What an eventful but tiring week it has been! From all night pomp (staying up all night to finish pomping the rest of our homecoming deck) and staying up from 7pm Thursday night to 11am Friday morning, and spending some much needed time with my mom and sister, it has been a blast.
In case you didn't know, Oklahoma State is very well known for the homecoming celebrations every October! Thousands of people lined the streets of University Ave. Friday to check out all of the fraternities and sororities homecoming decks and to grab a snack.. or two.
Here is a shot of our homecoming deck this year.. which does not do it justice.. And here is a shot of the first place winner this year.. just to give you an idea of how outrageous our homecoming decks are:
I'm truly amazed every October when I see these decks.. so much time and effort. Homecoming makes me love OSU even more every year.
Aside from Homecoming, yesterday my bff celebrated her 20th birthday (yeah nothing really happens at 20 but we celebrate anyway!) Her mom made the best bunt cake!! This is a chocolate peanut butter bunt cake with peanut butter frosting and chocolate sprinkles. My bff's favorite is this bunt cake from the store Nothing Bunt Cakes in Norman, but they were all out of this flavor for the month--soo her mom made a nice spin off of it and wow it was tasty!!
And to end my wonderful week I got the opportunity to baptize one of my Switch girls yesterday. Wow. This picture I feel is such a great capture of this serious and joyful moment in which we were celebrating. At my church, Lifechurch Stillwater, we had over 80 people get baptized yesterday. It was such an honor to have been apart of this sweet girl's big day!
On a more personal note, now that homecoming is over I now have enough time on my hands to do things I have been doing but want to do more of.. aka working out, eating healthier, and reading. I borrowed this book from on of my close friends and have heard manyyy people rave about it! I started it (finally yeah I know Tori) and am already 50 pages in. It is definitely an eye opener. It talks about how we live in a society that practices "religion" but doesn't practice a relationship with God. Today, many people believe that just by "acting" like Christians that they are true Christians. I could go on and on about this book, but you should just read it for yourself!
Your (finally) back for good blogger,
