hello to you all!

The reason I did not post yesterday was because Tuesdays and Thursdays are so crazy busy for me! I literally go from 8:30 until about 10:30 and I crash hard at 10:30. Hopefully I can do better in the up coming weeks. I am not going to make any promises. Yesterday was filled with class and work. Nothing too exciting happened. However, today I found out that I got A JOB!!! :) I was very very happy and pleased. I got a job here on campus working as a substitute for the daycare here on campus. I was super excited about that! Today I went to class and did homework. I have had a lot of homework already. It's only two weeks into the semester. I feel like it's rushing by already. I just got back from Wesley. It was fantastic. I love Wesley so much. It is so great that it is on Wednesdays too. Right in the middle of the week when you need that extra push to get through the rest of the week. Who better to give you that extra strength and push than God? I also decided tonight that I want to join a small group through Wesley called Cure. Basically what they do is they work with hospitals and raise money for children that need surgeries that cannot afford them. The group organizes dances and fundraisers to raise money for the children. It also involves going in to the hospitals and praying with the families if they would allow it and just praying over the doctors and the child. It really touched me to hear about it. I believe that it is a new thing on campus. So I am really excited about getting involved with that! Other than that...I don't really have anything else to say. Tomorrow is Thankful Thursday though! GET EXCITED! NIGHT! :)

Happy Monday!

Hello everyone! I have to keep up with this Blog better! I'm not starting off so well! haha So lets start with Friday....I actually applied to two jobs on Friday. I applied to a day care near Athens and the day care on campus. I should be hearing back from those places soon. I am excited. I enjoy working and miss being around kids. A job at a day care would cure both of those problems! :) Friday, Chad and I went out on a mini date night. We cooked an awesome dinner of sweet potatoes, salad, and bread. Then we went and saw Crazy Stupid Love. It was so great! I definitely recommend going to see that if you want to go to the movies! Then Saturday we washed lots and lots of clothes. We also went to dinner at Chad's aunt's house. We celebrated Oma and Opa's 56th wedding anniversary! It was so nice to get together and have a great meal with them. Congrats to Oma and Opa on that awesome 56 years of being married! After we got home from the little anniversary party, Chad and I went to one of his friends birthday party who is in Chad's a capella group. We had a blast just hanging out and getting to know that group a little better. Sunday was pretty much a lazy day. We didn't do much at all. Today was SO HOT! When I dropped Chad off after class about 20 minutes ago it said it was 100 in my car! I was sweating to death! Overall, classes are going well for me and Chad. He is really enjoying his classes. I am enjoying mine as well. I just do not like to go to class. haha Tonight is formal Chapter, so we have to get dressed up! blah! Anyway, I hope everyone had a great morning! I have attached pictures from Bid Night. Everyone enjoy!

Almost Friday!!!

Hello everyone...its Thursday!!! Almost the weekend and its thankful thursday! WOO! Tuesdays and Thursdays are my longest days of class, so its tough for me to get through the day without being negative or not wanting to go to class. Plus Thursday is almost Friday, so need to try and keep up with thankful thursdays so that I stay positive! Classes are going really well. I think my toughest class so far is going to be Spanish. I am so bad at it and my teacher is sort of scatter brained. I wonder sometimes if she knows what she is teaching us and in what order. Chad is loving his classes and his class schedule. He has been doing his homework and reading all week. I am so proud of him. He is so great. I should talk about/ give more praise to him on here. Anyway, today we went to class. I had to get the last of my books today. I did that. Thursdays is also Chick Fil A night for us. We went to dinner there with the boys, Ginger, and me. It was a good time. The boys are currently in this Xbox mode. They have been playing Batman all day (mostly Tyler because I feel like he never goes to class). It has been quite entertaining to say the least. haha Anyway, over all it has been a good day. I hope everyone else had a good day as well!

Thankful Thursday List: My awesome friends that live down the hall from me, good walks on campus, the sunshine, a good pair of tennis shoes, family to love, a boyfriend that I can laugh and make fun of, all of the new sweet sweet baby AXOs, and good bonding moments. What is on your list??

hello there!

Hello everyone! I hope everyone is doing well! Chad and I most certainly have been busy lately. We started classes on Monday. All of our classes are going well. We both have pretty awesome schedules. We don't start until about 11 or 12:30 everyday. Its super nice! :) I also had bid day on Monday. Bid Day is the day that the new girls that rushed get their bids from their sororities. My sorority had a HUGE turn out. There are 52 girls in my pledge class. The new class that just came in has 71. So we had a great rush week as you can tell. hahaha It has been a lot fun. We had a DJ out on the front of our lawn. We all danced basically all night. It was a blast. Everyone had a great time. Our new girls have thoroughly enjoyed themselves this far. Tuesday we didn't do much except go to class. Chad and I watched a pretty good movie last night. I think it was called Lincoln Lawyer. It was really good if you are into mystery type movies. Tonight we are going to Wesley. I am excited. I love Wesley. Its a huge worship service for those of you who aren't as familiar with UGA. It is the biggest church organization here at UGA I believe. We are going to praise Jesus tonight in the best way possible! So i hope everyone has an awesome Wednesday! Tomorrow is thankful Thursday! I'm so excited to be getting back to those! :)

busiest week of my life....no joke.

Hello! I hope everyone had a great week and weekend. It seriously blows my mind that I have not blogged for a week. I have been so busy that I've had no time to do anything but sleep and do rush stuff! hahah Basically this is what I have been doing for the past week. During Rush we have 4 rounds. The first round which is tomorrow is just talking to the girls that come through. We get to know them in a 20 minute time frame as best we can. This will last Wednesday and Thursday. Friday is round 2. This round is house tours. We just take them around the house and let them ask questions. Round 3 is Saturday and that is our skit round. Our skit is based off of Grease. It is absolutely hilarious. We have certain songs and jokes that go along with the skit that have to do with sororities. It isn't actually from Grease just to make that clear. Then the last round is called Prefs. It is sort of a more sentimental round. Best friends get up and tell stories about each other, and we sing really sweet slow songs that are supposed to make the girls want to go AXOs. haha The fun begins tomorrow at 7 AM. Everyone has to be up SUPER early tomorrow morning! It should be a good week hopefully. A couple of us in the sorority have been having a Bible Study every morning. We have been praying over rush and the girls that are coming in. That has been super helpful for me just knowing that God has complete control over this whole situation because I am seriously nervous about it.
Overall the week has been really good. At some points I have been super struggling with a few things. In the big picture, those little petty things truly do not matter at the end of the day. I am just so thankful for such a loving God, family, and friends that surround me on a daily basis. I have been so blessed to even be in the situations of this week and the upcoming days. It is such a mission field for me and my fellow Christian sorority sisters. So while having your quite time with Jesus, please just remember me and rush going on up here! We could use some prayers! I have found much comfort in the verse Philippians 4:4-7 this week! If you need a pick me up to get you through the week, I would seriously consider reading those couple of verses! I hope every one has a great rest of the week! I will try to blog but seriously, I have no idea if I will have time! Love you all!!! :)

Here are some awesome pictures from this week! Hope you enjoy! :)

officially moved in!

Hello!!!! I am officially all moved into AXO. It has been quite an experience already. Monday I moved in....today Janette (my roommate) and I have been getting up stuff on the walls slowly. I will post pictures soon. Today was our first official day of recruitment week. It was a lot of information on the do's and don'ts of the actual rush week....Nothing too too exciting there! I am super excited about living here and getting the experience of a life time. In the past two days, it has been better than I could have ever expected! I am so so excited! I do wish they had bigger closet space here...there is lots of storage but not so much the closet itself. I guess I can get past that! I hope that everyone has had a great start to the week! Cannot wait to tell you about more adventures as they come along!!! :)
