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!!!" :)

Day 32: The Day Of Graduation

Today was our official last day at Ouachita until August. It was a bittertsweet ending, but couldn't have ended perfectly! Because we're in the band, we have to stay on Saturday for graduation to play for the graduates. It was an absolute perfect day for a graduation! Ouachita has a cool tradition that graduations are held outside in front of Cone Bottoms, our administration building. My cousin, Rachel, graduated today, so it was extra special for me! Plus my family got to be there! It was a lovely time to send off the students who are now officially college graduates! I'm so excited for those that I know who graduated today and to see what all God has for their future and what all they do with their lives! Congratulations Class of 2010!!

[Way to graduate, Rachel! So proud of all you've done!

Can't wait to hear all about physical therapy school! :)]

Aubrey, being the wonderful music-loving, soon to be band director that she is, volunteered to play clarinet in the graduation band! We got to play sitting next to one another with Becca left without Aubrey in the Flute section. :) And despite a few squeaks we all made it through Pomp and Circumstance beautifully! It was so fun to play next to Aubrey!

A very special happy Mother's Day to our moms and all the lovely ladies in our lives! We love you so much and wish you a very happy Mother's Day!

Day 31: The Day we Killed ourselves moving

Today was a very very busy day. Poor Brittany had two finals left to take, and we both began moving out of the dorm even though we had to stay until Saturday for graduation. We both got up rather early to begin the extravaganza, and didn't end until very late in the afternoon. Brittany's parents came to help and to also go to graduation to see Brittany's cousin graduate. They were a huge help to me as well when it came to somehow fitting last minute things in Big Bertha (my mom's Tahoe. . . haha). THANK YOU :)

Here are some pictures of the empty dorm and us with Rebecca smiling rather large when everything was officially in the car:

Tonight Brittany went and hung out with her family and I had the pleasure of going swing dancing with Travis and a big group of people from OBU in Hot Springs. It was a lot of fun, and he is a great teacher!

Tomorrow Brittany and I will both play clarinet at graduation and then we are DONE with our sophomore year! Holy cow! Where ever did the time go? The Lord has truly blessed us with meeting each other this year. I could NOT, I repeat, could NOT have made it through this year without you, Brittany. I love you! You are an amazing friend and such an inspiration to me! I can't wait to be your roommate again next year and see what God has in store! :D

Day 30: The Day We Celebrated Becca's Birthday!!

Today is officially day 30!!! What better way to celebrate than to share in Becca's birthday celebration a couple of days early! We went to Little Italy, which has wonderful Italian cuisine. It was a lovely time for the five of us to get together in between studying for finals, packing, checking girls out as an R.A., and of course, playing some great Mario Kart!

Happy Birthday Becca!!! It's so wonderful and amazing to be friends with you! I hope your 20th year is phenomenal!
Love you Becca!

Day 29: The Day We Studied and Such

Today was the third day of finals week. Brittany was lucky to have no tests, but the sweet girl had to spend the day studying for 2 more tests she has left. Luckily she did have a break to go to church. She teaches the middle school girls at Park Hill Baptist. She has such a heart for girls and people in general. It is so great to see how God is using her.

I had my percussion final today and then had the pleasure of going to the Eubanks to eat lunch before another test in the late afternoon and Tiger Tunes practice. The Eubanks are a sweet old couple I met at First Baptist Church last semester. I went over to their house to eat one Sunday and have now gone over several times since to just hang out. It is so much fun to talk with them :) Mr. Eubanks is a very talented musician and is even helping me fix up an autoharp my friend, JK, here at Ouachita gave me! BIG SMILE. Mrs. Eubanks even has a garden, complete with an electrical fence to keep the "critters" out- HAHA. Such a sweet, Godly couple!

Being the sweet person she is, Mrs. Eubanks had made me some "rice krispy cornflakes" to take back to the dorm. Brittany and I enjoyed them much : D Excuse our appearances, it was about 1:30 am in the morning when we took this. Smile.
