Well let's start with the shoulder- I'm sure you were all quite concerned after viewing my near-death-looking pictures with the frozen chicken sitting atop my harnessed shoulder. Good news: it's a lot better! I only had like 3 days of the really bad pain, and for the last 2-3 days, it hasn't been bad at all! I'm still being careful with it, and keeping it in the sling as much as I can so I can go full out on Saturday at the reception. If you're in my family and you're reading this, is your mind going straight to the wedding when I was like 3, running an insane temperature, and crying only because my mom had to tear me from the dance floor to give me medicine? I really do remember that happening. The medicine was red. {side note- why do they keep trying to "flavor" medicine? They call it cherry and 3 year old, me, is scarred for life and never wants to touch a cherry again because it reminds me of the time I threw up my "cherry" flavored medicine all over my mom.} It's only pills for me now. But back to the subject at hand- my health. I had another Dr.'s appt. today......For my ankle. Turns out I have achilles-tendonitis. Sooo........I'm supposed to give it a break for a while and ease back into dance. My dance teachers are going to think I'm full of crap when they hear THIS one.

| This is how I feel about cake balls |
I had an interview on Tuesday for a family leadership conference I'm really interested in, and also one that Sarah did when she was here. It was one of her very favorite memories from A&M, and really encouraged me to go for it! So I did, got an interview, and now I wait. The process was intimidating, but hey- even if I don't get it (first of all, I'll tell you either way) but, it'll be alright because I was happy with how it went. But the picture with the finger "gun"is just because of the intimidation factor.
Cake balls on the other hand are NOT intimidating. Literally, cake balls are my favorite thing to eat. {Now, please don't take this as a cue to get those for me for my birthday. That would be way too much pressure to eat them all and I would get sick for sure.} Too much of them and you'll be sick in a hurry, but in moderation, those little devils areeeee DANGEROUSLY good! One of my roommates, Corey, is a really great baker, and made these "eyeball" cake balls just for fun! If you don't know how to make them, or if you've never had them....allow me to make you salivate- You bake a normal cake (white in our case) and let it cool for a bit. Then, with a mixer, you crumble the cake. Next, you mix the cake with icing (right?) until it is a bit thicker than cake batter, and put it in the fridge for 3 hours. After it sits, you'll take it out, ball it up and cover it with melted chocolate. Pop them in the freezer to let the chocolate harden like a shell.........and enjoy! The Halloween ones are white, with an m&m "pupil" and red icing for veins :) I got legitimately upset when Meredith tried to take some to John's house for Allison's birthday. I hid them in my room.................I'm not kidding.
Next order of business- studying. Today I had a political science test. So last night was crunch time! I love that we have a porch at my house and I love that it's so nice outside. So, naturally, I love to be outside if I have to study. Isn't everything sweeter on a porch?

I had to look up how to spell the word "ottoman"...that's embarrassing. Well my poli sci test was probably easier than any test I ever took in high school. So I hope I did well. We had lots of people over last night to study. Catherine threw that ottoman at Jadams. Meredith debated the idea of majoring in political science. And then decided against it. Marshall fell asleep when I was still quizzing him. I was told that I reminded my friend of one of their friend's moms...and that notion was confirmed by Corey after she told me this woman was the weirdest chick she knows. Mogk pulled an all-nighter for this dumb test. I became obsessed with Willow Smith- the 9-year-old sensation- artist behind "I whip my hair back and forth"....look up the music video- seriously, you'll wish you were cooler as a 9-year-old. And as a group, we will never forget these 3 things- The president has 3 rights- Expressed power, Delegated power, and Inherited power.
In just a few hours, I'll be headed home to tip off all the wedding festivities! I could NOT be more excited!!! Give me a chance to dress up, go home, be with family, dance all night, eat finger food, and watch my sister commit her life to loving someone else-in front of a their favorite people-in a place of worship...and I'm set. I know Jesus is so happy with this unity built on Him, and I know He celebrates with us on Saturday!
Let's get this party started...mom's not pullin me off the dance floor this time!
{wedding pictures to come!}
Nothin but love,
Bethany
