Boxing, Candy, & New Years too

It’s only the first month of the year,
but January has already been
jam packed.

There was New Years,
a day trip to Little Rock,
lots of basketball games,
a trip to Arizona,
a few lazy days,
and just some good old fashion fun.

Here’s most of it in photos.
Duh.

New Years.

So yeah,
that was fun.

Wonder what February will bring?

Thirty? Thirty.

This was the year.
The year that I crossed over.
To the dark side.
And into my thirties.

I must admit,
I had been dreading it
all through my 29th year.

Now that I’ve made the leap
and joined the club,
I have to say
that the countdown
was the hard part
and now I’m actually
excited about 30.

I seriously celebrated
all week.
But here are some photos
from just Friday night.

We went to the
Ozark Corn Maze
and then out on the town.

Thank you to everyone
for such a warm welcome
to the big 3-0!

GL(who’s a high school teacher)
had her class make me this poster.
So cute!
And quite hilarious
when you read it up close.

It was a day that we counted down to for months.
It was a game that we should have won.
Sadly, it was a game that we lost.

Despite the immense disappointment
the excitement that surrounded the game
was incredible.

Here’s the fun we had
supporting our Hogs.
Win or lose.

The excitement invaded the whole weekend.
With friends in from out of town
and a party at Jill & Ben’s.

And on to the game!
Woke up bright & early
to eat sausage balls
and tailgate.

And his intense love for the Arkansas Razorbacks.

Todd & most of my friends

But a few of us girls
walked over to Smoke & Barrel
to eat our cupcakes, drink a beer, & watch it on the big screen.
