Startin Off Right


The weather has officially shifted from chilly to perfect & we’ve been taking full advantage of it. The front of our house has gotten a makeover, lots of playing with our new pup, get-togethers with friends, lots of wedding celebrations, & even a lil’ picnic on campus Sunday afternoon. Here are a few shots from the last week (just click ’em to enlarge).

I’m long overdue for an update, so here one is. The summer fun is over & now I’m a month into the semester taking 16 hours. Classes are ok.. two writing courses (one dealing with Public Relations, the other being more reading than actual writing), Marketing, German, and Biological Anthropology. All my time hasn’t been spent studying though – here’s just a peek at what else I’ve been up too..

The most exciting thing is that I have a new little sister! Lilah Caroline Reese Mcgregor was born a little less than a month ago. She’s so beautiful!

So teeny.

After a trip to Jonesboro to visit the new family addition, a group of us enjoied a wonderful French meal cooked (and instructed) by Laura.

Afterwards, we saw Dr. Dog play a free show.

It’s fair time again..

That last picture was for my friend Seth‘s MySpace Photo Challenge. Check it out & play along!

That’s for now. I’ll update sooner next time & might even start posting videos, since I just bought my first video camera!

Till then..

Caravans and Cauldrons

Thursday night, Cathy and The Fiances (the name of our do-whop group, if we ever decide to have one) drove over to Little Rock for a night of big rock. American Princes had their CD release show and The Good Fear opened, so us girls decided to follow ’em down. After missing two out of the two interstate exits that we had to take to find the show AND dodging a cracked out guy who persisted that he “was not a robber,” we ladies got there just in time for tequila shots and the begining of the show.


Taken!

The (Damn) Good Fear

After the show we walked over to this old abandoned house, well, frame of a house. Brian and Tim jumped the fence and explored, while the rest of us just stood back and snapped grainy pictures in the dark. After a 1:30 am trip to Taco Bell, our four-car caravan ended up at a pricey Holiday Inn where with a sink full of Busch Light, things got a little crazy (especially with Cathy’s hair straightener).


All the dudes got their hair did & proceeded to take “MySpace band photos”

Bongos

The next day we found every kind of food we could imagine at some sort of indoor market downtown. After a nice little picnic by the river, we hunted down a record store, a witch boutique (?), and finally the city’s art museum. By the time we were fully recovered from the night before, we were on our way back to the ‘Ville.

I have been taking so many pictures, I can’t keep up with myself.

A short recap of the week:
School keeps getting more and more intense. However, I was one of the few to test out of my Journalism writing course, so now I get to sleep late every Thursday for the rest of the semester.
The Canadian Tuxedos won their first softball game!
Finally got around to selling another round on Ebay.
Got a new dress (see above).
Went to Kansas City… again.
Had girls night for the first time in forever…

Just a few of the pictures from that night.
(Somehow we ended up with free shots, bottles of wine, and a kitten on our table.)
