Easter's on it's way.

I don't know why, but every year when Easter rolls around, I always get the biggest laugh out of this photo. It never fails to make me smile or laugh out loud. 

I can't believe Easter is this weekend. It's snuck up on me. I've been seeing the candy it the stores for weeks but it donned on me today that Easter is this Sunday! 

 

This weekend is also the weekend two years ago my uncle Jonathan married Megan. I honestly never thought that he would get married. He just didn't seem like he'd be that type of person. I guess when you find the one anything can happen. Here's a picture of them on their wedding day.

Such a cute couple. I don't think the smiles left their faces that whole day. Infact...I'm pretty for sure they're still smiling. Congrats on the 2 year mark!

Somethings Never Change...

Today, I joined some of my fellow Phi Mu sisters in the time old tradition known as Greek Sing. What is Greek Sing you ask? Greek Sing is an event where sororities and fraternities sing and dance to music, changing the lyrics to incorporate things relating to their group and other greek members. I've been an alumni since 2006, and this year I was determined NOT to miss it. Now over the past 2 years I haven't really participated in too many events. I always go to homecomings but that was about it. I'm trying to make a better effort at being an alumni supporter. This year their theme was...the 80's. Where...the Keith Albee.

Today as soon as I walked into the Keith Albee, I became surrounded by the Marshall Greek community. It brought back so many memories, good and bad. It brought back the hours and hours of practice, dancing, singing and preparing for greek sing (which for those of you who don't know...is the crown jewel of greek week). Participating in every sport even if had never played it before that day, wearing letters every day of the week, washing your number shirt each day before another event, staying up till the wee hours of the night making signs. Those are just a few of things that go on during greek week. I remember lots of stress and being tired. What I remember most though is the fun, crazy times that occurred during not only those greek weeks but throughout all my years in Phi Mu. 

So today as I sat there watching all of them, I couldn't help but realize that somethings will NEVER change. The people and places may be different but all the elements are still the same. The frats are still burning things, the girls are still calling them out in song and the love/hate relationships are still there as well. I'll never forget the people who were in my life during that time. When I think about it, I look back and smile. 

New Job & R&R

As each day passes, I get closer and closer to the things that make me smile....

I'm starting my new job, in about 10 days. I'm really looking forward to it. I'm actually putting my degree to use and will be doing something in that field. Plus, hello... government benefits! I got really good news from this yesterday. I was originally going to drive back and forth everyday from Huntington to Charleston but they offered to reserve a room at the Marriott for me. Yay! Now I won't have to get up so early and I won't have to make the hour drive twice a day. I'll come home on the weekends. It's only two weeks so it shouldn't be that bad. 

Ahhh, I'm so ready for me to be in the car on the way to vacation. I pray that everything works out. I've been making deals with God everyday haha. You know you've done that too! I try not to worry about it but it's so important not to. I'll find myself sitting around watching tv, but not really watching it. I start thinking about everything going on in my life and completely forget what I'm suppose to be watching... oops.

 Alright, I need to actually start my day and get things done. Have fun!
