Catching up!

I was reading Clint and Larissa's adorable picture blog about Maylee's first solid food meal and I got a little shock when I realized that it has been 3 weeks since I last posted! So much has happened that I feel it best to describe it in pictures with a bit of commentary to go with it. Sorry if this is long but hopefully it will catch everyone up on what has happened in the past weeks.

First I shall start with the weekend of Texas Motor Speedway where I worked the full four days (minus a small break for school on Sat morning) and dealt with crazy NASCAR fans while living in my cubicle. I don't have pictures which is why I started there.


These pictures are from my sorority's (Sigma Alpha) participation in something UNT does every year called Shack-a- thon. The purpose is to raise awareness for the homeless by devising fully cardboard shacks to live in for 3 days. There is also cups placed for each group to "vote" for the best by giving loose change. This is our first year to attempt a shack and we did amazingly well. We were one of the best out there and gave ourselves a good name amongst the other sororities, fraternities, and school groups.




This is from before the NASCAR weekend (maybe I should have started with this...) when me and Matt went to the Reunion Tower to celebrate our 3rd year anniversary. We ate an appetizer and a delicious chocolate souffle together, and while it was pricy, we got a great view and a fun memory.


I gave Matt tickets to go see Relient K at Six Flags for our anniversary, and we had a great time! We were late arriving due to the paper route and needing sleep, but we had fun when we got there. Our seats were front row on the right side of the stage and the lead singer from Relient K walked on a side stage right next to us! It was another amazing concert from one of our favorite bands.

Last, but not least, this last Saturday some friends, David, and I went to go paintball at a nearby farm. I don't have pictures of us actually going paintballing, but I do have the bruise to show for it. After, with much cleaning up and driving, David, his friend Connair, my friend Emily, and I went to the Rangers game against Kansas City Royals. While our team did not win =( we still had a fun time and really got some great seats on the lower level. The pics will be up as soon as I get home to finish uploading.

I hope you enjoyed my photos and that this finally catches me up to where I need to be. Larissa posted pictures from Easter, and I had a fun day of helping Maylee "read" one of her new books, hanging out with Matt, playing games with the family, and going to see Hannah Montana with Lizzy and Larissa. It was a fun day as well! I'm sorry again for the length, but I have posted and now its everyone else's turn to catch up!
