Caution

So I had my first of two surgeries for my process to get teeth implants today. The doctor also took one of my wisdom teeth out. There was an hour that was very painful but now I am just really swollen, on Vicodin, eating ice cream and other soft food, and watching Friends and movies. :) I have a week of recovery before I am back on my feet completely. Pray that it goes smoothly and there are no complications :)
Here are some pictures of my "bunny" face..... my upper lip and right cheek (well my whole face) is really swollen.





Sorry if that was too much information but.. hey it's my life :)

Chicago Visit!

Ladies and Gentleman! The time finally came where I went back to Chicago to visit Heath and Thais.. It had been two years and it was great to be back again.. I don't have that many pictures but the weekend was tons of fun! Mostly hanging and chilling and just enjoying each others company. The weekend included meeting Aaron and Lenore's beautiful baby boy Elijah, celebrating Ryan Brown's birthday, meeting many of their great friends, dinner with Micah and a hilarious improv show, an amazing church service, southern cooking at Edna's with John and Susan, a walk around their future neighborhood in Garfield Park, Five Guys and homemade pizookies, and rounding the trip off with a visit to the famous coffee shop frequently visited by my brother, The Grind. Needless to say it was a great trip!! Here are the very few pics that I have of the visit... Violet, their gorgeous Wheaton is featured in some of them.

Happy Memorial Day!

It has been a couple weeks since arriving at home and I have really settled into a relaxing routine! That routine is not having a routine, which has been a nice break from a busy college life. Although I miss my Georgetown friends and I miss my second home in DC, I have very much enjoyed being with my parents in Shrewsbury, even more than I thought I would.
This last Monday was Memorial Day and my parents and I decided to celebrate by going into Boston. Instead of driving into the city, we took the train in, which was very enjoyable. Our day was filled with eating great food! Seeing some very entertaining street performers. Walking along the Boston Harbor and generally enjoying the very beautiful day that we got to experience! The temperature was around the mid 70s and a cool breeze made the day close to perfect! Boston is an amazing city and hopefully we will venture into it more often!

Here are some pictures from the day!









Grrrreat Day!

My Life After Freshman Year

Here we go..

I am not going to try and catch you up on every detail of my life between the time that I stopped updating this blog and this point because I don't think I could remember it all and it would take too long. So... I am going to try and do an overview.

So I left you when my team had just finished our first conference games against Pitt and USF. Needless to say the Hoyas had a rough beginning to their Big East debut. As the season progressed though we grew as a team and begun winning close games. We ended up sweeping UConn and St. Johns, splitting with Syracuse, Providence, Villanova, Rutgers and going into extra innings with at least five teams, including nationally ranked (#15) Louisville. Our season was a success even though we fell short of making it to the Big East tournament. We are hopeful for next season and anticipating a tournament appearance. I enjoyed surprising all of the Big East teams who didn't think anything of Georgetown! We made a statement that we were arriving in the Big East and the other teams should be on their toes. Seeing the team rise to the occasion was awesome and I love all of my teammates!

At the end of this season I found out that I was awarded Third Team All Big East which was very exciting because I am a freshman and I felt proud to be able to represent Georgetown in the Big East awards. On another note, we had to say goodbye to our only senior Christina and I am going to miss her soooooo much. And we also shockingly found out that our assistant coach is leaving too, to get her PhD. which is awesome but the team won't be the same without her.

Outside of softball,which let me tell you consisted of a very small percentage of life in the spring, I tried to not stress over school but sometimes failed. Finals were tough this semester but I made it through them without any major casualities. It was interesting because in two of my classes, my final paper was about my family history. I really enjoyed researching facts and stories I had never know about my extended family so that made writing those two papers much better, but nothing could make writing a philosophy paper better at all.

Well this last weekend I moved out of my dorm room with the help of my mom and then we roadtripped it up to Shrewsbury, Mass where I will be spending most of my summer. It has been relaxing and I am hoping to get a lot done... we will see if that happens. That is my update here are some pictures from the season and from Mother's Day in Dupont Circle..

BREAKING NEWS!!
Well it is no longer breaking news but it is since I haven't updated my blog.... I am an aunt again! My sister-in-law Courtney gave birth to Eva Primrose Carter on April 24. She is so precious and Maddie is adjusting to being a big sister! I have some pics of Eva as well!
