Can't Catch Me...

I went to a Christmas party at a Cru staff members house last night. Of all the fun activities they had planned for us, I think decorating gingerbread men had to be my favorite. I even made a whole family. And the only supplies needed are the gingerbread people (obviously), a couple tubes of icing in different colors (I just used red and green in the holiday spirit) and some sprinkles (preferably Christmas as well).

Love me some home cooking

The best thing of coming home for Thanksgiving is the home cooked food made to my liking because I've been away all semester. And I'm not talking about the Thanksgiving dinner, because frankly I don't like Thanksgiving type foods including turkey. No for breakfast this morning my dad made a cinnamon roll ring. Absolutely delicious.

Best Big Ever

Big-Little Reveal took place tonight, and I could not have been blessed with a better big sis! Love her so much!
Basically what happened was, we were all at the lodge for an Alpha Chi workshop, and after it was over they kept the new member class up in the chapter room while they put boxes with our names on it and then the bigs hid outside in our front yard to surprise us, since all that was in the box was a  t-shirt and instructions on what to do. Mine also had an old school kodak disposable camera. Super cute!
I put on my shirt and went out and even though I was pretty sure about who my big was (and I was exactly right) I was still shocked and super excited to see her in a matching t-shirt. Legit didn't even care about the basket, I was just more excited about my new family. Although the basket didn't hurt :) And my big spend a lot of time and effort on it. Take a look.

Lap Desk Complete

This is a project I have been working on since before I left for college, but now that I have my letters, I was finally able to complete my lap desk. I bought the actual thing at Michael's along with the ribbon you see. When I got it home I hot glued the ribbon on and ruffled it, so to speak. Then with sharpie I wrote my name and decorated a little. I had the Double -T sticker all ready, and I got the Alpha Chi Omega sticker in my welcome bag at Bid Day.

All the Best Girls Wear Lyres and Pearls

I had sooooo much fun at Bid Day yesterday! I opened my bid card and was literally soooo excited, because there's only one way to go and that's A Chi O!! When we got to the house, we got our Bid Day tees and a bunch of other AXO goodies.

Dorm sweet dorm

Well it's been a week since I arrived in Lubbock and almost a week since moving in. I've been so busy with rush that I haven't had time for much else. Today is bid day so I am sitting in my dorm room waiting with so much excitement to go get my bid and go to the house. But now I have time to upload pictures of my dorm room.

I Found the Dress! Now to Find the Man...

I was watching Randy to the Rescue last night on TLC, and one thing led to another, and I found my self wedding dress shopping in no time. This is actually quite a dangerous habit as it seems because I found the perfect dress, and yet I'm not even dating (flirting a little, but still...). This dress has absolutely everything I was looking for. Now everything could change by the time I'm actually engaged, but currently I want:
- a lace dress
-sweetheart neckline
-button down back
-diamond cut out on the back
-little to no ribbon or crystal embellishment
I'm a bit picky, but I also know what I would be comfortable with and what would look good on my body type. So, my dress is the Bernadette by Maggie Sottero.
