HELLO!!!!!

So I haven't updated in a while so i figured what a better time to do it than when i'm at work!?!?! :) So here's whats been happening in my life here at the University of Mary Hardin - Baylor since August 24th. :)


To start things off, I got a new job this semester at Campus Rec! I love it because it involves sports, my best friends, and wearing whatever i want to work. :) Flag football season just ended and soccer and indoor volleyball just began. My best friend Spencer and my really good friends Jason and Levi work with me. Our good friend Kelsey is the Intramural Coordinator. She's a junior... and I want her job when she graduates... ie. I suck up and do anything her or Sue (Kelsey's boss) tell me too. Plus i get paid for everything i work. :)


Classes are going GREAT!!! My favorite is strangely Financial Accounting. It's actually not as hard as it looks!!! And the prof is a great guy who works with us and is making sure we learn the things we need to learn. Here's the schedule for this semester... even though it's about 9/17ths over with. :)


Being in an apartment and having a semi-constant flow of income has allowed me to learn how to buy and save my money a lot better than relying-on-the-rents Andy. I got an account at Chase, save with coupons and sales, and limit myself to 3 movies a month. :) But every now and then i do impulse buy and this little guy has got to be my greatest buy yet this semester. :)


UMHB inaugurated it's newest president, Randy O'Rear! We went even though we WEREN'T REQUIRED TO GO. :) Such dedication... And its not everyday you get to see a university president inaugurated. :) And being a Sophomore... you already know... it's Sophomore Bell time... :)



Oh yeah, I'm still with my gf, Ashton. :)


I wonder why she puts up with me most of the time... :) Lol...


So that's whats up in my world! Registration for Spring 2010 starts tomorrow so i'll be updating with a copy of next semesters schedule. :) Mom, Dad, the GPA is at a commanding 3.65. No worries about that scholarship ;) Miss everyone and i'll be back in the 817/972 next weekend for Jesse's 13th! See ya'll then...

It's Like Coming Home...

Ahhhhh, home sweet home...


My move in is August 16th, Welcome week training is the 17th, and the 18th I become the proud uncle of 20+ freshmen... :)

That's the way we get down... in a Hicktown.

Ashton came to visit this past weekend so we traveled up to the Ballpark to watch my 19th and 20th games of the season, both against the Minnesota Twins. (We lost both games, 3-1 and 6-2) Friday night was a fireworks show...

Section 208, Row 11, Seats 8 & 9

And Saturday was the Casey Donahew Band concert after the game. We also met a few friends from school and got tickets with them... Nick and Colton if you were at the Fourth... as well as a few others... :)

Section 321, Row 10, Seats 12, 13, 14, & 15

And hailing from Burleson, Texas.... Live at the Ballpark in Arlington.... The Casey Donahew Band!!!



It was a GREAT weekend, had a blast... Madison, Dalton, and Brighton were also in this weekend... and we got to hang out and play with them as well. Ashton also took pictures with every kind of livestock we saw. :)

That's the way we get down... in a Hicktown. :)

I'm A Working Man...

This is what I do. :) I love it. That is all.

"STICKKERRRSSS!!!" @ Camp Zephyr

Youth camp was this past week! A slightly different experience for me since I was a counselor for the 7th and 8th grade boys this year and not a camper myself. We took 95 youth and 15 adults down to Sandia, Texas for Camp Zephyr. Brad Fogarty was the camp pastor with Bob Smiley providing comical relief. All in all it was a GREAT week and we had 7 youth come to Christ!!! Here's some pictures from the week.

The first picture is of rec one day, the next one is of me and one of our 7th grade boys, Abraham. He's from Ethiopia and was adopted by a family in Maypearl. Coolest little guy I know!! The last one is of the entire church group that went. GREAT WEEK!!! :)

Also... find me on Twitter and Facebook! I realize I update those a whole lot more than I update this thing so for more updates about the life of Andy, find me there.
