This Week's Top 10

In an effort to think positively and really just update you on all the random stuff (each of which may not be particularly blog worthy) I'm going to do a weekly "Top 10" for your enjoyment. Actually- We're going to do a this week's Top 11 in light that I now have 11 loyal followers!!!! WOO!! These are in no particular order.

11. Getting to tailgate with my sorority sister's last Saturday- and carpool with Hasley to the game. There really are few things that I enjoy more than catching up with my sisters. It's one of the wonderful joys of joining a sorority.

10. Realizing last night that I paid some $25 dues to Executive Office of Alpha Delta Pi for no good reason. They said it might have been for them "Remember Me" fund. They better remember me- I'm not going to forget my $25!

9. Last Saturday- I discovered that Lisa (Matt's mom) and I were wearing pretty much the same outfit to the game. Like... same shirt, same watch, similar orange sandals, similar black Coach sling purse, and jeans (although hers were capris). PRICELESS!

8. Yesterday, Sarah Shroud was freed from the Iranian prison after 14 months for hiking across the Iranian border. The downside is that they released her because she has some serious health problems. The other downside is that her 2 friends are still there. This made me cry this morning, but I am happy that they're making progress. You can watch the news story about it here.
7. You guys know from my post a few weeks back that I really like Jari Askins. She really is a nice lady and I am glad that I have had a couple of opportunities to meet her. She's the kind of person that seems like she'll listen to the people about their concerns. Her campaign ad on t.v. this week was hilarious- she really just responded to a slam against her and I say good for her!
You can watch it here. Mary Fallin may or may not have made the campaign ad against Jari (I mean mud slinging is part of the game and I get that) but I think politicians in general should be cautious about comparing their opponents to the current president. Mary Fallin's ad basically sad we don't like Jari Askins because we don't like Obama (we being Oklahomans) and I don't really like Mary Fallin- or her campaign runners, speaking for me. Although- I'm really not a good example because I like both of them, but I am sure there are plenty of people who don't like Jari- but do like and RESPECT President Obama and vice versa.
6. This engagement party is planned and it's looking like several people are going to come by. I'm really excited that people want to celebrate this special occasion with us.
5. I'm looking forward to trying on dresses this Sunday! To date: we have completed the venue reservations, catering, engagement party, most of the wedding party, engagement pictures, submitted them to the paper, the photographer, pianist, and DJ. I call that progress and I LOVE it!
4. I had a yard sale with my best friend in the whole wide world. I made $19 which I immediately spent in Stillwater. The real profit was getting rid of my stuff (all the left overs went to Goodwill) and I got to spend a few hours with my best friend. That's priceless.
3. I found a new artist that I like and have created a Pandora station for her which I have enjoyed ALL week! Sunny Sweeny. Check her out. She's good stuff.
2. I booked a ticket to go to Midland the weekend of Oct 16th. We're going to the OSU vs. Texas Tech game. I'm soooo excited!
1. I woke up every morning this week. I am free. I am breathing. I am loved. I am more blessed than I ever deserve to be.

Stay tuned for next week's top 10!
