Jewelry and such

Here are a few samples of the jewelry that I have been making as well as the beginnings of a Rosary that I stared working on yesterday!

These are the first pair I made. Brown and light blue. Love them!

These are a couple pair of green earrings that I made for Emily Reagan.

Mom says this pair reminds her of Christmas Ornaments. Rosalie says Foiled chocolate eggs!
These are a pair that I made with the colors of Delta Sigma Pi. They turned out well!


This is a quick necklace that I made a few weeks ago. My mom decided she is going to buy it!
These feather earrings are pretty but are rather hard to make. I am going to look online to see if there are easier ways to put feathers on wire!
This is a bracelet I made. These take longer to make so they will cost more. The bracelet took 5 hours!

And Last but not least is the Rosary!
This far all I have is the bottom part of the Rosary but by I go to bed I will hopefully have it finished. After that I will hopefully get it blessed by Father Ray or ask him how to bless it!

Beginning of Summer

So I know it has been really long since my last post but this semester was really hectic! So here is an update of things that I can remember from this semester. My last post, I believe, was in February so we will begin our Journey in March.



March:

Nothing truly exciting happened in March. Near the end of March however Matt had a few gigs with his band, Falls County, that I attended. I learned to set up Matt's equipment so I could look like I was a roadie and don't have to pay to get into the gigs! :) But then I learned that I will end up being a roadie anyways as I generally sell the merch. In March we also began building our wood fence and as of now it is still not completed, Mainly due to rain! Easter was fun. We had supper with the Symank family and then went to Passover/Easter Vigil at Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic Church in Wichita Falls.



April:

In April I expanded my Roadie title to include Band Photographer. Any more jobs and I may have to start getting paid for my work! :P April also brought about my fraternity's initiation and banquet. Delta Sigma Pi initiated 10 people this semester; one of which I am very proud to call my Little. Emily Reagan is a great person and great friend and I an truly honored to be her DSP Big Brother! At our banquet I received 3 award: Honestly Honest, Most Outstanding Officer and Most Outstanding Collegiate. Late April held GERMANFEST! The Symank family with Me-Me and Ad-Dad went to Muenster, Texas to see what the fuss is all about. We had a really great time and I am so glad we got to spend time with the family. The last day of April Matt's band played for the Toys for the Community/ Olney Cook-Off and I got to see not only my friend Sonny and her son Ty but I also finally got to see Ava Stewart whom I haven't seen since she was a couple weeks old.



May:

I was truly ready for May to get here. At the beginning of the month I had a photo shoot with my favorite photographer my Sister-in-Law Amber. She did an amazing job and as soon as I get the pics I will post some of my favorite. They are looking great thus far. On the 8th, Matt's band played at the Megargel Centennial. In celebration of the town's 100th year there were activities, booths, and food throughout the day. The brisket supper was good and the street dance (where Falls County performed) was lots of fun. Although there were a couple of people arrested, the night was a complete success. The weekend after the Centennial I GRADUATED!! May 15, 2010 was truly an amazing day in my life. I am done with school unless I decide Grad school is in my future. I graduated from Midwestern State University with a Bachelor Degree in Business Management. Afterwards all my family that attended went to McBride's Steakhouse for lunch. On the 21st I threw my brother a 19th birthday/graduation party and a party for my graduation as both of our parents wanted to throw parties but neither of us wanted to have huge parties. We combined the celebration and had fun anyway.



I know this was all long and kind of monotonous but now we are all caught up, and since I have yet to find a job, I will be updating my blog more often. Until next time friends God Bless and Have Fun!
