Catching Up

Since being back at school things have been a whirlwind! Honestly, I cannot believe that midterm is in just two weeks! These first weeks back have been wonderful.

When I moved in, I loved spending time with my wonderful roommates and my friends! It was so good to catch up with people and hear about their semesters/lives. Its nice to get back into the routine of classes and such too. I love my classes - all but one are in my major, and I am more thankful than ever that I decided to do an ICP (create my major)! I could not be happier with all that I am learning.

My roommates and I had a superbowl party, but we didn't even make it a fourth of the way through this rice krispy treat from Raegan's grandmother!

Rush was the first two weeks of January - talk about jumping into the fire! But it was fun to hang out with my fellow Tri Delts and talk to freshmen as they came through the rounds. Bid Day was so exciting!

The next weekend, I went to Charleston to see my brother! Roecker won an award at his military school; only one freshman from each company was selected, and he was chosen! I had not been to Charleston before, and I was excited to explore the city. Even more, I was excited to hang out with my brother! It was so neat to see the Parade and then meet a few of his friends. We went to dinner and then a movie that night. On Saturday, we wandered around Charleston on foot all day. It was perfect! I loved Charleston, and it was fun to explore it all with Roecker.

Last weekend was Big Sis Rev for my sorority, meaning that my little got a little! It was fun to spend the time with Angela preparing for our newest family member. I am so happy that Mary is my grand-little! She is absolutely wonderful, and I cannot wait to get to know her better! My Tri Delt fam cracks me up - we are a silly bunch, but I couldn't have picked a better family to belong to!

My sweet and beautiful little, Angela!

We are so excited to have Mary in our family!

This past weekend, I ended up going on the RUF Winter Conference. We were a small group representing my school, but we had a blast! I couldn't have imagined it being better! It was fun to get to know people that I hadn't known before. We hung out and hiked and danced. I got to play with some little kids during the afternoon, which I loved - sometimes I really miss being a nanny! It was a great time of rest, fellowship, and encouragement.

(We had just finished dancing in freezing temperatures - it was 12 degrees that night!)

Now its back to school - another week of classes ahead. Next weekend is Destination Unknown (a Tri Delt function), and spring break will be here before I know it!
