Finals!

My final finals to be exact. I am 1 study guide, 2 quizzes, 2 papers, 6 finals, and one moving day away from graduation! I am really excited and I have lots to blog, but it will have to wait until next week.

Please pray for me with all I have going on this week with finals and homework and packing!
Also pray for my family as they travel to Lex this weekend for the commencement.

Allergies

I've been on my Zyrtec and Nasonex for a while now, but I am still feeling the itching in my eyes. Apparently a lot of people around me are probably feeling it too.

Happy Earth Day!

I am really excited about Earth Day this year since I am trying extra hard to be green. I hope some of you are too! Things I am trying right now:

-less water when washing dishes, shaving legs, brushing teeth
-using reusable water bottles and food storage
-buying organic as much as possible
-turning off & unplugging anything not in use
-recycling
-driving less (which is hard since I am still in Lex and driving home)
-using less paper (double-sided printing)
-no plastic bags at the grocery and other stores. I either carry a smal load or bring my own bag

What are you doing?

Only a few more days...

until I am a college graduate! I am full-speed-ahead finishing up my 18 hours of classes. So from now until May 2nd it'll be lots of education video summaries, music lessons and assessments, and test studying.

This Thursday is the Grant's birthday and Sunday is our 2BC Church Bridal Shower. So I am looking forward to a big weekend. I know we should have lots of fun!

Did you see the Biggest Loser Finale tonight? We finally got a female winner! I say finally, but this is the first time I have ever watched more than maybe one show in a season. I caught this one about halfway through and it's been pretty cool watching their transformations... if only I could get more inspired to get healthy. They are so in shape! Makes me tired just writing about it :)

UK student killed in hit-and-run near campus

UK student killed in hit-and-run near campus - Campus News

Please be in prayer for this girl's family and her friends on campus. There was a memorial service tonight on campus. Her funeral and burial will be at her home town in Utah.

I didn't know her personally, but she was on the equestrian team with one of my sorority sisters. They were good friends and from all I hear she was a great person.

Her sister welcomed her first child into the world on the same day she died. This is surely a very stressful time for a family with such tragedy and joy so close together.

RPC Wedding Reception

I decided to change my header to look less wintery. I wanted to also do a bridal theme since we are in the double digits countdown to the wedding! Here's a pic from my wedding photographers site. This couple had a private tropical wedding then came home to celebrate with friends and family for a big reception. I've listed at the bottom of my page the contact info for the photographer, Clinton Lewis.

Grant had to take a seat and see how it would feel to have a real desk!
We went furniture shopping a couple weeks ago just to look around
and think about what we are going to need for our apartment in July!

Miss Bachelorette

Whitney got me a "Miss Bachelorette" Sash and it had blinking lights!

Here's the group of girls at my personal shower. We had one more girl show up a little late.
I had it in Lexington where I was able to invite some high school friends and my sorority sisters.
Special thanks to my bridesmaids Holly for throwing it and to Whitney for hosting the games.

Organics @ VS

Here's my latest shopping spree. I didn't even have to pay for it! Leanne got me a VS gift card for my birthday back in January and I finally found the perfect items to use it on! I'm really happy to see more stores offering organic products. I even switched Dad over to organic milk! Thanks for a great shopping day and some really cute stuff Leanne!
