MY BEST FRIEND IS GETTING MARRIED!!!!

So, clearly I am excited and many of you know but KELLY ANN SHANLEY is getting married!

Adam Best sure did propose on Friday evening, and she said YES! I can not begin to tell you how happy I am for the two of them. It's the strangest feeling when your closest friend gets engaged... I remember back to getting ready for dances and dates, holidays with our families, vacations, girls nights, trips to visit each other and now that this dream of her's has come true makes me feel so happy. So...shout out to you Kelly Ann Shanley :) I love your life so much! Let the planning beginning. I got your teeth whitening appointment scheduled ;)

Happy Halloween to everyone as it is 10/31/10. Halloween is one of those holidays that I have never really gotten excited about. This year I was in charge of organization an office decorating competition in the two unions.  We in CAIC let our students decide on the theme and they chose Snow White in the Seven Dwarfs. They asked me to dress as Snow White to which I agreed..then it occurred to me on Wednesday that I did not own a snow white dress. So, being the smart sorority girl that I am I went to Walmart to get some supplies. I was disappointed to find that Walmart no longer sells fabric and since I was in a crunch I had to get creative (scary I know) so I grabbed a twin flat sheet and some elastic and went home to get creative. I also took some white felt and went home to make the magic happen. Here was the result:

Here is me with "Prince Charming" (the student body president)

Snow White & Dopey (Keith, one of the Involvement Specialists)

Now, clearly I could not wear a bedsheet downtown last night (though I might have fit in) so instead I went with simple, comfortable and cheap: Derek Jeter

The ladies at Blue Post :)

 I also got to experience for the first time the Rocky Horror Picture Show (interactive). I must say I was amazed to see that many students in their...underpants? And so many of them knew the words and when to shout things. I was amazed. It was... an experience. Speaking of movies I did get to go see the Sound of Music Sing-A-Long. I learned many things seeing one of my favorite childhood films on the big screen:
1. The right words to most of the songs
2. The butler is who calls the Nazi's to come get the Vontrap family when they try to flee the country (who knew?)
3. It's obvious why I related so well to the movie as a child. For example, when Captain Vontrap sings to the children Edelweiss all I could think is that could easily have been me and my father, only the guitar would be invisible and the song would be "Born to Run".
4. The song Maria could easily be a song my friends would sing about me and lastly...
5. I hope to one day have children that perform at the galas I will throw in my house :)


Other than that...life is good. We submitted our first spring show offer on Friday. No, I won't say who it is and yes I would appreciate you crossing your fingers :) 

Next up: ECU vs. Navy game with the newly engaged couple, my second family and Casie Stone + Thanksgiving with the Wilmington crew. Should be good :)
