It's a love story.

This weekend was jam packed with productivity and fun! On Friday I went to Atlanta to stay at my parents house because on Saturday morning Maggie and I were meeting Liz in Sandy Springs to try on wedding and bridesmaid dresses! Unfortunately I thought it would be a good idea to stay up until 4 AM and then wake up at 9. I was wrong. Be that as it may, we had a great time trying on dresses. 
Liz found a beautiful dress that fits her personality perfectly. It was so crazy watching her try on wedding dresses. I had to keep reminding myself that we weren't just playing dress up or trying on debutant dresses but that she is actually going to wear this dress in her WEDDING! Wow, I feel old. While Liz was getting measured and whatnot Maggie, Amanda and I headed downstairs to check out the bridesmaid dress selection. Liz had very vague ideas about color and style but pretty much told us to pick out whatever we liked and then we would all assess the choices. After Liz was done with measurements we all four tried them on to model for each other. We ended up loving the one dress both Liz and I originally thought we weren't going to like. As soon as Maggie put it on everyone immediately agreed it was perfect. We got all our measurements taken and then decided it was time for a quick lunch a Teela Taqeria before I had to rush back to Athens for the football game. 
Originally I wasn't too thrilled about driving back and forth from Atlanta to Athens and missing the Auburn Gameday tailgate but it was so great getting to see Liz and I'm so glad I got to share in this day with her. I used to get annoyed when people would say "everything happens for a reason" but when I look around at my group of friends I start to realize that it must be true. Before coming to UGA I had never heard of Sigma Kappa and I was dead set on being Chi O. Likewise, Sigma Kappa had never heard of me and how I managed to slip through the cracks all the way to bid day is still a mystery. It's weird to think that I was upset on bid day because I didn't know anyone and I thought I would be all alone for the next four years. Little did I know at the time, there were 4 other girls on the lawn that day who would eventually become my roommates, my best friends, my future bridesmaids, and my family. Together Emily, Elizabeth, Maggie, Maggie, and I have spent countless hours laughing, crying, vegging, trying to work off our vegging, swapping clothes, talking about school boys, studying, complaining about studying boys, and figuring out just who it is we wanted to be. Who knew that so much could change in 4 years? Liz - who never had time or patience for a "boyfriend" - is getting married. And Emily - who once almost burned down her parents house trying to use the stove - is having a baby! I can't wait to watch Liz and Isaac get married and I'm so excited for all the surprises awaiting us in the next chapter of our lives.
