Manda’s Graduation and Graduation Party

My baby sister is ALL grown up.  On May 18th, she graduated from high school!!

The next day, I threw her a party.  Through a few tears and a lot of sweat, everything turned out great.  There was food from a grill, a balloon pit, a streamer wall for pictures, and table all about her.

The balloons kept blowing out of the pit, so we had to use grandma’s quilts to cover the pit. Quite humorous!!

I guess should explain, that all of her presents are in the pit. 

After eating, she has to get into the pit and find her presents. 

All the guests get to laugh her while she bobs around in the balloons.

Everybody that came had their picture taken in front of the wall.

The balloon pit also made for some pretty cool pictures.

Finals Are Over and Summer Is HERE!!!!

I am so happy to say that summer is here!!! I have been looking forward to this since January.  Ha!!!  I have been really looking forward to this summer because it is my last summer as a college student.  Next summer when I graduate, I will be looking for a job much like my SIL.

That’s right.  Stephanie graduated this year!!!

After Steph’s graduation, we all loaded up and headed towards Hot Springs for some yummy Olive Garden.  Then, we all made a train back to Mena.  Tyler and I spent most of our time in Mena getting ready for my sister’s graduation and party and to spend some time with my mom.

One evening while we were all just hanging out, we decided to do some shooting at targets.  Can’t deny that we have a little country in our blood.  :)

In my next blog, I hope to have Manda’s graduation party post ready. 

Tyler turns 23 tomorrow.  Is it just me or do all females have trouble shopping for men?  I am always a last minute shopper when comes to Tyler because I never know what he wants.

I decided to leave y’all with a picture of a Polk County sunset.  Ain’t it purty?

What I’m Lovin’ Right Now

Summer is 2 finals away!!! Can I get an AMEN?!?!  Of course during July, I am taking two summer classes.  That’s gonna be fun.

Anyhoo…

This is what I’m loving right now…

1.  The hubs has this whole Eric Church thing going on, and it’s kinda sexy. ;)

2.  A good deal.  I got these little beauties for $4.99.  I sure can’t pass up a deal like that.  Of course, the first time I wore them they left me with some pretty awesome blisters, but I will have them broke in soon.  :)

3.  Sno cones!!! There is little place in Caddo Valley set up right now, and I am loving their wedding cake sno cone.  I have already had 4, and summer hasn’t even really started yet. 

4.  Sunsets and rainbows. 

5.  Watching the hubs enjoying C’s car.  C was down for a nap, and Ty wanted to see if he could fit.  LOL!!!

6.  Staying comfy in summer clothes.  Don’t get me wrong, I love to get all gussied up and go out, but this week is finals week.  I’m lucky if I comb my hair. The last two days I have worn shorts and a t-shirt, and I have loved it!!!7.  Finals are almost over!!!!  I have really only had one final that I have HAD to study for, and it’s the one I have tomorrow.  Honestly, I should be studying right now.  When I got home today, I studied for about an hour and a half.  Then, Ty and I spent about 2 1/2 hours in Pizza Hut and around town.  Good times!!

2 weeks ‘till SUMMER!!!

Wow the time has been flying by.  I have one more week of classes and then finals!!! I cannot believe summer is almost here, and I almost have the whole summer break off.  I am taking two summer classes in July, which I’m not really looking forward to.  I am also planning Manda’s graduation party in May.  I am planning a girls canoe trip in June. 

On Friday, I went to my first dietetics conference.  It wasn’t half bad.  I got to miss a full day of classes.  At the conference, I got a bunch of free stuff as well.  I had to get up pretty early, and that was no fun.  When I got home, I went to bed pretty early.

Yesterday, I got to have an awesome girls day with Steph and my mother-in-law.  We spent the day in Hot Springs shopping.  I couldn’t think of a better way to spend a Saturday.  I got the cutest pair of leopard print flats for $4.99.

I really haven’t been up to much more.

I hope everybody has a great rest of the weekend.

What I’ve been up to…

Well, I have been pretty MIA recently. Sorry to those few that read this blog.  Since I am so far behind, I am just going to put a bunch of pictures on here with captions.  Here goes nothing. 

Tyler and I went fishing on the weekend of Easter.  Tyler got the first catch of the day.

This was just one of my catches.  He was a little booger.

I did end up catching the biggest fish that day.  I also got a sexy farmers’ tan.

A girl couldn’t ask for a better Saturday.

On Sunday, I decided to cut up the turkey.  Scary at first, but I did awesome job (me tooting my horn).

Last Tuesday, I got a new scholarship.  It was just a little one, and I had to go to two award ceremonies.

Last Friday, after a great dinner with dad, Manda, Macen, Tyler, and I drove out to the Blow Hole. 

It this pretty cool place at the base of a lake’s dam.  The culvert pictured above shoots out water and air.

Me and my sis just a sittin’ on culvert.

Can you tell my pants’ legs are blowing in the air???

The hubby and I. :)

I was trying to get a picture of my hair blowing.

Tyler thought he would help get me closer to the opening of the culvert.

I couldn’t let go of the culvert though because it was too scary. 

Then, we had the smart idea to hike up the dam side and look at the other side.

Surprise! Surprise! It’s a lake!!!

Still made for a good picture and story.

I almost ended up rolling down the hill on the way down.

My sweet hubs is so SWEET.  He sent me this text one day while he was working. 

I love that song!!     

I took this picture the other day at school.  I was the first one to class and got a little bored and lonely. 

In other news…

My baby sister had her senior prom last week.  Hopefully, I can get some of those pictures up soon.  She was absolutely beautiful!!!

School has been CRAZZZYYY!!!  I am counting down the days until summer.  I turned in 2 big projects on Wednesday.  I have a test tomorrow and probably the biggest project yet due on Tuesday.  Going to be a fun next couple days.    

A Little Weekend Wrap-Up!!

So, I went home this past weekend for one main reason.  I was getting the chance to see my baby sister’s senior pictures.  I can’t believe she is old enough to have senior pictures!!!!!  After we had spent an hour and half picking out our favorites, I was in the mood for some fishing.  Manda and I got out our one fishing pole out and tried to find some worms.  Macen showed up with another pole;  we gathered up our worms and walked to the closest pond on dad’s land.  We spent about fifteen minutes there.  Manda spent most of the time trying to catch a giant tadpole.  Then, we walked to another pond.  Then, we gave up on fishing and walked down to the creek.  There we spent some time catching some rays.

On Sunday after church and lunch, I came back home to the Delph.  I had a friend invite me over for fried deer steak and turkey meat.  It was so yummy.  Before I left, my friend’s boyfriend fixed me a to go tubberware.  I had the leftovers today for lunch.  I think it was even better than the night before.  I almost chipped my tooth on this little find.  Wild game is so much to eat!! You never know whatcha gonna get!!!

I got of school today at 3:30.  Then, I had some errands to run.  By the time I got home, a storm was a brewing.  When I got the last of the groceries upstairs, the sky broke loose.  For the past 2 hours, I have been sitting at the computer fixing some homework.  I am done.  I am bought to call it quits on being productive and finish watching the ACMs I recorded last night.

Monday’s over!!!
