University of Chicago :)

As promised here are a few of MANY pictures I took this past weekend at the University of Chicago Swim Meet. We had a great time and qualified 2 swimmers in 3 events for Nationals in New York the first week of March!

My Roommates Courtney and Ryann after Courtney qualified for Nationals! :)

new year, new start.

I have decided to rename and revamp my blog. I feel as if this year is taking a big leap into new and great things and I wanted to capture that in my blog. This year I hope to keep up with my blog better and keep you all updated more. So here's to a new year! :)

So as of today I am back on campus at Iowa Lakes for my final semester of my Graphic Design degree. YAY! I am so excited to be finished, I can't believe it has gone by so fast! I recently have decided I am not quite ready to be done with school yet. I have looked into the Professional Photography program at Northwest Iowa Community College in Sheldon, IA and just got accepted last week. After having to reschedule my campus visit due to lovely Iowa weather, I finally took my visit today. I loved it. I am definatly certain photography is something I want to do hand-in-hand with Graphic Design. The program is a two year program for an Associate of Applied Science degree. I can't wait to start classes in the fall!

Some of you also may have heard that I also took on a position as Swim Team manager here at ILCC. I know what you are thinking, swim team?? There is a reason for the bizarre choice. This is Iowa Lakes' first year with a swim team and after my roommate Ryann and I persuaded our roommate Courtney to join, we felt a little bad when she ended up being the only girl to join the co-ed team. So we decided in an effort to keep her some company we would be managers! Emmetsburg is the main campus for the Swim Team so Coach was looking for someone here on the Estherville campus to help out with the athletes living here and Ryann and I were perfect fit for the job!! So far it has some really great perks, on Friday we are headed to CHICAGO for a two day meet! Look forward to pictures from the trip!

    Sorry I have been slacking everybody. Wow have I been busy! Since I missed school 2 weeks in a row I was extremely behind. So I am now finally getting back into a routine.

   As most of you know, I missed school because my great aunt Annie passed away. She was an amazing person and I loved her so much. She will forever be missed and always remembered.



A toast to Annie at Bill's.



beautiful Kennedy Lin

This past weekend Tony and I went to Minneapolis to visit the Rousseau's and the Rapp's. I got to spend some quality time with my beautiful aunts and their families, including the precious new Kennedy Lin. I couldn't help but take lots of pictures of her! Here are a few! :)

Wide awake! :)

upgrade please!

As some of you have heard i finally bought a new vehicle. It was long overdue and much needed. I have been looking around for a long time but when my car started really acting up as I was starting school again, I decided I wasn't willing to risk it with the hour and half drive to Estherville and back. I ended up finding a 2006 Pontiac G6 in Hospers and I LOVE it! Although I think at this point I would love anything as long as it wasn't the Neon. :) Here are some pics, they aren't the greatest so I hope to add better ones later.

New Beginnings :)

So I decided to start a blog as I started out my sophomore year of college. I hope to update you all at least a few times a week, so we will see how long that lasts! :)

For starters, tonight I don't know what got into me but I was very ambixious. I made cookies and did the dishes!! :)

Here are some pics for your tastebud's delight!
Enjoy!
