Band Banquet '10!

 Tonight went so well. I got to dress up, got my "hair did" by Gracie, and went to the banquet with a complete gentleman (Scott!). So I've got three pictures to share. :)

Picture # 237

Forgive the face, I am TIRED. But I love this dress. It blows my mind that I actually bought this dress my freshman year of high school. Yeah, you read that right, HIGH SCHOOL. But then I ended up buying a different dress for homecoming my freshman year, wore something else my sophomore year, could fit into this my junior year, and didn't even try my senior year. So it's been hanging in my closet for alllllllll these years, and over break I go home and try it on, and it fit so well! Anyway, I'm done my little ramble. 

The group!

Brittney and I are both fans of The Ravens, so we and our dates rocked out the Purple and Black! Sadly, our team lost last night in the last quarter, but... we are pressing on. We all had a great time and Scott won a "Fruit of the Spirit" award! He totally deserved it. :)

We didn't want the party to end...

We all went back to my apartment where my roommates were very gracious and let us talk and watch a movie. I highly recommend Meet the Robinsons. Such a funny and encouraging movie. 

Now I'm going to go change, wash the goop off of my face, and sleep hard. I've got my first final tomorrow! :(

Plans fall through

Life is unexpected. Nothing ever flows perfectly well, friends can let you down. But you only lose out when you allow the negative to impact you. Sometimes... all it takes to turn things around is a new perpective. :)

Twenty days till Christmas, CRAZY!!!

A little Christmas Coffee

Today was awesome. That's the only way to describe it. I got up late, went shopping with Lauren, saw my college's performance of A Christmas Carol (The Musical), went out to dinner with some friends, and then went out for some coffee (Hot chocolate for me, I don't actually like coffee)!
Here is a picture with my band banquet date, Scott.

We were feeling goofy. And yes, that is real snow on the tree behind us. We've had flurries all day. It was so beautiful! 

A Box and a Bow

Gotta leave my apartment soon to go support one of my favorite non-profit organizations, Freedom 4/24,
but I wanted to post my picture first. Aka, I'm tired and once I get back from downtown I will be crashing. Then I've got HUGE plans tomorrow so I definitely need sleep. And Jesus. I always need a little more Jesus. :)
Maybe that's who's underneath all this wrapping paper.

Picture # 234

Haha this picture kind of makes me think of someone really sketch trying to sell something even sketchier... What do you think, how could I have done better?

Mirror me!

Gotta get some homework done, but I have two pictures to post for today!

Picture # 233

Ooooo serious reflection time. Almost complete missed that the mirrors lined up perfectly to take a self-sustaining shot. Might have to re-visit this place again to experiment when I have more time.

And here's Mason and I, fighting for attention.

Mason (scroll down for past pictures of/from Mason) is trying to break into the stock photography world so I was helping him (and vice versa I guess) out with a photo shoot this afternoon. It was ridiculous. 

Video is live!!!

Ok, so I'm still going to post my picture of the day later on (I'm about to go on a photo shoot with Mason actually) but I just uploaded the video I shot yesterday and wanted to give you guys a first look. Just click on the title. Enjoy!

Ive got the best date to Band Banquet

25 days till Christmas!

Where has my time gone?! Life is just flying by me, and I've heard it only goes faster. This semester is almost over and I still have so much that I want to do! Sad times.
Anyway, had a video shoot today, starring little ol' me and the lovely Brittney! Almost done editing it, I should finish sometime tomorrow hopefully. I'll definitely post a link on here then. I also went on a girl date with my good friend Emily, where we talked for over an hour in a book store and just got to catch up. That is the number one thing I miss about the dorms. Is I could always grab a girl and chat if something was up, but now it's much harder with most of the girls that I trust are off leading very busy lives.

Picture # 232

...Yes, I realize we are not facing the camera, but I love how this turned out! The total oppositeness (Yup, oppositeness) in this photo just makes me happy I guess. But, I'm also going to post another one just because Brittney's adorable face deserves to be seen!
