Happy Fall Ya'll

Sorry for the delay in posting.

Let's start with a Delta Gamma Reunion. Sorority recruitment was a couple weeks ago on the UA Fort Smith campus. I was part of the founding class of the ETA O chapter of Delta Gamma. We thought it was a great reason to get together and show support.

(Ashley, Brooke, Emily, me & Meredith)

Congrats ETA O on welcoming 26 new sisters and making Quota!!!


Alumni Weekend, Oct. 19 - 21, 2012, and Homecoming Oct. 15 - 21

Now combined with Homecoming, Alumni Weekend is the Alumni Association's premier annual event, welcoming an ever-growing number of alumni of all ages back to campus for a great weekend of camaraderie, reminiscence, and fun, with receptions, meals, tailgating, and entertainment. And remember, Alumni Weekend is for all alumni and friends of UAFS, Westark, and Fort Smith Junior College, so you don't have to be an alumnus to join us.

So I have been seeing antique doors used in decor everywhere lately. Naturally, I want one! Chad and I did a little door hunting this weekend in downtown Fort Smith and actually found one!! Another man's trash is another man's treasure, literally..

At the carwash after we got it cleaned up a little.

Today we started stripping the paint off and sanding it a little.

Chad just loves to get in on a weekend project.

And what would a little Happy Fall Ya'll post be without a pumpkin pic!

Fall means Pumpkins & Hogs!

Fall Crafts

I've been working on some fall crafts this week while up in Berryville to fill up my nights. A girl can only watch so much netflix. I've been working on two crafts this week.

Craft # 1: A burlap wreath.
 I've been studying the burlap wreaths at Hobby Lobby and decided to get it a try.

Supplies Needed:

• Brown pipe cleaners
• Hot glue gun
• Metal Frame
• 2 3 spools of burlap ribbon

Stay tuned I'll post a finished picture once I get back to civilization. ( a town with a nearby HL)

Craft # 2. Game day Tshirt Dress.

Fall means Football in Razorback Country. I have seen tons of cute tshirt dresses for sale on FB & Esty. I knew I just had to try it.

Thank you Pinterest. Here is the tutorial I followed.

Again I could not complete my project bc the nearest Hobby Lobby to Berryville is 59.9 miles away. Thank goodness I only spend 3.5 days here at a time.

The local Walmart Supercenter did supply me with: 

• 1 XL Razorback Tshirt
• Grey thread
• 1/2 inch elastic

Stay tuned, next week I will be adding some Hobby Lobby touches

This is not on my craft list but look how talented the Hobby Lobby flower department is:

It looks exactly like Heidi!!

Don't worry I didn't buy it.

Tomorrow is Razorback scrub day at the office!! and my new RDH friend Christie is staying with me so we can go to Dr. Pickards CE class on Friday.

Back to School

In my last post I hinted about some new changes. Chad officially gave his two week notice this week. He will be leaving his job of 3 years as the concrete finisher of the City of Fort Smith to go back to school!!! I am so excited and proud of him. He started college right after high school, but did not have a direction and left after only 3 semesters. He has finally found a reason to go back. Chad will be attending OSU Institute of Technology in Okmulgee, Oklahoma. He has been accepted into the High Voltage Program, and will be able to be a lineman for an electric company.

It is about 1.5 hours from Fort Smith. and 3.5 hours from Berryville. Lucky Fort Smith is in the middle and can meet for the weekends. It is a 6 semester program, with paid internships after the first semester. 

Caribbean Cruise

Sorry for the break! I'm back! The summer as always goes by way to fast. A lot of new changes have been in the works and now everything is slowly coming together.

First, let me share about vacation # 2 of the summer. Dr. B said since we have been working so hard this year, we deserved a little vacation. He wanted to go to Alaska to fish with a couple dental friends. Dr. B and his wife, Lina, decided the girls and Lina also deserved a little trip..a Caribbean Cruise to be exact!! I was very excited because this was my first cruise and first time leaving the country. We were aboard the Carnival Magic on a 7 day cruise. We had 3 stops: Jamaica, Grand Cayman, & Cozumel.

Picture Time:

Chad & I right before he took me to the airport.
