booo.

HALLOWEEN.

Kind of a cool holiday. Because we can dress up in costumes and carve pumpkins and eat lots of candy. All great activities.

My favorite part of this year was my costume. My roommates and I were a group costume....

SHARK WEEK. We all made shirts that had a picture of a shark along with a day of the week. So great! I really enjoyed making the shirts...took me back to Superfan days at FCHS.

It was a great Halloween weekend...

dedicated to...

My brother, JARED.

And the entire FCHS boys soccer team.

On to the quarter finals. Go get em!

The team all cut their hair in weird ways to celebrate! Cute? I'm thinking..not. 

And also, a tiny bit of mourning for soccer in general. This season will probs mark the last time Jared will play on an official team for awhile. And I'm missing seeing it happen. I'll miss being able to sit on the sidelines in the early morning cold, the sunny afternoons, or the cold evenings on the bleachers. I'll miss seeing my little brother exude confidence out on the field. It's where he's most at home and I love seeing him in the atmosphere. I'll miss asking him questions about how the game went afterwards. "Good......fine.....yep...."

So thank you for the last years of enjoying the game and GOOD LUCK!

it's coming!

Halloween! Almost here!

I'm not a super big Halloween person. But I do really love costumes. Of all kinds. So I'm super pumped about the costume that I planned with some of my roommates/friends at Butler. It's going to be GREAT! Just you wait.

And, it helps to get into the Halloween spirit when I can walk in the front door of Alpha Phi and see this.

And when I get to help paint bats on a banner. I love bats. Because I do live in the BAT CAVE. 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 

in case you haven't heard...

There is a Butler Cribs video contest going on...like MTV, only cooler.

And my roommates and I decided to enter.

1. Because we want to win the prize.

2. Because we want to show off the Alpha Bat Cave to it's finest.

3. Because we are so funny & we wanted to video ourselves being straight up weird.

So, because of all of these reasons, we created the best video ever. We didn't realize the deadline until 20 minutes before. Therefore, we were quite last minute. It was late at night and we had no plan...and that's what made it wonderful.

Check it out. Vote. Or else.

my big screen debut!

Sometimes I just really love college. Today is one of those days.

I love how flexible it is. I love that people know that you have class, but that you can rearrange your schedule to do cool things. And you can manage your own time however you want.

So, duh, went to work and class today. But also made time to write some letters to people that mean a lot to mean. And spent some time looking up my potential class schedule for next semester. (Actually one of my true favorite parts of college!)

And then got the chance to be in an Admissions Office video. It's the video that every potential student who comes to visit Butler will see. And I'm in it! COOL!

And all I had to do was rearrange my schedule a little bit. Leave my homework for a little bit later. And then, Ta-Da! There you go.

I'll make sure to let everyone know when my debut is out on video.

everybody cut loose...

Footloose.

Saw this movie last night with Meredith, Mel, & Sam. It. Was. The. Best. Movie. Ever.

All I want to do is sing and dance and I wish my life was a musical. We all walked out of the theatre smiling and couldn't be any happier.

Downloaded the soundtrack, put it on repeat, and it's going to get make my Sunday a fun day.

yay!!!!!

My best friends..my best of the best of the best friends are thinking of coming out to visit me at Butler next semester. I went to visit some of them at their school at Baylor last year and it was the best weekend ever. Everything was awesome. I loved every second of it.

So, basically I can't wait until I hear confirmation of these beautiful girls coming out to Indiana so we can have the BEST DAY EVER. (I used the word best too much, but this deserves it!)

These girls are the best of the best of the best, sir. And yes, they are as fun in real life as they look in pictures.
