The one with the waitresses.
So Monday Hillary and I went out job hunting. We filled out applications everyyywhere. Since the economy is so bad it is exhausting finding a job. I know for a fact I at least applied 15-20 places. Its crazy! I've only had a year and a half job experience at glitz n' glam the party boutique and a month at santa plus assisting the Easter bunny. Both were great jobs, but are not well known companies and therefore not terribly great references. Anyways I read cracker barrel was hiring so after a week of stress and a ton of time spent on applications all over memphis Hillary and I drove to Croacker Barrel. The people were WONDERFUL. The manager immediately gave us interveiws on the spot and called us both that evening to set up interveiws for Thursday. Today we went kind of hesitantly, still not sure if we were going to get the job. I went first and the other manager asked me a few quick questions before talking about dress code and orientation! I mentioned I had already promised to babysit for this M TH and F and she said that was fine and that me and Hillary would be able to come in for training Tuesday and Wednesday together! So yayyy that means Hillary got the job too i suppose. I was so excited and when i walked passed Hillary I gave her a big smile, and she knew we got the jobs. I waited in her car and she came out with employment papers in about 30 minutes. We are so excited. Only one downfall... we must wear our hair in ponytails. Everyone knows Claire does not do pontails,... but a job is a job. So Hillary and I went to forever 21 and I got some pretty flower studs with big pearl middles that will look precious with either my pastel blue, pink, yellow, or white short sleeve button downs. Sexyyyy. :]] Heres a picture of Hillary and I excited about our "Welcome to the Cracker Barrel Family Papers."
Tonight Im spending the night at her house. We had yummy pot roast her momma made for dinner and we just now finished Hes just not that into you. :] LOVE THAT MOVIE, LOVE MY BEST FRIEND, AND LOVEEEE MY NEW JOB. (hopefully!!)

The one with the Flood. :[
May 1st and 2nd was insane. The rain poured and poured causing the river to rise 65 feet at its greatest point. It covered countless buisnesses just a mile away from campus. Its hard to believe that Sunday night at 10:00 pm we got a sweet tea at McDonalds and by the next morning it was covered. Our exams for monday and tuesday were cancelled and are now scheduled for Saturday. Kevin and I went down and walked by the river yesterday. Its absolutely devastating to look at.
The one where I catch up on almost 9 months.
Well, I kept thinking, I'll start blogging again tomorrow, or the next day, or the next. Needless to say, that never happened and here I am 8 and a half months later with so much to post about. I want to remember my college years, One day I want to have enough entrys to get one of those blog/books printed to look back on all my fun times! I want to be able to look back at big events like birthdays and anniversaries as well as silly days spent with friends. So I'll try this again.
August 2009
I moved into my dorm room August 27th at Austin Peay State. This is my super cute dormroom. Mom and Dad drove up and Grandma and Grandpa met us in Clarksville. My roomates in Meachem 101 are Megan, Lukita, and Bridgette. Im living with Bridgette next year and can't wait.
Also on this day Kevin and I had been dating for 3 years. :]
So excited about that.
September 2009.
I cant think of anything particularly exciting about September... I pretty much stayed busy going to classes. I took English, Biology and Bio Lab, Apsu 1000, American History I, and Statistics.
Family Day was September 26th. Mine and Kevin's families came up to watch an APSU football game, and stay the weekend.
October 2009
Halloween 2009 Kevin and I dressed as a doctor and nurse. :]
I loved our outfits and was excited about the Halloween Party we were going to with our friends. Luckilly, we drove seperately because after about 15 minutes, and 2 idiots spilling drinks on me, I was ready to GO. We went through McDonald's and got a redbox. Oh Well!
November 2009
No excitement in November.
December 2009
I LOVE CHRISTMASTIME! :]]
We decorated our dormroom and had a Christmas Secret Santa Party before midterms started.
And hung our stockings..:]
At home, Kevin and I went to our churches college biblestudy called NextStep. We had our annual Tacky Christmas Sweater Party. Our sweaters won us some Itunes Gift Cards! :]
Although I dont have any pictures, I had a wonderful Christmas break home with my family. Its soooo nice to wake up in my own bed! I got a GPS system that I ADORE. I was sad to go back to college and miss my family more, but excited to go back and see all the people i missed at college too.
January 2010
January is always good month. Im still in the Christmasy spirit, I love New Years (which Lauren Pesce had a a New Years party and thats always super fun), and Anne's birthday is in January. She turned 16 years old and got her liscence. Go Anne! She passed the drivers test on the first time. I, on the other hand did not. I got stuck with a black guy who had no teeth and mumbled. Mumbler + Hearing Impared Claire= Disaster. I though he said left lane, but he had said turn lane, and he screamed at me, which made me pannick and swerve almost hitting a truck. I cried and cried and cried. In 30 days, I went back and passed the test.
The only pictures I have from January are from January 18th. Kevin and I went to the zoo. I had forgotten it was January when we went to the zoo! It was such a beautiful day!!
I absolutely loved their exhibit called "critter encounters." They had Brushes for you to brush the animals. SO CUTE! At the bird house this bird would NOT get off Kevin's head. We think he liked his own reflection in Kev's sunglasses.
Feburuary 2010
February was a pretty eventful month.
We had a super big snow on the 8th. It caused school to be closed for I think 3 days. Kevin, Bridgette, and I went out and played and made this huge snowwoman and snow ice cream. :]
Valentines Day!! We went to Nashville. Our plans were to shop at the green hills mall, see the movie Valentines Day, and go to the cheesecake factory. We saw the movie, it was completely full. I sat next to a man who was by himself other than his Subway sandwhich he pulled out of his pocket as soon as the movie started. The movie was awesome though. SOOO good. The restauraunt had a 5 hour wait. Obviously, we left, and ate at macaroni grill. Still good. :] Kevin got me flowers, I made him chocolate covered strawberrys.
*** ALSO I wore my new Christmas boots, and I love them Oh SO MUCH.
March 2010
Hillary came up to visit me in March and we had a blast. It was her spring break. She stayed at my dorm 3 or 4 nights. I LOVED it. Unfortunately she has not posted pictures of her visit.. SOOOO.. yes. Get on that Hillary.
I got a JOB! :] I was searching Craigslist for local jobs and saw that they needed people to help with the Easter Bunny at the Governor's Square Mall here. I called the lady and she set up an interview. We chatted and she was awesome. She needed one more girl so I suggested my lovely roomate Bridgette. We both got hired and had the BEST time. We greeted the families, walked the kids to the bunny, set them on his lap, took their pictures, went over prices and packages, and printed them from the computer. SO FUN. I wish they needed me to do this all year round.
*** the fan was on the bunny (Jwuan) when the picture was taken, blowing up my dress making me look about 893 pounds heavier. But, here is the bunny! :], Kinda creepy, I know.
Also, some time in February or March my family and best friend Kathy, came up for the day. We went to the mall, the blackhorse, the riverwalk, and the thai house. It was such a good day, I am so blessed.
April 2010
Easter was April 4th. This was also the day we had to put our Callie cat to sleep last year.
We still Miss her so much.
I had to work the day before Easter until 9 o clock. My mom drove up so that way i wouldnt have to come home late by myself. We got home at 2 am, went to sunrise service, had our usual Easter breakfast and pictures, and went to Nanas for lunch. I rode back with Kevin to school around 4 and napped in the truck. Easter is always one of my favorite days, and Im so glad i didnt have to miss being with my family.
The following weekend was Kevin's fraternity formal. I totally did'nt like the idea of him being in a fraternity at first, but I'm okay with it now. The Alpha Tau Omega Brother's are good guys. :]
The next weekend was my birthday. :]
i LOVE my birthday. Sunday was my actual birthday, but we celebrated the whole weekend.
On friday. Bridgette arranged for all my friends and I to go to Casa Blanca mexican resturaunt for dinner together. My friend Kathy came up for the weekend. They had bought me a cute cake, and the waiters sang to me.
Then on Saturday we went to Nashville to meet Kathy's boyfriend, Chris. We shopped, ate and we bowled at Dave and Buster's. We ate at Macaroni Grill. MMM.
SOOO its been a great two semesters and im ready to take my exams and have fun this summer, that is IF we ever get to take them because of the FLOOD OF MAY 1st 2010. Im going to post about that seperately.
