First off, I am excited to say that Cole got a summer internship with Fleishman-Hillard in Dallas starting June 4th. I am so proud of him and excited for the adventures he's going have in Texas. That being said, we have basically the month of May to cram in all of our summer plans. The list includes, but is not limited to:
-Time with the Grieves Fam in Topeka
-Time with the Moran Fam in Hays
-A trip to Atwood to visit the Braxmeyer side of Cole's family
-Trip to Haven to see the Harder family
-A Royal's game in KC
-Steak Dinner at the Bunker Hill Cafe
-Taking back roads from Topeka to Hays
-Visiting the Topeka Zoo, Sunset Zoo, or Rolling Hills Refuge in Salina
-Big Bang Theory Marathon
-Trip to Lake Wilson
-Ride on the Smokey Valley Railroad
-Moving a few things into my house for next year :)
Cole and I also celebrated our two year anniversary on April 11th. We began dating my freshman year at his Delta Sigma Phi Formal. We celebrated the big TWO that weekend with a big steak dinner and a Big Bang Theory marathon (our favorite show). It was a wonderful weekend :)Our anniversary actually fell on a Wednesday this year, which meant we both had sorority/fraternity chapter. That night was exciting for me because I found out one of my best friends and roommate, Paige, got engaged! A ritual many sororities have to celebrate the engagement of a member is called a "candle-lighting." For Kappa, ideally the girl keeps her engagement a secret from everyone. During chapter dinner, the President turns off the lights and the girls hum a special Kappa song. The president walks throughout the room passing a candle around the tables which has the engagement ring tied to it. The engaged girl chooses a few friends to each read a special quote or Bible verse while everyone tries to guess who's engaged. The last reader opens her card with a quote and has the pleasure of announcing the engagement to the chapter, and I was so blessed to have that job! I do have to say Paige is exceptionally sneaky, as I had NO idea she'd been engaged almost a week and had kept it a secret from me, only wearing her engagement ring when I wasn't in our room. Congrats to Paige and Jacob - I'm so happy for them!
Other than that I've just been busy with school. I have a little over a week left until I am completely done with my undergraduate career: 3 tests and a paper next week, and only one final exam and a paper the following Monday and it's summertime. Keep checking in -- I promise I'll be better at posting :)
Happy Sunday,
A
