SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED!!!!

Where to begin, where to begin!!!

Ok, well first let me say that DAVID AND I ARE ENGAGED!!!!!! This has basically occupied my life for the past week, and I am still basking in the glow of being newly engaged. Please check out our website and sign our guestbook (click on "Mary and David's Knot" under links)!!!

Ok, so other than that my life has been absolutely crazy, mainly because of school-related stuff. First of all, I basically do Latin homework every waking free moment that I have just to keep up. Every night, Latin homework. All week last week I was sick, but I got engaged, so that kinda makes up for it:) This week has been especially crazy. On Monday I had a large paper due. Tuesday was study-for-Latin day. I had a hugely destructive Latin test on Wednesday. Thursday I had to shadow my education mentor for three hours while she did a program, I went home and proceeded to sleep through the first thirty minutes of my Decorative Arts class which I had already missed on Tuesday due to study-for-Latin day, MSSA meeting, dinner, then study-for-History night. Friday I had a major History test.

However, it got a lot better on Friday night!!! I was Liz's date to her service fraternity's semi-formal, or semi-fiesta as they called it. We bought these outrageous dresses, got glammed up, and danced the night away!!! It was a lot of fun. I made new friends in Monica and Rachel, who are also crazy fun!! I am always sooo busy that it felt good to act crazy and girlie for a night:)



Today was also a lot of fun. This morning MSSA too a trip to the Cameron Park Zoo and got an amazing behind-the-scenes tour of both the new and old exhibits. My favorite parts where when we got to feed the giraffe and pet the rhinos. All the animals were just so amazing, and it was something I will remember forever. After we went to the zoo Liz accompanied my family and me to Harker Heights vs Lufkin in the first state playoff game of the year. It was at the Waco ISD stadium. Heights was predicted to lose by at least 33 points, but by the end of the game we were tied 24-24 and had to go into overtime. Unfortunately, we lost, but only by one touchdown. It was a really intense and exciting game!!


In the meantime, my friend Jackie got engaged and is planning a June wedding, so I got to go pick out my bridesmaid dress a couple weeks ago. My puppy DJ aslo turned 1 year old on Halloween, so we celebrated that. On Wednesday of this coming week Liz, Stephanie, and myself will be taking the GRE, so everyone wish me luck!! They are more stresed than me, but I still would like to only have to take it once.

So basically, my life is crazy and I am always busy and tired, but I would not know what to do with myself if I didn't have a busy schedule, so I bring it upon myself. Thankfully, I have wonderful friends and an amazing fiance (ahhhh!), so I am the luckiest girl ever!!

I promise to try and keep this thing updated!!
