My Wonderful Homecoming Weekend:)

Wow, this was a busy, full and fun weekend. It started friday when my classes were canceled... YAY! so friday afternoon i relaxed and watch a movie with a blanket on a cold day. Then friday night I had my art photography show from Europe. I was asked to speak about my trip for the visitors and then we showcased our pieces. I was so blessed that so many people came to see me and the show. Kyle, Abi (she brought me flowers too:) ), nate, Jacob, Jacobs girlfriend Sarah, Jordan and his friend Ryan, Kyles brother and his dad, My roomie, and a bunch of my good friends, it was amazing to have so much support! The coolest thing happened too, i actually sold art!!! my first, second and third sell ever!!! it was so exciting. the pictures that sold were the framed one of the poppies and the church and the framed picture of the inside of St. Peters and a small 5x7 print. Not only did i sell three pieces, but later today i got a request for 2 more! i am so excited! Everyone was very supportive and sweet! I think most peoples favorite is the inside of St. Peters, titled "Majestic Rays". Anyway, after that Kyle's whole fam and I went to italian food and had a yummy dinner. later, Kyle came over and watched a movie with me, which was really great, cause its been a while since we just got to be together, just us.

Laci (my roommates old roommate), my other roommates two sisters AND and Katie Beth came this weekend to stay... we had a very full house, 6 people... but it was so great to get to see my kate and visit with her again, we needed some cousin time, even if just for a few hours over a few days.

Then, saturday was so wonderful. We had the best start to the day ever. Kyle's littlest brother Collin was baptized at Jacobs dream. It was such a blessing to get to be apart of Collins baptism and celebrate in that with their family! Im so proud of him, he's an amazing kid and i have a lot of fun with him. Then after that I had a choir concert that was really good and fun. then we said goodbye to Kyle's family (except Collin, he got to stick around for another night). The three of us met up with Jordan, Abi, Nate, Jacob, Sarah and Pete for the homecoming game... we of course won by almost 30 points! we are 7 and 0!!! GO WILDCATS!!!! then I relaxed by myself at home for a few hours and worked on some homework. Then in the evening Kyle and Collin came over to watch a movie. It was a lot of fun just relaxin' and hangin' out, Im glad Collin got to be here.

It was a really great weekend and i'm looking forward to only having a 4 day week this week cause of fall break... yay:)

Not much here... Sorry its been a while

Im sorry its been so long. its just that there's not too much to report on, same old thing for the most part. just going to classes everyday, making random trips all over the place like to Fort worth and Austin for interior design conferences and field trips, hanging out with my great roomie, and getting ready for my study abroad art shows.

Kyle is good, really busy, but we expected that at least until he takes the LSAT on dec 8th. We try to hang out everyday and spend any time we can together. We have homecoming and my art show this coming friday and the following weekend (the 31st) is fall break and Kyle and I will go together to Waco to visit Baylor and then to visit UT Austin. He's really excited about everything and i am super excited for him. I know he'll do really well on his LSAT and get to go to a really great Law school.

I am missing home, especially the fall. Its cooler here every once in a while and when it is, i savor it! well, i don't have much more to report on, but i will post pictures from my show next week.

A Needed Weekend Rest

Well, this weekend Kyle is gone. He left with his best friend Kevin on thursday to go and check out the University of Utah's Law school. They left about 2pm on thursday and got there 7am on friday. They checked into their hotel and within two hours, they were sitting in a law class and visiting with professors there... i'm sure they were ready to get some sleep at that point!

Anyway, I finished up classes and homework this week and then we had family night at Abi's house. Scott, jordan, Pete, Ani, Nate, Jacob and Sara, Jacob's New girlfriend came. we had lots of fun. Tomorrow we have a girls day planned. Abi, my roomie and I will probably go shopping and watch a girly movie together and I am very excited. It should be a good relaxing weekend.
