Girls Lunch

For this week's picture, we decided to take it of our Girls' Lunch. I think last week a few of us had the great idea to designate Friday lunches as girls only. We're all so busy and rarely are all five of us ever hanging out at the same time (actually there were two close friends missing today). Therefore, Fridays are girl time. Today's lunch was crazy!! There were a few high schools in the caf for preview day or something and that made getting food and hearing each other a bit tricky. It was still a wonderful time of amazing friends!
 

I can't tell you how thankful I am for each of these lovely ladies and how much I value their friendship.

God's been teaching me a lot lately about love, and the true meaning of the word, and a whole bunch of other stuff, but one of the things that has been reoccurring this week is what I want the theme of our friendship [and basically the entire rest of my life] to be:

John 13.35:

By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.

Happy weekend!

A Bash at a Barn

Last week and this Monday were TWIRP week at Ouachita. TWIRP stands for "the woman is required to pay", so it's kinda like a Sadie Hawkins idea. Each night, there is a different theme that you can ask a guy to go with you too. . . so it's pretty fun!!! Our personal favorite is Campus Ministries Barn Bash! There was bbq, tea, lemonade, square dancing, ants, hay, a tractor (John Deer green I might add) and of course friends! Haha. Thank you, Adam and Trevor, for being amazing dates!

Devote yourselves to prayer; stay alert in it with thanksgiving. Colossians 4:2

Have a wonderful weekend!

Back Home

So it's a bit late, but I really wanted to post these because they're fun! After a nice long weekend apart, Aubrey and I are both back home at Ouachita. I stayed here while Aubrey went home for Labor Day Weekend. We both had nice relaxing weekends! :)
We were sitting in my room talking with Angela when she grabbed my camera and started taking pictures of us laughing. I'm not sure what we were laughing at, but apparently (as seen on my face...) it was hilarious! 

Oi. This picture is just funny-I look dumb, but it's still a sweet picture. It's so nice to have everyone back together again. I hope you get to enjoy time with your family and good friends!

Decoration Exclamation

Today Brittany and I decided to squeeze in time to start decorating our living room. We have been putting it off for way too long. This year we made the living room have a twist- half of the room has a breakfast nook/dining area decorated with a chef theme and the other half is the game/tv/couch area. So far we LOVE it! 

Today we were successful in putting down a fun red shag rug down and hung mirrors, chef things, a chalk board, and some wall decor. We still didn't manage to finish, but we know what we have left to do and what we have left to shop for :) 

                                            

The chef you see pictured is Chef Leon. He is our lasting memory of the Pizza Shack that has now turned into the Frozen Stone. Ahhh the sadness! 

A Bible verse the Lord has put on my heart heavily this week is Proverbs 16:9:

In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps.

We both pray that you will let the Lord guide you in everything you think and say and do. Have a splendid weekend :)

Welcome Back!

Hello Blog World!
We would like to welcome you back to a new school year, a new blog design, a new camera, and a new project of sorts. I've been missing our little project terribly, and have had many people ask about whether or not we were going to continue this. Well, I can tell you that we are, but it's going to be a bit different. We probably won't be taking a picture everyday because of busyness, but we will try to fit in about 3 or 4 a week. I still want it to be a part of our day where we can just stop from the crazy-school, band, homework, Tunes, church, etc.-and take time to smile a little bit and chill, and wonder at God's creation. :-) So we'll see how it goes! (keep your fingers crossed) :-)

So here's to day 1. We didn't actually get a picture together and it's not from today, but it is from the first day of school. Classes started Wednesday with a bang, and went quite well for both of us! It's bound to be an exciting year! I hope it went well for you also!

-Brittany

So I'm not sure if people are still checking this since we are pausing our picture project for the summer, but I wanted to let our faithful followers know that since I am going to be in Arkansas for the summer (as opposed to home in Texas), I've created my own blog to keep people up to date with what's going on. Aubrey will be home and I know that she had talked about doing a blog with her mom, so we'll let you know about that.

My blog link is http://alwaysawaybackhome.blogspot.com/ Check it out. Or don't. Whatever floats your boat. :) I just wanted to throw it out there.

I hope your summer is going wonderfully!

We'd love to hear about what's going on in your lives! :)

Day 33: FINAL DAY

So as you can see, we ended up going a tad bit over 30 days, which is what the blog is entitled to do, but we started 3 days early and wanted to end up finishing out the semester with everyday included! We hope that this has been enjoyable reading/viewing pictures for all 2 of you that read it. Haha just kidding. . . we may have 3. Wink. We appreciate all of you who have been faithful followers and would just like to say, "Stay tuned!" We will be doing a "365 Days with Brittany and Aubrey" starting in the Fall semester. It is quite a commitment, and we may skip a few days and have to come back, but we have decided that it is all worth it in the end.

Have a wonderful Summer, and we'll update you with highlights of ours starting in the Fall!

"Be still and know that I am God." Psalms 46:10

Surly we can continue to stop for at least a few minutes a day to document what God is doing in our lives.

So once again, "Stay Tuned!!!" :)
