my new obsession: Pinterest

I have successfully found something in.cred.ible. to distract me from studying. Lovely.

If you're not familiar with Pinterest I suggest you read this to it's entirety and soak in the goodness I'm going to tell you about. Pinterest is an application connected to facebook and twitter. How it works is you log in with your account information and begin to look through a mass amount of pictures. These pictures can range from DIY projects, to a good recipe, or even photography of different places in the world. You create boards on your profile and pin the pictures you like to your board. It's the same thing as bookmarking a page from the internet. This enables you to go back and look at all those neat ideas anytime you'd like! It's your own personal scrapbook of fun places, people and things!

If you like to cook you can make a 'Recipes' board and pin pictures of food or recipes of delicious dishes. 
Two bundt cakes stacked on top of each other plus some orange frosting makes for a great Pumpkin Cake!!


Peanut Butter and Jelly Sushi rolls!


Perhaps you are always wanting to travel to different parts of the globe. There are breathtaking photos of different hidden treasures in the world. I'd loveee to be able to float this river in Indonesia.


Maybe you just got engaged and you need some creative wedding ideas. Look no more! You can plan your entire wedding just by pinning pictures.


Maybe you're a new parent (Jill and Trevor) or you're expecting (Stephanie and Mary Elizabeth). You can find so many cute ideas for nursery's and endless ideas of fun things to do with your kids when they are older. 
Put food coloring in water bottles and you have a fun and safe game of bowling. If you put glow sticks in it you will have glow in the dark blowing for night!




















  














If you're a fashionista there are pages among pages of complete outfits put together to give you ideas before you hit the mall.

























As you can see, the list goes on and on of what you can pin. Now you understand why it's such a distraction. You should definitely check it out and find things that you love!!


Happy Pinning!

it's all downhill from here

A little recap since the last post....There are pictures at the end for those of you who don't like to read.

PCAT: I took the PCAT in July. I did about average. I'm taking it again on September 28th and need to raise my score a few points in order to be accepted. All prayers appreciated.

RUSH: We made it through Recruitment 2011!! I'm so proud of the 134 Baby Kappas we gave bids to! I loved every minute of working with Holly Hilburn and Erin Warden. Our president Chelsey Gilbreth was hands down the best prez ever and we made her an honorary member of "The Trio." The air conditioner kept going out everywhere we went and some nights I slept 1.5 hours. But every bit of it made me grow closer to my chapter and really appreciate the sisterhood that we have. Cheesy yes but memorable none the less.

SENIOR YEAR: I started my senior year. Few things make me emotional, but looking back on the past 3 years I honestly can't help but feel overwhelmed with emotions. It's hard grasping the fact that this is my last year in Fayetteville. I will hopefully go on to Pharmacy School next year meaning I have to say goodbye to this place I have called home.

ROOMIES: Last April when Maggie Jo Pruitt, Kate Phillips and I decided to be roommates, the only things I knew about these girls were their names, hometown, and majors. Now after spending a month together I can say I have never seen God orchestrate a more perfect combination of roommates. So far we haven't let a day go by without engaging in deep spiritual conversations. Every time someone asks me what it's like rooming with two sophomores, I tell them I couldn't have picked two better girls to share my senior year with. They challenge me, encourage me, and most of all distract me from studying. It's going to be a great year in the 207.

DATE DASH: I had my 'last' first function! I met Jessie Green last year when I invited him to our date dash so it was only fitting I ask him to the same function to celebrate our 1 year anniversary of being friends. The theme was Opposites Attract. We went as texting and driving. 

PEP RALLY: I painted my entire body blue. Probably the first and last time I do that. Kappa apparently got disqualified. Sometimes I think they forget to tell us all the rules because they secretly don't want us to dominate like we did my freshman year. But that's just my opinion. Maybe we really weren't as loud. We'll get em next time!

FOOTBALL: The season has officially started! I loooove my Razorbacks and can't wait for us to win the National Championship this year. You think I'm kidding, but I'm not. With the devastating loss in the Sugar Bowl last year, there's really no way to determine how this season will turn out. But no matter how our team performs, I became a Razorback fan when I was in the womb, and I will continue to be one til the day I die.

All our hard work paid off. 134 baby Kappas.


Date Dash. We made our costumes in 10 minutes. I'm a car (that's supposed to be a steering wheel) and he is a phone.

Kappas love the Hogs.
