The FBC youth group recently returned from their annual choir tour. This year, they went to Chicago. Jealous. Choir tour was always SO much fun for me. I developed the best friendships over those 8 days each summer, and will never forget all the fun and sweet memories. During my high school years, we went to Washington, D.C., Canada, Miami, and Vermont. No matter where the tour was, it was a blast.

I'm gonna be honest for a second... Jessica and I always said that we felt so cool being a part of choir tour because people thought that WE could actually sing. Yeahhhhh if only they could hear the noise that was coming from my mouth. When someone would tell us, "You sounded great!!," our little hearts would fill with joy.

Well guys, guess what! We FBC college students are about to have the opportunity to feel like we have angelic voices once more..... Yes, THEY'RE STARTING A COLLEGE CHOIR! It's only going to last until early August, but word on the street is that we'll be having a mini choir tour. To say the least, I'm pumped. Call me cheesy but anything that helps me relive my youth makes me happy. Olivia, Jessica, Claire, Kristen and I are ready to start rehearsals!!

Don't worry, I will be sure to keep each of you posted on the dates of our performances and how many solos I have. I'm thinking 5.

Yeeeeeee can't wait!!

Bonding With Brothers

Will leaves for his last choir tour tomorrow, and his 19th birthday is on Monday, so we went to dinner to celebrate! If you haven't been to Cantina in the Alley Bar downtown, CHECK IT OUT! The food was actually very good. It was crowded, but the atmosphere was great.

[Who knew Montgomery had a Haunted Hearse Tour? Not I. It takes you on an hour tour of all the haunted places in the city. DON'T think I'll be taking that one.]

After dinner, the brothers and I had a liiiittle too much fun with Mom's camera. Today at lunch (at Derk's), Jessica, Phillip, and I discussed eye colors for about 15 minutes. SOOO, we took some eye pics. And others. Just in case you are REAL bored, here's some pictures from our lame Friday night.

Start of Summer

Ummm sorry... I guess I forgot I had a blog for a month or so. But I'm back!! for now at least... 

Quick recap of this summer:

1. Finished up my 4th semester of college and moved out of the Village and back to Montgomery.

2. Slept for about a week.

3. Went to my first real Braves game!

4. Had my first Lake Martin weekend of the year.

5. Ate lunch around Montgomery with Phillip every day for a week. We also went to see Thor and Pirates of the Carribbean.

6. Will Graduated!!

7. Spent Memorial Day weekend at the lake.

8. Watched the first season of Glee!

9. That's all......

I have been spending way too much time at home, doing absolutely nothing. SOOO if any moms out there are reading this, I'd be more than happy to babysit for you! Just give me a call!

Hope everyone's having a wonderful summer!

The End Is Near

My room is officially bare. My mom and brothers drove up this afternoon to help me move out. I had everything ready to go, just needed a massive car to put it in. How I fit SO much junk into a tiny, tiny room, I will never know. I'm just glad the miserable part is over with. All I'm left with is my bedding and curtains, one suitcase of clothes and toiletries, and a lamp.

Waaaaaay back in August, I moved into Oak Hall in the Village. This place has been good to me. I'll be sad to see it go, but guess what.... I'll be back here next year! (just one building over).

[My little dorm room when I first moved in]

Two more exams to go, and summer will be aaaaallllll mine. Good news! I got a 97 on my Biology exam which gave me an A in the class! Sure wasn't expecting that! Dr. Lishak, my biology professor, is truly the best teacher I've ever had. He made each lecture so interesting and worth-while. I'm sad that I won't get to go listen to him every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:00 to 9:50 anymore! Oh well, life goes on. Big thanks Lishak for making my day!!

[I feel ya kid!!]

Tha Weekendd

I'm gonna go ahead and get this post out of the way before I get too deep into my studies... No distractions tonight!

I went home Thursday afternoon, only planning on staying one night. That didn't happen. It's Sunday, and I just got back to Auburn. 

Will had his last soccer game on Thursday night and I was so glad that I got to go! They tied, but still played great. I feel so close to Will's friends in that senior class, and it's so sad to me that they're graduating!! I feel too old.

My cousin Lauren, her husband Joey, and their two boys, Lendon and Collin stayed with us this weekend. Their house was right in the path of one of the tornados this week and they won't have power for who knows how long. It was so fun having them there! That's probably the main reason why I stayed home so long. Joey played in Rites of Spring at MCC, so we hung out there all day Saturday..... and I got a liiiiitttttttttle too much sun.. Whatev. So glad y'all came!

Speaking of MCC.... I can't wait to go there tons this summer. I've never enjoyed a pool so much in my life. I didn't get in the water because it was negative 20 degrees, but just soaking up the sun was perfect. Also, they literally have the best lemonade I've ever had. Thursday night Bingo is already calling my name!

[Twitpic... Excuse my nasty scar]

Today was Senior Sunday at FBC. I kinda got carried away with taking pictures, but I definitely don't care. It was fun seeing who all was graduating that goes to my church, and see where everybody was going to college. Auburn was definitely a top choice, as usual! War Eagle.

Weeeeeeeell, it's time to go study. I'm about to head to a Calculus III review. This will be the first time I've looked at it. My exam is tomorrow at 12. Serious prayers needed.... Mainly for my ability to focus!
