Alumni Dinner Success!

So last night was the dinner that I've been planning for about a month and a half. About 25 people showed up, so it was slightly less than I anticipated, but I was super excited that these 25 people were just as pumped to go as I was!
Fuddrucker's was so nice to all of us and I think they appreciated the business! Here are a few photos:

The Boys!

Some of the early arriving girls!

                                       

I loved all these cute reuniting moments!! Everyone caught up on schools and stories and fab things like that!!

More attendees!

All the tall girls from my graduating class--we're all 6'0'' or above! This was the best skirt photo too! I got so many compliments on it! Go forever21!

A few girls around the AWESOME cake my mom designed, check it out:

A bunch of schools that my classmates are attending!! Everyone loved this! Maroon was one of my high school's colors so we used it as the base. One local grocery store specializes in cakes and they are awesome!

Can you believe tomorrow is Christmas Eve Eve? I always feel like Eloise from Eloise and Christmastime when I say that. I love that book and the movie in New York. What a great Christmas spirit movie! I hope you all are enjoying the pre-Christmas days, and I hope you're all staying safe if you've got as much snow as I do. Avoid the roads and the malls if AT ALL possible!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today I'm thankful for my family and friends! I'm thankful that I'm home and that I love being home. I'm thankful for all my blog friends and how I feel like I even have blog friends. I'm thankful for all the food that we'll be able to eat and eat and eat. I'm thankful that my parents invested in my education and take it seriously. I'm thankful for everyone and everything in my life, and I hope everyone else is as thankful as we all are today. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone!

Guide to Being a Good Friend

Enlarge this photo and check out the advice for being a good friend! (From Glamour Magazine)

1. Gossip yes, but don't get mean. She'll wonder whether you're talking that way about her to everyone else.

2. If she's got a poppy seed in her teeth, mascara under her eyes, or deodorant on her sweater, tell her.

3. If she's crazy about him, pretend he's your brother and never, ever date him.

4. Do not--repeat, do not--side with her mother.

5. Have that scary fight about how she's been bugging you. If you can go there for a guy, you can for her, too.

6. Keep her ring size filed away in case you-know-who calls for advice about you-know-what.

7. Oh, just wear the bridesmaid's dress.

8. See straight through her attempts at cool perfection and love her more for the weaknesses she's trying to hide.

9. Remind her that she wasn't that into him, either.

10. When the guy dumps her, the cat gets cancer, the job explodes, simply be there.

What nice sentiments! Always good little tid-bits to keep in mind to be a better friend. I think its a good goal that we all can have!
