Kappa Delta Pi Induction

Well, last night my roommate Renee & I were inducted into an honors education society at my school called Kappa Delta Pi. In order to become a member you must have a certain GPA & they must invite you to join. Needless to say, we were VERY honored!! Here are some pictures from the night!
Here is a shot of Renee & I in our room before leaving for the ceremony.
Our names in the program... of course right next to each other :)

Renee & I were very excited & honored! Here we display our certificates.

Ever since I heard about Kappa Delta Pi my freshman year, I knew that I wanted to be a member. I have worked very hard the past 3 years to keep a high GPA and to display aspects of professionalism in all areas of my life. Last night was an incredible night for myself and many others as well. I can only hope to live up to what Kappa Delta Pi stands for & to truly become a professional influencing lives.

Easter Weekend



**Note: This is an extremely picture-filled post! :)

Well, here I am back at school after a wonderful but crazy busy Easter Break. So... I am just gonna fill you in on what happened over my Easter Break. :) On Friday, Ben's Mom fell off of Hannah's horse & broke the 4th lumbar in her back. :( Thankfully it was not her shoulder! It will take some time to heal but it could have been a lot worse!

That evening, Ben & I attended a wedding reception for Jason & Tiffany. It was at Lino's & we had a wonderful time! Delicious food, good music, & fellowship is always a great time in my book! :) Afterward, we returned to the hospital to spend some more time with Ben's mom as she recovered from the medication that made her sick.
On Saturday evening, I went downtown for root beer at Carlyles with (from left to right; back to front) Stephanie, Elizabeth, (Myself), & Jenn. We definitely had a good time! The biggest highlight would probably be myself spilling root beer all over Stephanie's pants. Oh dear! Haha!
Here is a photo of Corey, Kayt, & I from Easter morning. Our family is always taking pictures & Easter is NO different! :)
Here is a photo of my sisters & I with our grandparents. My grandma & her friend always wear a hat on Easter Sunday.
Here is yet another shot of myself with my family. :)
Here we have a photo of Ben hiding Easter eggs for his nieces and the other children to find at his grandparent's house.
The kids really enjoyed the Easter egg hunt... especially the candy that they found inside!
Here we have Aislynn (above) & Bailey (below) (Ben's nieces) after the Easter egg hunt. They had a lot of fun!


Ben & I had a great time with his family. After eating lunch & enjoying the festivities, we journeyed to my grandparents house for some more family time & good home cookin'! :)

Here is a shot of my family including Ben & my cousin Krista's boyfriend Kevin. We definitely had a GREAT time celebrating the resurrection of our Lord! All in all, it was a great weekend that came to an end all too quickly.
