Happy Birthday Chi-Omega!

On April 2nd, Chi-Omega celebrate 75 years at Mississippi State University. So, Emmylou and I took a road trip to Starkville for the special event. I am pretty sure the car was filled with constant conversation. It was fabulous! We got there around lunch, and Emmylou said we had to go to a "very Starkville restaurant." So, we went to the Bulldog Deli. You can't get much more Starkville than the deli. Well, it was also Derby Days weekend, so while we were eating all the sorority girls starting coming in after Derby Day events. It was fun, but what I didn't expect was to feel old. It hit both of us that it was been 4 years since we graduated. I didn't realize it had been that long. We could have been in college all over again. Oh well. Afterwards, we did a little shopping, and I got my S.I.L. a b'day gift. I can't say what it is since I haven't given it to her yet. Then, we went to visit Laura at her house. I got to meet her precious little girl, Addison. After our quick visit, we headed to the event! It was in the renovated Union, which is FABULOUS! Totally thought this was going to be like a brunch thing. Oh no, it was an all out program! A really great one too. I thoroughly enjoyed every part. I think ....I know I appreciate my sorority more now than when I was an active. When you are having to always go to Chapter meeting and event after event, you take for-granted what is right in front of you: an experience you will remember forever. I know-CHEESY! I guess you have to live it to understand where I am coming from. It was a beautiful day with wonderful friends and remembering special memories.

Little Home Improvements

We have lived in our house for about a year and half now, and I am just now putting stuff on the walls. Don't judge. I have been taking my time. I didn't want to just buy stuff to have something to fill space. I wanted to carefully get what I really wanted. Plus, once I got pregnant it was almost like life just stopped for a little while, so we could transition to parents. Now, Michael and I are slowly way are way back to "normal" life stuff like decorating (me) and mowing the lawn (Michael). Here are a few pics of some of the "little" improvements. The first being the mantle. I already had everything except for the clock. I still need some candles. I want to get the round ones shaped like a ball. I just have to find them.

The mirror is new as of today.

It is the little things in life that make me happy :)
