HELLO
Mom to Iris. Wife to Todd. Our little family lives at the foothills of the Ozark Mountains in Fayetteville, Arkansas. We love it here and I love sharing little bits of our life.

Autumny

I’m long overdue for an update, so here one is. The summer fun is over & now I’m a month into the semester taking 16 hours. Classes are ok.. two writing courses (one dealing with Public Relations, the other being more reading than actual writing), Marketing, German, and Biological Anthropology. All my time hasn’t been spent studying though – here’s just a peek at what else I’ve been up too..

The most exciting thing is that I have a new little sister! Lilah Caroline Reese Mcgregor was born a little less than a month ago. She’s so beautiful!

Little Lilah

So teeny.

Sister Sister

After a trip to Jonesboro to visit the new family addition, a group of us enjoied a wonderful French meal cooked (and instructed) by Laura.

Afterwards, we saw Dr. Dog play a free show.

It’s fair time again..

That last picture was for my friend Seth‘s MySpace Photo Challenge. Check it out & play along!

That’s for now. I’ll update sooner next time & might even start posting videos, since I just bought my first video camera!

Till then..

The Last Hurrah

With only a week left until the fall semester starts, I said goodbye to summer in style w/ a trip to Tybee Island with some of my bestest peeps. For more detailed look at our days, check out crasymaker.com.

Summer Lovin

Whew! This past week has been seriously fun and seriously exhausting. By the time the actual night of the 4th of July rolled around, I was in bed watching about a dozen romantic comedies, even though the fireworks kept drowning out Mathew Mcconaughey southern accent. Here’s proof of huge amount of funness (with some photos left over from the week or so before)…

American Princes

Cory & Dave

GIRLS NIGHT!

Sushi and uh… The Blair Witch Project.
