The Heart O' Texas Fair & Rodeo is held at the Extraco Events Center in Waco, Texas. The mission of the Extraco Events center is to produce events for education, entertainment and agricultural experiences at the premier multi-use facility while giving back through youth scholarships and a positive economic impact to Central Texas.
I have been fortunate enough to intern there this semester. So far I am having a blast!! They people I work with are great and what they do is incredible. I have been able to help them along the way to make their Heart O' Texas Fair & Rodeo what it is!
Please check out some highlights from this years fair. It is special because this year we held the 60th Heart O' Texas Fair & Rodeo.

Baylor All-University Sing. That is what I have been dedicating my past 2 months on. It is a 7 minute broadway style act that each fraternity and sorority put on with singing and dancing. The top 8 groups get to dance again in the fall and perform the same act in Pigskin. We will find out next Saturday who gets to perform in Pigskin, who places and what the audience’s favorite costumes/backdrop/dancing/etc were! We have 9 Sing Chairs that have planned this all out. Now is the time to perform it!
Adventure is Out There! Thanks to Baylor
Tridelt and ATO are joining forces for the first time ever with another group. It has been such an amazing experience getting to dance with my friends of Tridelt, friends of ATO and my boyfriend! Our theme this year is Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. It is such a fun and energetic act, that I am sure everyone can smile at!
I think that it is really neat that you get a big sister when you join a sorority and eventually you'll get to expand your family by getting a little!
I am so blessed to have the perfect family and the coolest little! It is just so neat that you always have someone there to talk to you whenever you need it and share laughs with! No matter how close you are thy are always there for you.
I don't have any biological sisters, but I am do happy that I have hundreds of sisters trough Delta Delta Delta! I am so thankful for me wonderful little and rest of my family! I am so blessed, delta love!
"Heaven is For Real" is an amazing book with an incredible true story!! After reading this book you can't doubt the power of God and how amazing he is. He saved this little boy's life and showed his presence through this little boy's trip to Heaven. This book has proof that Heaven is for real and that the Bible is not just a story, but it is truth. I had tears in my eyes and chills during parts of this book. The stories that were told in this book show the reader that there is so much more to life. I highly recommend this book. It is a good read and hard to put down! I read this book in 2 days. Short and easy read! I think it is a book that anyone can enjoy and a great stocking stuffer for anyone who needs a pick me up. This book shows the power of our God and the strong belief of one little boy who showed us that our God is an awesome God.
The True Gentleman is the man whose conduct proceeds from good will and an acute sense of propriety and whose self-control is equal to all emergencies; who does not make the poor man conscious of his poverty, the obscure man of his obscurity, or any man of his inferiority or deformity; who is himself humbled if necessity compels him to humble another; who does not flatter wealth, cringe before power, or boast of his own possessions or achievements; who speaks with frankness but always with sincerity and sympathy; whose deed follows his word; who thinks of the rights and feelings of others rather than his own; and who appears well in any company; a man with whom honor is sacred and virtue safe. - John Walter Wayland
The other week my dad was telling me about pledging for Sigma Alpha Epsilon while at the University of Texas. He told me that they had to memorize, "The True Gentleman" and SAE creed. I looked it up and I really felt like the words are a good representation of what a gentleman should be like. It is sad that some boys in college don't observe chivalry or respect. So I hope anyone who wants to call themselves a true gentleman looks at this quote and live by it, because for a SAE, another frat or no frat at all. These are words that should be lived by and by doing that nothing can go wrong.
I just watched the movie, Dolphin Tale, and I was so inspired by Winter, the dolphin. Her ability to overcome a disability of having her tail amputated is amazing. A tail on the dolphin is vital in order for a dolphin's survival. So the fact that someone can make a prosthetic tail for Winter is almost a miracle. Winter is alive and healthy as can be today. Check it out for your self and see a live view of Winter! It is amazing that we have come so far in technology today, that we can give a dolphin their swimming ability back and even walking ability or etc. to a human being. Watching this movie made me feel blessed and thankful that I have the ability to walk, swim and etc. But knowing that we live in a world of progression, there will always be something to help anyone and everyone out if you have faith. You can make anything happen.
So I have caved in, I have gotten a tumblr...another blog! I am still trying to figure out how to use it, but by Christmas break I will have perfected it! I promise!
It is so important to be plugged into so many social medias. So I decided to get plugged into another one. Apparently it is a good thing to get plugged into. I am going to try my best to keep up with everything I have and school, haha!
I titled it, "it's the small things in life," because I believe that the small things make everyone happy and happiness is the best thing and a key to a good life. Kinda cheesy, but really! So I feel like by having this tumblr it is positive and will be happy! Who couldn't enjoy a mix of happy things and dreams?
