friends.

It has been a while since my last post! I have been so so busy and trying to stay calm and not stress out....key word being trying! But while it has been really busy with school, it has been awesome! If you know me at all, you know that I always try to make time for my friends. Sometimes I make to much time! ;) But seriously, how can you say no to hanging out with such awesome people?! The answer: you can't! :)
Yesterday was the last day of class for the week so it is officially Thanksgiving Break right now!! YAY!!

My break has been so awesome so far! I have been able to see all of my closest friends from Chanute (minus Riggsey who is in France...I miss you lots Erin!) as well as my good friend who is currently living in Colorado Springs this week...and it's only Wednesday! Monday night after work I went and picked up Stefanie and her friend who made the trip with her and headed to the Chi Alpha house! Us and some housemates made a quick trip to Coldstone. We had to take two vehicles to fit everybody so we were supposed to race there....Taylor kind of cheated though and left before everybody was in my car. No worries though....we still won! ;) Ok...maybe not but the people in my car were inside of Coldstone first so I think that counts for something! And then of course instead of ice cream I chose Starbucks since it is conveniently located right by Coldstone! :) Pumpkin spice latte's are one of my favorite things! Pretty much if you put anything pumpkin in front of me, I'm gonna love it! We spent the rest of the night talking and hanging out....it was the last night most of my housemates would be at the house. Some had already left. It is never the same here during breaks....a big quiet empty house is what is left. Sad.

But...last night it was ok because Amanda, Kiley and Cassie came and spent the night with me!! :) We ate at Olive Garden...actually we ate breadsticks, salad, and soup. By the time our food came we had to box it up because we ran out of time! We had a movie to get to! I finally got to see Breaking Dawn!! And it was even better getting to see it with them! The last time the four of us were together was probably when New Moon came out....Twilight movies just have a way of bringing us together! ;) Amanda came around two and we did some shopping and made a trip to Barnes and Noble where we ended up getting a coffee, reading a magazine...and yes it had something to do with twilight, the cover had a picture of edward and bella so of course we had to read it, and then we left! We got all excited and we had (yes....we HAD to!) go home and watch the first twilight movie! And after watching Breaking Dawn we came home and watched New Moon! Our night was all about Twilight! :) My favorite quote from the night: "I didn't see it there or I would of saw it!" hahaha. Let's play the guessing game...who do you think said that?! Amanda Cassie or Kiley?! :)

Thank you SO much for coming guys! I loved seeing you all!

I am so thankful for such awesome friends! I know I have said it before, and I know I will say it again but God has really brought some special people into my life! And there is nothing like getting together with old high school friends who you don't get to talk to or see very often! So much fun!

But now my friends are gone and now I must start on my homework. I just have to get through work tonight and I am off for the rest of the week! Tomorrow I will head to Gridley for Thanksgiving dinner, then on to Chanute! Can't wait to see my family!! :)

P.S. Sadly no pictures to add from last night. Some day (and hopefully soon) I will have a new camera and will have pictures to add. Pictures make everything better....especially when you aren't big in to reading. I would much rather look at pictures than read really long posts if I were you too! :)
