Mesa State Here I Come!!!

I am super excited to announce that I got my OFFICIAL WELCOME LETTER to Mesa State College in Grand Junction, Colorado today!!!! I'm so pumped to be able to experience someplace new. Yet, now that it is getting closer and that my official acceptance and welcome letter have arrived it is becoming that much more real that I will be going hundreds of miles away from home, to a place where I don't know a soul!! But that is half the adventure that I signed up for. Go Mavericks!!! :)

All Country Weekend!

Hello, Hello!

So, this weekend like most, seemed to just F-L-Y!

Friday night I went to the UWRF Rodeo, and watched college kids from all of the midwest compete. There were some nail-biting moments to say the least but overall I had a blast with my friends. (and got to see some pretty good looking cowboys!)

At the Rodeo

Then Saturday morning me and Miss Hannah Banana were up, bright and early, and on our way to her hometown for rest of the weekend. I spent my time "North of 8" celebrating our friends from school's 21st birthdays with them, by going out to dinner and to a local concert by The Dweebs! Super fun night, though it was a tat-bit-chilly to be at an outdoor concert! But us girls found dancing the night away helped us all to stay warm.

The Gang for the Night

Sunday, Hannah introduced me to Miss Payton...who has to be one of the cutest little girls in Polk County!!! The morning was spent in the barn, feeding calves and playing with the critters. The smell of cow-dung did give me a bit of a homesick feeling for my own family farm though. :(  Yet, after getting back to our country roots...our plan-of-attack WAS to snuggle in and cheer on the Packers, but...I guess living so close to Minneapolis the T.V. provider just assumes that we would much rather watch the Vikings get there bootys rocked, rather then watch our beloved Green and Gold! I beg to differ with that T.V. provider....but good news is the Pack racked up another victory!! GO-PACK-GO! And Hannah and I got to go get some yummy icecream at Burnett Dairy. :) haha Then it was time to pack-up all of our stuff and head back to home, to school.

Well, ya'll that was my exciting weekend...guess it's time to get back to the books!
Till next time---Hugs!

Catching Up...

Well guys here it is...my first shot at a blog post!!! Kinda exciting and nerve racking! :)

So guess I should start by filling ya'll in on what the new school year has brought me this far. I'll do a little list to get you all up to speed...

1.) Living in the dorms again this year, and loving it for the most part (minus how easy it is to get sick--that's cesspool living for ya) Here is a little preview of our "spacious abode":

2.) Before the heavy load of classes started, my two bestfriends and I decided to kick off the new school  year in style, and we got matching tattoos!! Branded for life, baby! :)

3.) After all the craziness was done...it was time for the real "fun" to start, classes! :S  And I am proud to report that even though I was a little guttsy this year and overloaded on credits, by taking 19....so far classes are going great.

4.) After I got the first week of classes under my belt...I went back to work and was re-united with my Menards Co-worker buddies!

And that in a nut shell pretty much brings ya'll up to speed. :)
