Did you miss me?

I forgot to mention I went on a 3-week trip during the month of July. It was great!

- I flew to Tulsa, OK

- Drove to Mt. Vernon, MO

- Gambled in Oklahoma

- Took an RV to Wichita Falls, TX (and stayed the night on the couch of said RV)
- Continued the RV trek to Austin, TX

-Spent a few days in North Austin at my aunt's house (which is in the neighborhood that Dazed and Confused filmed it's popular car chase scene)

- Attended a cookout at my uncle's cattle ranch outside Austin and got to 4-wheel on their HUGE amount of land at sunset

--> Saw lots of cows:


- Drove to Lake LBJ to the famed G family reunion for nearly a week

... This family reunion is no joke. My dad has 10 brothers and sisters, of which he is the oldest. I have close to 50 cousins on just his side of the family. No joke!

- Drove back to Austin to stay at another aunt's house and floated in Lake Travis for a majority of the day. Very nice!

- Flew to Atlanta, GA

- Worked my first trade show. Stayed in a great hotel in the middle of Downtown ATL with an awesome view.
- I was officially greeted to "Hot-Lanta" by a man on the street on the last day of my stay.. and man, was it hot that day.
- Flew to Raleigh, NC and spent a little time with my folks.

- Drove back home to Greenville

- Went back to work at 7:30 AM the next day.



Phew! Exhausting, huh? It's good to be back. It took me a solid week to recover.

Was the semester worth it?

OH YES IT WAS!
I got all A's! In college! :O) woohoo!

So that was an amazing surprise! I was expecting 4 A's and 2 B's, but somehow I pulled off all A's! Hooray!

So I'm working on getting my mom's dips, drink mixes, and crocks online. She really really wants a website bad (hers is awful right now.. hiddenvalleycrafts.com) I don't know anything about making a website, except for Microsoft Publishers layouts are hideous. I need to learn how to use dreamweaver! I've been taking lots of pictures of her stuff, so at the least, I'm going to make her an etsy shop. Signed her up for it around thanksgiving, but never put anything in it yet. Still trying to figure out if I'm going to pay for stuff or if she is.. haha!

So if anyone knows anything about making a website.. PLEASE let me know! She'd be willing to pay the right person to make a good site for her!


Anywho.. I've been working a ton since I've been home. Having lunch with my boyfriend today.. I have pictures to post later of a few excursions and some excitement I've had lately! Working tonight, all day tomorrow, and brunch on sunday. Not going to the Tim McGraw concert on saturday.. :( But it's okay, because Kenny Chesney, Rascall Flatts, and a few others are going to be amazing this summer! :D

Lots of love to you all! (and please let me know if you're website-making-savvy!) ;D

Early morning!

I'm on spring break this week and home, but I still set my alarm every morning so I don't sleep the day away.. My mom laughs at me about it. But my alarm went off at 7:30 this morning and I didn't get up and out of bed until almost 8:30!

I got suckered into working at O'Charley's again this week (For those of you who don't know, I have been working with them for about 4 years and have left just as many times!). And I wasn't prepared/don't have the right kind of clothes with me, so I'm scrambling to atleast find a pair of cute black shoes that are closed-toe. I've been calling everywhere to see if they have these new crocs.. but I guess they're too new that nobody really has them yet. The mall doesn't even open until 10am, and I have to be at work by 11!

Plus, my car is in the shop this week, so I'm driving my dad's old '70-something pickup that's BURNT ORANGE and rusty and a little temperamental. So this will be a really interesting morning. :O)

Oh, and I got my haircut yesterday!

I've also been shopping a LOT this week.. and have a whole ton of new craft ideas and supplies! I'll post pictures later if I get the chance. I'm excited!
A little sad that it's already wednesday.. I have to go back to the school grind this weekend! :(

Hope everyone has an amazing hump day! The week's almost over!
