

Friday Night: Friday, one of my best friends KENZIE came to town, so of course we had to celebrate. Calyn & I decided on being cowgirls that night. Kenzie was a sailor, her friend was an 80's girl, and Amelia was the Statue of Liberty. We walked what seemed like forever to a party in Normal, and it was a blast. We ended up at the frat ARG, and it was amazing to be reunited with kenz. :)








Saturday Night: If I had to pick my favorite night out of all three I would definitly say Saturday. I got to see a mojority of all of my favorite people and I overall had a blast!! At about 2:30 pm I went to work in my costume. A girl named Amanda, and I, were the two lucky ones that got scheduled to work on halloween.....yay....not ;). It ended up not being TOO bad, although I would have loved to have gotten out earlier, but oh well.
After work, I wasted no time and headed straight over to Nikki's. After I got a few drinks in me and played a round of beer pong, the party bus was there to pick us up. We all headed over to a guy that Nikki is friends with from work who was having a keg. Michael & I didn't last long there, and had to have our friends Wendy & Josh come pick us up. When they picked us up we headed on over to a friends house who was having a huge halloween party. It ended up being really fun. Michael & I walked back to my apartment after the party. Overall it was an AMAZING Halloween filled with all fun and no drama, just the way I like it!!
























(I also forgot to mention that this halloween was mine & Michael's one year anniversary of first hanging out ;) just thought i'd throw that in there. We decided to celebrate by dressing up together. Shockingly, that was Michael's idea. We were Cowboy's & Indian's if you couldn't tell.)

CHIcago

Last Saturday, Michael & I went to Chicago to look at potential apartments that he would in interested in. He is thinking about going to a college up there next fall, so we figured that we better get started on the whole apartment search. It ended up being more of a site seeing trip for me, and it was my first time in the city that I can remember. (last time was when I was a little kid with my parents) We also rode the train from Westmont to Chicago. That was also my first time on a train since i was a little :) It was just a day of firsts for me. It ended up being an AMAZING time and I cannot wait to go back!!!!!

Photoshoot

The other day, me and my roommate Amelia, and our friend Calyn, decided to have a little photoshoot in Calyn's backyard. I love love love these girls :)

AMILLI

So I'm pretty sure that I have never mentioned how much I LOVE my roommate Amelia! She is probably the best roommate that I could ask for, and is guaranteed to be a long time friend. So here's a shoutout to you Amilli :)


NV Night with Coors Light



"Alcohol is our only friend" haha.
^Cute, eh?^

Girls Night

♥

The other night, my roommate Amelia, our friends Calyn & Maggie, and I decided to just have a little girls night and play games. And what would a game night be without APPLES TO APPLES :) It was a lot of fun and just figured I'd share some of the pictures taken.

Amelia was sad she only won one card.Calyn was runner upMaggieAnd last but not least.......
THE WINNER♥....ME!

Supposedly, when your all said and done with the game, the cards are supposed to be words that "describe you"......if that's the case, then I am Patriotic, Sultry, Demanding, Depressing, Fuzzy, and Shallow. Sweet set of adjectives to describe myself. I was very happy my results... NOT!

Photography

So this semester I enrolled in a photography class to help slim out my general ed. load, and to hopefully take some awesome pictures and learn how to develop them. We have had a few assignments since school started, and so far I love it. Our first assignment was called "Scavenger Hunt", and my film ended up being blank. Since it was blank, my teacher told me that I could just go around and take pictures on my camera of anything I wanted just so I could get a feel for the camera and learn kind of how to use the different things on it. My camera is a 35mm camera, and I can only use film that I can develop on my own. For this assignment though we got to take it to a Walgreen's and have them develop it for us. I just finally got this assignment back today and figured I'd share a few of the pictures that I took while I was experimenting with the camera. I took a variety of pictures and enjoyed playing around with the camera. I only hope that my next assignments will be better.

Here we go again...

WELP, its been quite a long time since I have updated this thing. A lot has happend in the past
few months.


I moved into a new apartment with a girl named Amelia Paccamonti on June 30th. So far things are going great!! Our apartment is a little ghetto, and we get nervous sometimes, but all in all its been amazing. I couldn't ask for a better roommate!!



I went on an awesome vacation with the Meiner family (aka, my boyfriends fam) and it was a blast!! I'm not even joking when I say that it was probably the best vacation I've ever been on. We went to Lake Sylvan, Minnesota for a week and a half and spent all that time on the lake. I learned how to ski, although I was not good at it at all, and got to jet ski & tube a lot. Jealous yet??




Two weeks after we got back from vacation, I started back at school.....here's where it gets boring. I'm going full time again this semester. I am taking Math 96, Biology, a Religions course, and Photography (my fave :]) So far it isn't going to bad. My classes aren't TOO terribly hard, but who likes school?........no one.

I am still working at the El Paso Golf Club as a waitress/bartender. As the summer went on I started to bartend almost full time, and so far I love it!! I like learning how to make new drinks, and feeling more responsible :).
