WDE

I know that I keep going on about Auburn, and trust me this won't be close to the last post about it, but I am so blessed that some of the highlights of my college career were filmed for me. If you have 10 minutes to spare, which I know we all do, take a look at this video. I get chill bumps every time and I bet you will too...let me know what you think! WDE. 

Ideal.

Thursday. Usually not one of my favorite days. Wednesday, the fun day, has passed, and it's not quite the weekend. I've always thought of Thursday as being in the way come to think of it. But not today. Maybe not ever again (at least for the semester). I woke up mid morning, attended my journalism class where I learned about "unnecessary words", most of which I'm sure I'm using.. I had lunch with my wonderful roommate, Kat, at a place that made us nostalgic for freshman year. Caught up with a sorority sister on life before heading to my PR class-You know, it's nice to know that I'm not the only one who feels like everything, whether it be school, time, or life in general, seems to sneak up on me all the time...I like knowing that everyone is as overwhelmed as I am. Is that selfish or just human? Anyhow...
I then ventured to my last class of the day; Introduction to Public Relations, where we were assigned our very first story! We were assigned to go to the National Championship celebration and find a feature piece and write about it. I'm so excited about this I can't even begin to explain! I came home, worked on some homework, and curled up with my favorite Anthropologie candle, and watched the finale of the Bravo series "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills"...Yes. I am that girl. And I embrace it to the fullest.
Friends, trashy television, and knowing that my life will never be as complicated as the lives the women on this show lead, no matter how overwhelmed I feel...what more could I ask of a Thursday? In a word, it's been ideal.

So here's to my budding relationship with Thursday.

Bon nuit.

Xx,
Lo.

P.s: if you're ever in a bind for a gift, or you feel that guilty need to buy something every time you go into Anthropolgie...this candle is ALWAYS a winner. Baltic Amber is the scent from the Voluspa line. Trust me, it's the best $18 you'll spend in that store. Like Thursday, this candle is...ideal.

Fairy Tales.

Once upon a time, a girl from Dallas drove through Auburn, Alabama on her way back to Texas from a family road trip to Florida. The town was perfect. The buildings were beautiful. It was everything she had pictured for herself when she pictured college. Before she knew it, she packed up her things, and moved 700 miles away to call this small town her home. She had no idea that throughout her time on the plains she would share this home with National Champions and a Heisman Trophy winner. And they all lived happily ever after.
War Eagle.

I still can't get over the fact that I go to school with the winner of the Heisman Trophy, and that my entire fall semester social life revolved around a football team that went on to become the best in the nation. The NATION. I experienced the perfect season and I wish everyone else could too because the feeling is irreplaceable. Fall of 2010 will probably go down as my favorite semester of college when I'm looking back on it a few years from now..."they" say that if something is too good to be true, it usually is...well this might just be the exception to what "they" say.

P.S isn't that picture awesome? It's like it snowed on Toomer's. Can you say "excited"? Haha War Damn!

Anyway, needless to say this semester has started off on the right foot. I've gotten into the classes I need to be in to finally start my major! YAY!!  Fun fact: my intro to PR class is requiring us to get a Twitter! I know my sister will appreciate this because I made fun of her for having one...sorry Katie.

I can't wait to see what else is in store for me to close out the year. My life truly has been a fairy tale. There have been ups and downs...but in the end the sun sets and all is right in my world. And don't forget...when the sun sets...the sky is orange and blue :)

And that's the Lo down...

War Eagle.

Lovely.

Today was the start of a new year...it's always a little sad seeing the end of something great, though if today was any indication of how the rest of my year will turn out, I confidently bid adieu to 2010 and warmly embrace 2011. I spent my day frolicking the beautiful grounds of Highland Park with two of my very best friends and it was absolutely lovely.
We started out with no destination in mind and ended up being diva models for Erin and her new camera...if Anthropologie or Converse need new models-you just let the three of us know ;)
I am constantly amazed at how well the three of us mesh together...and thank goodness we do because I don't know how I would get by without them...especially on days like today :) Aren't they great? hahah

I wish I had them to myself all year round, but I suppose that's part of what makes them so special. I am forced to make every moment of every second really count...to tide me over until my next venture to our hometown. There's not a whole lot to do around here most of the time but it's lovely ladies like these that make me miss Dallas oh so much when I'm away. Even if all we do is drive around and waste gas, I wouldn't trade it for the world.

This winter break has been full of lovely surprises and blessings. I've gotten to play with my big sister, Katie for a few weeks which has been SUCH a treat!! We live so far away (too far away) from each other but luckily she is the proud owner of a brand new macbook pro and we can skype ALL the time! Get excited Katie (and Kaitlyn) our lives are about to get so much more giggly...if that's even possible.

 Of all the things I was blessed with this year...my favorite would have to be my new baby!! Although little Mazi was wonderful to me, the Rogue has already experienced so much laughter and joy. I can't wait to see where it'll take me these next few years!

Unfortunately all good things do come to an end and I am losing two of my favorite blondes tomorrow...

Why did we all go so far away?! Until next time I suppose...

I could only hope that everyone else's Winter break/New Years Day was as enchanting as mine was. 

Let's make 2011 truly lovely.
