Girls Night!

Natalia and I at Fredricko's
Saturday we had a girls night after The Big Event. We planned to go to Texas Roadhouse and then the movies. We had been craving Texas Roadhouse all that day! But when we got there, there was an hour wait! So we ended up going to eat Mexican food instead. We wanted to go somewhere other than Los Cucos so I recommend going to Fredricko's (the place I had my high school graduation party). We should of just went to Los Cucos because the food was pretty bad! Afterwards, Natalia, Kristan, Cait, and I decided to rent Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist instead of going to see a movie. It's pretty cute! Poor Kristan got sick though. Tonight we are going to go back to Roadhouse bc im sure there wont be a wait on a Monday night!

The Big Event and meeting President Bush!


Last night my friend Natalia and I went to Brenham to babysit at a church for Parents Night Out. A girl that's in Aggie Sister's for Christ with Natalia put it on as a fundraiser to make money to go to El Salvador in August for a mission trip. I was so excited that I got put in the nursery. I love babies! I was in the room by myself and at first it was okay bc I just had two babies. One was a little boy who was 12 months and the other was a little girl who was 18 months. But then 3 more came in that were 5 months and 15 months. I was getting kinda nervous! Lol. But thankfully I got some help...Natalia ended up coming into the nursery with me. One little girl cried the WHOLE time and if we put her down she would start screaming. The best one was the 5 month old. She was a cute little black girl names Alayna. She was the best baby she didn't cry once!!!


Once a year at A&M they put on this thing called The Big Event. It's where the students at A&M help out around the community for the day to say thanks. Kristan and I forgot to sign up in Feb. so we were hoping that we could sign up today. When we got there they let us sign up and make our own group. We named our group Short Stuff since we are both under 5 foot. Ha! Between 8-9 they had a band playing and speakers. And the last speaker was President George Bush Senior! After he spoke, Kristan and I tried to get closer to the stage to get a better picture of him. Then Kristan told me she was gonna ask him if we can come on stage to take a picture with him and Mrs. Bush. So Kristan goes, "Mr. President I was wondering if I could possibly take a picture with you. My uncle got to take a picture with you a couple years back at an Astros game and is always bragging about it. Could my friend Christa and I come on stage to take a picture with you"? I was acting like I didn't know her and was trying to hide my face. President Bush said of course we could. Then I decided to be her friend again...since he said we could. I was like oh yeah the friend she is talking about is me! So the secret service let us get on stage and they took a picture of us with President Bush and Barbara. Afterwards, everyone was asking us how we got to go up there. Here is a picture of us on stage with him! I took it with my camera phone so its not the best.


Here is a picture of Caitlin and I taking a picture with Larry King in Hollywood a couple of years ago. I guess I like taking pics with old men!
Kristan and I got assigned a job today washing windows at this old lady's house in Bryan. She was probably in her eighties and she was really sweet. We were happy we didn't get assigned something too heavy duty! Haha!

Here is picture of me ( the back of me) meeting Jenna and Laura Bush at a book signing at Barnes and Nobles in the summer. I guess now I just need to meet George W. Bush and I would of met the whole family.

Almost Friday!


I actually got to watch American Idol this week! I thought Matt did a really good job singing Lets Get it On. And I really liked the way Allison sang Papa Was a Rolling Stone. Adam seems a little different but definitely has a lot of talent! I cant believe Matt was in the bottom 3 tonight. I thought Megan should of been one of the bottom 3 instead of him. She cant sing or dance. But I'm glad the other guy got kicked off instead of Matt. Did you see Smokey Robinson and that girl sing? They were horrible! My mom thought they needed to get a room! ha! He was too old to be up there and kept starring at that girl.

This week I have been trying to figure out my school schedule out for the summer. I signed up to take calculus at Lonestar College in The Woodlands the second half of the summer. I need to take this class at a community college since last semester I had to drop it at A&M. Then the first half of the summer I need to take an online math course though Houston Community College and INST at A&M. However, the only teacher they have teaching the INST class I heard is horrible and doesn't know how to teach. So I'm not sure what to do! I am meeting with an advisor tomorrow to see if I can take something else instead of the INST. So this means no vacation to Florida or wherever unless we go between summer 1 and 2 sessions :(

Tomorrow night I am volunteering at a church in Brenham with my friend Natalia. We are going to babysit from 6:30-11:30. And Saturday is the Big Event (which is a huge event where people volunteer for the city of College Station/Bryan). Kristan and I forgot to register for it so we are hoping we can still do it! Hope everyone had a good week!

DWTS, Jon & Kate Plus 8, American Idol

Have ya'll been watching DWTS? Who are your favorites? I still like Melissa, Shawn, and Chuck Wicks. Last night I thought the Apple co-founder guy Steve Wozniak did horrible!! I cannot believe he didn't get kicked off tonight! People must be voting for his partner Karina Smirnoff. I'm happy Denise Richards got kicked off. She seemed so uncomfortable out on the dance floor. I cant believe her hair piece fell out last night!

Have you ever seen the TV show on TLC called Jon and Kate Plus 8? I just started watching it this year...since I FINALLY have cable! Haha! Jon and Kate have a set of twins and a set of sextuplets. Kate is always getting on Jon for something and is kind of moody. But I think I would be too if I had that many kids. Supposedly, Jon cheated on her and there is a picture of it online. I'm not too sure if I believe that or not. Who could cheat on someone with 8 kids? Last night on the season finale they kinda talked about the rumor. They said they are not sure if they are coming back next season because of it.

I love American Idol and this season I have not been watching!! I think it is because I'm busier this semester and I have night class on Wednesday. Tomorrow night my class is cancelled so maybe I will watch it. I heard everyone is really good this season? Do ya'll have a favorite yet? Cant you tell I love reality TV? lol

It's over!! Back to school :(

Friday was a lot of fun! My friend Kristan's mom got free tickets to see Taylor Swift and Kristan invited Caitlin and I. Thank you Kristan for inviting us and letting us stay with you! We had a lot of fun checking out the cute cowboys, riding the rides, and eating! Ha! The carnival part is really expensive now! Each ride cost about 8 or 9 tickets. So we split the price of 100 tickets for $50. We got to ride about 3 rides each. I was so sore the next day from holding on so tight! And a corn dog cost 8 bucks! We ran into Michelle, George, Lauren, and Cameron there! Also, my friend Natalia went and I got to meet her mom!


Lauren looks older than me!!

Taylor Swift was really good! She really got the crowd going. She said that she has never seen a crowd that big before. There was like over 70,000 people there. I got back to College Station today. Caitlin and I went to go lay out today by the pool. We were joking that college is the life! :) I'm dreading starting school back up tomorrow!!! Hope everyone had a great weekend and spring break!

I for got to mention that during the concert Taylor Swift introduced one of the guys in her band and when she introduced him he started playing the Aggie War Hymn song on his in guitar thing. I am guessing he went to A&M. It also looked like he had an A&M ring on this finger. So that was pretty cool!
I took this picture for Kimbelry bc she loves the Twlight series!P.S. I found this really cool website called http://www.picnik.com/
You can crop pictures, change its color, add stickers, add text, etc.

Taylor Swift and Goose's Acre

I'm about to head off to the mall to try and find an outfit for the Rodeo tomorrow night. My friend Kristan got us all free tickets tomorrow night to see Taylor Swift! I am really excited because I have never seen her before in concert. Caitlin actually got to meet her a couple years back at a concert in Atlanta. We are planning on spending the entire day at the Rodeo tomorrow to do the carnival and stuff. This is Caitlin's first time ever to go to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo!Yesterday, my mom and I went to go get pedicure's which was nice. I realllly needed it!! My toes were pretty bad! My mom always jokes they look like Mammy's. Ha! Last night my good friend Maegen and I went to dinner at 7 Leguas. Then we went to the Woodlands River walk to have a drink at a pub called Goose's Acre Bistro and Irish Pub. It's really nice because they have a patio you can sit on and it is right by the river. Sometimes they also have a live band at night. I wonder if one day if the river walk in The Woodlands will have as many restaurants on it as the one in San Antonio??
