PROM!

Last weekend Sammi was back in Newport News for an admitted freshman event, but her senior prom was last Saturday night, so she went to the event on campus on Friday, and on Saturday she came to my apt to get her hair done, and then she went home. Her hair looked quite nice if I do say so myself. Here are a few of the pictures she sent me.






All of these pictures are from their family's farm. I love it there, it is beautiful.

Belated Easter weekend post

For Easter weekend, Jessby's little sister came and stayed the weekend with us. (Jessby and Sammi both stayed at my apt) We had a fabulous time. She got here on Thursday and stayed until Sunday. On Friday she went to class with us and then I took her to the mall to go prom dress shopping. She technically already had a dress but she was making sure that it was the best dress out there (it definatly was, everything at the mall here was crap). Instead of getting a dress we bought underwear (they were 7 for $25, how could we not buy them). Saturday we drove down to Kitty Hawk NC to visit their grandma (Meemaw), great aunt (Emily), aunt (Carlo), and uncle (Warren). They were all really nice, they took us out for a big breakfast, then we hung out at the dunes and on the beach all afternoon and they took us out for an early dinner before we drove back up to Newport News. Sunday Jessby had to work so Sammi and I hung out, lounged around in our pj's and had girl talk time.

Sammi and I were cold so we decided to use Jess to protect ourselves from the wind.

blogger spell check doesn't know the word "pouty"

A lack of comments is a little discouraging... but I'm just being pouty.

Proof that sometimes, I can take pretty pictures.

So back in August i started collecting blue and white wear. I think that it is absolutely beautiful, and have wanted to collect it for years. Yesterday I decided to photograph my collection that i have accumulated thus far. Enjoy.

I had a Martha moment......

More like a Martha week. I have been cooking, cleaning, baking, grocery shopping, doing laundry, decorating, and crafting all week. My roomie has been having a rough time so to love on her a little I surprised her by cleaning her entire room and doing all of her laundry.


I had a crafty moment when I left her a note.
The design on the envelope is inspired by a cover that we have on our love seat in the living room. After I decorated the envelope I was inspired to whip out my paint pen and add a little pazazz to a mirror that i bought back in January.


Just in case you didn't know, its really hard to photograph a mirror.

I spent the rest of my weekend cooking and baking. My pictures leave much to be desired but I'm working on it.

I made delicious corn salad, tomato, mozzarella, slices with basil red onion and home made balsamic vinaigrette, and grilled chicken, with fresh strawberries for desert ( i forgot to photograph the chicken)


On Sunday I made butter recipe cupcakes with rainbow chip icing, and last night I made London broil, fresh steamed green beans, and biscuits. It was delicious.

I cant believe that I only have three semesters left until I graduate! Scary to think that i'll be graduating a semester late and it still feels like it's snuck up on me. I've certainly come a long way since freshman year. I've finally got course registration down pat. (it only took me 5 semesters) i had a super organized spread sheet with all of the classes that i need to graduate, printed it out and highlighted the classes that i still need to take. had a great meeting with my advisor and should be all set to graduate December of 2010.

Only three semesters left!!!!

I cant believe that I only have three semesters left until I graduate! Scary to think that i'll be graduating a semester late and it still feels like it's snuck up on me. I've certainly come a long way since freshman year. I've finally got course registration down pat. I've got all my classes scheduled and they are only offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays , so i'll be nannying on Mondays and Wednesdays for a professor of mine who is currently pregnent due July 4th.

Fun, Laughs, Good Times.....

So, I intended to post the Sweet Charity pictures one ever few days. Although i've been been doing better about updating than i used to, i'm not doing as well as I would like. This is a bit of a cop out, but i'm going to post the rest of my sweet charity stuff all at once.






This last one is my baby. I made this dress from start to finish. Picked out the pattern, cut everything out, and i even altered it from the original pattern to make it suit the show.
