Here are some random pictures of me that Corey took over break (before I went and hacked-up my hair... ::tear::)

I had a great thanksgiving break!  Corey and I spent Thanksgiving day at the Griffaw's.  Of course the meal was amazing!  I ate WAY too much.

It was great to spend time with my adopted family.  Can't wait till Dec 19th when we celebrate Christmas at their house!

Corey and I went to Carrollton last weekend to be introduced to the congregation and to attend a volunteer meeting.  We had a great time meeting and getting to know our new church family as well as becoming more familiar with the area.  Corey is particularly excited that there is a Moe's in town.  Four days later he is still saying "Welcome to Moe's!" at random moments throughout the day!  I'm particularly excited about the organic, vegetarian culture.

We also went apartment hunting and were successful!  (The above is not the place we picked, but the picture cracked me up!)  Our place is very small, but we don't plan on being there forever.  Now to pack up our junk...

My friend Laura had a baby girl, Amelia, several weeks ago.  Amelia is the cutest baby I have ever seen.  I am not one to hold newborns, but I couldn't help myself!

Last week the dining hall, with the assistance of the Student Life Committee, hosted an 80's Banquet.  Students dressed up in their 80s attire and enjoyed an evening of 80s food, music, games, and videos.  They served foot long hot dogs that were insanely difficult to eat.  The air guitar contest was awesome.  I had a blast dressing up!  Fun times at MACU!

With Buddy, Rich, and my husband together you know geocaching is a must.  During our camping trip, we found two caches.  The first was along a cool walking trail right on the camp grounds. 

The second was down the road and REAL sketchy.  It was located next to a house and behind this dilapidated barn inside an old milk cooler.

Cooking over the fire, enjoying the outdoors, sleeping in a tent, and playing games with friends- it was a great trip!

While camping, we took a walk through the woods to the beach.

Yes, those are deer tracks.  On the beach.  This close to the water.  Crazy cool.  And here's a picture of Corey eating breakfast.

This past weekend Corey and I went camping with Rich, Aimee, Danielle, and Buddy.  It was LOADS of fun.

One essential when camping is a campfire.  The first night, we didn't have firewood so we all went scrounging in the woods.  Despite purchasing firewood the next day, searching for fallen limbs became a regular thing during our trip.  At first I was very concerned about finding a tick on me.  Fortunately I did not.  Aimee did though and was freaked the rest of the trip.

Friday night we had hot dogs and baked beans.  The hot dogs were probably the best hot dogs I have ever eaten in my life!  Rich had the awesome idea of toasting the buns over the fire.  It was SUPER yummy.  Rich made grilled cheese for lunch on Saturday.  We cooked spaghetti and toast for dinner that night.  Of course we also roasted marshmallows and made smores.  Corey and Rich even made "cowboy coffee!" Yeah for campfires!

I think a change will do me good.

Last week I bleached my hair.  I intended to color it another color, but I liked the results of bleaching so much I decided to stick with this for a bit.  I bleached it on Wednesday and this was the result.

My roots were WHITE and faded into a light pink (which was awesome!) and then to "bleach" blond.  I bleached it again yesterday so it's even lighter.  I'm totally digging it!

Happy Halloween!

For the MACU party, Corey and some of our friends dressed up as Batman characters.  It was awesome and they all looked amazing!

On Halloween, I joined the DC brigade and we took to the streets in our costumes.  We got stopped several times for pictures.  It was a lot of fun.  Unfortunately, none of us remembered to take our own pictures...

Of course we also carved a pumpkin.  I really only bought it for the seeds, which we roasted and were very yummy.  We took the smiling lantern (that I carved 10 minutes before) to the freshmen/sophomore larping social.  After everyone got done beating up each other, they smashed my pumpkin to pieces.
