Spooktacular and Conway!

Halloween is just around the corner so of course AOII had to have a function! This year the function was with Alpha Chi Omega and Alpha Delta Pi for an Alpha Spooktacular!!

My date and I went as Mary Poppins and Burt. Some of my friends’ costumes included Toddlers and Tiaras, a dalmation, a cheerleader, Sandy, and an 80s work out star. We went to my friend’s date’s apartment beforehand to hang out and get ready for the function. We all had a great time and Halloween season has officially begun.

 

Monday there is a sisterhood for all of AOII. We are going to a pumpkin patch and are going to do all kinds of fall activities. CAN’T WAIT! I’ll be sure to blog about that later.

Friday after class my friend Mary and I drove to Conway, Arkansas to spend the weekend there for the Arkansas game versus Ole Miss. We went to a restaurant called Stoby’s for dinner, which had the best cheese dip ever. We ran a couple of errands with Mary’s mom and then went to sleep to get ready for a very early morning game.

Saturday morning came bright and early with a 7:30 AM wake up call to get ready for the tailgate and the game. We got ready and then headed towards War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock. After about 45 minutes of tailgating with one of Mary’s friends we decided that it was way too cold to be tailgating and decided to call Mary’s mom to come get us.

After we left the tailgate we decided that we would go to Hot Springs, Arkansas and visit Mary’s lake house on Lake Hamilton and then visit the shops in down town Hot Springs. We ate lunch at a delicious Mexican restaurant called La Hacienda and then hit the stores! We both found some great jewelry that I can’t wait to wear out. After a quick trip to Mary’s lake house we headed back to Conway to celebrate her dad’s birthday. 

This weekend was a great adventure and a great time. Being back in Hot Springs brought back so many great memories from going to camp there and made me miss being there every summer. Even though we didn’t make it to the game, I still had a wonderful time with Mary and her family.

Until next time!
