On October 18th, I started a big girl job in an industry that I knew next to nothing about: finance. I say 'knew' next to nothing because for my first two weeks all I have been doing is studying. STUDYING. I thought that I was done with school... what the heck?! But for this new job I have to pass a couple licensing exams and it's pretty much consumed my life. I have honestly never studied this much in my life. The good news is that I passed the first one, and am taking the second tomorrow and, barring failure, will be done with studying!
Another new thing these days is that I am starting to lead Young Life in Liberty, MO. Liberty YL is in a redeveloping stage and so the time I spend mainly revolves around going to events and trying to meet students. For instance, Friday night our team volunteered at the junior high's haunted house. They gave us the job of guiding groups through, which I was incredibly awful at. I'm still getting the hang of YL, but I'm excited for the adventure that lies ahead.
So, everyone who is reading this should know that I went to the University of Missouri. Last weekend Columbia hosted Mizzou's 99th Homecoming celebration. 99th! It is also important to note that my alma mater invented homecoming. INVENTED IT! IN 1911! Pretty awesome if you ask me. Not only was the game a HUGE one vs. then #1 Oklahoma, but ESPN's CollegeGameDay decided to come and help the Tigers celebrate Homecoming. Zach scalped some tickets for cheap and so we got to witness our Tigers beat #1 OU! It was amazing... and of course I forgot to take my camera to the game. Typical. I also got to spend time with my ex-roomies and favorite dog. Here are some pictures from the weekend...

| Vampire Dog After mourning Mizzou's first loss of the season, we needed something to redeem the weekend. Cue Chiefs win, and Zach's oldest brother and sister in law's Halloween party. Cute kids in costumes, chili, adult bevs, trick or treating through old folks lane, and eating toooo much candy. Zach's niece and nephew were SUPER cute. Elijah was a piece of pizza (hilarious), and Andi was a fairy (super sweet). So there's what I've been up to while missing from cyberspace... now off to bed because I'm a grown up now and am getting up in the 5 o'clock hour tomorrow- ahh! |

Glad to have you back. I need a little of your signature yada, yada, yada in my life Good luck on your test!!!! Listen to some hardcore gangsta rap in the morning and then you'll just *know* you're going to ace that bad boy. (That was my fail-proof method during college!)
Wish I'd have known you were in Columbia! Miss and love you!
