I am back!

Sorry I have been MIA for a while. School started back up and that means sorority life and Rush happened which means my life as an advisor got kicked back into overdrive! But I am so proud of my girls they got 13 girls which doesn't seem like much to some but that is a lot for us! To top off the craziness that IS new school year our sorority site that has everything on it has been going a bit haywire... But enough excuses here is what I am thrilled about:

It is Fall! Which is my second favorite season.  Winter is my favorite because I can breathe! I suffer from allergies and therefore I love winter because things are dead. Anyways, I am excited about all the season premieres happening right now. I enjoy watching tv. It is one of my things #sorrynotsorry 

I am also looking forward to the rich fall colors. Burgundy and deep plums so excited. And homecoming! That is going to be a fun day! What are yall looking forward to? 

Story time

So I have been thinking a lot about college and way back when since last weekend when I drove down to preform a wedding. So I figured I would tell y'all a hilarious story (to my friends and I) about my senior year... 

I was panicking AGAIN about graduating and leaving my lovely little apartment and friends and sisters and went to eat lunch with my big sis on her lunch break (loved that she got a job on campus) while I was waiting I saw a guy sitting in her office so I waited until she waved me in. It was one of out football players who was easily a foot taller and according to my little bro is on the offensive line. (Idk I just go with it) she introduced us and she and I left soon after. 

That evening I am driving with some friends and decided I needed to go to BCM last time I was freaking out it helped this time it would too! We walk in and it is CROUDED to say the very least. The girl I went with knows everyone so she we nt to make her rounds I went to quietly stand by a wall until we went in safely to our seats. Well she brought over the football player I met earlier that day. (I couldn't escape him?!) he goes "hey I met you! You're Shay!" Me: "we met but it is Amy not Shay..." Him: "I got 2 letters right..." I said okay I'll give you that and he promised to remember my name. After that we went to find a seat and because I am me we sat in the very back row and guess who ends up in the seat infront of us? That is right the footba player and his girlfriend. 

We go about singing and then it is time for the message. The speaker didn't have all his facts correct and I was attempting to quietly tell my friend "nope, okay that isn't right either, they did not that is how people today know which tribe they are from." 

Then he asked "what would you call my 14 year old daughter if she were in college?" Plenty of people answered "smart" "prodigy" "genius" 

Then there is me to my friend... "Jailbait." Apparently the football player had been leaning back to listen busted out laughing and got smacked by his girlfriend. Oops! 

Independence Day

July 4th

Do you know what your plans for the fourth are yet? I do! I also know have a vague idea about the next year. The 4th of July is my grandfather's birthday. Every year we drive an hour south to visit and eat steaks (the family) and rather chicken or a burger because I don't like steak. I always request Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes and I usually one if not both. 

I love getting to hangout with my family even though some years I am sad that I don't get to be with friends on the fourth celebrating. 

This year we are getting together 2 days once on the 4th for just the family and then the 5th for a surprise party for my grandfather with all of his friends from church and the community. I am rather excited because this means I get to wear an outfit that will be seen by more than the immediate family! So I have been on the lookout for about a month for an outfit and now only have a bout a week left. If you see anything please leave a comment for me! Anything is helpful! :)

Weekends and weddings

I was the officiant at a wedding this past weekend. I am so happy for my little sis and the sorority sweet heart! Congrats you two! 

Yes those are ducks! The bride is OBSESSED with rubber duckies! I got those for her right after she announced her engagement. I didn't think she would use them on the cake.
