A Weekend of Visitors and Dresses :)

Wellll, I have had a lot of visitors this weekend. Last night my friend from home, Jerry, came and visited. It was alot of fun. We went out to this Restaurant/Bar called Stardust in Alexandria w/ my good friends Elle and Lauren. We just had some drinks and some food :) It was nice. After that we just hung out for a while and then Jerry headed home.

Today I had a game and performed for dance team. It was great, I did alot better than I did last time. I was happy cause my Mom got to see me perform. She doesn't get to come to too many of my games. My sister and her boyfriend were also there, so that was fun. Afterwards we wanted to go to dinner at PF Chang's.. I was reaaaaaaaaaaaalllly looking forward to it and we go in there and they say it's gonna be a 1 hour and 20 minute wait.... so we didn't eat there unfortunately. Instead we went to Chevy's in Ballston and I realized that when my actual meal came I wasn't hungry anymore, considering I had probably eaten 100 tons of chips and salsa beforehand haha.

Also while I was there I was running through the mall like a crazy lady trying to find a dress for Snowball. My original plan was to borrow a dress from my sister that she wore for her Homecoming this past year. That didn't exactly work out considering my sister is about a good 6 or 7 inches taller than me---I should have thought of that before planning on wearing her dress. It's so weird that my little sister is now taller than me haha.

Anyways, the dress definitly did not fit, hence the reason why I was running around the mall. It turned out I had no luck... sooo I looked on this website called gojane.com to look for some dresses because that is where my sister had originally gotten hers. Here are some links to the ones that I like.... http://www.gojane.com/28617-formals-ombre-gathered-front-formal.html , http://www.gojane.com/29806-formals-pleated-bow-bubble-formal.html , http://www.gojane.com/24846-formals-silky-pleated-brooch-dress.html ....what do you guys think??

The only problem with ordering a dress online is that I am worried it might not get in here time for the dance... it's this weekend. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed!!

Hey everyone,

So I haven't written in a while.. what have I been up to?

Well I went to the Inauguration.. it was craziness and so awesome.. I don't really know any other way to describe it. I'm just so happy that I got to be a huge part of hustory. There were so many people and although I couldn't get past the Washington Monument due to the crowds, it was still amazing. The energy in the crowd was something I had never experienced before, I'm glad that my best friend Elle encouraged me to go :) There's a picture of us in the top right corner in front of the monument w/all of our blankets and what not haha.

Basically, all I've been doing lately is dancing and schoooool.. I'm definitly ready for the weekend. My friend Jerry from home is visiting tonight and the tomorrow I have a game and my mom, sister, and my sister's boyfriend are going to come watch, so I'm excited for that. :) I'm trying to persuade my sister to come here next year.. so we'll see what happens!

Until next time... :)

Soooo I know I just posted a few mintues ago, but I was just looking through some old pictures of when my friend Clare and I went to Ocean City this past summer. I wanted to post a picture of the beach, just to remind myself of how warm it was.. considering it's still freezing here....

Well since I last wrote some exciting things have happened.
Last night was the first game of the semester for dance team. It was great performing at half time. We haven't had that much time to practice since we just had Winter Break, so we had to take some old choreography that we already knew and change it up a bit and put it to new music. We are working on something new right now for this weekend, which I'm really excited about, it's gonna be awesome.

Today I went to Tysons and finally got the Sperrys I wanted. I also saw Bobbi Brown, a famous makeup artist and I had my makeup done by a Chanel makeup artist, so that was fun. So far it's been a good weekend. I have the next few days off from school for MLK Jr. Day and the Inauguration. I might even go to the Inauguration.. we'll see if I'm brave enough. haha.

My First Blog

That's me!!

Alright, so this is my first blog.. I'm new at this, so we'll see how it goes.

Right now I'm going to school at Marymount University and I really enjoy it. I've started this blog for my Writing for the New Media class. I haven't kept a handwritten journal in a while and I used to keep an online journal in high school, but that kind of fizzled out over the years.
I am currently a junior and have been studying communications for the past three years. I really want to be a reporter or news anchor one day. It would also be really cool to write for a magazine or edit a magazine. I think that living so close to D.C. is a great opprotunity for that. The only thing that is not so good about living here at the moment is the COLD, it's freezing outside. I'm not a really big fan of the cold, which is why summer is my favorite season. It's not like I'm not used to cold though, especially growing up in Winchester, Virginia.

Well, I'm really not sure what else to write, so I guess I'll just stop here for now. :-)
