Crazy old cat lady. Rosie the Riveter. Happy Halloween y'all!

So I got to dress up in two different costumes this year! Tuesday night, my dorm trick or treated throughout the building and it was so much fun! I dressed up as a crazy old cat lady. Then on Wednesday, I went to the trunk party as Rosie the Riveter. (We can do it!!) Then went to James' house and watched The Ring. All around, it was a fun Halloween!

Spent a few days in the hospital.

So Thursday night, the pain that has been in my head spread to my entire body. It became so severe that I was admitted to the hospital Friday night. It's Monday now, and I get to go home tomorrow. I had lots of visitors, Cassie, Hayley, Maggie, Ben, Courtney, Emily, Amy, Jaci, Yvette, Lydia, Jenny, Robert and Charlotte, Robert and Melody, Lynne and Kirk, Amy McAlister and Lisa White, Jenny and Rena, Mike and Pam, and of course my wonderful family members. I appreciate the amazing people in my life supporting me through this time and for those who weren't able to come but still sent me a text or message, that meant a lot to me, too! I appreciate all the prayers and thoughts. I've had some amazing nurses while I've been here, and an incredible doctor who has taken great care of me the past month or so. God is good and some day I'll know why all of this happened. But for now, I just have to stay as strong as I can.

The ring my parents gave me as a get well present!

This is how I spent my first college homecoming. Go cats!

My beautiful roommate and best friends came to see me!

I get to go home tomorrow!

Going home in a few hours!

Haunted house haunted house

Cutting Edge: holds the Guinness world record for the largest walk-through haunted house. Last Friday, my dad took me for my birthday and it was AWESOME. I had so much fun and I definitely recommend it if you ever want to get scared!

Freshmen Follies 2012!

This year, my hall joined with the hall next to us for Freshmen Follies and it has been a BLAST. We are dancing to Wanna Be by Spice Girls, reeeeemixed! Just like Sing Song, Freshmen Follies is a time where students can get a skit together to perform during Parent's Weekend at ACU! Some just dance to songs, some change the words to songs to fit ACU, and some just do random stupid things (mostly the boys do that). Today we have three shows, and I'm so excited and a little bit nervous. But it's been fun!

The life of an Art major.

So as you know, I'm a Graphic Design major. One of my favorite classes is Basic Drawing, which is my only 8:00 and it lasts THREE hours. Which is really long, but in reality, it isn't long enough. I can never finish my projects! But it is really great. I love the teacher and I LOVE the people in my class. These are just a few projects and assignments I've done so far.

1 Corinthians 1:8

So I got this tattoo to be a constant reminder that God is always there for me and that He will keep me strong to the end! It was definitely an adventure, and it did hurt, but it was definitely worth it! I love it :)

Gardner Third East - The Best!

So I have had so much fun in college so far. I absolutely love my classes and I love my hall girls! We have had so much fun the past two weeks getting to know each other and hanging out! Last night, me, Hayley, Alyssa, and Madison played a few pranks on Jaci. It was hilarious. I really feel as if I'm in college now instead of being at summer camp. I feel so blessed to be at this school with these amazing people!

So she left her trash and spoon in our room. So we left it by her door.

Then we decided to put the lid, spoon, and straw on her door.

Oh, we also took our name tag things from our doors and put them all on Jaci's.

Then I snuck into Jaci's room and scared her to death.

Uhh COLLEGE!

So even though I had surgery last week, I got to move into the dorm on Saturday! I'm in Gardner dorm, room 377. It's at the very end of the hall, so we're getting a lot of exercise! But it has been a blast so far! I love my roommate, Hayley. She's awesome. We're like, the same person. I'm just so ready for this year. I'm ready to start classes and I'm ready to get to know people. I think that's what I'm the most excited about!

Sooo, technically I just had brain surgery.

So I had surgery this past Monday and I survived! It went good, everything went as planned and Dr Watts said that I should know if it worked or not in about a month! That's also how long recovery is going to be. So I'm still pretty sore and my neck/head is hurting, too. And it's numb, like it will be forever! But yeah! I am so very blessed and I appreciate all the prayers and thoughts from everybody. You guys are the best. Love you all!
