A little late...

I'm a little late on this post... I promised you a reflective and "serious" post... well, it's changed a bit.

I'll make it short -- I'm in my last semester of college (4 weeks and 1 day until graduation) and I decided I didn't want to be involved in any leadership roles, etc. for the semester. A total contrast to who I actually am. Well, it took me until midterms to realize that I am not me without the creativity, the leadership, and let's face it, the stress of being crazy busy and involved.

I was also incredibly frustrated with the job search. I was getting some great feedback but most places needed to hire right away. It's been amazing to watch God work. He has opened an amazing door for me at the university -- and He keeps opening doors to make the choice undoubtedly clear. As I said before, I will be the inauguration manager for the ceremony and surrounding events for the new president Judge Robert Henry.

I am incredibly excited about this opportunity -- and the chance to have 4 more months with my friends in OKC. Don't worry, I've already started pulling pictures of offices and desks that I want to use for inspiration! (Although, I'd be perfectly happy with a chair and lap-board in Kimmy's office, hehe)

I realized how lonely I am today for my girlfriends -- I had lunch w/ Chels and talked to the other third of "the EB girls" (Jess) tonight on FB chat. Man, my girls are a gift from God!

I did some Christmas shopping (I made a vow to not shop until the end of the semester -- excluding Christmas shopping of course) today and had some great success! I can check almost everyone off my list! Hooray!!

I'll be posting pictures tomorrow of the apartment with the start of Christmas decorations! =)

weekend recap

Well, it was a pretty great weekend!

Saturday was busy with errands - I ordered my graduation announcements (hooray!) and bought a few Christmas ornaments! I am so ready to start decorating! Wishing the rooms was here still so we could decorate our living room tree one last time!

Saturday night M and I grabbed dinner at the wedge and watched some of the OSU game. After, we went to Pinkitzel - a new cupcake and candy shop in Bricktown- for dessert.

Check out this sign!

I absolutely loved the shop - all black and pink - so girlie!!!


M got Mint Chocolate Chip


And I got Strawberry Shortcake


I had to work yesterday and then we went to a campaign kickoff for a candidate for a state senate seat. It was so much fun and Carol is quite a little firecracker!

While watching Harry Potter on ABC Family, we decided that our mini crab cake at the event was not a sufficient dinner so we jetted off to Little Caesars for a $5 hot and ready pizza.


I haven't had it in YEARS! And it used to be a Sunday night family tradition - we would get our pizzas and watch Superman (with Dean Cain and Terri Hatcher) - oh the memories!



Might not LOOK appetizing but boy was it tasty!!



Here's to the start of a new week!

xoxo, E

p.s. hoping to do the BIG NEWS job post tomorrow!!

10 days until...

Love all the fall pictures of home that Mommacita sends me. However, I can't wait to see it all for myself when I go home for Thanksgiving!

xoxo, E

Beautiful engraving on the inside of the simple band! A special, secret message hidden inside!


Love this tray from Modern Chic Home!


I'm obsessed with my Henri Bendel 2010 planner! Time for a new one! The one I really love isn't online but I saw it in Dallas a couple weeks ago!


LOVE these Russian dolls! How cute would they look on a bookshelf in an office?!


These would be so perfect for travel! They were graduation gifts for my friends last year but I'm loving the new fabrics for this year!!
