The cookies were very delicious and our friends really enjoyed them, I think almost as much as we enjoyed making them!

Twilight and Horseback Riding

Last Thursday night was the Twilight New Moon premier. Ashley, Cowan, and myself bought our tickets about a month ago. Here we are waiting in line outside of the theater! We were so glad that it wasn't very cold. We didn't have to wait outside long before we got to go inside because theater was ready! We waited inside for about 3 hours....oh but it was SOOOOO worth it!

Ashley SUPER pumped to be going into the theater! Cowan even brought her New Moon book to read while we were waiting. She wanted to make sure that her memory was up to date, HAHAHA!
Cowan and I had been talking about taking a day and going horseback riding for a while now, so after church on Sunday we decided to head to Eureka Springs, AR.
Here I am all saddled up ready to go on the trail ride!
Cowan's horse was sooo big!
All ready to ride! You can see our trail guide in the background. He told us that he used to be an Indian chief and now he has 4 pet wolves....but, he was very good at telling us about the scenery and what to do on our horses when we were going down hills and things.
Cowan on the trail. The sun was just setting. It was truly beautiful.

My horse, Dusty! :) He was very handsome!


We had so much fun horseback riding and will definitely be back in the spring to see all the trees green and the flowers bloomed.

P.S. I am reading Dear John by Nicholas Sparks right now and you guys need to read it! It is SOOO good!

Welcome Fall!

A dear friend of my family, Lisa, lives in Newport Beach, California. My aunt Betty that also lives in California was here visiting. Lisa had never been to Arkansas, so she came for a few days and then flew back when my aunt Betty did.

We took her on a quick tour. This is us in front of Razorback Stadium! This is a random picture of my friend Rachel and I. I am so glad that I met her and became very close friends with her. She is a freshmen this year. She is in the band and also plays the piccolo. :)
My high school friend, Hayley got married last weekend at a beautiful glass chapel. She looked gorgeous! Her husband is in the marines, so she is moving to Washington D.C. to be with him! Such a sweet story!
Hayley and I at the reception.
These are a few friends from high school that were at the wedding. I am bummed it came out blurry.

THANK YOU so much to all of you that voted for me on Idol Smiles! I actually ended up winning! You guys are the BEST!!

Everyone have a good rest of the week! I have a busy week ahead, two tests and a presentation.
