Hello, my name is Stefanie and I have an addiction

To Friday Night Lights and Pinterest.

Let me just say, I had been told SEVERAL times to try Friday Night Lights but it wasn't until last week when I had some time on my hands (maybe too much time) that the obsession began. I may have watched over half the first season in one day/night. It is just SO good. I think my students are concerned with my love but I'm telling you, it's awesome.



The show has a little of everything. Drama, sports, humor. It's just...addicting. I did not finish season one this week but I assure you, I will. There are five seasons and luckily Sarah owns all five so I can just power through, though I fear what it will be like when I watch that final episode.

My favorite character is of course Matt Saracen :)



So yes, I am addicted. I will start using Coach's sayings in ACE meetings and adapt them as my own. My current favorite is: "There are two ways to do something my way and the wrong way". We will see how that works. :)

My other addiction: pinterest. Basically it just allows me to find recipes I want to make, outfits I want to wear and other things I love plus I get to see what my friends find. It's awesome and addicting.

Anyway, I know this will blow people's minds but I have a wedding this weekend. My dear pledge sister Kathleen gets married on Saturday so I am going to see my boo LK and we'll be living the dream with many of our other favorite people. I will be spending extra love time with LK since she is moving to LOUISIANA next month to start her new job at McNeese State. I am of course so excited for her but man that will be far!

I have to thank Miss. Jennifer Stollery for a card that made my day today. Between her and Kelly Ann Shanley they have brightened my week with love notes and I appreciate it.

In closing... I would like to share that I will be dressed as Dorothy tomorrow for my second year as the leading lady in the Campus Activities Goulish Gala competition. If you do recall I was Snow White last year.

This costume will be less homemade. :) I promise.

Peace and Blessings xoxo

Things I shouldn't quit my job to do...

Blog. Well there are probably several other things I shouldn't quit my job to do but I will spare you that list. An exotic dancer tops it off.

Well to follow up on my last post, the speech was written and delivered:

I would argue it went pretty well... some laughs, some tears, what more you want in an MOH speech? I will let Mrs. Best be the true judge, but based on her tears and laughs I'd say, it was a hit.

The truth is I would've done anything to make that day perfect for her, luckily I didn't have to, the man at the end of the isle is all she needed. I am so happy for Mr. & Mrs. Best who got back from their honeymoon in Antigua this week.

A few more pictures from the wedding:

There are more pictures to come but it was an incredible weekend and I am so lucky to have gotten to share it with so many of the people I love.

Other than that... October is chugging along. Last weekend I traveled with 7 of my students to Myrtle Beach, SC for the NACA south conference. We had a great time but if some of you recall last year there was a prank done by my students involving a mask. This year, my students tried to one up last years group by purchasing plastic seagulls (seahawks if you will) and rigging them up in the closet where my banquet dress hung so as to tap into my fear of waterfowl. Lucky for me, they had to check out of the room before I was able to get to the closet and therefore, their prank turned into stuffing my purse with the plastic waterfowl. They did however act out the prank and video tape it which I'm sure will make it's way to my facebook page soon.

My true concern: the plastic fowl are missing. Therefore, I fear when they will resurface. I live in fear.

This weekend is my only uneventful one of the month, next weekend I will travel to see one of my wonderful pledge sisters, Kathleen, get married. Sarah and I are hosting friends tonight for "Fall fun". For me, this means pumpkin flavored things, soups in the crock pot, apple cider (the adult kind). For my roommate, this means bedazzling pumpkins. For those of you who don't know my roommate, she loves anything with glitter :) Exhibit A.

I hope everyone out there is well. I sadly know so many people going through some challenges right now I just want to send love to anyone who has something challenging them right now. As silly as it sounds, you can't appreciate the good without the bad. Just know whether it's me or someone else in your life remember there is always someone to lean on.

Lots of love from Stefanie Jo
