The to-do list of things I needed to finish in order to close out the semester. I love crossing things off my list, & love it even more when the entire list is crossed out! SKADOOSH! I'm done with the first half of my senior year, OH YEAH!

This is the least handicap-accessible gas pump I've ever seen. This picture doesn't do it justice, but the card reader part of the pump was over my head when I was standing next to it & there is no way any handicapped person would be able to use this gas pump. Way to go gas station by Timber Ridge

Caaaaake testing! Today we drove out to the boonies for some cake testing & poked out the coolest looking wedding & grooms cake EVER! You'll just have to wait & see them later though...

But they're awesome

Oh snap, bejeweled license plate cover. Head's up everybody, early Christmas present idea. Just sayin...

I found my old buddy from vision quest, Mandark, hanging around McMurry this afternoon. He's a cool fellow

November 21, 2010

Man oh man the sky was beautiful tonight!

November 20, 2010

This is Mitch, a new friend of mine. He chilled with me while I wrote some of my paper the other night. & yes he's a bowling pall pin with a face drawn on him, don't judge

Today for our Formations of Servant Leadership class project, we put on a leadership seminar for 5 grade students around Abilene who were chosen for their excellence in the classroom. My job today was to facilitate the building of marshmallow towers to teach kiddos about communication & team building. This was one of my favorite creations called "The Blob"

This is the new poster advertising that you should submit for the Galleon, McMurry's student publication for poems, prose, photos, stories etc. Interesting...

It's a little hard to see but the neon sign on top of this church says "Jesus Saves" & I pass it every time I go to or from Anson for youth. It always looks a little creepy in the dark but the message is so true, Jesus does & did save us & I'm very thankful for that. Thanks random church for reminding me of that

The beautiful altar & choir loft of the First Unites Methodist Church of Coppell, TX where me & my best friend are getting married :)

November 13, 2010

Today Liz, Momma Whiting, & I all participated in the LUNGevity benefit walk to raise money for lung cancer research. It was an awesome event & there were so many people there to support those who had lost loved ones to cancer & even lung cancer survivors there. It was so neat to be involved in something like this & Liz even exceeded her fundraising goal of $500 & was in the top 5 most successful fundraisers for the event. Yeah best friend!

Oh man, an armadillo with some six-shooters & a cowboy hat. How legit is that?! This little dude was chilling out in the drive through line at the McDonalds in Eastland, TX. Nice.

November 11, 2010

My fiancé is super awesome & she got two of our favorite engagement photos blown up, framed, & hung up in our bedroom. They look awesome & she's super great. I love her :)

November 10, 2010

I found this sign on my way out of the hospital today & thought it was just awesome. It read:

"What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others remains and is immortal."

November 9, 2010

I finally found a fellow Hawai'i supporter in Abilene. Go Bows!

November 8, 2010

Little Socks and Sadie-bug really are friends. I caught them in the act of being nice to each other. Muahahahaha!

My radio doesn't play music,it plays magic!

Apparently Aramark does all kinds of things, including selling/renting medical equipment. My Dad’s room is full of Aramark stuff. I’m glad their machines work better than their food tastes…

November 4, 2010

This fountain is outside of the front entrance to the hospital that my dad has been staying at for the last month and for some reason tonight I thought it looked really cool.

November 3, 2010

My mom sent me some pictures of my dad tonight and I thought this one of me in my sweet animal shirt at Easter was really neat. Every year when we were little, we would go to my Grandma's house in Brownwood, TX and hunt Easter eggs and go to church with her and color the bulletin's (since we couldn't pay attention that long haha). My shirt is especially cool because my mom made it herself.

Novermber 2, 2010

So Sadie was upset today or something but she trashed the living room and ripped up some of our stuff, including my Outcasts United book that I read for class. Poor little book, it never even stood a chance.

November 1, 2010

Ok so this picture was taken on Saturday but it was so yummy that I wanted to put it in here somewhere. Liz took Momma Whiting and I to this neat place called Cherry On Top that serves frozen yogurt (which is real good) and they have all the toppings you could ever want. I got the vanilla flavored yogurt with Cap'n Crunch (yeah that's right, I said Cap'n Crunch!) topping and it was the best yogurt EVER! So tasty...

We ate at the coolest McDonalds ever today for lunch. It is in north Dallas and it is shaped like a giant happy meal with burgers and fries and whatnot on the outside and the inside is fancy like a 5-star restaurant. It was neat

October 30, 2010

Momma Whiting got her chimenea finally and it is super cool and Vincent agreed so he was checking it out (and by he agreed, I mean that I put him inside of the chimenea and he sniffed around in it for a while...)

October 29, 2010

The annual "Beat Hardin Simmons Car Bash" was today in front of the campus center. That poor little car got dominated, hopefully we can dominate some fools tomorrow at the game!

October 28, 2010

Liz and I's super cool letters that we made to hang above the fireplace in the apartment. I am the little blue robot, Liz is the pink robot and Socks and Sadie have little figures too. They turned out super good and it was a really fun way to spend out night.

October 27, 2010

I read a lot of this book today. I am presenting over it tomorrow in Dr. Waters class tomorrow. It was a pretty good read about how similar Buddhism and Christianity are and the similarities between the Buddha and Jesus. I would recommend that you pick a copy and give it a read through.

October 26, 2010

What the heck is this building? It looks way too fancy to be in Abilene, TX.

October 25, 2010

I had a very interesting day today, wow. These are the new Toms that my best friend surprised me with today when she got home from work. They are so comfy and look awesome and they were the perfect thing to make my day super awesome! They accent my sweet ACE bandage really well too haha (Yeah my ankle is still swollen but I don't have to have surgery or anything so that's good)

Thanks sweetheart for my awesome surprise! I love you!

October 24, 2010

It's our little Sadie-bug! Not only did we move our furniture back home this weekend, but we got to bring our puppy-dog back with us. She's super cute and fuzzy, a great snuggler and cuddles up with us at night :)

October 23, 2010

The edge of the hurricane we drove through today to move our furniture to Abilene to our new apartment. This storm was crazy intense and it took us about 4 hours to get from Coppell, Tx to Abilene because it was raining so hard and we had to drive so slow. It was crazy!

October 22, 2010

Oh Vincent! This is Liz and Momma Whiting's cat Vincent. He's very grande.

October 21, 2010

This is the quilt that my great-grandmother made for me when I was born. I really love this quilt because it's super soft, warm and it's the only thing that I have left from my great-grandmother so it's really special to me. My favorite part are the triathlon-running turtles!

October 20, 2010

This pic is a beautiful one of our new drapes that Liz bought and installed today while I was at class and work. They are just awesome. Our room is so dark now that we can actually sleep in now, weird! My best friend is a hoss!

October 19, 2010

McMurry University, raising the bar!

Meet Marcus, the sweet dude that I drew on my car while I was talking to Lee this afternoon. Ta-dah!

October 17, 2010

Kenny came over with Alyssa today and showed us the Harwell family crest and that intrigued me as to what our Jones family crest looks like. Well here it is and it's pretty sweet. The motto, in Latin at the top, means "Without God, Without Anything" I can dig it. 

October 16, 2010

Sock's new little hangout place, the top of Liz's set of shelves in the closet. What a goob

October 15, 2010

Yay bonfire!

October 14, 2010

This is the beginning of our cross wall in our new apartment. The middle cross is one that me and Liz picked out together. The cross on the right is the one that she picked out and the one on the left is the one that I picked out. The cross on the bottom middle is the cross that I got a while back for my apartment at the Quarters. So if you ever run out of gift ideas for either one of us, you can just get us a sweet cross for our cross wall. Ok good talk...

The first national bank of Anson. Super old school.

October 12, 2010

So I found this in the lobby area of Old Main today and apparently Makona was the service organization of the year in '05-'06. Very nice!
