Breath of Fresh Air

Well, two months have passed and I have once again forgotten about blogging. For some reason it just doesn't seem to be something I am able to do consistently. Maybe it's because twitter, facebook, aim and texting are designed to be so quick and easy that I consider anything over a 5 minute update to be a novel of sorts.
Life in Athens is wonderful. I can't believe I am finally in my last semester of college. What a long road it has been, but how wonderful to finally see the end. This semester has already been packed full of activity but I am trying very hard to stop and enjoy moments of everyday. I feel like too often I get so caught up in what has to be done by tomorrow or next week that I fail to breathe in the joys of everyday things.
Today's breath of joy came when Allison and I went to the dog park with Freddie and Winnie and got to sit and talk for an hour while they played. It was nice to be outside and watch the dogs and for one hour not worry about anything academic. I know there is much to be done and that being busy is something I should be grateful for, but every once in a while it's so nice to just take one hour with a friend and pretend like the only thing that matters is your friendship and those adorable puppies.

Saw this today on Brittany's blog and thought it was super cool. Its sorta the perfect combination of my love for the beatles with my love for flow charts. 

Some Pretty Dresses

Obviously I can't put up pictures of Liz's dress before the wedding but looking through them with her was so fun so I decided to post some dresses that I think are really great.

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.

Meet Freddie.

So once again I have not been very good about blogging about my life. But, in my defense it's not like I'm doing anything that exciting so really no one is missing out. I can't believe its almost November already. First semester always seems to fly by.  Pretty much only two things have happened that are super exciting. I turned 23  and my roommate decided to co-raise a puppy for the guide dog foundation. This worked out well for me because I now have all the perks of a dog without having to worry about a long term commitment. Also, I got to meet Freddie - my 5 month old soul mate. We really love having him around and every Tuesday and Wednesday morning he and I have bonding time while I drink my cup of coffee and he plays with a bone. Then we like to go for a run. After our run, I do homework while Freddie takes a nap. Then I shower and he goes to wake up Allison. My life is beautiful.
