Guess What I'm Doing?

Watching TV!!!!!

And you are thinking, why does this matter?  Well, while the rest of you watch tv at you house every night I have not had TV or internet at my apartment since moving to Fayetteville.  Today,  however the men from AT&T came and installed Uverse.  I am really pleased and it is not too expensive either (aka it is cheaper than cox).  Well back to TV!

The Starting Line

Well, July is here, and it is going to be a crazy month! In a lot of ways I feel like I have spent the last several months, since getting back from Rome, just keeping myself busy and playing (probably because I have been). Now, that July is here, that is all going to change. Everything in my life is going to be crazy busy. I haven't even made it through the 1st weekend of July and I am pretty sure there is something on my calendar for every weekend between now and November 1. Whether is it school, work, or social I am really excited that my life is about to take off!

This month one of my best friends will get married, I will wrap up my internship with the FYE Office, and I will start my Graduate Assisitantship with the Office of Greek Life. Everything about this month is a huge blessing.

Though things have been crazy with the planning of Megan and Justin's wedding I am very excited and honored to stand next to Megan in less that 30 days as she and Justin become man and wife. Megan and her mom have worked so hard on planing the big day and I can't wait to see the results. (I heard a rumor about pool tables and Wii) Megan and Justin will be a wonderful family and I can't wait to see them become wonderful parents when Elizabeth Amalia Boeving arrives in November. But between now and then there are lots of showers and party's for attending and hosting. Including there Battle of the Sexes Shower at Fast Lanes next week.  Just for fun here is a link to Megan and Justin's Engagement Video and a Picture of the cute couple at Megan's Graduation about 24 hours before Justin proposed.



July should be exciting in FYE as well. We just finished up New Student Orientation, and Parent and Family Orientation. Over the month of June the office welcomed over 3500 students and their families to campus in an effort to help them prepare for the transition to college and life at the University of Arkansas. It has been a very educational and fun experience learning about the ins and outs of putting on an orientation program of this scale. The rest of my internship will be spent helping the office prepare for projects that will take place later in the summer and evaluating the work we have done over the past month.

My Graduate Assistantship with the Office of Greek Life is, by far, what I am most exited about this coming month. This job is truly a gift from God, and seeing his faithfulness in the process has truly been a blessing. (If you want to here more about this story, just let me know. I would love to share.) On July 19th, I will begin working as the GA in the Office of Greek Life. This position should compliment my academic studies very well. I will have the opportunity to work with lots of students in many different ways. It will be hard work at times, but it will also be fun and challenging. To say I am looking forward to it would be an understatement.

So July...
On your mark, get set, GO!
