Halloween Dance

Two weekends was my Fall Break and I had a really rough week,

so I decided to take the whole week off! It was much needed! 

Spending a whole week in Home Town was exactly what I needed!

It was a blast! I never really appreciated my friends and family 

until I was 4 hours away in a town where I have very few friends.

Oh loved it! I miss Home Town so much! Parts of me wish that I could

move back there. Hopefully one day I will be able to!

Last weekend there was a Halloween dance at my institute in T-Bird

Town, so Lo, Alice, Karli, and I loaded up the car and headed down!

I know what your thinking. "You drove 4 hours to go to a dance,

spend the night, and then drive 4 hours back the next morning?"

And the answer is, yes! 

 Karli had a meeting on campus with the school newspaper, so I took Lo

and Alice on a tour of the school. Their favorite part was the Jelly Belly

station at the school convenience store! Haha! 

 After Karli's meeting and 3 blasted hours of primping we were ready for 

the dance! We all decided we wanted to flapper girls and thank goodness

Wal-Mart had them for cheap! Lo and I were "The Reds!" And 

Kat-Y, Alice, and Karli were the "Blackies!"

P.S. I have been curling my hair everyday for the past week and I kind of love it!

The institute dance kind of reminded all of us of a stake dance. Remember

those days? Awful! Super long line dances and super awkward

slow dances. But we made it fun! We looked great too! 

 We ran into Mitt Romney/Alice chased him down! "My mom is a huge

fan! Can we get a picture with you?!" Poor kid! Haha!

We didn't get to bed until 2:30 because Karli and Lo were having 

"World War III" and we couldn't stop laughing! Needless to  say, my

roommates think my friends are crazy! After hearing Alice's honk, 

Kat-Y's snort, and Karli's screech they were in love! Thankfully we

slept in until 11:00! After we got ready we headed to have "brunch"

at Denny's! "I will have the biscuits and gravy. No meat. Extra lard."

Then we embarked on another 4 hour drive.

We had such a great weekend! I'm so glad we went down, partied,

and then brought Kat-Y home with us! Never a dull moment 

with these girls!

We weren't even in T-Bird Town for 24 hours. Then Sunday afternoon

after Boyd's homecoming (thankfully he made it home in time!)

Kat-Y and I packed up my car and headed back down south. I drove

12 hours in two days, but it was worth it! Not gonna lie, I'm kind

of sad to be back in T-Bird Town. People think I'm crazy, but I love

Home Town!

In other news, I have the cutest niece in the world! She learned to say 

"Bzzzzz" when asked what sound a bee makes, so she was a bee for Halloween!

Isn't she adorable?!

3 weeks until I get to go back to Home Town and until I get to

 see that cute little face!
