It's A Wonderful Life...

The past few weeks have been out of control with school coming to a close and preparing for finals, I am having trouble finding time to breathe! Never fear, everything is under control and a little chaos never hurt anybody now did it! I can't believe that my first semester of senior year is over, time really does fly when you're having fun. I thought I would catch everyone up to speed as to what has been happening in my life over the past few months so hang on tight you are in for one wild ride!

Between doing homework, leading a bible study, working and participating in all of the wonderful events that have taken place, I saw the fall semester of my senior year fly by! As the famous saying goes, "A picture is worth a thousand words" and I feel that posting pictures of my semester and the events that happened would better describe the adventures I went on then any words could, so I am proud to present the first semester of Emily's senior year in pictures!



So this is what we woke up too outside of our house on the first day of class!



My gang of friends at the annual Campus Crusade Barn Party!



The rooms and I at one of the football games!



Rooms and I before Semi-Formal!



My handsome date and I at dinner!



My crazy friend Mark and I



Best Friends!



Our handsome dates!



My beautiful Bible Study girls!



The life and the party!



So I have recently become obsessed with cooking and baking so here is the pumpkin pie that I made for Thanksgiving!



Our last football game where we beat Carolina!



Rooms and I with Santa and Mrs. Claus at the Cru Christmas party.



Brandon and I at the Cru Christmas party!



This describes our relationship perfectly!



Brain twin and I on our first hunting trip :)



First time hunting and I shot a deer!



So there is a funny store about this four wheeler and basically the gist of it is that Brandon could never get it started and my friend Sam, who so graciously set this hunting trip up, was stranded outside in the freezing cold waiting for Brandon to come pick him up! Haha!

So those are just a few of the adventures that I have had this semester! I am done with exams and will be venturing to Charlotte tomorrow to hang out with a pretty awesome family and then I will be homeward bound! I can't wait to see my mom, dad and brother on Sunday. I am looking forward to spending some quality time with them and I love our house at Christmas because it is absolutely beautiful, my mom is extremely talented when it comes to decorating and she missed her calling! I know my mom and I are going to have some great adventures in the kitchen as we prepare for our annual Christmas Eve dinner where my entire family comes to our house to celebrate Jesus' birthday :) I am so blessed to have a wonderful family and I am extremely thankful for them!

I hope Santa is good to everyone and I will be writing again soon! Thank you for all your prayers, God has been so good over the past few weeks and I wouldn't have been able to get through it without Him or your prayers!

Merry Christmas!!
