list update...

i have 543 days left...and i'm not even a quarter of the way done with my 1,001 things. not much to update on. i did ride in a limo at j & e's wedding...so that's done. i've changed a few of the items on my list. and moved the ones i've completed to the bottom. i've read 2 more books...so i'm much closer to #2. i'm hooked on the twilight series (by stephenie meyer). i'll be reading the 3rd and 4th books in december (after classes are done). i've also decided to run the greensboro full marathon in may...so, hopefully i can run it fast enough to complete #3. and i'm getting closer to #4...hopefully by january.

:)

out with the gc girls...

so, christian is deployed. for two months. it sucks. but that wasn't really the point of this post. since the boy is out of town, i told the girls that i'd be more social. this past saturday was my first night out in greensboro. it was fun...interesting, but tons of fun :)


omid, whitney, holly, brooke - holly is a huge fan of foosball...i think we were all forced to play at least one game.

Halloween!!

ok...so, i hate halloween. i blame my mom. she hates halloween too. but i dressed up anyway. chris and i went to a small halloween party...we had fun. so maybe i don't hate halloween.
