It is so nice to be done with school and home for the holidays!! So glad that my semester is finally over and that I get a fresh start in the new year, new classes, new professors, etc. I am also starting a new internship in January. It is with ClearImage, which is a marketing firm and I will be working in the business development and marketing research departments. It is unpaid which is never fun but I am hoping the experience will be worth it! I'll keep you guys updated on that in the near future.
I got to meet Lincoln last week and he really is the cutest thing ever! I was paranoid to hold him at first, forgot how tiny newborns are. I caught on after a day, needed to because he loves to be held and I am a good auntie so of course I was picking him up whenever he made the slightest of noises. Hope to see the little reptilian again soon :) Ava is also adorable. She is such a little Princess, and I love it and her obsession with pink. My roommates always ask to see pictures of her and we are plotting to steal her and bring her to our apartment. Personally I think she would fit right in.
The weather in NC is so weird this time of year. Two days ago it was almost 70 and then today it was 35. I really hope if it continues to be so cold we see some more snow this year, we have just had some flurries and I'm kinda hoping for a little bit more.
I'm off to bake Christmas cookies, hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

Palin, DC, Birthday, Thanksgiving
November Updates:
Right before the elections I attended a Sarah Palin rally. Overall it was an incredible experience. It was the first time I had ever been around so many people at one time with similar views of my own. I hope to see more of Sarah in the future!
Some of the line to get into the arena
Bob Dole
Sarah Palin
November 13-17 I was in Northern Virginia with my little from AKPsi and her roommate. We stayed at her parents house and went to DC, Georgetown and a Redskins game. It was great to explore DC again and see all the monuments again. Georgetown was fun, lots of great shopping!
Touching the Washington Monument
In front of the Monument
In front of the Capital
On that Sunday we went to the Redskins vs. Cowboys game. It was a night game and is a pretty big rival game so it was a really neat experience for my first pro game. My little's family has a Garden Center and they have passes to seats around the stadium and we got passes to walk on the field before the game and we had seats in the corner of the end zone in the 9th row and passes to the box. Overall it was an amazing time!
View from our seats, the players running onto the field!
Waving the Redskin towel
This is how close I was to Terrell Owens! Tony Romo was just about 50ft away from me!
On the field with Lyndsey!
I turned 21 on the 20th! It was a great time and it feels so weird to be able to buy alcohol. I am officially now an old woman.
Me and my roommate Sarah at the bar
Taking a birthday shot at dinner
Getting carded for the first time
Thanksgiving Break was a great time, the Fescoe's gathered in Myrtle Beach for our annual Turkey Day celebration. We stayed at a new resort called the Ocean Reef and overall it was a good time--especially Friday when I got to celebrate my 21st again at Margaritaville. The food and the drinks were great and it is always nice to be around family that you don't get to see often.
Being 21 is fun, but it is back to the real world of work, school and finals until Dec. 12th then I will get to visit the new baby Lincoln and then Christmas break till January.

Home
I came home for the weekend, just needed a little break from Raleigh and school. Had two tests this past week and registered for classes. Weird to think that I am registering for my last semester as a Junior and this time next year I will be a Senior.. ahhh. Scaryyy to think about!! I registered for all Junior/Senior level classes, taking a variety of Business classes: Marketing, Finance, Ethics, Operations and a Calculus lab.
Not too much going on next week, just one test and some reading for Lit. By some I mean an entire novel, but that's for another post. Halloween is next Friday so I am heading to Greenville to hang out with some friends, I think this year I am going as a football player. Not sure if I will ever out grow Halloween, I just love dressing up and eating tons of candy and of course decorating my apartment with pumpkins and skulls!
Only 26 days till the big 21st birthday!! And then only 32 days till Myrtle Beach for Thanksgiving! Then not too much longer till the Christmas holidays and little Lincoln is born :)

Annoyed
Lately I've been really annoyed with celebrities. This is probably the lamest topic I'm ever gonna discuss but it really annoys me that they think because they are in movies or on tv that they have the right to trash talk politicians. One, they usually have absolutely no formal education past middle school. Two, they are all millionaires, seriously, your worried about my college loans, health care and the lower class? Doubt it. I just can't wait for the election to be over so I can stop watching them preach to us. Ughh. Okay.. I'm done now. Oh and I voted for the first time this election, absentee ballot but still neat to know that I am old enough to help hopefully elect a president.

Fall
I love this time of the year, cooled weather, FOOTBALL and my birthday :) My past few weekends have been full of NC State football and I love it. This past weekend we beat ECU, which was ranked 14th in the nation, go Wolfpack! The weather was a bit chilly when we got out there but by the time the game started at noon it had warmed right up to around 75 degrees, perfect temp for watching a game.
In very exciting news, my 21st birthday is less than 2 months away yay!
Also this past Friday, my roommates and I, hosted the appetizer portion of a progressive dinner. Little bit stressful but overall a success.
Back to the books I go, THREE tests tomorrow :(

My bed, got a new comforter, the walls are a gray/silvery color
The shelf over my desk, and my pretty pink wall of course!

I'm Back!
I've been MIA from the blogging world for awhile but I decided it was about time for me to post again. A lot has changed since my last blog, I am in a new apartment, with a new job and a new course load.
This past summer I completed an online history course and got an A :) It was pretty pain free only 5 weeks and 2 books and I had 3 more credits towards graduation.
I am working at State Employee's Credit Union now in the Call Center. It's pretty flexible because they are open 24 hours a day. Now that classes are starting I work in the morning before my afternoon classes or in the afternoon if I have morning classes. It's not a lot of hours but it's enough right now to keep me busy!
I love my new apartment and new roommates! The old place was nice and I liked my roommates but this new place is already so decorated and I actually hang out with my roomies which is a lot of fun. The past few nights we have all been eating together and it just feels more homey now. I still have some boxes to move to my storage unit/home so when I get all that figured out I will post pictures!
School started on Wednesday the 20th and I am both excited and anxious for the semester. I am finally really getting into Business classes, they are still pretty general ones but at least they are more in my concentration. I am taking one of them online, hope it goes as well as my summer class! My other classes are just to meet other criteria, one is a Literature class, I have to read 11 books, YES 11! Pretty crazy but so far so good. My other class is Insects and People, and as weird as it sounds, I think it may end up being one of my favorites. The teacher seems pretty neat and it is very interactive, should be a good time.
As some of you may know I am not a big fan of country music but Friday night I kinda got talked into buying a ticket to the Kenny Chesney concert. Most of my friends had tickets for months but I had no intention on going. My friends kept talking it up and made it sound like something worthwhile. I was at work and happened to come across someone with an extra ticket and bought it. Needless to say it was a great time! I very much enjoyed myself and foresee myself attending his shows in the future!
The girls before the show
Well that's all for now, I am off to print notes and read for classes. I promise to have an update soon with pictures of my new place.

Golf Tournament, Beach Trip, School Update & Semi-Formal
This past month has been quite hectic! AKPsi has an annual charity golf tournament in April and this year I had a chance to play in it. I have never played 18 holes before so it was quite interesting and I learned I can't really play and need to stick to putt-putt. Although I can't really play it was still a great time and I got a last place trophy out of it.
The following weekend I headed to Cherry Grove, SC for the annual AKPsi Beach Trip. The weather was great and we got to lay out on the beach all day, play some football and just relax before exams started.
After two fun weekends it was time to study for finals. I had four finals within 3 days but was done earlier than all of my friends and finished my sophomore year on April 30th. This was my best semester yet and I finished this semester with a 3.5 GPA and made the Dean's List for the first time!
After exams were over I headed to Williamsburg to visit Chris, Michelle and Ava for a few days. We went to Busch Gardens and it was Ava's first trip and she was just too cute riding the little kiddie rides. I had a great time beating Chris and Michelle at the Wii everyday and playing with Ava. We also saw Ironman and I would recommend it to everyone, it was very good!
Tuesday night I had my semi-formal in downtown Raleigh. It was a lot of fun but sort of bittersweet though because it was the last gathering with all of the seniors.

DISNEY...
A place where dreams really do come true! I had the most MAGICAL spring break in the beginning of March in Florida! My trip began with a quick visit to South of the Border then a short stay at Grammie's which involved some beach time, some shopping time and of course time for Grammie to cook us some wonderful home cooked meals :) I even got ahold of one of her recipes and will be attempting it very soon! Then we headed to Lake Mary and stayed with my friend Sarah's aunt. Her aunt also happens to be a travel agent and got us FREE 3-day park hopper passes to Disney and meal passes for lunch AND dinner! We couldn't thank her enough for all the free stuff!
At South of the Border
First Day:
Magic Kingdom. I haven't been to the Disney parks in probably about 10 years so it all looked new again to me. We may have been some of the oldest people in the park but we probably had the most fun. We rode Space Mountain 5 times and Splash Mountain 3 times! The rides were so much fun but I really enjoyed meeting my all time favorite princess Belle! We took a ton of pictures and want to go back already!
Second Day:
Animal Kingdom and Epcot. I went to Animal Kingdom about two years ago at Christmas time but it was great to go again with friends and in 75 degree weather! It was beautiful as always and it looks just like you stepped into Africa or Asia, it is so crazy how realistic everything there looks. The Safari and the Roller Coaster were my favorites. On the safari the giraffe came right up to our safari car and walked in front of it, so neat! I went and saw Festival of the Lion King, such a great show, and got called on stage!! Kind of embarrassing, I had to make an elephant noise, yeah didn't know what that sounded like! We went to Epcot that night, I wasn't too impressed, the food was amazing but the rides lacked the excitement I was looking for. I'll give them credit for Mission:Space, it was intense!
Third Day:
MGM and Magic Kingdom, again and Downtown Disney. MGM was pretty boring, Rocking Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror were fun, but sooo short. I wish they would make the rides a bit longer! We went back to Magic Kingdom that afternoon and rode all of our favorite rides again aka Space Mountain! That night we headed to Downtown Disney to buy a few things which would of been more enjoyable but it was POURING down rain. Can't complain too much, it was really the only bad storm we encountered. But by the end of that night we were all VERY tired and ready for some sleep and probably a foot massage. Ok I won't bore you anymore with a day breakdown, here are some pictures!
Me and Belle
Future Roomies
Pluto!
Dumbo
Epcot ball
On Stage, he was huge!

End of day 3 haha
I have a ton more pictures so if anyone wants to relive my adventures and see anymore let me know, I know you all do!!

It's Been Awhile..
So I have been MIA from the blog world for awhile. So here is a little update. In the past few weeks I have been very busy with school and work. I now babysit a 9 year old everyday after school and drive her to swim practice plus do things around their house. It is a great job and pays very well. They are a very nice family and the extra money has really helped out.
Last weekend I was in Georgia for a Success Institute (SI) hosted by Alpha Kappa Psi. It was at the Crown Plaza Ravinia right near downtown Atlanta. This was my first trip to Atlanta and I loved it, downtown was really neat and I took a ton of pictures. We saw the Olympic stadium, Georgia Tech, the Coke Factory, plus a ton of other things. SI was really neat, saw a ton of other brother's from AKPsi from all over the place. I went to a really informative session about Recruiters and what to do and what not to do in an interview. They also had programs about increasing involvement in AKPsi, personal finance and a lot of other sessions.
Tomorrow at 8am I am heading out to FLORIDA for SPRING BREAK!! I am heading to Grammie's till Monday and then on Tuesday I will be headed to DISNEY for 3 DAYS! When I return I will be sure to post lots of pictures!
Two weeks till the wedding and all the family arrives!!

Back in Raleigh!
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year! I had a great Christmas at home and it was fun to have the whole family together again. Ava was too cute and is turning into a mini Zsa Zsa, love it! I got lots of great gifts and some new stuff for the apartment.
Before heading home I had a Christmas celebration with the Fab 5.
The tree and all the presents.
Ava opening her bitty baby.
Me, Dad, Chris and Kyle in our new State pants.
I celebrated New Years with a few friends at Heidi's house. It was a lot of fun to hang out with my friends from high school again.
Me and Ashley
Me and Daniel
Well I got back to Raleigh yesterday and after 10 trips up and down the stairs I finally got everything unloaded from my jam packed car. Now if I could only find the energy to unpack everything... School starts tomorrow so I am off to the bookstore to spend a ridiculous amount of money on a few books. Have a great week!
