Recruitment 2011

I'm off to Alpha Delta Pi's Recruitment Alumnae Day tomorrow, and couldn't be more excited. I have been missing my sisters like CRAZY over the past few days while they have been in spirit week, so I wanted to pass along this little tid bit.

Looking for your home away from home? Alpha Delta Pi is where it is at. When I think about college and my experience at the University of Arizona, Dustin and Alpha Delta Pi are my only memories [when you find the loves of your life in college it drowns out all the classes and smaller club memories]. And most of the time those two are very closely linked.

So if you're going through recruitment in just a few days keep this in mind....

pi love to all my sisters! I'm so excited to see you all in just a few hours!!!

I wanna talk about me

I never had the chance to share some of my senior pictures with y'all!

My sister (ADPi), Claire, took some awesome senior shots of Dustin and I.

Which one did you like the best? It took me a million years to pick the 5 that went out in graduation announcements. She's just so talented! and inspired me to take a look into photography myself.

Thanks again Claire!


worth a thousand words. 

6 months in the making

My graduation party has been on my mind for quite some time. And I have continuously had little thoughts floating in my head for the big day. It was exactly what I was hoping for!

The theme was a vintagy-adult carnival, and I got my graduation announcement ideas from vistaprint.com (whom I LOVE).
