Music Monday!

Hope you have had a a great weekend! We spent ours by helping my parents move in Little Rock and I played in a tennis tourney there. It was hot and we are tired.

So I decided to start "Music Mondays" I would like to share with you an artist each week that I enjoy. For the first, I would like to start off with an artist I found a little while back. I still love them a ton. They are a band a little less familiar, but I think they are great.

Style: Indie Folk
Artist: Blind Pilot
Album: 3 Rounds and a Sound
Song: One Red Thread

Bid Day 2010

This past week my sister has been going through rush or now known as formal recruitment. This week as many know is very stressful. It was no different for my sis. This past Saturday was Bid Day at the U of A. I went through rush 8 years ago and felt just as excited for Meg. I was a pi phi, but wanted Meg to be whatever she wanted. Unfortunately, so many girls were going through she didn't have much of choice because she was a legacy to pi phi. The outcome could have not been any better.

I have waited 8 years for this!

Happy mom and sis



Congrats to my sis. The reason I'm overjoyed for her is because I had such a wonderful experience. I made some of my lifelong friends that I would have otherwise not met. I deepened my relationship with acquaintances and other friends. It was such a fun time and I would love to go back any day.

Here's a flashback

GrooveShark

I love music. I love Itunes, I love Pandora, I love my ipod. I love finding new music too. I may or may not watch vh1 "jump start" in the mornings to see if I can hear a new song. Who knows?
All that too say, I have found a NEW love.
It's called GrooveShark.  It is much like pandora, except you get to choose what you want to listen to. You can make playlists to your liking. It's amazing you should try it out. Oh and the best part, it's all FREE!
So go try it out.
I'm also thinking about posting a song of the week. Please leave me a comment if you think that would be something you would enjoy or like!
Thanks and Happy Thursday!

A packed weekend

Well we we had a wonderful anniversary weekend getaway that was spent in Branson. We ate at a FABULOUS new steakhouse at the Hilton down at the Branson landing. It was called level 2. and was much like a Ruth's Chris. It was soo yummy. I had a filet w/ broccolini and garlic mashed potatoes. Then for dessert we had the Missouri butter cake. Umm one word- Incredible. It melted in my mouth. It had this caramel bourbon sauce that had melted down into it topped with fruit. This dinner was definitely one to remember. We had great conversation and a blast thinking back on the past 5 years. On Friday we shopped til we dropped at the outlet mall. We found some good deals on clothes which was our anniversary present to each other.
Later that day we headed to a lake house on table rock lake to meet up with our community group. It was one of our friends, parents lake house that was also incredible. We had a blast hanging out, eating, and playing on the water.

On Saturday night we grilled out and then Marc and I had to head back to Fay town because my parents were in town to move in my little sis on Sunday.
The long awaited 8 years is FINALLY over for me. We get to live in the same place now which is so exciting. Sunday we spent unpacking a dorm room and getting the necessary supplies needed to survive at college (aka, food!)
My mom stayed until this morning and I took a half day of work yesterday so that I could spend time with her. We haven't done that in awhile so that was nice hanging out together. We de-stressed by shopping, eating mexican, and going to see the movie Eat, Pray, Love.

Now I'm exhausted. So I will leave you with some pics.

auto-timer and awkward. This is our only 5yr pic.

 Lake Time!
