PRAYERS NEEDED PLEASE!!!!!

Caitlyn Clark
She is a 17 year old girl who has unfortunatley had a kidney disease since she was three. Since then she has had 2 kidney transplants. One of them was last summer. She is currently back in the hospital since her body seems to be rejecting the kidney. Please send some extra thoughts and prayers to her and her family.

Anywhooo, finals are over. I still have my online class but it shouldn't be too bad. I am sad that everyone is leaving IC. Yesterday, my little brother stopped by IC to help me move into my first apartment. Yes, I am 22 years old and have not lived in an apartment. I have lived at my parents, uncles, the dorm, and the sorority house. You can say I am finally growing up. I am really excited to live in IC for the summer!!! Whoot! Whoot!

I do not know if IC can handle MackBean for the summer! We will seee!!!!!

This is what happens while studying for finals!!!

How I Spent My Saturday Night

What am I going to do on a Saturday night? 
I could do homework, but I don't really want to....


Let's do art =]


I got my supplies!


A couple of Friday Night Lights episodes later....


One I finished earlier this week!!

Friday Night Lights

Well, I have spent most of the week watching Friday Night Lights. Pretty much It is kinda funny because my high school was a lot like that. I personally think I should have been raised in the South thats for sure. There sure are some yummy country boys on that show (Tim Riggins and Matt Saracen are sooooo dreamy). I do not know why I haven't watch this before. I seriously have a small addiction to TV series. When I get interested into one, I watch it until I have seen all of the episodes. It's pretty pathetic. I have sat and watched this show allllll dayyy. 


I am pretty lame today. I have already started working on a paper that I have due on Friday. Yes, I am working on homework on a Saturday night. I will probably not get much done and will more than likely go to bed early since "I am so old" tehehehehehe. 


Well I am off to watch another episode of Friday Night Lights or two. Have a good night ya'll!!!! =]

Beautiful Weather=Sneezing Spree

The last few days have been extremely nice here in Iowa City. I have enjoyed the nice weather but today my allergies have started to take over....I sneeze all the time and have a constant running/itchy nose. I am thankful that my eyes are still bearable. 


Last night, I got to go to Raygun and see my friend Lady Katie's paintings. They looked awesome by the way. If you are free the next couple of days go to Raygun on the Ped Mall and see them. http://ladykatiepaints.blogspot.com/  


I also got to spend the evening laughing with a great group of friends while enjoying some fabulous beverages. Nights like last night remind you to stop and smell the roses (which I really can't do right now). I could not live my life without the friends that I have. Everyone of them is so special to me. You know who you are and I truly to love you all!!

After dinner, my mother went to the mall. We didn't buy anything but we are going back tomorrow. We had supper at the Airliner (which is one of my favorites). After supper, we hung out downtown and now are watching Precious. I really enjoy hanging out with my mom. I miss her a lot when I am at school. I don't really want this weekend to end. 


Well, I best be going to bed....Good Night!
